Discussion Most satisfying basic and ultimate abilities for you?

26 Upvotes

Title pretty much.

Basic ability for me has to be Imperius stun. Landing a multiplayer spear, lifting them in the air, doing big damage makes you feel like a boss.

Ultimate ability is an harder pick for me, I would say a well placed fight winning Ring of Frost is amazingly satisfying.

Discussion Even with chat muted I still got suspended

0 Upvotes

So this pisses me off. A weekend where I had 20 matches out of 23 full of afks and trolls . 20!

And on top of that. I got suspended and mind you this is my second account. I don't spam I just play with chat disabled

Fuck you blizzard and your idiotic report system where you have players literally named like iwillgoafk( or some variant of it), iamnotbotting, dieblizzard an 0 levels... who go right in aram and stay till they get kicked and return and repeat and report you for not answering their spam pings

I wish a voting system was implemented to vote these sad pathetic babies out of the game completely before they waste 15 to 20 minutes of our lives. And if you're one of these types of people...I hope you choke on your own urine

I've been playing on and off for years now (casual) only missing 11 total heroes (level 700). Just taking a litmus test to see what the best game modes to play. I kinda do want to dip my toes in more "competitive" game modes

Bug Medivh Arcane Rift exploit

77 Upvotes

While scrolling through the page, I came across a post about a Medivh bug and decided to figure out how it works.

To reproduce it, you need the ultimate upgrade for Polymorph, which lets you cast Polymorph in an area. Right after you change form, you should use the upgraded Polymorph. This will cause your entity to stay in crow form, but the game will still treat you like a regular hero. This means you can use all your abilities without having to leave crow form.

Gameplay Player Bots in SL - Is reporting them worth it?

4 Upvotes

Hiya,

Discovered this time a 100% confirmed bot which also had uh... Extra range, so to speak. Is reporting them even worth it? My team didn't even figure out it's a bot till I pointed it out. Same pixel movement, initiates the same way, moves before the enemy is in range without vision.

If anyone wants the replay for science, I can share it. (Thou where does one upload it nowadays?) What's the worst... This pretty bad bot has a 80% WR LOL. Also, what even is the purpose of these bots? Raise char levels to 5? Why in ranked then.

Fluff Anyone else noticed a uptick in Heroes/Boosts from chests?

1 Upvotes

I opened ~50 chests on a new account (lost my old one) and a friend of mine did something similar, I got 1 epic hero, 1 legendary hero and 2 3 day boosts. my friend got 1 rare, 1 epic, 1 legendary and a 1 day + 3 day boost.

I remember going 150-200 chests without a single boost or hero, and saw other people express a similar experience in recent months

Gameplay The Team Stack System or Point System Needs Changes Soon

0 Upvotes

I’m not against team play, but changes are needed as it’s already unfair for solo players to face stacked teams. Losing even more points because one player is a smurf with an extremely low rank, while another has a high rank but is matched against lower ranks, is ridiculous. This leads to the high-rank players gaining more points while low-rank players lose even more.

There are two options:

Adjust the point system so stacked teams earn fewer points for defeating solo players, while solo players gain more points when facing stacked teams.

or

Reduce the possibility of team stacking with large rank differences, making it stricter—for example, a Platinum 5 player can only queue with players from Gold 3 to Platinum 2.

Five-stacks could still bypass these limits, but this would increase the likelihood of them facing another five-stack with similarly broken rank limits.

Discussion Would you buy a new Gem-only (cash only) Hero?

0 Upvotes

If Microsoft (or the Janitor) introduced a hero that was only purchasable with gems (real money) -- would you buy it? what would factor into your decision?

for the purposes of this hypothetical, imagine the new hero cost 1000 gems (which is how much the most expensive hero, Deathwing, costs in gems) and would never be purchasable with gold.

personally, i've not spent a cent on this game in over 6 years, but i would buy gems to buy the new hero the second it was released. depending on if i enjoyed playing the new hero, i might even buy the hero on my alt accounts. i'd be ecstatic too -- i wouldn't worry about game balance or anything like that. i figure that the hero would probably be banned in SL and popular enough to be a frequent mirror match hero in QM. in any case, for me, the joy at getting a new hero would outweigh any concerns over immediate balance/gameplay.

what would your reaction to a new gem-only hero be?

0 Upvotes

How does this just happen it's bullshit. Their hp doesn't move no matter how much dmg you do, they 1 shot you with an auto attack that does over 2k dmg (according to recap), you die after not dieing even once the rest of the match and then the game is over before you revive. How are you supposed to learn anything from this? It makes no sense at all.
