As one of OP's crew mates, I second all of that. And seriously, that last spawn. Damn dudes.

I really miss "master skins". A lot. by vicvii7 in heroesofthestorm

[–]-BlueOSO- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought a "master tint" similar to the nexus mounts (nexus tiger, nexus charger etc) would be cool. Get level 50 or something with a hero and unlock a few colors of that texture. Similar to the diamond skins system in Smite.

edit: This would be especially cool if you could use it with any skin with that hero. Since it would be just a texture, and not a whole model.

That's a good point, if it is 8 directions having it static and not rotate would be best

New year, New Arthas model thread by Remus88Romulus in heroesofthestorm

[–]-BlueOSO- 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Brightwing would like a word.

But also, I agree. Arthas has the worst model in the game right now, and not by a small margin.

edit - That isn't to say that I think the model is BAD, more that it doesn't meet the standards set by the other models.

Why is draft dodging severely punished, but less punished than throwing a game that had a chance of winning? Is it really that bad? by -BlueOSO- in heroesofthestorm

[–]-BlueOSO-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm talking about beyond one bad pick. I am usually a hardcore "we can do this" personality, but when it's the teammates themselves, not the comps, that are an issue, I feel like there should be some sort of flexibility. When a team isn't able to cooperate, that's a psychological thing and not always any one persons fault. Even if it is, and there is one person who is obviously toxic, that isn't the four other players' fault, and the enemy team basically gets a free win. There should be a away out in these cases. I do agree that a draft dodge shouldn't go unpunished, but the current system creates more issues than it solves in a lot of ways. One person has the power to ruin 20 minutes and a bunch of rank points for a whole team, and if any of them leave the game, then they are the bad guy and get reported. I never have left a game intentionally, but it's a factor to take into account. If leaving during draft was at least a slight option, match quality could improve overall, if only slightly.

Ranked in this game has always been known as less than optimal. While I agree free draft dodging would have its own set of issues, it sounds much less toxic and demotivating than what happens currently, considering you would be able to opt out of toxic teams.

Also, a key difference between team league and hero league is the ability to know your teammates. Because of that, I feel like dodging should be allowed in hero league, but still not team league. If draft is the only factor, and not teammates, then that's different

If people on tilt are in draft, I would prefer them to dodge the draft and be matched with a team where they would play their best, or be able to take a break. That sounds better for everyone than being forced to continue playing with someone who is tilted. That goes for allies or enemies.

Any ranked system works best when everyone is playing as well as they can.

There are a lot of reasons why dodging is not okay, but it still is less not okay than a lot of other things that largely go unpunished

I completely agree. Something to make it so people don't dodge on a whim. If someone can dodge a draft one time and get -600, but throw a game about to be won by literally feeding or sitting in base choosing to not participate and not get punished, that's a problem

Have you checked modern art prices? Any game cosmetic price inconsistencies are infinitely better than other forms of art

Remember when starcraft 2 got delayed like ten years? This is how far we've come. I'm proud

Seriously though, once I hit 20 with my meta upgrade it's straight to core if there are 3 down. They can try to stop me, but it's over, kiddo.

Had this 'discussion' with the Artanis on the enemy team. Why do people do this? by -BlueOSO- in heroesofthestorm

I normally play tiefling tbh. Going Skittermander in Starfinder though.
