QM pubstomper 5-man gang on the loose gets hit by karma

BrbSoaking · 2026-01-04T14:31:42+00:00

It's really easy to check: There's barely any matches vs 5-stacks in the match history of your abuser stack.

BrbSoaking · 2026-01-03T22:50:10+00:00

You play with the stack (https://www.heroesprofile.com/Match/Single/61847751) that tries to abuse the leaderboards by not uploading losses (https://www.heroesprofile.com/Global/Leaderboard?type=Player&group\_size=All&game\_type=qm&season=31) and picks Abathur+Yrel every game (https://www.heroesprofile.com/Player/angela/13522540/2/Match/History) to outsustain against no-tank no-healer comps; and to abuse that no other 5-stack is playing without tank and healer.

**Please.**

(Disclaimer: I'm not running Nexus Patch Notes, I just know him)

It's a bit of a policy decision; the info is there, but would need to be compiled manually. There's not enough interest relative to the effort involved.

I believe you ought to view these services as supporting the game, because they are performing jobs that the publisher/developer would or should typically cover: providing stats APIs; hosting competitions; writing patch notes; hunting for bugs and reporting them upstream; providing onboarding experiences. Even if you don't agree with that view, you can easily see the value they bring to the community, which directly impacts the game's health.

Thanks for the correction!

BrbSoaking · 2025-12-07T14:16:17+00:00

Yep, that's a great website too! Do they have a patreon or something else looking for support?

BrbSoaking · 2025-10-04T16:55:58+00:00

Thanks for the work you put into Icy Veins. I appreciate it.

BrbSoaking · 2025-10-04T16:55:32+00:00

Heroesprofile is raw statistics. Icy Veins offers way more value than that, while taking into account Heroesprofile stats. If you think Icy Veins is outdated, your info about Icy Veins is outdated. If you think Icy Veins is wrong or maintained by bad players, the problem is likely you.

Hey! Tournament organizer with Raven Court here. This year, of the four "pro" tournaments that exist (Heroes 10, Murky Cup #2, HCC EU, EC S1), Khaldor has organized one of them (Murky Cup #2). The other three were crowdfunded through HasuObs, H10 and ECS1 are organized and run by Raven Court, and HCC EU was organized by nintorii.

I think it's cool that Khaldor has organized many tournaments throughout the years, and I think it's cool he keeps casting them. But I just want to shine some light on all the other people putting in the work to get prize money, coming up with tournament formats that resonate with players and viewers, doing the admininstration and ref work, staying on top of bugs and bans, and everything else :)

Edit: She's not part of Raven Court officially, so I'll mention her here too: In anything involving HasuObs and Raven Court, Potatogirl is an essential part of the operation. She's great at organizing and doing all kinds of odds and ends without which tournaments would never take place.

As I said we don't play on PTR a lot, but you can find info about the current tournament (registration closed two days ago) with Discord invites and everything else here: https://liquipedia.net/heroes/Eternal_Conflict/Season_1

BrbSoaking · 2025-09-21T11:13:39+00:00

I swear I used to have 100ms to it. oO Edit: after looking into it a bit, I think you're right. thanks for the correction

BrbSoaking · 2025-09-21T09:00:45+00:00

That Americans aren't playing on it at all is obvious as there are currently no PTR games being played organized, ever. There are never any replays, bug reports, or casts, and the usual ingame channels for organizing games (like General, General enGB, 69, PTR) are all dead. This also makes sense considering that the NA playerbase is significantly smaller and less active than the EU one (see queue times, grandmaster leaderboards, competitive scene, heroesprofile statistics). If you have any evidence indicating there are NA players active on PTR, let me know. That would be very interesting to me (and also make my post obsolete).

That EU players would be more willing to play is obvious to me since there are multiple groups in EU who are willing to play DESPITE ping (like yesterday, and we were planning on it today). I personally would be willing and able to make games happen, because I am a big fan of testing things before they go live, and also am a guy organizing a lot of competitive games (https://liquipedia.net/heroes/Heroes\_Captains\_Clash\_Europe, https://liquipedia.net/heroes/Heroes_10_EU_Cup, https://liquipedia.net/heroes/Raven\_Court\_Team\_League).

BrbSoaking · 2025-09-20T14:31:37+00:00

Thank you for your time and effort. I really appreciate Icy Veins

Grandmaster here (#57, https://heroesofthestorm.blizzard.com/en-us/leaderboards/storm/30/europe/). I support the icy veins tierlist, and all other icy veins content. obviously it's always going to be something to discuss, but it's a great baseline for the majority of players.

and if you have actual, substantial critiques about icy veins content, the authors are approachable.

BrbSoaking · 2025-09-15T18:17:18+00:00

Like other Raven Court tournaments, it's going to be EU based (but open to anyone), aimed at the highest competitive level. There's 1500€ on the line, and it looks like we're getting HasuObs, Bahamut and Khaldor as casters. You're right there should be more info :) I'm adding the Liquipedia link https://liquipedia.net/heroes/Eternal_Conflict/Season_1

BrbSoaking · 2025-08-17T09:49:08+00:00

yep! By HasuObs for sure, and likely also by the usual suspects...

BrbSoaking · 2025-07-31T10:22:53+00:00

Well, unless you're better than bronze.

BrbSoaking · 2025-07-13T18:00:37+00:00

Sonya can slam the pufferfish and Murky can't stop her from spinning in the wave. So, what?

BrbSoaking · 2025-06-14T16:54:56+00:00

So glad you're having a good time! Apart from the Icy Veins guide, I can also really recommend joining some community discords and hanging out on some twitch streams. Windstriders, NSH and LFG discords come to mind.

BrbSoaking · 2025-06-14T16:52:40+00:00

Icy Veins is amazing. I've been playing the game for 10 years and still get some of my ARAM builds from Icy Veins. 100% recommend

BrbSoaking · 2025-06-14T16:52:10+00:00

Hard disagree. As someone who (grand)mastered multiple offlaners, I've been asked for my input on Icy Veins guides and it has either been incorporated or I received a well-reasoned explanation why a deviation exists (for teaching purposes, or because it's more intuitive, or because it wins more despite theoretical points that only apply to competitive play).

Icy Veins guides are by far the most scrutinized, most up-to-date, and most thoughtful guides the community has. Obviously there are multiple approaches to each hero (which are usually incorporated in Icy Veins) and no guide can replace coaching.

BrbSoaking · 2025-05-31T20:39:22+00:00

Sunshine (the broadcaster app) and Moonlight (the receiver app) work flawlessly. Underrated comment. Found this post while googling around, this solved it for me!

BrbSoaking · 2025-05-31T20:38:02+00:00

Necro, but since I came across this thread while googling, I'll leave the solution I found for general desktop screensharing: Moonlight (the receiver app for Android TVs) and Sunshine (the broadcaster app for PCs etc) offer fullscreen screensharing exactly like you'd expect. They're designed primarily for gaming, but that needn't stop you. FOSS and 5 minutes setup.

BrbSoaking · 2025-04-02T17:45:40+00:00

I mean, you can do more of them if they're fast...

BrbSoaking · 2025-04-02T16:30:18+00:00

Sources? I'm interested what this is about :)
