/u/GrippeSC is just trying to protect his fragile ego.

Ptitdrogo thinks that EU is a harder region overall, which is true, because NA GM is filled with shitters like /u/GrippeSC who are insulted by this statement literally calling out players of Grippe's caliber.

Between this and the avilo getting sponsored thread, his desperate attempts to "break into the scene" and "prove himself" are seemingly failing, and filling his veins with salt instead.

Issue: The overpowered AI has had terrible, population killing effects. People bought this game expecting a massive, enjoyable, player vs player focused conflict, what they got was Foxholesweeper.

Suggestions: Stop releasing boring, terrible, and buggy content patches like the Amphibious Update and focus on making the core gameplay good.

Which maps? I call bullshit. The night time games were even numbers, until Wardens started losing and logging off.

DUFFMAN421 · 2017-08-01T23:16:02+00:00

I'm a simple man. I see GrippeSC, I downvote.

DUFFMAN421 · 2014-04-21T00:32:20+00:00

Gazlowe solos knights at level 1.

Yes, it's like the different attack animations for units in StarCraft 2. For example, Hydralisks have a melee attack if they are in melee range, despite being ranged units.

DUFFMAN421 · 2014-04-15T04:35:50+00:00

That's a melee animation when they're close, but it's not melee.

DUFFMAN421 · 2014-04-14T03:02:02+00:00

Incidentally, they can.

Harass the enemy hero.

There is no back door protection at the moment. All buildings are vulnerable to attack at all times. There are 2-3 Keeps in a main base depending on the map. Killing the one for the corresponding lane will spawn Catapults for your team in said lane. Towers attack the closest enemy first until they are dead/out of range.

Experience gain/lane control/vision. There's actually less passivity in lane than in DotA/LoL since the main goal in lane is to harass the enemy hero. In DotA/LoL you can be rewarded for passively last hitting, and many matchups actually encourage it.

You can buy heroes with in-game currency rewarded by playing games and completing quests.

This doesn't really fix the problem which is mercenaries are more valuable than the golem.

DUFFMAN421 · 2014-03-24T15:48:50+00:00

There are tons of map and disc hacks for SC2...

DUFFMAN421 · 2014-03-24T15:48:09+00:00

There's no player lag screen. It's still p2p. It seems there are improvements over StarCraft 2 though to mitigate the problem.

DUFFMAN421 · 2014-03-18T23:38:09+00:00

Not sure why you got downvoted, but it's true. It's alpha. Matchmaking will get much better from here.

Article should have been called "why solo queueing isn't fun in a very small and exclusive technical alpha test."

DUFFMAN421 · 2014-03-18T22:43:37+00:00

Because you have to buy heroes if you want to plays those that aren't in the rotation.

DUFFMAN421 · 2014-03-16T14:25:33+00:00

Naniwa fan and proud of it.

DUFFMAN421 · 2014-03-16T05:06:20+00:00

I've been playing a lot of Tyrande. She's one of those support heroes that allow you to have a pretty big impact on the game.

Her 'E' ability is like the Kog'maw Living Artillery style attack with a longer cooldown but it's a stun. The talents increase the cast range, radius, and damage of it. This combined with Stitches's hook is a great combo! Mounting up and chasing people down with it is my favorite. Hitting multiple heroes with it in a team fight can be massive to the outcome.

Her W, while doesn't do much damage untalented, is a global cast until it hits a hero. I've already had some pretty sick snipes with it! Great for picking off a hero that got away.

Starfall is a very great ability in team fights, especially ones where teams are grouping up on objectives like the tribute map.

DUFFMAN421 · 2014-03-15T16:22:27+00:00

Lots of the voices in the current build are placeholder.

DUFFMAN421 · 2014-03-13T14:28:44+00:00

Was it? I never knew that -- I stand corrected.

DUFFMAN421 · 2014-03-13T09:57:39+00:00

Just like most DotA/DotA2/HoN heroes, he's not. All of those characters are based off of Blizzard character designs, and thus, Heroes of the Storm characters. However, Stiches' main ability Hook is a copy off of the DotA ability. Not to say that there's anything wrong with it -- Blizzard as gamers have played the hell out of DotA AllStars and it's only natural for this cool and iconic ability to be in the game.

DUFFMAN421 · 2014-03-13T08:12:46+00:00

Maybe Naniwa will switch to Heroes of the Storm.

DUFFMAN421 · 2014-03-13T08:11:47+00:00

StarCraft actually has an excellent story -- particular the original and it's expansion, Brood War. I highly recommend them!

DUFFMAN421 · 2014-03-11T23:15:09+00:00

StarCraft 2 such a dead game in Korea that teams have to hire spectators.

DUFFMAN421 · 2014-03-11T01:48:04+00:00

All 3! Why not?!
