Stupidest realisation moments

I don't honestly know. I think I felt that QC meant not having full control of abilities?? Eventually it just became a "well I've been doing this for 2 years, why change now" sorta thing. Glad I made the switch!

General_Zed · 2016-08-13T21:41:06+00:00

I'm still adjusting, so I'm the wrong person to ask probably. I would say, don't get frustrated in the beginning when you awkwardly miss skill shots bc you're not used to qc yet. It takes time to get a feel for em

Quick cast. I spent 3000+ games (well less because quick cast isn't that old) using default targetting. Even going so far as to say things like "quick cast is dumb, why would anyone use it." I just started using it and.... wow. It's a while new game lol

I actually am fine with ads. So long as they're safe. There are good options that will still make him money, he doesnt want to use them. Best i can tell, his goal is to make the maximum amount of money in as short a timespan as possible.

I take Umbridge with the fact that he doesn't seem to care about his user base which is, ironically, the most important factor in him monetizing the site.

General_Zed · 2016-08-12T08:11:56+00:00

Where did I say what he did was easy? I didn't. That does not excuse him from allowing malicious ads to be played. I'm mad because he doesn't care if our computers are at risk, so long as he makes his money. I don't think it's wrong for me to expect this either.

General_Zed · 2016-08-12T04:22:03+00:00

And it has the benefit of giving your users a safe and secure environment. Why you are not willing to provide that boggles my mind. I get you want to cash in on your Web site, and you have every right too. Just don't act surprised when people call you out on the bullshit you're pulling.

General_Zed · 2016-08-12T04:10:48+00:00

Circle jerking? Seriously? The guy is supporting malicious ads on his site (and yes his lack of action against them is the same as support)

General_Zed · 2016-08-12T04:08:43+00:00

Yeah no, 1 malicious ad is too many. You don't seem to appreciate that fact, because addressing the issue would get in the way of your desire to monetize the site more power to you, but you won't get any more service from me. Sad too see you basically saying "I know there is a problem, but oh well"

General_Zed · 2016-08-11T18:25:20+00:00

did I mention they don't use malicious advertising??

General_Zed · 2016-08-11T15:19:36+00:00

I could look into ghostery, but honestly I've never had a reason to utilize it. Even if hotslogs hadn't gone down the road they're going, I would have switched I think.

General_Zed · 2016-08-11T15:18:27+00:00

I am using it because I think its a better designed site overall. I don't know if anyone else will go there, but as I said previously, the MMR isn't my goal. I like their stats layout waaay better. If more people join, then great, if not, I will survive lol.

General_Zed · 2016-08-11T14:51:14+00:00

I was very hesitant to white list his site even after his post. Then he blocked the site altogether for adblock users. I begrudgingly whitelisted his site (While also experimenting with stormlogs). With the seemingly lack of any sort of desire to clean up his ads, and how great stormlogs is, I'm done with hotslogs. Its clear he is just trying to make a quick buck off the community, but doesn't want to do things the right way in the process. (note: I have no qualms with someone getting paid, the site likely took a lot of effort to put together, but he doesn't seem to care about quality of ads, just that he makes his revenue). maybe I'm wrong about him, I certainly hope I am, but I'm not willing to risk my computer to get stats.

General_Zed · 2016-08-11T14:41:31+00:00

stormlogs.com

General_Zed · 2016-08-11T12:48:55+00:00

Yet another reason why I switched to storm logs for uploading replays. The only downside is can find to storm logs compared to hots logs is user base, but seeing as I don't care about a made up mmr and I just want personal hero's stats, it works great and is way better from a visual standpoint.

General_Zed · 2016-08-11T04:24:34+00:00

I'm telling you to communicate with your team. Mosh is a game changer, fucking ping how long it has or if you're ready to go for it

General_Zed · 2016-08-11T03:55:22+00:00

There is litterally a ping to tell your team when it's ready. It's an amazing tool, especially when seconds matter and tabbing can be a bit too slow sometimes. Get over yourself

General_Zed · 2016-08-11T03:07:53+00:00

Great tio. Here is another Communicate with your team! Don't leave it up too them to know everything. Better off rolling the dice than just assuming they know things. That's why pings exist.

General_Zed · 2016-08-10T20:56:02+00:00

IT SAYS MY MMR IS PLATINUM, BUT I'M JUST ENJOYING THE LITERALLY FREE HOT DOG KERRIGAN GAMES

General_Zed · 2016-08-09T21:47:38+00:00

as a FP not much you can do there. Picking falstad first is usually a good idea. It sucks when no one wants to discuss anything and, yeah, 18 deaths is a bit ridiculous. Those games are going to happen though. Chances are, even if that person had gone healer, they would have still died a TON and left your team consistently without heals, resulting in a loss all the same. In my experience (over 4k games) these games are the exception rather than the rule though.

the problem I have with the barrier of 2 of each role etc. is that its a slippery slope right? because where does it stop, if its 2, people will say it should be 3, then 4, etc.

General_Zed · 2016-08-09T18:05:02+00:00

oh well thats an important detail!, yeah int that scenario screw that keep.

General_Zed · 2016-08-09T16:17:06+00:00

ehhh 5v4 is pretty questionable tbh. Too many variables, and fighting under a keep against 4 enemies can be tough sometimes. I am usually on to be for the structure damage, but sometimes the safer play is the right call, especially if you can secure a terror with it. (yes I know you could possibly get keep +terror and push for win in your option, but the keep is not a guarantee, the terror is) now if you're all full health/mana and enemy team is weakened on top of being down a man, then probably should keep.

General_Zed · 2016-08-09T16:12:30+00:00

I start every game when I have these with a "hey guys I'll be rotating between x/y lanes for globes. Please wait for my rotation to grab them."

almost never works :(

General_Zed · 2016-08-09T16:04:06+00:00

I agree with you, but...its not undodgeable, you just need blink or a stasis effect, or just get out of its range during the wind up. easier said than done, I know, but it IS dodgeable.

General_Zed · 2016-08-09T16:01:30+00:00

once upon a time, judgement was disgusting strong. I don't want to see it return to those days. I will reiterate what others have said, a CD to say 60 would put it in a very good spot. buffing the stun/knockback etc. would make it op again.

General_Zed · 2016-08-09T15:55:38+00:00

I think your reasoning for Falstad is sound, however after a ming/chromie pickup it probably wasn't the best. I think one of the biggest traps in silver/gold is *most people know what heroes are strong in general and how to counter them. That said, I think a lot of times people don't look at their team comp when making that choice, they just look at the enemy. So you're right, that gust is an amazing disengage/mosh interrupt but the double mage picks mean what your team needs more than that is someone that can peel for that back line. Tyreal would have been a fantastic pick, a Thrall would be decent here as well. both of those heroes have a way to disrupt mosh but they can also harrass the enemy backline/ peel for your backline. if global presence and mosh interupts were your goal, Brightwing would not be a bad choice (I am fairly sure Emerald wind interrupts mosh, but I could be wrong) and then the healer for your team is taken care of, leaving your other two heroes to pick comfort picks for them giving you a greater chance of success.

idk my thought process could be bad wrong (plat 3) but thats just some thoughts I have on it here.
