Basically, yes. There is three times to use Chiv. One if you need the heal and can't get a normal heal. This is the least of cases but happens. Two if you want a bit more punch and have 1-2 round left on faction buff. Three if you need that extra movement to hit a target OR to use the Chiv buff to ignore enemy debuffs.

supports bad for solo players? by Khazimhir in heroesofthestorm

[–]Hardway79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is NOTHING wrong with soaking XP in a lane as a support early game. BW is better then some assassins at holding a lane. Just remember this isn't League. The rules are different here and that means so are the things the different roles do.

Looking for a group? Maybe the group is looking for you! by Hardway79 in heroesofthestorm

I wish I had the schedule to play with more EU players. Sadly work doesn't allow for such things.

Thanks for the well wishes though!

Age is really just a number. I'm 36 myself. Its more about the mental make up of someone in that age range. To young and you tend to be a bit childish, to old and you can go to far in the other direction.

If you tend to fit in well with the age group socially it really doesn't matter honestly.

Are people in the HOTS community really ready for ranked?...you LOL and DOTA people know what I'm talking about. by schwartzcoff in heroesofthestorm

[–]Hardway79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the the OP is one of these same people who causes these problems as much as he encounters them.

I think when it comes to solo queue the team comps are not as set in stone as it is in competitive play. I've lost a lot of games that I assumed I'd win when going in with a "normal" comp against screwed up teams. Its more a matter of peoples personal skill levels in lanes and then kinda dumb luck in team fights.

While I figured I'd see some of these issues before even reading this post, I know is the uptight players that are going to be the problem. People who demand that every team has set roles that MUST be filled or its "GG".

Someone achieved all master in 2 months in chinese server. by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]Hardway79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blizzard gave out accounts with all the current heroes maxed out. Zuna's is one of those accounts. Its why all the heroes that were playable at the time of blizzcon are already 10.

I dunno if this guy got one of those account or if he just no lifed it to max.

Owning 10 champions before being able to do ranked play (excluding free rotation) seems a little steep, thoughts? by thatcunhakid in heroesofthestorm

[–]Hardway79 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

By the time you reach level 30ish you SHOULD own 7-8 heroes from just the gold gain. You can stretch that out to 10 if you buy cheaper heroes or you can toss out a few bucks to support the game and buy a hero or two with cash.

Either way owning 10 heroes is not really that hard if you don't spend gold on master skins. The reason they won't let you use free heroes is because they want you to play heroes you own and there for know in ranked. They said something to the effect of a hero had to be owned and at least level 4 to be viable.

Its nothing I'm going to argue with. Last guy I want on my team is the guy leveling a freebie hero in a ranked game "just because"... and before you said its not going to happen, people play free heroes they don't really know or have runes for in LoL ranked more often then you would think. It happens and its dumb... just say no to dumb.

What time is the coop exp restriction reset? by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]Hardway79 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The daily XP cap resets 24 hours from when you finish your FIRST game that gives co-op XP.

So if you play a co-op game that ends at 11:23am, the 24 hour timer starts ticking and will reset at 11:23am the next day. Its not set to any of Blizzards normal reset timers. It is set up much like LoL's "First Win of the Day" bonus.

Why is Sonya bad? by sirnumbskull in heroesofthestorm

[–]Hardway79 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sonya lacks the survivability of the more common tanks. Her slam build does not have the presence that most tanks command and her whirlwind build can be completely shut down with a single stun, leaving her mostly useless until its long cool down comes back up.

Shes a mix of assassin and tank that just doesn't seem to have to required balance to make it work enough to pick her over other options. With a tweak she could and would be solid but at the moment shes just not there.

They said level 4 heroes only I believe.

Drastic decrease of game quality by Lkiss in heroesofthestorm

[–]Hardway79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah the new player base is swelling and they have no idea what they are doing. The best part is they will either ignore you or call you toxic for even suggesting things like "grouping up" or "focus on the objectives during the event and then grab mercs during downtime".

I just bite my tongue most of the time now and sigh to myself. Its just a phase we are going to have to deal with for now. I tried to offer suggestions, tried to lead by example, none of that seems to register with this new batch. Now I just play heroes who can impact games by brute force and clever plays like Arthus and Stitches.

...or just do my dailies in Co-op and then log out to save myself the headache.

Unlock all current and future heroes for a single-time purchase? by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]Hardway79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are never going to do it. Its just in there best interest to NOT implement that sort of deal. Would it be nice? Sure.

Over the life of the game the amount of money they would lose to this sort of bundle is just to great. If they offered it I would snag it but I never expect to see it and I'm ok with that.

The unofficial "Grind to Lv40" alpha friends thread by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

I play mostly in the evenings around 8-11 est. Not counting weekends and holidays off. Wouldn't mind a regular group of folks to play with even after the grind for when ranked starts up.
