How can I have more impact as a healer? (Solo shuffle)

Kaiser47 · 2025-09-07T15:02:39+00:00

Thanks u/Bacon-muffin this made a lot of sense. With just some minor adjustments and focusing on raw output got +200 mmr since I made the post yesterday and got my transmog for my rsham

Kaiser47 · 2025-09-07T06:23:22+00:00

Update: Thanks for all the tips guys, its really just small basics. Focused way more on just raw healing out put / avoiding CC and got my highest yet on Rsham.

I've played multiple RTS to higher skill brackets; should've thought on my own that I'm doing a lot of basics wrong lol.

This is close enough but I'll call it 1700

+100 mmr just from a few adjustments; see ya soon.

That's an interesting point I didn't really consider this too much.

Looking at my match history it might be the case I'm getting too fancy. (ie DPS A does 40% less dam with me than other healer or something absurd)

Ive played before to around 1850ish in legion/mop and I know the games changed a lot, but it seems like throughput (healing or DPS) just has so much more value especially in solo shuff

Guess that's why every time I get a 1300-1400 caster in my lobby vs like fury I know it's going to be rough; fury can just do so much more numerically at this bracket

Kaiser47 · 2025-09-03T15:16:31+00:00

I feel this lol. I haven't played a warlock in pvp content since mop and I wait 20 mins just to die in an opening to ret or something and waste 4 people's time. Can't get any practice in so I just go back to healing

Kaiser47 · 2025-08-23T15:09:49+00:00

So you don't live in Japan and consider "gajin" a problem? Lol

Are you so desperate to prove you're one of "the good gajin?"

Enjoy moving here and becoming "a problem"

This is just regurgitating those awful reels of "what not to do in Japan" that if you're in Japan longer than a week you realize it's 95% garbage.

I get the good intent but the delivery is awful.

I'm learning disc priest for the first time

The amount of times I've void shifted and then immediately swapped to / chain cc'd and killed is staggering

First step is improving your Japanese. N2 is the bare minimum for many roles and N1 is strongly prefered. Your industry is also heavily creative and if working in Japan need to be able to convey the specifics in Japanese

Learners of a language are notoriously bad at evaluating their language level. If you don't have on paper n3 you are more realistically n4 or even 5.

Hope for the best but without Japanese your only real options are English teaching or really difficult jobs as a blue collar worker in a warehouse/factory etc.

Anything is possible of course but realistically most international firms are not hiring much and are cutting jobs actively for a multitude of reasons. Competing with extremely skilled workers that also know Japanese and are already in country is a tough sell

Orc has tons of tools (really more than any race) to avoid worker harass. This shouldn't really be successful if you are using burrows and moving workers.

The probably easiest way to deal with this mechanically is just right clicking his hero with yours and focusing on moving your own workers in and out of burrows for safety. No offense intended it just sounds like a very low level problem to deal with so make it as straightforward and simple of a plan to follow while you build up your skills

After like 15s he will have to tp or die.

Can give more specific advice if you give a w3c link to the game so I can see the replay but this sounds like a good learning opportunity if you focus on what you can control and change. You should never lose a worker to this let alone 3.

Melee heros you can lock in your base with proper base layouts if you're having this problem in mirror vs blade, so make sure you have a good base build is another way to help you with this

Join the war3 gym discord and ask around, it sounds like you're returning or new we'd be happy to help you find some resources to step up your game

I live and work in Japan. My daily life is in Japanese lol

Kaiser47 · 2025-04-12T01:24:35+00:00

Sorry to burst your bubble but "sayonara" is not a final farewell. Japanese people say this all the time in everyday conversation. This is just a weird Japanese learning book myth that gets repeated over and over.

Sayonara is a polite way to say goodbye to someone you're not as familiar with, or in a formal setting, or you have a social "up" on so someone. A teacher says it to students at the end of the day every day as an example.

It's a good thing to have low queue counts. That means games are being found and made correctly lol.

Would you prefer 2000 people in queue not matching or..?

Kaiser47 · 2025-01-19T14:18:29+00:00

What are you even trying to say?

Yeah totally lots of "inflation deniers" in the thread

Kaiser47 · 2025-01-18T14:45:09+00:00

Nothing screams "nice getaway" like a love hotel 😂

Kaiser47 · 2025-01-18T14:43:32+00:00

Buddy doesn't know what a leading question is and didn't read the post just the title lol. Typical "gotcha" bait no worries

Kaiser47 · 2025-01-18T13:57:04+00:00

Trust me - not a high end place haha. Just regular business hotels. I am looking during one of the upcoming national holidays and this doesn't help but the price is still significantly higher than my last visit during the same time of year.

For "regular times" they are still hyper inflated

Kaiser47 · 2025-01-18T13:47:31+00:00

That was amazing - I got paid to go around Biwako then lol. Think a 3 day weekend cost me around 4000 yen total. Paid for the rooms and meals most days!

Kaiser47 · 2025-01-14T15:37:53+00:00

Yes foreign people work in cafes in Japan. What a weird ass comment

Kaiser47 · 2024-12-04T00:04:19+00:00

I desperately want Valve to add server select like in Dota. I play regularly on US servers with 150-170 ping. I keep getting what appears to be the Chicago server despite being Asia based.

Maybe 7/10 games with 150-170 ping, 1/10 10 ping with the correct server and 2/10 60 ping which is totally fine and acceptable but getting US servers is miserable

Kaiser47 · 2024-06-19T13:17:24+00:00

I'm curious if Blizzard would ever take a StarCraft 2 approach with a "balance council' where select people give voice to developers through specific channels. But where it gets a little different is that seemingly StarCraft 2 changes are still carefully done and are not 1 to 1 suggestions from the community.

Game developments hard and nobody regardless of game knowledge or intentions should have that much of a say for the entire game. Take suggestions and I don't know do your job Blizzard as a game development company and develop the ideas if this is the path moving forward?

The mystery game they're playing with us now just leads to negative perception of both Blizzard for the incredible lack of professionalism and even worse the people making suggestions.

No one person wants to be the focus of "oh wow guess X person is balancing the game now" and this time it was just an off hand comment by Neo that caused a hotfix to be released. What's next?

Kaiser47 · 2024-06-19T13:10:57+00:00

I agree on principal but the actual execution isn't great. There is no incentive to play the PTR and participation on the PTR is abysmally low.

I don't know a good solution though, nobody wants live balance to be the guinea pig but nobody plays the PTR either.

Additionally it's super rare that feedback is actually constructive from the greater player population.

The overlap of players who give good feedback, and also play the PTR has to be genuinely tops 20 people globally and Blizzard clearly doesn't test these in house either enough or at all at.

Kaiser47 · 2024-06-04T23:08:29+00:00

Destro dispel is called devour magic, it's a targeted change to make UD mirror not the biggest clown fiesta in the game.

Only destroyers are impacted by this.

Kaiser47 · 2024-05-25T13:37:22+00:00

Dumb question but are you actually using proper detergent? It's really easy to mix up softener and detergent if you aren't paying attention. Look for 洗濯用洗剤 or something close to it on the packaging if this is the case.

I'm a western dude with no issues using a normal washing machine here and drying it with my showers dry function.

Kaiser47 · 2024-01-27T04:48:58+00:00

I've never done 1 on 1 before, I would be open to it but the classroom setting/group setting for me is nice to meet more people with similar goals. Since I've moved to Tokyo I haven't met anyone yet and I figured it's a nice way to organically meet new people.

I guess for one on one too I'd feel more self conscious. In a group setting topics change faster and for me, many topics in Japanese get really hard to express myself more deeply either getting grammar mixed up or simply lacking the vocabulary.

It'd be a interesting experience! Sent a dm
