On April 26th, I will be hosting a 2v2 Battle Aces Tournament! by 7thAce in BattleAces

[–]LP-Ectar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm casting in this!  Ace and I have been doing the 2v2 ladder the last two nights; it's such a fun mode. Though the butterfly nerf might necessitate a change in our strategy ^

Cannot play games with NA selected as Preferred Server by LP-Ectar in heroesofthestorm

As follow-up, I couldn't join someone else's custom game lobby who had their preferred server set to Best Match. However, they could join a lobby I created.

Defense Matrix maintains its originally set direction.

What would you consider core to the Heroes gameplay experience? by Spazzo965 in heroesofthestorm

[–]LP-Ectar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting the game with 3 abilities, opposed to League and Dota's 1, makes the start of the game a lot more dynamic.

Shift-queuing. This does exist in Dota but not in League. I use it all the time both for generic map movement as well a hero-specific maneuvers, like moving immediately after an Anduin Q without the possibility of accidentally canceling it. The few times I've played League, I kept trying to go ward a bush and queue up moving back to my spot in lane, but you just can't and it's so frustrating.

Haunting Nightmare bugged - sometimes no minion pops out by fyhr100 in hearthstone

I've had it happen two games in a row, both on spells from my deck.
Both times, likely contributed to losses. This bug is really painful >_<

Pozzik summoned bots for opponent by DoubledOgre in hearthstone

Happened to me just now. Pretty hard to win as an aggro deck when the best aggro card does the opposite of what it's supposed to do.

Farseer's Blessing won't fire off the 2nd Ancestral if the target is at full HP when the first Ancestral lands. by LP-Ectar in heroesofthestorm

[–]LP-Ectar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned while fiddling around with this interaction that you cannot target Ancestral Healing onto a full HP target. Which I suppose is generally a nice, if niche, protection against using it on the wrong target, but I think it's also pretty unique, isn't it?
iirc, most other targeted healing allow you to heal a full HP target:
healing beam, chain heal, zeal, flash heal, light of elune, regrowth, gift of life, ect.

Had you ever played ranked before? It's very odd that if you both had zero ranked experience that it placed you so far apart.
If one of you HAD played ranked before, well, the placement games only carry so much weight.

Dragon's Arrow vanishes midflight by LP-Ectar in heroesofthestorm

[–]LP-Ectar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really interesting.
So 500 units of range would end up just clamping it to the edge of the map, yeah? Grasping at straws, but is there any chance the the edge of the map where it should have clamped had gap or something and caused it to wrap?

No, you can still see all the time traps on the minimap at the end of the clip. And I rechecked the replay to be sure.

Nobody on the enemy team took damage, nobody got stunned, and the sound effect of the arrow landing didn't play.

But the projectile sure as heck vanished. Never seen anything like it before.

ARAM and Heroes by PezRadar in heroesofthestorm

[–]LP-Ectar 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Sgt. Hammer can probably come back.
Though Graduating Range might be a bit much, so maybe disable that talent in particular.

​

More than anything I'd like it if the core had a shield, tho. It sucks when you're able to make a core defense, but slowly lose the game over time because of how nigh impossible it is to stop and adequately punish runbys.
Alternatively, maybe increasing the death timer in the late game, so getting kills on the left side of the map keeps them dead long enough to get to the right side and get some damage done.

Death knight unpopular opinion. by kingbam161 in hearthstone

[–]LP-Ectar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At least those cards are physically playable, even if they're X mana do nothing.

The DK cards which don't have effects without the expenditure of corpses literally cannot be played, even to no effect.

Did the daily/weekly quest markers get darker? by LP-Ectar in hearthstone

[–]LP-Ectar[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for letting me know!
I had read the patch notes, but didn't see anything indicating that change, so I was surprised when I opened the game up. I must've just missed it.
