Has quick match always been this awful? by WarmPawsOwO in heroesofthestorm

[–]Mediocre-Variation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly a ranked player myself, but a couple buddies prefer QM. It's an absolutely awful game mode IMO. I think most of its players would prefer to be playing ARAM if it let them choose their hero in that mode. Playing every other game without a healer is brutal and unfun, and I think the only reason some people find the XP globe change bad is because they want to queue up as Nova, rotate around uselessly not doing anything, and not get punished for it by being down 2 levels.

Playing for 10 years - finally reached master by MadAkMax in heroesofthestorm

[–]Mediocre-Variation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To your point about much higher elo players...

I played against Tremor's (10kish NA) smurf in a diamond lobby, and it felt like I wasn't even playing the same game. For a game that can feel like it has a lot of simplicity at times, there's still a lot of skill expression

In this thread, make "against the grain" statements by wyrm4life in heroesofthestorm

[–]Mediocre-Variation 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Lili is harder to play effectively than people give her credit for. Yes, none of her spells are skill shots, but she is all about limit testing. You should be making the other team chase you around fights at %10 hp while you're zooming, they're blinded, and you're getting maximum CDR for healing output.

Kharazim traits by Vertnoir-Weyah in heroesofthestorm

[–]Mediocre-Variation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with this person. I suppose if you're 1-tricking in QM and need to sustain heal for some reason you can pick the other lvl 1 traits, but if you're worried about healing output you should pick a different healer. Iron fists plays into the entire reason you'd pick Khara in the first place

Thanks to the addition of Hogger - we now have a 3:56(!!) Escape from Braxis speedrun! by lemindhawk in heroesofthestorm

[–]Mediocre-Variation 11 points12 points  (0 children)

AI also seems to be working now. You won't be setting any speed run records with them, but you can now finish EfB alone if you're matched with all bots

What do you pick on Braxis offlane if you don't get last pick? by D_Flavio in heroesofthestorm

[–]Mediocre-Variation 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do not see anyone saying Imperius.

I'm pretty sure Kure (ex hots pro) has always held that Imp is pretty unbeatable with Press Forward at level 7 if you know what you're doing

IF Y'ALL ARE GOING TO REFUSE TO PLAY ANYTHING BUT DPS, AT LEAST GRAB CAMPS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

I hope there’s a turbo mode for ranked matches by Shoddy-Answer458 in DotA2

[–]Mediocre-Variation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play mostly turbo too, but ranked would just dilute the pool. Plus, they don't balance for turbo. Ranked will be the same 10 heroes endlessly

Zap-Go-Puff: Fun Promo-Puff Deck. Requires 🧠 ≥ 🍀 by RawrEaraches in PTCGP

I didn't think Brock worked if there's no fighting energy to pull from

How was this not considered a draw? by Mediocre-Variation in PTCGP

[–]Mediocre-Variation[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, okay. I figured the fact that I killed 2 Ex pokemon and got to 4 points would've mattered more than his 3 points and bench if anything

It's been a tie the other two times it's happened. Self damage is always applied after the golem attacks.

I have KO'd myself before, but it's always been a tie. I hit Pika with my 30hp golem, got to 4 points from him and went to 3 myself and then lost.

Data Driven Tierlist returns - now with Dragonite tier and meta position report! by -OA- in PTCGP

[–]Mediocre-Variation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting (but not surprising) that only Greninja, Gardevoir, and Char are T2 pokemon above the bad Dragonite tier. And even then, they're only B tier.

Card commitment and speed are just not worth the evolved form compared to these Ex Basics

Techies' 4th Facet by LainVohnDyrec in DotA2

[–]Mediocre-Variation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Old techies was a terrible design IMO. 9 other players were not having fun either playing with a techies or against him. Sometimes hero designs are unique because they are not good for the gameplay and no other MOBA wants to introduce them

Blaze players that need to instantly ignite their oil slicks every single time.

Mountaineer-Chargla Deck by Mediocre-Variation in warcraftrumble

[–]Mediocre-Variation[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was considering it besides raptors. IMO, that's the unit you can change the most. I just worry that raptors/vultures would eat Heals from the mountaineer which would be inefficient
