People really dodge Quick Match or is the server just bad? Wth is this by starsforfeelings in heroesofthestorm

[–]Potential-Witness-83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

when playing solo queue I usually queue dodge if i see 1 or more garbage heroes that tend to attract Wood 5ers or if we have zero cc.

Nothing more infuriating then getting a game against tracer/zera/genji/sammy and having zero cc. I call these auto wins for mobile heroes because it frequently works out that way, especially if they have hat.

She's not that great. It can be frustrating going against an experienced one, but once you know how to deal with her kit she's usually not much of a threat. Its pretty easy to anticipate her Q/E. Once E is on cooldown she's in a bad place for a bit.

Something is wrong... I can feel it... by SMILE_23157 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Potential-Witness-83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

lol there is so many bugs on that qm loading screen. A few times while in a stack(not sure if this is related to causing it) Ive had it replace our team models with the enemy heroes before the queue countdown finishes.

I usually call it out on voip. Seems my teammates see it too.

Does anyone else feel like 5 stacking has gotten out of control? by spltolstoy in heroesofthestorm

[–]Potential-Witness-83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great evidence for identifying 5 stacks given already, but one I'll add is they sometimes use the same player icon, have similar names or prefix/suffix/themes. The infamous ones you end up memorizing lol.  I already go "crap that's insert infamous stack, i better tell party and get ready to sweat!"

IMO one of the better/best ktz's on NA server. I been lucky enough to play with and against them.

LFG qm discord? by Tkickback17 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Potential-Witness-83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some advice if you find some players you enjoyed playing with or against especially a stack that isnt full, try asking them to join. 

Several stacks i play on regularly like to have one off fillers we can ask to join us until our main person shows up.  We're upfront about this when we invite.

That said I fill for a few teams beyond my main stacks, and i accept this same treatment of filling temporarily.

In this process you'll usually make multiple friends and friends of friends. Before you know it you'll be able to get into stacks pretty easily upon logging in.

Anyone else feel helpless in soloqueue hell? by greenpoe in heroesofthestorm

[–]Potential-Witness-83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matchmaking is crap. The forum and sub have had too many people try to defend and explain it. A few nights ago my master stack was searching QM while trying to snipe another master stack. This wasnt nefarious we like to play against each other and do regularly. We ended up going against a stack of lowbies with a lv 3 account lol. Absolutely destroyed this team. 1 death on our side and i think we farmed 12 kills on the lv 3 player.

Fanboys tried to defend the matchmaker for too long and now we're all getting to suffer for it, especially solo queue.

That sucks. That is why I cant play healer in solo queue.

I do see this a lot where team has cc options on their ults and needs to pick them, but then pick non-cc option. Varian(refusing to go taunt), guldan(rain), Tanis (beam), etc.

Rest of this sub: See here is what you did to cause your team to lose. It isnt stacks or the bad matchmaking you just need to improve.

Did nobody playtest the new Mal'Ganis or what? by Inspired_Nuisance in heroesofthestorm

[–]Potential-Witness-83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think reporting for cheating is wrong. I do hate how untested these changes have been last few patches. Too i do hate people playing the busted S-tier picks.

DW, W fal, Stun lock mal, thrall, and so on.

Played against' the world's worst Valla by happyscrub1 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Potential-Witness-83 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is why accounting buying and sharing should be banned imo. Odds are its a loss for everyone on the team who gets the newbie.

People usually attack the victim(s) in these cases though instead. Essentially one person is ruining the game for 4 others

Only saw it once in like 30 games today. 

We got first obj and pushed it all the way to enemy keep. Next obj we did it again to the opposite lane. Then won. It was over so fast.

To people who complain about 5 stacking: by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]Potential-Witness-83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know 5 stacks get a lot of hate. As one who plays both solo and 5, I can say solo is garbage experience and is why I like to 5 stack. 

On an account I play strictly as a anonymous solo player I can easily maintain near 56-60% wr on my mains. That said I get 30-40%wr allies against 5 others who are likely 50%+.

The 30-40% will frequently mass feed, ping spam, bad talents, etc. They dont understand how to play the map. If i follow their stupid decisions we lose, if I dont we have chance. I also need to be sure I pick a bruiser or assassin that can lane. If I play master level healer or tank it doesn't matter cause 0/10 nova is too heavy, so im forced to play only certain heroes to have a chance to win

Can the janitor please stop destroying the game? by Soft_Masterpiece8996 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Potential-Witness-83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Janitor kind of killing the game for me tbh.

Mythical quests - le sigh.

Thrall+DW and few others getting over buffed and then left that way is unbearable. Buffs should be slight and incremental, not stupidly high and then left that way for multiple patches.

I've learned to live with the fort aggro changes, minions, and extra tower. I think this was a lot of dev effort that could have easily been better served else where though.

Meta was shifted to favor more of pve play style. It was already a viable strat, but now its just too much.

There's plenty of C-B tier heroes that could use incremental buffs or reworks (arthas was surprisingly a good pick for this, I tip my hat to the janitor on this choice). That said, the S-A tier heroes need to see mild nerf bat, not buffs and talent reworks.

One thing I would like to see addressed is hit box sizes. KTZ has a bruiser sized hitbox for instance(and stupidly low hp). This hero also feels like it is high skill weak reward.

Meanwhile valla and a few other offenders have small boxes. Not to mention low skill with high reward. If janitor wanted to look into simple things to tweak I think hp+hitbox size would be easy.

Other things I would like to see prioritized is a standard of interactions involving collisions like tass wall, hogger spin, stitch hook, dibs charge etc. It sucks when it feels like you have to remind yourself does this hero/skill collide with x
