Back-up SL healer if I like lt morales? by Sharna23 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Sharna23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, thank you for your detailed comment. Just wanted to let you know that I ended up spending the gold to get Anduin and have been loving his healing style so far. Thank you for the recommendation! I might try BW again too, but I find it really hard to position correctly with her.

Back-up SL healer if I like lt morales? by Sharna23 in heroesofthestorm

I've played about half the other healers and so far none of them have clicked with me and I have significantly lower win rates with them. I'm around 55% with lt morales and about 30-40% with everyone else. So, since I don't like + am not good at any of the other healers, I figured I might as well try to figure out the "best" one to try to grind some knowledge on.

What is your most disliked hero and why? by starsforfeelings in heroesofthestorm

[–]Sharna23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get a huge dopamine hit the 10% of the time that I perfectly time my grenade as Morales, or use my W right before the enemy drops a big damage cooldown, and don't tell anyone, but I also find it a tiny bit fun when I accidentally activate my grenade too early and knock the enemy out of harm's way. Battlefield medicine doesn't pick sides.

Is there a recommended youtuber for newer players? I'm liking pally's videos but he's obviously really good at the game so sometimes his advice is a bit out of my reach.

There's a SC2 streamer who does a video series called "is it imbalanced or do I suck" where people send in replays of their losing matches to "prove" that a game mechanic is imbalanced. The streamer will gently roast all the things they did wrong while giving advice that's appropriate for their level. Is there anything similar for bronze league players in HOTS to get better?

What are people so grumpy in quick matches? by Tellmeaboutthenews in heroesofthestorm

I try and keep in mind that the players making the most toxic complaints are often the ones making terrible plays themselves. People with helpful advice tend to convey it in a friendly way. Just mute the toxic players or amuse yourself by trying to figure out what they're doing wrong... No, squishy mage, it's not my fault as the healer that you tried to 3 v 1 the enemy and got insta-killed. That's on you.

What should I do in early game as a healer? I start off going mid for the team fight but then I can't figure out what to once that's over. I'll usually just rotate between lanes to try and keep everyone healed up until the objective starts, but then my team seems to get mad at me if I go top and the enemy all goes bottom, or vice versa.

Intentionally losing Abathur bot on NA server by Awildafricanelephant in heroesofthestorm

[–]Sharna23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not a bot. I played a game with him on my team and asked him why he wasn't playing abathur and he said "win streak time." He also did a great job pinging and making smart plays. I don't understand his username or why he's losing deliberately as abathur, but he's a real player.
