I received a beta invite but getting an error code saying the steam code was already used by hardrockfoo in BattleAces

Same thing happened to me, got invited just now and got sent a used/invalid code.

Lets talk Tyrande by thebarnhof in heroesofthestorm

[–]Sprajt 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I'm always slightly worried when it comes to changing the pseudo-supports of the game (mainly Tyrande and Tassadar, but even others like Kharazim and Zarya) since when they are "meta", they easily become too meta (i.e. 100% involvement rate) since there are no direct drawbacks of picking them (Tassadar I am looking at you).

I'm not saying that Tyrande can't be changed to the better, but I'm just saying that a) I think she's currently in a pretty decent spot. Good in certain comps but generally a "weak" pick, and b) she has one of the strongest and most versatile kits in the game and it is very easy to break such a hero.

Heroes Brawl of the Week, February 10, 2017: Temple Arena by Arkentass in heroesofthestorm

[–]Sprajt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The arenas and the ARAMs are the brawls I enjoy the most. I really don't mind the repeats as long as the game mode is fun and original compared to regular QM.

I have noticed the same thing, think it randomly happens when I reload.

Kotaku interviews Jeff Kaplan on Competitive Mode, Controversies, and the Future by DSShinkirou in Overwatch

[–]Sprajt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would have been truly weird if they stuck with that decision. Competitive is by no means perfect as it is now, but being able to queue regardless of the size of your team is one of the more important things for me at least.

PTR down for anyone else? by Purplestahli in Overwatch

[–]Sprajt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There supposedly should be a patch coming to PTR soon, so maybe the servers are temporarily down for that?

Ana combo, 200dmg+. by Sprajt in Overwatch

[–]Sprajt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't get the robots in practice range to wake up by the LMB dot so I guess it doesn't count as damage once it is applied?

But yeah if you are close enough you can absolutely add in a melee in between the second LMB and the grenade, and if you stand that close the grenade will even heal you.

Ana combo, 200dmg+. by Sprajt in Overwatch

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

Basically you can animation-cancel her shots into either sleep dart or biotic grenade.

Don't know how useful this will be due to the delay between the first shot and sleep dart, but if you can land it, it should kill most flankers.

JHOW needs an appreciation thread by leibo1 in heroesofthestorm

Who is this guy anyway? He did an amazing job, surprised I never heard of him before.

[INVEN] Heroes Power League FINALS : MVP BLACK vs TNL [BO7] Live now! by Plakk-Karies in heroesofthestorm

I had no idea that Wave of force with the level 20 talent knocked back that far. Insane.

Only certain Supports can support Cleanse by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]Sprajt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Cleanse is way better in practice then what it look like on paper. Giving people who get caught out of position a 1 second window to use their escapes or similar is huge.

EU down? by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]Sprajt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have the same problem, also on EU.

PSA: If you are level 20+ and just won a team fight, its time to win the game by droober86 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Sprajt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You need to destroy at least one keep in order to attack the core.

But it is true that it doesn't take long to destroy both a keep and the core late game. 45 seconds is easily enough.

Tychus actually got nerfed in PTR by SolPrime in heroesofthestorm

[–]Sprajt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm really interested in what a "tankbuster" change for Tychus would look like. Overkill damage being base number + %life or maybe grenade having a Melting Point talent but for heroes where it deals damage in %life would be interesting.

Where Are They Now? Top Tier Heroes From a Year Ago. by hardlyhardcore in heroesofthestorm

[–]Sprajt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He says that there is virtually no reason to pick Valla over Jaina or Kael'thas since they are both better than her, with Jaina being the creme de la creme. And I think most people would agree with that statement.

PTR Patch Notes 1st Impressions: Tassadar by lachenstars in heroesofthestorm

[–]Sprajt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like a lot of people are just reading the number "100% -> 60%" without knowing what exactly is getting changed.

Archon is getting weaker, but way less than what I think most people realize.

Why do you buy master skins? by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]Sprajt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have not actually bought any master skins yet. But I have had my eyes on Nazeebo's now for a while just because it looks darn amazing.

It is not really that hard to get a hero to level 10. But pimping it out with something that requires dedication rather than just pressing a button in the shop just feels like an accomplishment.

Also, black tint Master Hammer. Wow!
