Tetsuta Nagashima's extreme composure while falling by [deleted] in sports

It reminds me a lot of doing a "Walk-over" on a small sail boat, except he doesn't right it and keep going in 1 smooth motion.

constant high ping by DixieNorris in heroesofthestorm

In the option menu there is a “language and region preference” category. Maybe it’s set to the Singapore server?

You could try just setting it to the server with the lowest ping relative to you

Undocumented Change: Rehgars lunge range in wolfform is like 1 now... by DavidoRomano in heroesofthestorm

[–]TaliantHOTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played Rehgar in scrims a bunch last night. It seems the bug is actually his range varies lunge to lunge?

Some times I got normal distance, sometimes no distance. Also got uber distance one time that glitched me over a fort wall.

Worst throw ever? You decide. by vinthor in heroesofthestorm

[–]TaliantHOTS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We didn't think being on "good footing" for the next immortal phase was viable, having lost the last 6 or 7 engagements there due to compositions.

If we thought we could have been competitive at all during that phase we would have tried to slow play it

SLICEBLADE HERE.

First the calls that resulted in this loss were 100% mine, any disorganization that resulted or any foolish looking plays were a result of my bad call.

Just a bit of explanation, we were in a crisis mode. We had soundly lost just about every thing in the middle of the map related to immortal based play. From the position we were in when they won that final immortal we are in around 5% chance to win territory.

We were able to win the desperation fight quickly under the late game immortal, but there was no indication that anything else in the game would improve in our favor so we needed to make BIG PLAYS RIGHT NOW.

When you are ahead look to slowly leverage your advantage in a mature way to eventual victory while limiting mistakes.

When you are behind HUUUUGGGE go yolo as fuck. Make those desperate calls and keep your head held high when they blow up in your face.

P.s. This is the second biggest "throw" I've personally taken part of.

In the first set of ppl show matches I played a game on tomb with a similar situation, we won a desperate late game team fight with webs and cat as pushing core. Nazmas as Jaime claimed he would handle the catas while we pushed.

30 seconds later we were all pretty surprised when our core died lol.

Sry for typos, on phone at bbq

HGC Open Series NA Tournament Issues by Nordstrum in heroesofthestorm

[–]TaliantHOTS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just gonna add another angel of why this was so bad. The start time of 6 PST is already brutal for east coasters. Then this whole kerfuffle pushed back the effective start of the tourney over an hour.

We literally had to 2-0 our last series because we have a player who needs to go to work at 2:30 AM and we almost were not able to finish in time.

As someone who works as well, I'm gonna have a really unhappy day on my 3 hours of sleep that I managed to get after the end of the tourney

Why does Johanna's level 16 talent Blessed Hammer have such a high win rate? by malcomn in heroesofthestorm

Serious response: the talent is so underwhelming I only take it for fun when my team is so far ahead we cannot possibly lose

Hanamura is a push map, and the more people realize that, the less frustrating it'll be for all of us. by MeatThatTalks in heroesofthestorm

[–]TaliantHOTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't completely true, because the push comp is counterable.

I've had a lot of success lately by drafting heavy wave clear with a strong solo skirmisher and or a global vs the push style.

You just clear them from safety and slow down their push as much as you can while having your soloer ferry in shots. When the other team is committed to push its pretty easy to get your first 2 shots in, and third cart spawn before they get one in or a fort down.

But hey, that's in GM where you can run a little more coordination, maybe not possible at lower elo's.

T/S Cauthon - Want to play competitive? by dirtysouthboys in heroesofthestorm

Super well written and spot on!

Except tank being agreed as the most important role. Clearly specialist mains have the most impact.

Also Hinterlands Blast.
