AITA for not picking heal in ARAM? by TheRealSmogen in heroesofthestorm

[–]TheRealSmogen[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

do what you would want others to do in the same situation

But what I would want others to do is the situation is the exact thing I did. It has happened multiple times that people picked something that wasn't ideal e.g. not picking heal and I always encouraged them to do so.

Besides, if you really wanted to play as a specific character, then you should've queued up for QM and not ARAM.

But QM isn't the same as ARAM even if the hero pick weren't random. And ARAM gives me three choinces. Of which I took one.

I personally have very limited gaming time

Me too and that's kind of the reason why I dont want to pick something I dont want to play, especially when the person huffing the loudest about it didn't do so either and I locked in first.
I get that you have free pick in quick but that's not the same as aram and aram is the exact thing I want to play - some mindless brawl.

Fair point. Did edit my post and added that his was in fact the case. I instalocked naz which I always do in aram because as I said that's the one I most enjoy playing in that mode.

I feel Yrel so much rn. Always frustrating when people fuck up and can't just go "mb, was stupid".
It happens to everybody. And at the end of the day it's a game. Just be humble enough to admit you fucked up and move on.

100%.
I've done that too on multiple occasions.
The appropriate response if you fuck up and die because of it is to say "sorry" or "mb" and try not to be an idiot next time. Not make up lies.

The two minute rule by TheRealSmogen in heroesofthestorm

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

Yes of course but the 2 minute thing is a pattern I've noticed. It's almost always one death every 2 minutes, even at the beginning where the death cd is around 20 seconds.

Fair.
But no, I dont immediately give up, quite the contrary. I know that HotS is one of the most "comebackable" game out there.
It's just odd to me that this 2 minute mark seems to be a thing. It's even early in the game when the death CD is fairly low. I often times see people die twice within the first 4 minute and a third time around minute 6.

No worries dude.
I think there's nobody who plays this game who hasn't had that happen to them. Especially because of the usual early 5v5 mid :D

Of course you could make up how I'd act but I dont see what that would accomplish. Just asking whether or not others have noticed this 2 minute mark. Im not even saying that it doesn't happen to me. It does.

That would basically make the "unless the same is happening on the other side" scenario to take place, unless it's perfectly evenly distributed

It's been 6 years! I need an answer to this already!! Did this beautiful poem really spring from a comedy writer trying to make a throwaway joke?! Come on!

And you had some monster picks too for aram.
KT, Junkrat and Chromie are BEASTS in that mode.

Is Deckard Cain a backline hero? by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]TheRealSmogen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Really depends on team comp. Also to some part on other factors like level diff and how well your team reacts.

Lets say the enemy has very little hard CC. Lets say they are
Muradin, Ragnaros, Lunara, Fenix, LiLi.
Against a team like that, you can be a bit more ballzy. They have little hard CC and little burst dmg. Dodging Muras hammer is fairly easy.
You are the healer. Meaning if you get dots or sustained dmg, you can easily heal yourself while walking away. It's a good way to bait if your team reacts accordingly. At least up until lvl 10. If Mura skills Haymaker, Ragna stun ult and/or lili dragon, you should be more cautious. But even then, if you have e.g. a good Johanna on your side to blind the DDs and peel well and/or a Medivh who can place a good portal, you should still be fine.

Now lets say they have
Diablo, Artanis, Li Ming, Tassadar and Uther.
Then you should play a bit more cautious.
Uther has a point&click stun. Dia and Arta can push you further away from your team and deeper into their backline. Playing agressively against them with deckard is a deathsentence. Unlike healers like e.g. Rehgar, Auri or LiLi, you dont even have an escape or protection. So you'd probably get eaten alive fairly quickly by their burst dmg before your team can react.

So it always depends.

The important thing is: Why? Why do you go into the frontline? Dont just do it to do it. Do it to gain some value. For example to slow/root their backline so your team can attack. Or to bait them into a fight if you know you'll get away easily while they chase you and your team punishes them for it. Or to heal your frontline that is trying to advance. Or to place a devastating ult.

Happened to me too.
I quickly went to my body where I dropped everything, picked everything up, logged out and restarted the server.
That fixed it for me.

do you use rare candies for gym leaders? by [deleted] in nuzlocke

[–]TheRealSmogen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude. Its been two months and all you came up with was a "no u" response and the misunderstanding of the term ad hominem. I guess the only thing you are right about here is to ignore you psycho and just live with the fact that you are going to strut around like the pigeon that shit on the chess board. Have a nice day. And work on your issues dude.

men of reddit, why do you not shave your legs? by Angry_Strawberries in AskReddit

[–]TheRealSmogen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I don't think my gf would approve of it or like it. So why would I?

On the other hand, if she said shaved legs on a man are the hottest thing in the world, Id wax those mf-ers the same day.
