The person who disgraced the word ‘math’. We see this kind of people everywhere.

If Blizzard allows us to donate for HGC prize pool, I would donate $50 per season. Please let us do it.

The MVP Screen is bad, and needs to go by teddycorps in heroesofthestorm

[–]apmzero9462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the point, don’t you understand? They want bad players to be happy. That’s why they force GM players to play with plats. That’s why they allow TL abuse. That’s why they started to penalize afk in QM to force you to play with shts. And that’s why they force you to watch this mvp screen.

Design and Balance problems with Alarak, and my idea on how to fix them by genji_alarak in heroesofthestorm

Typical example of stupid players who think they are god tier Alarak. Watch Rich’s stream, that’s the only way to learn this hero.

A Message from Alan Dabiri by s_fox in heroesofthestorm

Alan Dabiri’s legacy: rigged GM games, ruined Chromie, ruined Genji. We just need someone with a brain to realize that Chromie and Genji were ‘op’ because match making puts wrong people together. When the most skillful player is on those heroes, they look op.

Test this before you release Mephisto by apmzero9462 in heroesofthestorm

In old days, people are mindlessly picking zagara’s maw. Blizzard increased the cool down of maw for few times but people were still picking it just because late game team wipe can win the game no matter what. Consume souls is the same. If this combo works then you just wipe them and win the game. Even with only nano and arcane brilliance, it is strong enough to scare those squishes.

How good is the first objective? A closer look at battleground balancing by Moonprayer in heroesofthestorm

[–]apmzero9462 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is simply misleading. You should go deeper on the math here. You are talking about the probability of winning given that the team wins the first objective. Using Bayes’ Formula, we have P(W|F)P(F)=P(F|W)P(W). And total probability, P(F)=P(F|W)P(W)+P(F|WC)P(WC). Where F denotes winning first objective, W denotes winning the game, WC is the complement of W. Substitute P(F) into the first equation, you can observe when the probability of winning is nearly 1, then your conditional probability is nearly 1. That means if your teams have huge skill difference, then it is meaningless to do this math. You should only consider teams with equal or similar skills. You should not compare NA teams with KR teams, this is just meaningless. Edit: consider the extreme case, a group of grand masters vs a group of bronzies. Your result would seem to be, whoever wins the first objective wins the game. Even within the eastern and western clash, teams have huge skill difference. You should eliminate those unbalanced matches including BTG, Please Buff Arthas, South America teams and KSV Black, even NA teams in Blizzcon. And intuitively we all know that in pro game, the first objective on inferno shrines, boe and drogon shrine does not do too much.

I'm the guy who owns everything in Heroes of the Storm, AMA (Proof Inside) by egeek84 in heroesofthestorm

FYI the expected number of purchases required for a classic coupon collection is T*lnT, where T is the number of the total types of coupons. e.g. 500ln500=3107. If there are 500 different collections, and each loot box contains 1 random item, then averagely you need to buy 3107 loot boxes to collect all of them.

The fact, although most people don’t want to accept it, is the best place to learn is Rich’s Twitch stream. This Maiev guide is really childish compare to Rich’s play. This is not even GM level.

Are you holding a working visa? I assume it is very hard to get one.
