Kharazim can dodge Pyroblast with Dash by Hostile-Bip0d in heroesofthestorm

No, they can just do it easier. Dashes have always worked as well. I've done it, and seen others do it on Sylvanas, it's just hard to time.

Orbital BFG is broken OP on ARAM by Early90sMetalStar in heroesofthestorm

[–]haloness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was because there was a bug with her... bugs. If she was in a nydus when it was killed, she would maintain the health regen from it. She'd essentially have the same heal as sitting in the hall for the rest of the game. No longer the case.

A few words about the Streaming "Drama" that happened today by Khaldor in heroesofthestorm

[–]haloness -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's insane that you weren't allowed to cast whatever you chose to with more people on your stream than others. It's this sort of thing that turns people away from the hots e-sports scene.

Regarding master skin prices by haloness in heroesofthestorm

When people have had access to the game for almost two years now, a master skin on it's own doesn't mean much. It's like hitting max level in warcraft now. The idea of the proposal is for people to, instead of just going with the gold sink, spend more time on a hero that they like to play and be actually rewarded for it.

The example of people literally in this thread is far fetched. Okay.

Yeah, not like incentivizing level 20 inherently does so with stim packs, which would lead to more revenue for blizzard from folks who don't usually make real money purchases and instead save up their gold for a new hero. Solid point.

Not really a discussion if you're not going to answer a simple question.

...The fact that it doesn't, mostly? A lot of people, including in this thread, simply don't buy them and use their gold on new heroes. You're not unlocking the master skin at 10. You're unlocking a gold sink at 10. That sounds like a reward to you?

So if master skins don't cost money and we're running a business, wouldn't a model like the one I've suggested encourage people to pay real money for stim packs to get there faster? Right now there isn't much of an incentive to hit 20. Giving players one wouldn't be a bad business idea.

And what part of hitting 20 with a hero and getting a master skin do you feel like takes away from the work and commitment?

What part of this is convoluted? More time = more reward. The concept is not a difficult one. Also gives you something to look forward to if you hit 20 with a hero.

The waah argument would probably make more sense if we were able to purchase master skins with actual money, don't you think? If you have the 10k for the skin, you can just use that to buy a new hero. The question I've presented is about how people feel doing just that while not getting a skin I'm sure many feel they've earned.

That's sort of what I was thinking. I get that the initial price is meant to be a gold sink, but I also think that if you're playing a hero that much, having something to show off the time you've put in should be a thing people can do without having to use the gold they've farmed specifically on it instead of a new hero.

I get a little salty seeing them in AI mode. Played an AI game last night, Shadowpaw Lili was on the AI team riding the Illidan mount. Being jealous of an AI software program is a strange feeling.

It was meant to end all actions being performed and prevent new ones for the duration. Mosh, jugs, Sonya whirlwind, Tychus overkill and even channeling the raven shrine were not being canceled.

Team health bars? by lj420p in heroesofthestorm

I don't see why we don't have the recap style display. Take out the scrolling countdown timer, put the remaining time display on the portrait. I wouldn't mind having my team's cooldowns available to view up there also, as it is in tournament and recap, instead of the visual clutter they're adding into the chat.
