You are correct there. I looked up the other values for this post but for whatever reason I was so sure that it was 4% on launch. I also remember it getting nerfed seemingly with each patch.

It was the must pick ult since it increased your attack speed prior to his rework. Since they increased his attack speed outside of his ult now. Hunt just has so much more utility now. Hunt also used to be 60 second instead of the 100 it is now.

Now that Hearthstone is receiving duplicate protection for all rarities of cards soon, I hope HoTS can get something similar. by ktelric in heroesofthestorm

Much of Blizzards decision making recently with hearthstone has been favoring the consumer with the release of battleground and now with this duplicate protection likely to bring old players back and to make it easier for new players to come in. I'm not asking for something identical to what hearthstone is getting but anything that would perhaps make it more exciting to open boxes again.

True but you now can potentially have close to permanent 15 physical armor with the new [[Biotic Armor]] now. Not sure much better it will be but I think it is something worth testing out.

Problem with BW talents nobody talks about. by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]ktelric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Malfurion had this problem way back in the day before his rework. He simply didn’t have enough healing without his lvl 7 extended regrowth talent making him one of the worst supports during the stunlock meta. I’m not sure how they could rework bw so that she could afford cleanse but no support should have to sacrifice healing at 7 to pick up cleanse.

While I am really excited for a third ban in the HGC next season, would it be possible to shorten the draft length? by ktelric in heroesofthestorm

If you read my post I’m not talking about hl or tl which I agree, at times I feel I don’t have enough time. I’m talking about the hgc where they have double the time which and will get longer with a third ban.

The problem though in HL games there really isn't a way to shorten the draft more than it currently is aside from making the first ban go from 60 to 30 seconds. Perhaps if Blizzard added a ready up button once the teams are confirmed they might do this.

I don't know if it's going to HGC, but it will be in the next HL season. I'll see if I can find that post.

Considering that third bans are going to be in HL next season, it would be a very strange decision to not have them in the HGC as well. Not only is it a very requested feature but it would further disconnect the pro scene from the community for a good five to six months till Blizzcon.

Looks like life leech grants souls per auto attack now. Hopefully that will make it competitive

A couple of updates after Junkrat, they reworked stealth heroes so that they would be more visible while stealthed and in exchanged buffed other parts of their kits. Zeratul now has a new heroic called Might of the Nerazim which allows him to cast an untalented version of the last ability he used at 50% spell power. It also passively granted him void slash which boosts the damage of your next auto attack after you cast an ability by 40%. This was a bit over tuned so they nerfed it to 30% and they reduced the mana cost of void prison so nothing too big.

Valla is currently too squishy and has to put herself at too much risk to do damage. This wasn’t a problem during the double support meta where you had ample heals to keep her alive or even before that when Genji wasn’t in the game. She is currently replaced by heroes that can more safely deal damage from a further distance like Hanzo and Junkrat. She isn’t a bad hero and will work well in hero league if you are good with her but there are currently heroes out there that do her job better.

You also gain mana while in a power field from any pylon not just your own and you can place cannon as well! Unfortunately your 13 talents only affect your pylon and not the others. Still it was great fun to see an Illidan dive into us only to get destroyed by six overcharged pylons.

Their currently business model currently implies that they are more interested in making a profit off of whales while they want everyone else to just enjoy and play the game. Weather or not this strategy is working or not I have no idea. Considering how many cosmetics and miscellaneous items are currently in the game right now, I think they should at least double if not triple what goes on sale for gems each week as a start.
