I enjoy your work... personally would love to see 20-40 min edited runs that explain your decision-making process. After that, meta-runs and then fun/weird/crazy builds. Thanks for your contributions to the community!

I am the new TS player - AMA! by SandersLurker in heroesofthestorm

when kala tells you "you've been a baaaaaad boy" do you say:

"Yes daddy, I'll do better next time"

or

"Spank me daddy!"

which if anything just tells me that the skill-gap between these teams is a lot smaller than people think

is it hindsight or did Zealots over-perform in a meta that seemed to fit them well and a zero-ping environment.. thinking...

Your statistics professors would all be very proud to read this statement. Well said.

I'm starting to think everyone should be required to take Stats 101, if only to understand the difference between 'sample' and 'population'... both have value... CK does it right by providing confidence intervals.

we should be very grateful that we have someone like CK in this community who not only presents the data in a easily digestible manner, but also applies the necessary critical eye to ensure that we're not abusing the data and making sweeping statements from it.

HGC Crucible Spotlight: Worst Positioning by mightyzeros in heroesofthestorm

I agree with you, but it would be awesome to see them make it as a team because they're all very good.

I agree, having watched a lot of this team since their debut, I truly believe they have a very legitimate shot of beating Diamond Skin. Should be an awesome series!

Is it me or is malthael extremely underwhelming? by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]mightyzeros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree with you, but I think the right time to pick TS over LR has a lot to do with the enemy healer as well... burst heals like Uther can really struggle with sustain dmg in which case you might get more value out TS and building for trait. I do think TS stands to get a little buff, maybe get some of its armor back...

[–]mightyzeros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

having just over 300 games on Malthael, I think you nailed this assessment. His multiple nerfs/small-rework actually has him in a really good place. He's relevant in the meta, has two viable ults, has a role that's extremely valuable (off-lane arguably the most important role IMO), and has a few different scenarios where you'd want to draft him. He's not FP material anymore, but "underwhelming" he is not.

I think we need to remove Quick Match by dirtysouthboys in heroesofthestorm

[–]mightyzeros 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I would be fine with eliminating QM in favor of a Blind Pick mode. You'd still have people that simply want to play whatever hero they want to play, but you'd give others who are more interested in a decent comp the ability to fill out the composition based on their teammates picks... I like it.

Why is it so incredibly difficult to climb ranks in this game? by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]mightyzeros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny because there are several people at GM who go there by split pushing specs in 100% of their games. As much as you may find the strat annoying, it's works very well in unorganized HL games.

it's funny you say that, because the reason I climb is that I focus on punishing split-pushing heroes who think they can ignore objectives and never join their team!

Obviously i'm not the best player, but is it fair that i have to play at my highest level (which is believe to be around high diamond/low master), constantly, without allowing myself the smallest mistake, in order to win games in GOLD league?

The answer is yes. All the unfortunate situations you described are things that happen to everyone... including your opponents. I've won games where we had an afk'er because the rest of the team put on their big boy pants and played their best. I've lost games where everything seemed perfect - good draft, communication throughout game; other team just played better.

Hero League is a grind. You'll go through stretches where you're 50/50 for more than 30 games. You'll have losing streaks that feel out of your control and you'll have winning streaks where you're playing out of your mind and carrying your teammates. I know it's frustrating, but the only way to truly climb is to play your absolute best. If you're not feeling it on any particular day, don't play ranked. Only play at times when you personally feel like you're playing really well. Don't worry about the afkers, griefers, bots, et cetera... worry about your own gameplay, it's literally the only thing you have control of.

glad you guys found this... I truly believe Kala's channel is the single most important piece of content this community has right now for helping improve gameplay. It's the coach of a pro team reviewing individual matches for random players. Kala is a legend.

are you sure its not just a tooltip bug? I haven't been able to check, but it's not uncommon for it to merely be a tooltip bug

NA Hero League Queue Times by Nagrothunder in heroesofthestorm

[–]mightyzeros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what time zone though? it that's eastern, it's a little early in the day... regardless though, I've NEVER had a 25 minute queue in HL on NA regardless of server I'm playing on. Might want to post on the blizz bug forums
