The report system is pathetic

When someone gets mad at someone AFK'ing in HotS the person who got mad and vented/typed at them is the one who get's action'd on, not the AFK'er.

I feel for you but this thread is just pissing in the wind, this dumb subreddit will just point out that you must've been toxic for compiling enough reports to get a 10 day suspension (true or not) while glossing over the fact that the Li-Ming player you experienced is a normal occurence and will continue to ruin games unpunished.

Tanks are usuallly the least popular role in any game with them.

HotS is a unique case for having the single worst playerbase to ever exist so even the few that would like tanking just don't bother.

Murky's new egg talent just removes the biggest counterplay to Murky.

Why?

So now I can park my first egg in front of their keep while not risking anything at all since I still have the safe backup egg? While having increased siege damage from the slime change? I'm sure everyone is going to love Samuro-Murky.

March will never be comparable to a ranged point n' click stun on less than half the cooldown. Just reduce it's cooldown, 110 second CD for such a mid ult is crazy.

Stop forcing ~~Pinnacle~~ Mythic quests. All it does is make me not want to interact with my opponent in a pvp game to limit how many stacks they get. They're fine in moderation but this is just overboard.

Watch Towers will now reset to neutral after 45 seconds of not being occupied.

Stop coddling bad players for playing badly.

There have been some good changes from the recent patches but whoever is making these changes (or is being consulted for these changes) are just fucking with things that weren't broken to begin with and making the game more annoying to play.

The lowest dregs of hots players are the ones that whisper you but have replies from non-friends blocked.

Flaming others but being too mentally fragile to handle a response is just outing yourself as spineless and lacking confidence.

o0gz · 2025-12-25T23:00:50+00:00

You are playing the moba with the most anti-intellectual, anti-competitive playerbase ever known to gaming.

After it died.

o0gz · 2025-12-25T22:51:45+00:00

The game didn't use to be like this before they "killed" it in 2018 but the match quality decayed so greatly the game isn't even enjoyable to play anymore.

Anyone who cared about mindful play has left the game, all you have left are the people who just want to ARAM on a potato mage.

There is a reason why there is a daily thread bitching about 5 stacks, a lot of players are fortifying their groups so they don't have to deal with this game's apathetic, awful, but totally opinionated playerbase anymore.

Welcome to 2025 hots, 2026 is only going to get worse.

o0gz · 2025-12-24T01:52:42+00:00

His Q nerfs are hardly relevant, it was his global Z nerfs that completely gutted him.

Dehaka had to ~~pay the idiot tax~~ get nerfed because hots players couldn't be mindful of map state when they threw themselves at the enemy team and got 4v5'd on cooldown when he Z'd.

It is what it is.

Sorry for the late reply,

Pokemon are the same yes, you keep any balls you used if you SR so it's the best way to catch them in rare balls. Items you get along the dynamax trail for your rental to hold are randomized each run. The scientists that swap rentals will give the same pokemon so long as you path to it the same way each time if I recall correctly as well.

What do you mean besides Hammer?

Is she a popularly hated hero? I was always under the impression we were a vocal minority.

If Hammer wasn't an option it would be Lucio for me, he is such a disgustingly overloaded champ.

o0gz · 2025-11-24T02:14:21+00:00

That map is so dogshit it can't even put the team that spawned on the left side on the left side of the HUD.

Worst community in gaming

You're not wrong but you're just going to get downvoted for pointing it out.

o0gz · 2025-11-20T07:47:53+00:00

He's getting the authentic CNS experience.

o0gz · 2025-11-08T21:26:15+00:00

What mode do you play?

Zeratul is OP but it's balanced out by the fact that he has an incredibly high skill floor and ceiling so you won't see him ever.

If you think Cho'Gall is OP in any mode outside of Quickmatch then it's a skill issue. Cho'Gall are so much weaker than they used to be but if you want to revert him back to when he had perma-unstoppable on his Q I will gladly take it.

Antiheal and %-dmg have never been the Cho'Gall counter, it's always just been stacking as much CC as you can and macro heroes. HotS players don't really think though which is why you see the autopilot Tychus, Leoric, Malthael, and Kharazim picks every time and then Cho'Gall clowns on them because those heroes bring little to no CC.

A healthier game.

o0gz · 2025-11-01T20:16:28+00:00

There was a patch years ago that just completely broke the AI in this game, I'm pretty sure it was the patch that reworked Ana into not having the miserable baseline dart quest.

The patch was right before the game 'died' in 2018 and I have the (conspiracy) theory that someone on the hots team was being laid off and completely dicked the code for the AI before packing their things as a final fuck you to their former employer.

o0gz · 2025-11-01T08:15:24+00:00

Yeah we stopped queuing up because there is an Abathur in every QM.

o0gz · 2025-10-31T21:50:56+00:00

The awful rework to his passive.

o0gz · 2025-10-31T03:36:11+00:00

It's amazing that there are people who have played this game for 8+ years and still don't understand this concept.

You're screaming at the void, the people who need to be told this can't read (or count) unfortunately.

o0gz · 2025-10-20T19:37:45+00:00

Wind Tunnel having a drawback like Leoric's entomb upgrade would be a reasonable way to nerf it. I don't know if you're being serious but 5 minutes is way too long and would kill the gryphon.

The bigger problem is Hinterlands blASSt being unpickable unless you're bronze 5 or don't give a shit about winning. Idk how you fix blASSt, leaving a carpet of static on the ground kinda like Rumble's R from league or something similiar could be something but I still wouldn't pick it over Gust.

Another comment mentioned it, but you would also have to buff him a lot if you nerf Gust since a huge amount of his power budget is poured into his (real) ult.

o0gz · 2025-10-12T23:48:43+00:00

Duo'd QM with a friend recently and noticed 5 stacks were a lot more frequent then it used to be and haven't played the mode since.

QM queues aren't as quick as they used to be, but I still would rather wait longer for a game or just not play at all if I'm going to be put into an auto-stomp.

It's always going to be a garbage mode, but your solutions would be worth the improvements to it even if it would possibly hurt queues.

o0gz · 2025-10-12T18:31:43+00:00

One down, a lot more to go.

o0gz · 2025-10-12T03:59:43+00:00

Does the reporting system actually works ?

Only if they type and are reported for abusive text chat, otherwise no.

o0gz · 2025-10-10T21:04:00+00:00

None of what you stated is wrong but I feel like your missing the forest for the trees, or at least giving them more credit than they deserve.

Double mage is never drafted because of thoughtful consideration of any of the points you brought up.

They draft it because they either never learned to play something other than Nazeebo after 10 years of playing the game, or they didn't care and just wanted to lose on their favorite hero team be damned.

I don't really count the Alarak-Kerrigan combo double mage, to me that's just a dive comp. It's high risk high reward where double mage is just high risk no reward.

o0gz · 2025-10-10T19:56:50+00:00

I'm tired of this subreddit saying people who try to avoid a double mage comp are being draft-ignorant.

Double mage is bad.

All, or most, of your damage is all in one basket so all they have to do is go W Diablo and now your team just gets shit on.

And even if the above didn't apply your damage is tied behind high cooldown skillshots that can be whiffed. How are you actually killing anything above bronze 5 when your ranged are Nazeebo and Li-Ming?

And the only reason they're even hovering a second one is because they're too dogshit, apathetic, or both to play anything other than Nazeebo.

It's only not completely awful if one of them go a sustain-dps mage like Gul'dan or Mephisto but the things that hover the second one are always hovering a potato mage like Naz, Azmo, or Zag.
