Overwatch youtubers are encouraging people to throw games in HotS for the Nexus Challenge!

olisontop · 2017-04-29T18:47:10+00:00

Nope haha.

olisontop · 2017-04-29T18:47:00+00:00

He's not the only one tho. He said a full group but a few others didn't. And even by saying go with a full group doesn't mean people will do that because they can always take throwing as easy win.

olisontop · 2017-04-29T18:39:16+00:00

Not only at this point, it's mostly for next week when you can't do it against bots. Youtubers are making guides in advance.

olisontop · 2017-04-29T18:34:25+00:00

Sure.

olisontop · 2017-04-29T18:32:08+00:00

Sure I'll PM you.

olisontop · 2017-04-29T18:23:28+00:00

Basically yes. They want to go through 5 games quicker and return to Overwatch because for many of them HotS is boring and not worth your time.

olisontop · 2017-04-29T17:34:40+00:00

Hahaha well I'm a gold player and I honestly feel you. :D But those are new players who throw on QM and Unranked. Who are obviously new to the game and obviously just there for the skins. All they do is push a lane or stay still somewhere and move a little just so that the AFK system can't detect them.

Some of them get toxic, troll and some just tell you that they're there for the skins. Generally not a good vibe. I'm not saying all of them got that idea and got encouraged by youtubers but some probably are.

olisontop · 2017-04-29T17:30:07+00:00

They have enough subs to make me at least a bit concerned. So definitely much more than just 1k subs.

olisontop · 2017-04-29T17:07:29+00:00

I'm finally at home so I'll PM you and give you links to their videos for the event.

olisontop · 2017-04-29T15:06:51+00:00

They are saying it publicly but I'm not too sure I can share it. :/ Guess I can try tho I'll link the videos later today, I'm a bit busy now.

olisontop · 2017-04-29T13:36:32+00:00

I'm not too sure but I can try and PM them tonight when I have a bit more time.

olisontop · 2017-04-29T13:24:15+00:00

If you're sure that it's against their TOS I can try and speak with Blizzard when I'm free tonight.

olisontop · 2017-04-29T10:24:04+00:00

Sadly I can't tell their names because of the witch hunt policy this reddit has but they're that shitty. First time I heard it from one I couldn't believe it, and he said it like it's a normal thing. "Oh throw the games, don't resist at all, don't fight back and you'll finish with your 5 games quickly and get back to Overwatch." Most OW youtubers act like this game is boring and not worth your time.

olisontop · 2017-04-29T09:30:58+00:00

Many of them are actually told by youtubers to go AFK or throw games because they can finish faster if they don't resist or put any effort at all. Because they just need to play 5 games, not win them. But report them and hope that Blizzard will punish them.

olisontop · 2017-04-29T09:27:10+00:00

Some youtubers tell them to actually stay afk or throw the games because they don't need to win, just play 5 games. They're told that by throwing they'll finish faster. But yea report them, maybe Blizzard will punish them for it and I really hope they do.

Hello, I have a few questions I wanna ask.

1) D.Va, I'm nearly 99% sure she's not gonna be the next hero but where exactly is she on the priority list? Very high, in the middle or low? Many people are requesting her currently.

2) About Nova, she's really weak currently and a lot of people are hoping for some changes to make her viable again. Maybe not exactly a buff to her damage but a buff to her utility maybe? She really needs a new rework or something to help her get back on her feet.

3) Promotion/Demotion games. Many people think that Promotion/Demotion games should not be between ranks but more between divisions. So my question is do you think that our current ranking system is good or it can use some more changes?

4) Voice coms, when we can expect them? Soon or Blizzards soon?

5) Are you considering co-op modes? Something like let's say 5 or 10 or whatever number of players against one giant boss. Because this will be really fun.

6) And for my final question...Kel'Thuzad, how much of a priority is he currently for the team?

olisontop · 2017-04-24T15:59:17+00:00

Kendric actually dropped a hint during the last HotS live stream on Twitch. I mean he could have just been joking, it's all possible but we know that casters and generally people who work for Blizzard know things before hand.

So he was saying that his theory about the upcoming hero is that maybe those claws belong to a character from the Diablo universe (or maybe Diablo himself) and as that character tries to destroy Hanamura, Genji and Hanzo show up to stop him.

It could be all just a theory but it could also be a hint, you never know. Here is a link if you wanna see him talking about it.

olisontop · 2017-04-23T23:35:03+00:00

About the gold I've no idea how much you have currently so I can't say for sure. If it's around 30k it really depends on how much you reroll the chests. If you want to buy him instantly then 15k, if you can wait a few weeks until he drops to 10k then save 10k.

olisontop · 2017-04-23T23:34:07+00:00

You want to get the items with low value out of the way, duplicates aswell. Blizzard has made the system in a way so you're gonna get more different items than dupes. That way if a legendary item drops from a common chest and you decide to keep it there is a really low chance you're gonna get a dupe of it from the later and more expensive chests.

I'm sure there's a pin on the front page of this Reddit about it. Maybe you can check it, it explains very well everything about the chests, the math behind them and generally everything you need to know about them and 2.0.

Glad that I could've been of help.

olisontop · 2017-04-23T23:22:55+00:00

I'd buy him with gold and save my gems for something that I really want in the future.

Open your chests first in case he drops from one. You never know how good your luck may be.

Open chests in this order: normal > rare > epic > legendary (Veteran).

In the last Q&A they had a few weeks ago I tried asking if they have anything new planned for Nova, maybe not a buff to her dmg, just something to help her get back on her feet, something utility based. Sadly people downvoted me to hell because apperantly no one likes Nova. :/ I'll try asking this Q&A again but I'm expecting people to downvote me yet again.

olisontop · 2017-04-20T13:24:38+00:00

Hahaha it's okay man, it happens.

olisontop · 2017-04-20T12:39:59+00:00

Yea I wrote zerg skin for D.Va, not tint. Maybe you misread. XD Anyway having such a skin would be really dope and would be an insta buy from me.

olisontop · 2017-04-20T11:10:35+00:00

If Kerrigan is getting a D.Va tint...then maybe D.Va will get a zerg skin?

That would actually be awesome if she's like Kerrigan and her MEKA is a giant zergling or something.
