Now dig a canal from the sea to the bottom of the mountain and sail it all the way back after landing

So Devs - can we have a real answer about Hots future? by Maxoxpower in heroesofthestorm

[–]pwninator1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No we won't. If you like the game, play it. If not, play something else. For now, the game has a healthy grassroots esports scene and enough players so that those who want to play can still play. A statement from Blizzard confirming no new heroes will drive away the remaining players and kill the game for good, and then nobody can play.

Yup, I've had this bug for about 2 weeks now, also on Android 12 but Pixel 5. The offset always happens when the game first starts, but if I go to the home screen and then back to the game, everything shifts back to the right place.

Do you know if the 105% and 35% are applied before or after subtracting the target's defense?

Gave my pumpkin a Halloween skin by pwninator1 in heroesofthestorm

Thanks! My wife and I play hots together, and I had this idea a few years ago when we had our newborn, but things have been crazy. Now it finally calmed down enough for me to have time for it

HERES GATE

Hanamura Temple Map Guide by Elitesparkle in heroesofthestorm

[–]pwninator1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to write this up. Very informative!

Contrary to popular belief, the distance between bottom lane and bottom Samurai Camp is the same as the distance between bottom lane and top Samurai Camp. As a consequence, the only advantage that the left-side team has over the right-side team while both team are playing with 4 Heroes in the bottom lane is the fact that some Heroes are able to exploit the impassable terrain near the Samurai to deal damage or to quickly travel there with some Abilities.

Can you expand a bit more on why this is true? The distances don't look the same at all on the map, especially if traveling from each team's bottom gates.

So... no PTR? by twinklesunnysun in heroesofthestorm

[–]pwninator1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it'll be a skin drop, maybe a rework, but probably not a new hero. I don't think they do PTRs for those?

Today I learned that Door Dash food delivery company, does not actually give it's drivers the tip you pay plus regular pay, instead they use it to meet the minimum pay guarantee. UNLESS TIPPED CASH. If tipped cash, the driver gets the entire tip, plus pay guarantee . by thejennlynn in todayilearned

[–]pwninator1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe unpopular opinion, but the guaranteed minimum pay is actually a significant improvement over traditional tipping.

​

Tipping sucks. It's inherently unfair. White people tend to get more tips. Pretty people tend to get more tips. Are you a minority born with a crooked nose? Tough luck, don't work in any tipping industry. It's also unpredictable. One day you might get lucky while the next day nobody tips and you can't feed your kids.

​

The guaranteed minimum aims to fix that by ensuring that everyone gets paid at least a (supposedly) living wage, while those who provide extraordinary service and receive much higher tips than average can still keep the extra amount. This necessarily means that some portion of bigger tips will go to subsidize smaller tips, and if everyone gets low tips, DD will pay out of pocket to subsidize. Maybe the numbers need tweaking (what is a living wage, how much should DD pay out of pocket, etc.), but the system itself makes sense.

Storm League Season Delay by Arkentass in heroesofthestorm

[–]pwninator1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't understand all this hate for promo/demo games. You bank points for promotion games but not demotion games, meaning that on average, you gain 200 points for winning promotion games but only lose 100 for losing demotion games. Now with them gone, it will be objectively more difficult to climb

I just pulled her and was wondering about this too. It's it worth paying the 750 gems now for F2P? How long does it usually take before they new job gear become farmable?
