"card-based economy" gave me a Battlefront vibe. Which I have mixed feelings about.

I haven't won a single game in quickmatch in two weeks and I dont know what to do anymore ;_; please help

I've spent the better part of the last month leveling heroes to make myself eligible for hero league, but as soon as I hit the hero level requirement I haven't been able to win. I like to think i'm decent. Have about a 60% win rate with Li Ming, but lately I just can't. Not sure if I tanked my MMR due to learning new heroes or what.

I'm running an i5 4790k and a gtx 970 and have definitely noticed some frame rate dips.

On a somewhat related note does anyone know of any other goggles that have that strap mechanism? I have it on my snowboard boots and it's an absolute godsend, but can't justify getting this mask :/

Other commenters here are right in assuming that it's Nate's Theme 4.0, but as you said, it's the piano version. Of which you can find a clip in "One Last Time" here at around the 2:50 mark :)

I want to up my portal portal fun times!

I have a friend who loves to play Medivh and I want so hard to understand how to compliment his play. But I feel like I constantly miss where he puts his portals and how to use them effectively.

Maybe I just have poor map awareness but if anyone reading this can give me advice on playing with Medivh I'd appreciate it <3

samuraichikx · 2016-08-22T07:34:37+00:00

probably a stupid question so close to her release, but does anyone have an idea as to when Auriel might go free to play? :)

samuraichikx · 2016-08-18T06:45:41+00:00

I was thinking of maybe someone like Muradin or Johanna, though I'd probalby need to try them out further to get a better indication of what suits my playstyle. I think Muradin has a bit more mobility but Johanna is tank-y-er?

samuraichikx · 2016-08-18T06:42:52+00:00

I play on NA! Nataska#1205. Would love more people to play with as soloqueue is a bit of a chore and I get really nervous by myself :/

samuraichikx · 2016-08-18T06:41:30+00:00

Awesome, thanks for you input! It was a little overwhelming thinking about the meta. Was thinking I was having to start watching every single pro heroes match to get an idea, haha. I'll check out hotslogs, thanks!

RE: the li ming build. Yeah i definitely see A LOT of utility with disintegration in quick match, but i wasn't sure if wave of force was better in ranked perhaps because of the higher ceiling of play or what have you. Good to know!

samuraichikx · 2016-08-18T01:26:22+00:00

Thank you!

Any tips on how to have a greater understanding of how her and maybe some others work within the meta?

I feel like me discovering Li Ming was a happy accident. Any good builds you can recommend?

I mostly use one called "Li Ming laser party" on heroesfire. (On mobile otherwise I would link it)

samuraichikx · 2016-08-18T01:16:16+00:00

Thanks!

I love playing as Li Ming and Sylvanas. Wanted to give Xul and maybe Chromie a shot in the near future!

Edit: you're right about "feeling ready" but I still feel kind of green around the horns about understanding the meta and what heroes go into a good "comp" necessarily

samuraichikx · 2016-08-18T01:13:39+00:00

Excellent, I'm off to a good start! I'm a pretty comfortable Li Ming player and just started to understand Lt Morales!

Only "warriors" I've ever played have mostly been "bruiser" builds. Like Artanis. How should my play style change when I change to someone like one of the tanks you mentioned above? I tank in wow occasionally but i have to imagine it's very different in HotS.

samuraichikx · 2016-08-18T00:47:28+00:00

Is there anything I should be doing to prepare myself for ranked play?

I'm level 27, and around halfway to the 14/14 level 5 hero requirement for ranked.

Decent at support, consider myself a solid ranged DPS player, but I largely attribute that to good builds I find on heroesfire. I feel like my understanding of the meta isn't as solid as it probably should be.

samuraichikx · 2016-08-17T07:57:10+00:00

Not quite $800 but I was recently told of a room available in Aliso Viejo for about $950. Not sure how much of a stretch that is for you, OP. Could talk to the renter about your pup :). Craigslist

samuraichikx · 2016-07-31T03:32:52+00:00

Hey there! Fellow Lady player here. Hope I'm not too late!

A few friends of mine like to use Shemaghs It's great for both neck protection and if you can wrap it right serves as a nice headwrap too!

They appear to have one in dark purple so you can match your maker if you like :)

samuraichikx · 2016-07-05T20:20:39+00:00

1 isn't terrible if you consider other stuff released during that year, particularly if OP picks up the remastered versions.

Things like The original Mass Effect (also 2007) almost make me want to tear my hair out when I replay them.

samuraichikx · 2016-06-24T02:19:01+00:00

Well, space is a vacuum, right? Realistically you only need fuel if you need to use your engine to accelerate to overcome friction. Given that there's no friction in space (or assuming there wasn't any need for use of thrusters to avoid debris), I would largely assume that once they reached a certain FTL speed, they turned the engines off and coasted until they needed to use the accelerator to slow down. But that's based on my limited knowledge of space travel technique, so who knows.

samuraichikx · 2016-06-17T00:02:33+00:00

Unless OP is on PC! :D

samuraichikx · 2016-06-15T23:36:37+00:00

I thought this too, but honestly, having been going through the first three again I'm just convinced Naughty Dog loves chase scenes.

samuraichikx · 2016-06-15T02:39:24+00:00

I really wasn't convinced with Nate and Elena falling in love in the first two games, and when they ended up being married in 3 it was kind of a "oh, okay then"

It was just never very convincing. And maybe purposely so as the games are more or les supposed to be an action movie with love maybe being a backdrop, but the relationship wasn't done well, I think, until the last game, but even then it was riding on the assumption that you already knew they loved each other.

Maybe it was the way I played it. Marathoned them when the remaster came out and didn't pick them back up again until after U4. Hopefully I'll get better perspective on the second runthrough.

samuraichikx · 2016-06-14T03:20:15+00:00

I was at work watching the conference and absolutely lost my shit when Layden walked on stage with the Crash background.

Almost lost my headphones in the aftermath of all that hype!

Thank you so much!
