Heroes of the Storm - Blizzard MOBA

Artanis is kind of a damage warrior with no reliable escape. Even his dash will send him out and then make him dash right back. His E is a slow-moving projectile that'll do a bit of damage and switch your positions if it hits you, so stay well clear if he's with friends. His ults are both fairly slow, more useful for either hectic team fights or bullying you out of position; one is a deathray that starts creeping after you, but is fairly easy to outrun, the other is a broad circle that pulses for a moment and then FLASH blinds all of the enemies within it.

I don't remember his W at all.

His passive is a shield that pops up when his health gets low.

His W is an immediate twin strike. his next attack happens twice at the same time. A little brust. And kinda spammable, all things considered

Oh, yeah! I kind of like his W, particularly when you build it up with talents. You can make it deal extra damage to heroes or minions (talents in the same level, I think), and you can also make it a triple strike.

It's...BEAUTIFUL.

So, does anyone need Cho'Gall?

That's cold, Leoric.

The more I play, the more I grow to despise HOTS. The endless whining and bitching about everything. And this game is only marginally better than LoL, greatly bemused by our topic here which has a charming "fuck you and obey the Holy Meta" discussion ongoing.

You're not hating the game. You're hating the goddamn community. Which is... well, kind of similar across all other MOBAs. Especially when playing Ranked games. Are you playing Hero League?

Also that is what happens if you post in the official forums. Blizzard forum is kind of like that, the officers rarely even visit there. Then again, you can't blame them, with big fanbase comes gigantic toxic ass shits. If you visit Reddit, from what I observed, they're much more helpful and sane.

You know, this tempts me to re-invent the 'PC Master Race' thing. Except switch it to 'Kindhearted Player Master Race' and 'Whiny Toxic Player Peasants'.

In defense of the Lo L topic, the conversation is less about the meta and more about knowing/learning how the game (and, by extension, the genre) is supposed to work.

Granted, some of the initial wording could be made shit-tons better, but yeah, the conversation has been more about fundamental mechanics than any community decrees.

Oh, wait, so Rotpar was talking about the LOL topic, not the actual Blizzard forum?

D'oh.

Who wants a remix of the Heroes of the Storm theme?

I'd rather put a gun in my mouth than play SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS LEAGUE. The game is already serious fucking business in quick mach.

And since it's a multiplayer game, the players and the game are one in the same—complete and utter shit.

So, when I play, my team is basically down a hero. And when I play Morales, my "main", who contributes nothing to the game, we're now down two. Every game I'm in is 3v5.

Everywhere in MOBA is treated like Serious Business. Suggestion: When you start the game, MUTE EVERYONE. Even your friends. Hopefully that will at least lessen the problem. See, from what I heard, your problems are majorly just these whiny asses. So I think muting everyone is the key.

At least you don't get enemies ALSO ridiculing you when you lose. Which happens all the time in games like Dota, in which 'humiliating your enemies' seems to be treated like the norm. What a stupid norm. (I make it my policy to NOT flaunt things even when you have it, there is no point of being a condescending prick)

So, a bump and.... apparently I had to recruit friends and get them to at least level 10 in order to get that shiny Vulture ride (yes, Warcraft guys riding a Vulture). The problem is...

... Well...

My other friends, I'm not sure if they are HOTS players to bother with that...

Yep, I'm right out. All of my friends who would enjoy Hot S are already playing it, and all of my friends who wouldn't, aren't.

Ah, well.

Oh that's just funny. From what I heard, Blizzard was shocked that in order to get those Vultures, some friendless dudes decided to make Smurf accounts, and then people who actually WANTS to recommend HOTS to friends get those friends stomped by smurfs when they were being genuine and so those new people won't stay long.

I assuma Lunara is going to be released around Christmas right?

And hey, look what Blizzard did to Promote Cho'gall

Huh, so my predictions come true. Lunara is deer-ish. Santa Claus is riding a chariot carried by deers. She's just the perfect Christmas themed thing without going for the overused 'ice theme for Christmas' (last year it was Jaina).

Anyway, it may be old, but... anyone already got Cho'gall? You can get him while playing with just AI you know. If anyone has'em, you guys can help me (though I will try with my other friends). My B-Net Handle is ChrisX#1522

If you're still out of luck when the semester's over, I might be able to help you.

This is embarrassing. I had a friend who had Cho'Gall. So I partied with him for VS AI, and hoping to select Cho'Gall, because he has that. I cannot select any of those two heads. How am I supposed to get Cho'Gall this way? Play as someone else and team up with 2 people that used Cho and Gall?

He just had to select and lock in to a head first.

I really want to play as Cho Gall for once. Anyone on EU wanting to team up?

I can help anyone on the US servers.

ME! ME! ME! (Just use AI games so we don't disturb anyone)
