Really wish there was a report bad behavior option. Just played with an absolutely horrible Raynor that yelled at the rest of the whole time and then quit playing and stayed in base for half the game. Didn't afk so we'd get a more competent AI, just ran around doing nothing. So infuriating.

Just report it as harassment after the game. Click the gear, go to report, etc etc. They are banning/suspending people for it, so it's worth the effort if it really gets to you.

is it me or is xp in HL lower than QM? I feel like if I want to level a hero its much better through QM, even if I lose

It's just you. End of game Xp is literally the Xp your team gains during the game. This is before all bonus xp of course like playing with friends or stimpacks. The only way HL will give less is if the game ends with lower levels or if you're always losing and not getting the 50k win bonus

EXP in all modes is the same based on how long the game goes, etc. You get bonuses in QM or HL for winning, and of course every mode gets friend bonus or stimpack bonus, but aside from the winning bonus it's the same all around.

Probably just having shorter HL games. While it's not perfect by any means, I do find that people don't goof around in HL as much when they have a clear chance to end the game like you see so often in QM.

EDIT: Damn Tempo Storm looking like dog shit today.

All solo?

2 or 3 with a much higher friend right at the start (literally my first games), then I havent seen him lately since then, rest all solo yeah, why?

btw you know you have improved when extra buttons dont bother you anymore (and with uther im usually using 6 to even 8 buttons lol)

edit: 25ish games to go on Zeebo for my skin... kill me now (that came out wrong, I love him but looking at exactly how much xp you need is depressing lol)

Been doing the same on my own time when no one else is around, just curious. Definitely a different experience. Think I'm 6 or 7 games over .500.

The Blaze apparently just blew up TS in Winner's Semis G1 of KOTS.

They sure did. Looking eerily reminscent of C9 after TS retook the crown a while back...except at least C9 beat the teams they should before they tilted.

Yeah, I feel like solo queue can be pretty rough. It's hard not to go into every match thinking it's a coin flip.

Then again, this past week pushed me up to rank 16 and 12 games above .500 now after ping-ponging in the 20s for the longest time.

Some buddies I normally play with randomly decided to play Chen and Thrall all day everyday in Hero League. So now I always play Uther to ult Thrall because how else does he live.

Help me.

But Uther is amazing

He is! I wont deny that. Highest Win Rate for me.

But the game is so much harder when you have to play around a Chen and a Thrall constantly, instead of a Muradin and AnyRangedAssassin. Or Butcher even, if you have to go melee.

I've been playing this for about a month now constantly, and before that had been playing LoL since like, January, and I think in my whole time playing this I've seen more toxicity than I ever did in my whole six months playing LoL.

Generally I play with a team of 4 or 5 friends but when I soloqueue or we have an extra person with our lobby, they're always toxic. Surely with the amount of money Blizzard makes they can get someone to moderate player behaviour similar to LoL's system, and reward people who see games through or don't blame their team for their own mistakes.

So nice to see the reigning kings of the storm (TS) get knocked down a peg, they just released a bunch of VODs with comms, I wonder if they'd do the same for when they lose ;)

Wow, after their loss to Complexity .. TS just forfeit their first match in the losers bracket by no-showing. Implosion Storm much?

Oh, and now they show up 1 second before the 10 minute DQ timer expired and they are going to play down 0-1? Sheesh.

This is entertainment bois.

Plz let our other melee lord and savior Glaurung have his vengeance.

EDIT: Wait so TS only lost earlier because the time got moved up and they weren't there?

EDIT: Nevermind.
 
Came back after the TS drama. I really thought they were going to lose a Dragon Knight match which never happens.

People are hyped about that bait, but they have had 3-4 good one's both this and during the Town Hall Invitational. I like that they are doing experimentitive things on the maps as much as I like some of the newer strong teams bringing back old specs and metas.

Bad Blood.

And TS has been tilting a bit.

is bad blood c9 vortex? did vortex quit C9 and then change their name to bad blood? lol. I would have went with "HotS Drama" instead, but i like it anyway.

so is it rawrjar still on complexity? was bad blood in this tournament?

One cool thing about leveling for master skins is you're not that fussed about losses. You're there primarily for the xp anyway. I mean I don't try to throw games, but I'm not too fussed if I lose or am in a bad game, I'll still get my 200k-ish xp

Bad Blood is indeed C9V, but they've been changing their name around. Mac said they based it off the Taylor Swift song, and they even asked if it had to do with "more" (C9 dropping V), and he said no.

No, C9 Vortex is no more. Bobbyhankhill (the shotcaller) and Tazza didn't come with. It's 3 new people counting McIntyre.

Didn't see him earlier (Rawrjar) and yeah Bad Blood was in. Must've lost earlier today.

Those 2 were in the Town Hall Invitational, were they not? Swear they were.

Nope. Remember Turdburger was asking someone to ask Mc about it yesterday. And I did, and he said he didn't have anything to do with it and that the guys they had now were good. That's about it.

EDIT: Wait that was Kings. They were there for THI.
 
Good ol' Nazeebo is still fun despite the nerf/talent changes.

I miss using Ravenous Spirit. Although when If irst played in Alpha Gargantuan was my go to.

Did c9 vortex get let go by Cloud 9? Why did that happen?

It was mutual apparently. Some said owner wanted one team, others said the players wanted to not be the red-headed step child and have all their promising players taken away every few months so they could compete on the same level as the main team.
