Watching kio play hammer tho

Queue benny hill music

 

[Kioshen]

I was tilted beyond belief during that new map. I nearly alt-f4 out of it.

 

[Milly79]

I think someone could've farted in your direction and you would've blown up that game 😂

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

I love garrosh, mvp of 2017 for me
Did they end up nerfing him? I stopped playing around ana patch

first got buffed then a couple rounds of nerfs.

 

[Milly79]

Scoobs I asked grubby what kind of hair product he uses for you

 

[brian!]

That ult upgrade definitely needed to be nerfed to the ground, im assuming that happened.

Actually he's tied w/ stukov for me, both are incredibly fun to play. I never ended up buying lucio but he looks really fun too

 

[Kioshen]

Pretty much yeah. I stopped talking after a while because I'm pretty sure I wasn't being pleasant.

They removed the CDR from the upgrade just recenty, ana balance patch, but not the increased duration that's the actual issue with the talent.

thanks fam

 

[brian!]

At least they did something, both of the upgrades were really strong

 

[scoobs]

which hero are we talking about?

 

[Milly79]

I think he said it was KappaPride scoobs

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

which hero are we talking about?

Garrosh, taunt needs nerf SMOrc

 

[scoobs]

Garrosh, taunt needs nerf SMOrc

Oh ok, thats why i was confused... you said they removed the CDR, which they didn't. They removed the extra .5 seconds of the taunt from his level 20. If the person dies in the taunt it still reduces the cooldown to 5 seconds.

you're right, I even looked up the patch to check which one it was brainfart.

 

[scoobs]

I feel like its my duty to make sure y'all are aware that HORSEPANTS is currently streaming dressed up as a bee.

 

[brian!]

Oh yeah i mean regardless both of the upgrades were hella strong, it's good that they removed one

Tho they prob shoulda removed the cdr, lvl 20 you are gonna be getting kills with each taunt

 

[Alur]

This thread is bumpin' the last week or two with actual discussion and debate. Thanks Samuro and GFE.

I'll die on the hill chromie stands on, I mean I won't because no one will reach us through her time traps.

Too true mate.

They should just delete the game. At some point every hero pisses me off.

Same.

 

[WonderRade]

Remove list:

Garden of terror
Blackheart's Bay
Haunted Mines

I find myself getting more frustrated on these maps more than any hero. Anytime there isnt a clear focused objective people fall apart and have no nuance.

I mean I cant argue a nova deletion when i start a map and say they have a nova, careful to not be alone! and people will still walk to the other side of the map by themselves, die and complain about nova

 

[brian!]

Just delete those players

 

[Rhaknar]

so its been like this since yesterday, any idea? I can still play (well at least I could boot it up and check the store for the halloween skins) but its still annoying.

I have exactly the same issue. Game works fine, but that annoying bar won’t go!

 

[Milly79]

Game is ruined. Close it down.

 

[WonderRade]

same issue

Where the EU beta bnet group at

 

[Skab]

I don't understand the logic behind Valeera

 

[brian!]

She sneaks around and ccs ppl, sometimes she can do dmg, sometimes ppl really want to kill her but she goes invis and they are down cds

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

I don't understand the logic behind Valeera

easy, people will quit the game if Valeera is good so let's make her bad.

 

[Rhaknar]

Valeera was nerfed?

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Hard

Developer Comment: In an effort to reduce the frustration of playing against Valeera, we're reducing her burst damage potential. Especially in Quick Match when counter picking isn't an option, the ability for a stealth assassin with disabling effects and high burst damage isn't fun or healthy for the game, so we're toning it down some.

love how they specifically mention doing it for QM and because it's frutstrating.

People were running varian valeera duos and it was the most cancer shit ever.

 

[Rhaknar]

I can't say I'm upset, for me personally she's by far the worst (as in the most annoying) of the stealth heroes.

I'm fine with being picked off my a Nova or Zera if I'm low, but Valeera always seems to be able to do it even if you aren't low!

Also unlike the other 2 she stuns which is always fun...

KTZ + Valeera was likely the biggest issue.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

for clarity these patch notes are from april, valeera got a slight buff a big nerf and then never was touched again aside from bug fixes.

 

[brian!]

She was on the cusp of being viable for pro play too at the time

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Psalm bodied NA peeps with her, that's when I became a fan.

 

[WonderRade]

I used to like psalm, but he got too salty for me, and I know its HL but still like he would barrel forward and immediately blame his team.

KURE is the best NA streamer

 

[Orochinagis]

I don't understand the logic behind Valeera

Valeera is Warcraft rogue class transitioned into HotS, rogues are super annoying because those guys always sneak up into low level areas to kill people and run away with their stealth mechanic even if they are hit some rogues trolls low level people via stunning animation which could last A LOT and you dont have any mean to break it until someone hits you.

So yes lets put one of those jerks on HoTS what could go possibly go wrong

 

[WonderRade]

she was super cool to watch whenever pros broke her out in competitive though

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

to be fair he went from a 80% winrate to losing 3000+ points in master but yeah he gets quite salty.

 

[Alur]

Surprised you like him if he's salty no matter the reason.

 

[scoobs]

Real talk.. bambam is the best HOTS streamer. Entertaining and actually good. Also he plays Moana songs on the reg, which I can dig

 

[Kioshen]

I have PTSD from Moana songs now. My little girl asks for them all the time. ALL. THE. TIME.

Make way, make way Moana it's time you knew the village of Motunui is all you need.

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

That movie was real mediocre

 

[Alur]

Seconded. It was okay. My wife was super excited for it but wasn't too keen on it after either.

 

[Maledict]

I thought it was one of the best things they’ve done in years. Utterly beautiful, and it actually went against the tropes of the genre in ways I didn’t expect.

 

[scoobs]

Is this now a Moana thread? I'm ok with it.

Loved the movie. Best music Disney has put out in years, and a cute story with memorable characters.
