Oh so like everyone else in game? 😂
We need a pit lord. Mannoroth or Magtheridon pls
Even if you're getting stomped, get your slime stacks asap and get to 13 so you can cc into death everyone.
That match had 2 afks, one of them took our first dragon and didn't use it (he stopped 5 meters from the shrine and lasted 90 seconds until they decided to kill him) and I still won.

Yup, the late game carry is real. People also blow a lot of cooldowns on you. I had a Nova triple tap me today.
Would agree with you two. The late game carry for Murk is real. He needs that nerf bad.
I have lost a few Murky games, but they are always because either (A) the enemy snowballs the game so quickly I can't get to late game or (B) my team refuses to team fight by getting picked constantly, robbing me of the ability to wreak havoc in the middle of engagements.

haven't posted in this thread in awhile (because overwatch), but I remember way back I said something like "they will probably put Lucio in as the next overwatch character" and they did....I PREDICTED THE FUTURE.

He's not OP like some heroes have been, but he's likely to see some nerfs I'd say. He's pretty strong right now.

interesting, i need to get back into this game and try him.
lol @ Cho gall being in the "LUL" tier

He put Medievh in tier 1 because he's so annoying to play against, which is the same reason he put Murky there
(and because Murky is broken right now)
Yeah if you don't get into teamfights it can be challenging depending on what you're up against. I had an annoying game where my team just refused to group up for fights and the enemy Nova would just global me from stealth again and again.
Luckily we did get a few good engagements late in the game and I was able to do what Murky does so we just scraped by. Then on the opposite end of the scale was a game where we had a pretty good Malf and my team actually responded to objectives and engages. Felt like a murloc god, especially since you're already kind of hard to kill with fish tank and then one Malf heal puts you back at full health. Absolutely stomped the other team.
Thinking about getting Valeera, played her for a bit in try mode today and I really like how she feels.
I'm part of the problem.
yeah that's fair to me, like i dont even know if murky is any good, I played two ptr games against and noped out
i think w/ medivh I've been lucky enough not to really run into any good ones, whereas murky just needs to murk around and he slimes ur whole game
So Milly and I played with one of our OW friends who is new to HOTS and it's rough for him starting out trying to play at diamond level because he doesn't understand the intricacies of the game yet like what the objectives are, what heroes do what, etc etc. Anyway, after Milly logged I remembered I had a smurf I'd made for the recruit a friend thing that didn't have any MMR and I'd be able to play with him on a level playing field (for him anyway) to make it more fun for him.
We played one game. I used gold to buy Valeera and had him play KT so we could stun lock people. I went 12/19/1 (the Core killed me at the end =/), lol. I should feel bad for preying on the weak like that, but damn if it wasn't fun abusing Valeera in all her glory. I was actually surprised, they had an account level 7 Gul'dan who knew to reveal me with his Q.
I probably ruined some dude's night but we had fun. Was a lot more enjoyable for him because no one knew WTF they were doing or to lane or what merc camps were or really anything and he didn't feel stressed to figure it out.

I played a game on a smurf account and felt bad. It was so one sided that I felt like a jerk.
I have four accounts I play off and on so I've been through it a few times. Usually only takes about 5 games before the matchmaker puts you up more or less where you belong.
I don't really know what the "good" solution is to the problem we are having/had, though.
If you've a friend who wants to play the game with you, you are forced to either give them a bad experience learning at your MMR level if you have decent MMR...or go down to their level and possibly have a significant advantage over your opponent. I mean, in the micro sense, it's great for us because he can contribute better, we are more likely to win, etc. Basically all of the good things. On the macro level, though, it can be very problematic if behavior like that was widespread.

Glad I was in the first one you did then. Was fun blowing up that Chromie whenever Qruul managed to swap her in. I'm sure that person changed their avatar and swore her off for a while after that game.
Honestly, we should do Unranked more often. Watching HGC prepped me more than I thought it would around map picks and bans.
When I started playing with you guys it was the same rough time for me. The thing is that I had game knowledge but my mechanics were rusty or barely usable.
I had a similar experience with a RL buddy who tried the game. Went like 43/0 with illidan and Sonya a couple times, but after the mmrcaught up he kept getting bodied quit and never played again

How is it possible I'm having most fun in QM.
That's tea

Qm is pretty fun to me cuz not having a support is pretty common and that makes the game more twitchy and decisions/mechanics more important. I get that it's an abomination tho

Also y'all know it's spelled Wiener, as in from Wien. The city where we call the sausages Frankfurter funnily enough.
It might be that you can't blame anyone for the shit that happens because it's QM.
Trust me you can lol
