As someone who is relatively new, who is a good streamer to watch for strats and good plays? The OP has some good guides, but curious to see some video breakdowns too. If it helps, I currently play Diablo and Zeebo, and need to round out my experience with other types of heroes. What are 5 good core heroes to learn?

Curious that the spreading abilities didn't go past fog of war before. I had assumed they had. Slight buff for Sylvanas pushing forts, eh?

It's similar to the analytical movement in sports: You want to emphasize the things that consistently lead to winning. Something like OBP in baseball or maximizing expected goals in soccer or hockey are always a good thing. If they've identified things per each map or character that are done by the best players, that'll make the MMR more accurate in less time, regardless of team comp. Weighting Wins vs in-game skill will be important, though, and it does sound like they are still making winning the priority. That which is measured, improves.

Spudd posted:We haven't done this for awhile but I'd like it if another Tauren was added. They're just really cool. Could go with either Cairne or Hulm (Holm? Hilm?... Helm?) Highmountain. Although I'm pretty sure all Tauren's would be warriors. Maybe a Tauren priest but there are no named ones. When Cairne dies, Baine pops up in his place, enraged. Magatha could show up later as well.

https://www.twitch.tv/blizzheroes Enjoying Nexus Games Europe, but it's strange that the players themselves are rarely featured by name or picture. Anyone know why? Further to this, the commentators say various countries are favored, but I have no idea why. I wish there was some context, like FIFA rankings or something.

Finally got the 14 character requirement for Hero League. Two games, both games got to watch two teammates stand around and argue while mid-lane.  A teammate's last-pick Hammer against a Stitches, Kael'thas, Brightwing, and Graymane was the highlight though.

I'll ask the noob question, as I'm new. What's an ideal statline for Malth? Is it the lack of siege damage? Perhaps Blizzard should expand upon this as well in that graphic, even if it was just one little tip similar to "You did less damage than other players (last 30 days)"

I hadn't gotten a chance to do placements due to moving. Lucky me: they are resetting again and disabling the performance-based rating for now. https://twitter.com/BlizzHeroes/status/941918410186809344 (As a software developer, I can only imagine they are having the longest week of their career, especially with it resulting in a full scale rollback)

Elysium posted:So did they update something that made my FPS go from ~100 fps to 40 in the last few days? I've been absolutely wondering the same thing, and apparently my friends with 1070s+ are even hitting the issue. I've had to shrink my resolution down to get it to stop most of the times, and even then it goes crunchy during team fights and/or Infernal Shrines. I'm chalking it up to the new camera.

I don't know what came of it, but this and screen-tearing and performance issues have happened to a lot of people since the last patch. I chalked this up to not playing for a week, but yeah, escaping with Sylvanas has been failed 1/4 times lately. So what exactly did they do?

Idea for Blizzard's personal rating given my experiences with HL: "Is someone calling teammates a retard? Congrats, you gonna lose this game." Maybe the machine learning can take into account how much the player chatted during their matches and sentiment analysis on their chat logs. I bet it would be more predictive than the efficiency of using cooldowns.

BrianBoitano posted:I've gotten lots more RAM usage since Hanzo. I have to use Discord on a separate laptop now, and even still it maxes out when it never did before. Frustrating. I thought it had been fixed, but I've had to drop my resolution again. Tomb map is especially bad, but it affects most games at least once. The game freezes and then speeds up to catch up. Turning off Chrome helps, but there's something happening to me as well since the Hanzo patch.

Finally played Raynor after reading about him here: 1) MVP'd once? Probably says more about the players than me... (It was QM) 2) It does force you to pay attention to the gamestate more than you might since... well there's nothing else to do than be well positioned. I'm sure there's a few times as Sylvanas where I dive in too far, thinking I can back out. No such luck here, plus the Saving Heal Every 30 Seconds is great if the other team doesn't focus fire. 3) Agree that Soldier 76 should get this kit, and move Raynor to a more Vulture themed kit. Also 'A Card To Play' may not be the most efficient Level 20 talent, but it sure is fun to take in a game with no supports on either sides. So many Battlecruisers! VVV Just need 6 deaths in 12 seconds to get a second Battlecruiser going before the first one finishes! Nybble fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Feb 1, 2018 |

A losing player can win MVP, especially in long games. There might be an assassin that gets a ton of kills per death, but their team still loses; or a tank that lives for most of the game and soaks damage, but their team couldn't push in to win. The score algo is here, dunno if it's been updated in the past year: https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/53av50/fyi_how_the_mvp_is_chosen/

I'm not sure exactly why, but since this patch, I can't join a Draft without the game crashing and getting a "HeroesOfTheStorm has been blocked from accessing the graphics card." message. I can play regular games no problem, but something about the draft screen is being blocked. Has anyone else seen something like this? (Sorry TCJimbo et al)

Also if you're about to win with Murky anyway and you've taken Octograb ( a good heroic if you need to isolate a character or take them out of the fight ) I have to recommend "...and A Shark Too" at level 20 because it is absolutely hilarious to slap someone with a shark. (But Making Inky is extremely good, even if you've taken Octograb)

I have to say, I think I played someone that did read that document. Unranked this evening I was playing Murky* as the solo Mid/Top and found their Tassadar doing the same for a short while. I couldn't pressure and used the Towers to back me up, but did tie in XP. Eventually their team came up and then it unraveled for them tho, as our coordinated pressure in bottom lane unbalanced it and the few times I did get got, popped right back into soaking. - No real rumors about the reveal today?
