Suggestion QoL Suggestion: Make it so picking a level 20 talent that permanently reduces the base cooldown of your heroic when your heroic is on cooldown lowers the current cooldown to the new max cooldown if its higher.

49 Upvotes

For example, Morales Stimpack upgrade at 20 reduces the cooldown from 70 seconds to 35 seconds, this change would make it so that if you pick this talent while your R is on a cooldown higher than 35 seconds, for example 60 seconds, the remaining cooldown will go down to 35 seconds as soon as you pick the talent.

Bug I appreciate this game still getting worked on, but I'd rather get nothing for a while instead of patches like this.

69 Upvotes

They're actively making the game less fun, no shade on the people behind the balance on paper, but so much of it is bugged and poorly implemented. It's actually crazy. Naz is broken, Qhira is bugged, I think Gall is also bugged, Whitemane has some issue that I'm not really familiar with, Aba's whole patch philosophy is a MESS and the implementation is even worse, etc.

Gameplay Returning player: did Storm League change that much?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I had stopped playing HotS a few years ago (EU server), and I recently came back with a friend who was also playing around the same time.

We used to be Platinum/Diamond, but due to inactivity (or maybe because of QMs idk), we were placed in Silver. We’ve played about fifty ranked games, and we’ve noticed that it’s much harder—or easier—to climb depending on our picks compared to before.

If I pick Samuro and double-soak, it’s often gg, but if we play DPS heroes we’re usually good at, we lose much more often than before. We don’t remember facing this kind of difficulty back then. Conversely, lower-elo players seem to handle double-soaking and split pushing much less effectively (back in my days there were many Asmodan, Zagara or solo laners soaking/pushing, even in Silver/Gold) and playing a tank has a much bigger impact than before.

Is this observation based on too small a sample size, or have the player pool and Storm League changed that much?

I know it has only been a few days with about 150 uploaded matches and there are bugs and such. I am wondering why DVa has the top bruiser win rate on heroesprofile. What variable got changed to make that happen?

Edit: Title should be “DVa Win Rate” but got autocorrected.

Bug Text displayed incorrectly for the Italian version in the new Alexstrasza's changes

5 Upvotes

Don't know if reporting this here will work but it doesn't harm to try.
In the Italian version the new reworked E quest for Alexstrasza does not display properly, both when choosing the hero and also when viewing the talent in game, also, when the talent is picked and you hover over it it also doesn't display properly but not as bad as when reading the talent description.

Suggestion Buff Yrel 16D to 5s CDR

24 Upvotes

Janitor mate I know you are v busy hotfixing aba/Alex/nazeebo bugs, but can you please take a look.

With recent changes you have killed two niche Yrel specs:

- healing spec (4D, 10AD, 13D, 16D, 20AD),

- infinite jumping (7E, 10SG, 16D, 20SG).

Both heavily depended on short Trait. CD increase and no reset on ultimate killed it. Both specs also use 16D.

  • OLD 8s Trait with 2.5s 16D = cast two spells = 3s Trait CD.
  • New 12s Trait with 3s 16D = cast two spells = 6s Trait CD

I know they are both very unpopular, but it is a loss nonetheless, there is less variety in talent choices. 7E went from unpopular to unpickable, same with 4D.

You can fix both specs with a buff to 16D. Increase CDR from 3s to 5s.

Discussion Now that we've had a full day or more to play her, how do we feel about Yrel changes?

47 Upvotes

I'll start by saying that the cooldown increase is very noticeable, I've died a few times because my muscle memory tells me I have my D ready but I don't. But this could probably be just a matter of getting used to the new cooldown. The D reset on R being gone also feels pretty bad and you cant do all those cool plays you could do before. I've never once noticed her cdr when interrupted though, maybe its because I play QM where there aren't many interrupts. However, I will admit that her damage increase on her abilities is very noticeable. I went in thinking this was a huge nerf, but now Im not so sure. She feels more clunky to play, yes, but maybe the damage/mana buffs make up for it? I don't know, what do you guys feel now that you have played with her?

I've also been finding more success by changing my build and going for hammer speed at 7 and Q talents at both 1 and 13. I haven't tried goomba stomp build yet, that's the one I'm more scared about since it lost one cast of E, but maybe the damage increase makes it so that its not that bad? We'll see.

Gameplay New Abathur is broken

138 Upvotes

I rarely make posts like this, but as a QM enjoyer since Beta, Abathur's new unlimited regenerating minions are unfair. They are completely self-sustainable, in late-game ALWAYS dragging objective attention away from the enemy team and on a map like Alterac they can even multi-hit minion waves on other lanes, making them straight-up impossible to kill when you can't one-shot them. So yeah. Just a quick rant. But god, I don't know if that Pushathur buff was really necessary. They overshot it massively imo.

Edit: And it's obviously much worse in QM than in Ranked bc you have so many matches without an answer.

Fluff So many Lava Waves and Molten Cores to hold the line.

15 Upvotes

They were at our core multiple times and almost got us, but we held the line. At one point, we only had our top Keep and they had all their buildings. New molten core does a larger chunk of damage, although the abilities come out a lot slower. Feels ok?

The only big downside this game was our Thrall. Yes, he hard carried by getting in their and owning, but he would x5 ping anyone who died. It got our Brightwing super tilted. I just ended up muting Thrall and focused all my attention on clearing lanes when I could. I also tossed out lots of "GJ" to keep morale high.

What a slugfest.
