Post your awesome/funny/sad game here!

Probius will become a ranged assassin.

Blaze is a tank but Leoric is only a bruiser? Also Zarya being support?

Some strange decisions there for me.

They've been nerfing Blaze's solo lane capabilities and buffing his tanking qualities over the past month or two, slowly moving him in a more tanking direction. I expect to see more changes to him before the role changes come in a month.

Today i played 4 games. In 3 of those we had someone semi-afk...like comming out of the box after 1.5mins and then everytime he died it took him 1 min to move again after he respawned. In the last game we had a Xul who spent for real around 10 minutes in the start area in a 24 mins game and still managed to die 10 times...

I was really looking forward to spent some good time at the pc before bed time, but this shit sucked ass.

[Nerraw]

That moment when you check your Replays folder and there are 3800 games in there....

I don't have a problem, you have a problem!

[Paladin885]

had a fun one recently...
-Braxis holding
-my team = cain, rexhar (both teamed together in queue), zul'jin, gul'dan, nova (me)
-enemy team = azmodan, nazeebo, probius, monk, and someone else I forget...
-we have no lane presence compared to them
-probius himself is the wall and tank, azmodan is dunking us like its WWII, and nazeebo is solo top with no threat
-long story short we lose
-the 2 teamed players blame nova(me) for throwing the game.
-wave #2 was bottom lane, 100% them, 0% us. last fort was at ~12%. They also had mercs in that lane. So it was pushing the core with mimimal dmg taken.
-reported me for afk because I yielded and let them pass since we had a 0.00001% chance to stop them.
-I ended up only dying twice and getting 10 kills when our team total kills was below 20.... but that didnt matter since I "threw the match"

this was sad, and funny.

Since a week ago I've literally been trapped in ELO Hell. 106 Games, and the
fucking MM insists on making me drop all the way to Silver 3 and then STAY
there. I could literally play 20 games a day and make 0 progress.

Worse still, it further insists that I keep a 12-14 game loss difference. Try as
I might to close the gap, the game says "No" and takes me right back.

Next to impossible for me to climb, unless I face someone on the other team
the MM hates more.

After a handful games vs AI, like 75% of players run stim packs. Remembering how few people had special mounts and skins back when you *had* to pay, that's astonishing. And yea, sample size is garbage.

Depending on how many games you play in a month, stimpacks (now boosts I guess) can have insane value.

God dammit, an hour to play on Tuesday morning due to a late start at work so I jump on to squeeze in a game

Ten minutes in queue for HL, so I cancel it and go to QM (turns out people aren't online at 9am on a work day, who knew?)

Another eight minutes and I get a game, after the matchmaker relaxes the restrictions and just throws people together. I end with Orphea, Sylvanas, Murky, Fenix and Zeratul... vs Diablo, BW, Nova, Valeera and ZJ.

It was a shitshow.

Yup, I heard that Australia and NZ have different server and lack of players, because of that.

We have Oceanic servers, and thank FUCK we do do (because trying to play this game on >100 ping is basically... impossible - even the Singapore ones we used to get tossed into are unplayable), but it does get mega fucking quiet from time to time.

Blaze is a tank but Leoric is only a bruiser? Also Zarya being support?

Some strange decisions there for me.

Leoric does not have the tools to main tank. Only time he was played as such was the first year of HotS when he launched during the Eternal Conflict. He was very overpowered back then, however, and the game hadn't matured enough to create a more strict tank meta.

Blaze on the other hand has more tools for being an okay tank, so it makes more sense to balance him as such than Leoric being a tank. That being said, Blaze is not an ideal either tank because of his E being unreliable, but with some balance tweeks and a mini rework he should be able to become a pretty solid tank choice, unlike Leoric who would need a pretty massive rework to fill the tank role.

The new QM MM is somehow even more dogshit than the last one.

- - - Updated - - -

So apparently QM has devolved into a 'whoever wins first objective wins the game' even moreso than usual.

I just played a HL game...Azmo got MVP with 50% siege dmg and 35% hero dmg done...really? The team was instantly 2 levels ahead and in the end 4 lvls just because of one character.

[ThatsOurEric]

Almost at a 30 loss difference from my wins this season, highest its ever been since the game came out.

[KainneAbsolute]

I think specialist category is needed because specialists win tons of xp and gets lots of siege power

Not really. Some assassins do that just as well in addition to being valuable team fighters and objective brawlers.

Specialist (specifically just sieging) no longer fits, or has any reason of staying in the game.

I played Hanzo on a free rotation a long while ago and i had TONS of FUN.
Since then i've been saving gold to buy him.

I bought him today.
First match, i face a Butcher.

"Ok Shadowpunk, be calm, just use your ultimate Stun to counter his dash to you" i said

The fucking guy one shots me before i could use the stun...in s split second!
This happened the whole game.

ZERO counter play.

Yeah...was not a fun game.

Butcher is Unstoppable during his charge.

If you run into the middle of your team as you're targetted with charge though, he should get blown up before he pops you.

Thanks for the tips as always Nikkaszal
