HotS motivational thread, what have you accomplished today?

Playing a few games, not played since Dehaka was released.

What's up with the power creep?

Since that patch, with the exception of a few heroes like Tracer and Falstad (later on), alot of heroes got a buff.

Telling me And from initial glances seems Chromie is another "Li Ming - blow you up from off the screen in 2 moves" style hero (wooo.)

WAs playing Valla and saw she had a more powerful toolkit (or at leas felt that way) but up against heros like Gul'dan and Alarak still felt like a little bitch

Don't get me wrong the rounds were still fun and stuff; just the pace of the fights seems vastly accelerated (bit too fast for me I think, time to main Gazlowe *cough*)

Last night, before bed, I had a wonderful game where someone just mentioned "new hero release tomorrow" around the 12 minute mark and we spent the rest of the game laughing and joking around at what the new hero would be.

Thanks for that, guys

I reached Diamond 5 yesterday! \o/ Time to climb even further.

[ttak82]

Got Gul'dan to level 7. In 2 days, played 7 matches, won 5. I am having a hard time finishing echoed corruption now (I hit close to 35 stacks in 20 mins), so I am just going to ignore this talent in favor of glyph of drain life. Another thing that I noticed is that Gul'dan is great in double warrior setups (heavy frontline). and if you have another specialist to split push, the pressure can be insane. Muradin + Sonya (with leap) is a great frontline for him. Will do more QM rounds before buying him. It's going to be hard to convince people to go double tank in HL so playing Gul'dan in ranked will be a bit problematic. Maybe might give a go in UD. Only played one game of UD this season.

Yes, even these heroes you mentioned have received buffs, including reworked Valla.

Yeah, I have switched from filling in hero league, I had dropped to silver 4 so something had to change. I am now maining Muradin/Etc and have been doing pretty amazing. 13-5, Pretty amazing. I normally have been getting mvp.

I think my main problem with hl is that it is just so hard to carry as a support or specialist, roles that I mainly play. When I play an assassin, I never really have anyone back me up and I make stupid plays, I like playing heroes who have great survivability/mobility. ETC is great because you can just win a game off a mosh pit, though it is harder to pull off some times. With Muradin you can just jump in, poke until your 30-40% health making them use all their cds/mana on you, then you back out and get your health back with third wind, then go right back in. It is funny, mana is my mana problem on him because I just survive so damn long. I have gone fights where my whole team has died twice over and I have 0 mana still trying to get a curse.

I'm glad Garden of Terror is no longer in the rotation, but I am missing Shrines/Temple/Tomb.

Farmed some QM to get Dehaka to leve 10 yesterday. I ended up buying his master skin because you never see that thing.

Thats because his mecha skin is so much more awesome

But there's more prestige in the master skin!

It's a daily struggle to chose whether to use Master or Ghost skin for Kerrigan...

Tbh I want a "disable premade group" function. I do not wish to have promenades in my group or as enemies. Why is this not yet possible?

[Ryme]

There really is nothing better than a good Lost Vikings player and a team that know how to work with them. Glorious game.

We need to play more games then.

[Ryme]

We really do! Carry me to plat, or let me drag you down to gold :P

[ttak82]

Just using my stim pack to get more heroes leveled up. I've hit 400 total hero level. Recent level ups were Nova, Greymane and Valla (all up to level 8). Also bought Tychus.

Tychus is in a really good place at the moment. Good purchase!

Another thing is that I am also confident of picking him up in HL (for maps like CH, ToD, BHB) as I have had good results in QM this season. I still have around 60K gold (technically 40K since Iwant to keep 20K in case a gold mount shows up) so I am stiiiil looking to buy some more heroes. I have a reasonable hero pool.

He does really well on Garden of Terror in defense as well. He's been my go-to hero for that map for a few weeks now, winrate is definitely higher than it would be otherwise.

Fallen back to what I know, support, and now I'm back in platinum with +20 rank adjustment!
