i am going to play more jaina (and other shmucks, i guess. if i have to) tonight at ~9 PM EDT, please join me one and all

@Bee @notbov @spacetown @Sakurina

I launched bnet to get caught up on patches but I will try to be there!

so Iā€™ve been messing around with hotslogs tracking the last few days

someone tell me that this shit isnā€™t very accurate, cause I know yall been boosting me and shit, but this says Iā€™m platinum undrafted and diamond qm. thereā€™s no way in hell Iā€™m plat at anything, much less diamond. I donā€™t buy that for a second. how does this thing work. also how is QM mmr even a thing.

itā€™s not very accurate unless you upload all of your games (or others upload all of the games you are in) - especially games played when your confidence was low

iā€™m diamond qm too and I donā€™t think Iā€™m amazing but I do know that the capacity for a qm team to throw is immeasurable

I thought I was hot shit and then I looked up my brother who is apparently master in qm what

I got all my games uploaded so I guess Iā€™m just a hots prodigy sent in from the matrix to destroy noobs

my win rates make no sense to me. I have like a 60% overall win rate on healers, which is better than any other role, but I almost never feel useful on a healer. I feel like I missplay every fight on them horribly. I play li ming and tracer and feel like Iā€™m outplaying the shit out of people but I lose all of those games. I play like artanis and press W on CD and have a 70% win rate. I think my highest win rate assassin is jaina and I fucking know I suck at her.

Dear that one guy or gal at Blizzard on the HotS team who really likes Eva,

Please, stop.

On a more serious note, are you ready ready for these Uther buffs

Holy Shock is more than a talent now, itā€™s a way of life

Why would I be playing Uther when both Li Li and Auriel got damage buffs?

auriel seriously doesnā€™t need any dmg buffs wtf bliz

She got no cleanse, she needs to just murder people who CC her babies.

dps auriel inc

To be fair, when she first dropped you could put up Assassin DPS numbers if you built her for damage. She took a huge nerf and Blizz thought barely buffing her auto-attack made up for it lol

why not just play all three heroes on the same team?

Holy Shock Uther is legit a solo lane build, let the rest of the team roam with two healers and extra damage while he soaks a ton

Blizzard is giving away a ā€œmega bundleā€ of 20 heroes to anyone who logs in Apr 25-May 22 following the launch of Heroes 2.0. You can choose between Assassin, Flex, Support/Specialist, and Tanks/Bruisers as your mega bundle.

Iā€™ve been playing League of Legends with buddies about 3 times a week for the past few months (after a multi-year hiatus). Itā€™s fun to approach a super complicated game and try and get better, but it feels like the games are long enough that itā€™s really hard to practice or improve certain matchups, mechanics, etc if I canā€™t spend literally all my waking time playing it.

For the first third of the game, League lanes are pretty static, so individual champion v. champion matchups are super important. But I may only get to practice against a certain champion twice a month since we only get a couple games in a night.

Or like, if Iā€™m playing a teamfight-centered champion there may only be one or two teamfights per game for me to practice my mechanics. And some subset of those fights arenā€™t terribly useful for improving because I did poorly in the laning portion of the game so Iā€™m underpowered.

Iā€™d like to get into HotS because I think the combination of shorter games and more dynamic lanes will make personal improvement faster/easier. Dunno how to convince my friends to switch, though.

be friends with us instead
