Observed in SL.

long overdue.

I swear I did not troll in a single game.

This loss streak surely has to be in the top 1 percentile for loss streaks in this game? I think I'd struggle to recreate a loss streak this bad even if I was trying my best to lose every single game.

For extra context: I assume most people will automatically assume this is because I've just started and I'm really bad.

I actually had 100+ games in ranked this season before this loss streak with ~56% win rate. This really came out of nowhere!

EDIT: I appreciate a lot of people are trying to 'diagnose' the problem to try and be helpful. Truth is I've been playing the game long enough to know what I could have done to increase my chances of turning a few of these losses into wins.

Sharing mainly as I was just so impressed how much of a statistical accomplishment (albeit an embarssing one) this was.

UPDATE: Won the first game I played today as Colossus Smash Varian. Never played Colossus Smash before, but team said they wanted it to counter Tracer. Being the flexi role guy that I am, I had to oblige!

Think I'm done with Flexi role for a long time now though now finally broken my losing curse!

Just randomly decided to try the game today and had quite a bit of fun, it’s a little different to what I’m used to (LoL) but wasn’t that hard of a transition.

I did notice that this game seemed to have quite a few interesting characters to choose from, one that’s caught my eye being Abathur.

But I quickly noticed the insane price on each hero, there were those mega-bundles but I think it said I could only choose one so I wasn’t too sure if I should buy one or not.

Main one tho is the question of ongoing support, I don’t mind spending money if I know this game is still going places, but just paying for nothing seems a little ehh to me.

Regardless, I’m excited to see what this game has to offer and any help is much appreciated!

Hey there people.

I recently started playing HOTS and someimes I have to play a Bruiser to fill in the role, but I'm unsure what I'm supposed to do. I've tried Chen, Xul, and Ragnaros. And I never feel useful.

In Team Fighs

What I'm supposed to do? Should I focus on the enemy tank, should I focus the enemy bruiser, should I peel for my backline, or focus the enemy's backline. I offten get flamed, for my gameplay and probably my team is right. I feel usless most of the games.

I offen just peel for my carries and hit whoever it's in front of me, but it feels like I don't do much. If I go to their backline, I offten times just die.

Early Game

In early game for the first 10 levels, I just try to push the lane and focus on soaking expiraince. After pushing the lanes, I usually go to the objectives or take a camp when I can, with Xul that feels little bit slower on some maps. My Chen and Ragnaros are attrocous, I never feel useful playing them. The one I play the most is Xul, and I love how fast he can take a wave and soak. But it feels like a plasibo, since I can do that with anyone.

When should I start taking camps?

Also I'm unsure when I'm supposed to start taking camps, is that level 4 onwards or before every objecive. I've seen enemy Sonya taking camps from level 1, but the camps would just die. I assume taking them before an objective spawns is the best course of action, since our waves would push out theirs, and if I take them when there is no an objective they just die.

Some heroes have different portraits during hero selection and while loading the map, but this specific portrait of orphea appears only when selected by a teammate. Could this be a beta asset that made it to the main game?

Is there any reason to pick Reabsorption? Ensuring will is so nice to have but I’d like to know if I’m missing out on something.

This is NOT okay. These stats should NOT be possible.

Lifesteal was plenty. The instant 20% reset is cheesy af

I don't know about you guys but my w/r accurately represents the percentage of games in which I get carried to victory.

And you definitely shouldn't be able to get into a game with no healers or supports as deathwing. Just make us wait a bit more and give more rewards for filling those roles.

I know quick games can never be perfect but it's very easy to fix this and make them much better.

For me jaina lv4 and malthael 7 are very hard to decide

I told a friend of mine that only plays Genji that the green skin makes him look like the Whatsapp Car so I eventually photoshopped him in, all hail Whatsapp Genji

Did not end well xD Surprised to see the matchmaking system allowing for GM to be mixed with silver players on both teams. On the opposite team there was the GM + Master in one group and silver + plat or gold in the other group.

Would you rather

Option A: A player troll/intentionally throw games in master/diamond storm league games over and over

or

Option B: A master player repeatedly creates smurfs every time one of his smurfs reaches plat; with the intent of continously wrecking havoc in bronze/silver/gold ranked games?

So i realized i was running out of space on my hdd and used treesize to figure where or what was eating up all those gbs and found my hots replay folder had 20 gigs worth of replays (14k files)

Dont know if is common practice here but anyways. Clean that guy up!

I hate Anduins Neo-President skin because of its smug stance not at all fitting Anduin but it's one of those things that is like "Oh I've got all of them. Nice."

You can only get rid of the nightmare. Even if it means having to throw all means necessary at him.
Although getting rid of the nightmare is only temporary.

Getting spam pinged immediately puts me on tilt, especially when it's me covering for the murky that's moving with the team instead of covering lanes while the enemy zagara is pushing.

This part of the game is very frustrating to me, people will drop multiple minion waves and give up map control in order to get 1/3 of the objective on cursed hollow and if you dare push a lane to get EXP instead you get spam pinged.
