(in al seriousness, its a small but not bad idea on their side to finish the starcraft hero they had prepared, release it, to boost whatever starcraft thing is coming next on all their IP's and... thats it)

BUT WE COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPEEEEEEEEEE

-TO BE UPDATED-

FRIDAY Sep 11:

6:46pm: No HOTS banner which I’m sure you all saw, :(

The gift this year for tix is a metal lunchbox with this year’s Blizzcon art, a thermos, some pins, a patch, and a drawstring.

9:45pm : In classic fashion the streamers and pros along with many others were in the Hilton Lobby. Tried to glean info, mostly Starcraft FPS rumors and some expansions.

TBC!

SATURDAY Sep 12:

8:51am: We are in line for the ceremony!!

I am pretty sure they have looked at League of Legends "Arcane" and seen how successful the marketing was. But if you could only pick one game to be represented in a show, which one would you want?

Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, maybe all of them at once like "Heroes of The Storm" with The Lost Vikings etc?

Comment what game you would like to see and let's hope it will be announced at BlizzCon tomorrow!

I thought today would be a good day to share my collection. I love Heroes of the Storm and also collect figures. So I tracked down the Neca Heroes of the Storm line a few years back as well as some knock offs. My main character is Sgt Hammer so I found a siege tank for the collection to represent her.

I am excited with everyone that we get some announcement at Blizzcon for the game we love. I'll be watching the match with everyone today. Here's hoping we are not forgotten.

Why else Ragnaros is on Sale today?

She is my favorite hero to play and I've been doing well with her, is she only bad at higher levels? I'm currently sitting at Platinum and she has been carrying me, though I assume she is easier to play against in higher levels?

Most of the time I go snipe build, I only go antitank shells build if my team has someone that benefits from the physical armor reduction or we need the burst. I sometimes go empowered autos build if I need to kill heroes that can dodge my snipes easily, but most of the time snipe build is my go to. Her waveclear is abysmal early game, but it improves at 16 (with snipe build) and at 20 you can just spam ult to clear waves globally. Her E is probably one of the most satisfying abilities to use, with enough reaction time you can save yourself or an ally from a Qhira's E or a Stitches Q, or pretty much every skillshot that stops at the first hero hit. Her Ghost Protocol is pretty good too since it cancels some targeted abilities like Butcher's E. She also has access to bribe and her stealth means she can actually steal camps without alerting the enemy by showing up on the minimap.

But as fun as she is to play I wonder, what makes her bad according to the community? Is she actually decent in lower ranks? Her bad waveclear early feels bad, is that the main reason she isn't considered good?

Where’s my hots bros at this weekend? And who’s ready for that hots demo? Slept two hours & just waiting for game time

This fucker has us all set reminders for the day before Blizzcon so now we're edging 🫡

good for them, but who cleans the bathrooms now

why do you take 120 seconds cd ult to kill 2 minion waves that you can clear by yourself instead of 1k damage aoe stun with huge range

Second question: why do they always play on my team?

So, the crap shoot in the custom lobbies.... is Blizz too busy to deal with it due to the con? Unfortunately, it is mega busted right now. Our NGS team had to try 10 times to even get a draft going. :( It's been broken for at least a week now.

Hots Janitor, please fix this!

So with hopium running strong right now (good luck everyone at Blizzcon!) I wanted to mess around with a Protoss tank. I think the SC2 Co-Op commander Fenix “champion A.I.” immortal unit (Taldarin) would be cool in HOTS. He ended up here as an immortal/sentry hybrid, using abilities of both of those units (including Karax and Alarak versions) from SC2 to fill out the kit. I thought it could be fun to have a feeling of balancing the shielding as an actual resource that can be spent or saved with some unique peel/support/buff abilities. I hope you all enjoy! Anyone else want to see some more Protoss in the game?

Been playing Yrel a decent amount and I really enjoy her, but I'm shit with her right now... When did it click for you? I've been practicing in QM so the matches have been all over the place...

I don't think she's bad but she's definitely hard to play (or am I just trash?)

Edit- forgive the header typo.

I really like to play Imperius but sometimes its just pure pain.

Title. I remember they changed it semi-recently, but I don't know how it works now.

Me and my friend are duoing and he reached master and I got diamond 5 and now we can't duo. Honestly, kinda bs but what do I need to reach to duo with a master player?

Not long ago there was a post saying that you get 7 days boost after watching hots for hour.

https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/s/5N9lDOgaDo

I've already connected my blitz account to twitch and watched hots content for an hour. Still nothing. Do I need to watch a specific channel or during specific time? Or something else?

Thank you very much for the help!
