I played two QM matches in a row with a Nova player, that in about 5 min of the match, he started to being AFK in the spawn point. Eventually he would be kicked out (and then istantly attempt to login again), someone would ping the AI, and when the player rejoin he would instantly be tapping base button over and over again, regardless of where he is. This is pretty weird, ins't this a bot? If it were a player would it be just away when rejoining? And those were 15 min matches he did this same thing over and over again. Very anoying

Welcome to the latest Saturday Teaching Thread, where you the community get to ask your questions and share your knowledge.

This is an opportunity for the more experienced HotS players here to share some of your wisdom with those with less expertise. This thread will be a weekly safehaven for those "noobish" questions you may have been too scared to ask for fear of downvotes, but also can be a great place for in depth discussion if you so wish. So, don't hold back, get your game related questions ready and post away, and hopefully someone can answer them!

If you wish to just view top level comments (ie questions) add ?depth=1 to the end of the page url. If you have any additional questions, /r/nexusnewbies is happy to help.

Upgraded to RTX 5080 and HOTS is the only game that doesn't work.

I get a fatal error crash

Any suggestions?

Hello Everyone I’m breaking into etc and have had okay success. I mainly focus on armor buff and power slide. But I’m wondering if anyone has any tips on how to best play him or to have the most fun while playing him?

Junkrat 20 in ARAM so satisfying

Hello! I just discovered Hogger and I'm really enjoying playing him.

I mostly use these talent builds: 3221211 and 3331334.

However, I'm having trouble with the infinite camp spin tech for fast farming. Do all camps have a specific angle to perform it? any tips or videos to learn them?

Thank you so much and see you in game!

I can do with old guides where the concept of the character haven't changed. Or had big buff/nerfs since the guide. Thanks a ton

Anybody know when SL resets?

I know this was asked 8 years ago but I wonder if it is an option?

When you are actually prepared. He was ulting me all game,

I'm viewing a recent replay trying to see how much I hit for/am hit for at times, and no damage numbers are showing up as in the current game. Do I have some setting disabled perhaps? I see others post here snippets of their replays and it displays the numbers.

Anyone know if blizz still ban players played ranked earlier and people in my team said no 1 is getting banned anymore even for serious offense?

A new issue has been happening. During ranked draft my game suddenly crashes and then I’m stuck in leavers lobby. Anyone else having this issue? Multiple times, making game kind of unplayable.

Do I understand the MMR system correctly? Is this really how it works outside of ranked where you Acc get similar rank ppl? I played since beta and I easily get 65%~ win rate on my fav heroes and I found the only way to meet and group up with comparable skill players is to message the enemy team after the match (ie my teammates are bad and it’s not fun to need to carry every game or lose in “casual” mode like QM)

the game should be about variety and not being pigeonholed to taking a single ult every game. make rain viable
