(only ARAM, but 9 years playing, 6053 games and this was a first for me)

Been playing since Beta and this was the first game I've played where I had one teammate (Tassadar) where every time they spammed ?? & retreat, every other player disconnected (with Tass disconnecting the least)

The match started with some of the players exchanging a whole slew of "pleasantries" with each other, until one (possibly two) new accounts started the above causing all players to disconnect. The lag and disconnects continued throughout the entire match anytime the Tass started spamming. Game even ended with the core showing at 8% health.

I know it was everyone because we got the "entire enemy team has disconnected, match ending in 20 second" message multiple times. (as well as seeing my own team disconnect)

Has anybody experienced this before?

If only it weren't just the janitor running things

My PC is exactly the same the same, there's no reason why I should be getting these spikes and it's only happening in HOTS. Anyone else notice a change?

Okay first I wnat to say I love this gane. I played from day of launch, I don't remember my login for my old account to prove, and I have since deleted the email.

However, that doesn't matter. So much has changed since I last played a handful of new heroes which is great and I'm replaying the heroes I mastered because there have been huge rework on most of them.

Okay ANYWAY, Whitemane is insane. I don't really understand how to play this hero yet specifcally but I have tried him out in Try mode.
So from what I learned this Hero basically thrives off healing mutiple heroes at the same time, and also being damaged and doing damage to other enemy heroes increaases healing?! I could be wrong but this healer is INSANE.
I play a few healers but I main brightwing, before I stopped playing brightwing was defintetly a top healer and I believe still is but I would take his old talents than the one brightwing has now.

Thoughts on Whitemane? Am I wrong?

Players who does not understand the game are constantly harassing me and then reporting me because they don't understand how game works or how hero I am playing works.. I try to be positive, I help as much I can even in bad engages but its always me they target with toxicity and then reports. I tried everything chat off still get banned and harassed by players spamming pings on me when they die, tried to explain gets them mad even worse, tried to go with them and feed as they do again since I am usually last one alive because They engage when I am not there (dead, doing camp or soaking another lane) and won't wait even if i ping on my way then, as they are noobs, their conclusion is its this players fault. It does not matter if I go on objective first since then usually they will be late and I will probably get caught by opponents die or have to go back to heal. I feel I am begin punished because I am regular player who understands every map and who plays solo quo most of the times. Is there anything player can do apart completely abandon solo que?

*Disclaimer: just for those who will write you must have done something, you must have said something to get banned. No I did not and its common knowledge now that blizzard does not check false reporting in any way and that their "anti harasment system" has become the main tool of trolls and harassment.

I swear after a period of time the characters ive already unlocked are being needed to be unlocked, its annoying because im saving up coins saving the chests so i can buy the rest with coins and then after some time Boom mephisto needs another 10,000 coins!

-_- has anyone else experienced this?

Seems there was a unintended change to how the talent behaves after the last patch. The bug has to do with the health given to the clone produced by the talent, it seems to replicate the last total hp of your q clones.

Just to clarify; what used to happen is that if samuro had 60% hp and pressed E, the clone produced would have 60% hp just like if you were to press Q. What happens now: if you press Q at full hp, any clones made with your E will ignore your current hp and just sets the hp to 100%, same goes if you had made your clones with 10% hp and then get healed, your E clone will still be summoned with 10% hp.

Not sure if it only happens if you have illusion master, as I don't play bladestorm I have not seen it.

Week ago I asked you about which hero is best pick for low ranks climbing and to be fair I expected nothing. I got like 30 responses (“dead game”, huh?), mostly truly valuable, and focused on playing Ragnaros E build, on whom I have like 70% win ratio now.

I got from bronze 1 to silver 2 in this time, with global win ratio from shit 25% to about 60% now. And once again I HAVE FUN FROM THIS GREAT GAME.

My wife hates you, but I send you some Christmas love <3

I'm going crazy over here. We aren't going to win again a Zul Jin if you pick 2 Uthers and a tyrande....

Malfurion was ai from the first second untill the finish, but we made a good work with pings and kept him alive most of the game. In the end, game picked the ai for main healer, I was not expecting that.

this is another game that i've had the worst time, a medivh player who did nothing but just goes behind enemy lines to kill the abathur and never once joined a team fight on the objectives. except he died twice as much as he killed abathur and he gave butcher so much meat that butcher completed his quest within 5 mins. and then it snowballed into hell.

players like this is what ruins this game. ranked play should be taken seriously, if you dont want to take it seriously, there are other game modes for you. ranked are those who want other teammates who wants to play the game and have a chance of winning. players like this makes it impossible to win

A mage like Nazeboo? A Tank like Garrosh? A Healer?

Hey nerd, do you want to play semi competitively with a group of friends? Don't have friends, but want people to eventually become life long friends that get along and mesh well? Maybe consider joining the Nexus Gaming Series!

Nexus Gaming Series (NGS) is a community-driven amateur esports league. It provides a platform for players of various skill levels to compete in organized tournaments, improve their gameplay, and engage with the community.

There is a wonderful group of moderators, casters, and coaches who all do this on a volunteer basis. There's way too many people to mention, but they do a fantastic job. It's by the people, for the people!

Divisions based on skill levels: To ensure fair competition, players and teams are placed into divisions depending on their proficiency. Whether you're Loam 5 or grandmaster bronze, there's a division for you!

Seasonal tournaments and events: Teams compete in structured seasons, including regular matches, playoffs, and finals. NGS, where D&D scheduling meets hots.

Community involvement: NGS emphasizes fostering a welcoming and supportive environment for both seasoned players and newcomers. Let me be honest, the best thing (aside from the people) are the team names. Cho N' Gall: rescue rangers, Johanna means family, 30 seconds to mosh, dragon gall z, and of course the Yavapai County Municipal Youth Chess Club and Swim Team...

Free agent combine: If you're in the latter and looking for a team to join. There's a combine that you can select your preferred role, and show off your skills! The groups are assembled by rank, and match as fairly as possible. That way both sides can fairly show off what they got!

He's a jack of all trades, MASTER of all trades.

He so easy to be most damage, most siege damage, most xp in game. And all of his builds can do that (He doesn't have to spec into say push build).

As Ktz, if you need to activate your level 4 talent that gives you 50 physical armor and emits an AOE slow to land a chain... you're not a good ktz.

Like why was my Ktz activating his armor before fights to set up for chains when the enemies have a Zera + Valla.

Assuming that Dva's W is touching them

*I should clarify that drill = his D for me. I do not consider kraken drill canon

Lunara complain I (Butcher) have less than Kharas dmg after 3 minutes (and her 3 deaths). End with 300 meat and a 5 man chain into a 4 man maw. She finishes with the gem \"ur dmg still low\". Genius.

uh oh

UH OH

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Honestly, impressive save

Guess Blizzard did a good job balancing the teams out for me.

Edit: Who tf is downvoting the post lmfao. wtf is wrong with you people.

...and I canceled my WoW sub. Completely lost any desire to play WoW. HotS deserved better, it was the best Blizz game.
On the other hand, bronze hell is there and stronger than ever. So it's still unplayable solo and a huge waste of time.
Any thoughts?
