Heroes of the Storm

It's both for me. Assfaggots aren't that good to begin with, and as said it's hopelessly mediocre. You see, the people that work at Blizzard just aren't that good compared to the rest of the industry. Sure they're not Andromeda bad, but they're just one step up above from that. Look at how they've ran WoW into the ground over the years. I believe Hearthstone is losing players a lot (I could be wrong) and Overwatch will die off in the next two years because waifu bait only goes so far.

They're not good at what they do, they're mediocre. I guarantee you if the whole company went under tomorrow nobody who puts Blizzard entertainment on their resume will work in video games again. They will not be hired by other game companies.

It got rid of last hits and the shop so it made the game more enjoyable for me.

But as others have mentioned, the game is nothing great and there isn't much of a reason to make a thread about it.

I applaud your effort.

Shit thread, check these dubs.

who are these guys?

Anyway, the new summer swimsuit skins are coming out so I'm hoping they aren't pozzed. What? No bikini bottoms? shit.

Tried it out for the OW cross-promotion; didn't really like the gameplay and I ended up uninstalling after getting Officer D.Va. Dropped OW too once I realized I was just getting upset trying to go for the golden skins and trying to rank up with mouthbreathing retards that refuse to shoot the fucking lady raining missiles down on us all game.

But then…
Warcraft 3 had many great and genuinely strategic AoS maps. What Blizzard has done is bland water compared to a fine cocktail of entertainment.

Pharah is out of control in OW right now, she didn't get many buffs in the past, but her counters have gotten worse as time went on.

You really enjoyed the 1 hour last hit, checking the shop fest?

Get the fuck out you enormous faggots, if you want to talk about this shit go to 4cuck.

Yeah I used to use Ana to "counter" her, but needing a fourth shot to kill really hurts ;Soldier and McCree should technically kill her easily, but their damage fall off makes them too unreliable to kill her. Seems like the only way to take Pharah out is coordinated fire, but good luck with that in pubs.

thats basically the same deal for every online team game ever.

The maps I hold in high regard where ones where you fought over a variety of objectives, mostly sources of income for your team and additional unit spawns, that allowed different avenues of play and had wildly differing heroes some of which had huge strengths/weaknesses.
In one such map, there was a merchant hero and I remember two main things about him.
1. He had an ability that sent invulnerable trader zeppelins across the map, and once they completed the journey from allied to enemy base, each member of your team received gold.
2. He had an ability that set up a shop that could attack like a turret and provided allies a way to get potions in lane.
I also played a bit of Demigod and thought Rook was the single greatest thing in that game. What a novel idea; adding more turrets into the game that are meant to be destroyed en masse, then giving a hero the ability to devour them for HP (including allied ones).
But no, go ahead, tell me how;
Is so fucking great.

Two good shots from Hanzo will fuck up Pharah from any distance. One if you're good/lucky.

The 20min games is a good part of the game. most ASSFAGGOTS do not respect your time what so ever. Games are determined by the first 10-15min and then last another 20-30mins.

Not to mention you have to deal with 5 other enemies at the same time, OW has a very small FOV which makes Pharah an instant tunnel vision above.

You need to be very good at leading shots for that.

Blizzard should be dead then. But in the world of mobile games and casual games, Blizzard are like number one. This isn't the same 100,000 guys that were playing everquest, and probably still are.

WoW won't die, it'll go EvE style free to play then put on the backburner. It's a victim of its own success.

Blizz will need a new IP or sequel to entrance the normalfags though, they can only hold attention for so long.

If you believe ASSFAGGOTS are derivative of RTS, then you should appreciate the merits of longer, more strategic games. I personally believe they're derivative of ARPG's.

I'm not saying your ideas arent good, sometimes I would like a "play for the long game" type of deal, with support and such.

But to be honest, the sort of thing some people want are the niche. Most people want to play a game for half an hour tops, then go to the toilet, make food, check their phone etc. The sort of game you like exists already right? So HoTS is basically the casual counterpart. Not too serious, no VC "FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOUR BAAAD"

There is no merit of playing a game that is already over, at least in RTSs you can just leave the game once you know its over.

I need to know if Fel Queen CHromie was ripped to SFM yet btw.

What fucking game? Other than a handful of maps with good ideas on Warcraft 3 that no one will play because they're not Dota, I'm struggling to figure out what you mean. Demigod is also a dead game.
I like strategy games. I like strategic choices. I don't like HotS because it eliminated those factors so it could be the Smash Bros Brawl of ASSFAGGOTS.

There are also more ways to come back in an RTS than there are in ASSFAGGOTS. HotS is literally 'Are we losing fights? Oh shit I hope we win the next fight', but each time you lose a fight you give up an objective or map control.

Its a "Fun" game, but only enjoyable in short bursts, similar to Rocket League.
Just play it to fuck around and relive stress, don't approach it as something to invest serious time or energy into. or shekels

My personal issue with the game is it suffers from Nu-Blizzard's Matchmaking System that rewards bad players and punishes good players.
They deliberately rig lopsided games to force wins for bad players, ensuring the addiction to the dopamine slot machine in the hope they will drop money into the game, as a result forcing good players to suffer unwinnable losses.

There are no carry mechanics in this game, a win relies on the competency of your entire team. A single bad player who plays incorrectly or doesn't participate in the game will guarantee a loss.
Overwatch suffers from the same matchmaking system.

Only good thing to come out of these new blizzard games is the porn.

Like said, it's simple enough and fun to play for a brief amount of time. It's the only ASSFAGGOTS I put any time into, and even then I play super casually. I appreciate that there's a lot more variety than other games, and the quick pace of the matches means I can get a couple rounds in in the time it would take to play a single game of Dota 2 or something.

I see the entire genre as something that you shouldn't get worked up over. I don't find it competitive like an RTS, and I don't get why people take it so seriously to the point where they refuse to play anything else. It's there if I feel like it, but I don't spend every waking moment playing it.

I think you and I have a different definition of mediocre. Yeah, a lot of their franchises (or all, tbh) have gotten more casual over the years, but I guarantee you that nobody who's worked there for a decent length of time will have difficulties finding a job elsewhere. The artists in particular have always been good (female worgen notwithstanding).

I appreciate strategy, but honestly, if I want to play something strategic, I'll play an RTS. ASSFAGGOTS and CRAPCUNTS and the like aren't strategic, they're "let's throw a bunch of random shit in a pot and see what happens." Not every game has to have a lot of depth, but it does annoy me when ASSFAGGOTS defenders try to claim that DotA and its various iterations are actually deep. They're shallow as hell.

And who in the fuck are you? Take a fucking hike cock goblin.

Overwatch suffers from the same matchmaking system.

Yeah but you make it sound like the enemy team is always gonna be pros.

Are we being raided or is summer in full swing

...

The MM system actually makes it that way, not pros but it puts you on harder matches the more you win, until you lose the same amount.

That's literally how every single matchmaking system ever made works though. You rise through ranks playing against better and better players in what should be harder and harder matches until you hit a point where you have a 50% winrate. It's the same in chess, it's the same in shooters, it's the same in anything that purports to make matches happen based on the skill of the players. There's no problem with a matchmaking system working that way unless you disagree with the premise that matches between two evenly skilled teams are the most enjoyable to play.
The issues with matchmaking in games like overwatch and hots are

...

Hots has too many modes as well, so the pool to pick from in each mode is smaller, so you get people waiting in down times and getting retarded matchups though.

Plus there is the smurf factor.

Even retarded niggers who play assfaggots don't like HOTS you double-retarded, double-nigger.

Fuck off.

Sounds like the rest of the board doesn't agree with you buddy, too bad.

Also I don't want this to sound like I'm defending Blizzard's matchmaking, because it's probably the worst out there even in just the slim categories of class based shooters and dota clones. It's not unusual to see teams of people with hundreds of hours put up against people who just started playing that day. I'm pretty sure they've even outright stated they prioritize making matches quickly over making them balanced which defeats the entire point of a matchmaking system and if they're going to do that they should just make a fucking server browser because it would be just as unbalanced but infinitely faster.

dubs

What I want to know about HotS is why every fucking match takes ten minutes to load. Is everyone's rig really this fucking shit? I always see my load bar finish first, which I attribute to running a good SSD, but some of the load times I've seen for the game as a whole have just been fucking nutty. There's no way this piece of shit MOBA should take this long to get everyone in-game.

I didn't realize there was so much of it. Thought it was mostly OW

The game is just programmed like ass, probably on account of it being basically a hacked together mess made in the SC2 map editor. Sometimes it loads fine, sometimes it disconnects people three or four times trying to load them in.

its basically a retooled Starcraft 2 engine, so it has a bunch of stupid shit they should've fixed a million years ago you'd think.

Yes to both, and because there's already a much better Hero of the Storm

Gee I wonder why the most dumbed down game in a dumbed down genre is bad.

a turn based strategy game?

Can someone TL;DR me Paragon

Basically Smite I guess? It's the exact same gimmick of "LoL but third person shooter" although instead of an item shop you have like a custom set of items for each character you choose before matches and I think you get items for those sets from random lootboxes so I don't know how balanced the system can possibly be.

Good job faggots, giving the faggot OP a (You) Bukkake party.

That version of the song is from one, yeah, but Might Gaine is often referred to as "Arashi no Hero"

All of those games are shit, did you even look inside them? Battleborn thread was to shit on Randy and Gearbox and all the others were equally saged, called summer and cancer.

Swing and a miss.

Post SRW music

You got it

some of the heros are fun and mechanically interesting, others are so boring they make you want to kys.

I can play hours of medivh but I cant say the same of 87% of the cast

I think the map variance also makes up for the lack of base game depth.

This is coming from someone who knows what they are talking about

Lurk more, retard.

...

Good shit

...

Wait a second, is this a disguised Overcuck thread?

No, it's a DUBS thread. Check mine.

I'll take your bait: It's sleazier, more broken, shittier, and has more grinds than Lol. It takes forever to unlock anything as a f2p because Metzen and Bobby Kotick force you to spend money to make you get stuff. All the heroes and skins they released are half-assed with incomplete, ugly skins and models. There is no balance in the game, and most of the maps suck (annoying announcers, rng that fucks players over like Raven). You have little or no choice, but to play the shitty map they give you. The roster is complete stupid because there are characters nobody asked for. One of Blizzard's coolest Easter eggs was characters had funny things to say in RTS games. None of the HoTS characters have anything funny to say, and you want to punch more than half of them (the VAs say some really cringy shit like Nova and Sonya's).

Fuck this sleazy moba, and fuck off to your little shit hole, Blizzard-fanboy-sjw-shill. All ASSFAGGOT games suck.
