What's everyone's bad maps? I think it's just a coincidence, but wow I am 50% or higher on every map except for Dragon Shire, where I am 4-10.

Last I looked I was 50% or higher on all maps except dragon shire, though like a 48% win rate on dragon shire. I think I had a 60% win rate on gardens. Gardens probably has the most team fighting while dragon shire has the least. Not always, but most people respond to pings so you can usually lead them to water and they'll drink, but dragon shire people have to be able to carry their own for awhile and that doesn't always end so well.

Hmm. Yeah I have 2 friends whom also have 50% or higher on every map except for Dragon Shire. My best map is Haunted Mines (67%) map and the new one where I am also, coincidentally, 67%. Sky Temple is the map I've played the most and am always dead even on, except for now where I have 2 extra wins, but that'll change, it's always exactly 50% for me.

The laser map is below 50% win rate for me, which is weird cause i like it. Very dynamic with objectives changing place all the time. Started maining Illidan and holy balls is he fun. He feels super fragile tho, a glass canon, in melee... Still learning how to use him to its fullest. I usually pick the central lane and watch for out of position heroes on top or bottom so i can quickly dispatch them. That feeling when you see a hero that slightly over extended and you head over to rape him a new one, knowing he wont be able to get away... its magical.

Sylvanas feels at the right spot. Pretty good balance for an hero just fresh out of the oven.
My worst experience remain with anyone playing Nova. Lost count of how many times shes waiting there, idle, for that final killshot aaaaaaaaaaaaand misses it. Like, holy shit just fuckin auto attack and we would have won 30 seconds ago.

I don't know if they've tightened up match making recently and I don't play a *ton* of hero league but I've had quite a few really close and really even matches in Hero

Man, this game is addicting. It seems to eliminate the bloat of LoL, and just emphasis' the fun aspects of the gameplay. Really loving Zeratul right now.

The only thing I hate about this game is when you have a good game and you're absolutely crushing it and the rest of your team is retarded, you're still even power with everyone else and you can't carry them to victory. This is assuming you crushing it doesn't lead to a 3-4 level advantage for your team.

This game is more about making plays in fights instead of farming jungle efficiently to the point you can just a-move into 3 people and solo kill them. Which I actually prefer. No one likes having to run away from the carry except for the carry.

I also ran into an opponent's team yesterday where the focus was around Jaina + Rehgar + Tass. Dear God it was a pain. You'd basically jump on Jaina and she'd get bubbled. Once the bubble was depleated and you're back to doing HP she'd ice block. During the ice block she'd generally get Ancestrial thrown on her as well. All the while she is popping her rotation. We eventually won because they started getting fast and loose in the end game but actual 5v5 fights were a nightmare.

Jaina new top hero! She has been disgusting good in the competitive scene, Crazily should be stoked he was a big Jaina fan from what I remember.

My worst map by far (excluding the new one) is Blackhearts, I have a super solid 20% win rate on that fucking map. Mines and Hollow are just under 50% (mines feels like an auto lose like Blackhearts but apparently I've won a few). Conversely I'm at almost 70% on Sky Temple 66% on Dragonshire and 55% on Garden. In fairness I'm still pretty low on game count (96 atm).

NonY was riding the Jaina train since she was released on the TL forums. Although he did bring up a good point that even though her pushing was buffed this patch her actual killing potential not so much. Since she usually kills heroes with a ton of overkill a 10% damage buff isn't quite as impactful on her as it would be on someone like Tychus. He just thinks that these perceived buffs have moved her into the forefront of the meta.

Yeah I just had a game like that where our Zeratul was 8-8 and had a exp contribution of 22k at the end. The rest of the team had an average of around 28k and mine was at 45k. I also blew them away in Siege and Hero damage and it was still a very close game on Blackheart's Bay. But everyone except for the Uther was full retard. The worst is players that don't know how to prioritize. They'll force us to lose a key objective like a third soul or a coin turn in "because they had to defend the gate or it would have been lost... from minions" and then I explained to him that because of him "defending that gate from dying" we instead lost the gate + 2 towers and the fort because they got a turn in. The same goes for players that way, way over prioritize mercenaries. It drives me up the wall. People have absolutely no common sense. I just went 6-0 and then 0-3 because of shit like this.

I had a game last night where an illidan on our team had 20k hero damage at the end of a 26 minute game. I had 70k as ..........Diablo. I don't think I've ever seen an assassin have that low of hero damage in a game that long. He basically just merced and laned the whole game and didn't do shit else unless someone bothered him on the other team.

I just hate this games match making with a passion. I have 400 some matches played, hotslogs says I'm about 2500 rank platinum and I still get people like this on my team.

He may just come from a LoL/DOTA background and not understand that is not the proper way of playing HotS. My win rate has actually gone up recently when I've adopted the strategy of "If there is a red player on the minimap near a friendly drop everything and go kill him." And of course I've always preferred to do the wrong thing with my entire team instead of doing my own thing which I consider right and then getting furious no one followed me. If your entire team goes left when you go right even if its the wrong move you're suddenly the idiot for doing the wrong thing in the circumstances of not having a team or leaving your team out to dry by giving them a 4v5.

That ridiculous Abathur/Zeratul right click build yesterday did crazy work on this map.

They went full right click build on Zera (with Aba/Tass) supporting, crushed El Nexo (Team Liquid) on this map and TL had a really good comp (would have said TL won in draft etc.). Worth a watch on the vod if you have the time. Gamers2 looks so good lately.

I haven't booted up Abathur since his changes. I feel I should. I always loved playing him until they curb stomped him into the ground.
