Heroes Closed Beta Patch Notes -- January 13, 2015

Just starting to go through these, holy fuck game abandonment, if someone leaves during the draft phase that person's whole team loses ranked points, I can't imagine this stays this way, so many ppl will leave just to troll.

And cloak nerfed aaaaaand resurge removed, lol.

Resurge was basically revive right?

Even more reason to play MURKY!

yeah. was totally broken.

also, nova now heals in stealth automatically. lol.
Clones moving, nice. clones no longer body blocking. boo.

they buffed falstad's flight. lol.(well fly away)

I find Murky fun because he is so different from any other hero. Until he gets his ult, he does almost nothing in team fights.. perhaps killing someone low with envenom. Both of his ult's are pretty good, but I think I prefer Octo-Grab. I've solo killed quite a few Nova just with fish + octo-grab + envenom. The healing bubble talent makes him 1000% better.

Read it again, they may have changed the wording but currently it says all of the leaver's party members lose points.

It's only if you're partied. If you party with retards who leave, then you have only yourself to blame. At least that's my understanding, Dota does the same kinda, if someone abandons, everyone who's in the same party also get an abandon, to prevent people rotating who abandons and shit.

Ah ok, I didn't associate party w/ only pre-mades, that makes sense.

I think she only regens if you take Advanced Cloaking talent. Not that it matters too much you rarely just chip down a Nova she's either dead or alive.

Nerd chills.

Dudebro_sl · Jan 13, 2015

I was just reading on the alpha forums last night a bunch of suggestions to remove resurgence of the storm or give it to everyone. I see they listened and removed it.

Tenks · Jan 13, 2015

The calls for removal of resurgence are not new. I made a submission on the heroes subreddit two months ago saying it needs to be either removed, heavily nerfed or reworked that had a bunch of good discussion in it.

Vitality · Jan 13, 2015

League removed revive from various game modes for a reason.

Ya and at least DOTA 2's buyback is a steep price with a long cooldown.

Now they just need to invite me because I'll playing the fucking shit out of this game, whenever they decide to let me sigh.

It's a decent game but it really just makes me want to play LoL more.

Dudebro_sl · Jan 13, 2015

I've played the shit out of both LoL and Dota 2. I'm tired of them and their long games and certain mechanics. I do not want to play a single match for 45 minutes+ anymore. I just don't.

Well you definitely won't in Heroes of the Storm. I think my longest game has been like 28 minutes. Most of my games have averaged between 18-22 minutes in length. I'm currently level 23 and mostly solo que so I don't know if team play is longer but solo que appears to average 20 minutes a game.

This is the best part about Heroes. Since my other main competitive game was Starcraft2 which was, on average, about 18 minutes per match trying to play DOTA2 felt so long, slow and boring. Heroes is very fresh in that a game takes a bit over 20 minutes on average. Maybe even on average more in the teens.

Also a reminder to anyone looking for invites. check your bnet account directly. don't wait for an email.
And, if you do check email, check your spam folder/junk.

I am pretty sure I never got an email.

Reiterating this, check your blizzard launcher thing. HotS will just show up there.

I got in last spring and got my email about it about 6 days after it popped up in my launcher and I was already playing.

This was also how I noticed.
