That shit needs to go away, immediately. There's a reason League was 2 max can queue together at a time and Teams is a separate ladder, I don't even know why it's different in HotS. I just started playing so i'm still leveling up but if I start playing HL and 5-stacks stay a thing vs solo queuers then I won't be playing very long. Fuck that noise.Grubby is the only decent HoTS streamer. All the others form up 5 mans and go stomping hero league. Not that fun to watch.
The problem is that when your MMR is at a certain level, you don't really have a choice but to group up. The matchmaker will just ruthlessly fuck you every time. When I solo Q, the average team setup is something along the lines ofGrubby is the only decent HoTS streamer. All the others form up 5 mans and go stomping hero league. Not that fun to watch.
LoL's answer is 45+min queue times for guys in your bracket, but maybe some other work could be done to innovate. Think of some type of flattening to the enormous MMR boost you give to a team: if the game determines the R1+++ composes X percentage of total team MMR, then reduce R1+++s MMR in the calculation by Y percent. If that makes sense.So yeah, I can't even solo q if I wanted to. The system basically ensures a miserable experience because my real MMR is in the 0.001% at this point.
Pyros has good advice, you might also consider taking Ice Block at 13 over the auto rejuv, you can block during Tranq and become immune while still pushing Tranq out (nothing interupts tranq except you dying, this just makes you invuln while you do it) which allows you to position dangerously for your team and anchor a fight point. It might also fuck you if everyone runs away or somehow gets wiped with Tranq up but it is something you see more of at higher mmr.I picked up Malfurian.
For an easy tier support champion he's a big pain in the ass compared to spam-q Lili.
Any tips or advice?
You're in luck Titan Arena was announced recently so you can put together the Gamers @ Shady Oaks Retirement Home team and get roflstomped in hilarious fashion. I'd tune in.Is there a limit on how many people can observe a custom match?
I'm asking because we have more casual friends who are just getting into hero league and would like to do 5 man's in ranked, but really they need more experience before doing competitive 5-man play. And they need meaningful practice, not stomps or slaughters. We had a really good 5 man quick match last night, 38m spider tomb map, but those are very rare, its usually feast or famine. They have said they would put in work to improve so I'm considering starting a league night where we could meet one night a week and practice against another 5-man. It would be like 5-8 of us since I'm sure not everyone would make it every week so it would be nice if the people not playing the game could observe and really needed because we could observe them in game and point out things they should know/be doing.
It seems like there are a number of rerolled bros on in the evening now, if I did something like this I figured I'd ask here first to see if we could get a team going, if not I'll try teamliquid's website. So do we have 5-7ish people here that would be interested in meeting one night a week, we'll give you our mumble info and we can play some games together? I don't know what night of the week yet, but I assume it would be a mon-thurs night and would be between ~8:00-10/10:30 cdt. I'd say our mmr ranges from bronze to diamond so anyone could join really, just be lvl 30 and have at least 10 heroes we would do a draft phase on heroes draft.
