I just wish they would add in ranked or at least make it so solo queue wasn't just blind picks
Heroes of the Storm
- Thread starter Mures
- Start date
Some good bundles are up for sale as well. I can't remember them all but I think the Starcraft bundle was only 5 bucks and it included 3 heroes, 1 skin and 1 mount.

Reset mmr makes me sad playing with pants on head retards.
Are there replays now? One of the matches I played last night my team dominated in kills, but we still soundly lost the game I believe due to azmodan. Every time I'd go to defend a fort in a lane that was pushed back I'd get gigantic fireballs chucked at me from off screen. They did crap damage at first, but I still don't like the idea of being able to siege a fort with no repercussions.
Also the two new heroes are 15,000 gold, but still cost 9.99. I wonder if they are going to increase the $ cost on those heroes, decrease the $ cost on 10,000 gold heroes (which are still 9.99) or it was intentionally implemented this way just to get ppl to spend cash on new heroes.

The orb-tossing doesn't reflect the Azmodan fight in D3 at all. Weren't they slow moving orbs of death in D3? I think that'd be a better way to balance the ability - slow moving/long range orb that moves to targeted location but you can body block it or something like that.
Yeah the reset MMR makes for some very one sided games. I went 1-1 last night and one game we flat out dominated then the next we just got flat out dominated. Wasn't very fun.
The 15k gold is going to be the standard initial price for new heroes. I think after a week or so it'll get moved down to it's normal price. Although I hope $10 isn't the standard price for all new heroes. I'm shocked Azmodan isn't cheaper since he's such a niche hero.
I love the new Infested Tychus additions. They made it so his Drill and Thor are both infested as well and his grenade now explodes like a baneling.

The mmr reset is crushing my soul. Lost three in a row last night. The enemy team had their shit together - ours was a mess. Almost hit level 10 on Kerrigan after three games though. I swear every group fight I mal > ravage only to get immediately gorged by stitches. I don't know why he isn't in every team pick. Even without sprint he's such a beast.
As a basic tip if things are going poorly just direct your team to follow you around. In general 5 people doing the wrong thing is better than smaller fragments going around doing the right thing. Too often people seem to think that trying to solo merc camps and defending pushes in each lane is better than just deathballing and it rarely is unless the team is coordinated.

Yeah, of course pinging a lot helps, but the truely bads still don't know what to do. I love it when you siege a position and either become outnumbered or run oom so you ping retreat a hundred times, type in chat, b, oom, ping merc camps and then shortly after the rest of your team gets wiped out allowing the enemy team to take all the merc camps.

I usually try to get the group organized, announce priority of targets, but sometime people just have their blinders on and do their own thing. A more mobile enemy team retreats to heal and re organize and there's usually a player or two that will inevitably chase right after them. It's fine, I can't get mad, just hoping to get the first dozen or so games will get me out of the fresh player pool.
The player pool is still to shallow to not get idiots on your team. In fact having a really high personal MMR makes you more likely to get morons on your team. It seems to just find 10 people (with light class matching) and makes it so Team1's total MMR ~= Team2's total MMR. So the game can effectively pretend like your MMR makes you so good you can make up for the other 0 MMR person on your team. When instead it would be better to have 5 average people instead of 1 great, 1 terrible 3 average.
Eventually when ranked comes out hopefully it will try and pair you up with people who all have similar MMR. But with only a few thousand people online the system is more concerned with just finding you a game.
