I understood why no one plays this game

and I’ve said that all the bad theories you have regarding this game have been debunked and they’re only repeated by players that refuse to learn more or improve at the game – the implication being that players stop believing that crap when they’re got a modicum more skill at the game, or rather, they get more skillfull at the game when they stop using bad excuses to justify repeating the same mistakes instead of asking how they can improve.

There’s a link to one of my posts that copy/pastes replies from other games. That post used ‘recent’ examples of complaints, but it’s not as if I couldn’t find similar complaints that are older than you are. That isn’t a jab to say you’re ‘young’, but it’s instead the reality that these sort of complaints persist for longer than people realize, and there’s more reason to why they get repeated from one game to the next by the same sort of players.

As I posted before, you don’t seem to know what makes a “fact” a fact, nor do you seem to understand the concept of the “burden of proof”. If you expect people to trust your claims, then you need to be the one to prove it. Demanding someone else “look it up” is ineffective and disingenuous.

If l look up something for “heroes of the storm” my search history, cookies, region (ISP) and default language are going to prioritize results that are different from what you would find. Similarly, the same information isn’t accessible in other languages without specific commands to so do, and if I didn’t hound you so much about a ‘language barrier’ wouldn’t know what language modifications I’d have to apply to a search to remotely approximate what you might have found. (There’s a topic I could link to a similar complication but for spanish when the poster was absolutely convinced of something due to reading it on wikipedia, but it hadn’t occurred to them that wiki’s can have incorrect information)

The US wiki of heroes of the storm Heroes of the Storm - Wikipedia
has 94 citations, several of which are actually dead links
The Deutsch wiki for HotS Heroes of the Storm – Wikipedia is not a translation of the US version: it has different information, opinions, and citations. And it also has dead links. If either of those pages influenced your concern for “forced 50%” I might not be able to find what you said to “look up”

The value of people providing their “proof” stems from providing a means to actually see what someone found instead of presuming that they too would magically find the same thing despite the evident complications of links regarding a ‘dead game’ not staying active. Especially if it’s “news” articles that may have posted updates or retractions that someone may not have noticed from years ago.

Furthermore, the assertion that I should “look it up” neglects that reality that I have ‘looked it up’ and have spent years trying to explain things to people.

Here’s something I “looked up” that you could technically find on a google search: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/heroes/search?q=forced%2050%25%20%40Xenterex-1540

That’s a list of posts I’ve written that contain the characters “forced 50%” for what is mostly likely topics concerned with many of the same complaints you have repeated on these forums. Just as you have stated that somethings haven’t changed in 8+ years, some of the superstitions players post is one of them.
