Little, Funny, Obscure Things in HotS

Just today, I discovered that when Greymane gets to a 100 hit combo during Inner Beast, it stops tracking your hit counter and just changes to an infinity symbol. They could’ve just said “99+” or something, but the infinity is a really cute touch with a unique graphic. This was in an AI game and I was trying to see how how high I could get it. It’s not easy to get that many hits even in AI, so I’d never seen that before.

Are there any other rare, funny interactions like that that you’ve ever seen?

I once watched Fan play a Tychus game on stream with In the Rhythm at level 4 and That’s the Stuff! at level 13. They were dominating early and mid game, but it soon got to the point where Fan’s Minigun lasted so long that the expected heal after Minigun finished would give him a pretty much a full heal, but because the delay was so long he’d consistently get killed before the Minigun finished, and he lost the game as a result.

I only just realised that Murky has a full blown hearth animation.

It made me realise that i never hearth with murky.

When you get into extremely late game Mura Avatar or stacked Diablo goes from a Barcode Healthbar to big Chunks.

Another thing Alex blessing on 20 works with health multipliers (Diablo souls, Murky big fish) not sure if this is still a thing.

In my Jaina’s build I have more shields than health, and Jaina herself becomes as thick as a tank :)))

Xul is the reverse of Lux, which means “Light” in latin.

Odin comes in and saves the day.

There is a way to abuse this with Odin. Ends minigun instantly and you heal to full.

Too bad it has a pretty long cooldown though :smiley:

If you are playing a hero with an on-demand Unstoppable, and Qhira Es onto you, you can drop her where you like (most people do know this). If Qhira Ds onto you, you can take her for a ride! Her E has built in CC, where her D is just a displacement.

Watching an enemy KTZ stuff up his combo thanks to your unstoppable is also satisfying.

Rare?

Omni skinned, Auriel with flight at level 20 has its own special music when you are launching into the sky.

I mean, what percentage of players have taken that combo before?

Rare voice lines:

Auriel using ressurect on xul

Xul: True ressurection? Impossible!

Tychus isn’t renowned for his abathur hunting capabilities…but when he does:

Tychus: What the hell did I just kill?

If you look at Ragnaros’ skin during character selection, you can rotate him around and see runes at his base that show “GG.”

Also, its somewhat well-known by now, but if you are viewing a hero in the shop and spin them around a bunch, they experience the “dizzy” effect. Love that tiny detail!

Except DW who is Unstoppable even there but in return, he flies away if you click “next hero”.

didn’t I tell you that?

omg zoo tycoon flashbacks where you spin the world too much and the people scream

I think you may have

Already posted before, but it’s my favourite interaction so I post it again. Samuro is the only hero with an interaction when he kills Lunara’s Wisp. Considering that the wisp is a serious threat to him it’s kind of relatable to give him this special interaction.

Spawning at hearth is a fun surprise for everyone when your egg is killed right as your spawn timer gets to 0

Even though it was supposedly patched Sylvanas’ Withering Fire arrows once in a blue moon still come down with the zoomies if the target dies before they get there. It’s like watching a drunk magical murder fly zooming around doing circles.

Noticed one funny thing with Deckards hearthing animation for the first time just yesterday. As you know, he will open a portal to jump through after a few seconds.

If you hearth while standing on a conveyer belt on Volskaya, while Deckard himself gets transported further down the belt, the portal on the other hand will open up at the location where the hearthing process started, making Deckard basically just jump away through nothing instead of the portal.
