That’s higher than when Karthus (League) was literally permanently invincible.
Nazeebo used to be the most balanced hero. Then you quadrupled his damage because your designers have extra chromosomes.
Why aren’t you doing your jobs? When real companies see something that’s unbeatable, they do emergency fixes. They don’t leave it in the game for several years.
Hey Shard, here’s a magic tip: your imaginary stats aren’t the same stats that the devs have. Their stats don’t have a spike that big, so they’re not doing something about it as indicated by them not doing something about it.
Maybe you stopped taking meds, being sufficiently hydrated, getting enough exercise, or lapsed some other imbalance to your day so you’re not ‘firing on all cylinders’ but time and again, you sell yourself short with effectual lies, and then try to blame anyone else for that instead.
When you do that enough, you fall into ruts of faulting others in ways that get you in ‘trouble’ and time and again you find something else to blame over and over again. That’s part of why you copy/pasting the same topic over and over again hasn’t magically transformed blizzard from being owned by activision or microsoft, and turned it into whatever dream you envisioned years ago.
Blaming others for imagined grievances doesn’t get them to change because you imagined the offense. Maybe if you picked up a bit more ‘delayed gratification’ and relearned a thing or two about “sources” and “proof” you’d be able to compare the thing you’re complaining about to the thing that ‘any one’ else is seeing, and realize there’s a big difference between those.
Maybe I think the sky should be filled with magically infinite cheesecake, but spending years telling a meteorologist to “do their job” isn’t going to realize that dream because there’s this wonderfully nigh-insurmountable gap between what they do, and what [I] want (in this anecdote)
There are countless debates as to whether Heroes of Might and Magic IV is a good HoMM game, or even a good game in general. Of those thousands of arguments however, the soundtrack has NEVER been in contention. It is incredible.
thats a series ive been meaning to try. whats the best one?
The only one ive played was the one on the GBA when i was a kid and i like it alot : p
Heroes III, but you HAVE to get the GOG version. The Steam version is a garbage cash-grab “remaster” with half the features missing. I also recommend picking up the HD mod which has a bunch of quality-of-life features, and maybe Horn of the Abyss for a bunch of free AAA-grade content.
If you do want one on Steam, Heroes V is also really good.
I just checked the Nazeebo win rate in Aram via Heroes Profile, and he sits comfortably on 52% win rate… OP what are you smoking?
patch just dropped, so at a specific moment in time, with specific filters, a reading back when it had like 10 games uploaded might have had “80% winrate” for a single moment.
They’ve made their own stats parser, but the data put into it is going to be narrow, and prone to skews and bias. OP rolls new alt accounts sub lvl 200, has some two or three dozen of them now, and who knows if they’re reacting to the winrate on their latest alt, or some amalgamation of those.
iirc, they actually used to use Hotslogs instead of heroesprofile, and that site was broken for years. Maybe they still have a webarchive version up of a single stats page and keep referencing that instead.
It’s not like they’ll ever convey how they got the results, otherwise they’d know to react less to bad spikes of data.
There’s an argument to be made that the Conflux was more of a bug than a feature, given how broken that town is.
That’s why you play with Horn of the Abyss. Makes Conflux (and Necropolis, let’s not forget how busted base Necro is too) much more balanced.
More importantly though, the Steam version doesn’t support the HD mod, which means no hotkeys for splitting stacks, no checking creature bank sizes, and no turn order UI.
Also Conflux is my baby. Coolest faction. I could never play without it.
Any AoE healer can easily to counter Nazeebo, especially a sustain one. I do not understand what thou meant. I almost always see different healers in Aram.
Nazeebo is one of the heroes that would need a spell damage nerf in ARAM. But there is no system like that and also no developers.
The number tuning engineers still working on this game will not develop something like this.
This is not only about Nazeebo himself and the healers, but also about other heroes, as well as the skills of playing them, that is, the human factor. For example: not everyone hath self-healing or magic armor, not all players take them, etc. Thou art thinking too narrowly.
Dat bloke is makin da sense!
Btw, happy birthday Xen. 
Thanks?
The same to you.

ARAM is a cesspool sheet fest… no amount of buffs and nerfs can save it…
You’re either dealt amazing heroes for ARAM or sheet heroes…
They can buff tracer 600% and people would still complain
Of course it would work. The market leader game of the Genre called LoL shows it. You can literally play everything because broken AOE spells are nerfed in that mode. If you offer a mode it’s your responsibility to balance the game for it as well. Blizzard was busy in Cosby suite.
Good taste, it’s also my favorite track from HoMM4
Sure it was imba, but guys from HotA have nerfed a bit this town.
I never had the impression that ARAM was supposed to be balanced, as heroes were not designed for a one lane map. I enjoy how messy and scrappy ARAM can be, it often forces unorthodox strategies, where otherwise, lackluster talents or builds can really shine.
Broken heroes like Hammer, or talents like Rag’s Lave Wave or Mephisto’s Spite deserve to be removed or disabled, but you will never come close to achieving any sort of balance in a mode that is designed around a random three hero shuffle pick and more significantly, a blind draft. As I’ve said before, you can make a strong draft, only to find the enemy counters your draft. As with every mode, skilled players with a “bad” draft, can simply outplay the team with a perfect comp.
Definitely.
I like HoMM IV better than V, just saying.
Hey, ya know what, just make ARAM with only bot enemy teams. You would reduce the complaints by 50% that way, it would be way more casual, and the best part myself and other PvE scrubs would be willing to play it!
Most vs A.I matches are unofficially ARAMs anyways with people tunneling middle lane, so may as well just go the whole nine yards.
Everyone would be happy!
Except the diehard complainers. They would just find something else to complain about.
