Salt Mines - Deposit all your anger here!

whitemane I just played with said that I needed to keep basic attacking while I had zeal on me so that she would get healed.

and would NOT reread the tooltip.

Guess he had mistaken Whitemane for Auriel. How can people even do that.

teamate doesn’t trust me going vikings while bronze, i explain in general how the character works to build some trust, he doesn’t care picks a solo laner whatever, while we were arguing i get autolocked, which is fine cuz the enemy goes a butch comp (which generally aren’t that good), i tell the team to be careful in the first teamfight, 3 of them die to butch, i tell them that this match probably won’t go well due to the start, i do my job WHILE FEEDING BUTCHER LESS THEN THE ENTIRE REST OF THE TEAM, teamates call me out for being several words I won’t say for not getting camps w e r e b e l o w l e v e l 2 0, god why do I even bother with ranked, atleast people who are uninformed in qm aren’t narcicistic as hell. overall lad ended up saying i should stay in bronze, quit the game, quit playing ranked, that I was a tool (several times), and didn’t bother getting his facts straight even though I did nothing but explain in full how every stage of the game worked, as far as I’m aware when there is a fed butcher vikings should absolutely never be camping by themselves, and honest to god I’m impressed they had the audacity to call me out after repetitively being the cause of my problems that game.

Braxis.

The enemy tank has blinds, the enemy healer has blinds. If you were a Valla, which build would you pick?

playing Sky Temple ranked, last pick rag, things are going poorly, we flip a teamfight and make a push onto core.

then everyone else on the team decided instead of racing the solo boss on core, to fight each keep

we lost.

if we had dps’d core we would have won off that one flip. but nooo gotta take out EVERY KEEP. smh

Valla was wrong to choose that build, but that Jaina build is… yikes imo.

I don’t want to take sides here, but neither Q nor W build would have achieved much into a Mei-Hogger combo, Ming has spell armor as well suggesting safe play approach and going W build confirms the decision, while Probius might fill the map with destructibles.

As Li Li I lose proportionally more to AA. The blind is nice but her throughput is low.

In this setup I’d argue Valla needs the padding-shredding power while Jaina’s job is to provide the slows and burst down the opponents. Artanis also has chasing potential and while I don’t recognize those talents, I know him as extremely OP so that alone should give confidence. I don’t see Garrosh throwing anyone with effect, maybe the tryhard combo with Artanis godswaps. Then again, Ming might mess it up with teleport so it’s Probius or Li Li.

That being said, the result looks fairly close!

I’d pull rank and show them my winrate(s).
Other than that, bronze is a mix of people with various shortcomings, attitude being one, although I’d attribute it to silver in the past with bronzelands being more of casual happy hippy grounds and gold being serious enough already. By the feels, things have shifted down by one rank.

All in all, that’s why I prefer QM. Play your hero, make the most of it. Bad winrate? Probably shouldn’t torture yourself. Good winrate? All good.

Anyway, bruiser became sort of mandatory for peeling purposes, especially to people who can’t think out of the box anyway. Consequently, there is hardly room for TLV. I know I’m saying that about most supports, and I mean it. Your best bet is to find a few like minded people and fill all necessary roles between yourselves, only looking for a ranged / healer / tank, depending on the player you get.

I only have 2 friends that play HotS, both of them I’d say are pretty good but they play the same roles, and I’ve learned my lesson from accepting random friend requests from hearthstone kekw

Sooo. What should I do here?

I swear…

Not so hidden, am I right?

I actually have a lot of fondness of double mage, won a lot when I played more SL and had the boldness to claim. (Now I just pick AA and lose, no biggie, I hardly get the spot anyway.) Might be a playstyle thing. Also, lowbies like us are often better off playing comfy heroes.

As for the named and shamed troll - did he feed eventually? Can’t do so forever, might get banned.

Actually, that player turned out to be pretty good. The guy complaining was more of a liability.

That was mostly to try and convince my team not to go with Nazeebo :slight_smile: .

Hey, I didn’t name anyone.

See, that’s why I don’t like double mage.

LMAO. It do be like that sometimes. Maybe they just weren’t in a comfort pick or something.

Guess my opinion about 5 stacks being toxic was indeed currect. Just got face rolled againts one and half of them was spamming sprays half the game like they think they are pro just because they hide in a 5 stack with 10x better comp. Some people in this game just need thier daily ego boost just to fell great about themself againts solo players they would never stood a chance againts alone.

me when shoved into playing Anubarak: “guys I’m really not too good at this character”
team 20 minutes later “yeah Anub’arak was garbage”

:frowning: I only didn’t draft Tyrael/ETC (my main tanks) cause you said not to :(((

EDIT: It’s not that I’m explicitly “bad” at Anub’arak, it’s that it’s way harder to play him in solo queue compared to a group scenario with real coordination. With E.T.C, you have enough tools to both coordinate well and do stuff alone.

Sadly the report system just causes a slippery slope.

Hooray, another duo of crap matches
Hooray, another Samuro should be bruiser and get -75% hp on clones and -30% damage done on everything
Hooray, another delete Abathur match
Hooray, Orphea needs +20% health and +25% damage on everything
Thanks

Playing Heroes is like trying to hug a dead woman
It has the shape and the features, but it’s already dysfunctional

Sure, Heroes looks like a game, it loads, it draws stuff, it communicates with the servers
But it has close to zero rank confidence or worse, ability to create fair matches
Whether it’s a plat 2 in a prime time low silver ranked match
Or a Master in a supposedly low silver QM
And a Bronze 8, level 4 Samuro that executes way too well

I am an idiot for trying to enjoy playing this dead game
Still twitching, still warm
But already oozing away
And when I realize what I am doing I cannot resist but vomit
