And on that note - absolutely disjoint from your post quoted…
We should have signed up for Nations Cup, I just watched our first match and I think we could have made a difference.
Or not, but then I can use my silver badge as an excuse.
I was suspicious of the video duration but didn’t expect six minutes. It’s even short for a massage.
What kind of video? 
This, very glorious one.
For Zhe Germans.
Not sure what happened, to be frank. It looks like slow reactions and all.

It would’ve been fun! The germans drafted a really nasty team against us poor hungarians.

I’ve been in a losing streak lately and it’s making me question myself. Also a lot of toxic players ouf. And they think people are dumb enough to accept their friend invite so they could scream at them. Just don’t trust anyone who was muted in your games. They’re not usually a team player nor are they likely to be in a healthy state of mind.

Illidumb dived passed a fort to kill a Li-ming (disastrous I know) but I had a little faith since Illidumb is fairly mobile…
anyway came running past me with less than 200 HP the fort I was destroying as a sonya picked him to target since he was technically closer
and then he got angry cus I could have saved him?
yeah, let me get me hacker skills I can fix that me lad, let me

(proxs if you read that)
so he muted me
then I got highest siege and hero damage (to you and me its not that important but eh) and he then said and I quote “well done tempest sonya thumbs up”
what the actual hell is a tempest sonya, am I to be insulted?

I know this is a questionable act, but picking CS instead of Taunt is not an instant loss! I’d argue that demoralizing your team causes more losses than the lack of a tank (or any role for that matter).
I played two matches as Varian within 2 days. Won one, lost one. In the match I won, everyone was on point… following me and following up on my Smash’s. Things went great even without a tank. Team just worked well together. In the match I lost, right at level 4, I picked CS. Right away, Morales sat and typed about it and died. Then continued to complain while dead. Chromie said gg, Xul said gg, and surprisingly Lunara still had a fighting spirit, however it didn’t last long. This game I had zero follow up, everyone was always split, and they just tried to split push leaving us separated all game.
I know, I could have picked Taunt, I get it, don’t want to hear it. I understand I didn’t do all I could but my complaint here isn’t about my loss but more so how players will quickly give up if something doesn’t go their way. How was the first team able to keep themselves together and focused on winning despite my decision to leave my team without a tank while another team just throws in the towel right at level 4 when it is still clearly anyone’s game? Sounds like some people are capable of adapting and keeping their morale and others just have a quitter’s attitude at the first sign of trouble. Had this second team kept their cool and not caused everyone on our team to be demoralized we could have won, because we had really good chances.
played six games today, every single one had a leaver
game is telling me to f off, i hear it.

ASCII table my beloved.
no standard binary nothing more
picking cs/twinblade over taunt is mostly something you need to decide if you can or not. If you are facing a team that already got a weak backline and a tank that cant protect them and your own team han handle stuff well enough without having you standing guard for them then twinblad/cs will get more value then taunt.
I have won plenty of games with cs varian cause I pick it into a comp it works with and at the same time I evaluate if enemy team has hero that can shut me down. If it has then I go for taunt insteed. You got about 4 lvls to figure out if cs is best or not.
But what drags most teams down are the varians that blindly pick cs/twinblade into everything and then rage quits pre-10 and leave his team outnumberd and without a frontline.
I can read it just fine without any conversions, this is clearly a sign that I need a break from string shenanigans.
It’s a meme to cry about it.
Varian has a lot of tanky tools without Taunt. The ultimate question is, which choice complements your team. Sometimes I do TB tank, when I have too little follow up in my team. Also, watching some of Khaldor, it appears that teams with a tank struggle against teams without.
HotS meta looks like coding practices, people do them because Silly Martin wrote a book in smartpants style, not because they work. (I’ve yet to see a single project where they do.)
That said, I’ve yet to come across a good CS play. Maybe the move itself is fine, but outside of it, he really is a lane minion, and his role is to deliver in multiple fronts. Being a suicidal Kel’thuzad projectile won’t do it.

I tend not to go for CS Varian because I tend to stay away from anything that requires my team mates to do something logical. Like following up.
yeah… I would be suprised if you were the first person to say that

Taunt need follow up too so you end up in a dead end anyway.
Without follow up then it does not matter how good of a tank you are. Also a reason why most tank players dont solo que but plays in groupes were cordination are much higher then your average team in qm that plays like a blind mouse.

Alright.
I am getting confident that I’ve solved the Heroes of the Storm maximalisation game, be it rank, fun, winrate, whatever.
At least in QM.
If you lose, close the game for the day.
I don’t know the exact causes, but the method I decided to follow this season is actually the way to best results.
I had a fair season thus far, including the last two weeks, some easier and some harder matches. I lost yesterday with Chen (absolutely useless trash), today with Varian (I enjoy him, had a close match today but his winrate can never exceed 40% - sometimes awesome, a little more often trash).
Now, I felt the itch so decided to play one more session with Jaina while listening to my latest mix. Two things that make me happy. My seasonal score on Jaina is 4:1, lifetime 56%, should be fine.
W-R-O-N-G - 4 losses in a row. Mix over, stopping.
The amount of coordination, ideas and precision of execution felt very close to what I’d expect in a Khaldor tournament. Traps, combos.
Now, take your pick
- I’m in the loser queue today (makes no sense but well)
- I left my brain in the bed
- I am adjusted today (I was consistently matched as Diamond)
- There actually is hero specific MMR and in fact brutal (matching the range of Heroes Profile, you can be Master with one and Bronze 20 with another)
- There actually is massive hero level adjustment (Bronze 5 on level 50 hero, you are now matched as Diamond 3)
- Some kind of an awkward combination, which basically puts Jaina in a literal 0% winrate situation (where even Fan would struggle to exceed 10%) - hard carry self-sustain do-everything adjusted…
- Engagement engine figured my pattern and tries to maximise my match count
- First match of the day MMR reduction
Whichever or other, if you lose, close the game for the day.
I did actually go on 15 loss streak twice, and today feels like it could be the third instance, but like I said, mix is over and I’m over to do something else.
remembers that one time they lost to AI because of two leavers and a sonya that ignored everyone
