After all this time I still address specific talents by their outstanding color or mechanic. I remember by heart what each hero has access to on all talent tiers but if you were to put a gun to my head I wouldn’t be able to attach a name tag to most of them.

I do not mind in game chatter but it becomes a problem when people just sit in a lane using a match as a makeshift discord. Being down two people against even Adept A.I can make a match about as much fun as folding a load of laundry.

People that select Veteran or Elite A.I to then pretend to be merc camps has the rest of the team wishing that they could turn on friendly fire.

they need to learn how to multitask that’s for sure
I had to text my friend since we had plans to go out later that day but I still played fairly well fenixing around the place
granted it looked like I was lag spiking but what can you do, i still maintained maximum dmg output

10k damage Alarak all game, Anduin and Uther had 20k+ damage… he was the least damage dealer out of all 10 players

Then I get teamed up with a noob Jaina with 11k damage all game, the other Jaina had 55k damage… she was the least damage dealer out of all 10 players…

FFS…

Haven’t played for two months and what is left of the game feels like a disaster. In all three matches players seemed to be unfamiliar with any advanced concept besides attack moving into the enemy with stronger numbers.

Like swarming a keep and instead of not drawing fire, guy casually lasers an enemy hero and dies to the tower. Some 25min later starts complaining over something with his 20k damage while others are hovering around 100k. His friend Orphea sees an enemy team taking boss and wastes Feast on an a random in a completely different direction, throws a full base vs empty core scenario where we were winning 3v5 anyways.

Other match I literally threw a guy off camp with Artanis 15 times. He casually kept clearing it for me and tried to fight me on point every time. Then I check the stats and no player in any of the games has been within 500 mmr of me.

About a week worth of stim packs from chests had auto activated and gone to waste :confused:

To the team comp who picked two stitches, an Anduin, and Junk in ARAM and then decided to pointlessly prolong the game for 30 minutes with a hook/gorge fest. I hope you all get herpes from that circle jerk.

Reminds me of the 5 stack I faced like 4-5 years ago. They were just farming kills on os while they ignored object. Ofc we had no chance to teamfight them how are ou suppose to do that with a full squicy mage team and enemy have full stealth team with Butcher and Reghar jumping on you.

Either way my team ended up having 3 bots after 20 min of being farmed and Zera/Nova from the other team just sneaked up to our base and start dancing in front of us.

Game did not end before after 45 min where catapults took core down. And the premade had not once tried to go after the object once cause they were just waiting for us to come out so they farm us again.

The four braindead morons I just got grouped with in Braxis Holdout decided to play the match like it’s ARAM.

Sure we got 10 more kills than they did, but we also lost all the objectives, and the match, in less than 15 minutes.

Death penalty for all of them.

There isn’t a whole lot more frustrating while playing as KTZ than dealing with a Lucio that uses their Soundwave because it has a cooldown. Usually when a combo is pulled off with them getting knocked safely out of Shadow Fissure’s yeet zone. Or knocked out of Frost Nova’s area before it goes off.

Or just using it because boops are cool.

Queue as melee and got to play play against 4 ranges including Jaina with Murky on team so both of us are all but useful. Asked my Lunara to do something, she didn’t, and by level 20 she couldn’t collect 20k siege damage. 2000 hero mmr after 100 levels, even worse than their account average by 300 points. This is complete nonsense of matchmaking. How can someone not have a basic grasp of a hero after so many games.

Most of the matches where I’ve played solo, my impression is many people aren’t really trying very hard to win, the notion that Hots is the casual MOBA seems to be true.

I’ve also noticed many players like the one you mention, if you look their HP, they may not have played for a few months and/or once played mostly with friends. Skills are rusty (I know I am on some heroes), and the poor MM is to be expected considering the state of Hots.

My biggest salt is reserved for those players who are sitting on account levels over 2k, who still don’t know basic rotations, camp timing, or to glance at their mini map. Smurfs have also had a negative impact on QM and probably the low ranks in SL. I understand your frustration and I feel it too sometimes, but then I just remind myself Hots might not be around this time next year. People just care less these days, and often don’t try as hard as they once might have.

You may not be playing to win in a macro sense and your decision making might not be ideal for the composition, but if you don’t cover the lane when someone else is taking mercenaries or you don’t even try to flex on a specific weaker hero, then what are you doing?

If you aren’t winning a duel, just being in the right place could be enough to deter a stronger player from obliterating a lane. I may get the impression that the player is clueless because of how they traverse the map over the first five minutes because I can see them all the time, but the opponent won’t know how bad someone is at a first glance if they’re holding back. And when it is time to go afk for a moment, they stagger deaths. Thus far me and everyone else have died 7 times and this guy dropped dead only once. Not because they’re smart but completely absent and unreliable.

And somehow they have the worst score in the game which cannot redeem them in any way. Call me stupid, request something, disagree over another thing because otherwise this what you are spending time on isn’t really a team game.
