I keep forgetting Tracer is bad in ARAM. Especially against Taunt Varian.

This and last Wed MP, not nearly as much of note happened these times… only two things of note this time is both last and this Wed, i’ve succeeded in making a Deathwing Lover outta both Fav Pal and Sis, and during this Wed MP, had a amusing moment going into a Match with 2 Randos, and one of them was playing Muradin while going under the Steam Name ā€œDeadā€. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, it is a bit of a late game oriented talent even against A.I and with optimal talents picked. If the match does not last long or teammates delete the A.I too fast its a sub-optimal talent.

Edit: On topic and as an example:

First match of the day. This is slightly below average as far as my matches go with Unfurling Shadows, but I was happy with my performance.

The game has a 4 level difference limit, but you’re 18 vs 13!

Hax!

Huh, really? I got screenshots of other matches like this. I collect five level gaps like their trading cards.

Wanna see a six level difference?

Wanna see another one?

Psst…I gotta ā€˜nother one for ya mon. Just in case ya think we A.I scrubs ain’t breakin’ da laws of physics on a daily.

Rummages around for a possible seven level gap

I think maybe it doesn’t apply to A.I. games.

Nope, though the conditions are extreme enough to not apply in non AI games

If I remember correctly, every level past three the amount of XP gained from stuff is reduced by ~90%, multiplicatively for each level beyond three above the opposing team. Additionally there is an XP bonus for the team that’s behind, meaning that (unless they are getting spawn camped and denied soak) it’s difficult to maintain a 4 level difference and damned near impossible to maintain a 5 level difference.

Assassin Stukov does not exist. He cannot hurt you.

Assassin Stukov:

Stukov with any amount of attack speed buff is scary in the A.I ballpit. I was top hatted pretty much the entire match, and then Morales sauced me up whenever they could.

Also for new comers, that 400+ damage backhand that I thumped Leoric with is slightly above what Stukov used to do at level 1 upon release.

Update: This Uther was good.

Update jr: I ran into an all star team this Saturday morning.

Fav Pal and Sis are getting more hang of Deathwing now and getting so drunk on the power it’s lookin like we’re gonna become a 3 DW Main Group soon… :joy:

Had another game with Li Li and to my surprise I managed to die once for the first time in many many Li Li Games… somehow the game decides I have no right to be on the Board at all cause of it. :stuck_out_tongue: (Yes the Lucio with us out healed me but I pulled loads of other kinds of weight including but not limited to Hero Damage and landing some sweet Water Dragons that secured loads of Kills and had to have been good for my Assists Score.) Was also fun this Match cause my Li Li was assisting loads Sis’s Zul’jin and looked cute alongside Fav Pal’s Chen. (He is a seriously devout lover of Chen… he constantly proclaims him the ā€œGreatest Dive Hero of all timeā€ā€¦)

I also had 2 Matches as Tyrael and i’m so rusty on him… I couldn’t remember how to die and actually use his Trait so his Trait completely went to waste both of those fights… :stuck_out_tongue: (There’s times when I wonder if Tyrael could use something more to his Trait so it ever does anything at all whatsoever for him while he’s not dying… not sure what would work though cause I don’t know him well enough… never played enough Diablo Gaming.)

A friend of mine suggested I should dip my toes back into ranked play. I’ve been playing Hots far less often, and ranked even less so, after I dropped a rank last season.

This season I made the decision not to flex roles very often, at least not in the same session, so I’ve basically been spamming Mei and Blaze. Much to my surprise, I’ve managed to improve my win rate to 60% so far this season, over 30 games. Although that’s a low sample size, I’m still quite satisfied with the improvement, and the games have been mostly fun.

The most enjoyable match I had recently, was when the matchmaker was completely drunk, and threw me into a team of four random Diamond players, vs a full five stack consisting of Diamond and Plats. Thanks to my team for not making any snarky comments about having a filthy Gold 1 on their team.

They were clearly nice people, as they complimented me on my engages and for the two times I managed to Avalanche (most of) the enemy team into our towers. Landing those ult’s was a surprise to me too, as didn’t expect to have much success vs obviously more skilled players. We won, and I received about 100 extra points for that win, sweet!

I’m rarely in SL these days since the quality of players has become very erratic.

But I wish I’d end up on your team when I do.

Very true in my experience, probably due to our MMR range, many new accounts land Silver and with some luck can make it to Gold very quickly. Even if these are more skilled smurfs, their account is often a throwaway, so many of those people don’t put in as much effort to win as they might have on their main.

The fact that I as a Gold was tossed into that match with four Diamond players as an MMR anchor, kind of proves the point. I was playing in peak hour time too. Fun fact, that match I didn’t profile snoop in draft and I didn’t even know I was with Diamond players until the load screen, quite grateful I didn’t select a hero I wasn’t as practiced on as Mei.

Oh, I refuse to play Johanna anymore, she’s too boring, she needs Murky as an apprentice to spice things up.

I think I’ve been matched with you once in QM, that’s it, you’re a tricky Zerg! Perhaps we should all try to arrange a forum match if they add back the ā€œEscape from Braxisā€ brawl.

When exactly do you pick Mei and why?

I’m always put off by her lack of hard CC, so I don’t know what to do with her.
