Dude there’s one Heroes of the Storm SFM and they all just making Marvel trailer remakes, most artists can’t even post their quality artwork they have to link it from other websites at the same time some moderator literally posts images there its laughable. r/HotS is a joke.
r/TF2 sure its a meme fiasco, the game has ALWAYS meme fiasco, but at the same time they didn’t belittle the competitive scene that has grown by itself without enforcing anything, r/TF2 getting that competitive update at the start was overall terrible but it has gotten better, sure hackers are more of an issue but the game has still is fun, playable and has constant stream of artwork videos and trash posts like they always do.
TF2 twitter has an enormous player base size that gets flow of likes and much more, HotS twitter does not exists at all.
At the same time TF2 always stayed on average 60k~ players (Team Fortress 2 - Steam Charts) all these years because of expression, art posting and video content creation was not moderated.
Tbh, I would post my memes about Tassadar on r/HotS instead r/HotSMemes, but “Sorry, but we don’t need your content to make people play our game, go and post it on places, where are almost no people around”.
EDIT: let’s be honest Sami - if there was any modding tool for hots, you would make some maps/Brawls for sure.
The game won’t survive till they build a “new” engine to make HOTS 1.5. By then, no one cares.
The GFX are fine.
Blizz nerfing and buffing will never end. There are too many heroes and skills to perfectly balance something. The players will find the flaws so fast, that they will complain something is not fixed immediately. Balancing takes time and the players have no patience. But hey! Players want even MORE heroes to cause even MORE balancing shenanigans! I’m still sickened by the people who made a huge fuss over the nexus heroes. Nearly 90 old characters aren’t enough for them but 2 original heroes is heresy.
Reworks should be made into a poll for players to get involved in. Blizz is allergic to communicating with the playerbase. Blizz makes the game Blizz wants to play, players be damned. They just happen to want to share their creation with us, and charge us for it. They will NEVER credit players for giving amazing ideas, for free.
The reconnect is of terrible design and is a carry-over from the old recycled engine. Skip “replaying” the file to catch up. Drop us into the game and give us the recording after the game is done. The last moment a player is connected should be the “snapshot” used to place the player back how they were and where they were.
Skin shop should not be a priority on the list. If we are to have a “redo” on the game, everyone will be expecting to have all their virtual crap brought over too. It is obvious what will happen if they don’t. I don’t even care if the entire UI is recycled.
I will admit that the reconnect issue is a problem, but falls under QOL. Which HOTS requires of bunch of. Yet, under a fossil of an engine, is like yelling at a brick wall.
Yet, none of what you suggested will bring players back.
MM requires a healthy pool of players to work properly. Without it, MM is destined to fail.
How does one bring players back to a game where a population is dependent on it’s survival to even work properly?
I mustn’t forget to put a good amount of blame squarely on the shoulders of Activision. Like saying, Amen.
Because it’s a different game with different rules?
I tried to be an active LOL player three times, but the league of legends bored me.
I’ve been playing HOTS since 2016, since Chogall was added. I remember HOTS was a great game, but it had 3 big problems:
return after losing connection
ranking mode
reporting and punishment system
Which of these problems have been fixed or eliminated?
Supposedly (as I read in the official Blizzard post) the return to the match has already been fixed. I don’t know if it’s true because I’ve never had a problem with it. Fortunately, I have a stable connection
Ranking mode was a joke and is still a joke. Each ranking mode update is one step ahead and two steps back.
Was there a change in the reporting system? Yes, one, to report someone for a vulgar language, someone must first write something. Formerly you could report for nothing, now you can report for writing “Hi, anyone can choose support?”. The reporting system is the same joke as the ranking mode.
I know it can’t be done better because the game engine doesn’t allow it, but I know it from the community.
I skip completely removing eSports from this eSports game. I do not believe that it was a HOTS-team decision.
Although I would like to know why HOTS cannot have a system like DOTA2? Does this system not fit into our game or does it have any major disadvantages?
I appreciate the work that has been put into the creation of new heroes, skins, mounts etc. I am very happy with new mechanics, e.g. armor, provocation, sleep, mud that slows down. I dream of a hero who will be able to set up a wall that will block / reflect incoming missiles.
Only how can I enjoy it if 75% of the games are clown fiesta.
Yes yes, I know HOTS is a game for fun after work.
I asked them in a thread if they are keeping the XP Anomaly (as I like it!) and how and if they are going to do a player poll. I feel it’s a serious topic.
It’s way too late for HoTS. Bad balancing, bad game design and horrible MM are what killed the game. They could make reconnecting better even now if they wanted to. The reason why in some ARAMs you can reconnect quickly vs slow old ARAM and regular game reconnects is because first one has no replay to shift through. I doubt anybody would really miss replays and MVP screen that much when in exchange the reconnect system would be a lot faster. Sadly we didn’t exactly have the brightest devs to begin with and now we are left worst of the worst with most devs having left/transferred for other jobs or fired all together.
I guess I didn’t say “devs” but I did that when they removed the damage taken stat and it never got a response either, so I didn’t bother this time. So far the majority of the responses are for keeping it. *I’ll update the thread title.
Ow sorry ive read it wrong
Yeah I agree things like this. The ones they implemented or are in the game. Lets say the wm rework. They never replied to it except for lvl 13 greatstaff was bugged
Considering the IQ of an average player, they’d just start doing everything in their power to inflate that number even further and although it makes no sense at all they would invent some reasoning for doing so. Very likely these people would also complain even more over a mostly useless statistic and judge others’ performance based on it.
When you think about it, it’s just the same as having ALL chat disabled. Not essential and has potential of ruining the game experience because of how someone decides to interpret it.
When you start attaching numeric value to every activity in the game, people are only prone to justifying their spot on the team for no good reason which often leads dumb mistakes against better judgement.
The thing about Nova and Butcher is that they work in Quickmatch, the problem would be fixing them for the other 2 modes without making them even more powerful on the most played mode.
trooooooooooooooo
apart to make AoE Rez work.
