I want my game back. I love HOTS with a passion, my favorite game. I have 5000 total hero levels and have been playing for 6+ years. Right now, QM is not fun to play. It’s not enjoyable to have to play Valla every single game. Heroes of the Storm is completely unbalanced and broken right now. Valla recently got reworked today and unfortunately she is still overtuned. Her W build, although cut in half, can still easily be stacked. In a 15 minute ARAM, she can do upwards of 150,000 hero damage while the second highest is around 95,000. In QM, she can easily pump out 190,000+ hero damage. The level 20 strafe talent is still broken. I have been playing since the beta. I’ve seen Garrosh Q pull, Li-Ming orbs pulling people in and all of the other broken heroes that were released, but the Valla rework was by far the most unbalanced thing i’ve ever seen in my 6 years of playing. It’s nice to see that Heroes are getting reworks and stuff but the Valla rework seems to be a little strong. Thank you for the continued support of the game, but please fix Valla.
In response to everyone saying ARAM doesn’t matter: IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT MODE YOU PLAY, VALLA IS STILL BUSTED, YOU GUYS ARE COMPLETELY MISSING THE POINT.
Okay but you couldn’t have played more than 1 or 2 games against her in that time frame.
And ARAM is pretty much never considered when discussing balance changes. In the event that a hero is considered too powerful for that specific mode, they’re simply removed from it.
Stacking spell is always op in ARAM. Now try and see how much dmg she will end up doing in a qm or ranked game instead where people wont be stacking up like they learned nothing of KT.
Even in QuickPlay or Ranked, the fact that her abilities can scale in damage that much without a cap is an issue. Look at Azmodan for example, there is a cap on Globe of Annihilation for a reason. Same with KT Flametrike, Chromie Dragon’s Breath, Ragnaros Sulfuras, etc
Talents without cap like Illidan’s basic attack boost or Zul’jin stack up very slowly in comparison. Even Arthas with his Frostmourne quest does not have a cap, but how many have you seen get out of hand? It’s melee range, on a higher cooldown, can be cancelled with blind or just walking away and poking.
I don’t think her stacking abilities need the BAN hammer, they can still be fun. But they need to be balanced in comparison to similar abilities from other heroes.
No. It is not fairly easy to counter. She can do so much poke damage and then just kill everyone with level 20 strafe. It is rediculously overpowered. And everyone saying that the game is not balanced for ARAM, its not balanced for QM either. She’s broken in all modes. If you can’t see that you’re blind.
Orphea with the Q build? I haven’t tested it yet but is it really going to be strong? It’s harder to land and be consistent at compared to Trait build.
Valla needs to get hit hard, much harder than today’s little feather tickle on multishot.
Hungering Arrow needs to be nerfed by at minimum 50%. For such an ez point-click ability on a low cd, it shouldn’t be doing anywhere near the amount of damage it does.
That spell also has a total of 3 different means by which to gain it’s output.
The fact you are spouting literal falsehoods like this honestly makes me think you are just too passionate about this to make an objective call
They literally halved the amount she gains and newsflash, W was the only one people were complaining about and were using to get the 100K damage consistently, heck case and point despite people like me using it more then W, Q build actually needed a buff which it also got.
To be fair remember there is also the “oooh shiny” effect going on with everyone who got hit like that
heck I saw the same thing happen last time Qhira got talent reworks and yet she settled back down into the B list spot she’s in today.
