Please Blizzard, give us the auto-selection feature of the talents already. This should have been implemented years ago. It sucks to be on a tf and trying to ping the correct talent, some times you miss the button, either with the mouse or by ctrl + n°. Enable the auto-selection of talents based on current favourite tier selected.
EDIT: People got offended below by asking to thumb up if you share this thought, so I’m not asking for it anymore ?) Feel free to do it if you want to 
Can’t speak for others, but I made a favorite build (E Q W Illusion E Merciless Strikes TBS, or T3122312) to link for people who ask in chat. I didn’t make it to autopick in every single match.
There could be heroes that absolutely require the same build every game with no adaptation to the enemy, the current map etc. whatsoever but I can’t think of any at the moment.
I’m not against the feature, I’m just trying to think why Blizzard would avoid adding a talent autoselect or did not implement it yet. It can teach bad gameplay especially in human matches.
I understand what you say, but this has to be let as optional for the final user, disabled by default.
They gave us this feature so it is easier to share with friends and other players, and also easier to remember builds in heroes we almost never play, especially in Brawl/QM.
I don’t think auto select talents should be a thing tbh, it makes the game too easy. Being fast and your choices and being fast at pressing buttons (like ctrl + 1234) is a skill to master in any moba. Auto select talents would make players to become even more lazy than they already are.
It sucks to lose a game because you pressed ctrl + 3 instead of ctrl + 4 in a try to do a quick talent selection, frustrating really.
Don’t do this. You can have your post removed for begging for upvotes.
If people agree with you, they’ll upvote your post on their own. If you beg for upvotes, not only could you get suspended from the forums, but people will be less willing to upvote your post.
It sucks, but it also sucks when you lose because you missed an ability on someone, or used an ultimate at the wrong time. This is just part of the game.
Then try and make do with what you have.
This is how our ancestors survived mate. This is zoomer mentality mate.
I can’t tell you how many times I accidentally selected the wrong number when doing the key combination and to be honest, it makes the game more fun for me at least.
Of course you guys don’t develop apps for people, and hence, don’t know what is to make the life easier to others. It’s incredible how you believe that missing a talent could be “part of the strategy of the game”, is so funny. I don’t want my enemy to lose because he missed a talent, but I want to win him because I play well, strategically, nothing to be with a wrong talent selection.
It doesn’t hurt anyone to have this feature, if you want to keep manually selecting them, go ahead, I said this have to be optional, go ahead and keep having fun by missing a talent.
yeah, this “selecting a talent is a skill bro” crap is really dumb. personally I wouldn’t have auto-select enabled, but I can see and appreciate why others would want it.
We don’t need to make life easier all the time. This is not a bug or a QoL change. What you are asking is easier gameplay. It is the same as asking for “I want to right click a hero and have my hero auto stutter step without me needing the mechanics to do it myself”.
It is incredible how people don’t see how being fast and precise with your keyboard is a skill you have to master but people keep asking for auto select talents to make their lives easier cause they mess up sometimes.
Like… it doesn’t make any sense.
I want him to lose because he missed a talent. I want him to lose because he messed up his mechanics when selecting a talent. I want him to get nervous for misplaying. I want him to get angry when he starts losing because he selected the wrong talent and my team starts winning. I want his teammates to get angry at him and just throw the game.
This is a competitive game, I want the enemy to lose by messing up. The team who messes up the most is the one that will 99% of the time lose. That’s just how things go.
It hurts the complexity of the game. The more features we have to make the game more automatic, the less complex it becomes. What that means? It means, at some point, anyone can be “good” without actually being good, which will drive even more players away. Complexity in a game is good since it encourages people to practice and play more to actually become good at it, which also means it will attract new players and encourage them to stay and try to get better. This is just part of a progression in the game which is necessary.
I will just say that I don’t agree with what you say, how this thing makes easier the gameplay? It just saves you, when having a bad day, and missclick a talent. You can’t do that comparison dude, it can’t be compared with this feature.
And no, I don’t either agree with all that you want from your enemy, you want angry players? That’s what you want? Remember that in the end, this is a game, and people should have fun, not getting angry at others, 'cause the guy is sucking, 'cause missed a talent and he’s pissed off, besides actually getting broken by a wrong talent selection. This happens more than you may think.
People should be enlighted by making a good read of the map, objectives, and good team play. It has nothing to do with missing talents.
Finally, to end up with the reply, it doesn’t hurt the game, 'cause what I’m asking is this to be optional, it is not completely automatic, because you have to think what branches of talents will you choose. Maybe a mid-point between what I’m asking and what you want, is pre-selection of talents, I mean, you can, when idle in the game (like lanning), pre-select the next talent. By making that, you can do that when resting from tfs, and you wont miss it. You miss a talent when trying to pick it while tf. IMHO a good idea.
You answered it right after:
If it saves you when you mess up, it is a “make gameplay easier” kinda feature and not just QoL. No matter what you say, you are asking for easier gameplay. You are not messing up because the game has a bug or a functionality that forces you to mess up on purpose. No, you mess up because your mechanics weren’t on point, it is your fault, not the game’s fault. If it is your fault, then the change is just meant to make the gameplay easier. It’s just this simple.
Yes. I want them to mess up, I want them to get frustrated, I want them to get angry. I’ll spray them, I’ll bstep, I’ll taunt, I’ll do everything possible to force them to make mistakes. That’s how one team wins the game, by making less mistakes than their enemy. If you don’t want that I really don’t understand why you are not playing single player games then, cause this is one of the core aspects of competitive multiplayer games.
This is a player’s fault. I want them to mess up, but if they start being toxic, it’s on them and they should get reported. Wanting them to get angry is different than wanting them to be toxic.
Having this as optional is even worse. It is like having an option to pay money to start a couple levels up in the next game if you want. Or having an option for easier to land spells if you want. Or having an option for easier stutter step when you want. No, just no.
Picking talents is a mechanic that whould be mastered and not everyone has it and that’s fine. If you messed up and picked the wrong talent, that’s on you, accept that you messed up, get your mind together and just play.
it’s not comparable to those things at all. it’s more comparable to being able to set your own hotkeys.
“but bro, learning to use the default keys is a skill you must master”
The purpose is for sharing them.
It’s not because changing hotkeys doesn’t give you gameplay advantage.
we’ll have to agree to disagree. i think in a year or two, blizzard will implement auto-selecting talents, and you’ll realize it really isn’t a big deal.
They will never do it because it ruins part of the gameplay. All these anomalies are fine because you are not making the game easier or anything, you are just changing how the game is played. But having auto select talents makes the game easier in some way.
Like, I don’t even understand this. People say it doesn’t make the game easier. Okay, if it doesn’t make the game easier, then we don’t need to have this since everyone has the mechanics to pick talents either by mouse clicking or ctrl + 1234. Well, if everyone has this mechanic on point, why people below masters never fast pick talents? Why even some masters fail to pick talents during a fight? Isn’t this something so easy and not important that the game should do it automatically?
Well, some arguments really don’t make any sense here…
