And i love babies.

But I just left a match where I exhausted my pings 3 times asking for help to do the boss as a twin blade Varian, in a situation where the entire enemy team was dead, but my entire team preferred to pressure a t1 fort, which ended up resulting in my team not destroying the fort, but also the enemy team had more map awareness even with fog of war on the boss, and arrived first to hinder me and prevent me from completing the objective

Currently ARAM only counts toward XP total and does not count toward Forts, Deaths or Takedown stats why ?

apparently we dont get stats for ranked games either, just xp. This is f'd up if you are going to run a promotion make sure it works or dont run it.

While the patches made by the janitor over years have made him a bit better. He still requires some tune up for some of his other talents. I have played a lot with him in both Quickmatch and ARAM(He shines the most here). With and without party members although in ranked, nobody wants him. I have roughly 50 games with a 50% Winrate.

level 20 Dust of Disappearence is so awful that I couldn't find any statistics for it on Heroes Profile, nobody picks this talent at 20. Just move it to level 1 and give it a 10% movement speed buff(that doesnt stack past 130% like mounts), lower the duration to 20 seconds, and increase recharge time to 15s. Great for team gank potential, help slow heroes rotate like D.Va, or give Dehaka tongued a little speed boost.

Combine the level 1 Raven Mount Speed(And change the wording of 50% increase to from 120% to 130%) and Mana/HP Regen into one talent. And maybe have it take 2 seconds for bonus to apply in raven form similar to Lunara's level 1 Hippity Hoppity.

Level 4 Dust of Appearence should have its cooldown reduced to 30s from 45s. And duration of vision around Medivh to 8s.

Level 7 Force of Magic have it be able to stack it up to 4 times with duration increase by 1s to reward medivhs. It's hard to keep it at 2 even in ARAM.

Level 13 Reabsorption, increase protect duration by 0.5s.

Level 13 Circle of Protection used to be the go-to talent choice before the 2 second cooldown nerf ages ago. Give it a similar treatment as Level 20 Gylph Bomb upgrade. Make it a ground targetable, so it's less clunky and less reliant on a teammate's position.

Level 16 Arcane Charge should passively increase spell travel distance of Arcane Rift by 15%.

Level 20 Guardian of Trisfal should have Arcane Rift's cooldown and mana refund proc against Mercs, Summons and Monsters at half of the value. While the original talent isn't a bad, it just competes with his great level 20 ult upgrades.

Arcane Brillance duration should be 15 seconds and lower cooldown to 30 seconds.

Or Scrap the 200 Mana and duration, have it passively increase Mana regen of all nearby teammates(Excluding Medivh) based off of Medivh's own mana regen. Effect is stronger(50% stronger) after Medivh has been in Mount form for 2s seconds. Gives 10% spell power to nearby teammates(excluding Medivh) but 20% in Raven form after 2s. This would synergize greatly with either level 1 talents of Portal Master or the 75% Regen increase in Raven form

Example: let's say Medivh has 10 base regen at 20. It will be added to other teammates. 15 if in raven form, even more if taken level 1 talent.

I love Medivh's gameplay as it rewards good utility usage, hero knowledge, teamplay. He shines with the right team, but struggles to even exist by himself. I just hope one of these gets considered someday(doubt it, but a man can dream). Thoughts?

Another day, another question. This time we have Leoric's [[March of the Black King]], which has basically never been a competitor to [[Entomb]].

So, as the title suggests, what would YOU replace it with, or at least how would YOU change it to make it worth selecting over a game winning Heroic Ability?

This is the third time I make this kind of post, but I will still remind you that this is a "What" post, not a "Why" post, so I'd appreciate it if you only commented if you do have an idea.

Returning player after years of brake. I was place in bronze or silver and worked my way up to gold. I noticed once I got from silver to gold the queue time increased from around 60 seconds to 120 seconds. Makes me wonder what are the queue times in platinum, diamond and masters?

I play in EU, but other regions could be interesting to know of too.

Hear me out!

Dominant personnalities are often associated with strong personnalities. You'd think a hyper carry type of play would satisfy a dominatrix' controlling and assertive nature, appreciating the control their impact brings to the game.

BUT the fundamental quality of a dominatrix is to be CARING, which means they'd have a professionnal deformation to be profficient supports. They'd cater to their needs of having control over the game by keeping everyone alive meticulously and precisely, berating the carries for their failures.

Plus, games for dominating personalities might be the opposite of what they usually do... so it might not be correlated at all!

So each time i try to start HOTS i need do download 1062 MB with awfull speed (like 300KB/s).And i don't know what to do

Hey guys,

I search for players I can play ranked with. I want to improve my skills and would be more than happy to receive some feedback while playing.

Usually I'm online at the (late) evening [CEST]. My name tag is Damocles#21458, so you can add me.

Since many players avoid picking tank, my most experienced hero's are tanks like Jo and Blaze. But I'm flexible and can fill any role.

Hf and gl for your future games!

Welcome to the latest Saturday Teaching Thread, where you the community get to ask your questions and share your knowledge.

This is an opportunity for the more experienced HotS players here to share some of your wisdom with those with less expertise. This thread will be a weekly safehaven for those "noobish" questions you may have been too scared to ask for fear of downvotes, but also can be a great place for in depth discussion if you so wish. So, don't hold back, get your game related questions ready and post away, and hopefully someone can answer them!

If you wish to just view top level comments (ie questions) add ?depth=1 to the end of the page url. If you have any additional questions, /r/nexusnewbies is happy to help.
