I must admit, I'm surprised on a board of bittervets that people have any faith whatsoever in this. Brad couldn't get an MMO off the ground with Microsoft's budget, fast forward a bit and he pays himself 40 grand out of crowd-funded money to build a game while his staff works on a volunteer...

Okay shitlord; your repeated mention of data points is extremely problematic. f you're going to discuss data collection please spoiler it and add trigger warnings; this is supposed to be a safe place.

But, the zones in WoD were clearly designed ready-to-go for flying. If they hadn't have been, there is no way Aviana's Feather wouldn't have had people falling through the zone left and right. Perhaps this was a test run to see if future zones could be non-flying... but their playerbase spoke...

Yea, I thought that was implied.

What puzzles me isn't that people are happy about flying, that's obvious -- but to what riveting open-world content are we gleefully flying? Aside from the 90-100 grind, what is there? Apexis daily which takes 10 minutes? I guess I can see the interest for the folks who really want multiple...

Enough people play it that I'm glad it exists; its clearly an important part of GGGs bottom line. But holy hell, I can not fathom why the game would be even remotely fun under those conditions.

Uther/BW/Rehgar are my favorite supports, but I find myself really enjoying Rehgar for solo healing -- focus fire is the most basic "team activity" in a MOBA and Ancestral Healing is a huge, huge boon if its done correctly. If I were equally as good with Uther, no doubt I'd have better results...

Heroes of the Storm (HotS): Match History: Eidal In a game where two supports on a team is viable AND most people dislike playing support... you don't really need 2-2-2-1 =P

I guess that's fair -- my attention span for this genre doesn't last long enough to play Standard. I exclusively play the HC-variant challenge league; so I really can't grasp the concerns of people for whom mirror-gear balance is relevant.

I can't tell if you're complaining about poopsocking or the odds of RNG spitting out an uber-rare drop. What would the orb drop rate have to do with finding a rare?

If your guys win rate in QM is actually 25 percent then that's fucking awful -- it ought to be 50 percent. Not sure if I believe or if this is just dramatic hyperbole because hating on the matchmaker is what we do here.

Slim chance of that! He's busy doing God's work in low Gold. I've got a handful of buddies that complain like Gilgamel -- I always, always tell them that if they'd shut the fuck up and just focus on what they could do better, then they'd actually improve. But all of them A) deny that...

You definitely figured out how to rationalize your own toxicity. Interesting counteroffensive: by not trolling my team, what does it say about me? I look forward to more "stuck in elo hell" posts. Oh, it's early in the season, you "didn't want that elo anyway".

From my perspective, you're as much of a troll as anyone else. I've had plenty of games where 4 people being positive can snap someone else out of being a jerk. Once two people are going to troll town, everyone may as well just concede. To each their own, yadda yadda... but whenever I act...

Watched a few episodes, downloaded the books and read them all in a frenzy. Good story.

Lol. You sound like half my friend's list. This is why you'll never improve.

Well, if he argued about penis size then people would mock him. 1) Skip leg day 2) Drink coconut oil 3) ??? 4) win competition

You just said you were 7-8, now you're saying "bet me I'm under 12.5". That's a substantially different claim.

Anub/ETC/Muradin are considered top-tier tanks, followed by Diablo then Arthas.

When we left Musa Qalah, we had to chill at Leatherneck for about a week before continuing on to Manas. I probably ate 6k calories a day. They color-coded their food in there to help people with nutrition info (green/yellow/red). We would openly mock their warning signs that said shit like...

Before writing off the genre completely, I would suggest playing with friends. I doubt I'd bother with the genre if none of my friends played.

You missed my point. It had nothing to do with matchmaking in this scenario. It was our team being epic fail choosing to 4v5 a level below in the mines, or our team being epic fail with 2nd pick instalocking Abathur and giving up Sylvanas on HM. After the assreaming, instead of a brief period...

Lol just lost Haunted Mines in 6 minutes with two rank 1s on my team. One of them instalocked Abathur and then said "oh i fucked up" in pre-game chat as the other team insta-locks Sylvanas. We got shitpumped in a teamfight in mines, they got a 100 skull golem, and pushed to core for win...

QM is just for fucking around, anyway. Tryharding in QM is a fast road to frustration; just treat it like mechanics practice and learn to laugh at all the dumb shit that goes down.

Sounds like Slyminxy flies drone boats =P

Shrug, don't know what to tell you. I doubt Bliz would lie about the stats, and it's not really possible to misconstrue it -- they've stated pretty clearly that there is no noticeable difference in winrate between 1 warrior and 0 warrior comps. So far, it seems like HL is doing a pretty...

They released stats showing that there is no statistically relevant difference to win rate in warrior vs non-warrior teams, but that there is in support vs no support. That's why they changed the matchmaker to match sup with sup. Regarding HL, rank doesn't matter. I'm 10w2l, rank 34, with...

Love that photo. It's hard not to be a prick to people that talk about their AFG deployment which was a year at fucking leatherneck. I spent 7 months at battalion/company positions in northern Helmand. Mmm, UGRs. Shit, I'd have been totally up for doing a week or two of R&R then flying back...

Vitality, make me a spotify playlist!

A) You're disproportionately "unlucky" and your loss of rank reflects that you're consistently being matched with shit teams due to your bad luck. B) Better players are entering the game and your loss of rank reflects your new position on the ladder. A or B, man.

I remember back in the day I'd always do a scan of Sro if I happened to be in the area late at night "just in case". I showed up to two people standing next to the corpse of the AC. At the time I was a high 40s wizard. One asked me in broken english if I needed a belt (I played my wizard near...

Out of the many, many first-term enlistment marriages I witnessed, I can only think of one "I'm going to get married to improve my QoL" situation. Most are just dipshit 18-20 year olds who genuinely believe that they're in love, and obviously marriage is not only the proper step forward in the...

Agreed.

Well, anyone that picks the USMC then bitches about comfort has no leg to stand on. I always told people that were thinking about joining: pick the USN or USAF, if you really have a chip on your shoulder and something to prove then contemplate the USMC -- but don't end up all bitter that you...

Military isn't bad; especially for people with zero job skills. You can: save a lot of money, have health insurance, network, and leave with a paid for education. Even as an E-3, in an infantry battalion in the USMC, I felt more "free" and that I had far more income than all of my civilian...

Well, people love to rant about how its impossible to carry in HoTS... but I gotta tell you, my first few games in HL were hilarious. I got first blood as brightwing, one guy in the game had a 75 MMR (20 percent win rate over 28 games). First 10 HL games and I'm 7:3. The matchmaker quickly...

Losing HL rank shouldn't be too surprising now that open beta started because more people are entering the ladder. To Dudebro; Hotslog isn't accurate whatsoever for newer accounts. People who upload their own matches or play at a higher echelon where at least 1/10 are logging will have a...

A lot of this is a perception issue regarding the 3 variables. 1) Your rank is the public symbol of the system's confidence in your ability. 2) Your hidden MMR is the system trying to find you a game in which you'll draw (50% win rate). 3) The algorithm that the system uses that takes MMR...

Without knowing how well this instancing works, we have: Unknown variable heavily influencing drop rate (instancing) Known variable increasing customer-base (2-3x more players than vanilla) Power creep influencing drop rate (GL actually used to be hard in vanilla). I'd be astounded if...
