I feel like my skill cap has hit already
and playing to see if how many less trolls/bads I get to win is just depressing
quitting until it improves

How do you expect it to improve?

You reached your skill cap already? How long you've been playing because i don't think even pros have reached it.

Want it to improve? Get a team, cordinate with them, get better at the game as a team. You can't just "quit until it improves" because nothing will happen.

@klipik12: Thank you, I am really looking forward to this game, I thought after all those heroesOTS articles I never read I might have to watch one at least.


Here are some Youtube videos that have vods too:

Not gonna happen. People are already spending loads of $$ in this game, so they wont change business.


keep thinkin' that :D


I'm sure it will be offered around 2019 as interest is waning and the game is aging

I watched the latest episode of Town Hall Heroes and they talked about hero league and MMR. According to them MMR is pretty much non-existant and you can face full premades on solo que without delay. They also figured out that if you play enough games you can theoretically get rank1 with a 16% win ratio (many thousand games) because 100 points are given when levelling up.

What is different is that they seems to get a lot more points per win than I do (110-160 for me, 200 until rank 10 for them).

I'd like to know that as well...
A friend of mine got 200 points until rank 25... I get around 130 every game and I'm rank 28 :-P
No idea how that's determined.

I just got 110 and 101 on rank 42

I currently have 22:28 (started 1:13) and according hotslogs a MMR of 1483 (was as low as 600). Maybe it depends on the w/l ratio, but the better mine gets the less points I get.

There is definitely some kind of MMR behind the ranked system. I am up to rank 10 and still getting 200/60 for wins and losses.

Yeah when it comes to Town Hall watch them for entertainment not accurate facts. They also stated you can't have 2 Tyrande owl's on the map at a time in that episode, which is totally just made up. They got it confused with no more than 1 Cloud Serpent on the map. Every episode they say a solid 5-10 things that are just blatantly false. They really need a pro on that show, cause their knowledge gap shows.

As for Hero League, I don't think that 16% is accurate. There appears to be some degrees of caps, I have heard of people rank 40~ getting 60 for a win and 80 for a loss. Everyone started spouting that based off what players like So1lder's gains. But unless you have pro level win rates at some point it reduces the gains.

However there seems to be little to no mmr system being used to determine matches (like which 10 players are in a game together), my teams commonly insta-que into teams that look like they have never played the game before and we win in like 8-10 mins with 5+ level gaps, then next game insta-que into SMG. If there is an mmr system being used to determine matches, it appears to somehow also be even looser than the versus mode.

I don't know. If that'd be the case, I should get more points if I'm on a winning streak, shouldn't I?
Well... I'm not. won 5 times in a row, got less points for every win and ended up at 100 now :-P

Tassadar is considered an all-around good hero and is 4K. But I would suggest to just play all the free heroes and then decide which one you like.

Not necessarily. Blizzard clearly has some kind of internal skill metric that it assigns to players, which is why people are reporting differing levels of point gain/loss at different levels.

Not necessarily? What kind of internal skill metric would result in a lower amount of points gained if you're on a winning streak? I can't think of any.

I agree: there is some kind of internal skill metric - but I'm not sure it works as it should, tbh.
