He's fine.

It would be awesome if we stopped trashing heroes because of tier lists. Every hero has something to offer, and while some are "strictly better" it doesn't mean anyone is garbage.

Actually Anub has consistently one of the highest winrates on hotslogs.

Anub has great initiation but isn't tanky enough or bursty enough to be a threat on his own. That said, being able to initiate so well that even a moronic team can follow up means he's great in solo queue.

PCgamer actually has a good interview with Dustin Browder - http://www.pcgamer.com//blizzard-on-heroes-of-the-storm-you-havent-seen-anything-yet/

In it he confirms about 6 heroes being tested internally and that they want to continue adding heroes and maps pretty much as frequently as possible.

The 3 you named are all ranged and happen to be good at killing heroes (despite being different roles).

So given that... I guess Thrall? He has ranged spells and is pretty great at blowing people up. He's got pretty decent survivability too, but not like Tychus' double healthbar or Tassadar's Dimensional Shift when things go completely to hell.

None of those heroes that you listed are like the ones that you currently enjoy playing. Brightwing is probably the closest.

The better question is this: what role do you want to play? Tank? Melee assassin? Support?

I assume you bought Tychus, Tass and Zagara already :D I'd definitely buy BW if you want to round out your hero pool for draft mode, then for the second I would go with either Anub or Stitches for the tank roles. You should definitely try out abathur during free rotation as he plays differently and may not be your style.

To put it in simplest of terms I enjoyed playing ADC and Jungle in LoL if that helps anyone with recommendation, so in that case i think assassins and specialists would be good for me yes? Zeratul interests me as well. BW was there in case i needed to he support but anyways thoughts? Recommendations?

Brightwing plays similarly to Janna, Stitches feels a lot like Blitzcrank, Anub feels like Malphite, Thrall is kind of like Master Yi, and Abathur is do not play Abathur.

If you really like ADCs like Vayne, I'd look into Valla. As far as junglers go, Anub actually plays a lot like one. Zeratul is difficult to play, but very good. I've also been having a lot of fun playing Raynor, who feels like a super on-hit Tristana (minus rocket jump).

Just finished reading, for fun wanna guess the 6 heroes?

These 4 seem safe as they've been featured in art now.
Lost Vikings
Sylvanas
Butcher
Leoric

So who does that leave: Crusader? Kael'Thas?

I recall there being more heroes mentioned being in the pipeline, but names fail me.

I can't imagine that Blizzard won't release Artanis or some other SC2 hero in conjunction with the release of LotV.

Solo Q is miserable guys. It's starting to get a point where ppl just leave the game (Raged quit) and you are SOL.

The thing is, the game encourages you to grind games mindlessly (for example play 8 games), so naturally people are going to play and do other things on the side..


Even ranked encourages you to grind since you essentially can't not hit rank 1 after you play enough games unless you literally have no clue how to play the game. I think a 30% win rate will get you rank 1 with enough games.

I just got to rank 1 today with 114-79 and according to hotslogs I'm only 3200 MMR. I don't get this system at all, it's the most broken piece of shit I've ever come across.

stop this lies of 30% win rate will get you rank 1 its a lie... the points you win decrease and the points you lose go up.

specially if you have lot of games but you just got to like lvl 15 with all the games.. a super grind to try go up . i had more than 50% winrate and was getting really few points from lvl 17 to 13 when i got 13 i was losing more points than i was winning per game... while friends of mine with less games kept getting the full amount.. then i went in a soloQ losing streak and im stuck at rank 21 now to get out of it i would have to get atleast 60% winrate and i keep going in and out of the rank so i lose extra 100 points lol

i still have no idea how they decide how many points you win/lose per game.

Master league is the top 1% of hotslog so if ranks are uniformly distributed with 2% of the population in each rank then your rank isn't out of the question.

I think it's a safe assumption that your rank on HotsLog is underreported too, since are bronze leaguers and other newbies really uploading replays?
