About the minimap (I've also had this issue in LoL), I'd say it would be a good idea to add a hotkey+click to move on it.

For example:
click on the minimap --> the hero moves down-right
control+click on the minimap --> the hero moves towards the click point in the minimap

Yeah but that's super confusing for new players, not something Blizzard would want. The other option would be adding a..square around the map.to delimit better that section, however that would look terrible with the current interface.

The best solution would simply be to add an interface option that allows or disallows movement clicks on the minimap.

One of these weeks I want Blizz to set as the free rotation:
Lost Vikings
Murky
Abathur
Azmodan
Nova

And then just sit back and watch the world rage.

I would think it's as easy as an option in the interface menu. Default is how it is currently but you can toggle it to be a ctrl+click to use the minimap for movement. I'd definitely appreciate that.

It looks like someone nuked the NA portion of the players list. Join #teamliquid on HotS and ask around.

And given how bad the matchmaker is, I highly recommend queuing with at least one good/decent player -- particularly if you have any intention of getting to Rank 1 in hero league. It makes a world of difference.

Or players could just learn to be more accurate with their mouseclicks. At the risk of sounding like a SC:BW bittervet (which I'm probably not, I was always terrible) how easy mode do we need to be? If you can't avoid clicking the minimap, how can you be accurate on skillshots?

I would consider not inadvertently clicking on sections of the interface that don't do what you want to do at the time to be basic parts of good gameplay. And I am not a hardcore player. I have a wife and a job and a one year old daughter who still isn't sleeping through the night effectively. I'm about as casual as you can get these days, and I still think if I click the minimap by accident it's my own damn fault and I don't need my hand held to make me feel better.

The filter was on again. I deleted it so that this doesn't happen again.

If you know how to filter and want to use it please turn it off when you're done

Nova has two problems. The most obvious is that she has zero utility outside of attacking heroes. The other problem is that she has no escape, which means that it is very hard for her to play around enemy detection. An oracle-spamming Tassadar can make it very difficult for Nova to properly operate because she won't be able to safely approach the enemy team from the dangerous directions that she often needs to -- particularly in 5v5s. Zeratul, in contrast, can play around detection and other "counters" simply because he of his high mobility.

All of that said, she is still a good pub stomper. I just cringe whenever I see people pick her against high ranked players.


Nova's my guilty pleasure. But ya she's so bad at everything not involved with ganking someone. Once you get Armor Piercing Rounds you just lose what little landing abilities you had and on certain maps objectives feel especially useless (boss on cursed hallow, grave golem on haunted mines, ect).

But boy can she blow stuff up. I had a game on Haunted mines - snipe, envenom, crippling shot, bye Valla! I've been on the receiving end before and know that even if Nova dies in the exchange there's nothing more frustrating than getting popped like that.

Overpower, Triple Tap - just delete someone from the game. Sneak up and remove the healer during a team fight, that basically swings things for you.

But ya, Nova can't do much other than that so pushing back a lane if you're the only one up feels so futile. And all too many Nova's break cloak doing things she's not good at which completely neuter's the intimidation she offers (not to mention opens you up to getting killed).

Since she can only kill guys, it's hard for her to effect a comeback. I had a game where I had 24 takedowns while the next highest on our team had 12, but it just didn't matter. When they were dead, Nova can't do anything re: map.

It's not like Zeratul where he can still take map objectives, push back lanes *and* kill the occasional straggler to help you get back in it.

The problem is that a player retreating to the right has to scroll to the right side of the screen to push the map. Then you have to pull back towards the center to click on the right center side of the screen to continue to move in the correct direction.

It is a minor unfair advantage to the team spawning on the left, enough said.

it's way easier to accidentally click the heroes minimap than in starcraft (or any other rts/moba I've seen) because the heroes minimap is just planted on top of the playing field instead of getting its own part of the screen.

Yeah, i jsut bought the vikings this week and learned in the hard wat that nova is a pretty good counter to them. You can play around her though dependng on how you split your vikings or at worst if you mantain them together, but still, probably a bad desiscion to buy them on nova free week.

Anyone still getting into rank 1? Blizzard said each rank was supposed to represent 2% of players, so if that's working as intended, it must be pretty tough to get into rank 1 now since there are so many people there already. I'm almost there, but kinda hit my plateau. I blame it on Elo heaven. Every game I'm being matched against rank 1s and pros, and they're all so good, and I can't beat them. I wish that sometimes I would get pros on my side .

It's in a bottom corner just like any other RTS or Moba, it's just there's less interface around it.

I don't think I've ever click the minimap by accident, mainly because if I'm in position where I need to move precisely, I click closer to my actual hero (not across the screen) so I don't have pathing mistakes, and if I don't need to be that precise, I'll usually just click the minimap anyway on purpose. Maybe I'm lazy, but I sure as heck don't want to have to press another hotkey to use the minimap to move just because some people can't click accurately.
