That said, the games where I usually play Uther are the ones where I am stuck playing a support as last pick. Because I solo queue so much, I'm usually the best player on my teams. There are limits to how well a support can carry. If I am supporting and my MMR equivalent on the other team is playing a higher impact hero, then my team is going to be at a disadvantage. Still, I've had several games recently where I was supporting generally excellent players, but they just shit the bed for whatever reason. I've also had a few games where my play was not good in this particular losing streak. But for the most part, however, my Uther play has been solid. It's just a matter of being extremely unlucky with teammates. You'd think that I'd get carried at some point. | ||

 Just played a HL game on Haunted Mines with a Sylvanas who refused to ever push, an Abathur who refused to ever Symbiote/ assist other heroes (only assisted our minions, even during team fights), and some guy who insisted Tassadar was a healer "because he can use shields", yet insisted on soloing the whole time. So no healer, no communication, no working together. Very, very frustrating. | ||

When you think of the multitasking potential not yet tapped, the high APM and correct camera hotkey usage (for example as used in StarCraft) I feel the full potential of Vikings has yet to be tapped. | ||

There's a difference between a hero being broken/ overpowered and you just not being able to track them down properly (e.g., missing their shimmer or not being able to tell which Novas are decoys and which one is real). 1. Low skill? Pretty sure they're two of the highest-skilled heroes in the game (especially Zeratul). 2. Zeratul can clear lanes/ merc camps just fine; I think Nova is a bit worse with this though. 3. Different heroes have different playstyles, and not every single one is going to resonate with you. Plenty of them certainly don't resonate with me. You don't seem to get that this is a QQ thread and not a balance one. And yes, in my mind, both heroes will always be considered low skill because of how stupid and easy their faggy playstyle are.

EDIT: And I feel like I need to bitch about the matchmaking again. In May, it felt like they fixed it. The games were much better. Then late last month, everything seemed to go to shit again. | ||

We reached lvl 26. Didn't even know the levels went that high. And we lost. Every other hero on my team was a freebie this week. | ||

EDIT: Thrice I have managed to secure an XP lead as well as golem at opponents core by the second golem by pushing as sylv. Thrice has the game subsequently been thrown because my teammates decided that it was an excellent idea to engage 2v5 - repeatedly. | ||

Thrice has the game subsequently been thrown because my teammates decided that it was an excellent idea to engage 2v5 - repeatedly. I feel like the Trickle is a disease that some teams just catch and can't get over, because they get too caught up in their objective and put blinders on. You know the Trickle... when 2 or 3 allies run into a group of 5, and as they get knocked out one at a time, they're replaced as a new hero trickles in for the opposing team to pick off, and this trickling in of your teammates happen over and over again, giving the other team a huge lead. Symptoms include: -Tunnel Vision -Allies thinking they're really, really good at the game -Delusions that 1v5 totally makes sense | ||

Worst of all when your opponents show they have zero noobs and work like a well oiled coordinated machine... no fuckin chance AT ALL. I mean why... why is it I haven't even played this game for a week and even I can grasp basics of a moba that my dumbass allies are oblivious too?? AERGHEA:LDILAFJDHF:LJDAJHF:LKDSA edit: and i finally won 1/3 games today. zomg what happened? Allies who talked, and were competent enough on pushes, objectives, and backing off, against competent opponents too edit 2: 25 min game lost... Raynor on my team had ZERO clue and cost us the game... solo push after solo push, die to their Zeratul, die to mercs, had near same number of deaths to takedowns... GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD | ||

Some moron last night first picked him (and was objectively quite bad at him to boot) and then said the reason his damage was so low was everytime he engaged he'd just get CC'd to death and immediately die. Well no fuck dipshit. Thats why you don't first pick him and only bust him out against low CC teams. Didn't help our Malf didn't go Cleanse. I swear the vast majority of players have one build they play per hero and never deviate despite team comp. I think I've won like 10% of my games where a Butcher player was on my team. And for the love of all that is holy, people need to quit picking him on Battlefield of Eternity. Just a horrible map for melee heroes in general. | ||

Does that include Zeratul (being particularly bad on BoE)? I know he's the exception to some rules about melee heroes in general because of his cloak, blink, etc. | ||

I know he's the exception to some rules about melee heroes in general because of his cloak, blink, etc. IMO Zeratul is better than most melee on that map due to prolonged teamfights over the immortals resulting in low-ish HP heroes running around and being spread out. Super easy (at least at my skill level) to pick one off and blink back to the safety of your immortal or your team. But who knows if that experience can be replicated in HL, I feel I'm pretty decent in general from my 2000 hours in Dota 2 but haven't yet played enough to be able to queue HL. | ||
