Yeah Nova + Zera on the enemy team in QM usually means your squishies are gonna have a bad time. Which in itself isn't all that game ending, except they just keep running into the meatgrinder. Just adapt guys. If Nova + Zera is on the enemy team and you're playing a Jaina, you do not get to plant your frozen ass in the middle of the lane solo and expect good things to happen.

That's how it's pronounced in Korean. 요하나 is how it's spelled on the Korean client. Usually this is an issue with words that already exist that might get confusing.

That's okay, it's Wolf. I understand.

Sigh. Constantly lose every teamfight fast with all our heroes melting under enemy damage. I take a look at our stats and I'm doing more damage as Anub'Arak than Jaina, Valla and Sonya. So frustrating when you're trying everything to win the game and keep your team alive only for them to just not dish out any damage.

Well if they have more coordination and damage than your team then that's understandable. If Jaina, Valla and Sonya are focused down immediately then they aren't doing any damage, while you have more survivability than them as Anub'Arak which means that you last a bit longer in fights and can do more damage.

And you'd be correct, if not for the fact that Jaina and Valla only had half my deaths (2), although Sonya did have more than I did (6). Not crazy numbers but in your case they would have equal or higher death counts than Anub'Arak.
The other two games that were annoying today were games we were clearly winning before level 20 with even good teamwork in the second match, only to lose both matches to a single teamfight gone bad after level 20. Granted, it doesn't help if after said teamfight the remainder of the team get themselves killed but it stings when you lose a game you had an advantage in for so long.

someone first picks Gazlowe
then another guy says "no 2 specialist" as the Gazlowe disrupts my Zagara
then that guy, having seen the opposing team pick Zeratul, picks Butcher and proceeds to die evry single fucking time he has an opportunity to, like no fucking kidding he would just run forward in lane into 3 people and get killed by Zeratul from behind
holy shit this game feels like explaining quantum mechanics to children who speak only Raratonga
NEXT GAME SOME RUSSIAN PRESELECTS GAZLOWE AND DOESNT EVEN RESPOND TO TEAM JUST END ME edit: in a shocking plot twist, Gazlowe pick proves to be complete fucking garbage and we lose the game as he keeps feeding Zeratul

How do you know he was Russian if you say he never communicated with the team?

So today I experienced the biggest shitshow since I play the game. Litteraly 4 people that didn't know what they were doing. We played on Dragon shire. So in the first 2 minutes my fellow gazlowe died because he was drunk or something. Instead of runing in straight path to the wall, he was doing some strange maneuvers... vs Raynor. His awareness was off the whole game... Missing stuff happening just next to him. Later in the game the enemy team (4 of them) capped one of the shrines. I was in that lane with ETC(I'm malfurion)... So the ETC ran into 4 people and used Mosh pit... With just lonely Malfurion with him. Illidan skilled "The Hunt" and kept ulting into 5 people, dying and then telling us how we should focus Raynor... OK. And last, but not least, Tyrande that couldn't hit her spells(even the ult) to save her life. We actually had a lead at one point AND then they engaged just before lvl 10(9,5 or something) with whole level advantage. From there it went downhill. So yeah, at least it didn't last long - 12-13 minutes. Solo queue in this game is incredibly stupid.

Figured I'd do a fast QM before heading off to bed. Hadn't played Raynor in a while so I figured why not.
I end up with a Tassadar, Kael'Thas, Murky and Nazeebo. And sure enough, thanks to Tassadar, the enemy team gets a Malfurion. To further spice it up, they get Kael'Thas, Nova, Zeratul and Tyrande. Against a no tank, no healer squishy comp with a Murky and a Kael'Thas.
You can guess how that went.
QM matchmaking really doesn't take anything into account does it.
And I still do not understand taking Tassadar into QM solo. There is no excuse for denying your team a healer and granting the enemy team one. Yes he works great with a second support, but you're not guaranteed to get that. You are however guaranteed to give the enemy team a support, which is most likely going to be a healer. They really need to put Tassadar/Tyrande in a group of their own when it comes to matchmaking in QM.

I've won plenty of QMs as tassadar as the only support. It's hard, but not impossible. Though I agree they should add an option for more filters (especially tank vs no tank).
Meanwhile, I simply don't understand where some people get off. HL game on dragon shire, I picked Raynor as I hadn't played him in a while. Wanted to rotate around to maximise my stacks in the early game.
Teammates absolutely tear into me. Telling me to gtfo with my bad play, that I had down syndrome, etc etc. Totally unnecessary. They'd ping me and tell me to go for a shrine alone when we were on level 9 and they on 10 - call me crazy, but I didn't fancy that.
We ended up winning the game just fine. Guy launches into an attack on me via chat, telling me I got carried, etc etc. Just so uncalled for. I knew I had made some positional mistakes in the game, but ultimately we did win, I topped xp contrib, and all was well.
Just don't understand why people have to be so vicious. Do they not realise it doesn't achieve anything positive? Attacking teammates like that only makes them play worse.

The worst are people who get indignant about being an asshole, as though they are the oppressed ones for being muted after saying things like were said to you. You can say what you want, but there will be consequences. I find these are often people who are, "telling it like it is."

To be fair, if you're topping the experience charts by quite a bit as Raynor, you could be doing something horribly wrong, like never rotating to objectives. Also, don't ever justify yourself with stats. Stats are absolutely the most misleading thing in the game, and a lot of lower level people use them to justify sucking really hard and split pushing all game or having super high hero damage because they're fucking Raynor and of course they're going to have the highest hero damage, etc.
That stuff drives me crazy.

Yeah I not-so-fondly remember a Sgt. Hammer that completely avoided each and every teamfight and absolutely, positively HAD to solo the bottom lane on Haunted Mines. She literally threw herself at the towers again and again, only to be ganked each time. When the team asked if she could join us in the mines and to stick with the team, the replay was something like: 'no, hammer specialist, only towers noob'.
Even when our core was being pushed, Hammer was solo in the bot lane. Her siege damage? Over 200k. Her hero damage? Under 10k. K/D? 0-14.
And every time something was asked, the reply was that she should only push bottom with Hammer and how we all sucked and how she had the most siege damage. Ugh.
It can also get annoying when you have a hero that usually won't top the charts like a Tyrael or Anub'Arak. You can do great with them, constantly CCing the enemy team, ensuring kills and saving teammates, but without topping one of the stats, obviously you must suck according to some people. Yeah go figure that Kael'Thas has more hero damage and that Sylvanas has more siege damage than a bruiser.

I really would be okay if they removed the stats altogether, or at least only showed them at the end of game score screen. There's nothing from it during the game that can benefit you by seeing stats; it's only a distraction or argument point.
