Slight QQ about points at rank 1, like why am I losing 130-140 points with a loss compared to 80 or so for a win? Kinda depressing to think that with a 50% win rate (which the game is supposed to try and make everyone have, not that I do) I would gradually lose ranks instead of staying the same.

This is more funny than rage.

Think about it, what is the worst possible stim drone?
My ally Morales showed me, use it on Li Ming while shooting the plant to get seeds... with archon: pure power activated! O_O
If it was a misclick its equally surprising, i was far from others.

I had one of my worst losing streaks yesterday. Lost like 12 games and won 2. Not even angry anymore, I've decided to focus on myself. Out of these 12 defeats, I played poorly on 1 (it was my first HL game with Anub'). On the others, I was almost everytime the best player of the team, and more importantly, I was doing my job.
I played with so much potatoes it quite hurt. Ended on a strange victory (Abathur Murky-me- vs Cho Gall on cursed hollow).

edit: and another stupid Cho Gall game. They pick Cho Gall on towers. Team focused Cho Gall all game. GG. I really wish they forbid Cho Gall in HL.

I've lost all hopes of ever getting above r10 in HL again

edit: can we rename Shadow Assault to Shadow Autist? feels way more fitting

Played 5 games of heroleague tonight, 4 of them had permanent disconnects. The last one we won despite the disconnect, but for all I know the enemy valla was a discon too, because she was REALLY bad.

I feel like I've wasted the last 3 hours of my life

Playing with a comp of Kharazim, Thrall, Zeratul, Greymane, Morales against Morales, Butcher, Li Ming, Morales, Kharazim.

Needless to say, we got out'skilled' bigtime by the nigh undodgable 60% AOE damage and the very hard to execute AS slow.

Seriously, Xul is such a cancer in QM when your comp sucks. There is NOTHING we could have done to win that.

Solo tank Muradin with Heymaker and Executioner over Stoneform and GP/Cleave Zeratul with SA. When we finally win a TF at our core and decide to end, these 2 chronic retards jump into Diablo breath and disintegrate, enemy respawns and we lose

I guess that's what I get for trying to play TLV on Garden, absolute fucking retards who blindly lock heroes they can't play as 1st and 2nd

"I don't see your name written on the globe" was (in retrospect) the funniest answer I got in such a situation :D

TBH I don't take this into account either, unless the guy says "I'll roam mid/bot for globes so wait for me to take them", I'll just do my job in lane. If the guy doesn't make it clear, it's his fault. If he did, it's mine. I don't think I have to check his talents, and wonder if he'll roam for globes or commit to his lane.

Another HL game with Illidan, another not-bad-but-not-good Illidan, another defeat. When I play versus him it's auto win, with him it's auto loss. These guys successfully dance around the battlefield early game, get over confident, and spend all the rest of the game diving 1 v 4 without their warrior and feeding.

1st pick raynor keeps feeding hooks and solo in lane, is upset that "pussy tanks" dont peel for him
we point out his idiocy so he gets offended and starts throwing the game on purpose

Love the comeback mechanics of ToD!

I'll check globe talents and want to pound my head into the wall if they don't pick up save globes.

Guy on my team firstpicks gazlowe on dragonshire. I'm paired with him, so I think "ah screw it" and pick zeratul so I can play my own game and have some fun.

Team rages immediately with pre-emptive GG's. I tell them that if gaz gets to pick his guitly pleasure pick first, I'm going to too. Result is enemy team gets li-ming/xul/rehgar, so rest of team is pretty sure we lost. Gazlowe accuses me of being salty towards the gaz pick, then I remind him I'm just doing exactly what he did already. That shut him up.

So I give a "glhf" and "let's just outplay them". Turns out they were all pretty bad, and that's exactly what happened. Sometimes having a team full of rank 9-10's just plain trumps a team full of rank 15-16's, no matter what the draft is.

I noticed something, people picking warriors usually just don't know how to peel / protect the backline. We went double warrior yesterday to counter ETC + Xul + Thrall. I explicitely ask that they play defensive and protect us (Tyrande Ming, can't remember the 3rd one).
None of our warriors was able to protect the backline from Thrall. Being a warrior doesn't mean soak damage front. It means keep your squishies alive 1st. Thrall flanked / backdoored all game, which should have mean insta death, had Johanna open her eyes.

It's so rare when people are able to peel / protect their backline. I feel most warrior players just think their role is to hold the frontline, and dive in when there's an opportunity.

ugh Tanks that chase way too much/deep and don't peel are one of my biggest pet peeves.

Yup, just lost a game to that. The guy 1st pick Johanna (sig) and never peeled all game. And they had Thrall. You can imagine how it went. At friggin rank 1 :-(
Oh and I loved my previous game. Battlefield, someone picks Hammer. One guy is stuck on Zera all draft. I try to explain him that Zera doesn't work on this map (clumped fights) and with Hammer (you need to protect hammer with your body or with ranged dps). He says "I only want to play Zera". And of course we couldn't win this.
