I just wanted to say the obvious… Blizzard does an amazing job creating cesspools full of toxic children.
Why would anyone wanna play this game and put themselves in the presence of raging, hormonal, hateful people? Not really enjoyable if you ask me…
I totally agree with you. I started the game about three months ago (technically I am (and I also feel I am) a newb). After playing a reasonable amount of vs AI games and reading about the basics on the internet, I felt I was ready to play some ranked matches. The first placement match I played, I got a lot of ranting in chat. I am a learner, so when I asked tips about how to improve, someone told me (decorated with some nice swear words) to uninstall the game.
Today, I was in a vs AI match and everybody (except me) was in the middle lane. I KNOW that you SHOULD cover all lanes to get XP early in the game. Unfortunately, I was a healer and died alone too much. When I apologized for that and told that I did not understand their play style, someone called me a noob and asked me to leave the game. He was a lvl 54 player with a win-lose ratio in vs AI of around 75%.
I love the game and luckily, I play a lot of matches in which there is no chat activity. But man, if you are a new player with a fragile heart, you will never get the chance to learn the game and enjoy it.
The problem is not you. Its the system not recognizing smurf vs new player match up. You should be always in side of new player and never matched vs other smurfs… Its not very entertaining to learn the game while you get shouted.
This is exactly why people should disable Team Chat
There exists an option for it
And when you do so
Almost every match is preferably an enjoyable one
People will be spared this pain if they take a look at their social options from within the game
It felt like a miracle to me that the developers included such a wonderful option to disable Team Chat to avoid messages from strangers completely
And in addition they added the option to report someone for “Abusive Chat” which also automatically blocks that user from sending any text messages your way
Now I am not advising anyone to avoid socializing or discussing strategy completely within the game
Do understand that I do chat and quite enjoy it
I just simply only chat with friends and party members
They are way more likely to listen than total strangers anyway
this is a team game no chat=> fiind other game
Heroes of the Storm being a Team Game is no reason to tolerate insults from complete strangers
Why else do you think Developers included an option to disable Team Chat completely in the first place?
I am fine with chatting with friends and people I am in a party with
Chatting with strangers being voluntary instead of being mandatory is one of the many amazing things about this game
Looks like you are misunderstanding what HOTS is. This is a game that contains all heroes from all Blizzard’s universes for one simple purpose — to get out your cash. And they got all the cash they could, then abandoned development. It was never up the hill. If you gonna look at heroes you will see that they all are just copy of league of legend and dota heroes. Nothing new or special. Game mods is also a copy. Champions were already there in other games like Starcraft, Diablo etc, they only created Vikings from scratch (and those suсk hard anyway). Zero effort, but big outcome. They were so lazy that haven’t even implemented basic reconection system, matchmaking system or report system. 3/3 fails. And if you gonna add any other modern game parameters, it will be following same road: 4/4 fails, 5/5 fails, 6/6 fails. Look at skins - mostly they are just recolours. Look at heroes - they have same skills over and over and over. Look at their promises over course of last years - not a single one fulfilled.
This is disaster from first days until now. HOTS was at the bottom of the ocean all the time long.
We only have one of those in this game:
This is HEROES of the Storm
NOT Champions of the Storm
By saying stuff like this it is YOU who is proving that YOU are the one who actually misunderstands Heroes of the Storm
The Lost Vikings existed BEFORE even the FIRST WARCRAFT GAME:
The Lost Vikings was originally released for the Super NES in 1993
Warcraft: Orcs & Humans was first released on MS-DOS in North America on 23 November 1994
We also have a hero who was specifically made for this game:
So you would have been wrong either way
It is like you do not even play this game!
If your the healer, you should not go solo laning leaving your 4 frends without u,
ur the support, u shud b with at least ONE of yor frends,
but AI is AI , u can do anything in tht,
This Game is awesome,
Honestly, even i get pissed at times when i jump in to safe one of my own, and he runs away not even bothering to land a long range ability to help me cope up with the 2 ppl tht were bashing him.
But thts how it is. Practise ur combos in training mode,
shoot those combos in AI , and then go QM , not ranked, QM
Play brawl, it helps u a lotttttt to learn team fights and positioning,
I made this small set of steps, n i have followed them ,
1= Stutter stepping
2= Hit 1 ability and move bak (DONT DIE)
3= Hit combos and move bak (DONT DIE)
4= Get highest damage in team with decent KDA ratio
5= Get highest damage in game with decent KDA ratio
6= Multiple Kills , 3 to 4
7= Entire Team wipe out , 5 kills
I play assassins. so my steps talk abt damage,
but from step 1 to step 4 , those ones helped me to get better in heroes tht i play,
I play Li Ming now
I don’t think that this game is that similar to LoL or Dota… Indeed there are some similarities, but system is different, game style and some things also. This is newer, and more prefers team play than steal kills and some sheet you need to do to be better than others. Then that is not a teamwork. if you want to play multiplayer and teamwork game, this one is for you better than others, my personal opinion.
welcome to the internet
trashtalking in competitiv games should be okay as long as it not insults or racism or death threats
in my opinion the easily offended are ruining the game more than anything else (after the afkers), people who reports you for a stop feed please after their 0/12, and call you toxic
