Hello, I am here to bring you the latest Blizzcon HOTS update copium.

The schedule for Blizzcon has been released... (link here: https://blizzcon.com/en-gb/schedule/)

The two sessions I screenshotted are directly after the HOTS Classic Cup match.

Will "Custodians of Legacy Games" finally unveil the identity of our beloved janitor?
Will the "Classic Game Deep Dive" reveal anything new about our favourite dead MOBA?

The "classic Blizzard games" featured on that stage are Starcraft: Remastered, Starcraft II, Warcraft III and... HOTS. So I guess it's gotta be one of them. But they're definitely keeping *something* hidden for now.

Please post your conspiracy theories and hopes and dreams in the comments.

May the odds be ever in our favour, HOTS enjoyers

Sometimes i get bored and i start playing murky just to have fun. Especially when there is a butcher in opposite team and find out who is real prey lmao. Not always working but when it works its a pleasure. And also, how cancer can be murky

Call it hopium or whatever you want, but this just seems so strange when you think about it, a classic match, then something probably about all of Blizzard's classic games, and how they are being and will be maintained and boom, a deep dive about the remake/sequel of HoTS

If it does happen, one of the first new heroes will 100% be Lilith from D4

Cowabunga moment in ranked

Been playing since release never seen this before (Storm league btw)

Has anyone ever gotten this quest done with both teams being equal skill?

Even against Versus Ai i struggle to get it (still haven't gotten it)

So is it possible to even get it done in any game mode with serious players?

Hello everyone,

About two months ago, I shared a small hobby project I’ve been working on to learn C#: HotS Replay Reader.

I was honestly a bit intimidated to post it, but the feedback and kindness from this sub were incredibly heartwarming.

Thanks to your early bug reports and ideas, I was able to release a quick v0.1.1 shortly after.

Since then, I’ve kept working on it in my free time to fix some larger issues and add quality-of-life improvements.

Here is what’s new in v0.3.0:

What’s New:

Fixed Replay Parsing: Replays from HotS version 2.55.16.97039 and newer are now correctly parsed.

Chat messages: Chat messages from both teams are now displayed!

Auto Update: An auto-update functionality has been added.

Faster Setup: Data download from heroes-data and heroes-data2 is now much faster.

Compatibility: Added compatibility with the new Heroes.Element libraries and data.

Quick reminder of what the app does:

* Reads your HotS replay folders

* Shows teams, groups, winners, kills, and rewards

* Player tooltip with an estimated AFK timer

* Chat messages (can be translated if a DeepL API key is provided in the application properties)

* Scoreboard with a detailed estimated MVP score

* Talents and abilities panel

The app is still just a humble learning experiment, so there might still be quirks (and I can still only test it on my European Battle.net account).

If you decide to give it a try or update it, please let me know if everything works fine or if you encounter any bugs! Thank you again for all the support.

"I've gotten my 500th mvp today!"

Kinda useless, but also fun.

Yeah it would likely be a nerf, but I feel that the silence at 20 is too powerful. Her ult is already pretty good if not interrupted, I don't see why it would need to silence the entire team as well. And making her unstoppable wouldn't be a straight nerf, it would actually be helpful in certain situations, such as preventing long ranged heroes from interrupting it from outside its range. Thoughts?

I think uh. Qhira may need a nerf.

I am a new player and want to understand is QM filled with bots? I haven’t seen any at the start, but now it feels like I have at least 3 per both teams, they all do the same things movement and focus on stuff feels robotic

Does anyone have an account on that website? Can you please ask the leaker about HOTS in that thread?

When the game was loading, I heard the domino tower my son was building collapse. I quickly ran upstairs and gave him a big hug to calm him down. Once he was good, I went back to the game, missing the first minute and a half. I explained what happened and the team was supportive.

After the game, I promised to share the pictures of the finished domino structure and wanted to share our chat log for context. However, when I saw the full chat logs from both teams, I realized two very different experiences were happening, so I decided to share the whole chat log.

In one game, we have a team who's joking around, being silly, and talking about dominos, while the other team is full on raging at each other (with the Cassia trying her best to deflate).

As promised, I included some pictures of his structure. There was the massive base and the building up of the next two-three layers. Sadly, once he got near the top, the structure fell again(that type of design is perilous), so he decided not to build anymore. This time he took it like a champ and shrugged it off with a "it happens". That's my boy, brush it off son.

If he ever finishes it (not likely), I'll update this post with the final design.

Hellow :3 coming back after a long time. Is there any up to date guide site for characters?

I think if there's any hero that desperately needs a mythic quest in the next patch is 100% Artanis.

In my opinion, it shouldn't be too difficult to implement either. Protector of Aiur is pretty bad on its own but if it were cooked into his kit it would dramatically change his potential.

I'm picturing something like this:

Protector of Aiur- removed, now baseline mythic quest.

Halfway quest: Achieve 100 extra damage, Artanis' twin blades now gain 25% extra range

Mythic quest: Achieve 200 extra damage, Artanis' twin blades now get 50% extra range

This also lets him achieve his Zealot Charge previously on 20 at a faster level if the Artanis player is any good, Zealot Charge is a huge game changer for Artanis which is why its understandably at level 20, but it also competes with other useful level 20 talents which I think starve Artanis for choice too much.

Furthermore to replace Protector of Aiur he could get a new lvl 1 talent

Footwork (or something like that): When at 50% or below HP Artanis moves at 20% extra speed

Amateur Opponent: Changed to 25% extra damage on non heroic targets- to compensate for the fact that he'd now have protector of aiur baseline

And lastly at level 20 he could use something like

Defiance: Instead of dying Artanis gets a shield equal to 75% equal to his health, long cooldown perhaps 100 seconds.

Just some thoughts!

If it's not Brightwing, I see very very often Anduin getting banned in ranked. I'm talking about low ELO, Gold end to Bronze.

Is he that much of a threat ?
