how the fuck is this balanced?>>1481384
QM matchmaking has limited categorisation of hero capabilities. It does avoid putting more than 1 stealth assassin on the same team, same with more than 1 macro hero (Vikings, Abathur etc.), but there is no such categorisation of how good each Bruiser is at tanking. Only the rule of "either both teams will have a Tank hero (incl. Varian) or neither will".>>1481229

Ah kek I thought you were talking about constantly getting pings from the baseline quest>>1481384
The other guy isn't quite right--neither team has a tank in that photo, they're all bruisers; but QM does try to match more than just tanks (healers for example are matched).
The issue is that a number of characters are very poorly categorized, such as Chen and Dehaka. Ragnaros and Chen are the same category, so even though the game heavily prefers matching that, it doesn't distinguish between how tanky the bruisers are, and you can easily end up in shit games like that one in QM.>>1481384

Pfft, StarCraft II has tournaments going still and its last content update was much earlier than HotS's. For better or worse, Blizzard games are never simply forgotten.>>1482501
starcraft 2 is the legendary king of its genre with no competition except brood war.
this is a copy of league and dota with no market share.>>1482510

Made by Blizzard with Blizzard characters. In case of Overwatch and WoW heroes, HotS is the only good Blizzard game where they are playable.>>1482478
>thought nobody played this since blizz abandoned it
you got it wrong, thats the exact reason people ARE playing it
dont even want to imagine how modern blizzard would ruin hots
they did enough damage with the overwatch characters already>>1482501

Not only does SC2 still have tourneys; fucking BW still does.
ASL had a prize pool of ₩78,000,000 KRW (≃ $56,600 USD) this year. Viewership is really hard to calculate because a lot of it is done on player's streams (they give commentary) on Afreeca but the English alone was above 100k I think if you include VOD, so easily 250k+.
Broodwar is twenty six years old.
Blizz games are essentially forever, for better or worse. Warcraft 3, even with the absolutely botched remake, has more than 5k viewers on Twitch right now.
HotS is not going anywhere, even if it never gets touched again.
