    psychospy: Well there is still bots on the unoffical servers, but ye BNet removed bots on 1.30.2 :P

    Well thats an evergoing balancing since your not really supposed to be uneven teams. But yes if the solo player is not totaly lost or bad and the people he faces are quite passive and gives the solo player time to use all that gold (165%) and get 200% Exp. Almost like when people are doing any none basic setup strat if you give them the time and gold they need they'll be quite strong.

    Still as said the best way to fix this is to have Balanced teams 2v2v2v2 / 1v1v1v1 :P
    playing alone vs bigger teams has it own little meta but as anything mostly if you dont kill someone they might kill you in the end :)
    But ye this is something we've worked at for like the last 6 years :P


    Thanks & have a Merry XMas and Happy New Years :P

    Hey! I have to say I'm really sad that bot can't host the map anymore. I miss stats and quick queues.
    Anyway! That's history and we need to move on.

    So I noticed, especially now, when people leave game more often than before, that player playing alone is definitely overpowered. Getting too much XP, too much gold and really stomping hard any 2 player team. Now I know it's a delicate matter, because what feels too strong now can easily become weak as fuck after even minor change, but... Please try to fix this. Maybe 10% xp and gold nerf will do for a good start, to see what happens.

    Thanks for the best and most balanced custom map W3 ever had!

    Best regards :-)

    @landsoul: Hello Thanks for posting :P
    1: SpeedScroll dont remove any "collision, youre thinking of GhostScroll.

    2: Yes are several mana heavy heroes, however you can go back to base and heal up mana or buy pots.
    The comments about item change without any explaination or argumentative points makes it hard to understand why those changes should be made but ok :P

    3:That depends alot in how you use the hero and what hero it is but yes true a hero can rarely tank & turn the tide just by "being there". Well that all depends what you mean by "mid game" but are several defensive items or upgrades you can get :)

    4: A very small % use those 2 anyway so adding more wouldnt really make sense or have the "need" But ye summons and more or less anything can be counterd quite hard if one knows how to & spend the time & money for it :P

    landsoul (Monday, 10 December 2018 07:27)

    1. Please remove collision removal from speed scroll, it's pretty cancer. The counters, although there are multiple: TP, repair, invuln pot, dispel, all are 4x as expensive and much more difficult to use.

    2. Hero sustain: Too easy to run out of mana without mana items. Add a 2nd tier mana regen item between Lore helm I and regular sobi. Decrease mana gained and decrease cooldown of lore helm. Increase potency of regen ring / life crown I and II regen. Decrease cooldown of life helm.

    3. Other than their spells, a naked hero's presence in the lane is trivial. The durability/damage of the hero without items do not keep on par with unit damage EHP and normal unit upgrades. If you do not invest completely in items, then the hero is paper with wet noodle. If you do choose to invest in items, there is not a healthy variety of defensive choices in the mid game. This contrasts heavily with weapon increments.

    4. Add more dispel counterplay options to summons and scrolls other than dark wizard, troll priest.

    @Fremor94: Hello, IDK in 7 days we wont have bot hosting anywhere. so if someone/something is hosting HP you might wanna ask them and not us :) But no clue why rubattle dont have a game up, think it was removed months ago for some reason. and since we mainly(only) play on BNet it didnt matter to us anyway.
    And nope dont know who you are so cant really be "afraid" of you, and even if I did that wouldnt matter, cant speak for everyone else tho :P
    Ok GL in that regard then xD
    We've had 2 bots up and hosting for a long time now 1 on BNet and 1 on alot of other servers, why its not on rubattle idk. you might wanna try iccup or eurobattle or something you might have more luck there.
    And if they wanna play with statistics they might wanna play something else cuz HP dont really have stats, unless you mean the game count :P

  • #397

    Fremor94 (Thursday, 22 November 2018 23:48)

    Hey lads, when on the server rubattle.net again will start to run Hero Push? There used to be a host card now no.
    Are you afraid of me? I already want to shake the nerves of a pair of three foreigners.

    Give a specific answer why there are no hosts on multiple servers? People want to play with statistics.

    Pale-Jedi (Monday, 20 August 2018 16:23)

    @cptnmorgan1993: No reason other then that it might not host on your server at the moment, might be USEast/West that are having problem EU & Asia seems to be fine atm.

    Hey there, For some reason for the past few weeks I havent been able to find Hero Push in the custom games menu anymore. Is there a reason why I am unable to see the game anymore? Thanks for any feedback.

    NICKBRAND (Thursday, 09 August 2018 20:23)

    Well, I just tried ALL possible combinations in single mode (with money cheates - including the hinted shop) for the new secret dragonslayer item and it won't work, so I think there is some kind of mistake :(

  • #378

    Pale-Jedi (Tuesday, 07 August 2018 15:32)

    @george We dont have "moderators", We have Clan members. In what way is it you think that they/some "abuse the game"?
    Well good on you, the new heroes have fixed rng to enable that they get played & tested. So indeed its no coincidence.

    Who/How/What is "ban racist" ?

  • #377

    george (Sunday, 05 August 2018 13:36)

    idea: keep your moderators in check and dont allow them to abuse the game. getting same hero 5 games in a row doesnt seem like a coincidence to me. also ban racist?

    lol i’m te only one that reports bugs here? :P
    Anyway, the spell that link units (of the Tauren Hero) is a bit bugged. U can upgrade it early (hero lvl 3-that spell lvl 2). Also, u can’t see the icon when u upgrade it.

  • #374

    CTW (Monday, 09 July 2018 08:06)

    First time in a while i could get DH, and i tested it; so yeah is just as u say. Btw, i think before the new patch i did same thing but with BladeMaster, and cloak of flames worked well... or maybe that didn’t happened and i just remember wrong :P

  • #373

    wTc[Dragon] (Wednesday, 27 June 2018 17:19)

    @CTW about the Panda: you still get full xp for killing the hero but fix gold values since the strength of the ulti is also consistant and heroe bountys depend mostly on items and researches. About the DH all i have is a theorie: all units can only have the same buff once. That's why Cloak of Flames for ex do not stack with each other. So maybe an illusion applied the buff to a unit and since it can't deal dmg, the cloak doesn't work. And then prob the DH himself was not able to apply the buff since it was already on. If you use ur strat again try to split illusions and hero (please tell me if it worked cuz this is just a theorie).

  • #372

    CTW (Saturday, 23 June 2018 20:57)

    Hi. I was with the DH, using the red cloak of flames. When the DH used Mirror Image (is that the name?) i noticed that the original DH didn’t make any damage with the fire cloak, nor the copies of him. Like if the enemies could get damage from only 1 cloak per player (the mirror images). A bug? :/

  • #371

    Pale-Jedi (Friday, 22 June 2018 19:52)

    @CTW: Good question thats not something everyone would notice, No it's not a bug, its more about the "form" that they were in. Since the orginal form has items and is only 1 the math for the gold&exp you gain is diffrent from the "non hero elementals".
    So ye its intentional :)

  • #370

    CTW (Thursday, 21 June 2018 08:30)

    Hi. I just killed the Panda hero (he was in the wind, fire and earth form). When i killed the last of the 3 forms, I just gained like 80 gold, and he was like lvl 20. Later I killed the original hero, and i earned 300 gold. Is that a bug? :P

  • #369

    wTc[Dragon] (Saturday, 16 June 2018 14:14)

    @hans1337 ofc im interested in balancing the map. First of all the Death Knight's ultimate is considered as summoned units, so they are dispellable with a Troll Mage for ex. It just so happens that some heroes have a prime time because not all skills can work lategame. If u just focus lavaspawns so the player has to move them, they don't attack and won't split. Against a Storm Reaver you can buy a Dark Mage to Purge the buffs (other ways to remove magic can be found in the Quest Log). Aswell you can find some tips there how to protect your base but just to mention some: dispell the scrolls before they get close enough to your base or use an invul pot with your base.

  • #368

    wTc[Dragon] (Saturday, 16 June 2018 14:02)

    @CTW the issue has been fixed, Blizzard broke the Tinker passive ability, which Mark of the Claw and Talon are based on. In the fixed version you can find a hit about the new secret item in the Patchnotes.

    @cyborg0 yesterday Agnet fixed an issue where people could not join the lobby, so maybe it's fixed now. Otherwise you need to contact him on our discord.

  • #367

    Pale-Jedi (Thursday, 14 June 2018 18:07)

    @Fremor94: Hello, Well Sometimes the bot dont host on all servers and as you may know BNet & the others arent really synced anymore due to 1.29.
    And you might have been looking when no games were ongoing, however seems the current (lobbies) arent showing as they used to.
    Well none likes the leavers but part from banning them all theres not alot that can be done to prevent them from RQ or alike.

    @cyborg0: Hey! humm thats annoying, perhaps you play on mac? IDK what the problem might be atm tho hopefully it will be fixed(or alrdy has).

    @CTW: Sup, ye it might have atm I've not tried it myself but going to out discord might enable to you explain the problem(s) to wTc[Dragon] or some of the players that have played it.

    And no I will not, you might be lucky in time to find it or bump into someone that wanna share it :P

  • #366

    CTW (Monday, 11 June 2018 07:53)

    Hey! So i think with the new version, Hero Push has some bugs (i love this patch anyway lol, ty :D). Both Druids, their abilities have problems. I would love to give more details but my English isn’t that good hahaha.

    PD: Can u give us a clue about the new secret item? >.>

    Fremor94 (Sunday, 10 June 2018 02:19)

    Greetings! (I'm playing on version 1.27)
    Understand with the bot. Why does not a bot host appear on the server of rubattle.net? Or does it appear but there are only Russian and Ukrainian players and on the site http://wtc.rusdota.net there is no game played? What kind of inconvenience is this?) I want to play this card and improve my experience.
    And why the opposite of my nickname the flag of Russia, although I live in Ukraine http://wtc.rusdota.net/gameinfo/?rdr=1&id=89671
    (this is of fundamental importance to me)?

    And I would like to know how to complain about the leavers? And then the player who has only 4-10 games specifically chooses a player with a long experience of the game, and after the start immediately pours. Why is he doing this?

  • #363

    Pale-Jedi (Friday, 01 June 2018 16:50)

    @Landsoul: Hello :)
    Yes Baseaim is a playstyle that has been around for a really long time, and as you say there are several ways to prevent this.
    Tip: F9 have some info related to most of the overall strats.
    To have an inbuilt pot is an intresting idea tho. We had something simular long long time ago.


    @Fremor94 Greetings to you too! :D
    Well since 1.29 patch BNet & all non 1.29 servers arent linked anymore.
    That might be why. or your only playing when people from rus/ukr are online xD


    @hans1337: Well balancing & tailor after someones wishes isnt the same thing tho. As landsoul said you can stop it, so if you dont want the game to end like that then try not to die? Yes the DKs ultimate is kinda nice. And there is a way to counter it, if there wasnt it would have been patched away years ago. Yes I like this too, tho most seems to fokus heroes abit more then then should. Might be cuz they saw someone make it work 1 time and wanna be that strong too maybe :P You can do alot more then just pump gold into the hero :)
    Some hardcoded changes in 1.29 has changed a few things tho.

  • #362

    hans1337 (Friday, 01 June 2018 15:12)

    other than that, i really enjoyed playing the map so far and its cool to see that you can either invest in your summons or invest in your hero and still get far in the game. and its cool that the heroes and skills have good diversity

  • #361

    hans1337 (Friday, 01 June 2018 15:10)

    @pale-jedi: your response to narali somehow comes across like you are not really interested in balancing? like, with the lavaspawns: shouldnt most skills be relevant/useful for the whole duration of the game, not have a "prime time" in which they are overpowered?
    also, when you have tier 4 upgrade melee units, save up 25 controllables of them and use the different scrolls, you can just run in and destroy one players base. doenst feel like this should be the way a game ends.

    one thing i had happening today: the arthas undead knight (whatever his name) was resurrecting acolytes (dunno if its his skill or the scroll) and just attacking the base. because they are invulnerable, there was no way to counter it and they just destroyed the base

  • #360

    Fremor94 (Friday, 01 June 2018 00:22)

    Greetings!
    Why now, when you play Hero Push, meet only with Russian and Ukrainian players, and Europeans - no?

    For example, it's very interesting to play with players from other countries.

  • #359

    Landsoul (Friday, 01 June 2018 00:01)

    Speed Scroll + Ghost Scroll
    A popular strategy is to use both with a mass of saved up reserve units and simply right-click on the enemy base. If their base is not high enough or don't have invuln pot in base, then just lose the game in 3 seconds.

    You can possibly react to it buy purchasing an invuln pot and transferring it to the base unit as quick as you can, but the game is very laggy during the time dozens of units are scrolled.

    I would suggest adding an invuln shield ability to the base with a 5 to 10 minute cooldown, to give players an option to react to base-click.

    Thanks to you for the map

    @Narali: Ahh well thats nice to hear :) Youre welcome to play another 120+ games ;D

    #1: Too strong compared to what?

    #2: Well ye most things have their "prime" time I would say, alot depends on use tho.

    #3: Yes reaver seems to be a really good move vs n00bs :P

    #4: Thats good means more people have started to learn how one can play :)

    #5: Ye that seems to come & go in waves tho, just cuz most people dont use a unit doesn't mean its not good xD

    #6: Well that kinda depend but ye the demolishers isnt really the go-to in early games :P

    #7: Ok ? Isnt the upgrades in main base too expensive for what they do then aswell :)?

    TL;DR Well you can try and read/search for tips in F9 and just learn/test counters ;D

  • #357

    Narali (Sunday, 20 May 2018 20:25)

    Heya,

    I've been playing Hero Push for a while now (I think 120+ games or so) and noticed some things that maybe should be looked at. Some things happen too often or are just too frustrating to play against/too hard to respond to and some things are too weak/dont see any play.

    - Ranged agility heroes with passive/auto attack ultimates are too strong. crit+metamorph Illidan also seems to fall there for the lategame.

    - In the early game, Firelord/Ragnaros is too dominant with Lavaspawns aswell as Melee STR heroes with Firecloak

    - Stormreavers are too cheap/lightning shield+rejuv too strong which also further enables firecloak melee heroes

    - Scroll usage is too common. Speedscroll is way too cheap with 50 gold and the effect of the ghost scroll is overtuned compared to the much more expensive rezz scroll.

    - Some mercenaries are overtuned compared to the alternatives. Kobolds/Priests/Wargolems/Guards every game while other units like Makuras never get played.

    - Tower rushes are too hard to respond to for most people and demolishers are too expensive to answer one.

    - In the research center, many upgrades are unused because they are too expensive for what they do. Masonry/Base armor, Creep/Summon upgrades and other race upgrades.


    TLDR; Nerf the OP mercenaries that are in every game slightly, Make scrolls more expensive, Nerf ranged agi heroes with passive ultimates, make demolishers and some upgrades cheaper, make stormreaver+firecloak strats less efficient.
