Couple of my friends switched from League to Heroes, got Rank 1 in both Hero and Team league within a month

I queue'd with them in quickmatch and everyone just seems awful. I get solo kills left and right, enemies have no idea how to rotate etc

I assume going pro in this game is super easy?

dude i played what 30-40 hero league games so far trust me u can either get a good team who knows what to do or a dog shit team


60% of the time the dog shit team is what u get

right now like just now i played lili a support champ went full heal spec and i outdamaged an illidan

team was god awful retarded thats why i dont want to support because i know for a fact people suck ass

Typically speaking a group of friends who are all rank 1 and farmiliar with other MOBAs who are partied up together in QM have an insanely high chance of winning. Especially if you are matched against 5 strangers who are leveling up free heroes.

Team League ranks right now are kinda a joke because so few members of the community have 4 equally skilled friends and want to spend 5-30 minutes queuing up for a TL match.

Alright, so I am guessing that you were somewhere between D3-Master in league which puts you at around the top .5-.1% of the community IIRC....so when you are better than ~99.5% of the community of a more mechanically challenging game then sure, everyone is going to seem really bad.

I only played league (first moba) a couple months and got to diamond, then quit. After that when I went back to a MOBA (HotS) I played and after a while got pretty good (HotS equivalent of challenger)....whenever I que up for a game I feel the exact same way that you do. Most people are fucking god awful shitmonger retards.

Part of that is because the majority of pro players rarely if ever play outside of scrims.

Another part of that is because HotS has a small playerbase...meaning less good people at the top.

TLDR: Despite all of this it isn't easy going "pro" in this game. To put it into perspective...Team Blaze is a HotS team that is probably #3 in NA and they aren't even sponsored......and all of the Original Team Blaze members were League Challengers who decided to switch games because "HotS is easy to go pro in".

We also have a couple league Master/Challenger players here in SC_Leader and Burton_Clash and while they are way better than 99.9% of the HotS community they still aren't pros competing for the big bucks.

seiqooq is on a semi pro team with a couple of noobs he has to carry though.

People just seemed to take free damage, be oblivious to ganks, caught in rotation. Seemed to have no game sense in general



seiqooq is trash and I feel like Dane isn't pursuing a pro video game career

daneski has been doing tryouts for shitter teams but he doesn't put in much effort cause he doesn't think any of them are that good (which is accurate).

It isn't easy to even get a tryout for one of the two good teams in NA because he isn't well known yet in HotS but even if he did I dunno if he would be good enough to get on one. The reason I say that is just because half the players on both of those teams are former LCS players from league and the other half who don't have a serious moba background are actually better than them. daneski is right up there talentwise but I don't think you can get on a top team when your main goal in the game is to troll all the retards lol.

You are probably 100% accurate in your description of your QM games though but honestly most people just troll that shit. To put it into perspective...I have a challenger level MMR for HL but roughly a d3 MMR for QM....mostly cause I troll and feed in QM and play with really bad players like my brother/gf/their friends.

daneski is an even better example as he is roughly top 20-30 on the HL leaderboards but has like a d5 MMR for QM....he literally face tanks 1v5 on purpose in QM lol.

TLDR: If you want a semi decent match you need to get ~3600-3700 MMR in HL and play during peak hours. That is pretty much the only scenario which you can get games with 3700-3800 MMR averages where people aren't always complete retards.

Team League is just a joke right now so don't even worry about that. I am pretty sure the only people who focus on TL and try to climb the leaderboards are people that suck too much at the game to get decent HL mmr without boosting.

I remember boosting you out of gold in league.

Rank 1 in this game is a joke. I got to rank 3 in under 100 ranked games playing with my bronze friends from league and haven't played since.

matchmaking systems means you can get rank 1 without vsing other rank 1 players

game is pretty easy to pick up too

I don't know why it makes you feel so important to come here and say this over and over again but yes, you did in fact get me out of gold in my first moba (LoL) roughly 2 weeks after I started playing ranked. Congratulations, you accomplished something only a few million other people on the planet could accomplish and you only had to tell everyone here 10 times before it got acknowledged so now everyone knows how elite you are. Too bad you are still a nobody in league....and if you switched to shitty ass HotS you would be a nobody there too.



Yeah, everyone knows that Rank 1 is a joke. That's because Rank 1 is literally more than 2% of the entire ranked playerbase.....so obviously it isn't very exclusive. A new ranking system is being implemented in the coming months with Master/GM added which will make the game a lot more rewarding for high tiered players. You don't have to worry about that though because you couldn't get GM even in HotS.
