Came back this week after a few months, can't believe they still haven't fixed the 21:9 support lol, we've been moaning about it since alpha.
Paid £22 for Nova plus all skins, think it was a pretty good bundle, pref Roller Derby Nova as it looks so silly on my alpha rainbow goat
Nothing to fix on the 21:9 support. They will tell you its due to having an unfair advantage with the extra visibilty . So it's never going to happen.
I like lili! Great early game harass, a very good ult and her E is underestimated, If counter picked she can be bad but thats the same with lots of heroes.
It doesn't work, weve been moaning about it since beta (moans getting louder and louder as 21:9 becomes standard).
They haven't even acknowledged the issue yet, however I doubt they would be silly enough to try that myth as people regularly get flamed down on the forums for it (it gives no advantage and actually disadvantages 21:9 players).
It needs to happen ASAP otherwise the game is going to end up looking very dated compared to it's older rivals.

It won't get done.
1) The 21:9 userbase is very small, mine is stuck in the cupboard.
2) They have used that exact excuse for Diablo which also doesn't support it. None of their games apart from WoW support it.
It will have too if they expect HotS to have any longevity.
True but the same can be said of 1080p, the difference is that the user base among gamers isn't that small and is growing by the day hence why the demands for it in HotS are getting louder and louder and all the other major MOBAs already support it.
Ignoring 21:9 during the 16:9--21:9 transition era will leave a game looking very dated just like the ones that chose to only support 4:3 during the 4:3--16:10 transition.
Diablo 3 has supported 21:9 since beta. Regardless the excuse is redundant as HotS's has a 4:3 aspect fog of war which means that you can't see further by using wide format screens, all it does is make it harder to scroll the screen with the mouse.
21:9 is never going to be 'standard'
It's a niche aspect ratio, not worth developing for.

What's this like compared to LoL? Is the community any better as LoL if just kiddy central.
Well ignite has been removed. His power curve is now more linear and not a massive leap from 16. he is still strong.
i find it better than any moba as far as abuse goes.
played a game or 2 with him and have to agree

May as well!

Anyone doing placement matches?
I lost 2 last night thanks to retarded picks from randoms.
I pick first - Go Uther.
Second pick - Valla (good so far)
Third pick - Anub (ok not terrible)
Fourth - (stitches) Are you serious?
Fifth - we all shout "DONT PICK WARRIOR PICK DAMAGE" - E.T.C
A HL game with 3 tanky/warriors ? REALLY
Needless to say it went terribly.

Placement matches can be pretty painful, I have done 6 so far and won 4 but a couple of those were very close with last minute comebacks.
I had forgotten what it was like to be matched with people who don't still understand the basics. It is going to be a long 20 games I feel

Are the placements just totally random then?
Not taking into account anyones hidden MMR?
If anyone wants to do placements together let me know. I have a TS3 server for comms and play mainly supports.
I can only usually manager after 9pm though due to family commitments.

No idea how it works tbh
Some of the people I am being matched with clearly don't understand a lot of the basics so I just kind of assumed you get matched randomly with people above, below and around your MMR to try and work out where you should be placed at the end of the set of games.
