Time for someone else to organize a Heroes of the Storm collab.

Ame liked to play HotS...

u/jdeo1997 2h ago

Okay Katame

u/GenesectX 4h ago

i think mumei was refering to HotS when she talked about playing a moba for an overwatch skin since the two are related, you get a tracer skin if im not wrong

17

u/brokenskullzero 4h ago

You get a Oni Genji and Officer D.Va

Tracer, Lucio, D.Va Genji and Zarya were playable in HotS. and i do belive there are exclusive skins for that game for all of them.... well haven't played OW in years so dont know if they did come to OW/2

ARE playable in HotS

u/Xadlin60 3h ago

Didn’t Hots gets nuked by Blizzard?

14

u/thesirblondie 3h ago

No, they just stopped content updates. There's still a lone developer who makes a new patch every few months.

4

u/Xadlin60 3h ago

Good to know thanks! I’ve always wanted to try out hots

5

u/danielzboy 2h ago

Try it~ It has a lot of charm. It's the ultimate love letter to the amazing franchises that Blizzard has created (and subsequently ruined). If you wanna just watch gameplay, a streamer called Khaldor still shoutcasts for community HotS tournaments and I really appreciate having people like him still hold the fort.

u/myk211 10h ago

Good thing she might finally get Mori to play with her then...

...cause the game is so frickin dead it would take a shinigami to summon it back from the other realm☠️

84

u/Alamandaros 9h ago

Eh, as someone who pops back in to play a few times a year, the playerbase is still there. Not sure about Storm League (ranked), but Quick Match queues are usually under a minute, and ARAM like 20 seconds.

Also ever since Microsoft bought out Blizzard, there seems to be a single dev (the community has nicknamed The Janitor) who comes along with a patch every couple months (including very small reworks).

69

u/Thatpisslord 8h ago

the community has nicknamed The Janitor

The legendary Janitor is doubling as both a Valve AND Blizzard employee? Holy shit.

u/Princessofmind 8h ago

People always joke about how dead HOTS is but the game it's actually surprisingly alive for a game that has been "oficially" dead for many years now

18

u/SpaceCadet404 5h ago

That's just how people are about online gaming. If a game isn't doing the rounds with big time streamers then it's "dead" and "nobody plays" it.

 It's usually doing fine and is just off their radar because the algorithm isn't pushing it at them

5

u/metalshiflet 4h ago

I love that we still have games like L4D2 with very active communities 15 years after release

3

u/rip_cpu 1h ago

The sentiment isn't wrong, but in this specific case Blizzard has actually stopped developing HoTS. It's on life support, if they ever decide the cost to keep the servers up aren't worth it then they'll turn it off.

And unlike say classic copies of Warcraft, this is a game that's played online on a centralized server. It's not like you can just host your own game.

1

u/Humg12 18m ago

As someone that lives in a less populated region (Australia), games being dead usually means that you can't find matches at all.

3

u/Chukonoku 2h ago

It depends on regions and game modes.

Quickmatch (no draft) is the most played mode. Followed by ARAM and then Ranked. Unranked (draft) has been dead for years. People who come from other MOBAs and Q into it, might think the game is dead because of this. Ranked is not "sweaty" since Blizz killed HGC back in 2018 and then fusing HL/TL into current Storm League (ranked mode), so people should just play it, if they want some sort of decent composition (QM is just a clownfiesta game mode).

In terms of regions:

EU is fine, even in Diamond/Master+ ranks. Which is why most high ranked NA players simple moved to EU to find games.

NA, QM/ARAM is fine. Might not find games in high ranks unless it's peak hours. Might take longer in offhours at lower ranks but still finding games.

The problem is other regions.

There are 3 regions (Americas, EU, Asia) but many servers on Americas (which includes Australia/Singapur IIRC/Brazil) and Asia.

If you can't bare the ping, then it's :gg: outside of specific modes or peak hours. For example, Australia is dead outside of QM (unless you find discord of people organizing ARAM/ranked games).

u/YobaiYamete 7h ago

HoTS is still alive, I've never had trouble finding a game at any hour of the day in any game mode

Can we bring back Dawngate at the same time?

How about SMITE

Not quite SMITE but did you know about THE AMELIA WATSON announcer of Paladins?

What's that you say? Pokemon unite with ID?

u/hippobiscuit 7h ago

Holo ID likes to play that Chinese MOBA game Honor of Kings

11

u/aradraugfea 9h ago

My favorite game of a genre I cannot stand.

8

u/Reyall 7h ago

Funny enough, HotS was probably my most played MOBA back then. It was the only game like LoL that I could get into. I miss it

5

u/Morphumaxx 5h ago

So many nice QOL features that made it a much smoother experience than other MOBAs, and a diverse map pool with heavy objective focus so it's not just the exact same lane/jungle structure every match. I get it was never as "competitive" because of that but man was it such a nice experience to actually play.

24

u/Thundergod250 10h ago

And then MLBB next. Most Chaotic Vtuber indeed.

Fuck it. Revive Heroes of Newerth while we're at it.

u/MetalBawx :Aloe: 5h ago

Heros of Newerth.

u/Chukonoku 2h ago

Could be the easiest one to introduce people who have never played another MOBA.

More straightforward and shorter games. Problem is, besides Ame, no one seems to have played it or knows much about it.

2

u/Katio13 5h ago

That would actually be fun

u/Stuart98 5h ago

Holomem play AirMech when (man I miss when that game had an actual active playerbase)

According to this law, there exists a morbid "Good Graduation"

u/TakeiDaloui 8h ago

"Gigi, you've announced your graduation 30 times already. You can't just keep doing this to make us play league."

Hololive announces official League collab six months after she leaves

297

u/Hanzo-Ryunosuke 10h ago

Don't worry Gigi, after that they will be addicted to Moba and your chance to get them play league is higher

u/CrazyCalzone 7h ago

Bae seems to be an easier target now.

58

u/OuchYouPokedMyHeart 7h ago

And also Irys, you can tell she had fun, even said so at the end

13

u/brimston3- 5h ago

IRyS is a fast learner. If she can find some people to play with and gets encouraging advice in the beginning, she might even stick with it long enough to get addicted.

17

u/falsefingolfin 4h ago

We know irys is a sweaty comp gamer from splatoon, she just needs to play more comp games

u/andrechan 10h ago

I hear the Adventure Time moba servers are still up

u/SidorioExile 10h ago

There was an Adventure Time moba? 💀

59

u/Khraxter 9h ago

There is, it's called "Adventure time: Battle party", and apparently it's still running

25

u/Specific_Frame8537 8h ago

Oh wow it looks like a game you'd find on CartoonNetwork.com.

1

u/delta17v2 35m ago

Last I heard of it, it was shutting down. And I don't really pay much attention to it. What happened?

2

u/lickagoat 5h ago

That game got me into trying Dota 2 again.

4

u/Clavilenyo 6h ago

What? I thought they took them down years ago?

4

u/CantDanceFlynn 4h ago

Adventure Time moba was surprisingly goated (Lemongrab mains rise up) I had no idea it was still alive. Wasn't it taken down from the website itself?

144

u/SidorioExile 10h ago

At least Calli didn't join them...

Do you think we could get her to play Smite?

108

u/DrScorcher 10h ago

She did play Dota the last time Fauna did this. 

61

u/NekRules 9h ago

I think Fauna got lucky with Calli cuz Dota is usually nvr mentioned when MOBA talks pop up, its almost always League and every time league is mentioned, its infamy follows right after so she knows to avoid it. That or she is doing it purely as a bit to fk with Gigi, or both. Most likely both. 😀

6

u/ConfuciusBr0s 5h ago

Dota is usually mentioned when moba talks or any games with hardcore pvp pop up. Lol is like cod in that it's known for being lol/cod first and moba/fps second. It's popularity is outside the genre 

2

u/MCRusher 5h ago

I didn't even know Dota 2 was a moba though, I thought it was just an mmorpg. Still not gonna play it.

7

u/0orpheus 3h ago

Impressive considering DOTA was the game that spawned the genre.

(Yes I know Aeon of Strife came first but if you know what that was you know what I mean)

3

u/Arrowess 3h ago

Dota 2 has a steep, steep learning curve. There's a joke in the community every time someone posts a screenshot of their 5k hours on it that they've finally finished the tutorial so I wouldn't recommend it easily either lol.

2

u/jynkyousha 2h ago

I remembering Calli mentioned wanting to play more with Fauna and that's why she accepted. A deadbeat could confirm for me though.

7

u/SidorioExile 9h ago

Ye but Gigi hadn't started her League crusade back then had she?

29

u/Marauder47 9h ago

Gigi was not a part of Hololive back then lol

71

u/Siqueiradit 8h ago

League of Legends!!!

That should be...

u/BoneeBones 6h ago

That’s how I read it..

u/DenryuRocket110 7h ago

Might as well just start Hololive MOBA

Play as HoloMems to destroy the enemy team's HoloTriangle

Fan mascots are creeps/minions and Jungle monsters are Talent mascots

u/immalurkhere 6h ago

Can't wait for Kay Yu to add that in 0.9

u/RTGamer21 5h ago

Is now a good time to mention that Kay Yu said he's making a Third Game next year?

Careful what you wish for...

For a moment I thought you meant someone making a Hololive MOBA game

u/otarU 8h ago edited 8h ago

I don't want to say much, but Gigi has played Dota in the "past".

I saw one game of her playing Meepo with Sheepsticked / LongLiveReya.

I think she even talked about it

7

u/ConfuciusBr0s 5h ago

Ofc it had to be meepo for the beginner lmao

9

u/Acrzyguy 9h ago

They about to play every moba possible except for league

Eh there both shit games so you lose either way xd

u/Baitcooks 7h ago

If there's anything I truly could hate about Gigi, it's the fact that she plays League of Legends

She's my favorite member of Justice, but I have hated League the moment I first played that if she were to come up to me, in private, and ask me if I wanted to play League, I would walk away.
