At first I liked the patch, the more I play, the more it's frustrating
I will start with the good things :
Core changes & abilities. And that's it.
Solo lane has even less impact since you can't push if you win it
You can't push anymore with objectives or your frontlane gets destroyed, instead you have to split push, especially in early game which is against the first principle of HOTS : Objectives & Teamplay
The early game is -near- useless and late games comps basically almost always win
Games length are increased but way too much, often for no reasons. Even if you dominate, like you take a kill and it's a 5v4 situation lvl 20, you can't push and can't do anything except if boss up (And no, you must not do an hard camp lvl 20 lads)Most of the time, in the very late game (lvl 20 & +) you just do nothing and simply wait for next objective
Some heroes are dead. Poison heroes (As long as 1 hero ennemy has poison you have aggro), heroes that must interact with ennemy team (Whitemane, Malf ..) AOE heroes (Gul'Dan ..)
Being frontlane is very very frustrating, your team just wait for you to do things but you can't zone opponents carrys. Either to prevent them from depushing camps/boss/objectives/waves for free or to punish a carry that is overextend in front of his gates
Winning the game overall doesn't reward you as much as it should
Before, if you managed to hit the AOE simultaneously structures + heroes (Ex : 1 Q spell of Kaelt'Thas) that was skill, now it's a mistake.
Opposite side, before if you dodged an AOE, it was skill, now you walk in so the guy takes aggro, how is that normal ??
You can't push solo anymore
HOTS has an identity, we're all here cause we like this moba for reasons, and how structures work are one reason, we don't want to copy any other mobas. You can inspire of course, but don't copy, it just doesn't fit to HOTS
Heroes take aggro over vehicles ..
I think it's important to tell you when it's good but it is as well when it's not good. Please make some adjustments or just cancel it as it's a nexus anomaly. There are good things in the patch, but game has become weird and frustrating
I would say overall that many players are happy cause there are a lot of "casual" players which is good. But it kills (even more :) ) the competitive scene and high elos games. Truely.
