Hero Contest #1 Voting

[Pyritie]

No we're not going to sort it here, in the hero contest voting thread.

 

[NearbyHermit]

I see that you have a piece of decency left!
Enough with this.This is a Hero Contest.And your problem is with burndevil right now,with me you will sort things out later.

 

[Ghan_04]

This issue stops right now. I don't want to hear any more about it.

After doing a bit of investigation of this issue, it seems to me that there is no concrete evidence strong enough to disqualify Pyritie from the contest. The entry, in my opinion, is valid and will be allowed to continue being in the contest.
Any further discussion of this with the upper staff will be carried out outside this thread.

Any more flaming or posts about this argument will be summarily deleted.

Thank you for your time. Let's keep the voting going!

 

[NearbyHermit]

At last,good going Ghan!

 

[xXMephistoXx]

My vote would have to go to "cool_is_i" with his pandaran weapon master. The concept is great, allthough it may not be the most thorough Hero.

Seriously! Don't just link the map! I put a god damned lot of effort into my post with the hero!

 

[NearbyHermit]

My vote,I didnt said,goes to you Mephisto

Fair decission. GG, no more contests for me.

 

[NearbyHermit]

WoW,burn you mean you're leaving?

 

[burnedevil]

WoW,burn you mean you're leaving?

nope. just not taking part to anymore contests. I will vote tought.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Voters arent visiting this thread at all,by the statistic that is going now,Py is winning.

 

[cool_is_i]

getting some votes
how long does the voting last?

 

[Pyritie]

I'll go through all of the entries (as soon as I get time), giving my opinion on each.

Then the vote. :3

 

[cool_is_i]

cool... gl all... except Py
he doesent need it!

 

[Pyritie]

Good luck for what? I'm just doing a review.

 

[~Void~]

ofc pyritie will win. Honestly, no offense or anything, but I think your hero is crap Pyritie
The concept is shit, freaking dragons again, and the rest is good but not the best.

I think donut's hero is the best concept and it's well-coded too.

Edit: Oh, and you're popular, that means you don't get my vote, I am a nonconformist!!

 

[NearbyHermit]

Well guys,so what if he's winning,I personally think that my hero is the best ,but people arent voting mine,they are voting his.So?

 

[Pyritie]

Well guys,so what if he's winning,I personally think that my hero is the best ,but people arent voting mine,they are voting his.So?

Everyone thinks their own is the best, to be honest.

I did not expect mine to get that many votes, to be honest. :B

 

[redscores]

Being popular > being fair, thats the case, thats always the case.

 

[NearbyHermit]

redscores,Py annoyis me lately(but time will heal our broken bond),but I dont understand what you have with him?

And I warn you that the mods may sneak up on this thread and eliminate you for foul-play,it happened to me once.

 

[redscores]

Well, I am neither flaming or something, but around 90% of the contests which are decided through a poll got won by popular people.

Well, it is not my decision, and I wont get angry because of that, I am just pointing something.

 

[NearbyHermit]

I know ,do you ever wonder why one or two mods participate in a contest and they always win?

But there were persons to beat them! Moyack was good,he was great.Look at the Contest Archive

 

[Pyritie]

Moyack was popular.

 

[NearbyHermit]

I loved the guy,he defeated powerfull mods in those contests.

 

[redscores]

I beat HINDYhat too as he was a mod, because my spell was simply better (was a challenge), so what? Whatever.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Well ,you see mods arent graced just because they are mods,they have a higher skill than other members.

 

[redscores]

Thats not true, some members are better as mods, many are. But whatever.

 

[burnedevil]

btw if the links were links from posts we could see how many wievs there are, but as they are now it kinda sux.

I still presume that these are linked the way you can see how many wievs.

[Pyritie]

Okay I went through two entries so far.

Revellion

• (-231) - Aspect of Rathas - what's the difference between that and breath of fire?
• (-437) - Battlechest - Redone berserk buff.
• (-691) - Mare aura - doesn't work
• (-318) - shadow aspect - too short, also doesn't have enough strength to qualify for using ALL of his mana.
• (-343) - balance - Seriously, he gets pwned by three witch doctors for crying out loud. WITCH DOCTORS. Also he gets owned by anything magic. Needs more balancing.
• (-982) - triggers - I'm not even going to bother looking at them.
• (-179) - presentation - blank terrain, enemy heroes are level 10, but at least you included a way for heroes to be resurrected. Also, did you extend the map bounds? You aren't allowed to do that, you know.
• verdict - not only is this hero underpowered, but his spells are all just blizzard spells with changed tooltips and effects. Yawn.

FINAL SCORE: -3,181


Burnedevil

• (-128) - lightning - didn't deal any damage at all at level one, and at level 4 its damage is too big and mana used is too little. Also the area it affects is far too large.
• (-201) - electrical attrition - some buffs or something would be nice to know when the heck anything happened, because for the most part I didn't even notice it doing anything at level 1. At level 4 it suddenly seemed to work.
• (-21) - lightning wave - damage and spell seems alright, but the mana use and cooldown seem a bit short. Also whenever I casted this I got the berserk buff for some reason.
• (-62) - speed of lightning - hero jumps too visibly. If you decreased the distance between the jump and the time between each jump it would've been much smoother.
• (-193) - balance - hard to tell balance because the hero started at level 20. If it started at 1 or something it would've been much better for testing.
• (-297) - triggers - GUI, also good that you deleaked MOST of your triggers. (ghnn leaks near the beginning)
• (-412) - presentation - blank terrain, heroes were all level 20, no way to revive except for ankh, testing units were all peasants, peons, and footmen, too few heroes.
• verdict - at least you did some coding, but your hero's balance needs some work as well just a few aesthetic changes here and there.

FINAL SCORE: -1,314

 

[NearbyHermit]

Woohoo?

What about mine http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/showpost.php?p=583475&postcount=647

Ok,some people just vote and dont look at the other heroes,so I'll describe mine,if I break any rules ,just tell me and I'll erase it.

Namearia
Class:Aqua Assailant
Affiliation:Naga
Skills:Water ,Magic,Amazing Archery
Stats:Agility

Descriptionaria is an Agility based hero,chanelled at killing units and dealing large damage in masses.She is very weak when it comes to a face-to-face fight.
Her spells are 100% based upon her skills and Affiliation,Archery,Magic and Water.

Her first spell concludes shooting bolts that cluster or spread according to distance.
Her second spell is a powerfull arsenal of 5 spells in one,that give her an advantage.One of those skills is summoning Hunter,which is her loyal pet.
Her third spell is an aura that simulates water,her enemy is drenched in water and he is slowed,while she is moving normally trough water as on land.
Her fourth spell is a combination of Magic,Archery and Water,which makes Daria charge an ultimate blast that deals intense damage and upon impact ,deals +200 damage and slows her enemy.

This is her,Draenei Archer model,proper credits were given

This is Hunter,Daria's loyal beast,he has all the spells that Daria has and his job is to protect Daria at all costs.Proper credits were given for the Drake model

Hunter with his health and mana values and both spells.

Daria with her stats and skills

Daria and Hunter,both on the hunting field,Underwater.

Daria's Cluster Shot

As the casting distance is closer to Daria,the waves will spread more ,as the distance is far from Daria ,the waves will cluster into one wave.

Assailant Mastery,gives Daria a powerfull arsenal of spells that will aid her in any hunting condition.

Darias spells-Water Walk which makes her invisible
-Liquid Arrows which increases the arrows potency
-Liquid Trap summons a shell that renders your enemy imovable
-Summon Hunter,if your Hunter dies,summon him again,or why not have 2 Hunters
-Death Penalty,decreases your enemy's armor by 30 at a large cost of mana.

Daria's third spell which gives her a lovely aura effect,that dooms your enemy

Daria's ultimate which is her most powerfull spell that has catastrophic effect.

Firstly ,she charges all the water possible for such a blast.

Then the wave emerges,dealing up to a maximum 500 damage.

Upon finishing its impact range,the wave freezes and explodes in a giant Frost Nova that deals 200 damage ,in total the ultimate deals 700 damage.


Daria has a lot of synergies:
Synergy with her summoned,having the same spells,can sinchronize your attack in perfect balance
Synergy with her Assailant spells:
Death Penalty + Pulsed Shot(Ultimate) = Can deal up to 1000 damage !!!
Death Penalty + Pulsed Shot(Ultimate) + Liquid Trap = 1000 damage and immovable enemy
Death Penalty + Pulsed Shot(Ultimate) + Water Walk = 1000 damage and the enemy wont see you.

This was just a shortly presentation of my hero,play it in order to understand its full potency.Have fun and Goodluck to my fellow adversaries which may have better heroes!

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Too lazy to give description of my hero, so I link you to it instead.
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/showpost.php?p=572639&postcount=296

And I advice people to PLAY ALL the maps before you vote.

I'll go blank for the moment, becuase my laptop fudges up when I play Warcraft maps for 5-20 minutes (ala the freeze of death).

 

[NearbyHermit]

Well the contest hasnt got anymore trouble.Thats great,it seems that I wasnt posting in this thread,for nothing.

But you guys know something?

There are fewer submissions,Rakdos and both Kaitech didnt made it and many more.Equal PM-ed them,but they vanished.

 

[Pyritie]

cool_is_i

• (-102) - devour energy - Interesting spell. Mana used is too little, though, especially when it gives a unit a 15-second stun. Also your "use energy" thingy is sorta bugged. When you're on 2 energy you can use it, but when you're on 3 you can't, but on 4 you can again. Oh, another big bug. If you save the energy to 6, then use it, the elemental lasts like 2 seconds, but when you get 1 more energy you get a bunch of warning messages, and then you have two "use energy" spells.
• (-150) - storm blade - It would be a lot better if it didn't require an inventory slot.
• (-219) - death blade - the blade doesn't do damage
• (-308) - elemental blades - Not a bad idea, but forcing the player to choose a blade and not letting him/her select anything else in the process is really annoying. If the blade choice was random it would have worked better.
• (-59) - presentation - good that you actually made a town and terrain, although the tooltips need a bit of general polish. Also good that you revived the hero if it died and had ways to restore the health and mana of the hero. Oh, and you forgot to add locust to the energy ball.
• (-539) - triggers - Oh lawd, these are messy. You haven't cleaned up ANY leaks, and none of your spells are MUI.
• verdict - Decent ideas for spells, but your triggers are seriously lacking.

FINAL SCORE: -1377

 

[NoNZealot]

Why do you tend to give people negative points? =O

 

[Pyritie]

Because that's how the system goes :0

 

[NightSong]

BLEH just realized you can't vote for yourself.. so.. too late. Ummmm.. if any mods could change that or something that would be awesome hahaha.. I really don't want to get DQed.

 

[Pyritie]

You still should've voted for yourself even if it wasn't not allowed.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Hey Ghan, can you add them all to a zip archive? (Or anything similar, .7z or .rar or whatever you want)

It is kind of troublesome to download each one. I think this might increase the votes because many people won't download.

I'll give some feedback and coding corrections later.

 

[Ghan_04]

> Ummmm.. if any mods could change that or something that would be awesome hahaha.. I really don't want to get DQed.

Well, I think some admin might be able to do that by editing the poll.
However, it's not that essential. When counting the votes, it will be easy to manually subtract your vote from your own entry.

> Hey Ghan, can you add them all to a zip archive?

Done.

 

[xXMephistoXx]

And Ghan, can you add the links to the Hero-posts, since some of us really put a lot of work into designing them.

 

[GhostWolf]

Ugh, please combine them or something. Don't want to open like 17 maps now... (This way you do all the work )
