![]() I've come to believe that the eyesight stealth test is a crutch†, where bad players have gotten used to the idea that people can't see them and that they can have free rein on maps because, well, that's exactly the case when people can't see them. The most obvious thing about those Novas is how, once the fight starts, they don't attempt to re-activate Cloak, instead just sticking in the fight and acting like a proper backline damage-dealer. It's really given me respect for what the Hero can do. Laning when needed, waiting patiently for me to bait a gank, helping with camps, and rotating between where the team needs vision and where the team needs damage. However, every now and then, someone will draft Nova into an HL game with me and just generally own. Not to mention the 70% of the game spent roaming the land in search of the ever-elusive half-health-squishy. If she actually used her 6.5 range and acknowledged that no one on the enemy team thinks she magically disappeared during the fight, we wouldn't have to play down a member half the time. Walking up to an ongoing teamfight, dropping a Pinning Shot-Snipe combo, then backing away to reset Cloak, walking back up to the fight a few seconds later as if no one can see her ( be vewy vewy quiet), dropping another Snipe before backing up again. My impression of playing alongside stealth players has been that, more often than not, they play badly. (I'll pick on Nova specifically for this, since HotsLogs shows her at a 37% participation in QM right now.) ![]() Thinking forward to how stealth mains will react to becoming easily visible to all players, I realized that this might actually be a good thing for the stealth players themselves and not just for those of us with potato machines and bad eyesight. TL DR: Being easily visible all the time might result in stealth Heroes being played better.
