Mm, actually. I'm sort of glad they haven't made him more useful to low mmr players.

>>167050265
Protoss babe when?
>>167050947
He exists purely so pussy ass faggots that 4 and 5 stack in QM can cradle their buttbuddies' little balls for them, effectively making the fight against a full stack harder than it should be.
>>167053709

>>167053165
It's very surprising to see how little r/34 there are of Protoss. Considering how well-known and old the franchise is.

As I was reading that, I was matched against a 4 stack with one lonely extra guy and we stomped them.

Wow, for once Blizzard releases a stealth hero that isn't overpowered for months before they nerf it. I managed a few times to solo her as Sylvanas and still live.
They must actually be learning.
my name scoobi
>>167057485
She's shit mate. A stealthy that can't burst belongs in the trash. CC doesn't help at all, a 1.5s targeted stun and a 2s silence don't mean shit if she can't kill anything but a low health murky. And if you aren't stealthed, you still can't contribute to fights at all because that pseudo-Illidan shit is just baaaad.
Buffs fucking WHEN?
I think 40% more AA damage might help.
Hey /hotsg/ I stopped playing when Gul'Dan came out and I just reinstalled the game to test out Tassadar's new changes.
Now is it just me or is he still a useless piece of shit? His Force Wall was really fun to play with but other than that he deals zero damage and provides zero cc (some of which you have to talent to) other than Force Wall, he's easily outclassed by Auriel and Morales.
Or maybe i'm just talking out of my ass and I need to git gud?

Is there a hero/champ like this in Doto/League? He is obnoxious, but just never really seems to win. Unlike Tracer, Samuro, even Nova.
>>167058973
Tassadar needs some number adjustments.
He's definitely no solo support.
But all in all with D talents, he's a lot more fun to play for me.
Especially in this stealth shitter QM meta.
You have 30 seconds to explain why Murky is bad.
protip: you can't
>>167062857
He's good, but he's unable to survive with the current meta's damage.
there's no one in the /vg/ channel on eu.
Is it the same 25 shitposters circlejerking and making these 800 reply threads?
ded gaem?
>>167061196
Wanted to play QM with Alarak for fun, ran into a 5 stack.
Valeera
Zeratul
Medivh
Malfurion
Diablo
Fuck them, seriously. Shittiest game I ever played in QM. They weren't even good, the valeera and zeratul were fucking pathetic, but that ass faggot Medivh kept covering them by spamming protection after they blew their load too early.
>>167063075
This game isn't very popular among europeans. The EU /vg/ is mostly ~10 people who sometimes play quickmemes and unranked together.
>>167063165
Yep. He exist purely to completely ruin QM, so pussy ass bitches can run him in 4-5 stacks.
>People now crying unironically about Medivh
I'm on the fence between surprised and not surprised.
>QM
>enemy team is Valeera, Samuro, Dehaka, Li Ming and Valla
>playing as Li Ming
>mfw
Current QM meta is stealth no? Fucking easy to shit on people that way i guess.
>>167064131
Medivh has always been a piece of shit for one reason or another, and he's been out for a while, so it makes sense he isn't even talked about much in the slightest.
Don't be surprised, because shit is logical.
>>167064719
Quick Match was always full of stealth, though. Teammates can't ban your Nova/Zera away from you there. :3
>>167064131

>>167064789
It's a lot more rampant now, the stealth shitters rejoice in having another stealthy to go fuck shit up with.
It very often happens that any team has two of Zera/Nova/Valeera/Samuro in any combination.
Fucking nice to play Tass right now, even if his numbers are subpar.
>>167058878
>can't burst
what fucking game are you playing m8?
Holy shit etc is a fucking joke. Before hitting anyone he should scream "tickle fight!" because that is all the damage he manages to do
>>167065689
Face it, she's shit. She needs a lot more damage to function properly. I paid 20 bucks for this shit and I get this? Fuck off, kid.
>>167066403
Shitter detected, stop playing le meme ambush build if u want to shit out actual damage.
>>167066771
>implying I don't know how to play her
Go apply yourself, I know the hero in and out.
She's shit and needs buffs badly.
Holy shit Auriel is fun as fuck to play.
I regret not getting her during the genji event fuck.
>>167067267
Auriel is brutal if you have ONE not retarded team member and has decent damage to boot.
Shame about those ults. Wish you could pick Fly at level 10 instead.

Yeah, yeah. But does she havelewdsthough?

How come so many people buy every gold-purchasable mount when they don't use them after a week or two of initially buying them? I know quite a few people that have all said mounts and don't use them most of the time--especially if there's a newer mount.

>>167064131
you know a character is bad when people that don't play them ask for help.
but dude gm medivh and did you see those "pros" take chogall though xD
>>167070012
don't think many care all that much about more than a handful of characters. so any of those who bought a bunch with real money early on will end up with a bit of spare gold. it's just collecting or the mounts having limited fit.

Fucking hell QM is a mess.
It's always a Samuro, Valeera and/or Nova/Zeratul.
>>167072692
Sounds like silver and I'm not even memeing.
>>167072692
QM is the place people go to play the guy they like, and usually its the heroes that aren't viable in ranked. Happens to be stealth heroes and shit heroes like Murky.

>Auriel is pronounced Ah-riel instead of Oh-riel
Why is this allowed.
stukov, karax, cain, imperius, malthael, varimathras and garithos
garithos abilities
chain. deals low dmg, slows the enemy. can yank the chain to pull target, but at cost of adding more cooldown time.
revenge from wow.
imprison target enemy. like ice block.
empower target ally for a duration. they must deal a certain amount of dmg before the effect expires or they receive dmg.
z is activatable like sgt hammer. passive has more speed because fights on horse
heroics
cavalry charge. better march of murlocs. increases ur movespeed, allowing to pass through enemy and deal damage. lvl 20 upgrade mounts all nearby allies and allows mounted combat for the duration
second heroic gives him passive damage and turns him into an auradin with 3 more abilities added to the 1 2 3 key slots

Is it because he's a big orc in massive armor with a huge hammer, that's supposed to be a farseer/shaman, prancing around like a ninja, scoring kills?

Yeah, that might be why. Also how he swings his hammer like he's some sort of fucking Conan character with a huge sword.

Ever?
When you want to practice a hero in Quick Match and this happens
>>167050265
>>167099786
There are rare situations in which monstrosity is ok, but if you're asking for advice on this Bhutanese fingerpuppet forum, you probably won't be able to recognize them.
>>167099631
so is every other character. fuck off.
>>167099790
What's the problem?
>>167099618
they really fucked him up.
he should have been a specialist.
>chain lightning to clear minion waves

He was practically screaming specialist. Blizzard are so fucking stupid some times, it's unbelievable.

Damn, that's old.
>>167099969
Well yes but Medivh even more so, he is designed that way.
Still waiting for the day that HotS gets too meta and starts making skins for characters of heroes that are already in the game.
>>167099974
Tassadar just ruins quickmatch because he isn't a true support character. We had Tass+tracer but Rehgar is a great solo support and we could not keep up in team fights
Enemy team was great at clearing camps on blackhearts and was able to zone us too. Their Illidan was able to engage us really easily.
I'm testing Artanis out for the first time, what the best talents for him?
>>167100408
sure it's just the small sample size that has him so bad in masters.
>>167100202
I shouldn't have bought him honestly. I mean, I can probably get good with him quickly but he feels so odd to play compared to other heroes.

Alarak doesn't bring anything good to the table. Squishy, no defensive ability, shitty auto attack that doesn't synergize with anything.

The same could not be said for Zeratul or Li-Ming. I maintain that anything with a Blink is some pussy shit that will always be much easier to play. Zeratul especially considering how much more slipper his talents can make him.

Blizz made a huge deal over the Diablo anniversary and we didn't get any Diablo heroes.
The only hints we even have right now towards Stukov is that the next hero isn't Warcraft, which kinda gives it a 50/50 between whether we get a Diablo or SC because Blizz seems to be slow in implementing OW characters, and the infested egg in that one pic which, as most people have pointed out, isn't even the right kind of infested egg that Stukov uses in SC.

>druid looks like a typical fantasy druid
What's the problem?
>>167114671
Would that even be a buff? One of the things that makes him strong right now is that he clears a lane incredibly fast and his skeletons push the lane allowing him to leave.
>>167114371
Give him more damage. They Samuro'd the fuck out of Xul by cutting off his legs and forcing him into one play style.
>>167115019Like clockwork B)
>>167113006
Isn't it supposed to represent his connection to Malorne or something? I only causally follow the lore of WoW after it became an MMO.
>>167114671
This.
He's one of the main minionmancer's of HotS and necromancers are known to have swarms of dangerous undead, but Xul's little skelebros only pathetically push lanes and never help in any combat. Fucking breaks the fantasy of playing a necromancer.
This game needs more summoner-type heroes where the summons actually help you fight in combat as opposed to just lane swarming. The only ones I can think of are Az(but only his ult minions really help you in combat at all) and Zagara.

All rather difficult Heroes with low win rates until Masters. Samuro, on the other hand, has a high win rate at every MMR, even if he stops seeing play after, like, high Diamond, or something.

>also stealth rework when
Mages were a mistake
>>167128397
I don't know if Sam was really intended to be that difficult. He has no mana, he can basically smash all his buttons and I don't remember any of his advertising suggesting that he was the hero for skilled players.
Other than the micro on Illusion Master, he's mainly for a bit of fun bronzie mind games.
Meeediiivh!
I'm currently kinda new into HotS still, and never touched competitive because I'm level 30 at the moment. Should I follow the tiers from Grubby's website or check out hotslogs' winrates?I play in BR server, unfortunately also.
>>167128756
Ehh, I'd suggest just picking up the relatively simple Heroes, regardless of their current position in the meta.
>Malfurion
>Thrall
>Li Li
>Raynor
>Johanna
Play them until you've solidified the fundamentals before moving on to follow tier lists, or play finicky Heroes such as, say, Alarak.
>>167128569
Mm, that's just it. He can get away with just hitting all his buttons, unlike the other Heroes I listed.
>>167128976
Sure, but Alarak has proper sustain, utlity and burst. Ming is ranged and gets shit done. Valeera is melee nova, so she explodes people or sucks. Also, her steath is good unlike Sam's which is mostly a run away button.
I don't know. Sam just seems like Illidan, but if he's actually seeing play in Masters, maybe I'm wrong.

It's a good deal to get started. Unfortunately some of the heroes in that bundle aren't very good, but you can learn the game with them.

>>167129854
seeing as a 30 day stim pack is $10 anyway I don't see a problem with this. I bought the same bundle but had more of the heroes and it was essentially a 30 day stim pack for $3~

>>167130413
Both of those are correct.
According to Grubby's (SOLO QUEUE HL) tier list those are heroes that are very niche.

>>167130413
List applies to high level SOLO play, not platinum HL :)
Also, T4 heroes are VIABLE but not OPTIMAL which is very true. All of those heroes are playable, but good luck finding times for them to be considered a better pick than something else, which is kind of the point of his distinction of "not optimal" instead of "shit kys tier".
>>167130413
Cho'gall is literally the least picked, worst winrate hero in the game. He's good in QM where the enemy team can't counter him six ways to Sunday which is doable by like half the cast of this game.

Yeah, in most of my games, I try to focus a lot on stacking up as Butcher, and I often get 125 stacks in less than 10 or 15 minutes which is fairly good actually. I end up winning most of these games that way.
Zagara is really fucking fun, but she gets shit on by every assassin diver like Illidan, Valeera, etc. Sad, but her weakness can kinda turn me off sometimes.
Of course, I'm still learning and I'm playing plenty of Thrall, Sylvanas and Dehaka. I'm having a blast with them, but I also want to play some heroes that I really love.
>>167131037
Yeah, of course. It's just up to the other solo queue player in your draft to agree to it, which they shouldn't.
He was in rough enough shape with Tychus becoming meta and Leoric getting buffs but lack of ability to duo-queue ranked was just the nail in the coffin. Perhaps if and when we get an optional voice chat.

Honestly, the best feeling in the world is having everything all set up before a team fight starts. That's what I feel Gaz is all about.

This isn't true. Reworked Tassadar has a 0% pick/ban rate in tourney.
>>167131138
Mhm. I've really enjoyed my time playing The Butcher, provided the team is able to survive the early and sometimes early-mid game. Issue is that he's pretty easy to deal with in draft, although he'll absolutely shred through teams who aren't prepared.
I've found the best way to play him to playing safe for meat/ult, then invading enemy mercenary camps, jungling and ganking. Like, go and 1-shot the specialist pushing an off lane because your 1v1 and even 1v2 dueling potential is insane, especially late game.
>Zagara
Good ol' comfy lane bug. She has seen better days, I'll tell you that.
>Q and E for vision
>W on enemy players, mind the mana cost, though
>auto the shit out of them if they stop to hit your W

I'd honestly just recommend another ranged right-clicker, though. Raynor, Valla or Tychus, even. Current incarnation of Ziggy makes me sad.
>>167131246
>Reddit thinks Gaz is boring
Oof. That's rough.
>>167131618
I don't get why people rag on new Zag so much. I get that most of them probably are comparing her to old Zag, but there are a lot of worse specialists and pushers out there.
The only thing I ever found lacking was mana. Everything else seemed as usual.
>>167131702
She's just a sitting duck in the world of 6 stealth heroes and heavy rotation meta. She's a free kill most of the time, and pushing power falls off late game.
>>167131527
>player picks zul'jin
>>167131702
Oof.
I just can't really think of a reason to be picking her these days is the thing.
Oh, and when is that next hero preview/teaser? I forgot how they generally do it.
>>167132052
>Desert Queen Zagara was the first skin I bought
Still my favorite skin in the game. What specialists are good right now? I used to only play Zag before her rework and had quite a good win rate with her.
>>167132462
>good specialists
As versus-all Heroes? Like, none of them.
>Zagara
>Hammer
>Sylvanas
>Nazeebo
>Rexxar, if you can play him
That's all I can really think of. Xul as a counterpick to Illidan, The Butcher and Artanis. Also excellent waveclear. Somebody might be slipping my mind here.
>desert zig-zag
No voice or facial animation, otherwise it'd easily be my favorite skin.
There is nothing more fun in this game than getting put against a QM stack of 3+ stealth and taking Headhunter as Zul'jin
>game isn't even 1 minute in and you already know you're going to lose
>3 people have died already on seperate occasions

guess it's all my fault! I need to get better so I can carry!
I really hope the next hero is from Starcraft, Diablo, or Overwatch. Literally anything but another WoW hero would be acceptable.
Thoughts?

1:Nature's Perspective is the best talent on tier 1 by a huge margin
13: Unfair Advantage is better than Giant Killer against most comps outside of like 3 warrior

>>167136156
Well for starter Greater Spell Shield basically makes you invincible against many heroes
Star Wood Spear is great when you really need to outrange you victims usually only good in QM games with no warriors or supports
Let Them Wither is a must if your team has heroes like Kerrigan
Nature's Culling is amazing for killing immortals and buildings especially when combined with either of your heroic abilities
Abolish Magic can win you a game against Murky, Xul,
Galloping Gait is always a good talent in every situation it gets you to objectives faster, it allows you to chase a low HP foe, and flee from a losing fight
tl;dr after level 7 all her talents are good

I can't stand the fact that people still fucking play Stitches. I don't care what mode it is, he's fucking useless, just play Artanis. As sad as that sounds.

>>167138474
>>167138574
Reminds me, if you're anyone who is in any sort of position to give feedback to a dev to their face, tell them the next time they make a D2 hero to not make him some fucking OC bullshit. Xul is nothing like D2's Necromancer. We can stretch real fucking thin and say he's just a more advanced Meleemancer, but like I said, that's a bit of a stretch, like, nobody played a Meleemancer back in the day.
Just bugs the shit out of me how little he has in common with the Necro, and they have the balls to say he's straight out of D2.
Also, Classic Xul when?
>>167142802
If you can't get a full set on them while they're stunned you should consider Jimmy or something.
>>167142673
This seems likely. These past 6-8 weeks I've gotten far more 600/800g dailies than others. At least 4 of either a week (sometimes 6 a week) and I've cleared my dailies each time.

I'm out there buddy, you'll find me eventually
I don't know why I can't stop playing this game. Every day I tell myself I'm going to take a break and play something else, but I keep coming back. This is my first moba, and I've only been playing for a few months. I actively try to get better at the game and am constantly watching videos and reading about the game. Some days, it seems like I'm improving a lot. Other days, it feels like it's hopeless and I'm never going to get better. Sometimes the salty retards on my teams are discouraging as well.
>>167167136
I think it's hard ot kick because of it's quick and casual nature, in that you can just get into a game and go, and in 20 minutes you're free to do whatever else you want, it isn't some commitment thing.

It was no good. Ragnaros was ahead on deaths along with Lunara. Raynor straight up just walked into his own ult as if he was leashed to his ship and just marched toward their team like he was an immortal.
It was a mess, and if Tyrande missed a CC, it was just a loss. Terrible team, in my opinion.

No hats. Not everyone gets Pauldrons, but everyone gets big goofy hats. Well like everyone but Gul'dan.

>>167171998

>>167175273
I get your point, but i've found with the regen I don't need to clear the wave for the HP as I have nearly full hp constantly. Mana is undeniably good in general, but I'm not sure i've ever ran out on Leoric.
Also I take heal at 7, as his Q already hits entire wave.

Everytime I see this I laugh.
>>167175273
Depends on your role and what build. A lot of the times Leoric is taken it's because of his % damage on W. Meaning you are going to take the W talents.
>>167175695
quick 3 min AI then it won't be wasted as badly :^)
>>167175759
full W build leaves me mana-less and without 3 sources of healing I normally get and I ***personally*** don't like that
>>167175759
It still does great % damage without the talents.
With the sustain from heals it evens out damage wise. (over the whole match)
>>167142673

When are Zeratul and Abathur going to stop being 10k gold?
I want my meme Starcraft heroes without paying out the ass for them already.
>>167189362
I'd say never, but they reduced Rexxar from 10,000 to 4,000 somewhat recently.
Zeratul seems like he'll be next up, if they go ahead with another price reduction, which they haven't for a while now.
>>167144354
Lvl 1 you want Maximum Charge 90% of the time except on BoE where you need the energy from your mates to race
Lvl 4 is a tie between Personal Shield and Give me Twenty ( If you take cleaning shield you can get your E to 7s cd ), you can sometimes pick the Shield Speed if you 2nd tank doesn't have mobility like Arthas.
7 I always go for the Q talent because with Maximum charge that's like 600dmg per pills in the center
Also at 10 always get expulsion zone, it's just too polyvalent to get anything else.
13/16 you can switch between Unstoppable on W and Armor at high energy and at 16 cleansing or overall cd reduction
20 is usually a nobrainer with rewind
>>167189141

>>167190275
You can beat Leoric. Just push the lane with Rexxar. If he's standing on the point fighting Misha than he is losing XP.
>>167191197
i tried. leoric has pretty okay waveclear senpai
>>167189362
they seem content to leave them at 10k unfortunately. after them it's vikings then kharazim still at 10k.
thought they'd at least drop zeratul around when medivh came out. zera's skill floor is nothing like him. it's not that fucking hard to clear some waves and kill a dumbass once in a while to make a game of it.

He already had his reworkwhen they nerfed everything about him that made him fun to play.Four patches in a row.
He certainly could use a little more buffing. And his master skin needs a complete overhaul. Easily one of the worst in the game. I remember in one of the interviews blizz talked about how the master skins were about turning the art direction of any given character up to 11. Brilliant design there to cover up all of the bones on the Skeleton King.
>>167199298
probably somewhere in their random reddit comments
>>167197530
People who have never been high ranked in a game think "master league" is where all the good players are.
They couldn't be more wrong. The skill ceiling for this game is very, very low. There is no complex strategy or depth to this game. And because of that, people are especially vulnerable to fucking off, jacking off, doing stupid shit, getting tunnel vision, etc. I have seen top 15 GMs miss their spells several times in a row.
>>167200556
Oh, I know. This applies to most games, or at least the ones I've played.
Consistency and the will to keep playing, to queue another game is what it seems to come down to. Just sort of lost interest.
>next in-dev, teaser or hero preview when, I live for these things
>>167200924
>and the will to keep playing
That is a very fleeting feeling for me as well. Even if I win a total stomp, it just kills my desire to play. I don't want to get the "shit team".
WHAT THE FUCK WAS HIS PROBLEM?
>>167197530
>Pick your favorite (preferably easy, bonus points if strong/meta) heroes and stick with 'em whenever you can.Even if he's The Butcher?
>>167202179
Yeah, go for it. I'd suggest keeping in mind that's he is one of those Heroes that will get counterpicked, and you'll either need to learn to play around the counters or just accept you'll be putting your team at a disadvantage.
>immunities
>attack speed slows
>your vulnerable early game
But if you're looking for a Hero to 1-trick The Butcher is up there. Doesn't see a lot of play, so you won't have to fight for him, or pray he makes it through picks/bans, unlike Ragnaros/Thrall.
Also; fun. Have it. Don't burn yourself out. This is important.
>>167202720
Yeah, I miss him since he got disabled from the free week. I have him at level 7 and he was my most played. I had a pretty good win streak with him as well in QM. Fun as hell, too.
>>167202720
How edgy is Alarak?
>>167203542
He isnt edgy, just arrogant, and for a reason. Do not dare think your lord to be flawed in any way, peasant. If you fail, he is blaming you for it.
>>167204238
But he is red and black, he is screaming edgy.

kek, you just suck dude. sorry we had to be the ones to break it to you.
>>167203542
0.3 illidans
>>167204438
Alarak doesnt scream anything other than orders at lesser creatures like you. He didnt choose his attire to be edgy, he chose it to strike fear into the hearts of those who dare to oppose him, as they are swept into the dark void that is his unstoppable form before he blasts them apart.
A lord cannot be associated with mundane concepts you use like "edge." He is above that, and above you.

I loved his lines in HotS so much I went and watched every cutscene of his in SC2, having never played it or anything. The dude is not edgy at all, and I'm honestly surprised to find that he isn't even an antagonist.
What a fucking great character he is. But definitely not "edgy". Lazy ass word.
>>167206882
I used to believe that Battlefield was the only place you should consider Fury, but even now I question whether it's just better to go Arms or Prot. Fury is just such a useless fucking spec for him. How the fuck do we fix Fury?

By removing it from the game entirely.
>>167050265

>>167208892
>Taunt is such short range and short duration that it's pointless
>have a 50% slow and a usually low cooldown charge
>have tons of health and an evasion
Taunt is a point and click pseudo root that silences, with only a slightly higher cooldown than a basic ability. It's amazing for peeling divers off your supports and keeping enemy tanks from peeling your dps off their own supports.
Fury is bad because the sustain it provides does nothing for the majority of team fights.
The best analog I've seen is that it literally makes him into a bad Illidan. If you want to solo camps and dive backline, just pick illidan.
When he was released fury was strong enough to let him solo the entire fucking roster, but after the nerfs it's only good for taking camps, and once again if you want to solo camps then just pick Illidan.
He's a fantastic tank and a great glass canon in certain scenarios, CS absolutely melts people, but his in-between is in a really bad spot right now.
Also, you should stop calling people memers and defaulting to "you're a baddie" argument whenever you lose your cool.
>>167208892
>Taunt is such short range and short duration that it's pointless, almost like a really shitty version of horrify.

alright, so I havent been playing long and havent been to this general before, what do you guys think about buying skins?
>>167210841

Bundles can also be good
>>167210841
Waste of money unless they're on sale AND one of the very few good ones.
>>167210841
I'd spend money on skins like Warmaster Chen and Iron Butcher, but I'd also want to buy them in sales and not for the real money. It's too expensive.

>>167210841
Very possible and likely a new "loot" system is added to the game this year. I'd save money until we learn more about that, because it's likely that at least rare and epic skins could be obtained somehow for free.

If they made Tassadar a Specialist and not a Support people would get why he's good in a hot minute.
More and more over time I'm coming to think that getting rid of roles (warrior, support, assassin, specialist) is a good idea.
>>167213051
I don't see why these chart things aren't in game.
>>167213051
They aren't a bad idea, it's just that they kept fucking churning out heroes that can perform much more than just their given role, so it all just sort of became one big grey blotch.
>Tfw your WoW main has been a Horde Resto Shaman for a long time now
>And Rehgar is always a good pick
Feels fan-fucking-tastic. Now let's get an Elemental Shaman in here, and make sure he actually feels like an Ele Shaman, unlike Thrall's retarded "I feel like a Warrior but with a lightning ability" ass.
>>167213504
Thrall is loosely based on his hero unit from WC3.
He's got the main abilities anyway, the "he's a melee assassin" thing came as a change in design choice in the game in early Blizz-DOTA days back when Thrall was going to be permanently on his wolf like his unit from Warcraft 3. They thought it was weird to have his silhouette much smaller than other heroes, so they made mounts a thing all heroes could use and gave Thrall his legs, and a kit that made him aggressive.Magatha Grimtotem when
