Build around Shadow Charge. You become the most annoying roadblock for anyone.

>Bulwark, From the Shadows, Diabolic Movement, Apocalypse, Fire Devil, Domination, Hellgate
>Constant charging and stunning while being damn near damn near unkillable due to high defense, health, and armor

Just be annoying as fuck and Overpower enemies towards your team, or towards a wall and immediately follow up with a Shadow Charge. Diablo is insanely fun, and is just as easy as he is fun.

Relatively new, started playing at the first Nexus challenge, playing on and off.

Why are people so passive aggressive and easily irritated in this game? And this is in quick match. It's like someone messes up once and they have to point it out as soon as possible in chat.

This is no fucking joke, this is the worst experience I've ever had in this game. I think I'll just fucking deal with the loss next time, holy fuck.

Not what you do.
You only reroll if you get the absolute lowest you can out of a box.

Why/how did overwatch become so stale and boring from how fun it was on launch and heroes of the storm became so fun and varied from how stagnant and shit it was around when KT/Li Ming launched

frustrated neets and/or permavirgins who equate their self worth with how they perform in the most casual moba ever made. they think that they're high ranked mlg pros but actually aren't that great and project their own shortcomings onto others.

>>175051002
Heroes started off as just a MOBA that was for beginners, then became a fun game with all sorts of free stuff and better F2P mechanics. Overwatch started as a generic team-based shooter with some unique characters, and never improved on it while trying to shove in more and more stupid characters.

Is it just me or was the new cinematic pretty lame? The diablo looked like some weird plush toy and the plot was nowhere to be found, just some generic fight with no purpose. Also good fucking job bullying poor diablo 2v1, you fucking heroes.

Is there a place I can see what all these dumb fucking portrait border colors mean?

>>175051002
Because somehow Overwatched managed to focus on "grind away for them spray boxes" instead of "just have a buttload of fun in the matches!" and that gets dull after a while. I mean fuck, Too much of overwatch is focused on "How far does that bar get to the next chest" at the end of the match.
Heroes meanwhile tried more to just get you to play the fucking game.

>>175051002
Because OW has highly inflated ttk thanks to shit like shields, encouraging shit like triple tanks which is incredibly boring to both watch and play, while HotS revels in being an insane moshpit of spells and damage with dozens of gimmicks to enjoy?

I think they did justice for Big D.

He had Genji on the run and only saw him as a nuisance, and Dva didn't even do anything other than pelt him with glowing pellets.

Oh fuck off, OW is perfect. Games where you run around the corner and die in three shots are trash, especially if they aren't third person and your view is abysmal. Making a game centered on getting the drop on your opponent is not skill-based, it's luck-based.

DEATHWING NEVER EVER NEVER EVER

Got Samuro out of a chest and I gotta say he's nowhere near as bad as I thought he was. I didn't get to experience playing release Samuro, but honestly he feels ok. Thought he was nerfed super badly.

>>175051134
>and the plot was nowhere to be found, just some generic fight with no purpose.
It's a crossover MOBA, what the fuck do you expect?

Genji has a textbook case of extreme lack of game feel.

He's powerful in the right hands, but I never FEEL like I'm contributing any damage. Despite being top hero damage most games with a lot of kills I feel like I mainly do jack shit. All his damage numbers are low, which makes sense considering he's a fast hit and run character, but that combined with how pathetic and dinky all of his spells sound make you feel powerless while playing him.

You just constantly throw small ass projectiles at people and it sounds like they're basically just bouncing off people's skin instead of dealing damage

If draft dodging was okay, 99% of games would never end/get started because some fag doesn't like the draft and wants to requeue. In fact, that's exactly why dodging is penalised harder than an actual loss.

Even without considering the MMR loss from an "obvious loss", ranked games will suddenly take 20 years because (a) not everybody has the entire hero roster, and (b) they don't realise HotS is one of the most rubber-bandy MOBAs there is and people at all levels lose games for stupid shit all the time so you might as well try.

This goes for all MP games in general (even co-op games). Every game would end with
>"Game cancelled due to leaver, too bad, since you were winning" or
>"Game lost because of leaver disadvantage, too bad, you still had a chance" or
>"Game won because the stars aligned and nobody on the other side thought about leaving, too bad for them that they didn't leave."

Blizzard used to let dodgers and leavers go without even a slap on the wrist until tryhard parties organised to exploit the generous leaver mechanics with smurf partymates and/or bitch out the pubs on their team to "Take one for the team, it's totally your fault we lost. Trust us, we know better." so that they wouldn't lose e-peen points. After a long while, Blizzard stated that they will never let such behaviour dominate pvp again and so here we are now.

Fags who dodge games because of a perceived impending loss to keep their 100% online win record sparkling and pristine are entitled faggots to the ultimate extreme. Justifying it with random excuses about things that only /they/ think matter is as retarded as arguing with an officer that it's unfair to be arrested for driving after having "only one drink" after getting pulled over - as if winning a philosophical debate in their imaginary mental fantasy land matters. They don't understand that they are the source of the problem and the rules are there specifically to deal with their bitch asses and will never stop.

Also you do realize that players having a larger pool of heroes is a good thing for the playerbase as a whole, right? It means less shitters only knowing 5-6 heroes

Can you hold onto chests for a long time and open them later for a chance to get the newer skins or do you have to open them ASAP?

>>175051847
Chest don't generate items until the moment you hit open, so yup you can hold onto them as long as you want. But all holiday skins will be opened in unique holiday only boxes similar to OW so be warned.

>>175051252
What im wondering about is why hamura still all colorful and lively and no signs of corruption at all.

>>175051892
And how much will the holiday box set me back?
In TF2 the holidays box costs about 3 bucks to open.

>Can't find bonehead abathur, stitches with the pool ring, the vampire Kerrigan and Arthas, and several other skins
Why did they remove skins? I just noticed after looking at all the skins while waiting on a long as fuck queue, and noticed I couldn't buy them. I wanted skeleton Abathur, too.

>1800 shards
>can buy prime evil diablo
>or buy like 10 other skins
Why do legendaries cost so many shards anyway? like shouldn't it be 800 shards?

>>175051968
It doesn't cost anything, basically any lootbox you would normally obtain during the event period becomes an event lootbox instead. Those lootboxes contain both the normal items and the event items.

If you are talking about actually purchasing them they will cost the exact same as any normal lootbox.

How the fuck does one build Ragnaros?
I know that he is a very strong characters but I am confused as to which talents to pick.
A lot of them seem so... lackluster.

really?

New player, which megabundle should I get?

>>175052030
THe point is you spend all your shards on crappy skins/emojis/etc. So when they release legendary skins you have nothing and are forced to buy it.
>>175052237
Assassin for maximum value, but pick flex otherwise since you'll have a few characters for every role then.
IF I FUCKING ANSWER THIS QUESTION ONE MORE GOD DAMN TIME

>>175052237
they literally base them on your play style but if you cant decide then get flex

>literally got all 3 legendary variations for ghos tkerrigan from veterans
Guess it's time for me to learn her

Any resident Kerrigan autists interested in giving me tips?

>>175052237
I wouldnt get assassin.
Every fucking one spams assassins, and a lot of them are either trash or OP.
Tank one has the best value in my mind, a good couple of them can be assassin like as well.

Unless you really like being a heal slut.

Flex pack is worth the least out of all of them, but if you really never find yourself sticking to a general role you could go for it anyway.

>>175052203
yes

Guaranteed loss right now in every game where you might have made a difference.

Your burst combo is:
Snipe -> AA -> W -> AA -> Nuke -> AA -> W -> AA -> Snipe -> AA -> Maybe Holo -> AA but shit they probably got away by now.

Make sure you're in a good position and that they have low enough HP to finish off the target on or before the nuke so that they can't get away. Don't be afraid to keep the nuke off cooldown for teamfights and shrine guardians even if you're not personally there unless you are setting up some wombo combo over voice comms.

>>175053720
I hope you are kidding, because level 10 is when you get a hero specific lootcrate so if you have exactly level 10 you just fucked yourself out of an extra crate on them

>>175053791
nice change, hoping for more. i like picking them based on flavor for the few i have. good heroes get muradin, evil ones get illidan. don't have enough from every franchise to do it for each so that's what i've stuck with so far. wonder if they'll expand to other things like DOTA with rick and morty etc.

>>175053968
He's saying the opposite.

If you overleveled your hero, your hero level would be high but no loot crate.

e.g. A lv 10 hero in 1.0 is converted to lv 15 in 2.0. You don't get a hero specific loot crate for that hero.

>>175048901
Hi /hotsg/. It's my first time playing, I downloaded it for the Overwatch promotion going on. I saw that they had some stuff from Diablo in this game and I got super psyched up for it. I really like Cassia because I played so much Amazon in D2 and she's an absolute blast.

I have done particularly well in all the games I've played as her, I always have the most experience contribution by an enormous margin (Usually more than five thousand), and being second or first in hero damage and structure damage. I was wondering if there was some major overarching strategy to the game. I pretty much just safe shove and gank whatever I can and group for any objective as necessary, but is that really all there is to it?

It feels as if zoning enemies out of exp range is a colossal waste of time unless your entire team is doing it too. Most of the time I feel pretty comfortable about my range and damage out put, even when I get jumped by Valeera or something like that. I also find many people just shove brainlessly and don't respect my dueling ability or my ability to come gank them when they shove. There's no vision items in this game, so it feels like ganking is a coin toss even if you're playing against people who are cautious.

>they capped daily xp so you can't grind out loot boxes
What a bunch of faggots.

>>175055862
anytime there's an objective, rush it

if your team is doing okay stay in a lane to soak xp because xp is team wide, not individual

other than that it's pretty subjective

You basically want to win objectives and/or get maximum value whenever you can, especially if you're in advantage.

Make sure your team soaks every little bit of XP whenever you can
Cap merc camps on opposite side of the map before objectives spawn
Be early to objectives
There's a video about the general meta for every map https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hdzdksu20XM but your team mates might not be down with it.

The more you play the more you realize how to get ahead and take advantage of maps.

Stay away from Xul. He is NOT the D2 Necromancer.

>>175055915
That's about what I had been doing. I tend to go for objectives because I feel like I do enough damage to safely kill one member of their team most of the time. I try not to be the first one to the objective though because I'm not tremendously tanky as Cassia.

>>175055942
Okay yeah, that makes sense. Two members are technically free to roam the map because of the global experience. I guess you don't need wards when you think of it like that.

>>175056056
Thank you for the video. I suppose I'm having a hard time grasping the strategy for myself because nearly every game so far has been me taking complete control. It's probably just an influx of Overwatch shitters who also downloaded it for the promotion.

>>175056141
I'm not gonna lie, I was tempted. I'm more of a Belial kind of guy, I was a little disappointed that they didn't have him, but Cassia more than makes up for it.

>>175056186
Tanks tend to be the most versatile based on whether the enemy team has lots of cc/spell dmg/or aa dmg. Almost all assassins have a this build and this build only. Same with supports.

Tracer is an annoying mosquito: low but constant damage and somehow difficult to slap. You have to dodge shit with blink and constant mobility and hope that they don't have strong autoattackers or point and clixk disable because those will wreck you.
Zarya is good as a secobdary warrior. Her shields offer a great deal of protection and she has decent health and damage; unfortunately no peeling so she can't solo tank. She works like a bruiser.
Kerrigan was good but now that everyone is running double warr an ambusher like her doesn't really fit in or against most comp.

This bundle thing is the hardest decision I've ever made in my life

>>175056801

I just went with the bundle that had the most heroes I didn't have and included heroes I wanted to try.

People are stupid and don't have good taste. If we could get a Zul'jin announcer that'd be the best.
>>175056949
Shes okay but overall worse since no cc. Good for QM's though

I haven't won a single game since 2.0 launched.

I hate this fucking matchmaking system, and I don't want a larger community after all. Take it back, Blizzard. Take back the skins and shit I got, I don't want them if this is the price we pay.

>>175056645
If you get minimal rarity (4 commons) it's worth re-rolling once.

Do I spend gems on crates? because it seems like it's either that or buy heroes, which I can just get with gold.

I realize these chink themed skins are just pandering to their Chinese playerbase, and most of them are ok, but this monkey king skin for Samuro makes zero sense.

just got the 1000 gems for hitting level 5, what's the best thing to put that towards?

>>175057178
There's a weekly rotation of skins that you can buy with gems, so if there is a particular legendary skin you want, I'd say save up around 600 gems or so.
Also you can always buy bundles.
Wasting your 1k gems on boxes is propably the worst thing you can do.

>>175057137

>>175055968

>>175057223
Probably saving it for cosmetics or new heroes you really want later on

>>175056998
all multiplayer matchmaking systems are shit

they exist only to artificially enforce a 50/50 w/l ratio - there is not a single game in existence that has a fair and balanced matchmaking algorithm

server browsers are inherently superior in every way but that doesn't allow the company to soapbox about how great their matchmaking is or support esports cancer

Underrated post, keep it up anon!

I got 3 legendary shitty mechanical mounts I'll never use (couldn't reroll anymore either when I got them). I seriously wish it was possible to exchange stuff you don't need for shards.

>get tons of sick loot
>so many skins and mounts
>mostly for characters I don't play and mounts that look silly on my mains

Well ok then. The characters I don't play will look great.

I got Gazlowe as an announcer so I have that going for me.

>>175058035
just keep leveling heroes for more boxes

if it doesn't have anything you want reroll for a chance to get more shards

any heroes you guys would personally recommend?

>>175058071
That's true.

When do featured items change by the way? Every week or something? Since I don't need to unlock heroes I suppose I'll only ever use my gems for featured items.
