Heroes of the Storm General - /hotsg/

>>181101662
I don't get this. Statistically a few percent isn't that big a deal as far as winrate goes. It will naturally raise and lower as the meta changes.

Extra range + Eager wolf + Blunderbuss greymane. Shits out 900+ dps with aa's in worgen form. Blunderbuss basically turns your AA into a cocktail.

>>181102148
Abathur

Buffs when?

so when do you actually use drain life as guldan
does it have any use in teamfights whatsoever because it feels like 99% of the time i'm better off hugging my support's ass and spamming fel flame

or is it literally only useful for sucking off creeps when you are away from your support

>>181104910
Use it when a single enemy is trying to kill you and has nothing to interrupt your drain

>>181104878
Nowhere on the radar. He had an 80% winrate at hgc, most of his builds are still pretty damn strong if somewhat niche.

They have to be stupidly careful with him because even small number tweaks can make him ridiculously overpowered in a game warping manner.

>>181105071
They could start by replacing monstrosity with an ultimate that adds a new skill to your hat or something that makes your hat worth more than a clone

>>181105285
Monstrosity fills a niche. It isn't usually the correct choice, but in the situations where it *is* the correct choice it is an amazingly powerful choice. A few hat talents and a bigger map like warhead and monstrosity can absolutely kill a solo target that tries to defend vs it.

>>181105285
instead of having to put the hat on the monstrosity to control it just let aba press R to command it rexxar-style

>>181105415
They shouldn't be defending against it, they should be enjoying the free 4v5 win at the objective before going to kill the monstrosity as a group. It only works in bronze games

Blizzard had to be aware that Mal completely breaks some maps, right? Trying to play against him on the immortals map is so blatantly unfair.

>He is able to outdamages 4-5 heroes on the enemy team himself so much so that one hero forces you to be on defense
>Even if he does lose the immortal, he is able to kill yours before it can do anything

The same shit happens on the punisher map too. God fucking dammit Blizzard, I know the tank meta was strong but why does he deal so much damage to objectives and bosses?

>>181105285
>Hating on Monstrosity
It's amazing when used right. It can push a lane crazy fast.

>>181105523
Would be nice. Could even have a situation where you hat someone while the monstrosity is with the team.

>>181105557
You can leave the monstrosity to its own devices most of the time and hat someone in the team fight.

>>181105609
mal does good damage to the immortal but nowhere near as much as you think
% damage is capped so it does much less than 2.5% of the immortal's hp per second

he does about as much dps to it as valla or artanis

>>181105609
>Some heroes are better in some maps than others
Next you're going to bitch that Abathur generates too much XP on Sky Temple or Cursed Hollow.

>>181105609
>>He is able to outdamages 4-5 heroes on the enemy team himself so much so that one hero
forces you to be on defense

No he doesn't. %damage has a health cap, it will *never* deal more damage than if the target had 3652+4%/lvl hp. So if you're playing a level 1 malthael, and an immortal spawns, and you hit it once, even though it has 17000 hp on its first spawn, you treat it as though it only had 3799 hp. Which makes you do about 95 damage per second. Go fucking test it in a custom game.

>>Even if he does lose the immortal, he is able to kill yours before it can do anything

No he doesnt.

>The same shit happens on the punisher map too.

No it fucking doesnt you stupid bronzie.

>why does he deal so much damage to objectives and bosses?

He doesn't. Greymane, Lunara, Sylvanas and Valla *all do more*.

>>181105795
It's not about being better, it's about being too good at it. Obviously some heroes are going to be better on some maps, but Mal is good enough to be picked on every map (currently, no idea how the nerfs will effect him) but also completely breaks a few of the maps.

It's also bullshit that like 3 of them are on the current rotation.

>implying shed feel you're human cock

>>181105770
Monstrosity is just a "win more" ulti, If your team is already winning 4v5, monstrosity will be pushing a lane to increase power gap between the teams. If you are picking monstrosity you would have been better off picking Azmodan and split pushing all game long

>>181105790
>he does about as much dps to it as valla or artanis

Valla at level 20 with either AA build or Q build does a sustained like 900+ damage to immortals. Q build comes online earlier though and is safer than AA build.

Malthael with the old 5% memento mori only did like 670 dps to immortals, if holding down Q (which provided about 30% of the damage).

>>181106041
i thought monstro was the ult for when you're doing a meme illidan/valla strat and you want to put the adrenaline hat on your hypercarry 100% of the time in teamfights and never take it off to control a clone

>>181106041
Not really. Monstrosity is a "They have drafted a team with very low waveclear and we don't really have many teamfighting options, so lets splitpush them to death" ultimate.

What happened to double healer with Li Li meta?

>>181105609
Educate yourself please. These are numbers before todays 'nerf' to malthael.

http://imgur.com/a/oH5ZD

At 4% scaling, the cap for max health that % damage effects is 8000 at level 20. which means malthael (without memento mori) is getting 200 dps vs immortal.

>>181106168
Sure if you want to meme it up, pick the meme ulti

>>181106217
That only happens in QM and bronze

Okay what is Malth's "counter"?

>stuns

Unless Malth is retarded, he already marked a bunch of people with his ult. No stun lasts 4-6 seconds. You stun Malth, he still gets the full value of marks, then he teleports and heals immediately after regaining control, losing nothing but his auto attack damage.

Is that really a counter?

Seems like the only really counter is, a fuck load of aoe healing.

>silenced again
you know what ?
I'm done communicating.
Calling out a guy for being off position, telling a guy not to pick nova, etc... netted me my second silence in a month, this last match for which I was reported I didn't say anything, a guy kept calling me autist because I didn't dive with him 2v5, on the score screen I told him well done for feeding and I'm silenced.
this is fucking annoying, the community of this game is fucking retarded, yes, report people for carrying you, retards.

>>181106656
Personally seen it happen in diamond. But okay.

>>181106713
>Okay what is Malth's "counter"?

He's very similar to lunara: He does a lot of spread damage. So aoe healing. He's also weak to silences and roots. So shit like valeera (who is an excellent anti-diver) or malfurion (twilight dream silence). Kharazim absolutely fucking ruins him with SSS when malthael dives solo and he has aoe healing; if malthael goes rites divine palm fixes that. Lucio is also strong vs him.

Literally draft double support against him.

>>181106278
Lili got nerfed
Malfurion got nerfed

Malthael craps all over double healer current.

Uther just got nerfed today so its still unsure where he stands

>>181106505

>>181107038
And yet the thing doesn't die in 22 seconds flat. So something else must be going on.

I'm convinced people in this game have fucking forgot how to count.

>>181107163
>halves a weak-but-fast heal
>thinks it's effective
malthael is truly... the smart man's hero.......

>>181107563
Yeah man, imagine if it only reduced a weak but fast heal by 33%, that wouldn't make one of the highest pickrate heroes drop like a rock

>>181106505
>which means malthael (without memento mori) is getting 200 dps vs immortal
The chart says its more than twice that.

Daily reminder:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrgWQp6TjDY

>>181107737
From his trait. Which does 2.5% max health damage. With the new upgrade the trait would account for 320 dps vs immortal (the old one would have been 400 dps + Q + AA's).

>>181107874
The chart also says sylvanas has among the highest sustained damage yet she is incredibly slow at getting merc camps. Pretty sure it's bullshit.

>>181107737
the chart damage includes memento mori as well as the damage from holding down Q, presumably

>>181108171
Barbed arrows and resetting arrow count are quite good against single target things like immortals. She can even add quite a bit of damage on things like bosses - as long as someone else tanks for her.

That doesn't mean she's good at taking mercs - Sylvanas *really* doesn't like to get hit back. I cant remember the stats for siege but giants have something like 4000 hp each and sylv has issues keeping them stunned via trait.

Against bruiser camps the heroes who really excel are the ones who have good area of effect damage like sonya, or even jaina.

But y'know, there's all sorts of places where you can go to actually look at the numbers and find out that yes in fact she does perform rather well on single target neutral critters when she's never at risk of getting hit back.

>>181106713
he has huge sustain healing but low ability to disengage so the counter is focus firing and bursting him down as fast as possible when he jumps in with his ult
hopefully you have some mages because he gets physical armor out the ass just for existing

>>181108171
>>181108541
Barbed arrows with double E filling up your Q charges melts niggas pretty quick

>>181109294

>>181108823
multishot, but if you can get away with full AA it's more powerful but easily punished

>>181109383
He's Just Kerrigan, but better, oh but slows instead of stuns.

I really don't think Blizz realizes how insane his talent synergy is, and how he has a "Oh they built a counter team?, make that not work" - talent

His base kit, handle-able, late game Malth? Holy fucking lord.

>>181109471
>multishot
only with auriel otherwise its easily the worst build

>>181109623
what are his counter talents? Going full Q instead of memento? I'm not even sure what that counters since you lose so much damage without it

>>181102743
Nazeepo with garg or azmodan with that ult that isnt black pool and lazer build?
Idk tho

anyone have the locust webm where they kill tyrande or someone

>>181102743
Medivh with that talent that makes Qs one-shot minions. Is it a lv 16 talent or lv 20? Somewhere along those lines.

But if we're including tower damage, I'd probably say Napalm Hammer. Napalm melts buildings and minions so quickly, if you leave her alone for ~20 seconds she can probably take a whole fort solo. 30-40 seconds and maybe the keep too.

After that, probably Azmodan.

Most mages are good at wiping waves but their cooldowns are high enough such that they probably can't walk down the lane to clear multiple waves so they're not that effective, same for dumping spell damage on buildings.

Guys like Artanis, Thrall, and Falstad are probably good better-than-average contenders for solo wave clear and building smashing.

sometimes

I can stay near the back and lazor people to death. Or I can go for the dreaded azmo flank and laser down their healer in seconds, especially at 13 when extra damage comes online

exp gap isn't much of a problem. My team is even ahead more often than not. Laser build 1v1s pretty much anyone who doesn't have a stun, so I can usually bully a lane and take down towers and forts before they start paying attention to me. traiting another lane will get a good chunk of extra exp as well, especially once demonic smite comes online at level 16

The biggest mistake I see enemy teams making is leaving me alone. Seriously, if you're against an Azmo, just rotate up and gank him every 30 seconds or so. He has a good health pool but no mobility. Even less if he starts lasering.

Lasering before getting the move speed upgrade can be super deadly though, so if you see a pre-7 or a non-laser azmo start lasering, just kill him.

Also Uther is annoying to go up against, he stuns too often. Same with Anub. Luckily, my team usually gets one of the two (now that I'm higher ranked, anyway. Lower ranks might as well be quick match in terms of team comp)

isn't Athena the announcer on Hanamura?

Still, I would like map announcers to be available to use on all the maps

By the way can someone give me at least one single reason not to pick empathic link on auriel?

I mean ok, the reduction to 2 seconds sounds nice and shit... but what if your braindead damagedealers suddenly go brainafk for few seconds and you run with 0 energy like a retard? This shit works only if you are ahead. With link you can at least put the crown on the one who takes damage (which is much easier to achieve in teamfights) and run whole time with full energy, that level 16 talent synergies so well, you heal for 2k+ after some time afterwards.

And even less I understand people who take that talent which gives Auriel more energy through autoattacks... WHY?

Also getting energy through your spells is even less reliable than through your dd because if you get in the range to hit your spells prepare yourself to get cucked by enemy team so hard.

And I am saying that as Diamond player with fuckton games on auriel

>>181129574
Pathetic link is shit because it is reactive and you only get good value from bad crown targets.

Energized Cord gives you like 1/8th of your energy per AA which helps a lot more during teamfights, and also allows you to relatively quickly restock on energy without your battery going ham.

>While (((pathetic))) link gives you full energy in 1 millisecond when you give it to your tank or whoever is taking damage at the moment

>>181130306
I specifically only pick Empathetic Link for when I've got bad crown targets for that reason, since I find energized cord a little too slow by itself generally. Too many times have I been left high and dry by my damage teammates doing literally nothing, and slapping the crown on the whoever is getting beat on lets me heal a lot more effectively during a fight. Energized cord is definitely much better for keeping energy steady when you have a reliable battery, though.

>>181126750
I would mind seeing Kel'Thuzad as a support. Undead in wc3 were wierd in that their two "big" heroes, were part damage dealer (nuking primarily) and part support, in addition to their other roles.

Like the death knight was an inverse paladin who still helped out his own shit and had that fucking amazing aura.

The Lich smashed shit into the ground but also had the ridiculously powerful frost armor, and his frost nova had ungodly amounts of slow. He attacked at a good pace and orb of corruption made him good at debuffing things for later smashing. They'd need to tweak some of his kit because killing friendly minions is a no go, and Death and Decay is more of warlock/deathknight thing now in WoW and given how rain of destruction is horrible I cant imagine death and decay being any good.

Did you not fucking read what I said?

"Before a fight" you dipshit. And if you put your crown on the fucking tank, you are a dipshit too.

>>181129574
>And even less I understand people who take that talent which gives Auriel more energy through autoattacks... WHY?

In order to get the same energy from empathic link that you do from AAing *once* with energized cord as soon as you get it at level 7, an ally needs to take 320 damage. Your allies shouldn't be taking damage for free.

At level 16, energized cord gives 140 energy per second attacking heroes (110 damage per hit, 1.25 attack speed), You have 910+ hope at level 16 (without the quest talent). This essentially means that you are getting 1/9th of your energy pool per attack, or about 1/7th of your energy per second spent attacking heroes.

It also increases your energy gain from autoattacking non heroes from five percent to FIFTY PERCENT. Which is a rather fucking large amount, especially if you're on a map like mines, battlefield, shrines or braxis, where there's going to be shit that you will want to hit in order to keep your healing going.

TL,DR; Energized cord represents a signficant fucking increase to auriels healing throughput that doesn't require a teammate to make mistakes in order for you to heal them.

You take empathic link if you're dual supporting. You take energized cord if you're solo supporting (or playing with a tyrande or tassadar, because you need to put out the extra heals).

>>181132296
Energized cord is a 150% increase in energy gain from attacking heroes (40->100%), and a 900% increase in energy gain from attacking non-heroes (5->50). Doesn't affect abilities, but is overall completely bonkers.

I been seeing more people pick Auriel due to the nerfs on Malf. Given the amount of heals she can put out just from people taking damage and doing damage is insane. Trying to focus anyone just makes it even more easier to heal and she can easily keep herself up if targeted. I actually end up on top of the meters for damage and healing because how easy it is.

>>181133654
Lucio has been my go-to. He can provide some peel, he can put out a ton of healing, he can give some fucking mega shields and help people run the fuck away (or at things, some things are very scary when lucio helps them run at you).

He's also *okay* against some of the area damage dealers that have been popular lately (malthael) and can do gnarly things to some divers.

When I cant get him its often kharazim because fuck getting stunned.

drain life is longer range than fel flame sometimes i use it as a finisher if i have nothing else left.
Life drain is also incredibly useful vs Anubs cocoons.
Other than that you use it to sustain in lane or keep yourself alive vs a hero like tracer who has no interupts. its worse using a last resort in any situation when you are about to die and all your other spells are on cd becuase it will force the enemy team to use resources to finish you off rather than just standing there and dying.

Looks fine to me. Surprised nobody is noticing the infestation they added to his right arm.

Looks fine considering how small the he is in game. Looks better than his SC2 playable model.

:))))

>>181148667
He's a Dreadlord that got cleansed by the light at some point, I think fighting for the Army of Light on Argus or wherever the fuck they are now.
Which kiiiinda seems like it could happen, but also its weird that this would be a massive deal but is only brought up to the paladin order hall.

I hope he's not a support but the last one we've had was Lucio and we're due for one soon.

If he is a support I hope he's at least like Rehgar or Kharazim in being able to fight well.

>>181149193
He shows up in the priest story too because priests are useless and the paladins have to come save them.

>>181149230
I hope hes like Zarga or Abby to spite you

>>181148582
If Draenei can be consider good despite being demons. I see no issue with this.

>>181149323
Yes I hope he's like Zagara or Abby as well

>>181149193
Weren't nethrazim supposedly inherently evil? How do you cleanse that?

>>181149230
His sc2 abilities were an anti-building nuke, a regen aura, and unit spawning. Probably a support/specialist mix.

>>181149323
>>181149372
He's a support for sure, sorry fellas

>>181116606
>Serious question.

What are some general things to keep in mind dealing with Novas on QP? Can't really counterpick not knowing if she'll even show up. And I like to have fun in QP

>>181149523
There is always a little bit of good in everyone just some don't embrace it. I mean if it's possible to corrupt holy beings shouldn't that work in reverse too?

>>181149523
EVERYONE in WoW who were evil, did it only because of outside influence. This allows for retarded stuff like making Illidan a hero in the last expansion

>>181149619
It would be even better if he were multiclass

>>181149523
Retcon. The Eredar were also inherently evil.

>>181149650
We need more fun supports fuck the assassin/specialist shit.

>>181149698
Except for goblins and trolls.

I hope one of his ult is summoning an Apocalisk that he can ride on, like a melee Odin.

>>181149723
Oh yeah I can't wait for more unbalanced games due matchmaking being shit.

>>181149754
*weren't

Fucking Kil'jaiden basically tells Velen he was evil only because he wasn't as strong as Velen to believe that good could actually win

WoW writers are such a fucking bunch of faggots

>>181149827
Yet.

>>181149861
The fuck? Did the Terran domesticate a Ultralisk or did the Zerg research more intelligence evolutions and learned how to use Terran tech?

If this image is entirely accurate and I remember correctly, Fel and Arcane were just byproducts of Light and Darkness clashing at the beginning of time. Demons are made from Fel, and strangely are closer to Light on this table than Arcane is. Since they arent total polar opposites, I guess it'd be possible to suffuse them with Light without outright destroying them.
It would be easier if they didn't retcon all this shit though, Im pretty sure Demons used to just be alien races united under Sargeras, leaving the possibility for a light-aligned Nathrezim that hadn't sided with the Legion, along with other light Demons.

>>181149827
Trolls arent evil. They were the rightful kangz of Azeroth until everyone started using magic.
ELVES ARE KEKS. HUMANS ARE BIGGER KEKS WHO WOULD'VE DIED OUT WITHOUT ELF KEK HELP.

>>181150032
>Alien race

Wait so really the whole story of WoW is Azeroth constantly getting butt fucked by ayy lmaos and their non stop alien invasions?

>>181149698
I love how they said Illidian did nothing wrong and we are to blame for everything. For fuck sake the man opened a portal that leads the legion and Sargeas straight to Azeroth.

>>181150169
>HUMANS ARE BIGGER KEKS WHO WOULD'VE DIED OUT WITHOUT ELF KEK HELP.
It was the other way around anon, the humans saved the elves in the troll wars.

>>181150312
The next expansion is probably going to be water related because it is going to be about naga/nzoth

>>181150215
The whole story of WoW is just detailing how the entire planet has to deal with the shit that Elves brought upon everyone else because they were too busy fucking with magic that wasnt theirs and sucking their beautiful leader's cock. Elves are the reason everything bad that has happened to the world has happened.

Is Stukov going to be a support?

>>181150460
That was kinda retconned, Sargeras already knew about the planet he just used the nelfs to open portals.

>>181150415
I doubt it they fucked Vashj'ir.

>>181150460
Well, technically old gods weren't due to elves, and they DID seal c'thun for a while.
