>Spam "skill" shots at chokepoints

deep and emergent gameplay. Chromie and li can go fuck themselves

Ming is shit tier
better go for gul'dan, kelthalas, jaina
They also have linear moves but you don't have go full range to get a kill

>>376993973

thats a big wizard(female)

Li-Ming players should be fucking shot. Stupidly overpowered piece of shit fuck ever since release. fucking 4 second blink, each ability does around 2k damage, they have low cooldowns and on top of that, reset on kills/assists.

I exclusively main Genji every game I play just to fuck up stupid Li-Mings.
Every Ming always uses the beam heroic so I jump in their face and deflect that shit right back and kill them instantly.
At lvl 20 that Li-Ming kills their own team when I deflect everything on their whole team.
I will always bully them, jumping on them and 3 shotting them with shotgun Shurikens.

Fuck Li-Ming.

I can not. But it is much less obvious on most other maps. Now that I dwell on it, I bet that is why they took booty bay out of the rotation as well.

>>376996303
Hanamura would be better if the payloads crossed paths more often and the cores had slightly more life. As it is now, early game teams that don't heavily rely on talents absolutely dominate the game before anyone can even get to level 14. Another issue is that a lot of time you're just sitting next to the payload with no opposition so it feels like an escort mission break from the game.

It does some good things though. I like the mercs having a different kind of impact. I like the general lay out of the map. And I like how often you're forced to get out of lane. I just wish the map was a bit tighter and forced more team fights.

Am I the only one who feels like they added mounts just so they'd have mount skins to sell?

>>376996303
It feels more like a brawl

>>376999048
It's the fact that it's so easy as Chromie and there's nothing they can do about it outside of being clairvoyant. You'll just have some asshole Murky slapping a tower and before he knows it, a metric ton of sand just fell from heaven and erased his entire health bar.

>>376993973
She's a big girl

>>376999097
Yeah, my experiences so far is basically whoever gets slightly ahead first can just faceroll by huddling all together on their payload and bumrushing everything.

There usually isn't two of your own payloads at once either so you never really have to split your groups

>>376999109
It makes the game faster paced without turning everyone into the Flash in team fights. It lets them balance around having larger maps without worrying about hero movement speed.

>>376999048
>>cropped porn poster
Is this a thing now?
Because tons of reaction images are from porn.
They're not even as repetitive or cancerous as frogposting.

>>376999165
then they don't give a fuck a push it anyway, or pick another lane and then push it anyway

The point of murky is to not give a fuck about deaths and distract the enemy team. There's nothing glorious about one-shotting murkys

A key is attack move.
Moves to target location, but stops moving and attacks at max range if an enemy comes in range.

They need to drop the scify look, it's garbage.
Hire someone to compose music for it that doesn't suck like the current tracks and don't reuse stuff from other games, give it it's own identity. Drop the electric guitar bullshit too.
Default announcer voice should be female.

This game's biggest problem is it's name. What storm? Where? Why does it have "heroes"? Who cares?
It would have fared better if it was named Blizzard Dota desu because then at least you'd have the blizzard brand recognition.

>>376999837

Fuck, I don't know if this character is supposed to be god or trash-tier, but this is the pinnacle of fun. The game design of this character is just so, SO GOOD. Now I want play all the time.

>>377002431
I believe at least the first five matches can be done against bots. Turn them to easy, play a character like Guldan, Raynor, or Samuro and just smash your head on a keyboard for 8 minutes at a time.

Someone told me the other matches have to be done against people, but if not then just replay that for the next five matches.

>>377005226
Blinds. All of samuros damage is auto attacks, you hit him with a blind he's fucking useless

Also stealth characters have a slight shimmer you can see, Samuro's doesn't show up for the first second of his stealth but after that you can see him, so any kind of AoE screws his attempts at escape hard.

Johanna and LiLi are probably his hardest counters

I have played him a few times, and nothing ever seems to counter me. Again, we've been playing quick play and probably only have 10-15 hours under our belts, but he's been a constant pubstomper for us.

He's frail as fuck. Just aoe down him and his images and he's fucked. Also stealth is not invulnerability, you can kill people or hit people out of it with aoe skills. And of course there's heroes like Tassador with in-built anti stealth abilities. Take your pick really, stealth heroes are hugely overrated because it's easy to pubstomp with them in QM.

>>376999413

I pick this most of the time, but in the end it depends on your team, the enemy team, and the map.

When the enemy team has a stealth hero, I never leave forts. Heck, that cunt Valeera can even kill you inside your fort thanks to her smoke bomb.

Read forced to /vg/. Threads about a game is allowed on /v/ despite there being a general on /vg/.

>>377005729
this argument might seem smart, but actually doesn't make any sense in the case of varian - when you pick him at the start of a game, you should know whether your team needs a tank or a dps or a retard who does nothing except solo bosses long before you get to level 10.
His best build is full tank + taunt because parry talents are OP, so in almost every case he's picked to be a tank and then goes taunt because otherwise he's not a tank.

>>377005729
Yes, if your team has 4 warriors, I'll concede that Taunt is perhaps not optimal.

>>377005035
Until level 10 you're just a support that mines objectives and helps out your allies hopping around and giving them shields and stuff

once you hit level 10, you pop that monstrosity, farm up the 40 minion kills to increase its stats, and fuck everything up with your new body which can kill other heroes in 3 autoattacks

>>377005729
>different situations

dude this game has a fucking draft, you know who's going to be on your team, you know who's going to be on the enemy team. You pick Varian under the assumption he's going to be a tank, there is 0 reason to make him an assassin because you're already going to have assassins on your team that will do a better job and don't have to dick around until level 10 to start killing things, whereas Varian can always tank because parry is a dumb ability.

Wait were you really doing this whole fucking argument under the presumption of qm

Who fucking cares then, it's qm, anything goes. Nova is like the shittiest hero in the game but she can still dominate qm because it's fucking qm

So we can all agree that there is different tiers of disgusting weebs, but the ones that go out of their way to pick Genji in games like HoTS are just pretty much the highest tier of disgusting cringe.

>>377003892
Nope not all of them. 3-4 are still gone

>>377006087
>one of the most flexible characters in the game thanks to the multiple viable builds and good talents
No, you have to pick W at 1, 4 and 7 or you're just throwing the game. Then, you have to pick Taunt if your team needs a warrior (which of course, applies even more in QM where you can luckily queue into warrior-less teams with varian). Then you have to pick shattering throw/mortal strike if the other team has shield spam/double healer. This hero is not Nazeebo. You can't go spiders or frogs and do well either way.

Of course, in QM you can win with anything. In QM, people will play Nova on Hanamura and not pick Bribe, so you can play far below optimally (even below 'good enough') and still see success.

Genji just does good damage you autisti

>>377007309
Somehow looks better than anything in Overwatch

I can never tell if I'm doing well as the Vikings, I get the highest experience, highest siege most of the time, often second lowest hero damage but pretty sure that's expected. Decent kills, lots of assists, lowest deaths. That all sounds pretty good, but the entire game my instinct is telling me I'm doing shit and when we win it was because I got carried.

>>377007148
On QM you learn how to not rely on healers at all. As weird as it is the most OP thing in this game is teleporting back to the base because you at least half of your HP healed.

>>377007331
Stitches is grotesque, like he should be. He's a putrid walking corpse and he looks the part. I think he's fine. He should be unpleasant to look at, and it grants the appeal of the true walking-corpse experience

Butcher just is a bad model, though.

>>377007119
because it has a decent learning curve and it's a blizzard game?

>>377007429
getting carried is kind of the goal, isnt it? you're there to just to soak exp and poke at ignored objectives so that actually good characters can use the exp advantage to do things.

>>377007429
Vikings is just a bad hero

>>377006793

Do that sometimes, but if I already have someone to play with I might as well just play Abathur anyway.

Last time I went to Dreamhack, we were 5 people playing together all the time. Being Abathur has never been more fun.

>>377007536
It's also terribly balanced, your individual skill is simply not enough to win a game and the "decent learning curve" has a very low cap. If you want to play competitive games there are better options out there.

>>377007429
Vikings are there to be carried, yes, but they are responsible for putting the team in position to carry in the first place. You're basically a support that, rather than heal, feeds their team vital experience so they can hit key talent levels earlier and snowball ahead

Honestly I wish they were more viable at straight fighting so they had another strategy besides soaking everything so the rest of your team can 4-man deathball gank all day, but their presence still is noticeable and able to change the game fundamentally for your and their team.

>>377007689
If you are using fun as an argument then there's no point in arguing that ranked draft is a superior game mode to QM because fun is for the most part subjective.

i actually did this as an abby main and its not even nearly the same thing as playing abby.
as abby you can see ''oh that guys in a 1 v 1'' and make him win, then see a 2 v 1 elsewhere and immediately switch to it and help that guy then hat a minion to soak exp while planting mines for visionand at 10 become one of the scariest things in the game with ultimate evo pretty much forcing the enemy to waste resources on a 0 exp target, run or probably die to its damage

as gall you just sit on him and wait for him to do stuff. you see a guy in trouble at the other side of the map and probably cant even afford to go help him because your team is already down 1 body by having you in the team. you take a lot of hits unless v something like a tychus and the lack of resources and damage is nice but its not really comparable to playing abathur

even if you just played abby as a hat (and fuck you if you do this) it feels worse because you dont have the mass slow in spikes and your spike can't be spammed as much by unhatting then going back on and results in lower damage as a result despite being the stronger on paper move

MVP is based on deaths. Not many Abathur players are out in the middle of team fights.

>>377009271
Because fights are going to happen in designated locations that you can set up ahead of time. He can set up his double pylons, cannon and put down a warp thing while autistically telling them "REEE BACK OFF." He's also really good at pushing on a map that heavily relies on pushing.

>>377007309
I agree with the massive overload on Evangelion type skins. It's actually kind of ridiculous.

Is it me or is probius OP? He's suprisingly hard to kill unless you 2 on 1 dive him and taking out his buildings doesn't feel as punishing as it should be. It feels like you're stuck trying to kill him and he'll just zoom away, and if you go for his buildings he'll replace them as fast as you take em out while he nukes the shit out of you.

>>377013159
Most Probe players hide behind their buildings. Greymane will shit on them by chucking booze. Also, Zarya can easily come in and tank his cannon, build her meter and kill the cannon without her HP even flinching, even if Proby hits her with a W+Q combo in there.

Thing with Proby is he has no tankiness. He has roughly double Murky's HP and his one form of escape will go away if takes any form of damage while he zooms. DoTs and delayed effects fuck him up -- thinking Living Bomb and Zeratul grenade.

If you catch him as he's going from Point A to Point B he's fucked. He relies on being trenched in.

aralack feels like he's kind of ass when everyone goes double tank/healer. like he spends all his stuff, they just walk or heal it off and that's it that's his entire contribution to the fight he doesn't AA them worth a damn or tank or even annoy them he just applies largely negligible damage and sucks

>>377015245
>he hasn't been 711% mad yet

>>377015190
Wasn't it Blizzard that wanted to try and fight for the Dota name, arguing that they owned it because it was made with their map editor?

>>377015245
He has a large talent rework on the PTR.
It's completely fucking busted and if they ship it with no changes he's shooting to tier 0.

>>377007309
>>377012957
I disagree, there's only like 6 or so out of the many heroes available, and only artanis has all 3 color variations for all 3 EVAs

And they look cool af

>>377014625
He sure causes discord among the enemy

>>377015245
Couple him with any other CC and I feel like he's pretty good. The enemy healer can't do shit if they're stunned, then silenced.

>>376993973
Because I'm fairly new to the game and they keep putting me against lvl 77s and shit.
Not even remotely fun to play against.

Alarak is Bully incarnate.

I know this is bait but I swear the particle effects in this game are so fucking obnoxious I don't even notice her orb half the time.

>>377013159
The key to stopping Proby is to render him and his turrets useless by targeting his pylons. He can't do shit if you keep him and his turrets powered down.

>>377016074
Just play them anyway, based on their skillset?

Because he's one of the worst heroes on the game with shitty damage, shitty hp, shitty range and shitty ults.

Normally when I look at the enemy team on the loading screen I try to think about what they can do, with Alarak it's just "oh it's just the albino crab".


Also does anyone knows how much of an annoying fuck will D.VA be?

I'm that way for Warcraft, which is like 60% of the game

>>377016103
>>377016173
I still haven't played him, doesn't the pylon skill has a very low cd?

>>377016160
All of the Overwatch heroes are incredibly poorly translated to this format. They're ALL too good, and Genji is utter cancer in both of his games.

>Too stupid to see the shimmer or AoE

i played like 9 ranked games today.
lost 7 of them becuase rank is literally luck in MOBAs, it literally doesn't even matter what you pick or do, its just luck.

this game is fucking aids.

Zarya is kinda meh if you have retarded teammates which forces you to go for the bomber build.

I really hope D.va is annoying as fuck, at least as annoying as Lucio or even worse.

That's how I feel about Diablo characters, but I'm all about that Johanna.

>>377015443
what kind of terrible people are you playing against where its that simple to shut down a healer without being shutdown yourself, especially if you have someone as otherwise useless as alarak on your team

I'm a little the opposite, i played so much WoW that the thought of playing as any of the characters makes me ill. Like eating too much candy.

if your playing v bad people sure. your not trying to chain stun a silence on ''someone''. your doing it on the healer. if theyre any good they will kill you for even attempting that on aralak
