How do you not have Cho'Gall yet? You can play vs the AI on Beginner. It takes like 20 minutes.

welcome to real women anon

>>123499591
It's because Cho'Gall counts for two people. So you didn't have one character die but two. It's a big weakness of his. If a Cho dies late game it's so easy to just rush core and win.

Not to mention a lot of the times the characters surrounding Cho'Gall are picked just to support Cho'Gall.

>>123500095
Are your standards really this low?

>>123500108

I wonder how Cho'Gal would have worked out if he was Warrior/Support rather than Warrior/Assassin.

Once upon a time, there lived a crusader named Johanna, who was talking a nice leisurely walk through the mid lane of Dragon Shire. Suddenly, out jumped a deadly night elf priestess, a huge red demon, a powerful ice mage and a minotaur with a guitar, who all of which began attacking her! The ambush went on for hours, without relent, until the ambushing party walked away, tired and unsatisfied. Johanna looked around, noticed a small scratch on her shield, scowled and went back home for supper.

you know, you don't even have to look too good to get a girl with a cute face. If you take proper care of yourself and have some self-esteem it'll work out.

>>123501717
beetle build increases your damage quite nicely

>>123501846
If the enemy team doesn't have crazy cc you can chase pretty far.

>>123501846
>can you chase someone to their core
Later in the game yes, but his team would be retarded to not help him and get a free kill on you
Early in the game fort + towers are more than enough to kill you

If you ever get frustrated after a rough losing streak, just go on hotslogs and check out the bottom of the bronze leaderboard.

Game intentionally doesn't reward personal skill so that the old men that are playing like shit can be carried, what are you talking about?

That was the entire point of shared XP and no items bro

>want to win
>get paired up with literal retards
> "only constant"

the only constant is in 95% team participation in take downs, top in exp, top in siege, and second in hero damage every single game

brain dead retards diving in 1v5 as Sonya or Diablo because it works in QM

fucking
just

>>123504332
No, the point of that was so supports don't feel like third-class citizens.

i love HotS

the thing that i hate most is that it doesn't give a shit how good you are. your personal skill matters ZERO in the entire game

it's a game that's decision not by "which team has better players" but by "which team has the least retarded faggot", one person who can't do his job right will cause your team a loss, and there is literally nothing you can do about it

it's a team game where you win or lose based on your weakest member, not by your strongest

Why doesn't this game have good memes? It's all waifushit and lili retards

>>123504661

4chan no longer has creative people/humour, only imitative basically reddit but with the anonposting thing being a free pass to 'contribute nothing without consequence'

>>123504332
Not it was because last hitting is a stupid mechanic and they had items early on called Artifacts. They were retarded as hell and were cut.

>>123504863
both sites are pieces of shits with 90% of people being silent consumers of content

of the remaining, 9% are self entitled pieces of shits who do nothing but complain and bitch and use both Reddit and /hotsg/ as a place to shitpost memes and bitch about how everyone else is crap

the 0.9% offer mediocre/subpar-to-onpar discussion

and 0.1% produce some kind of content, generally things like guides, fan art, fan fic, cosplay, youtube videos, etc. and they become "e-celebrities"

but utilmately, both sites are just echo chambers and shit where debating is looked down upon on reddit by downvoting to oblivion, and on 4chan where people just shout "shill" or "stfu faggot" to stifle any and all forms of discussion that they don't like or want to have

welcome to the internet, you're not going to find many friends here, and fuck you

I loathe Nova because she has to be played in the most chickenshit manner to be good.
Which pisses me off.
Also pisses me off when I'm playing a character with a long cooldown on their AOE and I see her running around stealthed but I can't do anything about it but click as close to her as I can until the CD finishes.

Supports are the most important role in both DotA and LoL, what are you talking about?

>>123506174
Your reward is people not tilting due to frustration

>>123505280
>>123505063
Nah, Artifacts were just runes from League, not items.

Items let you build your character the way your team needs them to perform and lets you counterbuild some one on the other team that's troublesome.

There's a ton of stuff you can do in DotA, League has a lot of cookie-cutter buy orders with room here and there for an item switch, and Heroes... well, doesn't have anything depth wise really.

>>123505690
Valla is actually considered one of the better range aassassins in the game.

You should have seen when Nova was picked in a competitive game today. Everyone laughed and basically for the next 3 games kept making jokes about how shit she is.

>>123506482
that's retarded

the reward is what's basically expected baseline behavior and common decency?

>>123504558
And that doesn't work when you're getting random players as teammates.

But that's how this game is supposed to be, it's there so that the guy that only plays one match a week can still win because that's Blizzards target audience nowadays. That's the people that can't be assed to actually play but will still throw 20 bucks for a hero and a skin.

>>123507176
the fact that there's a built in report system implies that there will be people being dicks

the fact that there is no built in commend system implies that no one should be friendly and helpful

>basically expected baseline behavior and common decency

Yes, there is. You say exactly that.

What you're actually asking is:
>so there's no reward for basically expected baseline behavior and common decency?
Yes, there's no reward for basically expected baseline behavior and common decency. It's basically expected baseline behavior and common decency.

Why do you hold yourself to a lower standard than everyone else?

>>123507781
i'd like to see there being rewards for being friendly

slow mines with extra mines talent. other talents are comp and situational

>>123511681
I just watched that match too, first comp game I've looked at.

Is it just me or is there absolutely no depth to this game? I'm not sure why people play this competitively.
I mean, when I watch dota 2 games, it's pretty obvious that yes, these players are better than me and yes, these players know more about the game than me.

In hots is just like... there's no depth. I could be on that team and replace any one player and follow the rest of the team

>>123511681
>gathering power without comms and uther/tyreal invul heroics
Relax, you have nothing to worry about.

>>123511923
yeah every rank 35 scrub like you says this. watch some of your games and compare and see how fucking terrible you are compared to them.

>>123512045
I don't know why you immediately get so defensive. Of course my games are different, I'm not on LAN with 5 buddies I can talk to.

>>123511923
It's a fucking MOBA. The skill ceiling is no higher than a foot above the ground. If you want examples of progamers who are insanely above the level of the average gamer, you'd have to look at RTS players like sc2 pros

>>123512328
I'm aware, but again, compare to dota or hon. You can actually tell those are competitive games just from watching. Not the case with hots.

There's alot going on behind the scenes that you won't know about unless you've scrimmed before against the top amateur teams.

To list a few:

>Predicting drafting/bans and securing top compositions on maps
>Cursed Hollow tribute spawning and positioning yourself to be close to it when it spawns
>Merc spawn times at the beginning of the game and maximizing merc damage based on objective
>2 minute rule for objective spawnings
>Hero combos e.g tyrande/mura, aba/melee assassin, raynor/medic, uther/tyreal, etc
>Denying soak and exp
>Making tough decisions to push lanes instead of wasting time rotating
>Deciding to do boss and do it safely
>Using Hardened shield to bait cooldowns before a teamfight
>Talent choices, do you pick nexus frenzy to gun core down at 20-18 level advantage or pick bolt to be safe, etc
>Picking talents via ctrl+# instead of mouse clicking. Imagine getting level 10 and using Strafe right after to secure 3 kills.
>Having support channeling tribute/objective instead of your dps
>Zoning and ambushing locations
>Ambushing their merc camps before immortal/objective appears

There's alot more but these are some things that I've been thinking about lately.

FUCK ABATHUR how the fuck is it fair to have fucking global range on something that slows you and deals a fuck ton of damage? by the time you walk a quarter of the way through the map, you run through like 50 mines and show up at the tribute with 20% health what the fuck, how is this balanced?

>>123522754
waaah waaaah waaah
it's 4v5 in team fight until level 10, mines are the least of your worries, bronzie

>>123522754
It's not global range unless he takes the talent for it but I agree the slow mine is fucking stupid as hell.

It's like Thralls shitty ult but all over the place.

>>123522754

3) takes a fucking ETERNITY to arm
4) killable in 2 hits
5) not stackable
6) you are terrible at this game

>locust build
trying to relive that cancerious period where abathur was outranging forts, heh?

>>123524325
>relive
it's literally the mainstream build since forever and that hasn't changed
even with someone like illidan the build is pretty much the same, sometimes you dont even give up slow mines for attack speed since they're so powerful

>>123523834
Any map with small choke paints make the slow mines fucking terrible to deal with. Slowing 50% for something he can just keep throwing it out is way too much.

It should be like a 25% slow.

>>123524615
>give up slows for attack speed
>attack speed level 4
>slow level 7
please stop talking out of your ass about heroes you don't play.

>>123524708
actually he can't keep throwing them out, not only is there a pretty substantial cooldown on the charges but you have to un-hat which forces hat on cooldown too

how about you actually play a hero and understand how they work before you complain about them. i mean you are complaining about the second-lowest winrate hero in the game (after cho'gall) whose winrate goes even further down every patch.

>>123524756
I accidently swapped a talent, what's the big deal? The point still stands.
The locust/mines build is the dominant one.

http://www.hotslogs.com/Sitewide/HeroDetails

>>123524854
I do play the hero and you are choosing mine talents than you aren't going hat build which means staying one hero is fucking wrong because leaving the hero refreshes cooldowns faster.

And if you are going mine build chances are you are taking the talent which makes it so you can have more mine charges.

Maybe play the character before trying to talk about him.

Not even the person you are replying to but you have pretty much gone full retard. You are saying a meme hero with a 40% winrate (closer to 30% in Bronze where you are I think) should be nerfed, your reasons being your own lack of understanding of both his kit and talents.

rank 5 is closer to like 2.7k MMR

>>123526228
Yeah, and then you win one and get +500 bonus points because your MMR doesn't fluctuate as much as rank.

>tfw you've earned enough gold from the stimpack to unlock a hero (4k, but whatever)

should i Gaz, Chillidan, or Tchus?

>>123526250
No I'm saying that on maps like BoE, Cursed Hollow and some other ones a 50% slow mine is complete bullshit. Thralls Ult does 70% and can only be used once every 60 seconds Abathur on maps like that can throw mines fucking every where and slow you down nonstop.

Abathur is a really niche pick and only works on certain maps but the maps he works on he works very well on. The reason his win% is so low is because idiots pick him and do nothing the entire game because I'm pushing or they don't know how to soak with their body. Or hell go hat build when no one on the team benefits from it.

I can't tell you how many Abathur's just sit in base and do fucking nothing because they think that's all the hero is until late game when they can start putting down more locusts or whatever.

Also the balance changes hurt him a little bit.

>>123526112

don't play for 3 days and get 3 dailies

complete the 800 or 600 gold daily

because you'll already have a 200 and 300 gold daily, you can't get them again, so your chances of getting another 800/600 daily is higher

grind away

Sham used to be on par with that type of play (if anyone remember's him). Sham took the posession ultimate on sylvanas before they buffed it despite having a hero level of 20 with her, didn't know sylvanas's banshees could teleport him, and would constantly call out his teamates for being bad.

>>123531438
You forgot that he took Possession because he didn't know he had to detonate Wailing Arrow.

>>123534023

So many god damn players don't understand the concept of teamwork as Nova though. They sit there watching a teamfight and not helping at all or they go after people solo and get themselves torn in half.

>>123534135
Almost never die though.

>>123534223

You may be doing the reverse - playing too passive, not doing enough damage or targeting the right heroes and your tanks/team get overwhelmed because the enemy's DPS is doing more damage than you in more important areas

Or you're constantly being paired with shit players who make terrible choices for tanks and support.

>>123534372
This might be it, which would explain why my highest winrate characters are abathur, brightwing, and murky, all of which either play passively or can play more aggressively without much risk.

>>123533704
I just bought Uther today. I'm still learning him. Don't plan on league play anytime soon.

>>123534734

That's fine then anon. But bear in mind once you get the basics down you'll have to learn his optimal 8-button buid.

>>123534372

That's my issue when I play Assassins.

I'm too hesitant to dive in as I worry that I'll end up dying alone and that will help the enemy team sweep my side.

Though I think part of that is a lack of coordination with pugs and my usual tendency towards mages and support. So I've never really learned when to push hard with Valla or such.

>>123534813

I figure I could do that if I was playing with teammates I knew and trusted to not be shitters. But with QM, I'd rather play safe and few buttons for bigger heals.

Thoughts on Zeratul after the nerf? no memes

>>123535710

Yeah. Higher base stats, lower scaling.

It's designed to prevent snowballing as heavily.

>>123535710
Their aim was to make level progression more coherent and to make levels as a whole less important regarding stats.

What this means is a bunch of your stats you used to gain from level ups are now baseline and the difference between low levels should now be similar to that between high levels (the difference between 3 and 4 stats used to be around 30% stats, now it's around 5% just like lategame level differences)

I like living dangerously

why is this game getting almost no porn but overwatch getting so much

>>123549421
Well, Jaina has a lot of porn of her.

>>123549421
Because all characters in this game exist in other universes so they do in fact get porn just not with each other. If someone likes <Warcraft character> they are probably going to make Warcraft porn of it. If someone likes an Overwatch character the only universe that character exists in is the Overwatch universe. How do you make the distinction between KharazimxValla being Diablo porn vs HotS porn?

There does need to be HotS cross-franchise R34 though.

>>123549421
because Overwatch isn't a dead piece of shit ripoff

Of what? Guns of the Ancients? Get real kid.

>>123549497
old porn, or porn based on her current wow model doesnt count

>>123549561
tag it as both if it fits, either way there still isnt much d3 demon hunter or barbarian or any of the others

The only characters with much are jaina, sylvanas, tyrande, and then theres maybe a few dozen of lili, then it drops to almost nothing

>>123549902
Porn with their HOTS design would be amazing

>>123549902
HotS is a pure game.
Even my girlfriend plays it without me.

>>123550053
women don't play video games

>>123550092
They do but gf/wife material will never reveal their power level.

I non-ironically enjoy playing Cho'Gall.

>>123550289
you do realize that like 80% of people here are shitters that aren't even rank 1 and that you shouldn't get influenced by them?

>>123550380
>chogall player knows everyone else is bad

>>123550289
It's okay, anon. You can enjoy playing him, just as long as you don't play him too often!

>>123550380
Except even the highest MMR players realize he's shit?

>>123550726
>he gets countered by % based abilities silly!
xDD

>>123550782
Also polymorph and cocoon, but whatever.

Even aside from all that, Cho'gall gives you one less body for soak and map presence. This is huge, especially at high level play. Not only that, but if cho makes a mistake, two people pay for it, and your team loses two. This means enemy teams get way more value out of catch abilities like octo grab and kerri combo if cho tiptoes even a centimeter out of position.

Plus, as you already mentioned, he has a ton of popular counters. You can't just greentext a flaw and then write it off like it's nothing.

>>123550782
No he also he gets destroyed by any form of CC.

Tyrande, ETC. They can fucking destroy you and they routinely do.

>>123550782
He also has little natural tankiness- Cho'Gall has a big health pool but compared to Johanna or Muradin he feels fragile. And that's not going into how much %-based damage fucks him over
