Does Dehaka not speak? Does he only make stupid generic screeching noises?

Will we never get to hear "ESSENCE"???

Third for bladewolf

I'm assuming the reason they didn't show off Tracer in the in-dev video is because they have some Overwatch event lined up.

I'm willing to bet good money that Nova will get a Widowmaker skin.

Vaguely April.

Because Dehaka is out either the 22nd or the 29th, if Blizzard sticks to their 3-4 week release schedule then only one hero can be out in April which means that Tracer is for sure up next. Usually they show off two heroes for in-dev videos, I assume the fact that they held off showing Tracer means they have something specific in mind for her release rollout.

The only good skin really was that li li skin and I don't even like li li. I love the mech skins, but that one is kind of meh. No ty on the shogun skin.

Human Li-Li skin when? She'd be acceptable if she stopped being a stupid panda.

>>135628749
On that note, Dehaka's Heroes design is so much better than his Heart of the Swarm design it's not even funny.

Wow they said check out the "heroes", only one hero and "mounts" zero mounts.

>>135630498
Well, it's just a copy pasted text that's put in each one of those.
I'm more triggered by "Dehaka, Shogun Artanis AND MORE!" where "more" is literally one more skin....

>>135628591

From that video it looks like Dehaka's tongue thing stuns the person and they can be dragged? So just tongue them then use the skill shot ult after so you don't miss it that silences for 3 seconds and can't see your allies for 6 on a healer and you can basically take them out of the fight.

>>135631717
Yup, the Q stun is 1.75 seconds so it's 5 seconds of hard CC untalented.

>>135631937
Dehaka OP, pls nerf

>>135631937
>nerf kts stun to 1 second
>nerf tyrande stun to 0.75 seconds
>remove mini-stuns on avatar
>give new hero a 1.75 second stun on a basic ability that also can reposition heroes.
umm hello?

>>135631717
Seriously, Muradin's Q is a 1,5 second stun and is one of the better stuns in game.
This fucker has 1,75s AND displacement.

I thought it would work like Butchers ult, but bound to your body and lasting only half of it's time. But what they shown seems pretty OP

>>135631991
>>135632258
>>135632327
Maybe he's really squishy? Like, Anub'araks level of not-tankiness but still warrior. He has better Ice block, heal on trait and on ult and a talent that gives you spell shield every time you use W. With all that dmg mitigation, he's baseline HP is gonna need to be pretty low.

Then again, the more OP he is, the more money on his release.

>>135632258
>his stun will be as good at kt's and tyrande's added together with repositioning

>>135632327
>>135632258
He can't do anything else during the stun though. And it's not easy for him to position himself to bodyblock after his stun.

>>135632594
>press q
>jump into fight
>press r
>pull squishy
>hit w
>retreat or press the assualt
Can't go wrong

>>135632740
He can move during the stun and reposition the hero he is stunning. Also he is a warrior so he can take damage

>>135631937
What the hell? Thats enough to blow up even a tank that gets dragged.

>>135632740
>>135632594
Or is he going to be one of those:
>Really good with the right team, really shit with a bad team?

I can see people using Z to borrow into the enemies, try to drag the healer and die 1v5, then blame the team because
>I was peeling out the healer, WTF team?

man all these op heroes. fix kerrigan and arthas already you losers.

>>135633012
Imagine him with hammer Just dragging people into her range.

Or with stitches where every hook is a kill.

He's rated as easy but i can't help but feel shitters will be terrible on him.
>Drag enemy warrior away and abandon your frontline, basicly initiating for the enemy team

fucking mongs

This game is terrible to play on saturdaynight. Full of people who have know idea how to play. Everyone focuses on the enemy tank. No teamplay. I was in a game and we got 1 support who picked a 'dps' build throughout the game. We lost terribly.

gg

also nice to see Nova is back to her highest skill requirement level taking half your health with 1 q

>>135637638
It's always funny seeing enemy novas dropping their clones while running away, like it's going to fool anyone. I guess you could say it's to block skillshots but it's certainly never helped.

is there any way to check out the players and/or teams of the heroes of the dorm thing? maybe if I had an approximate idea of what their MMR i could actually care to participate on the bracket challenge

it's like blizzard doesn't know that dota did this in the past because there's an actual e-sports scene that people follow instead of some literal whos

this is quite blind

>>135637638
Nova has never been an issue to anybody that wasn't completely terrible or has bad eyesight and can't really see stealth. Even in the latter case, you just travel around with another person and negate her that way.

I've finally given up on HotS.
VS AI is boring
Quick Match is frustrating since you are too dependent on your teammates and their choice of characters.But atleast that lets you blame them for playing shit.
League gets you reported faster than being jewish in Nazi Germany for not playing one of the ten or so heroes that are considered worthy of the current meta.

>>135639058
QM would be vasly more tolerable if they would just make a separate role for the Bruisers, add a rule to QM specifically for Bruisers, and then force at laest 1 Warrior and 1 Support to each team. If a match lacks any three of those roles, it's at it's most imbalanced state because of the intense power creep going on. Even with the Warrior rule is the system pushing it considering Bruisers cannot equal full on Warriors, unless the Warrior is just bad at his job.

Hope to see you come back.

The technology is finally here. It's hard to believe this day has come.

>>135639668
Whoa? They have that kind of technology now?

>>135639605
Tell me about Dehaka. Why does he miss an arm?

>>135639820
Maybe they should add Bruisers as the 5th class and force the teams to have one of each.
Not sure if that would help though.

>>135640446
I'm no expert but it's battle damage. Dehaka is an old zerg, like one of the oldest or some shit and he's worn out from battle.
The idea is that he consumes "essence"(whatever the fuck that is) and adapts regenrates his limbs.

9/10 of my recent games haven't had any supports in them

what the fuck is going on

>lost cavern still not available

>>135641297
How many things need to be made base line?
I feel like half of the talents Arthas has

>>135640534
I feel like the solution would be to, yeah make the Bruisers the 5th class, but force at least 1 Support to each team, and then make it force either 1 Warrior to each or 1 Bruiser to each. If the team has more than one of either role, force the other team to mirror that as well, because I think without mirroring the Support/Bruiser/Warrior roles, you then risk making the game FAR too one-sided given the way they've designed some heroes. If you force one of each role, as nice as that sounds, you run into the problem of parties of 3-4 who are likely doubling up roles or something. It's bad enough solo queuers are getting matched with these fuckers who are likely on Skype and shit.

Alternatively make a separate queue for solos/duos, and then another for triples and up, and when you queue as a solo or a duo, give the option to opt into the 3-4 man queue as well if you really just don't care. But again, even that is something that would push queue timers into being longer.

It's a really tricky situation, but it's honestly all their fault. They strayed too far away from what each role is defined as. We now have Assassins that severely outclass 80% of the Assassin pool with insane survivability and mobility, Assassins that can double as Bruisers, same for Specialists, and Warriors that aren't REALLY Warriors at all, but are rather just slightly beefier Assassins, etc.

>>135641530

>>135641018
>>135642578
It's especially frustrating when your team has no frontline. You have to hope for a Thrall, MAYBE Xul, but otherwise you probably won't even get a Warrior. If you do, it'll likely just be Artanis, and Artanises are always fucking horrible, nevermind the fact that he can't protect shit so you might as well not have a Warrior at all.

Alright guys, I'm desperate.
How do you win on fucking garden?
It's the only map I somehow feel more like a burden to, rather than a part of the team.

>>135643190
gittus guddus

>>135643190
Like most maps. Make sure you get good soak in, play the objective. The objective is great because of how strong it becomes, and it allows for splitting up the enemy team, which gives you more room for soaking/pushing elsewhere while the Terror dances circles around them and stalls them, or good for ambushing them as they ARE split up.

Then later on it's insanely good in teamfights.

It's also good to try and time mercs as seeds pop up, so you can try to collect the smaller seed camps. That's where the money is, in those smaller seed camps. The big golems take forever to do, and leave you open to being jumped whilst doing them.

Split them up 2/1 instead of 1/1/1.
During objectives send 1 viking out depending on which objective it is and soak with the other 2.
Now you get a 1-3 level advantage and the rest of your team can win from that.

>>135649437
It depends on where the team fight is, and when it is. Also, depends on the objective, and whether or not you're behind in exp. Sometimes just ignoring your team for soaking and pushing is the smarter thing to do. Especially so if they're foregoing exp soak for a pointless fight. I'd rather have the soak and lane progress.

Besides for the fact that Li ming counter brightwing because she can't heal enough to counter her burst

He's good, but not at all great, and is countered by pretty much every Assassin, is the problem.

Whatever though, he'll be buffed eventually because everyone kind of realizes that while he's good, there's nothing he really has on any other Warrior aside from waveclear and mercing, which aren't anything to write home about as far as coordinated higher tiers of play goes, and it will be fucking dooooope.

He's good for removing stuns and roots and for palm which is immune to Xul's healing debuff. That's about it.

>>135670183
The burst is removed by pixie dust, and the rest is taken care of by blink heal. On top of that the movement speed allows you to outrun her damage if you are too braindead to dodge it. The only ability that is very difficult to dodge that she has is her disintegrate, and you can polymorph her out of that. Plus the vulnerability and she will pop instantly, even if you don't land your Q

>>135673493
if I literally have problems playing the game every time I try it, to the point where it fucks with my play severely, why should I keep doing it though. that's like smashing a brick on your foot every time you go jogging because someone told you it makes your gainz better.

i'm certain that ol'dusty has some kind of trauma from his time on SC2 and makes every character from the game absolute shit.

>>135677584
You are correct, sometimes they die too quickly, but the nice thing about li ming is there is a fair warning before the spell hits, or in the case of her ult the damage doesn't come all at once.
Considering brightwng is a support and cannot move her teammates out of the li ming if they are downers then 2% is okay.

Li Li is the softest carry

I do it all the time. People really underestimate just how much free time Li Li is granted to just whack on people mercilessly and body block for free since her heal doesn't require targeting. You can literally do three or four things at once relatively safely without having to sacrifice healing output. She's great.

They're easy pickings when playing against them, but just as often as not, you're playing WITH them.
And that's just an exercise in pain.

Once you become decent at this game, you'll soon realize that there is very little difference between Ranked and QM.

On another note, if I see another fucking Nova in one of my games I'm going to lose my shit

What malfurion alt is better?

>>135693361
Twilight Dream is very enemy-comp dependant. It's good against Zeratul, Tychus, Kerrigan, any melee/short ranged hero really. Tranquility is better in nearly all situations though, as aside from Zeratul, Thrall and probably Xul, you will rarely go against a melee hero that isn't a Warrior. They're just not that great. They're working on fixing this though. Generally, if it's a silence you're looking for, you should just play Sylvanas instead as Wailing Arrow is her only viable ultimate.

should blizzard go back on their word and add both genders from d3 to the game as different skillsets?

>>135691773
This game is full of retarded children. The games are usually decided by the draft so most QM games come down to who has the better composition. Basically nothing you do as a player can affect the outcome of the game. The only way you can affect the game and carry is by being an effective shot caller which is essentially impossible because there is no voice chat. The closest you can come to shot calling without a mic is to play initiators. That way you can pick when you fight and you can peel.

If you play damage you are relying on your tank who may be a literal plant. I've played too many games with a Sonya running around in circles behind me as DPS when a fight is brewing. But again, you are relying on your team to follow up, which is always a matter of trust and not something you can be assured of because you can't fucking talk

Mic support will be integrated with the Battle.net desktop app instead of in game

You'll be able to create a voice chat room between you and your friends, even across games, as it'll connect via the battle.net app instead of individual games like Diablo or Hearthstone or Heroes, as long as you guys are on each other's friend lists.

As for non player created channels, the battle.net app will pull data from the heroes replay file to connect you and others on your team (who have opted into voice chat) into a custom made voice chat channel. Just note that muting someone only mutes their voice from the battle.net voice chat, and does not affect their messages in game.

Fuck that, why settle for skintightsuitmostlyhuman Kerrigan when you can have naked Xel-naga Kerrigan.

It'd be a legendary skin too.
She's practically one of the faces of Blizzard. She deserves a legendary skin.

>>135697963
2 legendaries out of 3 are from SC

thanks but no thanks

>>135697749
>>135697963
I WANT SC2FAGS LEAVE SKREEEEEEEEEE

>>135697963

So what are the reasons behind charging $15 for a skin opposed to the normal $7 - $10 rates? Do skins give you other things besides appearances? Like diff looking abilities and shit?

>>135699191
master skins just add spikes now and then to the char
normal skins are just different skins
"rare" skins are skins with different voice acting and/or different looking abilities
legendaries one have new VA, abilities and something else (for example tass' transformer mount)

dunno what makes thyc and leoric ones legenday... probably the new VA and abilities are REALLY good or something

>>135699191
Themed abilities
Different voice sounds

Listen to Spectre Illidan and Nova
Space Lord Leoric also has different voice sounds as well as themed abilities

>>135699191
themed abilities and voiceovers.

they should also have new dances, taunts, and hearths for that price.

>>135699581
Hope she was worth it Jimmy

>>135699581
Infested Tychus' ults get a Zerg theme, too.
So the Odin and Mining Laser come down covered in Zerg tentacles and shit.
He also has completely new animations for his walk cycle and attacks.

who is excited for Wc4? Its already in development

Sweet. My dad works at Nintendo.

>>135700968
If you're an insider, then tell Metzen I once dreamt that he stabbed a cop in the chest and framed me for it. He was wearing a black shirt with some jeans, and he laughed at me as I got arrested.

I really did dream this. It was a few months after WoD released.

>>135701341
we've all been there anon

>>135701341
To be fair, WoD was basically him doing that to the entire playerbase

>Recently switch from League
>There aren't late game champs running around 2 shotting people
This game's not bad.

>>135702167
>he hasn't seen what Li-Ming can do

>>135702304
just focus her
just focus morales
just focus chogall

>>135702167
>>There aren't late game champs running around 2 shotting people

Oh, just you wait.

>>135702304
>>135702713
That's unfortunately what I left league for, and now that it's gone i'm not sure what to play

>Enemy pick Morales
>Team picks Li Li

>>135702907
It isn't AS bad as League, but... it's getting bad. They keep releasing heroes that burst for a shit ton of damage. Half the roster isn't viable mostly because of shit like this. It just doesn't compare.

>>135703075
hots has problem that they want to compete with league but do not know how to do it

When they fuck will they nerf Thrall's pussy ass self heals?

>>135703974
When they nerf the burstyness of the whole game, so never

nice power fantasy

Thrall or butcher? Who is the best one for hero killing and some soloing?

>>135705079
Definitely thrall

>>135703974
just focus him
just blind him
just stun him

JUST

>>135705079
butcher
he is perfect for taking out running targets with low hp

>>135705079
Thrall. Has a retarded heal, ranged abilities,and a Warrior's ult.

>>135705854
What is the best ult? I see that 90% of people take the ground smash which i think is crap, the slowing wave is sooo much better

>>135704681
I wouldn't be surprised. Time spent balancing half the roster is expected to be spent on retarded shit.

>>135705914
Just uninstall the game

>>135706001
4chan is 18+ mr edgelord, pls leave

>>135705914
Sundering because CC is everything in this game, basically. And it's a ranged mostly un-dodgable stun. It can be used for engages, disengages, finishing people off, etc. Earthquake is good for kiting people, but Sundering is just too good in all cases, you could Sunder the fucker instead of Earthquake.

>>135706085
Watch your mouth when talking to your elders, mr 19 year old
