¬q => p v ¬q

your meme is true

I had a really bad opinion against nova, I thought she sucked, garbage, waste of a slot and secure loss... until I played with her... It's not even hard to play with her, and she can alter a teamfight and give her team the advantage really easily, it's all about who are you targeting.

then, why is it that there are so many shitter novas?? I had the mission of playing 8 games and won 7/8, not even bluffing, and during all of them I only saw one enemy nova that I recognized had skill. (I mean, she even blocked my shots with her own hologram)

>>137660229
You are right, it's ASSFAGGOTS.
I don't even remember when it was removed from the OP text

>>137661474
Nova is fine as long as the enemy has some squishy targets for you and you can actually hit them

The problem is a lot of idiots can't land their snipes properly or position in a way they won't instantly get killed

>>137661474
everybody is shit
nova is just 1 dimensional so the mistakes are obvious

funny image but a shit caption, should be 'come Misha' or 'I hear the call of the wild', it gets the point across just as well without being so blatant.

I wish they would add unit selection and control groups.
Rexxar and every other multi unit hero would feel a lot less clunky.
I know this game is aimed at casuals but some of the heroes are not.

Illidan almost never does that much damage even if he's playing optimally. He's more of a soft tank that dictates the flow of the whole teamfight.

One of his bigger problems, I think, is his teammates. I've seen lots of missed kills on roamers when they stumble into a bush of mines and limp away with 20%, and the nearby laner hasn't even taken notice.

Same for vision via mines, people (at low mmr, at least) don't really keep an eye on their minimap, and miss the rotation, getting ganked.

I think he's a pretty neat Hero, just a bit niche. Again, there's the potential to get a lot of flak, especially if you draft him.

Yeah, I think you'd probably be better off with Grav-o. Just practice it in Try Mode a bit, make sure you're able to land it.

Gust is a hell of a lot more useful, and has an extremely short cd.

Hinterland Blast is pretty much the most easily avoidable ult. If you ever picked that shit in Hero league you're almost a useless pile of meat.

Falstad already deals a shitload of damage without Hinterland blast, and gust has so much more use to any team, even in QM.

Target a squishy autoattack with the jail, run in, pop shield, use scythe, pop skelli mages, hit 2-3 times with improved autoattack.
Run out when you are low on hp and fill up on nearby minions or get healed. Repeat or run away, if the others on your team fucked up.

His true strength is that he can soak really good with his skills (and push to some degree) in several lanes, where nobody is currently soaking. If you do it right, you can get close to Viking Xp (20-30% less) and still be at teamfights.

>>137704528
Mages are more of a situational thing, it's handy for area denial and if the enemy team has lots of backline. Poison Nova is great for melting frontline, but it's not very effective if they have a healer or little frontline. Amplify damage and backlash are a fun combo, just make sure to gauge the enemy team's amount of auto attack before you take those two. Shade does wonders for your survivability if they've got Illidan, Greymane, Valla, etc.

>>137704635
It's free damage if you have the other skeleton talents.

Her ulti is a little bursty but presumably thats on a significant CD

I personally dont think tracer looks that broken at all. She's not like li ming with her CD resets or xul with his point and click root. She's high mobility, forsure, but if her only damage is AA then her not being OP is just a simple "get the numbers right" thing, whereas with li ming her OP-ness is permanently part of her kit, you cant nerf her without a head-to-toe rework.

Actually, if li ming's trait had an internal cd of, let's say, 10 seconds, i think she would be pretty fine. Honestly, i'm not even sure it's about her trait, the thing i find most annoying about her is her amazing range and even if you manage to get close to her, she can blink away

If I came back would I be against people who played that whole time, or would I be pooping on bronze players.

Sylvanas
I really like her but suck badly at playing her.
>>137728596
Bane?

>>137728174
I like sylvanus but hate her playstyle
Rexxar
illidan because I suck at him
zeratul ditto
...tyrande ditto
...li ming ditto
Assassins are rough.

>Bane over Cairne
I love memes and all but if we're ever to get a Tauren it should be Cairne.
He's a total bro and a great hero. ;_;7

>>137728596
Why do you hate ETC? Too so lolrandum for you? I agree Cairne would be great though.

>chen's D is cancelled immediately if you spam it

am I crazy or was this changed with the recent patch

>not dying 10x to truly unlock illidan's true power

>>137729041
speaking of dying, why haven't you offed yourself yet

>>137728997
They changed it. Added 0.5s where you can't self-cancel drink and pressing D after that cancels drink.

Yes, it's retarded and unnecessary.

He actually looks reasonably close to how he did in-game in SC2, which was also weirdly different from his cutscene model. Considering what they did with Xul's design though, Amazon getting a makeover is probably a safe bet if she ever gets added.

>>137729179
Seriously? I was thinking of buying chen too, he's a fun hero but that just seems like a retarded brain dead change.

>>137713906

why is dmg so low here

>>137729179

Yeah, I went to try out his Warmaster skin, been waiting for it to be on sale to buy chen for a while

Instantly cancelling my D out of habit, and I'm not sure I can get used to this

>>137728174
Arthas and Kerrigan

>>137729728
no healers/tanks so they all die in seconds.

>it's a "malf and morales on the same team" episode

no one dies NO ONE DIES I CAN'T KILL ANYTHING

>dual support meme
It REALLY needs to end. You can make it work but it most often ends in frustration. Makes me want to stop running support altogether in QM just because it happens so often.

>>137729237

Kill yourself.

>dual support meme

I think that it depends. Morales/Uther paired with an Illidan, for instance, can be great.

Just like how Tyrande and Tassadar are flexible, more so than, say, Morales, and can be shuffled in just fine.

>>137730353
well yea, kharazhim tass and tyrande are all pretty flexible in that they can play efficient damage roles and li li can do tons of sustain, but some supports are just water on oil.

>no one notices minions are pushing the core in
>go back and try to fight it while everyone else fucks around
>can't kill the catapults fast enough
>watch helplessly as my team goes to collect seeds

I think I'm done for today. It's entirely my fault as well, which makes this even worse. I really shouldn't be this furious.
