just bothered cause he went for cheap shots instead of trying to counter anything i say

after all; he could be sleeper OP like Medivh and i'd love for someone to provide a case for Gul'dan but until then it feels like his pros are massively outweighed by his cons

File: ducc.jpg (18KB, 582x365px)

18KB, 582x365px

>>149771617
Presumably because the artists who are responsible for making the characters thought the model we now have was their favorite and the best fit for an easily recognizable hero. Like it or not, racial coding is a really easy way to make a (human) character stand out.

but it looks like they changed other things too: white morales doesn't have teeth and her forehead looks a bit different.

>dat tooth gap tho

>>149772260
Guldan and Master Skin Guldan have a relatively huge offset of face textures. If you swap them back an forth you can see his face in the master skin is a little to his left and his upper lip doesn't align with his front teeth anymore.

she'll still be better than before. she just has doesn't have much place. no reason to take her with those heroics. even with the shield and regen increases.

They need to drop hammers price. Love playing with her, but not worth 7k

I've been talking with a friend about re-creating the duel between Arthas and Illidan in HotS

And we concluded that with the appropriate build Arthas would probably win again lol

What do you guys think?

We assumed the duel would take place at level 30 with all possible quests completed

We also know that this duel would be inexact because Arthas faced Illidan as a Deathknight and not as the Lich King

you should focus on things already 2/4k if you are new. leoric is especially primed for a price cut with most 10k before him being hit. uther is also a little dicey being that the supports don't have much in the 2/4k zone so they all could go any time with a new support coming.

anything greymane or older at 7 or 10k should be bought with care.

Get the starter bundle that gives you 3 heroes, a horse mount, and a stimpak with +70% discount. If you own all 3 heroes (they are dirt cheap) is less than 3 dollars. Pretty good. If it is your first purchase, you also get a goat mount.

I find that this game is a very slippery slope. If we're winning, the team will most likely follow orders and stomp. But if you're even slightly losing people tend to still do their own thing and ignore everyone else.

This patch is quite lack-luster. Suppose it's actually getting updates unlike Hearthstone.

From Reddit:

Auriel new info so far, no mana, no cleanse, 4 second blind talent. Ressurect has no timer on how long after someone dies, has 90 second cooldown. Bestow hope can be switched between targets quickly (about a second), designed to be solo support. PTR next week, release the following week.

No mana hero, only CD and energy based for heals
Probably no cleanse
Lvl 20 talent that gives her a fly similar to Falstads
Insane heal potential based off energy gain (from her own damage, and from her trait recipient that you have to stay fairly close to)
Heal is aoe and has a fairly large range, she can heal herself
Several different talent builds and quest talents (Q build for newer people, scaling w build for higher skill players)

>>149832473

Why? At that point the team is all roaming together, its useless and I got no idea why its not just part of her base kit, too similar to BW? Either way, its useless at that point.

monstrocity is fine in alot of situations

>>149834501
Yeah, like when the enemy team can't win a team fight 5v4

>>149834685
A good hat build makes that 5v4.5. Maybe even 4.75, if you have a solid melee and attack speed. Something like a Sonya. God I love Sonya hats.
All the while monstro pushing the off lane causing the enemy team to ping and bicker, maybe even break off to deal with it.

Monstro works. But is not advised for team fight objective maps.

>>149835410
>But is not advised for team fight objective maps.
which is basically every map at its core

>>149835410
>>149835662
>>149834685
What I don't get is theoretically, if you go Hat Build, you shouldn't take the ult that stops you from being able to hat people.

But that's just not the case.

>another blind
>butcher gets countered by yet another new hero

>>149835662
Not really. Things like Spiders, Blackheart, The Garden, or DK don't have a central point where everyone converges on a singular objective.
I know what you're saying though, as most maps you end up 5v5ing at some point. But that goes back to the solid melee/hat build thing. It makes up for it in spectacular ways. Especially with Sonya. My god, do I ever have fun as Sonya when I got a solid hat build.

The main problem, is that either the Aba doesn't know how to play well, or more often, the team doesn't know how to properly work with an Aba. Thus making stupid plays. Or they drafted stupid and didn't support the Aba pick.

>>149836035
you either make the monstrosity another hero (which is insanely situational, so not the case) or take monstro so it pushes some lane while you help your team, so the other team either suffers the push or loses a member to stop it
Evolution is usually better, thats true

>>149836035
That's because a copy of a player is much stronger than the hat since you can be pretty suicidal for no penalty. Then if the clone dies, you can hat someone right after and still be useful

>>149837976
Especially if you make a copy of a high damage hero. You can be suicidal and make a lot riskier plays since the only penalty for you dying is the copy goes away, while forcing the enemy team to have to either deal with you and waste resources on the copy, or ignore you and take lots of damage.

>>149838552
The copy I think gives a 1/4th experience, doesn't it?

>>149837976
Fair. I dunno. I love the copy, I really do, but it feels like if you are going hat and mines build, it would make sense to teamfight as you know, hat and mines.

But I guess that's like any other strong heroic that stops you from doing your normal shit.

>>149839296
>The copy I think gives a 1/4th experience, doesn't it?
I think so? I havent played Aba in a while, so not 100% sure. Still not much of a penalty for losing it.

>>149839296
I don't know if it gives exp but it's still worth it. There are so many games where I make a copy of Tracer or Illidan, dive the enemy kael and kill him because nobody wants to kill my clone when the real one is fighting their front line. Also having two illidans diving into your team is scary as fuck if you don't have a lot of aoe cc

I rather like these new trailers they are making. Short and sweet.

Nice try LK. Btw, Lauralania rules. She got to interview fucking Tychus. Deal with it.

Auriel's talents:
1:
-Increase Q (AoE swipe) speed
-Quest - increase Q center damage by hitting heroes
-Hitting Q center reduces Q cooldown
-W (the AoE heal) also deals damage
4:
-Increase Q radius
-Slow after stun on E (if stuns)
-Quest - E damage increase if stuns
7:
-Lower W cooldown
-Regen globe decreases next W energy cost
-Double the amount of energy you get from basic attacks
-Hero with your trait on him also generates energy from damage dealt TO HIM
13:
-Q blinds in center (4s blind)
-Q pulls into center
-E affects all enemies in line (not only the first one hit)
-Increases knockback distance of E
16:
-Quest - increases max energy
-Hero with your trait on him gets bonus attack speed
-Hero with your trait on him gets bonus ability power
20:
-Resurrection brings back with 100% HP and increases move speed
-Ice block ult gives shield
-One target shield, bigger the less HP that hero has
-Falstad's Z

>>149849362
Mmmhmhmm... quest on 16 lvl..

>>149849725
Energy only affects her W heal. You gather energy from % of the damage you and one of the heroes nearby you deal (you can swap which ally you want to suck from with trait, like 1s CD to swap).
Once you get any energy, you can cast W to spend it ALL on AoE heal for that amount. It has a cap, at lvl20 around 1100 heal (Uther's Q on 20 heals for 936).
All of her other abillities are only CD based. W also has it's own CD, regardless of energy.

Supposedly it works that every time you hold on with using your heal until it reaches max cap, you increase the max cap. And it either has no limitation or has one that is ridiculously high. The developer joked around saying something about "5k heals"

I don't want them to nerf blinds though. It is one of the few ways I think to counterpick.

Maybe they could theoretically make some talents that make them less AA dependant?

>>149871284

Maybe something like "true" damage from LoL?
Doesn't count as AA, cannot be blinded, evaded or spellshielded.
Samuro's trait could be his critical strike ability from WC3, but on demand. Similar to Artanis' Double Strike and Arthas' Frostmourne. And add to it that it deals "true damage". That'd make a nice counterpick for a counterpick.

Fuck it /vg/ I gotta vent my rage.

Had a bad time in both QM and HL today so I decided to try that new Unranked. Now, I'm far from claiming to be fucking great at this game. First MOBA and I'm merely Gold, BUT: I just got matched with 4 (FOUR) fucking Bronzies (among them a literal Bronze 5). I tried to remain optimistic, let them pick what they were comfortable with and played Uther. Then it began...

I have never seen such little understanding for the game. Despite telling them to soak until 10, which they all agreed to, they constantly left lanes open. At one point I was solo-pushing against a fucking Hammer while the 4 of them still didn't manage to fill the other 2 lanes. Constant dives, sheer amazement at how the enemy leveld faster and just as we stabilized around lvl 12 I told them "stay together now". Thrall still remains at the other end of the map, 4v5 no focus, we die. THEN Bronze 5 draws the most amazing conclusion: "We shouldn't teamfight, because then we all die."

I mean I knew that I'd start in a match like this since I've had no unranked MMR yet, but holy fuck Blizz: Rework your tutorial since these people are not even grasping the most basic concepts of the game.

IT'S NOT FAIR BLIZZARD! I WANT MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IN, NOT A MEME!!!!!

There a million heroes with higher priority mate, also, the silhouette looks way too similar to ETC. ALSO, he is a tauren, he will look generic no matter what.

So yeah, deal with it. Valeera will come first than him, AND Overwatch heroes will come before Valeera.

So yes, DEAL WITH IT.

>way too similar to ETC

Rehgar and Thrall are both orcs and look pretty different

Cairne should be bigger than ETC and with the totems in his back

Also the set of habilities would be totally different too

>Teammate wants me to 2v5 defend the core

For what purpose.

I've been playing a priest in wow recently and I really hope they add one to hots soon, it would be even better if it was a Shadow Priest and even much better if it was Troll / Undead.

I wouldn't even care if it was a donut steel character

A chance of le ebin plays and a comeback maybe, you're about to lose anyways so why not try it?

Well, according to hotslogs I'm plat QM and gold HL. Still, I get matched with people who can't lane for shit (had 2 more games now - same thing every time). There are people who literally state "hurr, just started - gettin dat HS cardback :)))))" on my team. I'm not mad at them, but why the fuck does Blizz fuck up matchmaking this much?
