Absolutely ass blasted.
I usually get the most post-game rage whispers when I play Xul and get that double lane soak push going on first objective spawn. Then it's an easy ride with an XP advantage the rest of the game unless your team makes a dumb engage.

People think the stationary spell spazz talents are good instead of building affliction or destruction and using W to keep your taps rolling.

Makes me laff everytime tbqh

>>150508597
>>150507973
I always take the talents for my Q and only one W talent at 13 because I only ever use W to fill me back up after mana tapping. It's odd that this isn't what most people do.

>>150505534
this is pretty fucking hilarious

you just shoulda whispered back "you know you're a shit nova when you lose"

>>150508713
I take healthstone at 13 desu, you can still heal with your W and the healthstone comes in handy.

When did Blizzard change poking of heroes?
Heroes used to reply a lot quicker if you clicked on them. Now you have to double click them a couple of times before they say anything.
Not like it's anything that affect gameplay but it kinda sucks that listening to their funny lines is now hampered somehow.

Seriously, all you have is Drain Life, which is actually really good, but if the enemy team decides to go straight for you, you better hope your teammates have some CC to stop them.

>>150580396
you can say that of just about every assassin though

>>150580534

But yeah, you usually pick him against big meaty tanks, he can still be built to do great single target damage with overkill, but that is harder, and other heroes cover that part way better

>>150599548

Tell him to stop being bad. Babies that suck at games need to stop having shit sugarcoated for them.

>>150599548
Just play with him on your alt account. That's what I did, I have an alt account just to play with my friend, it helps you to stop caring about winning or losing.

When is Tyrande a bad pick? Sometimes she's amazingly useful, other times she feels borderline worthless despite having a good score/stats with her. Or is she never supposed to be great/shine since she's quite a "fill in the gaps" hero?

btw she's best waifu at least.

>>150597639
Baine when?

I'm honestly not sure why this isn't popular. The only reason I stopped playing it was because my.internet was shit. I feel like league is just the middle child that doesn't belong but has been grandfathered into its position. DotA I can understand but league? I mean what the fuck is the point if masteries and runes. Items also have very limited difference from talents in league except for the fact that you can sell them. It's not like you can drop them for allies.

And if you are going to remove denying to casualize your version why not go all the way and remove last hitting too. I guess about the only thing I miss from league is jungle.

>>150601117
Yeah I more-or-less agree. I tried LoL again after quitting it for over a couple years. Very quickly got sick of it, ended up playing some ARAM but quickly got bored of it since people keep dodging over and over until they get a good team.

>>150601062
She's pretty much always good as long as you are good with her. She is pretty tough to get good with though so a lot of people will seem worthless with her.

I would say though probably when you wouldn't want to pick her as a solo support if they have a lot of poke damage and you don't have people who can dive to follow up her stuns. Her kit is just really solid to fit in any comp, she can pretty much always be a good pick though.

It's not like I'm playing Anub or Tyrande bad. It just doesn't feel like I'm doing as much. Or maybe I just can't rely on teams in the lower tiers to actually capitalize on their strengths and that's the only reason my Kael winrate is so high.

>>150602716
It's almost as if Kael is a fucking near free-win sack of shit that affected HotS for the worse from day one.

every match was just "hey, pick this one hero that got buffed to shit last patch, and pick another hero that got buffed to shit last patch or got a rework; also don't forget to pick invoker!"

it was especially tiring for someone like me who preferred niche heroes like terrorblade

>>150609719
I like the shorter games, responsive gameplay, heroes designs, different maps and objective focused teamfights this game has to offer.

I wish Chromie was good. Or at least consistent. She's so shit with most heroes and against most heroes. And on most maps.

Why must our shortstack be so bad.

>>150611354

>>150609719
I fundamentally despise the archaic item economy prevalent in MOBA design. Everything about last-hitting, denial, and having to break from a fight to purchase gear (no, couriers do not fix this bullshit) puts me off intensely. The only reason I even tried HotS was because I heard it didn't have that. And talents are so much fucking better than that trash in execution, it's baffling.

>>150611967
Especially the items in LoL. They're so bland and samey. Also boring.

You realize that this is the worst shit ever that eliminates any freedom you have?

I bet you don't, because you are so dumb and bad.

Objective slavery removes any chance to create a different strategy and it makes your whole "different maps" completely useless and irrelevant since all hots maps combined have less options, freedom and variability than a single dota map, L O L

>>150613153
and since when has ranked climb ever adhered to the avant-garde comps and heroes people at the TI level use? in ranked, people are going to use what's most popular/strongest in the meta, and that much is going to remain a constant until you perhaps get to a level where people are skilled enough to use quirky heroes to their full effectiveness

though if you'd really like to know why i quit, it was because i was constantly getting teamed up with ESL cretins that have no capacity for empathy or civil discourse, i personally enjoy each and every facet of dota 2's gameplay and would likely continue to clock in more hours if not for the stifling environment propagated by peruvians, russians and other such ilk

she's not bad, her talents are great and she shits out damage; she's UNRELIABLE

i played her for a week straight last week and bought her instantly when the week ended, and i think i've won 3 of 8 matches with her because if the enemy knows you're on the other side (read: they saw you on the login screen or on the other end of the lane) they're gonna be on evasive action the whole match, so unless you have a teammate with reliable CC or a shitton of luck you're not gonna hit shit with her

she's a tabletop RPG monster in the sense that she can obliterate shit in seconds but must first pass two or three dice checks to see if it hits the enemy or not

I don't know what the term is, but I hate how in the (current) state of the game, certain builds and sets are required to even begin doing damage to enemies in end game, even in beginning torments. I think they even use a term for the builds that aren't those... think they're called zero damage builds or something?

I mean even as the various tanks in D2, I could wittle away at bosses and enemies and so on. Can't even do that in D3.

>>150622636
don't go above torment 1 without your welfare ancient set and you won't run into that ordeal

Grim Dawn is a lot of fun. It's a bit janky with the armor designs and animations (made by 4 people) but the skill system is top notch. It's made by a few of the people who made Titan Quest, and it copies that really good skill system. Definitely worth playing.

Played a game on towers of doom last night and it had me thinking. I'd like some lore on the map masters, The Raven Lord, Spider Queen, Blackheart. All of them. Why are the grave keeper and Raven Lord warring? He said he didn't want to go back to the mines, but how'd he escape? I just think there could be some interesting stuff there.

nice counterargument boyo

objective facts such as utility can't be pinpointed by looking up at a % taken from a huge pool of players, specially since it merges in the same thing stuff like maps where she doesn't really work, "whatever" comps, free weeks, wrong builds, etc

hotslogs and other sites' % winrate doesn't tell you much because it's far too tampered by the playerbase to withdraw a cohesive conclusion, specially since chromie isn't the easiest hero to play while she's still available to the general public

think about it this way: if everyone was allowed to perform brain surgery even if they weren't brain surgeons, the mortality rate of these brain surgeries would go up in a whim - in comes your ass and say "holy shit brain surgery is bad and doesn't work" by looking at a percentage taken out of brainslogs.com or some shit like that

do you understand where i'm coming from? there's far too many variables in the outcome of matches to say whether something is bad or not based on winrate %

Probably soon.
We need a WoW priest, a female dwarf and axolotl mentioned her.

>>150646345
That fem demon hunter is a cute!

>>150646345
Anybody else can't take Illidan saying "not prepared" seriously?
At this point it's just cringe worthy.

So what's his master plan?

>>150649732
To crash WoW With no survivors.

>>150646345
since they are at it they should bring Garithos back

What about garden of terror?

>>150652406
i only listed maps with 2 lane rotation meta in which xul in #1. garden is too large for an effective rotation.

What characters from overwatch do you think have a chance to show up as standalone characters?

What others do you think would make neat skins for existing heroes?


I really want Mei and Zarya to be in the game, they're pretty neat.

A soldier 76 raynor could be good as well.

>>150651414
Chromie is a CUTE!

>not choosing "treehead woodfist"

I agree with Rakanishu though.

does AFK leveling still work?

>>150597668

Really strong frontliner, can deal assassin level damage. She's all sustain and no burst. Build talents for sustain not dps. She's not a good solo tank, you always want her with another warrior. Strong pve, can solo boss if built for it can do it with one more person if you dodge the bosses abilities.

Spear is her main engage sans leap and her primary rage generation. You have to hit this skillshot. You're useless for 13 seconds if you miss it.

Her main sustain ability is whirlwind. Its cancelled by stuns so you have to learn to time your whirlwinds when the opponents stuns are down. If they don't have cc Sonya can be nigh unkillable.

Does "Bye bye!" EVER work?

>>150658539
Sounds good.
Any specific builds I should be aware of?
Or are they all situational?

>>150657943
No
>>150658925
It works in bronze/silver

>>150659214
well, at least it's better than stasis

How am I supposed to fend off zeratul, illidan and the like as a squishy ranged assasssin with no CC?

>>150660534
Pray to your tank, pray to your healer, or surrender your boipussy

>>150659075

Not that guy but...

L4 Focused Attack increases basic attack damage which gives you a semblance of "burst" from Slam + Basic when you engage with Spear.

L7 Ferocious Healing is practically usable on cooldown (like ETC's heal).

L13 Mystical Spear makes your spear bring you to target location regardless if anyone is hit. Pretty essential escape tool, as well as gives you some margin for error on the skill shot if you're using to engage.

Other than that most suggestions are to take the talents for survivability. Since her kit is already so good it's about staying up in order to use them all. L1 War Paint (heal on attack). L16 Nerves of Steel (activate). L20 Ignore Pain (activate). Both of her Ults are viable but Wrath of the Berserker is what you'll take more often. Leap is more situational.

How long does it take to roll out fucking arena and a few solo missions? You already take a year to fucking color your shitty ranks as bronze/silver/gold/plat/diamond and keep the same shitty MM in place. Fuck you, you balding, neckbeard, fatfuck cucklord.

>>150663806
We would be working a lot faster if anyone actually cared about this game... making extra content means someone has to do it on their own time without pay... we're not gonna pay someone to do shit that isn't generating a profit during their work hours... sorry kid that's just the way the world works ;(

>>150664069
Maybe people would have cared if you actually advertised this shit. I literally only found out about HotS due to crossgame promotions. Overwatch on the other hand was marketed to people even Blizzard fans would call normies.

>>150664667
You know... advertising is more work... work that needs to be done by someone on their own time without pay... because we can't risk pouring funds into a game that isn't generating a profit... we need our employees to use their paid work hours to work on projects that are making us money... not our choice in the end.

>>150665003
"We don't want HotS to succeed or be fun. And you don't want that either. You think you do, but you don't."

>>150665293
We can't divide our funds into a game that we know is successful and one that could potentially be successful but isn't... when keeping them focussed on the game that we know is successful is more profitable and reliable... be thankful we're letting our teams tinker with HotS on their own time... server costs are low enough to not shut it down yet... please understand :/
