A couple questions about earning gold:
I remember some meme about not completing the play 2 games as specific franchise heroes thing to try and get better quests. Or am I confusing that with hearthstone.
Also are stimpaks worth it?

The holding on the quest thing works. A thing for HS is you can reroll. You can't in HotS. I'm less-inclined to complete 200g quests. But if it's a 600 or 800, I'll do it ASAP.

That is if we're talking about WC3/HotS Jaina and not WoW/HS Jaina. If it the latter then kill it with fireand Orc dick.

>>151753497
>We need best fem dragon.
We already have Chromie. Too bad she's shit in-game though.
>>151753589
Chromie never turns into a real dragon though.
Onyxia might actually be small enough to actually work as a dragon in-game. If she's the size of a boss or gargantuan she'd still look okay.
Every other major dragon from WoW is just way too big for HotS and would look awkward if scaled down.

Is Illidan so broken right now?
Might I even be a decent player??I've started playing him right before the rework, but I can't believe this
>>151763259
every hero is good in certain places and teamcomps. But most importantly, the player. For example I play a mad Gazlowe despite him being one of the worst heroes.
tip; turrets a shit.
>>151763721
lol
Well, I only use Illidan in qm because I have a lot of fun with him, but I'm not confident enough for picking him in Hero League yet
>>151752549

With the exception of Nova, who doesn't quite do anything better than anyone given how she's been powercreeped the fuck out.
>>151763721
How many games have you lost in a row that you blamed the team for?
>>151764337
0
My winrate with him is 77.8% and some people have even complimented my Gaz. However there was one time in a 5 stack where this 1 faggot kept bitching about Gaz despite me having a great score and usually with the team and yet we had chronic feeders. Gaz is a huge retard magnet where people just blame him for everything.
However I am aware that other heroes tend to be better and may be better picks so I don't ever lash out. I just do my thing and communicate with teammates (assuming they're not freaking out)
>>151764245
I disagree. I play a fantastic Nova as well and her winrate for me is very high. And I hover between Master and Diamond so it isn't like I'm some silver stomper. But hey, people are wanting Nova and Gaz buffs, gimme gimme!

>>151763721

>>151770529
See >>151765231 for talents. Robo memeo is incredibly underrated and Grav-o-meme very overrated.
The level 20 talent for robo memes is godly. Many times a squishy chases me with a third of their life and I just turn around and slap them once to kill them. Hilarious every time.
I can not stress how shit turrets and (most) turret talents are. They can be okay sometimes in some objectives, but with robo gob, why bother?
Oh also robo gob (pre-20) DOES deal bonus damage to immortals. Everyone kept whining that I took it on immortals then "oh look, I deal a gorillion damage. Oh look, our immortal has assloads of life when spawned. Oh look, we're at their keep with immortal first wave."

>>151770889
I should've expanded on your question. Difficult to just say and that's it. You just have to play.
But early on at least, bombs to hit the entire minion wave and laser the enemy or zone the enemy with laser. You basically own Murky if he's in your lane. Hit over and over then when he bubbles, laser. Laser is good if you can prepare for it. Say a camp, you lay down turrets, bomb then laser, then just as the camps are out of stun, you release laser. Similar deal with upcoming fights or if you need to deal damage to something but needs to be safely (laser has good range)
Bomb can be used to zone, even though it's quite slow and delayed, everyone runs out of it ASAP. So you can use it to basically push people away if you don't care about the stun. But of course if they stay in it/get stuck, they'll get slapped for it.
Macro-management skills is important too. Knowing when to take camps, when to push and when to stay with team. And team of course is important, you need non-shitters. He has an interesting element for time. Meaning, it will always take your enemy to kill camps than it is for you to capture them.
>>151771318
No idea what the issue is. I'm using adblock on firememes and it's just fine.
>>151771525
I don't want you to do anything for me, I want Ben Barrett to stop being a little bitch about my adblock.
>>151770889
>The level 20 talent for robo memes is godly
He has like 840 dps compared to a full AA Butcher with 35 meat stacks and nexus blades which stands at 890 dps, and that's without abilities.
Shit's retarded but won't ever work versus people that know how hard hitting he is at 20+
>>151772515
That's just it. No one knows.

>>151770889
Not sure if its good to add, some of the turret latents are bugged and don't work properly.
>>151779796
engine gunk? that one was bugfixed in the auriel patch
>>151779796
Not even surprised. I've tried them occasionally and they're nearly always shit. The slow one is sometimes okay. But again, there's better out there. Funny since if you look at the numbers of the talents, they're shit. Turrets themselves are mediocre (easily the weakest of his skills) And yet the talents are bugged to not work? Amusing.

ok going all into bombs ty
Playing all lazer is great, but it just makes you wonder why you aren't just playing a Mage instead. Gazlowe is fantastic, it's just that he and a few others' kits have been powercreeped into a weird ass spot.
I too appreciate a good laugh once in a while, but telling bronzies that the turrets and their talents are shit is a bit cruel. All it does is unleash a new wave of shitty Gaz players into QM.

>use D whenever you have more than 25 essence and need to stay in a fight
but honestly playing Dehaka is a bit of an esoteric thing that can't be accurately described until you get a feel for it. on a surface level it's just attacking heroes, attacking minions and digging to whatever bush is closest to your next objective/gank but once you play him, you'll notice there's a bit of a method to it that I can't describe very well. you gotta be in the Zone, you know.

>>151785346
It was rough. It was my first "real" game as him and my ganks did fuck all and since my ganks did fuck all and it was hard to finish the job, I couldn't heal for shit.
Ah well.
>>151785104
>>151784665
>>151784587
Fair enough.
>>151786056
Like winning a game in just over 8 minutes as Arthas, 7 out of 12 kills and 0 deaths
I wish I knew an easy way to make .webms out of the game replay files
>>151786737
Arthas can be a crazy shitter stomper.
>>151786601
did you try ganking alone? because that usually doesn't work. try watching the minimap to see if one of your assassins or specialists is getting into a 1v1, ping them and then dig to them. that can help get kills. also your W lets you walk through people if you didn't know so you should use that.
Is there a viable damage build for Tyrael ?

>>151790714
I could see it blowing up again if they do some shit like Cho'Gall again.
>>151783982
Yeah. I feel as if the laser charge speed talent should be baseline. It's pretty sad without it. Let us charge the laser for longer, and have little bars/indicators on the charge bar to show us each level.

Also

ew?
What next, not filtering for only HL?
This general gets dumber by the day.
>>151792528
It was HL. Anyway, Master's only doesn't even have win percentages for Gazlowe. And in general, if a talent with a low pick rate has a high win rate, it is usually because they only pick it during games that they were gonna win anyway, so they are just fucking around.
Even if you accept the premise that the other talents aren't steaming piles of shit, you can't call turret talents bad when they clearly are picked more by the few Masters players who want to throw a HL game.

Visual Studio is worse than the BlueJay I have open? Christ, the fuck IDE do they use?
>>151792951
But Gazlowe is already situational. I dunno. I'm trash at Gaz, so I have no room to judge, but it seems dumb to tell people to avoid using the most popular picks.
It probably would be smart to try to look at a wide spread of games and the maps. I hear he's okay on Sky Temple.
>>151793924
That anon is on about their own personal experience. Are you even reading the comment chain, anon? They posted their own profile, kept talking in first person and always refer to themselves playing.
Granted, it is 4chan. You tend to be aggressive with your opinions. But he has stats to back it up. If it is working for him, then go for it. He has a good mmr and winrate as Gazlowe.
Oh and most popular =/= best. Step it up.
>>151794153
I'll admit, I was half-assing it. If stuff works for you, it works for you. I know if I played Gazlowe every game, my MMR would take from its already pitiful wood league.
Plus, now I'm on this whole, /g/ hates my computer thing, so I am lurking there to see if I can figure out what the fuck to do.
Should I buy BW Monarch?

I went from Bronze 3 to Plat 1. I can say withotu a doubt that ANY hero, no matter what some faggot says in regards to 'tier' can be a carry hero, If somebody knows a hero like the back of his hand, to the point that he doesnt even think about his actions yet walks away from the game with 0-2 deaths... he can carry the team regarless of role
>>151803235
>tfw almost never die more than once or twice a game, regardless of who wins

I love forced 50
What heroes are you indifferent about? The ones you don't like, but don't hate because it wouldn't be worth the effort.
>>151804156
Playing as, with or against?
>>151803648
Here's how I did it.
The next game you play, regardless of what team they're on, invite them to your party immiedately after. Make sure he communicated his pick and desires, and make sure he isnt russian or a spic. play several games with him.
next time you come online, if he isnt on to invite, do the same thing.
I almost never solo qued during this time, and I have a list of four guys I only ever play with. Great, competitve, non-toxi family men that play this in their spare time. Not once have I seen them pass blame on somebody for a loss. Which is rare because the last several weeks I'll go 5 or 6 games before losing.
>>151804156

>>151804156
azmo, falstad, butcher, tychus, uther, naz, vikings
i don't think of it as indifference so much as they are participation medal characters. show up and do the thing, yay team. dull, mostly limited so it feels like i just played this game, every game. they have some good tools but that doesn't make them fun to me. hard to hate anything for that.
Guys Nostromia made it to masters from bronze with a 78% winrate.
To all you that complain about your team mates, and other players. You can carry your self from the shitter.
You just gotta carry harder, make better plays, etc.

Get the heroes you like to play. Try heroes out on free rotation and get similar heroes. Also, I think you can try out most heroes (the first 30 that were released afaik) for free in training or vs AI matches.

Samuro was a random blademaster in WC3's orc campaign, Varian was King of Stormwind until a week ago.
>>151816973
Not TOO random, Samuro was also the Blademaster that did the bombing run on Alliance Arcane Towers for Rexxar in Rexxar's side-story.
>>151813001
Tanks
Joanna
Etc
And diablo
( muradin works instead of of diablo. Just diablo gets a lot of kills at lower mmr)
Specialists
Xul
Zagara
Sylvanas
( these guys can literally carry games through objectives. )
Stay away from the other specialists. They are either bad , or are generally hard as fuck for noob players to play correctly.
Supports
Rhegar
Brightwing
Lili does a lot of damage only reason to pick her. Bad at high mmr...well not bad but situational.
Malf or morales. Since people don't know how to play around morales at low mmr she's good.
Kharzim is really good but landing his palm is pretty hard sometimes.
Mage Assasins
Falstad
Li ming
Valla ( not amazing but she works fine. Neither amazing nor bad..)
Meele Assasins
Thrall
Sonya ( both of these characters can solo lane super well)
Stay away from harder hero's to play like illidan, kealthas , greymane. You'll just end up feeding if you are bad.
We'll until you feel more comfortable atleast.
Try two stick two comfort roles. And you'll do a lot better.
Don't try to be a jack of all trades.
I personally stick to these heroes
Sonya
Thrall
Leoric
Bw
Rehgar
Xul
Sylv.
Weirdly enough I always choose leoric as my tank now days. Since I know how to not feed, and he does a lot of damage if you always land your W's. That's just my weird comfort pick.
Don't even know how I have a 60% winrate with him.
>>151818090
Oh I forgot. I also play Anub'arak. Anub'arak is better than muradin at lower mmr. He has gnarly CC. Play him over muradin he's easier to carry games with.
Don't go cacoon though it's a trap. Unless you know how to make it work and when to use it to counter enemy team it's usually always worse than the other ult.

Read my post again. If you're literally that good at the game, no shit you're gonna rise to GM if you don't get repeatedly fucked over by throwers.
To everyone else, this is a team game and if one of the 5 people on that team isn't giving 100%, it falls apart.
>>151820014
Not necessarily, play the siege game then.
I've won many of games literally afking my team and playing the split push game with Xul , zag or naz.
Chances are the enemy team also doesn't have very good team work either.
No one does in hl. Maybe once your gm master and you just so happen to get paired with the other gms you know and play with.

Vol'jin what are you doing?
I AM DEHAKA
>>151827130
He says " I hear de spirits whisper a name... and it be yours, Sylvanas..."
So basically, "We just want to forget all about how we were building her up to be a villain and pander to her massive fan base for the brownie points, because God knows this shit doesn't make sense if you've been paying attention."
>>151827360
Eh..I doubt she will last long. She'll probably die or you'll have to kill her during the next expansion like they did with Garrosh.
>>151827527
>next expansion
>>151827564
Did I miss some important news about Legion being the final expansion?
>>151827604
no I just want WoW to die already
>>151827527
Doubtful, she'll play a big role, but she won't die. They killed two war chiefs back to back and gave it to a strong innapennant gurl who is a big fan favorite. Even I like Sylvanas, but really, they pulled a pandertastic move, and she's here to stay.
As much as I do like her, it doesn't make sense, and Vol'jin deserved better.
>>151827130
So shes retarded in WoW even though you kick ass with her in wc3 frozen throne?
>>151828502
She invaded Gilneas, got her ass licked by a bunch of furries, ignored Garrosh's order forbidding her to use the plague, used plague, still was losing to furries and needed Garrosh to bail her out.
She also managed to get overthrown during WotLK and needed Thrall to restore her back to power.
>>151828798

Thanks auto-correct.
It should be kicked not licked.
>>151828876
Oh no, it should be licked.

Can Valla be played as an ADC, or is she better as a hybrid caster/auto-attack hero? I haven't payed her in a while so I think I'm gonna be a shitter for a bit.
>>151843117
I'm hyped for his kit, for what we know looks very interesting
And "Taunt" can be meta changing imo
>>151775885

Use her when you know a bit more about positioning
Falstad has better survability and scapes, so he's a bit more noobfriendly
>>151845694
As I commented it may sound a bit weird, I'm of course not telling Falstad is a specialist

Tauforces the enemy heroes to attack him (or maybe just one)
Being a tank forcing the enemy to 100% focus you can be sweet, you can actually ignore Johanna, but the guy with taunt not
Maybe I got the concept wrong tho
>>151846561
Well if you're a shitter, of course you can ignore the best tank in the game crowd controlling your entire team. Anything's possible if you're a shitter.
Why are people afraid of winning ?
A lot of time, we destroyed one keep, our creeps are going to their core and there's 2 death in the other side. Yet, people will not try to destroy the core or anything.
Same story with cursed hollow. I just had a game where we could destroy their first fort + keep during a curse. I destroyed the first fort, the towers and gates and put the keep half life ALONE.
Why are people afraid of pushing and winning ?
>>151846754
Of course here all is reduced to being a shitter
>>151844812
Awe I forgot jaina in this post >>151818090
Jaina is good and easy to play.
Mage's aren't my play style.
I do play that Falstad when I can though
I didn't mention uther on purpose. It's just when I ever I play with my low mmr friend and I see people play uther. It's just so bad, maybe I've just had some bad experiences with people always fucking up his ult.
At higher mmrs he's great though and my personal favorite healer.
>>151846892
because they suck

you could say we were memeing pretty hard that day

and yet noobs are just feeding the team with her..
>>151846892
I play a match where this happens at least once every day, and i still have no idea

I suppose they just don't want to end the game
>>151846508
Well I'm not wrong so fuck off
If Baal or Mephisto get addedwhich they should have long agothen you can call me wrong.
Christsake they actually put Azmodan, the greatest demonic failure, in before the actual prime evils.

What you want is CC that requires no skill to use. Press W at an enemy and have them walk towards you congrats you got a kill YAY GJ. Such fun.
>>151847104
Mephisto is on Axolotl's leak list m8. And why wouldn't they use Diablo's D3 form if they hate D2 so much? It was in the trailer. It's in the most recent game. People know it. OH WAIT they didn't because believe it or not, Blizzard doesn't "hate" D2 and you're a dumbass wearing a tinfoil hat.
>>151846168
Thanks for nothing, bud.JK you made me chuckle.
>>151847097
Well, I do what's logical so I start to go, ping and write "push, take the keep, core" everything so they understand. They don't come, so if I got a specialist I still go, take down a fort or push the core and win.
tl;dr on what they say then : play with the team, feeder, you're just bad, BOSS IS BETTER, too riskey, safe = win (actually safe != win, since that give the other team an opportunity to come back)
>>151846358
Xul is literally the D2 Necromancer senpai.

>>151846561

Okay, that is a moba, you have to adapt the characters, and skills, but that was a complete failure when you compare him to valla, diablo, naziboo or azmodan.
>>151848281
Oh yeah, I forgot they started to remove old accounts, stop adding content and it have less gamers than D2 now.

And what ? So just making the character saying that gives him the ability to use a fucking scythe with one hand, carry two weapons at the same time and have unrelated skills ?
That have to be the most retarded justification.

He does though. He looks like the necro from the D2 hero select screen only with slight alterations to his look like the scythe, gauntlets and being more buff.

Is there a general tier-list (>tier-list) for supports in high-level play (Master)? I have most supports are 8-10 but some are only level 6, namely Uther and Malf.

Dev on REDDIT just confirmed dual ultimates at lvl 20 on next big patch:
https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/4xvzki/what_if_you_could_pick_the_2nd_heroic_at_level_20/
Can't wait for Gamescom.
How much will the meta change after this? What hero combos will wreck team fights now?
>>151893904
It's most likely a new hero with this ability, so it will be balanced and not as cool.
Even with my best Lunara games feel like I am feeding a fuckton.

wouldn't be until after blizzcon if they were blowing things up like that. that would be like re-releasing the game. which they should do so they won't.
>>151895439
it would be largely the same. many heroics are plain unavoidable.

Wouldn't Lunara be ridiculous actually? Basically 5 abilities.

psst... i never liked cover bands, kid
>>151895439
I'd like to think this would make Nova and Gazlowe much better, but then again, this same change is affecting every other hero as well, so it's pretty much the same thing.
Why is it that I literally didn't see one warriors in the 4 games I've played today, but the queue times for every character are about the same (100s)?

she is a mulatto if u check wiki page for her fathers name and then just google her and her father u will see the negress mom
>>151931714
>ORKS
confirmed
So I finally got Auriel to level 9 and after playing her my biggest gripe is energy generation at objectives. Even crowning a good target putting out optimal DPS and you doing the same at say the north or south terror on Garden of Terror for seeds you can barely break even healing the hero tanking it's hits, the regen orbs are a bigger boon of healing.
The same can be said on other objective maps such as immortals. Camps provide a similar problem. It leaves you feeling like your team is excessively vulnerable compared to all other supports in these scenarios.
>>151931714
how can so much hair grow out of a head shaped like that?
>>151928660
I knew she sounded familiar.
>>151932370
only nonwhites will understand
I don't know wich one to use more, if Tyrael or Sonya
I like the damage output of her, but Tyrael's mobility is really good too
>mfw playing Azmo
>mfw slinging globes to all lanes, pushing all of them
>mfw seeing the enemy scatter in terror after I hit three with them with a globe
>mfw seeing their futile efforts to push their lanes back, while I keep pushing them in from afar
>meanwhile my team does God's work as a 4-man gank sqaud
Azmodan is truly the comfiest hero. Especially when the rest of your team aren't retard magnets.

and yet, apart from Sanctification you rarely notice the impact these things have. if you don't want that recognition anyway and just like winning a lot, play Tyrael.

I think Heroes of the Storm has a place, even with all the mobas that have come and gone.
It's casualized Dota, same as League and many others. But unlike League, Heroes of the Storm has a few advantages:
-Shorter match time
-Fully embraces its casualized status with party-game-esque gameplay
-More willing to do weirder things with their hero designs (see: Abathur, Cho'Gall), even if it's just for the sake of a gimmick
To contrast, League is a streamlined Dota but still attempts to wear the trappings of depth. The game is shallow, yet still stretches itself thin with long match times and meticulous pace, making it a chore. League is also much more cookie-cutter with its ability designs.

>>151951574
Yeah, but Alarak wasn't even on his list of heroes being worked on at some point. Also he had Hand of Gul'dan as a talent/ability which isn't in the game either.
While he was right to some degree it looks like his information must've been somewhat out-dated when he posted it.
Honestly it's kinda nice that we're getting Zarya and Alarak. It's more exciting when you see new stuff rather than things you knew would be coming in advance.
hey fags, didnt play forever. question about thrall lane vs new zagara
is it normal that i lose lane to her now? i run out of mana and she just keeps pushing and auto attacking my fking towers, cant do shit because fountain cd too big now. also what did they buff for her now that she can outlane thrall?

The fun part is that she got nerfed since Beta, it's just that people learned how to use her now.
>>151958569
No that's not normal, thrall is one of the few that should beat Zagara. Use your E to kill her hydra, use your q to poke her and run at her and use your W and fuck her up when hydra is on cooldown. Don't let her auto attack you for free
Alarak looks so lame. He's basically an exact copy of Artanis. What the fuck, Blizzard?

Capture the beacons and watch what happens when a flood of weaponized Zerg ravages the battlefield.

>>151961089
remember the Eternal Conflict event when they announced just The Butcher and Leoric?
then, in the middle of the event, they announced Kharazim
I expect something similar to happen with this event
>>151963752
Samuro please and thank you.
>>151963138
>>151962837
Can you imagine being these primitives that pull a darth vader and call magic the strongest thing in the universe. Then they suddenly get the Hiroshima surprise on their heads?
>>151963901
>Space Samuro
yisss
>>151963752
Started only after Butcher was released so I thought they announced all four with the trailer where Johanna and Kharazim fight against Butcher and Leoric.
Would be cool if they announce some more heroes midway through the event.
>>151963901
Would make sense seeing how they have concepts for space ninja Samuro from back when everything was scifi themed.

I mean
ok I guess
Would have preferred Zenyatta or Junkrat, they could be awesome HoTS characters. Pharah too.
>>151967981
Burning blade banner, Samuro confirmed for next Heroes after Zarya!
Alarak has no mana. Wonder what that red bar over HP is for. Some kind of increasing damage? Maybe something for his E that looks boring as shit otherwise. Or some kind of self-heal?
>>151967981
Fucking nice!
>>151951520
i legit would spend money on this game to get zarya and this skin on day one
should i?
>>151962563
I said his NON-ults don't do anything
The ults are the only abilities that feel like they have an impact
>>151967981
What about that hammer?
>>151969696
probably, the pack doesn't seem to have a mount included so it will be cheaper
Regen Globe generators, like on Lost Cavern (ARAM map)
>>151970074

If her ult is anything like OW she will be perma banned lmao
>>151970084

Could be a hint.
But that hammer doesn't ring any bells for me.
>>151970115

>>151970608
Or Muradin
>>151970608
Too small do be Doomhammer, maybe it's Mura's.
Did they mention anything about double ults?
>>151970638
They ruined it with the scrap parts.
>>151970873
why would that be a thing?
>>151970638
No lvl one ult on Zarya? I had hoped that was an ongoing thing for OW heroes.
>>151971701
So are all the minions on these maps going to be ranged?
>>151971794
Zergs are melee
>>151971356
4 U
>>151970271
nice catch! I missed that
>>151971794
The marauders will probably just punch each other
>>151970873
Maybe Zarya gets both her ults?
>>151970873
There will be no double ults. That Blizz guy comment was about Li-Ming already being able to "get" both of her ults with Archon.
>>151972121
YEAH I GOT ALL FIVE FINGERS TWO ON THIS HAND THREE ON THE OTHER!
>Zarya and Alarak
Guess I don't have anything to look forward to for awhile. The maps look great but couldn't we have gotten Mengsk and say... any other fucking overwatch hero? 76? Zenyatta? Street pig? Reinhardt? Anyone.
>>151968969
nothing there hints at Mengsk?
>>151971496
I see this as an area root
I mean, if it's a stun is a direct upgrade of pogo, it would make no sense
>>151972836
>76
Raynor skin
>Street pig
Stitches skin
Zarya was pretty much a given for the next Overwatch hero. Strong pink-haired woman? I've expected her to be revealed at Blizzcon though.
But I too would've loved Mengsk to come out in Starcraft event.
>>151972836
if Zarya is a support I am more than happy seeing her in before anyone you listed.
Game needs more supports. I hope Alarak is a warrior as well.
I think we'll see Varian and Samuro and another Diablo hero before November.
Then Blizzcon will be all kinds of bombs, probably an OW character, a Retro character, and some big 3 franchise character.
>>151972836
>not wanting a zealot that is actually good (hopefully)
>>151973095
>pogo
>>151972836
I'm actually hyped for Zarya
Her abilities look pretty interesting, and she will be the first "ranged" tank
>>151973226
...anon
Zarya is a ranged warrior, Alarak is melee assassin.
>>151973226
Pretty sure Zarya is a warrior
Atarak is an assassin
>>151970873
The dev who designed li-ming commented on the "double ults" reddit post because li-ming can have access to both ults at 20 if she takes WoF + archon form
>>151973226
BLIZZCON IS GOING TO BE SUPERMAN.
FUCKING SUPERMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANN
>>151970835
neat.
Does this mean no legion event?
>>151974631
No legion event. Sorry.
What do you guys think of raynor + thrall as assassins when you have in front of you anub, stiches, li ming, zag and rehgar ?
We lost and I feel that's because our two assassins couldn't do anything during the game. Thought ?
>>151976743
>What do you guys think of raynor + thrall as assassins
Shit, they cannot dive into the backline in that comp and you need someone to go into the backline to support anub otherwise he gets focused down. You need a greymane, illidan or sonya.
>>151968969
That a Firebat hero there behind Uther?
I see Towers of Doom is still in the map rotation and just as snowbally as ever
This game is an absolute fucking joke lmao
>>151977198
It's a maraauder. Not a hero
Are Alarak's skills released? So fucking hype for new and BASED Protoss.
Don't give a shit about most Overmeme trash, especially musclefreak.

>>151977489
In the reveal trailer they showed his abilities.
His Q is a short range silence. Looks like a small aoe.
He has a telekinesis move that can either pull enemies to himself or move himself.
>>151977454
Volatile is the word you're looking for, anyone can make an advantage into large core damage and that makes comebacks very easy but also the leading team will just keep getting more damage.
>>151977965
Fuck yeah. Reminds me of a Protoss-like Spectre.
Does the Q knockback? In SC2 it knocks back.
So leaker bro was right about everything again huh
>>151978043
No, it just damages and silences. Silence on a basic ability is p good though.
>>151977489
Q short range forward stab
W Kerri pull
E sith lightning
R1 charge
R2 deflect
There's a video with all of them somewhere. I'm pretty hype, he looks like a sith Lord.
>>151978105
>silence
Even better personally. So hype. I love me Protoss and I'm surprised Alarak to be released, and so soon.
>>151978184

Very original indeed. Probably an insta-buy on 10k for me.

How accurate are the talent choices for Meme'dan on Hotdogs? That is, the most used. Some of the most used talents look questionable. I want to lessen the burden of picking Meme'dan on my team as much as I can, while actually having to play him.

>>151979356
Kassadin isn't a Mindflayer.
>>151978184
W is actually better than Kerri pull because he can have it push in any direction, think vector targeting like Rumble's ult from LoL. Look at when he pushes someone into ETC's mosh in the video.
>>151979559
I haven't played SC2, so I'm hearing this guy's voice for the first time today.
Holy fuck is his voice SO fucking good. It really stood out to me in the Machines of War trailer.

>>151977454
Skytemple and TREASURE FOR EVERYONE are the snowbally maps. There's no way to recover from the damage if you lose the objectives outside from taking Robo-fixer-upper and the enemy team controls the field. Least with other maps there's a chance to recover or take control.
Also sucks in blackheart's bay that at a certain point in the game, one successful turn in will single-handedly win the game/kill from full shields and health. I'm the crowd that doesn't mind longer games because both teams are playing equally good (or bad), although from I know with DOTA/LOL, games last long because of Meta-shit.
I'm going for the Tobysteel!
From how it looks, the core for the starcraft maps are based on the palace turrets in the last mission of Heart of the Swarm.

Probably on a way longer cooldown, though. Force wall is great.
>>151970084
Shit misread. But your wrong man. Lol his speedboost and small shields are insane in team fights.
There's a reason he sees a lot of competitive play.
Sure he doesn't anything by himself. Sorta like tass. But with a team he's a monster.
But in lower ranks tyreal is pretty garbage .
Probably why you don't like him
>>151984230
>>151984057
Yeah I see more like Li-Ming ult but repeats during some time
But the black whole can be amazing, an area root that attracts the enemy into it
>>151984614

ARE YOU HAPPY?!

>>151984746
I hope, that would be sick
Jaina and KT would be good too
But not as good
>>151985467
It's funny.
I never even knew Alarak existed until I saw the trailer but I already know I'm gonna buy him as soon as he drops to 10k.
On the other hand, I played Zarya in Overwatch but I have absolutely no interest in her as a MOBA hero.
>>151984746
more like a chromie nerf/rework
jaina+gaz has been there forever but it sucks because of the range/death timer risk. those two wouldn't have nearly the same problem.
>>151982693
Remember when we only got Leoric and Butcher during Eternal Conflict? Remember how Johanna and Kharazim don't exist?

OP or not? Health pool similar to Anub
>>151987593
yeah I mean, it's a cool idea and you put some thought on it but
It's literally never going to happen
>are you ready to word vomit over a dead game?
>>151987760
Why not?
Blizzard's 2 DC Comics games (one being the Death and Return of Superman) were some of the better SNES DC games.
What classes are Alarak and Zarya? Both Assassin? I can see Alarak being anything non-support.
>>151987760
Seems the trend these days to have at least 1 "guest character or "third party."
and Superman does actually have some merit to be included.
>>151988412
Talking seriously, he would feel pretty random, he isn't from any of the blizzard universes
On the bright side, I suppose they still have rights to use him in theyr games, so there would be no legal issues, probably
>>151988421
zarya is a warrior
>>151988668

about time
Hell, that's what Tychus should've been, really.
>>151988534
I didn't know that
then it might happen, who knows
>>151988619
Everything feels random in the game already, and it would probably only work if Supes was the only guest character.
Game does need more retro characters than TLV.

Also the content of the general is irrelevant when it's about another game. It can be on fucking hentai games general and it doesn't discredit it.

>ow
>highly successful
I am hype as fuck. Those maps look amazing as opposed to the last map we got which was 100% recycled assets.
Also, I've always said Zarya's kit was one of the only OW kits that actually translated well, so I am pleased to see her.
>>151988619
Why would they STILL have the rights to use him?
I'm almost 100% sure that is not how it works.
>>151994038
i don't like OW but the game has like 11-12 million players which times 40 dollars (barring the fact that console players have to pay 60 bucks), and you've already got 440 million in the bank

new thread when
>>151994392
why are you not addressing the fact that the game's already grossed roughly half a billion dollars and instead going straight over to some false equivalence to LoL
>>151994493
Misha looks neat but Rexxar is fucking terrible. What the fuck? The concept is cool (mecha) but damn this execution is mediocre at best.
>>151994331
blizzard never released sales numbers though
>>151994527
the initial point was discussing whether OW could be considered highly successful or not, and i'm fairly certain that as soon as a game has gained that much money and has great reviews (which are probably paid off, still) that it can be considered highly successful
plus the fact that the game's so barebones means that most of the game's budget went into marketing and they've probably made that back by now
So Ms.Butch and Mr.Tal'darim are both warriors?
>>151994803
gee
i fucking wonder how the total amount of players playing the game globally is not equivalent to how much it's grossed when the game's not even piratable
>>151995061
>devs being even remotely faithful with their stats
OWfags aren't even trying anymore.
>>151995061
I wonder how many of those "players" are koreans who get the game for free, especially with overwatch just so randomly happening to be the most popular game in korea, having surpassed lol
I also wonder how many of those are free beta players. Players does not equal sales. End of story.
>>151995061
There's also 15 million copies sold, but i guess 5 mil of those are hackers that are buyin new accounts
