you're not in any position to declare that his statement was redundant
what if valla's his favorite hero and he wanted to break the illusion that she's somehow trash after getting nerfed; what is he supposed to do?
say "well no i play her a lot and she's not trash after getting nerfed i swear" or say "well no she's not trash because she still gets played a shit-ton in pro games"

Clear lane, move, clear, move is how you best play xul. If you can't do that as xul he'll just be average. Banning him on maps where he can't play like that is fucking retarded

>>154887093
>>154887167
I think that when blizzard creates a character, they come up with a couple of interactions they could have and record some lines just in case, and then later on decide if they want to add that character.
Is there any character that was hunted in a text line that was later added to the game?

I guess. Surfboard mounts always seemed a bit dumb, since most of them are just plain objects, but I'll mess around with it.

Thoughts on Medivh? He seems fun and has a lot of utility but not any damage
>>
>>154894752
He's a force multiplier who does nothing on his own but can turn a party member into a nigh-invincible death machine. I feel he's basically Lt. Morales without the healing and generally unworthy of usage.
Great for QM when you get all assassin/specialist games and you act as the "support" though.
>>
>>154894752
Shits up QM and throws games way off balance more than they already likely are.
>>
>>154894752
A good Medivh is one of the most annoying characters to face in the game. Constant harass, especially after he completes Masters Touch.

A bad Medivh and the game is 4v5.

I played against a Medivh as Chromie and couldn't feel more useless.

>>
>>154904186
Most of the outcry happened before the new pose was revealed. People got upset since it seemed like another case of devs catering to SJWs.
Luckily Blizzard are ebin memers and replaced one lewd pose with another lewd pose.
>>
>>154904743
I remember how sad it was, Blizzard seemingly catering to some fucking dad whose complaint was "Tracer shouldn't stand like this because I ahve a little girl who loves Overwatch and I don't want her to see stuff like that (Her ass) and think it's okay.", but nope, replaced it with an actual pin-up model pose.

I have the suspicion that that most of the "players" that get disconnected early in the match are actually bots programmed to display a randomly generated name until they "disconnect", purely meant for bolstering the player base to make it seem less dead. The game literally doesnt have enough players anymore to fill drafts so they resort to putting in bots.

As you know, this year is the 20th diablo anniversary.
We already know that blizzard is preparing a big thing for it.
wow will receive various items from D2 (charms, soj, horadric cube), but what about hots ?
From a Q/A on reddit they said we will have a new character, very special, like the vikings, abathur, cho gall or murky.
If you look at Diablo characters, there isn't a lot of them that could be "special".
There isn't any playable character, archangel or demon that can be "special" (belial could be this special hero, but I don't think so since he isn't that important in the lore)

What do we have left ? npc.
Which one is the most emblematic character of Diablo ? Cain, that was found in the data mining + on the list of Axolotl.

>>154915513
It's going to be Aidan.
Or maybe the three heroes from D1 as a single hero where you flip through Aidan, rogue and the wizard by hitting your D. All three have different kits and classes.
>>
>>154915517

Tell me about it. I've had about a dozen games since this event started and only two of them were Braxis Holdout.
>>
>>154916075
nope, it could be an actual hero, he isn't weak and his abilities are quite normal.

>>154916295
>Prince Aiden.
Leoric only had one child. Aiden was invented by the D3 scenarists for some unknown reason.
The heroes of D1 are all in D2. The mage went crazy, found the arcane sanctuary and acted like he was Horazon (he is the summoner in D2), the rogue was corrupted (she's blood raven in D2) and the warrior is the one who killed Diablo and put the soul stone on his skull and is the dark wanderer that we are chasing in D2.
I don't think he will be added.

Axolotl's leak mentioned "a fifth hero type, currently unknown at this time." What could they possibly add to shake up the Warrior/Assassin/Support/Specialist structure?

I was thinking something like Aba but worse.
Stuff like Selendis or Izhaa which isn't on the battlefield but provides minions/buffs/whatever to their team.

Probably nothing big, just splitting specialist into two more specific roles.

The only thing that'd make sense is splitting healers and overall supports. But I think that the idea only crossed the office once or twice because of Medivh and then got scrapped. We'll stay with only 4 classes forever.

Only realistic option would be specialists. Split them into niche/unique and siege.

Not varied enough. It's like "tank" and "bruiser" still close enough. Warrior and Assassin as is are fine. Same with supports. Ergo; >>154922971

How does the MVP system work?
I think it's score based. Getting the highest in something yields a large amount of points, dying subtracts a big amount and so forth. So since minions (aka. Siege Damage) and XP are inextricably intertwined, specialists are a lot more prone to getting the MVP status at the end of a game? Does that make sense?

If it were ever a "Reddit meme" it's long gone, as I've never once seen anybydoy say that on Reddit. At this point it's just 4chan spouting a meme out of a false sense of superiority, which in turn is just flat out meme spouting, as nobody else even cares anymore if they even did.

I really like it, but its kinda "hard" to get

I mean, you need to build it up, and then commit to kill somehting with it.
The big pro is that you can melt pretty much any hero with it. An assasin? It lasts mere seconds
A tank? You can also destroy it.
The cons is to be able to keep hitting your target while the ability is activated.

Also, it benefits nicely from Hunter's Onslaught and greatly from Thirsting Blade.
You can make a good auto-attack build getting Unending hatred at level 1.
If you did ant then took Thirsting Blade, you will be easily healing 300-400 hp with every auto-attack.

Is a fun and competitive talent over all.

Also sorry if this message is a bit badly structurated and hard to understand, I'm a bit drunk right now lol. Good luck with yelling at people how prepared they are, lad

Yeah 100% it does, but also counts as auto attack.

Or at least last patch did
They could consider it counting for both auto attack and hability a bug

It works like Thrall's E, which also counts towards his passive despite being an auto attack buff. If they "fix" it for Illidan, they would have to do it for Thrall too.

it's pretty fun but you and your friend will be stuck playing ftp heroes for like 2 years

Fun for what is does but definitely simplified. No last hitting or micomanaging inventory space, couriers, and crap.
>>
>>154970748
>casual
I prefer to call it streamlined. There's less complexities but ultimately plenty of deep strategy.
>FUN?
I despise LoL and DotA as a general rule, but adore HotS. The economy systems in particular are what put me off. I find it atrocious having to break away from a fight to improve myself then slowly waddle back to the fight.

Looking over this thread and the game's website, I think I'll give it a shot.

So you buy more heroes with in game currency?
How long does it take to farm one?

I might be spoiled from dota where they are all available for free..

>Play all the heroes on free rotation and see what types you like. Don't buy heroes just to get into ranked. It's not worth it.

Map-wide presence with his Z ability, he has a dash (lolmobility, so much skill involved!!!!), can burst well, an ult that he can use as a means of blowing the enemy team into his own, or blowing them away from his own or himself in case his pussy roll isn't enough to save him. He's just good.

Thats not a half bad idea actually. Have it like the promote thing that powers up a minion but instead it would give em a random elemental enhancement. Duriel would have some interesting interactions with abathur since they're both maggots. Also D2 Paladin has plenty of stuff they can work with. Fist of the Heavens or Zeal ults would be pretty baller.

At the diamond and master level Tyrande is apparently great, like the second best support.

At the bronze and silver she's apparently really mediocre to bad, like the 5th best/worst.

I want to like her, I do, but she's honestly hard to play so it takes a lot more out of me to play her. Also I worry when I see her picked because I can't all expect all of my team mates to play skillfully enough for such a demanding character.

Also the whole invisibility thing, maybe more skillful groups organize better and use that heroic for awesome ambushes, while haphazard teams just waste the invisibility.

She's still damn sexy of course, pic related.

You can totally use the cloak to make teams disengage and save them.
>>
>>154894024
You could just play stitches and pull your teammates out of every fight they ever want to start. Pull teammates who escaped back into their death. Just report and move on. I'm always more infuriated by the people who lose you the game in HL because they don't know how to play, rather than playing bad on purpose.

>Team has solo tank ETC and a hammer. ETC constantly dashes outside of hammers range to fight, tries to sneaky flank engage by himself when we're retreating because he's not there to peel.
>Sylvannas split solo grab merc camps the entire game. Team fights are usually 4v5 because they engage on us, or slyv was caught for never being with the team.
>Enemy team pushes bottom fort in booty bay. We're three top with sylv so we take their fort faster than them and grab some coins. Our Artanis decides to defend engage 1v4 and dies, complains we did nothing and let them take the fort for free, runs around the core doing nothing until he gets booted. Joins back again later and continues to do a little as possible.
>ETC goes afk for 1~2 minutes four times during the game.
>Falstad grabs dragon knight and moves behind our middle gate, afk until it runs out. "Sorry phone".
>First pick medic
>Diablo picks the far charge talents, always engages before we are there, effectively giving the enemy team a 1v5.
>Picking second warrior, chen, into tychus.
>Killed 3 or 4, captures both shrines and pick up dragon, ping center keep core. Die with core at 4~8%. Realize valla and gazlow are near mid running away with 80%+ hp and very very low mana. Realize that they didn't come attack the core at all. "We didn't have any mp going for core would have been stupid."
>>
>>155005480
>>155007175
If you don't know how to position and land your skills, she'll be shit. If you do, she's able to solo heal perfectly fine.

Tyrande is all about killing the enemy team before they kill you. Her trait for increased damage and her stun allow you to lock in targeted burst kills. Her owls do ranged damage to finish enemies off, keep enemies from being topped off, or even decrease cooldowns.

I'd personally recommend starfire if you know what you're doing, assuming you're planning to pick the increased heal at 13. It's great for pushing into a fight and allowing for running from a fight, or defensively fighting something that's pushing into you. Literally more damage to pheonix except to all targets instead of one+splash, and it has slow.

True, sometimes it can save people wanting to disengage.

Yeah, I just find her so hard she's more stressful than enjoyable. I'm certainly not diamond or master level.

If anything it's more of a Dragon Shire map where holding both points actually benefits you when you own both as opposed to having to own both and then run to the center to activate the shrine to get benefit from it, and is much easier to mitigate your losses on by having good waveclear.

It's a better Haunted Mines map because of this.
>>
>>155023921
I kinda had an idea for making Garrosh a tough mellee specialist rather than a warrior.
He was quite a good commander so it'd make sense and he's got quite a few nice gimmicks that would work well with a specialist like the Iron Star, manabomb, Iron Juggernaut, turning Orgrimmar into a giant fortress.
>>
Should i buy butcher or artanis? I absolutely love butcher's charge, it is so much fucking fun and when you add the 10% health and a lunge soo much fun... but then you are fucked, all the enemy hero has to do is walk away from your mark and you are fucked with no ranged

The second choice is artanis who isn't as fun as the butcher but he is literally immortal with his infinite shields

I would change his burrow too, I find that I never need to use it. If you have to rely on his E to dodge shit, your positioning is bad.
>>
>>155053568
>your positioning is bad.
Your positioning is literally burrowing right behinf on into the middle of the enemy team. E is too give you time for your d to work and keep dishing out dmg with your w. I don't think it needs a rework at all.

So his D and W skills need to paired with his E in order to work well in a teamfight? Sounds like a problem with his kit to me

>>155054509
They don't need to be paired. You should be have the 7 talent in most comps and be able to spamp W. So it's not pairing so much and rather keeping it up through the entire fight. D works on its own but if you get bursted you might need to use it with E.

I don't think his kit has a problem. It's more that his Q and Isolation are fucking clunky while his other R is useless.
Also that baseline he has really bad mobility and waveclear. He's kind of squishy but I suppose that's fine. He's not meant as main tank.

How do you deal with Cho'Gall in QM?

He is literally impossible to kill with a disorganized team if the enemy team has a healer. Focusing him is pointless due to his outrageously high HP pool, his size allows him to body block EXTREMELY effectively, keeping healers safe, he's constantly spewing out ridiculously powerful skillshots, and he has at least THREE escapes.

I know people say, "B-BUT HE'S TWO HEROES SO IF YOU DO KILL HIM THEY'RE AT A HUGE DISADVANTAGE," but you can never kill him. NEVER. I HAVE NEVER DEFEATED A TEAM IN QM WITH A CHO'GALL, NOT ONCE.
>>

Cho'gall is a QM behemoth, for sure. Take any % based talents you can, and try to zone him out. He only has one reliable in/out (Hurry Up, Oaf! requires coordination from the Gall player), try to make him use it in and then secure the kill.

They're saying on reddit that the MVP selection works like this:

* add assists x [LostVikings=0.75, Abathur=0.8, other=1]

* add (timeSpentDead / gameLength) x 100 x [Murky=-1, Gall=-1, Cho=-0.85, other=-0.5]

* add 1 if player has top hero damage of his team

* add 1 if player has top hero damage of the match

* add 1 if player has top siege damage of his team

* add 1 if player has top siege damage of the match

* add 1 if player has top healing of the match

* add 1 if player has top XP contribution of his team

* add 1 if player has top XP contribution of the match

* add 0.5 if player is Warrior and has top damage received of his team

>>155090954
Raynor has one strategy: shoot people.
Sgt. Hammer shoots people better in the current meta but you actually need some awareness to use Hammer right, else you get stuck and die. Raynor does not have this problem. Raynor shoots people efficiently.
Raynor's strategy is thus: hit W, right click the closest person to death, and Q at somebody who gets too close to you. Take Hyperion and R at enemy buildings/groups.

He's not even particularly weak right now, it's just that Hammer does his job better at higher levels of play.
>>
>>155090654
Wait untili you get Hero League, and hope you get into Gold or higher, and then you'll be playing with people that have a general sense of the game.

Everything before that is just people fucking around and having no idea what they're doing. Just fuck around your first few hundred hours, and then you'll learn how to be mediocre. It's pretty much the same as all MOBAs, but this one is less punishing.

Those are both somewhat lower win rate heroes. Both of them can be beaten if you know how to dodge and counter them.

Hmmm.

Thrall, 4k, melee fighter with spell poke

>>155093078
Syl has damage when you use her right. The issue is that it's only average, and it's damage over time rather than bursty. It's also a bit mana intensive.
This is, of course, taking her dagger cooldown at 4 and flinging her W out as often as possible.

She is nasty for pushing with some objectives, very good at taking mercs, good at wave clear, has a sort of teleportation, and rather easy to play.

That's gonna be a problem until you get teams that can competently have a good composition and teamwork. Honestly, until you get to games with semi-serious players with decent game sense, most mobas are pretty much the same as single player games and your team mates might have good AI or might walk directly into the enemy team on accident.

I suggest just dicking around for most of your low level games to just try out different heroes and have fun taking camps or just admiring the game aesthetics.

garrosh was a bigot monster
he does not deserve to be called a hero

That could possibly also fit with either Ragnaros or the Overmind desu. Ragnaros sets the map ablaze and creates volcanoes while the Overmind infests it with Zerg shit.

t. Vol'jin

Welcome to when they announced it and the rest of us that gave a shit about that had to smurf to get the Vulture.

>>155095130
Makes me wonder what's going to happen with Vol'jin in the future. Knowing Blizzard they'll probably just have him be reincarnated as a servant of Sargeras or some shit.

And yeah, they've avoided questions revolving around whether or not we've seen the last of Vol'jin, so he will be back somehow.

I would be so hyped and pumped for Deathwing. I mean, he's fucking Deathwing.

>>155094880
Yeah it's totally possible, even likely, that they're referring to someone else.

But who knows except Blizzard.

>>155094359
We believe a truly awesome hero, Samuro, will be coming soon. You will learn to git gud when you snatch the pebble from his hand. His great blade will cut through armor and cut-uh the tomato.

Probably something like fel Vol'jin corrupting the Trolls.
Also let's not forget:
>wounded by a demonic weapon
>dying from poison/corruption/fel magic
>suddenly the spirits talk to him
>tell him to make Sylvanas the next warchief
>the one Horde leader who is actually evil, doesn't care for the Horde, hated by the Alliance and disliked by her fellow Horde leaders
>Kil'jaiden is known as the deceiver
>he already tricked people like Ner'zhul by pretending to be spirits of the dead/ancestors
>Vol'jin was already dying and in weak state of mind
>implying it wasn't Kil'jaiden who told him to make Sylvanas his successor
>knowing fully well that she won't be able to keep the Horde together or work with the Alliance against the Burning Legion
>JustAsPlanned.jpg
>>
>>155096012
>Sylvanas then proves how much of a strong independant female Forsaken who don't need no warm body by redeeming herself and proving to be more competent and willing to do what's necessary for the good of the Horde and the world itself
>Everybody applauds Blizzard for the strong female plotline, Sylvanas continues to lead the Horde until the very end.
>>
>>155096271
Yep, pretty much this.
Sad but true.
>>
>only have 8 heroes owned
>still super far off from ranked at this rate
>all the heroes I want to play are 10k
How's Abathur? I was initially intimidated by the idea of his playstyle, but having played with ones on my team now, I always find myself thinking, "What the heck are you doing? Do you even know how his abilities work?" and wanting to play him myself.
>>
>>155096391
Can be strong with the right map/team. If your team has died and you're on you're own there is limited options for you unless you can get a squishy in a mine trap. I normally pick Monstro to push another lane (only if we have the advantage) otherwise I sym him and attack the backline. People underestimate monstro's attack with the speed buff. I pick the clone hero if I'm confident on playing majority of the team when you need to even the odds.

He's worth a try atleast, nothing is better than hearing that random ding on a hero running away dying to a mine or a disrespect slap.

What the fuck it is literally impossible to get 13 artifacts by yourself i always can get 5 at most and rest of them gets stolen by other niggers

It will be garbage.
Remember how they advertised several new heroes with "CAN ALTER THE BATTLEFIELD TO YOUR TEAM'S FAVOR" and everyone thought holy shit can he like make holes on the gorund or build giant pernament walls, or like chop down trees and shit? NOPE all you can do is create useless fucking 2 meter wall that lasts one fucking second

>Abathur

You sucker people in by using yourself as bait. You multi-soak lanes while your team can delay the enemy or push an advantage. You turn fair duals into beatdowns with your sudden symbiotic help. You pester the enemy with cunning traps. You draw enemy resources away with your monstrosity or dive into fights without fear with your ultimate evolution. You laugh as you ninja slug slap people across the face and escape, leaving some mines to remember you by. You surprise your enemies with your cunning and sneaky Abathur draft on the right map.

But really, you feel meh because although he's so unique, he's also expensive and difficult, in draft your teams will regularly urge you not to play him, and you will often go thankless for your efforts.

At least she's still got Anduin.

I think I might suck it up and pick up Malfurion and Tassadar first, since they both seem interesting and useful, they're MUCH cheaper, and both of them are level 1 for me right now, so it's an ez thousand gold to earn back.
>>
>>155097964
Malfurion has big dick heals if your team has mastered the art of "not going back in for 6 secs after nearly dying" and can zone out enemies with his roots. A quality pick on Braxis and Towers.
>>
>>155097964
Tass is not a good choice if all you're doing is QM : it doesn't feel impactful and you can't do shit on your own
Malf is somewhat better
