Xth for either BIG HUMAN COCK or TASTU MY BURADE this October 18.

And then it's neither of them.

Who's ready for Zarya disappointment?

>>155869458
nobody asked for zarya
GIB LICH AND SAMURAI

>>155869458
I dealt with Gul'dan and Alarak disappointment. I'll deal.

Ala ten k tomorrow? I'll snag him up then. Even if he is meh, I love the ideas in his kit and who knows, they might buff him.

>>155869458
I've been looking forward to her gameplay style, and I'm prepared to be disappointed in her long cool downs and ineffectual damage.

Anyway, what's the best Azmodan build?

I just recently bought him and never played it, is this one viable?

Fifty-thousand gold a year in childcare and they call it a CULT!?!?!?

Is Gul'dan worth getting now?

>>155869810
that one's ok but without march of sin at 7 the laser talent at 13 is only useful if you can zap a building with nobody around to bother you, so i'd probably take the W talent instead

tfb build needs you to be good at getting tfb stacks though. if you don't have enough to start oneshotting minion waves with R+Q at 10 you aren't getting enough stacks

more newbie friendly build is Sieging Wrath into laser talents because it's less dependent on farming stacks

>>155869810
This shit is outdated as hell. Try to use this

Alright thanks I'll try those.

How does xp soaking work with minions? As long as the W or D minion is alive in a lane our team gets xp?

>>155870586
you only get xp from the w or d minion's KILLS, iirc

at least that's how locust works

it's still strong because you can D a lane across the map from objective and get some free push/building damage while both teams are busy

Someone in the last thread Artanis was getting a buff, what?

>>155874419
The post meant to say that he already was buffed and was asking how we felt about it.

>>155874584
Do you mean the shield bug, or the shitty health buff that didn't matter?

>>155874604
Also the fact that his W now has an innate dash.

Best Xul build?

>>155874672
Oh that happened a long time ago. He's still ass because they made the range way too short and at the same time they did that they nerfed Triple Strike nerfing his best build.

>>155873580

Ha nooooo

>>155874993

Well, Chromie VS Zeratul is a battle of "who gets hit first".

Whoever does, dies, and a sand blast or db will out and out fuck Zeratul right over just as much as Chromie getting blinkslowbombstabbed

>>155874717
>zagara cant push a shit along all game

>>155873580

Well anon, you have one solution that may backfire on you come next week:

Buy Li-Ming, who's Chromie without being a Shortstack and with all the damage PLUS a "technically an escape button" escape button.

>>155875057
well yeah but anyone dies if chromie can hit them with sand blast and db

the problem is that zeratul spends his time walking around invis and blinking. he's not just walking around the frontline of a fight waiting for chromie to press her buttons on him

>>155875210
>>155873580

Forgot to mention why it'll backfire - it's PRETTY LIKELY that Li-Ming will be free next week.

Johanna is comfy and relaxing to play. I love it.

>>155875279

Well, no fun allowed, I guess.

Is ETC actually good or do I just go against retards all the time?


I feel like moshpit is a gamechanger, but there are also times when I moshpit and it doesn't look like much gets done...

>>155876202
Mosh Pit is counterable, in the event that you're ETC and they have a lot of tools to stop Mosh Pit with, consider Stage Dive instead. However, even against a team with counters to it, it's still usable.

>>155876202
E.T.C. is fantastic if you've got a aaer that knows his shit.

>>155876202
ETC is top tier, dude. Almost always a strong pick.

Is there a warrior that doesn't get kited to death in this slow ass game?

The gap closers and escapes barely take me any distance, muradin, tyrael, super kited. No flash or a blink dagger to help out positioning either in this game?

>>155876202
Dont pick him against Tyrande or BW. In other situation he is solid pick

I need build for Trall, tried him yesterday, ult is amazing but i lack damage and not sure what i'm doing wrong.

>>155878269

>Previously on /hotsg/: >>155703224

>>155878269
as muradin and tyrael you shouldn't be "kited" because your job isn't chasing after people looking to get kills

stay with your team more often and use your abilities to help them

you can complain about getting kited when you play butcher

>>155879450
Never ever.
Same goes for in Overwatch.
People don't understand that when they're playing a role that's designed to deal damage you're probably going to get top damage.
They then get to use this to justify their actions despite them being constantly outplayed by the enemy dps.

50KB, 1267x791px

whatever happened to haunted mine?

>>155880159
level 1 Q range lets you contribute to teamfights when it's currently too dangerous to just charge in and do melee shit
also lets you dominate the fuck out of solo lanes in the early game. just mash that lightning on the enemy hero every time it's off cd

the level 4 Q talent gives extra bounces. each target hit counts towards your trait, so with this every single Q will give you enough trait stacks for a heal
just by sitting at the edge of a fight and poking with Q you can heal yourself a ton.

basically teamfights go like this:
mash Q whenever it's off cooldown while looking for an opportunity
once an enemy overextends or your tank initiates for you or something, you go in and blow someone up. wolf -> hit -> windfury -> hit -> lightning -> hit hit, ideally. sometimes you need to use the windfury speed to get in range first though

when ult is up you should ideally be hiding in bushes off to the side of the fight so you can sunder someone towards your team

>>155880663
it is called Braxis Holdout now

>>155880663
>had a 65% winrate on it
>absolutely loved the map
>gets removed because no one knows how to play it
One of the things that made me play this game less and less.

>>155880159
other important tips:

your wolf goes through minions but it still damages them, so you can root someone who's on the other side of the minion wave from you
also a great way to heal up. pierce through a big pile of minions with a wolf and you will trigger lots of frostwolf resilience heals. especially useful during laning phase

Azmodan is propably the most underrated hero in the entire game.

His early game is utter dogshit, that is true, but the amount of fucking pressure he puts on all lanes is insane. You can literally push all lanes at once while participating in teamfights and objectives.

Like you sit bot lane, pushing with your Warriors, meanwhile your general is pushing top, and you can easily help out during teamfights by chunking squishies with black pooled orbs for 1/3rd of their health.

>>155880705
Thanks, that helpful. Sad that im bad with melee heroes and always chose bad time for initiation. Trall is really strong hero that can kill squishes in one wind furry, i will try to master him.
Kerrigan is also strong melee, even overpowered right now but she too hard.

since Axolotl talked about a fifth role, possibly the role of deckard Cain ?

>it's a "Blizzard's unoptimized piece of shit game crashes my graphics card driver because it insists on running dx11" episode, Hero League edition

>>155882225
Decard cain is never going to be a hero,

>>155882225
if they were thinking about a 5th role it was probably either
* separate specialist into 2 classes: "siege" and "weird gimmicks"
* separate warrior into tank and brawler

>>155882323
he was found on the data mining a long time ago, and is on the list of Axolotl. He will probably come. And blizzard already confirmed that they'll add a very special hero like abathur, chogall, tlv or murky.

>>155882225
>Deckard Cain
>some old fart who cant do anything besides surviving a meteor fall and then die to some fairy magic after
what

>>155882287
have you considered looking it up on the internet
have you considered using the -dx9 launch option
have you bothered researching it at all

>>155882447
Deckard Cain will just give random quests to the rest of your team and empower their shit similar to Abathur.

Sounds fun

holy shit i came up with an awesome strategy for chromie

>>155883915

>>155883915
>using abilities as intended
waow, crazy strat

the timing on that actually tripped me up at first though, because her ult is 3s but traps are only 2s even though they have the same timer graphic

so what you do is watch the time trap timer, then as soon as it's 1/4th of the way done you WQ at it

>>155884272
>se her ult is 3s
i hope to GOD i will never be in a game with a literal TRASH chromeslut who took the shit ult over the awesome slowing ult

>>155884345
both are viable depending on situation

time loop is strong if your team doesn't have many disables because it lets you get a guaranteed combo off, although sands is great in teamfights and amazing with executioner

>>155884465
time rewind only affects one hero and it does literally the same thing the time trap does except the hero can still fight and move during it, so that ult is actually worse than the normal trap ability
the slowing affects all heroes, has a massive range and makes enemies unable to dodge any attacks or run away
it's literally 10^999999999 levels above the shitty time rewind ult

so, let me see if I got this right: the more I lose, the shittier my team mates become, the less chance I have of winning, which means more losing.

>>155884573
correct
one time i lost so many times i wasn't sure if my teammates weren't easy bots because i was able to 1v3 and kill everyone and literally carry the entire game
like holy shit i was probably playing against some indian curryshits on their 386x

>>155884562
time loop can be targeted on heroes who are running away or standing back instead of just ones stupid enough to run into your melee-range traps

>>155884573
no because you get shitty enemies as well

if you have 4 retards on your team and 5 retards on the enemy team then the only way you'll lose more often than you win is if you play like a retard too

it's simple. ask yourself every time before you post in chat "will this get anything done, or just get me reported", and then click ESC -> Options -> Mute Allied Chat

>>155885905
Too late for that anyway, game is already uninstalled.

I wouldn't mind the silence, but HL is literally the only playable mode, and now I might as well just wait until my League ban ends.

See ya, hope the game doesn't decay any further until next time I decide to play for a couple days.

>>155884793
It's Blizzard game, it won't die any time soon. 3-4 years support and player base for sure.

Ok so I'm new to this, how do I counter Rikki- I mean Zeratul?

I can't buy wards or dust so how do I see him coming?

>>155886012
actually this is propably the blizzard game with the smallest playerbase, which isn't even increasing, but rather leaking heavily
queuetimes are huge as fuck, and the match quality is pretty ass
i feel bad for the team working on it, they're actually doing a good job, it's just that the market is saturated and they were too late to the party
feels bad

>>155886429
stealth isn't truly stealth
if you keep a close eye on things you can see things warp around where he's walking and throw skillshots or aoe shit on him

>>155886429
you can sligthly see the silhouette of cloaked heroes (zeratul, nova) so pay more attention around you, or alternitavely play tassadar or some hero that has a clairvoyance talent if you can't see them

>>155886429
if you look closely you can see a shimmer where invis heroes are

it's especially helpful if they're running away from you and just cloaked: if you can spot the shimmer you can follow them, and doing any damage to them causes them to decloak

but also don't hang out alone especially with low hp, because he has a decent amount of burst damage

>>155886606
>>155886484
Ah got it, just saw him run by.

So I can't cast point and click spells on him like Sylvanas dagger, but only skillshots? Will he snap out of invis if he gets hit or keeps going?

>>155886831
inflicting ANY damage to a stealthed hero will result in them losing their stealth
you can't click on them directly for skills which operate that way, but skillshot based skills and aoe skills can hit them
some heroes can temporarily gain stealth, others gain stealth after not being hurt for several seconds - keep that in mind

>>155887230

Throwing ideas out there but I doubt they'll change it.

I'm actually in shock right now. My team had a 36 to 7 lead on Towers of Doom, then we managed to lose it because THEY DIDN'T TAKE THE FUCKING ALTARS TO END IT THEY JUST FUCKING STOOD AROUND INFRONT OF THE ENEMY BASE AND LOOKED FOR KILLS THEY OBVIOUSLY WEREN'T GOING TO GET SO THEY BLOODY FED THE ENEMY TEAM BACK UP TO WHERE THEY COULD FIGHT US OFF THE ALTARS

HOW COULD WE LOSE 36 CORE HP AND NOT EVEN DO MORE THAN 1 MORE DAMAGE TO THEIRS

>>155906260

The shit never ends.

>>155906671

Blizzard out and out said "They believed Tychus was a Tanky Assassin with too much tank", when he's squishy as shit.

So if they nerfed Li-Ming, they probably didn't do too much.

There is no reason to buff Alarak like this. He may not have had the best winrate but he was still really powerful in the right hands. Telekinesis especially is probably one of the strongest basic abilities in this game. This is definitely going to push him over the top.

>>155906759
>when he's squishy as shit.
not true
he's more tanky than the rest of the ranged assassins in the game by leaps and bounds

>>155906976

I must have been fighting retards then, because when playing as him and vs him, he's died SUPER FAST.

I don't get what the deal is, but I guess he's tanker than Valla

Holy Shit Zarya feels like hot shit.

>>155907312

>See? We're not pay to win! Alarak was a one time thing in recent!

>>155907185
well that probably comes down to positioning or something
paired along with his dash and his huge healthbar he's considerably harder to kill than other ranged assassins, at least from my experience of playing him practically every single game and playing against good tychus players

I don't know how to feel. I guess 5 more isn't all that much.

Why do they hate him so much?

I mean he already lacks range and movility, his damage should be insane if they want him to be pickable.

>>155915783
He's cooler than Thrall so they must make him bad from a gameplay point of view.

Not cool, man

Regarding Zarya's ult, it functions similarly to a root, but it doesn't actually seem to be explicitly stated as one. Can you still use movement abilities while caught in it?

How's Tychus right now? It's between him and Raynor for who I buy next.

That shit is stupid. I get the sentiment, but the execution is garbage. It essentially commends the person for straight up participating the most in teamfights, and landing kills.

>>155918931
raynor is pretty much only good to counter tracer, and tracer isnt even worth countering anymore

In OW it doesnt stun people, it just pulls people into the middle
Genji can just dash out of it, and maybe reinhardt can charge out of it

Yes you can. Any movement ability can get out of it. Also it does zero damage. It's even worse than Gazlowe's ult.

They need to replace Ice Block with Spirit Walk, this way you can couple it with Soul Harvest and Soul Harvest will actually have usage within a team fight. As it stands now, it is absurdly situational.

Would also improve the "hero fantasy" considering the Spirit Walk -> Harvest combo is a thing in D3.

>Talking about my taste and anime reaction faces in a anime imageboard

Both relevant stuff, I got your point perfectly, you are just a plebtard who likes stuff without even knowing why, I bet you are one of those fags that shits on the game and when people call you out you ''report for toxicity''

>balance patch
>no tassadar buffs
blizzard?

>>155932006
nah, I just like maps that reward team coordination and discourage 5 man stampedes marching to point A or B with tunnel vision out the ass.

>>155932013
what are they supposed to be buffing, your ownreaction time?

>>155932387
I mean the fact that he's only got one real build is kind of disappointing, but at the same time. The way blizzard fixes that is by nerfing the good talents.

the mindset of a first pick illidan when questioned "why would you pick illidan before asking your team "hey why didn't you ask your team whether they could build around illidan before picking him?""

>reworking Tyrael's talents

Are you insane, anon? The only way blizz reworks shit is by nerfing the good ones, and Tyrael's good talents are VERY good right now. His talents are the only thing making him good because his kit is lackluster, mana hungry and weighed down by a gimmicky passive.

I gotta stop playing quickmatch

>>155933716
I was in a game where we had 2 tanks, 2 specialists and a support vs a balanced team.

We'd get destroyed every team fight because we didn't have any damage.

>>155933840

Well when they keep nerfing the damage and people migrate to other damage only to have it nerfed as well, there's jack shit that can be done after a while.

>>155868958
Installed this last night and it took 550 seconds to find a match with the quick play, do not many people play this? :(

>>155933987
Are two specialist were Nazeebo and Abathur.

This

Free rotation is fucking stupid, and people are idiots, just release a shitload of skins and people will buy for their heroes, fuck it, some people will even buy for heroes they don't use

CSGO was dead, valve introduced skins, CSGO got big

>>155934115
Look up the work put into a brightwing skin that had to be changed.

Skins take a fuck ton of work, especially skins with themed abilities, animations, interactions with other abilities and new voice overs.

Not surprised they take time

CSGO skins are just skins, They don't require new animations or as much extra work.

>>155933990
matchmaking is bloated and makes finding games take forever.

>>155934317
Blizzard wipes their ass with money, they should be more proactive if they really wanna make even more money

also plebs are dumb, they probably would think blizzard is a saint for make heroes free, so even more $$$

>>155934031
>they removed GP from Nazeebo for no reason at all
>no way to get beeg dommage for cheap now
>have to take shitty quest talents for damage increase

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>155923814
I feel like every patch they make the game worse.
the 10% mount speed nerf made xul worse and zag better.
It also made it harder to react to Sylv or Hammer cheesing a lane

>>155934115
also just having all heroes makes people MORE willing to buy skins

people won't want to buy cosmetics for heroes they don't own and aren't sure if they enjoy them

but if there's a fancy new Juggernaut Arcana coming out and you are wondering whether to buy it you can just go and play juggernaut right now to see if you like the hero

>>155934317
devs specifically said that the brightwing skins took a long time to modify because they fucked up and had no idea what they were doing when they made bw, so she's way harder to make skins for than other heroes
