I didn't think it was that bad. After playing several games with both, I can get about 200 stacks on Taste for Blood only a couple minutes after I max out Sieging Wrath, and then still be able to stack on more damage. The puddle ult makes for super easy creep wave farming until you don't even need it to on1shot minions anymore.

>>
>>160495532
If you are able to stack reasonably with Taste for Blood (above what you would be able to get with SW within similar timeframe), then TfB is better, period. Usually for that to happen you need to have a stacking buddy helping you, though.

Chen kneels with his head down. "I understand. Do what you have to do. I'm willing to sacrifice myself for your happiness, friend." You see a few teardrops land on the ground as you raise the axe. "Keep Li-Li safe." Manages to escape before a filthy sound of metal chopping through flesh and bone.

I just started playing and I fell in love with Tychus, I decided to save up and try to get his master skin it's the best skin he's got but holy shit 8-9 is taking a long time, and I saw 9-10 was like 3 fucking mil exp or something close to that. Is there a faster way to level up to 10 or do I just keep playing QM?

Just finished my placements like a day or two ago, I forget. Out of all like 12 games I played tonight, I shit you not, about 3-4 times somebody had said "man i havent played this in so long lol" and other shit akin to that, and not only that, but the amount of people I get paired up with who barel have about 300-400 games played with no hero above level 7 is fucking insane.

Holy shit did I pick a bad time to start going for the Master rewards. I think I should just hold off until the season is almost up or something, because I swear these people are all coming back/getting into it because of that fucking OW promotion.

I'm so retarded for waiting so long.

What heroes need skins? Kael finally got one with cool effects, same with Valla.

Arthas has loads of skins, but I still don't really like any of them. China Arthas is okay, but... Same with Stitches. All stitches skins are just stitches.

ETC, Diablo, Malfurion, Hammer, Tyrael, Sylvanas, Chen, Johanna, Artanis, Anub, Morales, Gul'dan, Murky, Sonya and Rehgar.
>>
>>160508914
Agreed. Though some of those gave skins I like, they could use more variety and maybe a few more with cool effects.

Malf's new one looks amazing.
>>
>>160509008
Honestly speaking, every hero needs a legendary skin and two epic skins. Not that I'll be the first one to buy skins for my heroes, but it would bring us a step closer to the game being funded enough for us to get more free shit more often.
>>
>>160509167
Fair. I definitely have spent a lot more money on epics.

Though, there are some basic skins I love or grew to love. Monarch Brightwing is perfect, for example.

There are also basic skins I love, but wish were epic like Lumberjack Uther.
>>
>>160509460
the only thing I want is for magni muradin to have magni's voice and for widowmaker nova to have widowmaker's voice

>>160509619
They did it with Crown Prince, but that was the same voice actor. Fully replaced voice lines by a different actor might mean they'd have to bump it to legendary and add some more animations of effects.
>>
>>160509619
There are already exsisting voice lines of Magni talking to Muradin, I dunno if that is interaction between the skins or if they really are making a Magni Bronzebeard hero.
>>
>>160510104
the interaction is for when you kill a muradin with the skin as muradin

Considering getting the Conqueror bundle. I only have 3 out of the 10 and it's £12. Pretty decent value imo.

Are there any extremely frustrating characters in this game that can chain stun you for 10 seconds at a time, or burst down anybody in seconds without any way to fight back?

I haven't played much, but I haven't seen any characters who do shit like that yet.
>>
>>160524096
Mura can e(with lvl 16 0,5 stun talent)+q+refresh+e+q with almost no chance to fight back

I'm talking shit like Bane or Shadow Shaman in Dota who literally take a single person out of a fight from over 10 seconds
>>
>>160524457
Not really. There are effects that out you into stasis for a while like web or void prison, but this game has a lot less "impactful" abilities as the DOTA people call it. Conditions including stuns are usually short.
>>
>>160524347
But lvl20 talent does refresh all basics
>>
>>160524567
Sounds good. I love Dota but constantly getting disabled and staring at the screen while not being able to do anything is frustrating as fuck. And league is just cancerous with all their "lol I 100 to 0 u in half a second with no chance to fight back xD" characters.

I just want a fun screw around Moba

Yeah, that's why it's shit. CC shouldn't be a tickle and you're off the hook kinda deal - if you let yourself get CCed, you should be appropriately punished for it. In this game getting CCed is barely even noticeable.
>>
>>160525114
I'd rather play a game with only one character like that rather than one where 50% of the cast does that shit, as well as having most players exclusively play them.

>>
>>160524567
That's because we had a meta for lije half a year that revolved around Tyrande and just stunning and insta killing any one in seconds. Cleanse was nerfed back then and stuns lasted longer. Eventually they started nerfing everyone's stuns. I think the only one to escape with out a nerf was Rexxar with Misha Charge.

>barely noticeable

I never played dota but stuns are still huge in hots and they had to nerf them because the meta was revolving around them.

It's better to have to time and chain effects rather than one person drop a crazy game ender. Ultis should be okay alone but way better if timed perfectly or combod.

Chogall works well with strong single target healers. Bw tyrande dont work well. Reg and khara can work. Malf and med are good. Auriel best due to trait and aegis.

He also lacks cc. Another tank like mura or a melee assasin like kerri thrall or ala that can help him secure kills.

Usually you want another damage dealer too.

Heroes with global travel are also useful due to two heroes never separating.

So I just came back to this game after about a year hiatus because my friends wanna play it.
I remember back then you could AFK in solo bot games and come back in 20m and collect exp to grind to level 10 quick.
Is that still a thing? I just wanna get to level 10 ASAP for Varian. What's the best way?
>>
>>160531170
The game kicks you after 45 seconds of inactivity

>>160531170
Nope they got rid of that. The best way is to play team league with 5 friends. It's the most XP, but the your also not guaranteed Varian. So just play quick match with as many friends as possible.

Except Sylv can dress the way she dresses because she is a assassin, she is trained to be stealthy + banshee magical shit

Tyrande is a high priest of Elune, she should have more self respect, specially if she wanna use the ''light'' and ''purity'' to fight someone

And even so, Tyrande's clothing is more slutty
>never happens although she is the one who freed him instead of letting him rot in prison like malf wanted

Thats exactly what I am saying, she used him, then even when he gave up on everything to save her, she sent him back to the cage again

Which just points out Illidan isn't the demon WoW portrays him to be, he could beat the living shit out Tyrande ou Malf anytime, but he never does because he loves them, even tho they don't respect him

Tyrande is also the leader of the night elf army and an expert archer, she isn't only a priestess. Also why do you think night elves hold the same values of modesty as humans?

>she sent him back to the cage again
She didn't, he was banished by Malfurion Illidan didn't go back to prison

>Are you seriously implying Sylvanas has a canonical serious relationship with Nathanos? lmao
Yes, She trained with him then they fucked by the pond in her story while she was alive. She then raised him from the dead and he serves as her second in command.

You don't seem to know anything about either Tyrande or your waifu.

Make all heroes viable / ban anyone who says "I'M AFK CAUSE YOU PICKED <X> before you introduce map knowledge. The base-level idiot is going to go for big kills and big kills exclusively. Make people gain bonus gold for not having Nova in their roster or some shit. The stupidity has to stop before the intellect can flow.

To both points..

>Might seem more balanced if it was longer!

The RNG elements before even figuring out of people give a shit is just bad for balance.

>Not putting them on the "It's just like dota! map would be a good idea".

Blizzard isn't smart. They just know how to wring money from a corpse or two. Of course they'd pick the DOTA-lite map just to draw in refugees, then they flounder when it comes objective time. DOTA players have farming and jungling engraved in their blood if they're worth a shit, because lose lane = lose game.

They'll be hard pressed to that fucking lane until they start losing games due to it. That said, fucking soaking is super essential, so they're not wrong.

Blizzard does it every 2-4 weeks with these new hero releases. Nerf them into paste but release them OP so sheep buy em'. It's a crock.

Melee assassins aren't viable. There's a HUGE reason why it's:

for "Damage as Assassin".

Well, what's your advice if you're so great? I'm all ears.

>>160564351

If it was explained like that, it'd make more sense. You forgot to add the "Kerrigan needs smartcast/quickcasting enabled, lest she never land a combo".
>>
>>160564447
even as a smartcaster i have problem with melee assassins (except alarak because lighting build)
>>
>>160564447
My first piece of advice never listen to that guy. Some of the strongest heroes in the game right now are melee. There's a reason why Illidan is banned first in tons of tournament games, and in Korea he is always banned in first in every game.

Alarak is considered insanely strong, Thrall is one of the best solo laners in the game and is also very good. Kerrigan is really good in the right comps and Zeratul is insane with his new build. Not to mention Samuro who is really good, not broken anymore but still good.

Too say melee isn't good right now is fucking stupid.

not him but it's inferior to ranged
has been for a while and it continues to be so, at least if we're talking assassins
>>
>>160565349
No it's not because well rounded teams have a mix of them. If you really wanted to say something was more important than anything else right now it's warriors. ETC and Muradin prioritized way more than anyone else.
>>
>>160564712

Thrall's good? People tend to run away and I just get punished for even trying to deal damage.

Never tried Alarak just yet..and Illidan's good? I was looking at him since he's really cheap.
>>
>>160565704
Illidan is good, he's just really hard to use right. Thrall's strength is hitting really hard, and crazy sustain.
>>
>>160565349
Post your rank faggot.
>>
>>160565663
>No it's not because well rounded teams have a mix of them.
the only cases in which heroes like alarak or thrall are picked is when you either need a strong initiator or a good solo laner (though Alarak has become more of a general pick recently)
the rest of the viable melee assassins like greymane, kerrigan and others usually need a comp built around them to make them work, and even then you're almost entirely banking your team's success on that player being good

compare this to heroes like that anon was saying, falstad (which is shit now, really), li-ming, tychus, valla and so forth
all of them have equal, if not more damage output than melee assassins with the added benefit of usually having easy escapes and not needing to have a comp built around them
>>
>>160566015

Hahaha ok anon.
>>
>>160566045
falstad isn't that bad honestly he's just not GREAT after the nerfs, you still have to build caster
>>
>>160566045
Tychus is taken all the time because he fucks Muradin and Muardin is in every fucking game. Li-Ming because of resets and Falstad because of global. Dehaka and Brightwing were seen a shit load during the last tournament because of globals as well,

Greymane isn't seen because Blizzard nerfed him into the ground and now the only map he's good on is BoE, but before they nerfed him 3 times in a row he was seen in every game as well.

>>
>>160566868
No because other tanks would rise up. Right now there isn't a point to play the other tanks because of how much better ETC and Muradin are than the rest of them. Johanna is picked often when they can't get ETC or Muradin. Also Chen and Dehaka are starting to see more play, but usually in the second tank role.

>>160573392
Applies lane pressure passively via tunneling all around the map and spawning bugs, whilst Symbioting people for some extra firepower and protection in a fight, although you take the Ultimate Evolution ult to actually become a body for teamfights.

Abathur can be good, but he's exactly like Gazlowe in that your team has to build around him and work with him, and hope the enemy team will allow him to do what he needs to do. Which is why nobody ever plays him in Ranked. Nobody is going to put forth that much effort just to accommodate the guy who wants to play this character.

It's not balanced because you're playing with literal shitters and your hero selection is random.

I'm rather talking about how there can even be fucking 37+ takedowns during a single game. It just doesn't happen at any higher levels.
>>
>>160593085
Not him, but here's what I go with.

Unless you have a buttbuddy to help farm stacks, pick Sieging Wrath. Taste for Blood wrecks late game, so if you have someone helping you out, pick that.

I personally like Gluttony if some dive-heavy cunts with no CC like Illidan are around, but otherwise Sin's Grasp because it offers some extra oomph in conjunction with Black Pool.

Learning to dunk without Infernal Globe will drastically improve your uptime in battle with Gluttonous Ward and Marching Sin should be a baseline to All Shall Burn, but fuck if I know why it's a talent instead.

Infused Power is good for sieging, but especially nice if you picked Gluttony or Marching Sin earlier.

Sin for Sin is a must, that shit's a whopping 17.5% of a tanks health on a targeted skill with Black Pool.

I like Bolt of the Storm since it allows you to reposition and gives you a much needed escape skill. Fifth Circle is nice for teamfights though.

This entire thing is exclusively for teamfights. Some of the Demon Warrior talents like Demonic Smite and Forced Recruitment help a lot for applying pressure in empty lanes, but I prefer helping out in battles instead.
>>
>>160594614
Hey, this is great. Will give these a go next game, cheers
>>
>>160595827
Do make sure that you can actually hit your globes. Only chose something other than Infernal Globe at level 7 if you can absolutely nail those.

Between someone with Marching Sin/Gluttonous Ward that can't hit shit and an Azmodan that has training wheels with Infernal Globe but hits those, I'll always prefer the latter because it has a much larger impact on fights.
>>
>>160580009
I assume taunt has no range because that's the range of a melee attack.

It is designed for use against melee heroes, I guess. But it is rough, I'll admit.

Plus, the rest of the build just sucks.

Bronze league post incoming, disregard if you're one of those HL Grand Master only players.

>I feel like I'm a wet tissue with no damage.
Well, yes. But if you play Quickmatch there's some chance you get an opposing team who simply cannot deal with his shields once you hit lvl 7/13. just get in the fray and listen to your favourite weaboo songs while your shields reactivate over and over again while you take out their whole team little by little untill you run out of mana and die.

I have also personally find him very usefull against Varian, since everyone goes twin blades and the few who don't still won't pick shattering throw. Blind has gone a long way for me and some of my teammates.

TL;DR: he may be shit, but for me he's FUN.

Basically, since he has no escapes and his shield refreshes in auto attacks (you also have to take the refresh on dash too), you have stay in the fight to stay alive. Late game, with your crazy shield talents, you are more likely to stay alive fighting the three enemies than trying to leave.

Don't engage willy milly. You need to be able to land your attacks or you lose all your survivability. Dashing can be tricky as enemy CC can put you way out of position.

He -constantly- hits like a ball of cotton though. He's no burst hero, he gets his sustained damage by not fucking dying. And there're several heroes that simply cannot win in a duel against you.

You can keep hitting though. Over and over and over. You're a bruiser, so you are in between a tank and an assassin. You aren't ever gonna make people explode like some of the other characters.

Artanis is legit unkillable unless focused by 4 people, then again, most tanks in this game work like that.

Nope, he's just situational, like most other mages.

Jaina is definitely the best mage, as she is the most stable pick.

Chromie is arguably the worst mage, as she is only good as a last pick, since she is too easily countered. She is also only good against comps that rely on range or hammer etc.

Jaina gets picked a lot in pro hots due to ring of bronze being a playmaker ult. She's not underrated at all.
Gul'dan is pretty underrated, despite being present even in high level play and a superb ult, nobody recognises that he's a balanced and good hero.

What the fuck do you think Heroes of the Storm IS?

It's the game that's marketed to hypercasuals and people too unskilled or uninterested in playing games that are more difficult.

It was originally marketed as a hero brawler for a reason. Turbo-Casuals think it's cool to see Thrall fighting Diablo because they always thought about who would win if their favorite Blizzard characters actually fought. The actual gameplay is largely irrelevant to them. And that's who HotS was marketed to.

They'll never be any good at the game and it's a (fake) moba so people are going to be calling them shit constantly, and they're casual and stupid enough to actually feel good when something pops up saying they did good in a random stat. And that makes them buy that cool Thrall skin because they want to look cool in the game that tells them they're good.

Most of the people taking this game seriously are either baiters, or autistos who suck at any real game, so they grind ranks on this one, and preach about having some ''mechanical skill'' when the true difference about most plat/diamond players to GMs are in-game decisions, since mechanically there isn't really a way to shine individually enough to carry 1x5 like you do in other games

>>
>>160621468
Nobody could have won that in your place. If your team is keen on making terrible decisions, then that's just kind of it, you have to sit back and take it like a champ, and grind through matches exactly like that just to get to fair matches wherein you hopefully will win. THAT is the ranked experience.

This game is built to revolve around the 5v5 team play, so Team League is pretty much the way the game is meant to be played, but good luck finding 4 other people to consistently play with. Though to be fair, the clan system is meant to help that, and that's still on the way.
>>
>>160621468
The biggest problem in HOTS right now, is that 1 guy can't win a match or carry a team on his own, but 1 guy can completely take the piss and drive an entire team into a loss on his own.

You have to be Grand Master level if you want to carry retards, and you can only carry as Assassin, even though the most skilled player on a team should be playing Tank.

However, there are things you definitely should NOT do:
- be toxic, or comment on people dying, it's a waste of time.
- play heroes that depend too much on good teamplay (common heroes that are played with the false perception that they can perform well with an uncoordinated team are Illidan, Vikings, Hammer, E.T.C and so on(there are more)).
- try to save retards from dying, it's generally better to just let them die, unless you can save them without putting yourself in harms way.

I wish daily quests weren't a thing, but instead it ran passively in the background, giving you 800 gold for every 8 games you play and 300 for each 3 classes you play. This current system really discourages me from playing beyond my quests, same as the issue with brawl.
>>
>>160623196
Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with you. Hearthstone used to have the same issue for me before they introduced the chest rewards at the end of the season - that could be cool in HotS as well. The more you play and the better you do, the more rewards you can get periodically. Maybe it could work.

Diablo does a shitton of dmg and punishes enemies which are out of position and has good ults.

Arthas does a shiton of dmg and locks people down.

Dehaka can easily get solokills, even in teamfights while also serving your team kills on a silver platter.

Lili does a shitton of dmg.

Uther was a stretch but to carry battleuther might work. He has a teamfight deciding ult.
>>
>>160625097
>shitton of damage
No, Varian or Greymane or Thrall do a shitton of damage. Diablo and Arthas and Lili just do "damage".

Battle Uther does not work. His ult is a worse Mosh Pit, you can't rely on your team taking advantage of it.

Dehaka suffers even moreso from an uncoordinated team, since he's all about setting up a kill for someone else.

You -cannot- carry with these. Maybe in Bronze league, but if you're anywhere in the normal gold/plat/diamond range, you're fucked if you got idiots on your team and ESPECIALLY so if you pick these worthless heroes.

He's the Brightwing of Warriors, but with great clear.

You can't carry as a support, what are you gonna do? Heal the enemy team to death?

You can't carry as hammer, that requires your team using your range to their advantage, something they won't understand if they're retard.

For all tanks, see above.

Nazeebo and Sonya are the only 2 valuable arguments there.

1 tank, 1 heal, 3 ranged is actually garbage.

>>160627019
Alarak is supposedly good, but i have yet to see any good alaraks around.

Illidan and Brightwing are good for competitive play, but Illidan requires a team built around him.

I would say Samuro, since he is fun and good, and might be less banned when Rag comes out.

Vikes are the best if you're up for a challenge, but people Plat and below don't know how to play with vikes on their team.

I don't randomly buy heroes. I do buy the ones I like over the ones I don't, or when there's a really sweet deal. Like one of the current bundles was 4 or 5 heroes for $2 for me.

The other bundle, with the stimpack, is $10 and I'm tempted.

>>160627389
Well I'm torn.

In order, I like:
>Gul'dan
>Stitches
>Nazeebo
>Medivh
>Samuro
>Rexxar
>Lunara

I'm interested in:
>Alarak
>Chromie
>Kael'thas
>Dehaka
>Morales

I'm indifferent to:
>Varian
>Nova
>Chen
>Illidan

I'm really not keen on:
>Johanna
>Brightwing
>Uther
>Murky
>Rehgar
>Kharazim
>Lost Vikings

But because of gold costs, I can choose like four 4k heroes or just one 10k hero.
So one of the decisions is Gul'dan vs Nazeebo+Rexxar plus either Johanna and Illidan or maybe take KT or Stitches instead. Or I could go with Samuro + Stitches and have 500g left over.

Maybe I should just get the bundle and cut my list down. But I don't quite feel like HotS has earned $10 outta me.
>>
>>160629146
I like calling this bundle the "off-meta bundle", because basically all of those heroes have suffered from the current meta and Blizzard might be stupid enough to buff them.

I'm planning to get that bundle myself, too. We'll also have another kickass bundle for $10 next week, but of them you only don't own Illidan (+5 skins).
>>
>>160629146
Stitches is in a bad spot atm, i would not recommend.

Gul'dan is good and underrated atm (in my opinion).

Nazeebo has been a stable and very well balanced hero since the game came out.

Medivh has mad value in the right hands, but he is VERY hard to play, and requires that the team you pick him on can play with him.

Samuro is a good choice, but he is banned in most drafts atm.

Rexxar is a very good choice aswell, but he is NOT a tank, he is more of a specialist with bruiser-like disruption.

Lunara is really good overall.
>>
>>160628309
Only good if you like the comics, most likely. I feel like anyone who isn't familiar wouldn't care.
>>
>>160629521
>Stitches is in a bad spot atm, i would not recommend.
This has been his state since last time I played HotS regularly, like a year ago. I just love the hook and devour. I played him more like a Bruiser than a tank.

>Rexxar is a very good choice aswell, but he is NOT a tank, he is more of a specialist with bruiser-like disruption.
That's how I already played him.
I'd really like to see Warriors split into two groups. True tanks vs Bruisers. Especially now with multiclass heroes. They could make most Warriors multiclass as Tanks and Bruisers.

Stitches need a 0.50sec stun on his W or something like that to make him viable.

They really need to make a Bruiser class, but i think it would make people realize exactly how few warriors are viable as tanks (not that people don't already do), but Blizzard fears that i think.

>>160629834
I actually do well with Stitches and just max my damage and take out the carries pretty fast. I do get a few tank talents but not a lot. Who needs to tank if they are dead?
>>
>>160629962
That reminds me I still have that shitty Gul'dan code.

>play more zagara
>filthy valla thinks can duel me on a 1v1 without sneak attacks
Zebara is fun

The Alarak blamed me. The Rexxar "solo'd" boss while we were doing bottom altar, except he realized he was too shit to do it and had to leave.

Khara Illidan Naz most fun

why is diablo so bad you guys it hurts

>>160585916
shouldn't have skipped math class

What I don't get is how it became bad despite not having been nerfed. The whole dash keeps you moving thing is surprisingly awful.
>>
>>160631218
There'll be a semi-rework for Diablo coming in a couple of weeks.
>>
>>160631218
He's getting a rework.
>>
>>160614993
if any one wants to know why this game didn't take off like crazy it's because the game doesn't back up the marketing. 10-15 minute maps with "epic battles" like blackheart's revenge would fit the causal fantasy. instead it's an imitator with laning and a quagmire of largely trivial "depth" called talents sucking the fun out.

Powercreep, son. It's bound to happen.

When will people learn to not duel a raynor with seasoned marksman/vigor/cluster round and stand behind of a wave?
>>
>>160632047
powercreep would imply he was ever good

firestorm and rampage baseline please

He was.

Speaking of Diablo, were there any heroes that you knew you wanted to play right away when you were about to start playing for the first time?

For me it was Diablo, Nazeebo, Malf and Gaz. I had no interest in anyone else at first.

>Posting Discord cancer groups where losers group up to post their hivemind opinion, gets their attention, and live inside their little drama , circus, since they are all beta cucks with nothing going on in their lifes

This kind of ultra-cancer casuals is what killed CSGO, we don't wanna this bullshit here

Go eat a fat one, if we gonna have a discord group it should be one to discuss about the game, and light shitpost allowed to everyone without blogposting/hierachy highschool drama

Why do bronzies always blame their team if they lose?

Why can't they understand that they're shit and deserve to be at the rank they are?

Anyone on EU party up/friend up for Nexus Challenge?

I'd also love to know why they don't submit under my command when they really don't know better and they know very well their win ratio is 41%. They must become my pawn.

I can't wait for the account level rework.

Don't reply to him, he just read anon thanking people for actual answers instead of shitposting, and just started shitposting because he is a Le epic troll, and people on a anonymous imageboard about games still need to talk out their asses for attention in 2016

Well I guess that whole 5 minutes in menu was enough gaming tonight, thanks dude

I know that feeling.

But I ended up getting over it when I realized that I was only getting kills with counter strike because people didn't notice we hit twenty.

I got my friend to play hots again today. I'm happy to be playing with people again rather than randoms.

Our Cho'Gall game was actually really fun too. We got paired against a really bad one.
>>
>>160639159
cho'gall in general is just so much fun
he really needs to be looked into though, gets utterly melted even by non-tank killer comps
>>
>>160636986
it's not that fat
>>
>>160639924
Yeah, the only reason I got lucky there was A. I took all the tanky talents and B. the other team was retarded.
>>
>>160642640
Monk could always stay in the fight for a long time. Now he just can deal damage if you make him have the assassin trait.
>>
>>160639159
I may be bad but playing against a cho'gall is aids, not because hes that dangerous but hes really hard to ignore.
