not really. QM is super inflated mmr-wise for new players. Someone with decent MOBA experience could climb to diamond level mmr with 70-100 games with a pinch of luck. Even though they would know fuck all about mechanics or heroes.

>>160789691
The game ended before the laning phase did.

Nth for dropping the game due to Varian being hilariously broken in QP and making trying to learn the game impossible.

Really considering it. The game isn't fun anymore...

Has anybody else been having loads of connection issues? I've seen 3 people go drop in and out of games almost all match.

>>160793284

Please god let it be WoW Zul'jin with a decent kit. Generic Troll will be such a let down

>>160797578
Why not both?

>>160797070
Why the fuck would zuljin shapeshift? Hes not a druid.

>>160797652

I highly doubt they could pull it off

>>160797949

Because the entire fight against him in WoW was centered around him shifting into 4 different animal phases?

>>160798338
I feel they wont have that aspect for him.

>>160798578

Yeah probably not. I just find it far more interesting a concept for this game rather than Ranged assassin: Axes edition

>>160798738
All the models of him we've seen are his Warcraft II version

We'll be lucky if his WoW incarnation gets a reference as an ultimate

well FUCK now i want a multiclass druid that can shapeshift into 3 different animals at 10

can they do that in warcraft lore

>>160795058

Never said I wasn't.

Is Diablo still shit, because I always loved playing that big lumbering retard

>>160803662
You sure?

I am trying to find a tank that I want to play; I like playing characters like brightwing, abathur, and the lost vikings. Which tank should I try?

>>160805023
Muradin because he's good
Stitches because he's fun
Arthas because he's both

>>160805023
Dehaka for global presence like abathur and BW, rexxar if you want to control more things at the same time like vikings

Should I play or should I just fap?
The result will probably be the same regardelss

>>160805937
both

I really enjoy Dehaka, but his ultimates are godawful, especially with their lack of synergy with his kit.
Isolation is cool, but literally worse than Alarak's Q, a basic ability
Buffing the healing from adaption won't make it not shit, it still provides no utility or damage, and you can still be bursted down before the healing triggers

>>160806452
Both at the same time to be specific. Got a mouse with side keys for this purpose.

Fap to HotS rule 34 stuff while playing ranked.

Oh my god, playing in a party is fucking heaven. I got friended by a random fucking peruvian and played with him and it was still INFINITELY better than solo queue. What the fuck was I thinking.

I loved it.

how do i get thicker skin i'm so insecure, i love this game a lot but 50% of the time i do straight horrible or i do good and then lag makes me do horrible

and at first i'm not too hurt about it and try to make the best of what i've got then people say "Lol this X" as if i'm not on their fucking team and call me bad and then at that point i lose all motivation to play

i could mute but at that point the damage has been done

>>160809040
Maybe you could try maining a character for a while, just playing what you love playing or what you're simply best at. That way you could improve your basic mechanics and knowledge, and less people would be whining about it.

>>160806898
>and you can still be bursted down before the healing triggers

If only you had a stasis like ability that allows you to still get your heals off

Isolation is still pretty good versus casters in general because of the vision component alone, it's just hard to pull off a nice one in a classic teamfight

Look up astral authority games : they have a pretty decent dehaka that played some at blizzcon recently

You just gotta learn to relax and take things as they come. It's a lot harder to do than it sounds, but every time you find yourself getting anxious or angry, just take a deep breath and refocus. Take a break for a few minutes if you go through a particularly rough game or a few losses in a row.

If Undercoveranon is to be believed...

He will be based on the WC2 Axe Thrower unit, as he originally was. He won't be based on his WoW self.

He will be able to throw a net on people for CC, will have the ability to inflict Vulnerable upon himself in exchange for significant damage increase, and he will have very exceptional health regen (Troll Regeneration) to help offset the fact that he's essentially a berserker who harms himself to be more aggressive. (Vulnerability and whatnot.)

>>160796607
Yes he does.

>>160814962
I think that info leaked prior to Blizzcon so it might be outdated already, and we wont know for sure until like next year. It's tearing me apart.

Sonya, Kerrigan tongue's close second.

>>160812203

Because it's so important you don't miss your W, try to get in range and Q for the slow first. If 2 people are around you, try to position yourself in such a way that if you miss W on one person it might hit the other. It's so important W lands.

Entomb can be used in more ways than "This squishy needs to be trapped." It can block off entrances and stop tanks from getting to your teammates.

Nobody's even been able to play him yet unless they went to blizzcon. And even then Blizzard admitted he was too strong at the event and that they were going to tone him down before he reached live.

>>160828768
>too strong
>against bots
The only thing remotely OP about him is taking over an enemy inner fort and sieging the core, but after it expires he has no escapes.

>>160812203
USE YOUR FUCKING B DON'T REVIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ENEMY TEAM!

>>160828849
Blizzcon was people v people at the stations there. Maybe they had bots if there was an odd number of people in a game.

>The only thing remotely OP about him is

There is LITERALLY no way for us to tell how strong or weak he's going to be until we can play him in something resembling a real environment. A hero could have the most boring kit in the world and still be OP if the ranges, cooldowns, talents, and numbers were right. Blizzard's opinion was probably based heavily on their own internal testing and the blizzcon build was slightly outdated compared to their internal build.

We just gotta wait and see.

>>160829070
Maybe I'm not well informed, but I remember watching some faggot's stream and the blizzcon client was literally a single button which starts a 1+4 bots v 5 bots game with Rag.

>>160829302
I seem to remember some people talking about playing with other players at blizzcon, but both definitely could have been an option.

Now that I think about it, I think it's almost certain that the blizzcon build was just a couple weeks behind their internal build, and their internal build already had rag nerfed. Even if players were playing against other players at blizzcon, I find it hard to believe blizzard would take such a small sample size in such a small stretch of time with that much seriousness, and NOT have picked up on that same general data in their own internal testing.

>How do I Xul?
With how flexible he is, builds depend on the enemy team. You can effectively spec him to handle whatever is thrown at you.

>In what comp can I take him?
Again, with how flexible he is, you can build him around any comp

>What should he be doing?
Pushing his massive boner as deep into the enemy keeps as he can until teamfights come around, then it depends on the enemy. Generally speaking, it's best to play him as ranged poke until someone dives into your team. The slow on his scythe is great, and the attack speed debuff on his melee ability is fantastic against shit like Illidan and the Butcher. Always take Vulnerability for his bone prison and mana restoration from raising skeletons. Both his ults are good, but again depends on team comps. At level 20, either take Bone Spear unless they have a good healer, in which case you want Mortal Wounds.
Skeleton Mages are great to plop down in the middle of a bunch of ranged dudes, or as an escape from melee dudes. Poison Nova also does some fairly decent damage, but should only be taken when you have some of your own melee dudes on your team to back you up.

>>160831562
>how
You run up to the wave and w it while throwing a q in.
In teamfights you try to e a backline and then q it or alternatively you w their divers.
>comp
More map than comp-dependant. You want him when your team needs waveclear/the enemy team doesn't have good waveclear.
>what
You pick him on Tomb or BhB/Infernal Shrines to soak multiple lanes quickly and apply more pressure with skellingtons.

I'm so fucking done with this game this week. Samuro on free2play is just going to be fucking painful with everyone thinking they're gonna be cheeky sneaky fucks, only to fuck their team in team fights because they don't want to actually stick in an engagement that would've been won if this faggot would actually just not run away every single time he takes one hit from anything.

Is the murlock meant to be a joke character? Played against one and the only thing he accomplished was getting 1 shot 20+ times

Anybody know if playing with low-mmr people (bronze-plat, while you're diamond+) in Team League affects your placements in terms of mmr gains and losses?

>>160837250

His entire role is to be an annoying little shit. His character trait is that he can put down eggs and respawn a lot faster than anybody else, while placing his puff-fish explosives on walls and such that do seriously heavy damage. Along with one of the best ults in the game, if used well with teamwork. Stunning someone for 3 full seconds is a lot of punishment to happen, or a lot of work that an Illidan/Tracer could be doing but is entirely nullified.

How do you get gud at Jaina? She seems so much harder to play than li-ming, kt or gul'dan who you can just blow up everyone with. Jaina just seems bad with her long cds and way easy to kill

And by Gul'dan you mean Chromie, right? Chromie blows people up like KT and Li-Ming, Gul'dan is sustained damage over time.

>>160838389
1. Hit your goddamn rings, be patient.
2. Use cds wisely, don't overvalue frostbolt, but don't undervalue blizzard.
3. Positioning.
4. Map awareness.
5. Don't die.

>>160838389
jaina's value is is pretty much dependent solely on hitting her ring of frost outside of that she is pretty bad

>people defending abathurs on qm with a 13% heal

>>160838369
You forgot the part where he only gives a quarter of normal xp, so killing him is pretty much an inefficient waste of time

>>160837816
He can't. The only viable solo tanks are muradin, etc and johanna at the moment
Among tanks he's also one of the most difficult to play well imho, hitting the q can be hard if enemies know how to position/counter and his survivability kit requires precise timing

Had a Gazlowe duel last match. The other one joined in on my little dance while waiting for shrine to spawn. Love it when things like that happen in games.

>tfw Tracer main
Will I ever swing a team battle?

>>160837250
He was better before. He is a joke character, but he was intended to be worth playing.

He's still very good at annoying people and making them chase, but a lot of heroes destroy his puffer and burst him, so. And now Octograb is useless outside of 1v1.

Just finished placements, ended up in gold 2. B-but it's matchmaking fault matching me with unskilled players, f-fuck you Blizzard

>>160843557
If you've got a pocket tassadar sure

>>160837250
He's only viable if a team is built around him. A good Murky can be fucking insane to deal with though. He requires premades. Killing him also accomplishes basically nothing as he respawns quickly and provides a quarter of the normal XP.

>>160844072
Is that because of Tassadar's waveclear and AoE + his ability to escape? I'll try to get a buddy to pick him later and see if that helps her out. I feel like the only thing I can do as Tracer is just blink in and pick off wounded heroes that might normally escape, which I suppose is more than some heroes bring to the table in team fights.

>>160844405
It's because he puts a big dick shield on you and you get heals when you do damage with the shield on you
Your survivability sky rockets and you can dive the backline a lot more comfortably

>all warriors getting baseline damage reduction
>all heals getting nerfed

FRIENDLY REMINDER:

Valeera will soon join the Nexus, there are some FACTS about her:

- she is a WOMAN.
- she is an elf.
- she mainly come because of HEARTHSTONE (RNG XD.)
- she is taking the rogue slot, THERE WONT BE ANOTHER ROGUE ON YEARS.
- she is easily the last of the 5 warcraft heroes on a row we'll have.
- She came (yeshh) before Maiev (never EVER.)
- she is fun and cute.

- YOU'll deal with all of this.

So yeah. In case your boipussy cannot deal with all these FACTS, there is an exercise that can help you. 3D print the model of WoW Ragnaros (because the hots one isn't super epikk) and slowly, but steadily, insert him in your boipuccy. Everytime you feel like not dealing with it, go 1cm further, sooner or later, daddy Ragnaros will make you cum like the little bitch you are and finally you'll deal with it. I promise.

I'm not used to playing squishies and I always feel like I will die if I even use leap ult, however it seems like most of her damage.

And when should I pick her in draft?

I am looking through my winrates, and found that in unranked draft, my winrate with support is 75% but is sub 50% with every other class. Why is that?

>>160849364
Cuz malf is op.

>>160849540
Malf isn't my most played hero though.

>>160849072
Whats wrong with both teams?

>>160849591
That doesn't matter, Malf is usually pick or ban and leaves the other unlucky side a worse pick for a healer.

Reminder to not answer questions like "Who leaked or said X" because that anon is probably the redditfag snitching this general

>>160849749
As in, I almost never play malf compared to other healers because he is usually banned. He shouldn't be inflating my winrate that much

>>160849752
Good tip desu. But stop giving the redditors attention.

How do you actually fight people? Whenever I play her, I feel like if anyone even remotely sneers at me, I'm dead. Especially now during Samuro free-week.

So no black Friday sale this year?

>>160854542
You learn to keep your distance and bait them into your hydralist and worms range, also if you are up to the task you can use the vile drop quest and the serrated spine quest to increase your damage, but its mostly about positioning.
Also abuse your creep soil, it gives extra attack range and movement speed for you and everything your spaw.

>>160854731
There is, but for some reason it hasn't taken yet today.

>>160832640
i disagree with your build. sometimes vulnerability is useless because your team would kill that target anyways imo corpse explosion and skeleton mastery can be way better if you are allowed to soak the lanes and arent under a lot of pressure

>>160857738
Corpse Explosion and Skeleton Mastery is also pretty good if you ARE under a lot of pressure.
When you're loosing heavily and you cant even soak safely, not even dare to actually push, you can pretty decently clear lanes by just sitting in lane on mount ready to escape and letting your skeletons do their job.

Mostly try to combo the telekenisis to pull them to you and use his Q.

Also if you get rid of any Sadism you're dumb. Sadism makes the DPS go round.

Trying Tassadar out in the shop led me to go "wtf this dude is lame as shit jesus this is boring how can anyone play him"
