Li-Ming STILL remains a busted sack of shit and will remain so until Calamity gets a goddamned damage nerf (while simultaneously bringing back its ability to hurt minions, at maybe half effectiveness.)

Or maybe even causing a debuff where you can't be clipped by teleport repeatedly within a period of time so Illusionist and Critical Mass don't fuck over anyone with less health than a goddamned Diablo, of all people.

Seriously, there is no way for a good three-quarters of the cast to talent against le teleporty facemelt of slutitude.

Why yes, I'm mad. And also frothing at the mouth about Artanis, better known as a useful Stitches.

>>168013393

Sorry, chuckles, not that immodest. I did take Superstition, and I tried to salvage it, but I had people constantly getting obliterated by her and Valeera.

I know full well HOW to counter her, but the fucking annoyance is that not every hero CAN, especially not the teleport build. Fuck, one of the earlier games I had yesterday was as Sonya talenting specifically to go after her blood and I still lost to her, namely because Malfaggotron wouldn't extract his roots from her ass,

Do I just mute everybody + ping and try my best or do I pick some kind of "soft solo carrier" (yeah, I know)?

>>168022849
I dunno, they lost because the behold from behind took them completely by surprise. I don't think any comp would fare well against that.

when do you pick a dps monk?

>>168023307
DPS monk is always better.

People just go healing because they think that sacrificing mid to lategame power for early game healing is worth it.

Since April 26th we've had 3 Overwatch heroes released. In that same period we've had 2 Diablo and Starcraft heroes combined.

What the fuck Blizzard.

>>168025134
If worst comes to worst during the laning phase you can just get camps and it's not exactly hard to get stacks. Besides Kharazim isn't exactly easy to kill.

ah... the familiar scent of.... death......

>>168025218
>Overwatch is a brand new game and is very popular
>Diablo and Starcraft came out in the early 2010s and are both dead
What else do you expect?

>>168025134
I really do get why you would take iron fists in a pro setting and at higher levels, but at low levels you can easily stack insight by like 9 mins into the game and the raw healing output helps you keep the baddies who don't understand that walking out of the blizzard means that they'll stop getting hurt alive

>>168025218
HotS has a pretty tight Hero-release-schedule, I imagine the Overwatch characters are just there to save time since its easy to port their models over. I mean look at the Lucio skin that is literally just a repurposed Overwatch-Skin

>>168025597
She's the retard scrub's best assassin.
Low skill floor, low skill ceiling.

>>168025285
Speaking of Monk- what do you guys usually take on 13? I've found that I really like the deadly reach duration increase given it lets you have 95% uptime on deadly reach with a fully stacked insight. I know that spell sheild and sixth sense can be situationally useful but is the dash speed ever really a good pick up? I feel like you can just dash in and W to get a move speed increase regardless of it.

>>168025656
>Low skill floor, low skill ceiling.
That's Raynor.
Valla is advanced basics, so more like low skill floor, medium skill ceiling.

I get why Blackhearts Bay is out by default at these Blizz tournaments.

But why are Haunted Mines and Garden of Terror out? I feel the new Mines is pretty fair and Garden of Terror never felt bad to me.

>>168025857
old mines was unbalanced as fuck, but new mines is just a terrible version of BoE

>>168025857
Garden is just a dull map- things liked having to B back to base to drive the plant artificially inflate the time it takes to do anything on the damn map. At least D shire has the obj in the middle of the map and the beacons make for some interesting counterplay

>>168025857

>>168025857
>I get why Blackhearts Bay is out
I don't follow high level play so I don't. Care to enlighten?
I have a 75% winrate on bay

>>168028191
Snowballs harder than an avalanche.

If both teams have enough for a turn in and one wins the teamfight at ol' Blackheart, the losers just financed the winners second turn in. The destroyed structures give EXP, giving more advantage to those who already turned their coins in, and makes it way more dangerous to go out getting coins since there's no keeps to quickly retreat back to.
If you get a bit of leverage early on, it stays throughout the game and gets amplified a lot.

You can also throw that map hard, our tank lost 30 coins once and we couldn't stop them from just handing them in three times in a row even with two of their keeps destroyed. But that's rare, really.

Upgrade at 20 is that they have more damage and global cast range.

I am so tired of meme faggots with their valeeras, which hero is valeeras biggest nightmare?

>>168029982
Deals 200% extra damage against non-heroic targets.

At level 20, Rain of Destruction no longer needs to be channeled, but deals 20% less damage.

The random nature hurts this ult. It sucks for teamfights thus, because not only are you not dealing guaranteed damage, you're also stuck not using your other abilties. So make it useful for sieging instead, and the ult upgrade turns it into a proper teamfight ult.

>>168030307
murky

>>168030316
The problem is, it's spread out over far too large of an area and there aren't enough bolts to be useful. I've stood in his Rain of Fire and not moved and still not been hit.

>>168030405
As I said, the random nature hurts. If you don't have to channel it and can still actively contribute, it becomes a truckload better as a zoning + DPS tool.

>>168030381
are you stupid son?
valeera will explode murky in a nanosecond and then to stomp his blue fish balls even further he will use her cloak to pop his egg sitting near the enemy fort and walk away barely with a scratch

>>168030307
Anyone with a skillshot to pop her out of stealth.

Does this mean anything? That my QM league is apparently platinum? I could use the ego boost.

>>168030828
Monstrosity's cooldown now begins the second it was used.
It takes 50% reduced damage from non-heroic sources.
Deep Tunnel is now baseline for it.

At Level 20, its cooldown is reduced by 40 seconds and the monstrosity gains stacks twice as fast. You can have multiple monstrosities at the same time.

>>168030828

Go for ambush build (it's about 3.3k dmg burst in 1 second) in QM, its almost as fun as ganking lowbies in STV.

Ironically enough Blizzard developed this design philosophy because of the software-limitations of WoW, where all armor were just textures EXCEPT helmets and shoulderpads, which in turn became increasingly big and complex since they were the only real outlet of visual design and power-level continuation

At least I think thats why they're so obsessed with huge shoulders and useless attachments, feel free to correct me.

Jesus. I guess if I stopped playing off and on I'd have more than one level ten.

>>168047996
I was always under the impression that it was because those parts, along with gloves tend to be some of the more visible parts of a particular character in general play, and it just kinda evolved from the huge shoulders that were used to display team colors in Warcraft. You're not going to be seeing a whole lot of your chest when you're out murdering things, after all.

>>168051953
Thats also my plan get everything to 10 and only buy masterskin with gold. They are mostely the best anyways

I'm pretty new to this and all I ever play are Reh'gar and Johanna. It usually works since my group picks up the DPS/specialists, but I have run into a few cases where I needed to have a mage or assassin handy.

Are Tychus and Gul'Dan good ideas? I really like transforming characters like Tass and Illi, but is picking Odin a really dumb idea with the laser providing an extra body in teamfights? Is Gul'Dan a good pick if there's only one more damage dealer, or should I go for a more magic artillery character like Li Ming?

>>168053198
Gul'dan and Tychus are both top picks. Odin is the better heroic in most cases except when there's a strong diver on the enemy team that goes for you all the time.

Tychus you can always pick. Gul'dan not so much but I'm pretty sure you're not at a level yet where it matters. Below masters Gul'dan is probably always good thanks to his strong waveclear.

>>168053198
Gul'dan is a great depending on what you need, but Tychus is a pretty solid pick all around. Odin is great for teamfights, laser is more an interrupt ult.

>>168053696
what happened in that patch?

>>168053912
Not just cocky motherfuckers, but people who also have no idea how to fucking manage their time between objectives, properly soaking experience from lane minions, and jungling when it's necessary. People need their fucking handheld so often it's insane. More often than not they end up trying to pick fights with the enemy team for absolutely no reason, as for the first 1/3rd of the game or so, kills yield less experience than minion waves, the only real benefit to it is trying to get them to miss out on exp soak.

However, this community is so fucking retarded they give up soaking on their own just to try and chase kills, so they themselves end up fucking their team up exp-wise. So then YOU have to try and make up for their mistakes, but while you're doing that, they're off being stupid fucks and making it worse. So it becomes a vicious cycle wherein a single person truly cannot carry unless the enemy team is absolutely retarded and does not capitalize at ALL on the mistakes of your teammates.

>>168066991
Depends what map you're playing. On a small one like Tomb of the Spider Queen you can stack that shit by the 4-6 minute mark. Play safe, don't overextend whatever you do, even if your team does. Make sure you're safe at all time until it's done. Then you can go into the inevitable retard mode.

Try to land D + E on as many as you can and try to fit a small Flamestrike on there, but for stacking in general using D for Q is the safest.

KT is a late game hero and shines at level 16+, try to survive the early game. I don't really see the point in going Living Bomb anymore, Flamestrike does its job better?

>>168068473

>tfw don't even remember the heroes announced recently

I was hoping for personal preference replies instead of meta. It does make sense. What other heroes work in most if not all comps?

>>168068690
I'm talking about bstep.

>>168068475
I agree that Flamestrike is just plain better now. However on some games I see pesky Valeera's sneaking and instagibbing me, even if it's in the middle of my team and results in her death. Sure, it usually ends 1 death to each side, but I generally cannot stack my Qs and feel useless. I played one game where I knew I wouldn't stack (Illidan + Valeera + Nova) with Fury of the Sun King + Master of Flames and it looked pretty neat. Wasn't ranked though, so that's why I'm curious. Flamestrike fully stacked is better though ofc.

Hadn't thought of D+ E. Will try!

>>168068891

Oh yeah, I was thinking out of a ranked perspective. In QM I usually check enemy team comp first and see if I can stack, you can always try to force it, stacking becomes very easy later on when the flamestrike strikes twice.

Against a heavy stealth team I'd probably go for a more safer build too, Mana Addict like that other guy mentioned, or even try out the AA build with talents in Verdant Spheres. Although I have no clue if its bad, okay or good since I don't really play KT in QM anymore.

My advice: try out different shit and see what works

Am I the only one who wants to see HOTS do more OC heroes based on iconic units from SC/WC?

I'd much rather see an OC Firebat hero or an OC Goblin Shredder than see fucking Malthael or Velen or whoever

I got mixed felling about OC heroes. Now I have nothing against Hammer, I like myself a war loving Alabama girl. I even think it's nice that they added a small bit of lore by making it so that Tychus knows her

That said I probably would have preferred if Duke was the one in a tank, even if he does spend most of Starcraft in the ship instead of the tank.

Also is there even a named Firebat character in the Starcraft games?

My biggest issue with OC Heroes is that they're replacing, like, the original characters, which can be problematic.
