new murky is strong but not broken
expect him to get nerfed a fair bit, especially his double health and shield on respawn synergy thing

lucio is not too groundbreaking in terms of healing, but can end up healing a good bit if his team keeps sticking together and he uses his amps well

>>168361506
Yeah. Her whirlwind heals more and deals more damage, and they buffed Poison Spear.

>>168361552
Yeah, it didn't do damage either.

>>168366710
Maybe it's Lucio boosting his team and they're tripping over them when they wouldn't at normal speed but I've been melting people all afternoon. Level 20 and it's just impossible for the other team to advance against yours, probably the best upgrade in the game.

>>168368759
Yes, quite over-rated. Have you seen KT on release?

>>168369797
Yes I've been playing since the alpha and was master league last season, samuro was by and far the strongest.

Because he was nerfed into the ground once people finally realized how to play him.

He would have a 100% winrate if not for the 4 lesser beings on his team
>Zeratul makes the greatest play of all time
>His teammates all die while b-stepping leaving the enemy core at 3%
This literally just happened in tournament the other day

Tassadar got a big change between PTR and now. Is he worth playing again?

>>168370732
Tassadar is still extremely powerful as a 2nd support, but intelligent players such as myself have realized Zarya and even Medivh are better than him.

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

>>168372307
I think you have bad memory.
She was nerfed hard several times in a row.
On release she even had an ATTRACTION ZONE on her long range skill shot. It was completely overpowered.

Name the hero you want in the game --

CHALLENGE MODE

Cannot use popular requests, (Kel Thuzad, Stukov, Whitemane, Infestor etc) cannot use WC3 playable characters, Overwatch characters, you get the idea

Mine: A hellion driver. Able to switch to hellbat mode. All the talents basically pimp your ride in various ways

>>168372721
>attraction zone
Just don't get hit by so you dont get sucked in
just walk towards it so you take less damage

Well, this feels about right.

We're caterers. Anyway, I don't care how shittily I did, if your stats as Illidan are worse than Malf's, something is very wrong. We could not kill people.

>>168372830
If we can't do popular requests, I'll pick Moira. Finish off the trio and be a solid pick for a priest representative.

Should I buy Sgt. Hammer or just straight up focus on Abathur/Sylvanas (both level 6) to get quests done? I've been wondering about her a lot, even though, I might need another tank or warrior in general, such as ETC, Arthas, Sonya, Leoric, Varian or Dehaka. Thoughts?

I love their designs
too bad they'd make zero sense in a MOBA. Alternatively ANYTHING from Ahn'Quiraj, but besides C'thun nothing is really iconic, and C'thun would be hard to do as a hero, an immobile abathur or something.

>>168373295
Yes even elf except Illidan has hit that

>>168373305
>too bad they'd make zero sense in a MOBA.
Just make Twin Emps like TLV.

C'thun could work as a core-replacer hero, like Rag was originally intended to be.

I once tried to theorycraft a kit for Skeram but jesus fucking christ his attacks are either boring or already covered in HotS.

>>168372830

Can I alt+F4 once game starts? Or just feed to make the game end faster?

Mimiron.
Super squishy ranged specialist, has to summon and control vehicles to fight.
Think D.Va but not OW cancer.
Heroics are either Firefighter difficulty or V-07-TR-0N.

>>168373732
The core replacer hero HAS to be the Overmind, NOT C'thun. C'thun could be an alternate skin for the Overmind though.

>>168374384
>not having a full team of core replacer heroes.

>>168374384
Yeah, Overmind would probably be better but as a hero I feel C'thun directly only works as a core-replacer himself.
Same with Yogg-Saron.

I'd personally really enjoy C'thun/Yogg being temporarily summoned as a heroic for one of their high-ranking minions like Skeram or Sara though.

I think The Overmind should definitely be a hero, but the Cerebrates would indeed make good announcers for a Zerg map. It's unfortunate they were glossed over for Braxis.

>>168379116
Yeah, I always play solo. It doesn't help that I don't know a few of the heroes' kits so my clones can be sort of limited to the ones I know most too. Though, I'm not sure if it's any benefit to clone a Greymane when you can just clone an ETC to accomplish more free damage from your team.

I'm honestly not sure what to play as Specialist. I have Azmodan, Sylvanas (which I'm fucking tired of) and Abathur.

anub over arthas, but with lucio everywhere now might be a good time to roll him some.
tychus plays awkward for me after playing so much other AA characters but if you like him he's good.

>>168381161
It really is annoying, he isn't even that much of a threat, or overpowered in any way, just annoying to fight.

>>168381530
I actually have Illidan at almost level 6. The bad thing that turned me off so bad about Illidan is that his damage is just a huge bummer because his top damage is straight up mediocre and you tend to get blamed for that. Yes, I know, I shouldn't pay attention to top damage chart but it still rubs me in a bad way.
Also, his Master skin blows dick.

Because of the WoW mount event. Lucio is not a warcraft hero. It's a pretty brilliant solution.

>>168380930
she was damage wise but i was also playing valla and tyrande a lot then too and knew better than to have retarded as fuck stutter step shootouts on low hp characters and especially not on one with a slower mount speed than them or anyone else for that matter. her only major effective change seems to have been health and animation fixes to help the suicidal players since then. still crushes anyone out of position or that misses a skill shot.

>tfw the enemy just sits in your Nonstop Remix vortex of AIDS

All in all Lucio seems underwhelming. He doesn't heal well and group healing has never been a huge concern in HotS. His damage is atrocious overall and he's glassy to the core.
Why would you ever pick him and not Auriel or Brightwing, who at least can shut down enemies?

>>168387468
He is pretty underwhelming. I forget that he's even there half the time.

>>168387468
As they were trying to be as accurate as possible with out making him too overpowered I think they didn't realize a major thing lucio does in OW is speed boost people from spawn back into the battle. But in hots that isn't nearly as relevant since you shouldnt be dying/respawn timers are significant longer. So I think his speed boost skill needs to do far more than it currently is.

>>168387468
>>168387618
>>168387686
Good. Overwatch heroes shouldn't be in this game.

>>168380180
Yeah, so unfortunately we'll probably never get any cerebrates in anything new. Which really sucks because I know a lot of people that wanted one as a co-op commander in SC2.

>>168388790
I hope we get Reinhardt and Zenyatta just to spite you.
Nobody else though. Ranged Assassin/Specialist: the cast is already taken by StarCraft.

I don't care much about Love Goddess Tyrande but the model they used for the skin looks noticeably better, and the second tint actually looks really good.

>murky is first ban material
what a time to be alive

>>168387468
blizzard even said in their preview that he should be played with second support.
Gotta test out if Lucio+Tassadar is stronger than Brightwing+Tassadar.

>Kill all Lucios who think they are hot shit as Roadhog
>Do the same thing as Stitches

YOU CAN'T HEAL IF YOU STOP EXISTING!

>>168390893
Stitches deals up to 200% more damage against heroes with his basic attacks for three seconds, depending on how far he hooked a hero.

Is he now better?

>>168391221
They could just make his next basic attack (within several seconds) deal significantly increased damage to his most recently hooked target and stun them, provided the target was at least X range away. No point-blank shenanigans.

>>168391221
I am fine how he is. Just have to learn to use your team and towers to take out high priority targets. A slight buff to make him a bit more tanky would be nice.

>>168391389
Yeah, that's why it was phrased as "up to 200% [...] depending on how far he hooked"

>>168391221
Honestly he just needs CC. Like his slam slows or something. Right now he's just a walking hook, but compare that to Varian.

Not to mention with Medivh you can just portal Varian on top of people. It's fucking insane that they think Varian is balanced and not only that but they keep buffing his taunt build.

>>168391221
I mean thats just a straight buff so yeah, he would be better

>>168392380
Would he be fixed Though?

I look forward to the day Nova and Gazlowe are not useless.

>>168381856
3 wins 7 losses

...

Silver 3

>>168393368
Nova isn't useless, but her use is extremely limited. She provides one major thing: a great big chunk of burst damage from a relatively long range. The problem is, many people bring the same thing but also with more, thus she is more superfluous than useless.

Gazlowe however is in a bizarre state of bringing a unique feature to the table (zone denial) while also having that feature being pretty much worthless (it's far easier to just circle around his death field on most maps). So he has a use, but it is a use without value, so... useless I guess.

Is Lucio a moving fountain of regeneration?

How the fuck this guy gets 80k healing in a single match?

>>168399262
A fuckton of little ticks of constant healing adds up.

>>168380930
Rexxar was worst on release

>>168399262
yes he has infinite heal and every 15 seconds he can activate super heal which heals everyone with same speed as the fountain

>>168399262
He's kind of like BW, except instead of Polymorph and the global presence, he has insane utility and burst 'heal' as well in his R1. I think Lucio >>> BW

>>168402145
I think he is very fun, and quite strong. Obviously does barely any damage but if you hang around with someone you are golden.

Out of 3 games I've died once, but then again its just quick match so plenty of plebs.

How does the speed boost from Lucio stack with other speed boosts? For example how fast does Lunara move with the speed boost

>>168403398
Try it, play as Lucio in traning mode with Lunara as your partner

>>168403398
very

>>168403448
Is Lucio able to keep up?

The new murky is still meh, since i can't still explode out of position assassins with him, they can still easily just run away

>>168393815
Each individual turret's strength has to be severely pumped up so that you can spread them out over a large area and each one is a menace. Not sure how you balance it so he doesn't just become a laning/splitpush menace however.

>>168393815
>circle around hi
good luck circling around objectives which are in every map pretty much

>>168403646
maybe, if he's fast enough

>>168403398
It stacks with his 20% wall speed too

>>168403646
I believe the answer is yes on the condition he can slide on walls occasionally. Sliding gives him a 20% speed boost for a few seconds, if I remember well. I think it's the same as Lunara's passive speed boost.

What rank is considered good?

Pufferfish takes too long to detonate. Even if you cast it before octo-grab, it ends just a sliver of second before puffer explodes, which allows mobile heroes to escape if they just spam their button

>>168407494
Gul'dan only has 1 DoT and Drain of Life, his Q is just a really boring ability. It should be a Siphon Life type ability which does DoT and returns health

How does Lucio speed boost affext mounted players? Are they better off running unmounted during amp it up?

>>168407769
>It should be a Siphon Life type ability which does DoT and returns health
So like the other spell he already has?

>>168407858
Drain Life is a channeled ability, not a true DoT

mmr decay is 100% not a thing in hots. Been playin since alpha and have taken a 4 month break recently come back and still doin just fine. Playin at exact same level as before.

>>168407735
And before you had to decide if you were going to kill murky and hope your teammates escapes or kill the pufferfish but now you can kill them both at the same time. Even the new tufferfish doesn't help since it doesn't get any extra hp. And the pufferfish talents are all at tiers where you'd never even consider taking them over other options.

Memes aside, Japan doesn't play most online PC games because of how isolated they are from the rest of the world. There's a small number of people playing but most PC gamers would be playing on an isolated Japanese server (e.g. TERA, Dota 2) or connecting to SEA servers.

Also because most Japanese play consoles or arcades or phone games, not PC games.

Given that Blizzard puts Japan in the Americas+SEA umbrella, they are probably going to be playing on SEA servers and that'll impact a lot of enjoyment for them because of the latency.

What made release Leoric so strong? I've only ever heard it alluded to in hushed whispers.

>>168410526
Uther AA do less dmg then Morales so yeah, he is pretty outdated

>>168417535
Only white is good for a battle pope

compared to sylv, how good is azmo at soloing forts?

>>168416386
everyone's gay for diablo

>>168417689
Great waveclear, great dmg, more tanky than now and faster respawn.

Was very common that Leo ended a game with best siege and hero dmg.

>>168417689
He spawned faster, did a shit load more damage, and had the best wave clear in the game. He wasn't the most broken thing every released but he was a monster.

Worst

I'm fairly new. I'm still discovering new heroes and I'm having fun with Specialists and some Assassins. I'm currently going to play a ton of Raynor, maybe make him my most played hero. I haven't played Diablo and Sylvanas that often nowadays, and Butcher is straight up ditched.

So, I just started playing for reason of wowmount.
How is Anub'arak? I always loved that guy in Warcraft lore. So far I have been playing Malfurion but I am interested in bugman.

>>168418148
He seems to be S tier now

>>168417764
Azmo is a good pusher because of his trait. Pop it in a lane during an objective and it can push hard.

Your taking Azmo for the dunks if your taking Azmo.

>>168417689
You know his Q?
Now make it do twice as much damage and full damage to non-heroic units as well

>>168418148
Good anit-mage tank.

>>168418148
Amazing against ability damage. He's great overall. Great engage.

>>168415159
zul'jin is fun as fuck famalam

>>168418119
Why is Butcher in the middle and not on the left when he's the most played?

>most wins as Diablo: 16

>have fun playing greymane after his Q build is good again
>do good as greymane
>never win a single game
just fuck this feel.
