What would be the second skin for Kel'Thuzad?
Necromancer or Archmage?
>>169815103
Probably neither because the base model will be a lich.
>>169815103
Vanilla would be his undead lich form
Master skin would be Kirin Tor KT

>>169815103

You probably make some animal flavored drink (Lili?Chen?) out of this, considering that animals get drunk from the marula fruit.
I'm so getting tired being matched daily vs the same fucking 5 man stack. It's been 5 days in a row, same fucking enemy, 5 solo vs 5 stack. And worst, 2 consecutive games vs the same group. What the fuck blizzard?

I'm not sure if the Warbringer changes were really a nerf outside Master League.
>>169818838
no one in lower leagues played Warbringer anyway
Today i'll prove that Personal Adjustment -40 is a real thing. Next match will be deciding if this is a 10th loss streak or it breaks the curse
>>169818838
I tried a game where i swapped warbringer for the immune during parry talent yesterday and it actually worked out pretty well. Sucks not being able to charge as often but i feel like i can go ham on an enemy with no regard now. Atleast until both parries are on cooldown.
>>169819436

im playing mostly support and some warrior and my teammates keep doing questionable plays which end up fucking me
whats the point of having Diamond MMR if you're going to be ranked with fucking bronze decision making?
>>169819735
Playing support is a huge mistake, no matter what you do, you always get to see people go in solo, ignore objectives, get ganked, start flaming and when things are looking a little bright then someone DCs
>>169819842
I'm not sure whether I agree with you. Auriel is the reason I climbed so quickly but I rarely support anymore now.. hmm

stop playing that shitty hero
We need more dragons in the game and I'm not talking about dragons in there "human" form (Chromies guise is a gnome, but you get what I mean).
Deathwing, Alexstrasza, Ysera and so on in there dragon from.
Scaling shouldn't be the problem, just look at Sgt. Hammer
>>169822118
Ill never play Support again in Hero League thats what ill do
>>169821525
cause it restores mana?
>>169822271
>Scaling shouldn't be the problem, just look at Sgt. Hammer
Or Azmodan. Or Ragnaros.
I'd play the shit out of Deathwing but I NEVER want to see his shit human form in HotS, EVER
>>169822271
If anything the only likelihood is that they would be in their guise and take on dragon form when they ult. Any other concepts for Deathwing or Alexstrasza are delusions
>>169822465
good guess! being a priestess of the moon and firing sentinels all day really puts the oo in oom
>>169822660

>justlikechromie.jpg
>>169823045boop
>>169823298Boop.
>>169823045
But that's a created character, they can make the dragon 20 feet or whatever that is. Deathwing is like 100 feet. A midget in a tiny tank is one thing, it's not too much of a stretch. Deathwing would be destroyed as a result of scaling this severe.
why dont people play arthas more
>>169823450
look at >>169822621
Ragnaros and Azmodan are working just fine
>>169823045
The problem with Hots is they have to take characters that already exist and copy the looks from the blizzard universe, rather than creating interesting new characters. HotS is just an ad game for other blizzard product.
I do wish they had more creative freedom, but people scream and shout when characters like Lunara or Brightwing are introduced because they didn't exist in the blizzard universe before.
>>169823634
weak off-tank.
>>169823634
Arthas into melee comps
Anub into caster comps
>>169823045
they had to cheat a little with the fact that he's ethereal below "waist" so he looks proper without having ridiculous long hitbox.
>>169822271
Malygos or Kalecgos with an aura that increases teams spell damage would be amazing
>>169823760
But you notice that Rag gets closer to his actual size when he uses his trait. They did that for a reason because obviously it's what the character actually represents.
Similarly, if we get a scaled down Deathwing, he will absolutely have some sort of map-rending ability, and, will turn into what his size ought to be to do so.

Jesus christ I am still stuck in master as a crusader. Can someone advise me on skills and gems?
>>169828285
>>169828285If you're only level 60 just drop down to expert and get to 70. Monster scaling can be weird leveling up, especially in the range you're in right now. Once you hit 61 craft as much new gear for yourself as you can and it should last you to 70 just fine.
>>169828573What about gems? I replaced all of my diamond ones with strength ones before and it seemed to do almost nothing to my damage, so I just put the diamond ones back.
>>169828915Keep the best ruby you have in the helm for xp bonus, other than that it really doesn't make too much difference. Item level is probably a bigger factor for you right now

Zagara is a good pick there. Not on the map but in this draft.

>all random talents from different rows
I don't think you understand how this meme works anon.
>>169833736
How do memes work?
>>169834184
Well specifically that one is a comparison of the various items, from worst to best. Hence the increased brain activity/power. If the items are unrelated, it's kind of pointless.
>>169831459
>murky is hard
>valeera is hard
Pressing cheapshot is truly a difficult task.
>>169834559
All melee assassins are kinda hard.
>>169834559
>only use cs
You just prove she's too hard for you anon.
>>169831459
The ratings are probably random. Illidan is rated medium and murky is hard, so they are saying murky is harder to play than Illidan. Murky really should be easy
>>169834734
I mean there's nothing to really press. Ambush is only good against squishy assassins and only really works if you go full ambush build which is generally not a good idea. Garrote build can work but it's not super good, disables the enemy with a minor amount more damage but they can still move.
Cheapshot is just all around the best ability to use, disables the enemy so they can't do anything, lines them up for an easy burst, works in teamfights, fucks them up so your team can gangbang them.

Edmund Duke in a Battlecruiser.
I could settle for not a Battlecruiser though.
Maybe he's a crotchety old guy smoking a cigar and wielding a shotgun while wearing power armour but sitting on a motorised rocking chair while a Battlecruiser silhouette is permanently shadowing him.
Heroics are the obvious Yamato Gun firing an AoE nuke, and the second would be Duke beaming up to the Battlecruiser to take more direct control and then3 tiny Scourge shadows flying into view and blowing up the Battlecruiser sending it crashing into the battlefield in a straight line while Duke screams like an Academy, stunning and damaging enemies in his path.

nothing matters aside from your weapon until 70. only takes a little bit of thought to work out what to do after that between 1h/2h synergies.
and like the other guy said drop down because you are just fucking yourself grinding because the drops don't get better evenly with difficulty (while exp goes so you basically outlevel the content with no upgrades). if you aren't blowing through elites in <10 seconds you're doing it wrong.
>>169846885

Duke's voice actor is dead, would it even be Duke if some random person is voicing them? I mean they replaced him as Zeartul because Zeratul was still an important character, but Duke there would be no point.

They said we are getting a hero reveal Friday.
>>169851992
I pick napalm instead of the giant bullet, and I will try to position myself from where the enemy team came in fights so that I can ambush them if they try to fall back with the first stealth perk keeping em hidden. No bushes required.
>>169852152
Its a huge event so my bet is on
>Duriel & Stukov reveal
>New UI/Loot system
>New skins and whatever the loot rewards are
>>169852612
>duriel & stukov reveal
>not human stukov and infested stukov reveal
>38:51 brawl
Fucking christ why doesn't backing heal you? Every time you wipe them you're almost dead, can't push core, and can't heal either. What a fucking piece of shit game.
>>169852758
Human stukov will be a stupid fucking rare or epic skin
You can't win BHB without teamfighting. It just isn't possible, right? One Xul kept avoiding teamfighting, which worked for a while, we were up two levels.
But then it came time to fight and it seemed as though we had nothing we could do. It was Varian, Anub, Lucio, Kael and Falstad. I felt so helpless.
>>169846128
>>169852994
Fuck that desu, I want a vice admiral Alexei Stukov commandeering his battlefleet
>>169853752
It's not going to happen.
>>169853392
If your composition has no teamfight value, you're in for a bad time regardless of map or skill level.
Meme push teams work below gold, but you will always feel like your fights are a massacre without a well composed team comp, with clear counterplay. Heroes that are "good on the map" do not necessarily mean they are always good picks, people just don't get that.
Why is every Leoric so fucking useless?
And why the fuck did I come back to this game. I hate the playerbase.
>>169854668
Because you're a faggot.
>>169854748
>tfw prefer the models of morrowind to the potatoheads of oblivion
might go back and play both while waiting for this patch/update/teaser, desu
>>169854429
No fucking shit
>>169854668
Lucio is literally BEST. And you hate the game because you're bad at it obviously. You blame "retard teammates" as you refuse to body soak on Abathur and only play QM or insta-pick shit heroes like Azmodan because "lol stupid team imma carry u by not helping ever" kind of players that don't deserve to have opinions.
>have difficulties in getting interested in the game due to pure valeera and varian
>try out leoric
>it's vs valeera, nova, samuro and varian

Between this and League, I'm not sure what's more frustrating.
>>169823450
Aurelion is bigger than PLANETS
>>169823450
When they put Deathwing in, he will BE the map.
The lanes will be paths up and down his spine and if there's too much teamfighting on one lane, he'll roll to that side, dumping off anyone who doesn't stick themselves down.
>>169855115
This game is VERY unforgiving because of the length of matches. You have to be on top of your positioning and what you can get away with at all times or you fucking lose or die constantly. In League, you have an hour to fuck up and get OP items and shit and whichever team wins is the one with less retards on it that can farm a few fucking items in an hour. In HotS, if two friendly heroes dies at 8 minutes you can lose to a YOLO Core rush if you don't defend properly. At least if you lose it usually isn't after 40 minutes of RAT strats and bullshit, you just fucking lose and queue again and it doesn't waste your time.

I'd be down with that, what would the minions be?
>>169855613
Tentacles and toxic bloods, just like the spine encounter in Dragon Soul

Yeah, we got hosed. I thought we had a good comp too, Zarya, Artanis, Xul, Gul'dan and Malf, but we got completely crushed in every teamfight.
I appreciate the advice. I need to be more mindful with my picks. My only win tonight ended up being a 32 minute game on Mines of all things, as Tassadar picked into Valeera. I ended up dying to her a billion times anyway until Level 20 Archon.
>Tfw all of your favorites are either just shit heroes who underperform when compared to like 8 other heroes, or are flat out so easily counterpicked, picking them is pointless in almost every situation.
i hate these devs

How would you differentiate the kits of the Paladin and D2 Barb from the Crusader and D3 Barb? Someone posted a really neat paladin concept a while ago, but I'd like to see your ideas too.
>>169855772
>Diablo II's Barbarian
That'd be great, make him into a support/specialist with abilities based on Warcries
Q-Battle Cry: Gives allies Evasion for 2 seconds
W-Find Potion: Gives allies a Regeneration orb
E-War Cry: Stuns enemy heroes in a conic area
R1- Grim Ward: Places an indestructible ward that reduces enemy armor, takedowns empower it but this bonus is lost upon death.
R2-Battle Command: Increases ability damage done by allies by 10% for each ally affected by it.
D-Howler: Has 25 physical armor, can activate it to gain 50 physical armor for 5 seconds.

>>169858298
I like the shoutiness theme you're going for, but knowing Blizzard, they'd find some way to meme it up with some sort of Fus Roh Da reference.
And if they don't, the underage shitfucks playing the game will.
Why don't they have more interconnected shit? Imagine if you had to hit 70 in a d3 season to unlock a unique mount/profile pic for hots/WoW and they did that every season?
>>169860569
>Why don't they have more interconnected shit? Imagine if you had to hit 70 in a d3
Because no one plays that terrible fucking game.
Literally a dead game, and rightfully so. The next event is probably going to be hearthstone related.
>>169846128
Daggoth
>win 10 out of 11 games
>followed by 12 game loss streak
>demoted back to d4
I really don't understand how some of these people end up in diamond. Especially after blizzard said they were decreasing the population.
I'd say 75% of my games are draft throws with no CC, because none of these players know how to draft. Even after being told how retarded they are.
>>169864168
Back when the season started there was a like n10 GM who didn't know how to play at all and he was in every fucking stream until people catch up in points and he was demoted to nothing.
The point is you can be carried by your team.
>>169858013
There's a lot of combinations and you don't even have to use what's actually viable because you can just make it viable. Like someone said I think it would be completely reasonable for them to make the alt genders their own heroes
>>169861165
Like sc2 and hots? Both continue to get content out the ass. Diablo is one of their core franchises they could easily rehabilitate if they stopped fucking around with garbage like overwatch. They are probably just trying to figure out how to implement a cash shop.
>>169838330
people joke around about waifu and shit on the net
but I would genuinely love to fuck maiev (or any other hot as fuck nelf tbqh) for the rest of my life. not memeing at all. i'd instantly fuck a hot nelf.
>>169864865
They already tried a real cash auction house and it was a complete fucking failure
>>169865986
He probably meant cash shop for Overwatch, but it already sells loot boxes, so I don't know what he's going on about.
>>169866224
Still waiting on loot boxes for HotS
>>169866405
Unless they're going to get me the real skins, I don't even care.
>>169852612
There will be only one hero revealed on friday. The schedule shows 10 minutes for reveal nd another 20 minutes for panel about him/her on sunday. That's barely enough time.
They don't want to show too much ahead, that's why In-Dev videos haven't had two heroes in them for a while. This way you can hype twice as frequently. Prepare for this year's Blizzcon to only show one hero too.
bampo
I really wish Blackthorne was in hots
>all these 7k and 10k heroes i want
>only got 10k
fufufufu
>>169871427
I don't think I ever fell below 60k gold in the last 10 months, and I own 90% of heroes in game, never spending IRL cash.
How are you so poor?

It really doesn't take much.
also; finally being able to buy skins with wow gold.
WHEW
>>169871573
shit anon I've been playing pretty regularly since beta Iquit for a few months around the time tracer chromie medivh came out since I played murky mostly and they made me ragequitI hope you fucks are enjoying him now especially how much everyone shit on me when they saw me playing himand I only have a total of around 300k gold earned and only have about half the cast 4 master skins and a few gold mounts and well over 1k games
how many matches do you have?
>>169871946
Around 3k games, been playing since late alpha.
As anon >>169871902 said, it doesn't take much on daily basis, but you have to play the game without brakes, log in twice-thice a week and play a few games.
Then again, people yesterday were bitching on OW reddit about rank decay if you don't play at least 7 games a week, claiming they barely have time for 2-3, so maybe I'm just a loser with no life and every other person on the planet can't handle finding 2 hours a week of free time.
>>169871573
I started playing this game a month ago and it's the first MOBA I've ever played
>>169872316
Ah, well then don't throw yourself at 10k heroes immidiately. 2 and 4k heroes are plenty fine.
Alternatively, I hate to be a Blizzshill, but there is a bundle with ALL 2k heroes for like 5 bucks, it's a ridiculously great deal if you are completely new.
Have fun anon, I hope you stay...forever
>>169872316
Oh, then that's normal and completely fine. Gold is mostly just from sticking around, not necessarily playing a lot or being good.
>dailies
>brawl
>event (200 per win, or something)
That's the bulk of your income. There's also grinding Vs. AI on Hammer/Sylvanas with a stim for, like, 40-50 a win, but that's all tedious and gross.
>>169872447
Seconding this. I'm the biggest jew around but they did have some bundle was that a pretty okay value if you're fresh.
>>169872283
the game left alpha less than 800 days ago
at 3k games that averages almost 4 games a day every day which is around 2 hours a day give or take if you arent playing against bots which isnt really playing the game
>>169872590
That sounds about right. My routine is playing 2-3 games an evening, then every other saturday or so I'd get sucked in a friend's 5-man party and waste the day playing between 8 and 13 games.
And I do play a lot more vs AI than I'd prefer, when I wan't to just clear quests; like when I come back from a trip or didn't have time for evening games for a few days.
>5000 games played
>literally 90% Vs. AI
help why do they include afk training games in the counter, I want to hide my shame
>portrait reward is peak rank
>not ending rank
>bronze is more difficult than diamond
ahhh
Is solo tank as Varian possible?
>>169872956
Fuck that shit Anon. Let everybody know that you're a Grand Master AI player
>>169872956
could be worse. im 99% ai. solo.
>>169872956
>>169873846
There are people in this game that play since alpha and never did a match against non-AI opponents.

>about to get demoted to d5
>-20 personal adjustment
Good game you've got here Blizz. So glad I'm forced to pair up with feeding shitters. I swear to god 90% of the diamond playerbase have 0 game knowledge.
This game doesnt even put me on tilt. I've just accepted the fact that there's nothing I can do to convince these people not to pick shit comps or engage 5v3.
>>169871902
If you buy a wow token with gold how much bnet currency does it convert to?
>>169872956
I feel you.
I get embarassed whenever people from /hotsg/ add me.
>>169874928
85-90k to $15, I think.
>>169875048
I could've sworn that at one point Vs. AI (or at least Training) matches weren't counted. Am I crazy? Ahhh.
>>169874231
Shit, that'd make me play Johanna.
>>169872447
I got all the heroes in that bundle already, but I was thinking about buying the conqueror bundle that has Butcher and a 30day stimpack. The game is already free and it's only like 15-20 yurodollars so why not desu
>>169872581
Yeah I've played every brawl up until now, most of my games are AI games though since I'm not very good yet. And there's only like 10 gold per match in that
None of the bundles have the heroes that I really want though ;_>;
>>169874928
depends on if you're euro or not, its super expensive on eu, p cheap on us

>>169882209
Queuing into QM with him is actually pretty difficult sometimes.
If the matchup is wonky (which it will be 50%+ of the time) you'll have a difficult time getting into the fight without dying.
I'd recommend him because it teach anyone, even diamond or above players, some fucking patience. And not patience like "wait for the right moment to gank" patience, the kind of patience where you have to stand around helplessly for ten seconds before getting 2 attacks in and then either committing to the fight though you're incredibly likely to die or run away.
His laning is also pretty difficult since his trait is useless against hard pushers like Rag.
>>169882417
Earlygame against ranged makes me want to kill myself really, and nobody in my team wants to swap lanes
>>169882560
Just need to poke with q and stay under towers
His trait makes it so that your lane doesn't get pushed too hard and only engaging when your d is up will help preserve your health so that you don't have to hearth twice before the first objective.
>>169882136
>executioner
Dont listen to bronze
>>169884402
I'm almost always low on mana, so taking scythe cooldown has never been something I wanted.
The vulnerable on bone prison only helps during ganks, otherwise no one really jumps on the guy you bone in teamfights.
Executioner procs off your e and has insane synergy with your w, it also triggers multiple times during a teamfight, typically netting more damage than vulnerable.
The trait talent is never that good, even if you take the otehr trait talents.
it just doesn't do much that late into the game, it's fine on Tomb though..

>>169889280
>soon
"In the works" for Blizzard could mean any time in the next four years.
>>169889409
All the heroes mentioned earlier in the post were literally next 4 heroes released. If KT wasn't going to be finished soon, he'd mention other heroes that were at this point in the works too, but at more advanced stage, like Lucioand Stukov
Kel'Thuzad is cool and all but I don't get why he's the top request
Then again I can't come up with anything better so thats probably why. I don't get the Maiev memery though
>>169890154
He's a popular figure in WC3 lore and a 2x raidboss in WoW including being the hardest raid boss of the original game
>>169890228
Meh i think c'thun was tougher assuming you're not breezing by with naxx gear
>>169890154
Not to mention plebs like me who haven't played him as a raid boss got to experience him via Hearthstone
>>169889280
>according to the leak
The leak is no longer accurate, they specifically threw in a bunch of garbage to spite it.
>>169890154
I didn't get Maiev too, didn't care for her much lore-wise.
But one day during a talk with a friend there came up a kit for her; a stealth sorta' Anub'arak warrior, with low (for a warrior) HP but high mobility with blinks and good CC
And now I want her and I know it'll never be, but maybe some senpai at Blizz will notice.
>>169890304
C'thun was mathmatically impossible when released although after the fix he was still extremely hard, but yeah with equal levels of gear Kel'thuzad was more difficult and the last boss of the game
>>169890958
Well maybe your're right, i only did it with well geared people and some nasty shamans

No chance Stukov's gonna be next Abathur. He'll be more like Gazlowe/Xul/Zagara. Never really inside the proper fight, but always at the outskirts and throwing shit.

what's the most believable way to throw games ?
I want that bronze portrait but my mmr seed is in diamond this season
>>169892517
Q throw corrosive spit deals damage and lowers armor by 10
W summon batch of infested, work like anub beetles last 15 second
E throw acid vat slowing people in the puddle and light damage
D channel 2 seconds to Infest building, friendly forts gain 2nd health bar, get disabled but spawn 4 infested every 5 seconds, enemy firts just get disabled for half the time
R1 fuckhuge cooler ultralisk than kerrigan
R2 fuckhuge flying battleship that infests all structures for it's duration and drops infested everywhere, very small damage similar to Hyperion to enemy units in range
>>169893339
pick off meta and play overly aggressive
>>169893339
misfiring displacment spells like booping people into your team as lucio or never healing as malf to "save mana for W"
hyper aggression and fearless tanks also can bait your team in
>>169892517
I don't want unique mechanics, I just want him for the looks.
I want him to be generic chill in lane and throw summons specialist.

Butcher skin

He's one of the most important Warcraft characters that they haven't added yet. It also doesn't help that around two or so years ago, they showed off a HotS model for him at Blizzcon, so a ton of people got hyped for him and are still running off that hype today.

Also preemptive stuns during the startup, most cleansers, high ranged damage you didn't catch will fuck you up.

HL did it for me since I only care to play a few heroes (meme heroes that don't get nerfed) I don't care to buy more heroes since they're not meme-tier and/or meta--which just gets nerfed, pick/ban 24/7 anyway.

Guys, is there anyone who got out of gold hell and what hero did you use?
I got most luck with Alarak but sometimes I'm forced to last od 2nd before last pick and have to heal or tank which is auto loose since my team keeps solo diving like headless chickens.

>>169909776
Most likely specialist that counters meme splitpushing.
Like, more than Ragnaros anyway, that one's strength is countering a single stron push
>>169902561
Please, be literally ANY protoss but Karax. That garbage character was nothing but literally dwarf protoss. NOTHING MORE. Give us Selendis, Vorazun or Rohana. A female protoss would be really neat, but more than anyone else, give us Fenix, he was the most requested character for a whole goddamn year.
>Karax confirmed
>can finally build a full Protoss team
Inferior lifeforms swerve.
>>169906927
I have 120 wins, 90 losses and I went up from Gold 5 to Gold 3. Even when you're doing fine, it still sucks.
>>169910507
If he was Dwarf Protoss he would actually be a good character. Instead he's more like CSI Protoss.
>Our one Starcraft character this year is going to be Karax.
So fucking stupid.
>>169910507
There's nothing Fenix or Vorazun would add to the game.
Everything they wanted for Fenix was implemented in both Artanis and Leoric. There's no mechanic left for him. We already have a Protoss Templar.
Vorazun would just be Zeratul 2.0 feat. memedashing all over the place while invulnerable.
Selendis does nothing but slurp Amoncock.
>but m-muh waifus
No.
>but m-muh diversity, still no femproto-
Not an argument.
Karax atleast has a niche as phasesmith, focusing on buildings, which translates nicely into a HotS specialist. No Purifier beam though, little sad about that.
>>169911254
See your limiting yourself to named characters. We could have had an Adept or something.
>>169911254
I just want a fucking dragoon, is that so hard?
>>169911710
Just put Selendis as an adept, why couldn't she be one? She's barely developed anyway, but she'd look genuinely cool in adpet armor. Plus, full protoss team could've used ranged assassin. But I guess they're getting a specialist.
So what was up with that spanish twitter post from two days ago? Some Blizz guy answered that we could've already seen the new hero in some other teaser picture *wink wink*. But there were only Stukov eggs, where could've possibly been Karax?
>>169903884
>>169903954
>more starcraft heroes announced during a random event than during the starcraft themed event
that would be so depressing yet so hilarious
>>169912196

PROBE HERO
How fucking bad is the average player when i can literally go every game double up to 7 times more siege damage and experience than other teammates, double or triple XP contribution, somewat high hero damage, literally taking EVERY BUILDING and several objectives, yet they sperg out, manage to die 4v3 in their favor with literally all 4 of them dying to 3 people... and then they blame me.
Cancerous game
NEWSFLASH: No one cares about characters added because of what they "add". We care because they are characters from previous games we've grown attached to. Karax is a boring as fuck character. Chromie is a boring as fuck character. Li Li is boring. No one actually likes Lúcio.
We DO like Fenix, Grommash, Kel'Thuzad, Malthael, Maiev etc
>>169902561
"My war has been one of design."
>>169912953
I don't like Maiev, but I'd rather have her than Karax. At least her and Illidan's interactions might be amusing.
>>169913051
He better be well fucking designed mechanically! This fat faggot cost us Stukov, at least make him fun to play. Two beta characters with dreadlocks instead of chill yet badass russian.
starcrafters sell this hero to me
who is this lorax guy and what does he do
Maybe we're getting both Stukov and Karax.
With them both we could finally have a full Protoss and a full Zerg team. We still need two more Terrans for the full Terran team.
>>169913221
Wait, Rastafarian man of many voodoos and psionics was announced? Nice, always liked Tosh. Why would you call him a beta though? He's black, that makes him the alpha cucker in every room by default.
>>169913358
He's a phasesmith (architect), he builds things that buff/spawn guys.
>>169913358
>>169913358
Blizzard felt the protoss needed a dwarf on the Spear of Adun, so he is that. NOTHING MORE. Most boring character of the whole game.
>>169913704
Karax. Not Tosh.
>>169913525
>Raynor
>Tychus
>Morales

We have 5 already. No tank, but you can use Rexxar or Muradin if you have the proper skins.
>>169913951
Forgot about Morales and Hammer. Still, Swann when?
>>169913802
Sound unbiased as fuck lol
>>169913051
How does a protoss even grow a neckbeard?
>>169913358
He is pretty much space gazlowe
>>169913848
But you said dreadlocks. The fuck is your problem? Their nerve links look nothing like that.
Rohana pls...
why even hope...
>>169906927
How can anyone believe forced 50 is a myth?
Every time you win, the game puts you against higher mmr opponents until you start losing, then it starts notching your mmr down respectively. competitive multiplayer games have had this for years.
>>169914285
With lots of care and love.
>>169909681
Seconded.
>>169914090
Play the goddamn game. There is literally nothing unique about him. Dwarf Protoss.

So sad...
[spoilers]It'll take some time but I'll do it! Now I hope Stukov doesn't get announced...[/spoilers]
If this Karax dude can spawn protoss dudes and all that shit. I'm all up for that. I love the theme of spawning an army, kind of like Azmodan.

Most likely he'll warp in buildings; cannons and shield generators.
If he gets any units, it'll be heavy machinery like maybe a Collossus will be his ult.
>>169915136
He makes machines and takes control of them.
That's his gimmick in the SC2.
>most boring protoss there is
nice game blizztards
>>169915626
>>169915650
Not bad if that's so.
>mfw spawning some heavy machinery to fuck shit up
If Monstrosity from Abathur was useful enough, it'd be my ult to go for. I love Monstrosity.
>>169915626
Karax has a few CoOp abilities that could find use.
Like, Artanis got Purifier Beam, which is one of Karax calldown abilities.
Other stuff that would work are Solar Lance, which is a sweeping multiple use laser, and Chrono Wave, which speeds production up, but could be translated into either CD reduction for his team, or some meme "all friendly minions have 200% attack speed, movement speed and spawn 200% faster for X seconds" to laugh at bronzies failing to respond properly.Shit because it'd give waaay to much EXP to the enemy team.
>a spaniard twitter that works with blizzard (?) announced: 'Explicitly has not been shown, but maybe you have seen hidden in some video or promotional image.' regarding the new hero
>Karax was never teased or shown in promotional image

I feel like they're cheating, desu
>>169916526
>huge update
Looking forward to this the most, though.
Just watch, they're going to rework Leoric.
How do you guys keep going when you get 5 games in a row with team mates that are blatantly clueless about heroes they go against, always out of position every fight and always seem to think it is smart to solo push a lane post lvl 20?
To me this seems to be the worst part of the game, proper matches are so few and far in between all the 1 sided ones that you just dont get the feel of progressing when you get same type of people in low gold that you do in low diamond.
>>169916897
Yes please. My friend loves playing as a spoopy skeleton, but QM players never pick tanks or high health heroes, so he hardly ever gets to shit on someone. Please increase his viability in other matchups!
>>169916526
Doubful, it's probably a few new skins, the new hero and then maybe some rework reveals. Shouldn't expect more than a new indev with a talk about their new hero though.
>>169916897
I fucking love Leoric. I wouldn't mind this.
>>169916897
wasn't it even confirmed that leoric would be reworked around march
>>169917329

>>169917454
As long as they keep spectral leach.
>>169917238
Ignore everyone, try your best, if you're still losing then you're not trying hard enough. Improve your play and disregard everyone else.
>>169917329
The way QM matchmaking works, Leoric will always have at least one other warrior to harass. Though that warrior may end up being Rexxar or Anub.
>>169917480
They didn't give a date, but they said they were going to give him a rework after they nerfed his not entomb ult in december or something.
Blizzard is Ass Mad about the leaks. So now it's all up in the air. It's going to be a wild ride this year.
>>169917560
Or Muradin, who always jumps out.
Or Varians who never take Tank in the first place, especially since the other specs got buffed.
Real talk though, while it's cool against tanks, it really only needs low mobility frontline heroes to shine. You counter tanks, but the ability works the same against everyone. And it works only if you hit, and they don't escape.
No one fucking plays these heroes in QM.
>>169917896
>169917896
ok
>>169917560
Maybe I just suck but in my experience Leoric sucks when he's the only tank and the enemy team is 4 assassins plus a tank because he just cant stay in the front long enough to survive or peel. He is awesome in a more balanced match up but in QM he just gets shit on.
His talent tree does need a rework, its boring as shit.
>>169917896
What leaks? People are now assuming some karax guy cause of a gif blizzard posted on their own facebook.
>>169918537
We got leaks and were somewhat certain of the order they release stuff.
They recently confirmed they may have little room to shuffle around hero releases since a lot of work needs to get put in, but they DID for the Lucio release.
Now they did again for Karax.
They mad about the leaks, bro.
>>169917896
This.
Same thing in Overwatch; people knew for a long while they'll get Doomfist, so they pulled a literal who out of their asses just to fuck with people.
NOTHING we expect is gonna get released. All guesses are futile.
>>169916359
I was wrong. Karax was actually teased in a promotional image.

>>169920449
Stukov will become the new Kel'thuzad.
Okay his combat-getup looks pretty decent
Still something that wasn't worth hyping up. I don't mind obscure stuff every now and then, just don't hype it up like its something it isn't.
>>169921629
You should see his walking animation in the story mode. He does this weird waddle/ skip hybrid thing.

Well I do, I love each of their kits.
When?
>>169922827
That's his co-op splash screen, everyone got battle poses for that.
In reality he's a fat protoss with a shitty beard, that is smaller than everyone else.Though if I remember right he didn't have any auto attacks in SC2 and had little machines following him around that attacked. That could be interesting.

>THEY STILL PICK THE WRONG TALENTS
Can anyone explain this to me? How can people be so retarded? I don't play raynor much, he's strong but i just enjoy other people more. I usually only play him if i have a starcraft daily. When i do play him though i crush shit, i wreck the game. You just right click someone, buff yourself with W and watch them melt. No effort or skill required at all, could not be easier. Yet the vast majority of raynors i get on my team or i see on the enemy team pick the wrong talents. They'll get a couple of auto attack talents and then a bunch of shit Q talents or something stupid like that. It honestly blows my mind everytime i see it happen. It's just so fucking obvious what to pick, he's not even a "pick talents based on comp/map" type hero, you just go the same build 100% of the time.
It actually pisses me off seeing some retard who has the cowboy skin for him just pick nonsensical talents and then play like shit when i can play him and just right click something and be top damage and siege.
>>169924118
>when you queue Butcher and end up vs a brightwing who saves its polymorph for you everytime or the enemy team isn't stupid and moves away from you when you brand them and you get melted constantly

>>169923805
>he thinks there are single antagonists and protagonists in the Blizzard games
how pleb are you? the aesthetic of these great stories is that there are no single pov heroes that are more important than one or the other. they all come with their own struggles and visions.
>>169924226
If we do get a new paladin character, I want it to be Tirion, representing Ret.
>>169924385
>Can anyone explain this to me? How can people be so retarded?
Because only retarded people pick Raynor, he is not bugged anymore anon he is useless.
>>169924616
No I mean in the story. Those characters were legit nothing but sidekicks. Fenix had the honor of being the sidekick for multiple people.
>>169924527
Brand needs a buff, even with the talent for movespeed people can still just walk away out of auto attack range.
I think brand needs the 20% movespeed built in by default, then make the talent increase healing to 100% (like it does now) and buff the movespeed from 20% to 40%.
That's my opinion anyway, i'm sick of branding people and i only get 1 hit off if i'm lucky cause they just walk away, especially since lucio is in everygame now and just makes the problem even worse.
>>169925045
need my click to win button
>>169923979
I kinda want Ithereal, honestly. It'd be neat to see how his literal "teleports behind you, unsheathes angelic runeblade" fighting style translates to a game.

>>169924385

>>169925343
Similar to Shadow Assault Zeratul and Horadric Reforging + Angelic Justice Tyrael?
>>169924630
I'd want Maraad.
Smoke Bomb is such a shitty crutch ultimate
Luckily Valeera still kinda sucks. Thank goodness, she's so annoying to deal with
>>169925815
I haven't really played either of those all that much. Are they anything like this? https://youtu.be/_q2htBs_enA?t=1m21s
>>169925885
That's definitely the right answer
>>169925161
I don't think it's out the question. Butcher is not even that strong of a hero, he's good but nothing crazy. He doesn't even really become useful until you finish your quest which tends to take a while. I'm not complaining about branding someone then being stunned or they blink away or whatever. But it's annoying get ontop of someone and branding them (which requires you to be closer than melee range), then them being able to just move away from you without stunning you or blinking or anything, even when you hit them with a cleave they can still just walk away. Kind of stupid. Butcher is pretty damn squishy of a hero too, he needs that self heal.
>>169926124
Valeera is for people who can't play Zeratul.
>>169926330
But Valeera is harder than Zeratul
>>169926124
Why does that look like it was drawn by a political cartoonist?Someone label the various things with Horde/Alliance politics stuff.
>>169824223

Where the fuck is the Overmind?
>>169926124
>people unironically think the next hero is Kraxus and not Selendis
Laffin at u
>>169926378
That is completely false. Valeera is easy, just cheapshot someone out of position, or cheapshot a squishy in a team fight and go to town, hope your team helps cause you'll barely kill the one guy you opened on.
Zeratul is harder to play, especially with timing your blinks in then back out in time, and he is a stronger assassin.

Silver: the post
>>169926254
Zeratul teleports to his AA targets with each attack for 4 seconds or so.
He also has blink on a 8 second CD. He can also blink toward the last target he attacked. He can also blink towards any target he has thrown his Spike on.
He's a high damage STEALTH assassin.
There's nothing more "nothing personnel" than this guy, gameplay wise.
Tyrael with the aforementioned talents can throw a sword and teleport to it every 6 seconds, while whacking stuff at the speed of sound. Fairly mobile, but not as teleporty as Zeratul. More angelic though.

That's not degenerate.
I want to fuck Li-Li up her pooper until she can't clench her sphincter quite right anymore, leading to her leaking a little bit if she moves excessively. I suggest diapers, and although she's a bit disgusted and abashed at the suggestion, she learns to appreciate their comfiness quite quickly.
What she doesn't know is that I fish every discarded diaper out of the trash and keep a personal archive of them, which I frequently just put on my head to experience the aroma from that one time we ate a Li-Li's Feet dish and she got constipated, or the aroma from that time when I laced her Tea with some laxatives.
-I- am degenerate. Don't group these fucks in with me, you're making light of my obsession here.

You know what Butcher has in Diablo 3?
Ancient Spear. An ability that works like Stitches' Hook, he will use it whenever you kite him a lot.
Imagine the Butcher with a hook instead of a charge.
Imagine Stitches with an engage and more damage from his AAs than from his pitiable farts.
>>169928409
I always thought it was a little odd that the Butcher wasn't a Stitches skin.
>>169928178
Well yeah but that's a pretty hefty cooldown. You can engage on someone every 10 seconds or so. Can only hit them with a post every minute and a half.

im glad blizz reduced the QM time without sacrificing the quality of the matches
I CAN'T wait to see all these fags who complain about Karax, to eat there opinions when they see How fun hes kit will be. It happens everytime, happened with greymane as well. First they hate the hero beacause its a "Nobody" than get fucked.
>>169933620
yeah just like with artanis
right
haha fun heroes I love protoss
>>169933294
which one?
>>169933742
Its not about protoss its a bout popularity you faggot. My point was that heroes that not that popular get shittied on by 4chan, but they cant realise that blizzard wouldnt put a characters in the game instead of kheltuzad and all this $$$$ Characters if they wouldn't have a fun kit. And before you start "than where is kelthuzad? XDXD" you can see that they announced popular heroes, even if it is not your favourite, like varian. They cant put in everyone. But the game needs more diverse heroes (ability wise)
>>169934001

>hunted memes

>>169934001
Uh, no, the real reason they put Karax into the game is promotion. Karax is LoV character AND a commander in coop missions in SC2. They are pushing and forcing coop missions as hell since 2015. It looks obvious that they think new players will know him better than Kel'thuzad. And they're right. As always, Blizzard is just aiming for the most brainless audience, that is to say casuals, and for their shekels. It has nothing to do with fun.
Doesn't mean Karax wont be fun to play though. All I'm saying is that your argument is flawed.
>still no gifting
I know hots only exists to promote your other games but pls
>>169921629
i'm tired of these pony tail aliens that i have no ideia who it is
>>169902561
It's Rohana's tele. She can tele herself or an ally
Though Karax is looking to be the one we're getting tomorrow, reminder that the anon who said Lucio will be the next hero a few days before Lucio's announcement stated that a Probe hero is in the works.
The Probe hero, so far, centers around "warping things onto the battlefield" and "looks to be shaping up to be a pretty crazy hero".
From the way he spoke about it, sounds like it's in the early stages. But yeah, this whole Karax thing reminded me of that, not sure how many of you remember or saw that guy's post.
>>169935007
Dunno if I was blizz I would translate that concept to Karax, I doubt anyone want to play a probe.
>>169935231
>I doubt anyone want to play a probe
I do, fucker.
>>169935007
Wow, that would be SO MUCH better than shit Karax. I want that right now.
I don't believe it will happen though.
>>169935307
You're a faget.
>>169935231
Speak for yourself.
I detest most Starcraft stuff but I'd love a probe/drone Hero.
I'm not upset or anything, but was I the one at fault for losing this match? Illidan kept blaming me when I told him to back off from forcing teamfights since we were like level 8 vs level 11. He went 'orly?' when I told him about the level differences.
Also, Xul is a pain in the ass to versus for the 2 lanes. I thought Azmo would be fine. At least I learnt from that.

I don't hate him because he's a nobody.
I hate him because's he's boring and bland as fuck and Starcraft has so many other nice characters left. Hell there's 4 important Protoss more interesting than him.

I've never been a StarCraft fan, but I enjoy the Zerg characters the most.
Are there any notable Zerg characters that SHOULD be in HotS?
>>169940328
Only Izsha and Stukov. Minor ones are the oldest of the primal zerg, the overmind, one of those giant larva things controlling a brood in sc1 and maybe individual zerg units. Can't think of any else named or important ones.
Zerglings, Ultralisks, Hydralisks, Mutalisks and Roaches are already in the game so that limits options.
>>169940328
Stukov and the Overmind.
>>169940328
The Overmind
real match history when
>>169940596
>Izsha
terrifyingespecially because she has the same voice as Aigis from Persona 3 which doesn't fit at all
>>169939819
It is just preferation. I like karax and his design and I really wanted him in the game. I always imagined him as pylon his trait and he can build buildings around his pylon
>>169933004
I now want to play a 10-Medivh mage war.
It would take 4 hours because no one would die.
>>169940596
Wow, what a faggot. The Overmind and Cerebrates are literally the most important zergs there are with Kerrigan. Only Zurvan is comparable to them in importance, but Zurvan is new to SC2 and not very charismatic, while the Overmind and Cerebrates are. Also, for your information, Cerebrates are not giant larvae, they're giant brains, unlike you apparently.
>what should the master skin be
>I dunno just add more shit to it lol
>>169942046
99% of the master skins.
>>169942130
You probably mean 100%. That's the very concept of a master skin, after all.
>>169942185
Dunno Guldan master skin is not like that and Valeera master skin as a wow armor.
>>169887394
Polish must be one of the most disgusting written languages in the world.
>>169942185
Not really. A few master skins are actual upgrades over the normal skin, or a flavored skin in theme of the character. Such as Valla or Valeera.
99% of master skins though are just ugly as fuck, just random shit thrown on that looks ridiculous, bulky, out of place, and just disgusting. Complete waste of gold.
>>169942185
>he doesn't know about chen, muradin, etc and jaina master skins

>When you were expecting probe and you got a another warcraft orc.
>>169942185
>>169942130
You guys are sort of right, some of them flat out make alterations to their design, like covering up entire bodyparts and their face and whatnot. I mean yeah, you could sort of amake the argument it's just adding shit, but for example, I actually LOVE Leoric's face, and his master skin falt out covers it up. Or Sylvanas' Master covering her midriff and a lot of her arms with her shoulderpads and whatnot. It, to me, is an odd choice for what should be an "upgrade" to sort of remove small aspects of their default clothing and shit.

>>169942609
>>169942715
>>169942904
Uh, I didn't mean 100% master skins are ugly. I meant that 100% master skins are just the base skin with something added on it. As you said yourself, "a flavored skin in theme of the character" or "an upgrade over the normal skin". Whether the result is good or bad is entirely a matter of taste. The fact, though, is that master skins are nothing else than an improved base skin, or, in other words, just a base skin with shit added on it. It 100% applies to your examples: Valla, Chen, Muradin, Jaina, Vikings...

the problem is that the characters normal designs are already so iconic that its sort of what you would expect from a master skin to begin wtih and blizzard being blizzard adheres to the old "put BIGGER spikes on it" design philosophy
>>169940328
Not really
There's some notable ones like stukov izsha and the overmind ( and the other cerebrates ) that had an actual personality but that's about it
They would just need to give some iconic ability like plaguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, infested terran's suicide bombing or structure infestation to someone of thoseAnd also give ultralisk to zagara so she can be the hero that she's supposed to be
>>169812435

Peon Hero when?
Is there a channel for the event mount, or Vs. AI farm? Not having the best of luck in General.
>>169942042
Blizzard legally can't use cerebrates anymore.
>>169945995
They honestly should. If they're okay with putting in meme heroes from the beginning like Murky and ETC, then they should be okay with making a funny meme peon hero. They could put meme text on all the abilities like they do with Murky. Just shit like Q is a chop with an axe that says "for chopping trees, other thing are good too!" and his passive is something like "work work work" which gives him a speed boost whenever he does an axe attack or some shit.
>>169946442

>>169947140
>what? Why can't they use Furion or Grom?
It's a joke.
>>169947140
Trademark stuff, that's why Furion is Malfurion now and Grom is Grommash, Grom was just a nickname but they cant use it.
>>169947208
No is not a joke.
>>169947220
Fucking trademarks. It sounds absurd to be able to have the exclusive ownership a six-letters name. I want to make this world burn.
>>169947220
Isn't "Furion" Malfurion in the WC3 campaign and just a DoTA meme?
I'd like to see a source for them not being able to use Grom too.
>>169947447
Technically "Malfurion" appeared in Frozen Throne, and that's when "Furion" disappeared. So I guess there was a lawsuit between ROC and TFT.
>>169947560
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO6Pe_XoNoc
>Nigga what?
It's Malfurion
>>169946442
WHAT
How? Why?
They could still be optional traits for the Overmind, like Kharazim's trait but more options.
>>169947638
They may have changed it in a patch, but I know for sure it originally was just Furion.
>>169947638
>>169948047
People close to him would call him just furion, Tyrande would call him Mal
>>169947638
>>169948447
Actually both of you are right, Furion was like a nickname but for legal reasons they can't use it anymore.
>>169947638
Huh, I dunno what is the mission in this video, it doesn't look like the official campain; however, it for sure is from TFT, not ROC. Look at 41:46 for example: there's a rune. Runes were added with TFT. QED.
>>169948520
>>169948482
It wasn't just a nickname in ROC. The screenshot here >>169948447 shows very clearly that it was his main, official name. I personally heard "Malfurion" for the first time ever in TFT and was very surprised, I remember that very well, as well as seeing his new stag mount.
>>169948719
>>169947638
Indeed, it's a non-official, fan-made campain from TFT (after all, custom campains couldn't even exist in ROC).

>>169957341

Now that Karax is all, but confirmed could this be the next spoiled list from Axoltol (who has since gone Anon since reddit found out about him?)
The only reason I think this one might be legit is because Axoltol always formats his posts very oddly and seems to know the names of OC characters (in this case Alaj as the D1 Mage) long before they're announced.

Some obscure company got all huffnpuff when Blizz 'stole' their idea for a hivemind race. It's why cerebrates are never mentioned or used anymore in SC2. Which really sucks because I imagine they would have made one a co-op commander at least if they could still use them.

Misfits is winning hard. Khaldor said in scrims yesterday ANZ was even with NA.

Really made me think anon

I'm sceptic about their matchup vs dignitas, but they're fucked vs fnatic
brawl idea:every hero starts at level 1 with all of their talents, including both ults
When will pros stop picking Falstad?
>>169975964
I disagree. I think Misfits is the strongest altough it obviously will be very though against the other europeans, especially Fnatic.
>>169975983
when blizzard realizes how popular he is in tournaments and nerf him for no reason
Just like with tychus

>misfits is winning
>>169975983
you mean sylvanas.
>>169976048
Watch the next 2 games. I'm from the future.
Kerri and Sylv are out of meta for a reason
>>169976086
Pros don't pick Sylvanas usually. Misfits went for a pubstomp comp.
even esport teams have shills nowadays
>>169976243
Yes, shill for EU here.
>>169976281
how much do you get paid? do you have any specific future goals in mind for your career? how did you find yourself in this position?
>>169958776
>>169963810
Damn, all this is missing is Blackthorne and Mekkatorque
>>169976169
>usually
no this is one of her meme maps people won't drop. not pubstomp at all.
>>169976382
& Malthael
>>169976372
I'm doing it for >free and >fun.
I just like e-sports and the eu temas and bullying na is great.
>>169976387
She doesn't get picked anymore. No effective dmg, no real teamfight use except for her ult but that isn't enough. Kerri+Sylv is a super early game steamroll comp. They were going for a less than 10m win.

load up some proxy and answer my questions when your manager isn't looking and i'm sure no one will ever know
>>169976556
I-I'm home anon... Don't be silly.
>>169976571
remember that i have cast the curse of corean humiliation upon you
if you do not repent the day of judgment, which is fast approaching, will fall upon you with its full wrath
>>169976897
I do not scare. EU top 2 are better than Black right now and are even in reach of L5
>>169976980
MVP black is shit tho, never recovered from losing Rich
that Tychus position baka, Misfits way too cocky
>>169977049
Exactly and right now there isn't anybody else in kr except those 2
new thread?

>>169978250
I think it's time to just put it out of its misery
