Holy fuck, how can you be this sperg for so many months? "I-i found the ponyfucker XD" Jesus Christ.

>Like hammer
>She sucks
Hope Genji's fun

>>174302159
Hammer is great
In the right comp and proper map.

Genji is looking super mobile and a pain to kill, but doesn't have enough burst damage to be worth it if the enemy team has even a little bit of CC.

Give it to me straight /hotsg/ how is the new Uther?
Better?
Worse?
Same?

>>174302503
Better, but mana problems are the only issue.

>>174302503
Better especially in ultra carry comps.

Hammer is fun! Fun!

>>174302549
I've always had mana problems when playing him.
Based on the patch notes I read apparently there's a quest to make Holy Light cost less, so that's something I guess.

>>174302551
In what now?

>>174302797
Have you seen that comps with two healers and two tanks plus Valla? That's a carry comp.

>>174301916
Is that a challenge?

>>174302730
>Pre-7 Tracer trying to solo a tank
Oh lawd.

new map is literally no squishies allowed

>new patch notes
>Sprays have received additional polish that should help them feel more integrated with battleground environments.
What did they mean by this?

>>174303231
Only squishies with good escapes are allowed, otherwise it's good sustain assasins or bruisers with a healer

>>174302145
Ponyfucker, get out.

>>174303436

Lighting applies to them most of the time now, makes them look less shit.

>>174303502
What does butcher qualify as again? Sustain?

>>174301954
Gain the ability to mind control people over the internet.

>>174303818
Sustain with a great engage.

So... is the PTR now Hanamura only or something?

Yeah, and it's got great matchmaking.

2 lane maps are consistently trash

is the new one bad too?

I don't get how additional core damage from destroyed forts + sappers in a cleared lane is supposed to -prevent- snowballing.

>>174301954
kill the enemy team harder than they can kill yours. in short, git gud.
>>174304427
best map ingame, but the cores need like twice as much health. games end at level 16

>>174304493
i don't believe you

Yeah your fault as well, don't blame MM

>>174305117
Can Genji not lane? He seems to be pulling Nova XP contribution levels...

I'm bored. How should I troll my next Bronze HL game? I'm in the queue right now.

>>174305257
>Can Genji not lane?
He shouldn't lane at all.

>>174305269
Play medivh only as a crow and soak non-stop. When questioned, say your scouting for your team.

For Samuro, this is the cookie cutter build, right?

Way of rhe Blade -> Mirage -> Burning Blade -> Illusion Master -> Shukuchi -> Press The Attack -> Bladeaster's Pursuit.

Is there any reason to deviate from that? Because I sometimes feel like the Mirror Image talents at 1 and 13 would be better. The port on Shukuchi is often overkill for everything but chasing, to me, and I feel like I can't always consistently get more than one crit off on people before I have to start on the footwork, and in that situation I just feel like the extra Mirror damage would be better.

>>174305257
He doesn't have an aoe ability so yes, he sucks at it

>>174305257
I honestly try really hard but no he can't. He has 0 wave clear. So your best bet is to roam lots since both your dashes/jumps have a very low cooldown.

>>174305351
I don't want to level Medivh up because of 2.0, though.

>>174305340
>>174305425
>>174305437
Hmm, so is he ambush or roam? I hate not understanding a heroes role. He looks so bad from an on paper stand point.

>>174305437
>another roaming assassin that can't lane

gee

>>174305694
fucking gee

Cam't wait for QM to be even more unplayable. I guess this is their way of trying to push people into playing ONLY HL, to help fix their shit matchmaking.

>>174302503
Worse

>>174305360
>Press The Attack
>Bladeaster's Pursuit

Harsh winds and wind strider is better vs squishes
Your build is good if vs slow tanky targets but low peels

Mirror Image talent at 1 is better only in the midgame if you stack it fast : way of the blade has overall the highest dps

>>174304998
The other team was literally a grandmaster 5 stack, friend.

>>174306434
How so?

>>174306450
Whatever helps you shitpost at night.

>>174306597
Hush now, don't you have time to complain about mmr hell?

>>174305360

Phantom Pain / Harsh winds is better for ganking, burning blade / press the attack better for teamfighting.

I find myself wishing I had phantom pain when I take burning blade though. Personal choice.

>>174306442

If you go Illusion master, way of illusion gives you much punch throughout the match. His damage feels like a wet noodle without it even with the extra crit.

How will the real money skins work now?

>>174307573
You can buy gems with money

You trade the gems for skins when they are weekly featured

As much as I like the new map, good lord its a snowball

>>174307637
so if there's one that i really want, better buy now?

>>174307743
Damn do you suck, why you playing quickmatch?

>>174307850
more like, buy the gems THEN buy the item, it will return in the far future for half price

>>174306794
It does have more burst if you can land less than 11 attacks while critting 3 times plus a W. After that point way of the blade catches up with overall higher dps.

If you start with no blade stacks and manage to get only 3 hits in way of the blade has higher damage too.
If you need to waveclear with burning blade way of the blade is better

In every other scenario illusions is better, as long as you can stack it relatively fast

>>174306547
Butchered his talents to make him more generic and simple, destroyed his Q and now he's basically the same as before with even less builds.
>inb4 muh armor

>>174307743
Butcher is far too easily countered, even in QM. Sorry, but you should probably just stop playing him.

>>174308361
Gold league advice at its finest.
You know some of the game, but not nearly all of it, and so you probably aren't aware that and cannot explain as to why Butcher has one of the highest win rates in the game.
Butcher can be countered but smart play allows him to control around nearly anything except Johanna

So the exact same as before if you skipped on Conjurer's Pursuit... which has now been removed.

Divine Protection looks Vile Infection tier in terms of L20 talents but if Uther still has mana problems post rework but now lacks the only stopgap he had to resolve them (Pursuit) he's worse overall by default.

>>174308765
What the FUCK are you talking about?

So next hero is dva for the overwatch event right?

>>174310354
He's probably around 17. Let him enjoy the retarded ass Twitch waifu placebo effect.

>>174311259
No

>>174310161
lvl 1 holy light talent almost cuts the cost in half and you can complete it extremely fast
If you go full retribution build holy shock costs like 5 mana per cast
Armor technically requires you to heal less overall

He will still be mana starved vs a guldan lunara comp but he's way better off than what it was before.

who here /ragequitter/?

Gotta do some afk match bullshit that's taking forever to queue for

There was no reason for me to continue playing in the game I was in. None.

>>174311646
the reason to continue was that you dont get leaver status
it gets worse each time you get it

>>174311646
fuck yea bro /unintentionallygoingtogetlabeledaleaver/ cuz my fukken sick ass dank internet is a total meme right now and its gone out three times in the last two weeks for no real reason ayyyyyy lmao fug idk what my modem meant by this but fuck it pham lmao

>>174311646

Just do like everyone else.

Play passive as fuck. Clear creep waves until you lose. Avoid every team fight. When they start getting near your core, feed so they know they can core.

Cassia is pretty fun to play but I think you shouldn't require like 4 talents before fend is better than auto-attacking people and there are so few auto-attacking heroes in the game that plate of the whale needs to be like twice as strong as it is now, especially since you only regen hp on foot and only sometimes.

>>174311537
With Conjurer's past 13 mana problems were nonexistent if you knew how to rotate for orbs. You could use Radiance and HL on CD and not OOM with Pursuit finished. It was the only way to alleviate his mana issues.

Reintroducing them by force and removing the only way to counteract them is stupid.

Just do camps, ignore objectives and afk push a lane until you lose. It's not worth playing qm games.

TIME TO RIP SOME ABATHUR BOYS

>>174311841
Not that guy but now I'm curious: about how many games does it take to get leaver status?

>>174312218
2.5 mana per second from conjurer made it so you'd get those same 40 saved mana per cast from the new lvl1 talent every 16 secs.
That's 25% more mana considering holy light cd during a fight.
Even considering they reduced the healing from holy light or the interaction between increased mana and regeneration orbs the new uther has less mana issues.

Moreover, they shifted his position more to the frontline, and given his new tyrande like heal absorbing damage is a way more engaging method to deal with mana issues.

>>174312626
You get it if youre d/c'd during the end of a game or during draft, maybe from non participation reports too idk

>>174301916
Soup Dash Salak

>>174313814
so who is vallas hard counter? Lost 3 games in a row to a valla

I need healing

>>174314456
she doesnt have one, you just have to have a better draft in general
if they go for an obvious "shield the valla and we win" comp you can just take anub and web the valla

>>174314716
Me too, man. Me too.

soooo, should you safe your gold for the patch or should i buy some heroes now?

>>174314776
ideally you would wait until they announce which heroes, if any, they will give away with the nexus challenge 2.0, other than that there is no difference from buying now or when 2.0 releases

>>174314776
You don't want to buy heroes now because the last big event gave away 7 dudes for free, 4 that were 10k. But don't save it for after the patch because if you want to re-roll the epic chests you get it costs 1k, 3k, 5k.

i haven't played in a while. why is abathur so weak now?
when i last played he was okay in mostly any team comp, and borderline OP with an illidan, but then they nerfed illidan and he was fine.

the fuck happened?

>>174314938
>>174314948
thanks guys

>>174315417
hes not weak, he has never actually received any nerfs (no one worth a damn uses buggies build), he just shifted out of the meta

>>174315417
its not really that hes weaker than before, other heroes have just been getting buffed/reworked and make the 4v5 fights almost impossible to take

Since the update I've been getting major frame stutter.
Does any one know how to fix this?

>>174313045
The problem with shifting a healer to the front lines is the instant you're apotted, any team with any game sense is going to burn you down.

Just ask any Holy Paladin player how safe they feel at melee versus at 30 yards in WoW.

>>174317518
Elaborate.

How the fuck does one play Lunara?
Seems like in order to actually kill anything I need to be harassing people, but the moment they look in my direction, half my life bar is gone.
The radius for her Q is also ridiculously small, even with the 20% increase.

They need to make the genji dash like 50% shorter and not be able to go through terrain, he basically has a better zerathul teleport that does dmage now.. the dash is instant and very fast, and he can escape pretty much any situation, or jump inside of an enemy team which is standing uder their own fort, kill their low health healer and dash out before they can do anything
lately blizzard just loves to add incredibly tedious heroes into the game, like stun from a cloak ? seriously? and no genji who is even worse, at least valeera can't teleport over half of the map and as if the super long dash isn't enough he can then immediately do another huge jump with his D again over terrain,and even if you come close to killing him by doing pyroblast or triple tap, because you sure as fuck won't get him some other way, then guess what.. he has fucking like 8 second immortality cooldown, so for the next 5 month we won't probably see a single qm without genji on both teams
In HL we can at least ban him, but for normal people like me who have a life and play mostly qm this is just a huge fuck you from blizz
My only option at this point is to buy the stupid genji and play only him if i want to have any fun because no other hero comes even close to him

Please stop playing Abathur in QM until they decide he is absolutely not worth considering a sustaining hero like Medivh, Tyrande, Tassadar or Zarya.

Love, absolutely everybody who gets stuck with a stupid fucking Abathur and ends up playing a 4v5 game because he's so incredibly fucking useless without specific conditions being met first.

I report every single 5-stack I see in QM too, but I don't hope they get banned because they have no reason to be in trouble. I do it so that at least -somebody- receives the complaint and gets the feedback that 5-stacks shouldn't really be allowed in QM, or at least to play against a team of solo queues.

I don't even know why you guys bother with any of the PvP aspects of this game. All of you seem to hate QM especially but I just avoid it and I still love the game for its art and content. Cosmetics are the only thing that matter in games like these anyway so why get yourselves worked up over competitive bullshit?

HOTS will never be taken seriously as an Esport until their retard game devs stop treating the heroes they put in as cash cows and "dropping" them into the game in these overpowered states on purpose. It's like their "baby" needs to thrive or some shit.

Also can we just be fucking clear that HOTS is already dead because heroes like Genji are unbelievably uninteresting and no different than any other dashing hero. HOTS was the first MOBA to add a 2 player hero (that I know of) and I thought they were going to keep making unique heroes like Abathur or Cho'gall

Blizzard if you're reading this, stop being afraid to take risks in hero design, map design or anything. HOTS isn't a great game. You might think it is, but it's only 'okay' and it really needs to grow.

should i get 25 loot boxes or genji?
He seems so incredibly op it's not even funny

>>174328208

He's not OP, he's just so new fags can't fight him.

The difference between a good genji and a bad one is huge. So if you don't know how to play smartly you'll be useless. If you are decent at the game then yeah sure get him.
>>174326907
Considering genji queue is roughly 16 mins right now while regular queue is still only 1 min I'd say so. But it did happen once somehow.

It is a stupid meme but its not that wrong either.
Out of the most recent characters
Varian was overtuned
Ragnaros was really overtuned
Zul'jin was fine for the most part
Valeera was overtuned
Lucio was overtuned
Probius was undertuned
Cassia was undertuned
Genji I think leans towards overtuned but we will wait and see.

>>174324201
I know for sure Baleog (green viking) hits with his sword instead of throwing it at melee range. It was a refreshing aesthetic touch coming from Dota where even sniper still shoots his gun at melee range.

Anyone else notice that the Genji main menu theme on Hots sounds like Karas?

>500 second qm wait
>the player you were matched with..
FUCK YOU

Rexxar and Misha count as TWO heroes on Hanamura.

Who thought this would be a good idea?

>>174329269
Don't discriminate against bears.

LAUNCH EVENT DETAILS WHEN?!!?!?

>>174329269
Vikings count as three.
You can superpush a payload, or push a payload and soak both lanes
Mercs give shitloads of EXP, and goodies to boot
It's honest to god a good 2 lane map for vikings

Meanwhile Cho'gall only count as one hero for the objective. It's the worst 2 lane map there is for him.

Zul'jin is one of the top counters to genji. Zul'jin is also being played very consistently at tournaments and is considered top tier.

Really made me think that you were a bronze

>>174330165
Why would there be a genji? matches took place between 14th and 16th. Additionally new characters are never allowed so they always play one patch behind. They will play on cassius patch for another 3 weeks or so.

>>174330191
Is that a bug?

>>174330165
Genji ain't coming into competitive until the next hero is properly released in live, my love.
HGC and other tournaments normally use the last patch before the current one.

So we might just see Cassia next weekend.

No it's incredibly bad luck, you can of course get skins for heroes you don't even own, so enjoy that rare red tint for sonya which you never even bought and don't play during free weeks because se is so fucking shity
It happened to me just now, i rerolled a common chest with 4 common items and got on rare and one legendary, the legendary was amor skin for tyrande, fucking hell, i never play tyrande, she is boring as fuck, but do i ever get any skins for my main sylv? NO. And to add even more salt to the injury two days ago i got the nocturnal eye skin for .. you guessed it.. fucking tyrande

>>174330358
Tentonhammer has him as A+
He also has a solid 54.2% winrate accross master/diamond.
So maybe not everyone is seeing it, but dignitas has one of the bigger followings so as you said people will see they are playing him and start playing him theirself trying to imitate them.

Hey
Joo wan' axe?

>>174318385
She is tough. You need to stutterstep, aim her bloom better and always be poking. Be sure not to get close, slippery and all.

I suck at her. But hey, don't take the crutch talent, take reveal, it let's you chase through bushes.

Take vines, not leap. Less burst, but you won't die using it.

Wel... Why?

Why do they release so many assassins?

They've released more assassins in the past year than warriors, supports, and specialists combined.

>>174331976
Hopefully roots.

Dignitas is riding that Stitches stunlock burst cock really hard, and with Tyrande on the radar for a rework and probably a buff either in speed or stun duration for her E, this could go out of hand very quick.

Was thinking about what to do about genji...

>>174332497
If he didn't dash/jump out of range before it hooked him, yes. But that dash is pretty much instant, so he won't get leashed back, he could get leashed back from a jump though.

Hows the Gaz announcer?

>>174335609
He's ranged, has more poke and has more sustained DPS. He deals mostly physical while Raggy is magic.

He's also roughly 200% more difficult to play than Ragnaros Mr. REQW SKILLKILL LMAO

Oh shit I just was thinking, what's gonna happen to the player icons that you get for leveling heroes to 9 or a group to 10? Are they gonna be adjusted accordingly? I hope they don't become unachievable after 2.0

better than all the others i have but still i dont think any of the announcers are done well at all

Greymane is a very rewarding hero if you know how to play him, good poke, burst dmg with GftT or even a E and Q.
