Honestly, I could see if being Alex. Claw marks add up, embers add up, and the "heroine" thing adds up as well. "It's a very popular character!" also fits, people love the dragon aspects.

Its easier to get on 3 lane maps because you get a little bit of wiggleroom on mindless farming
2l ane maps will almost always have somebody trying to poke you out of lane or gank you

Maps were you might have to do fight over obj for long amounts of time braxis,junction,battlefied of eternity mainly can have you starved of stacks if your team cant close out teamfights or focus the obj

>>174948495

The game has been sleeper good for a while now.

Being less jew-y is a huge appeal that turned people off originally.

Also, the game has come a long way in 2 years. It's a different game than it was at launch.

It literally does.
Things that were previously unattainable without money are now attainable without money.
Even if the update only made it so that 5 skins in the game were unlockable through loot chests, it would still be less jewy than it was before.

Deathwing would be cool. Nefarian would be cool. Onyxia would be okay. Unless it's somehow a fucking Overwatch hero this should be good.

>>174948747

Is Zul'jin any good? I love the idea of him and his model/voice but he doesn't feel strong without special support, being at low health in this game is just asking to get deleted. Guillotine build is silly but overall feels less effective than AA.

>>174948827
Your points are valid, but they switched to this model just because it can earn them more money.

Source: (Me)

>me (tracer) and dehaka have our first death together after hitting level 20
>dominating the entire match until then
>team falls apart and losses the match before we can even respawn
Sad that the other 3 were retarded enough to go boss and get wiped to let the other team have it and then plow their way through two keeps.

>>174948795
Your words hurt me, anon, but I'll find a way to survive.

>>174948827

It's more jewy overall, but if you don't spend any money either way it is better for you. For those who do spend money it's basically trying to trick them into gambling.

I don't spend any money on this game so I don't mind (except the gold being removed from brawl, that sucks dick) but their motives are far from pure. I feel bad for the people who get sucked into this gambling shit.

I hear they do make ridiculous amount of money from Overwatch loot boxes and this is clearly similar.
I can only hope this means we get new skins as often as Overwatch does.

I thought this game was a casual moba for retards until a friend convinced me to play it back in late 2015.

Now it's the main game I play, and realize that this is easily Blizzard's best game since Warcraft 3.

OUR TIME HAS COME

>>174948495
>Saving this game
No, just trying to usher in a new and wider audience. Tell me when that has ever been a pro and not a con. Look at us now, we've got some smalltime animefags, a week or so ago some really obnoxious teenagers came through spamming the thread with entirely non-related shit for a bit, etc.

>Less Jewy
Not quite. It's a switch over to a mobile app type game shop wherein they try to push you into spending money on gambling boxes, and the game will now revolve around that. They'll also be dictating when YOU get to spend your money on something, as evident by now only being able to buy things that are new or in the Featured tab, which not only controls how you spend your money, but also attempts to nudge you into coughing up the dough for these things when they're brand new, as you won't be able to get them with real money for god knows how much longer. Not to mention the conversion from direct money payments into the "Money -> Gem -> Purchase" system, which assuredly makes you spend a bit more than you need to in the long run, since you can only buy $5 worth of Gems at a time.

How do you find decent co-players? I play with one decent friend which helps a lot, we usually do very well for ourselves but it isn't always enough to win the game. Is the /vg/ channel actually decent? I'm not expecting professionals, just not total retard butchers.

Don't forget about catfag, tripfag, valeera spammers thinking they're good, and repeated questions about the same topics over and over again. Although I guess that can be attributed to Bliz's lack of direct clarity on the subjects.
BUUTTT talking about the meta of a general kills communities. So the best way to let the bad die out is to stop talking about it.

Realm Lords as a Hero or Else supporting Heroes by just sitting back at the Core it would be bad to Make them a Hero but New Mehanic like in Battlefield to Support Your troops
Example: as Gravekeeper Spawning a Boss in a Lane, Scouting the Battleground,Buffing up Minions,Making Heros collect tribute and then Cursing the Enemy Defenses as the Raven Lord
(What I Think Needs to be Done) I Really Like the Concept of Adding Realm Lords as Playable Characters or Core because this system gets Salvaged because of the Character annoucers.But I think is a great idea where 2 people Stay back just like Abathur and Play Chess and be separate in loading-screens than Heroes
(Edit I want to Know what you guys think about this)

LoL went full retard when they actually decided to keep those plants in the game so I quit that.
Smite went full on casual pandering and has become a joke game.
Dota is too autistic for me.
Paragon swallowed the dota-meme pill and has since become one of the shittiest clown fiesta mobas youll ever see

HoTS is the only one that has actually improved since back when I played it in early 2015.
The only thing HoTS is missing is map voting (for both ranked and QM, boy would I love to filter out garden memes).
But other than that and a few balance issues, it's pretty damn solid and fun.

That dehaka was a random, not my friend. /vg/ channel is pretty dead whenever I'm on so I just queue up solo. Some of them are pretty good, but they typically don't say anything unless they want to bitch at something and leave after one match or right after the first lost match without a word. Bunch of autists, really.

>>174950461
Paragon had a lot of potential as the only Dota game using 3D space, but the developers are absolutely retarded and haven't done anything with it since the first couple characters. Like Kalista has the double jump that lets her reach higher areas from the lower ones, Howitzer's ultimate is pretty good, Gideon has his warp ultimate, and that's it. There are other characters with jumps but none of those are strong enough to reach the 2nd level now. And I think the last 4-5 dudes they released are all melee assassins in a game where everyone wants to play them because jungling is so much faster and safer than playing in lane.

I know this is the Bronziest question you will read today, but how the FUCK do I deal with Samuro?
I've never played him myself but it seems like the cooldown on the Illusions is short enough for him to just sort of keep sending them in your direction and never actually face danger himself.

Is there a timer until release or something?

>>174950572

His damage is low, his heroics are laughable, it's hard for him to get top damage.

To defeat the samurai, you must, yourself, be unpredictable. Show him the true meaning of damage he did not see coming. Pathing he did not suspect. Positioning he strives to reach for. Teammates he wished he had.

>>174950775
He's one of those heroes that have a completely broken kit, but the only thing stopping them from being overpowered is the fact their numbers are too low.
Basically Samuro is busted, you don't really 'deal' with him, you just wait until the game is over and win because he's playing Samuro

And his numbers are so low that he's completely helpless without his clones out. If your team just turns and kills them he can't do anything for 18 whole seconds. On his own he's significantly weaker than characters like Valleera or Tassadar who aren't really known for auto-attacking people and then they have 4 full skills to use on top of it.

>>174951352
more likely between 3am and 7am

>>174950775
Samuro isn't a real assassin. He's a specialist.
This means that he will only be able to kill you if you stand there trying to 1v3 his illusions for 20 minutes instead of cleaning them up one by one and making fuck off until the illusions are back up.

You deal with Samuro by having heroes that can reveal, self-sustain/trade in lane, or get away from Samuro, or just tell Samuro and his illusions to fuck off. Some wave clear helps because once he realises he's worthless in teamfights he is going to afk farm merc camps like the specialist he is and that might actually work against you. If your mobility or stealth sniping sucks, don't chase him.

Like dealing with every stealth hero, don't start a fight until you know where he is because he's going to wait until after you commit to a fight to show up like the stealthfag he is.

I guess I've been going about this the wrong way then, I tend to get pissed because he just shows up and then vanishes away, after which I chase him and often times get killed by someting else.
Sounds like the best solution is just kill the illusions and then let him fuck off then?

I have about 130 games with sam and his clones are his life
It is suicidal to attack 90% of the cast without them however lategame clones with the 20 talent can kill squishy mages like chromie or jaina if they try to clear them solo
Good sams wont let the clones die so easily because swapping with them will refill their hp
I usually wait a second or two when a teamfight breaks out then windwalk behind and try to jump on one of the squishy backliners and either kill them or make them back off and then escaping is all mind games you can send a clone off in a random direction and people will assume its the real you trying to run
or you can send all clones in different directions and then jump to the one that isnt being pursed as heavily
I almost never take bladestorm unless we have an etc or jaina that can reliably land their ults and the enemy team doesnt have enough burst to just swat me because bladestorm is a pretty big "KILL ME I CANT DO ANYTHING FOR 5 SECONDS" button until 20 when your clones also bladestorm

It really can make for quite a rough early game.

>team desperately lacking wc
>decide to take cull
>no actual talents until 10

>>174953613
Alarak has a lot of weird/junk talents. Like reckless strike is -25% armor for 2 seconds if you hit a hero, minions, or zagara creeps. And Discord Strike is a good move, but it's really not outrageously strong compared to other character's attacks and the range is so tiny you're never going to hit more than one person anyway. If I'm going to hit someone so hard that I take 25% extra damage I want that other guy to end up as a smear on the pavement.

>>174953293
If Azmodan is completely hog-wild and keeping Globe on cooldown while also using his laser liberally (and didn't take lowered laser or demon warrior costs at 1 or 4), he can actually have some mana problems.
Mana problems should be handled by hearthing and fountains and staying near Malfurion, but sometimes you get the "I'm gonna stay pushing this lane for just 7 more minutes" bug.

>There are much more auto attackers in nexus than casters, and it’s something that they’re working on to balance out.

They must be fucking joking. AAers get shit on., and spell damage is THE most dominant damage type in the game, with very few ways ot mitigate it. AAers have ot deal with Block, Dodge, being kited,, attack speed slows, etc.

Yeah. I've been playing Cassia and she's fun but there aren't enough auto-attacking heroes that I ever get to see her passive in action. And if there ever were I can keep them blinded literally forever. Why would you play a pure AA dude when she exists, when Lili exists, when Johanna has 25% permanent damage reduction, and the other tanks have like 15%.
Cassia has the single best AA steroid in the entire game and is the only character who can hit through armor, but even then she's more of a spellcaster than a Raynor or a Zuljin.

In Overwatch the loot boxes are predetermined. Even though they do event boxes and shit, normal boxes can't get new things in them if the box is already there. So like u can't hoard boxes for when a new hero comes out to get their skins because the contents are already set once you get it. I assume hots will be the same way so hoarding doesn't seem likely.

Nice to see Blizzard caving going full Korean MMO; giving us maximum sexy skins again. I can't wait to see what else the have in store. Incoming Summer Swimsuits and bunny suits.

Sup fellas, not only does the cinematic reveal the 3rd new hero but it also heavily teases another. Enjoy!

damn thats what i missed this whole time
global fucking unavoidable damage on whole team
bliz pls add

>>174960667
Azmodan is sort of like Karthus, in that he has a minion farming component on a talent of his, and can globally push a lane. No idea who the fuck Zeus is because I quit that garbage a little bit after Zac came out.

>>174960667
Not exactly. There are a number of nuke mages of different flavors though.

>>174960804
I gotta say I always fucking loved playing those types of characters. The salt is legendary

Should I blow my 10k now or wait and see what tomorrow looks like?

>>174961035
Save it.

>>174961035
wait for the nexus challenge 2.0 announcement.
could be another free heroes event.

>>174960339
Cassia, Genji, Cinematic hero (3rd)

>>174960339

>>174961298

Looks like you just took the objective for your siege dmg.

>>174961657
Does 10 ragnaros brawl count?.

Blizz give a me a fucking reason to play brawls more than 3 times. I don't get shit besides a portrait nobody uses and some gold. At least give me some character XP.

>>174961972
Brawls in 2.0 do in fact give extra xp.Still no reason to play them aside from the minimum to get the gold, or rather chest, now.
