Where in the flippin HECK is Maiev???

So this will sound bronze as fuck, but is it really possible to reach the 175 stacks with Naz before level 20? Even if I autistically ignore everything and focus only on stacks the max I have around level 20 is 130, and then its useless because by that time I already missed enough team fights and objectives that my team is on the verge of losing.
Any tips?

post heros that remind u of urself

>think medivh looks cool
>10k gold
Wtf?

Who would buy this character over someone like dva, genji or malthael?

It's like blizzard wants to discourage teamplay

>Genji tries to memedash, but you're Chen so you kick him from across the world anyway
>Genji deflects, but you're Chen so you just drink your worries away
>Genji tries to Q you to death, but you're Chen so you smash a Keg on his face and set him on fire before drop-kicking his ass again
>Genji dies, but you're Chen so you just have another drink while everyone still says you're a shit character

>>180407194
>use your abilities on a wave
>mount up
>head to the next lane
>do the same
>mount up

it's a lot easier on smaller maps, on shit like cursed hollow and warhead it's fucking impossible

>>180407241
>genji ignores chen
>kills all of chen's teammates
>laughs at chen for being a retard tank who didn't pick cc

>>180407194
Yes. Easily.
Stutter stepping, poisoning all the minions, throwing spiders at minion waves, and so on to make sure you get all 7 stacks from every wave.
Then when the map allows it, you rotate between two close lanes so you can be getting most if not all of every minion wave for your stacks.

You may be fucked on cursed hollow, and warhead it only happens if the game goes stupidly long without any pushing.

Basically every hero that's newer than Sylvannas is still 10k gold. Only exception is probably Lunara that had her Gold cost decreased due to her being literally unusable for the first months of her release due to being so undertuned.

>>180407235
It's almost like he's still new enough to be in the top gold bracket.

There are only 8 white male human characters so I can't have an N'Sync vs. Backstreet Boys match unless each team has Abathur.

>>180413860
1: Nerubian Armor, makes an already hard to squash bug harder to squash.
Situational: On braxis or tomb you can consider regen master, though typically if you need regen master there's something wrong with your draft.

4: Bed of Barbs, stupidly OP, makes a slow field for enemies that also does damage making it good for wave clear as well.
Situational: Underking if you have another tank and your job is just to dive and disable the mages and/or healers.

7: Chitinous Plating or Subterranean Shield. Both have merit, it depends if you're taking sustain damage (Chit), or burst damage (Sub).

10: Cocoon is one of the most powerful heroics in the game.

13: Burning Rage on blackhearts. Urticating if you're diving into the middle of the enemy team or getting surrounded a lot. Acid-Drenched for the same reason that Underking is considered at 4, except now you don't have to give up a stupidly OP talent for it.

16: Epicenter if you have bad aim, or your comp is has great sustain heals that it can just keep endlessly pushing into an enemy. Debilitation if you're actually trying to disable people.

20: Rewind.
Situational: Nullifcation Shield if you're up against an all mage team and just want to cuck them. Cryptweave if you want to BM.

On Scarab Talents: I have not done a lot of experimentation with scarab builds, I've heard they're decent for off-tanking as Anub as long as the enemy team also has a shit ton of skill shots for the scarabs to constantly fuck-up.

As a beginner, Is 46 percent Winrate on QM average or am I hopeless?

>>180422596
Why would your win rate matter when you have to depend on 4 other people to not be retarded?

>>180422735

Been on a losing streak and I'm feeling hopeless, it's not like Dota where you can carry an entire game.

>>180422596
That's fine. Winrate in QM doesn't matter because QM doesn't matter, you'll end up close to or right on 50% and that's okay. You can't predict or choose your game conditions in QM so your winrate will be roughly 50% because it's a literal coin toss. Just play and learn.

>>180423001

Is Unranked draft somewhat better than QM?

>>180423102
Nope

>>180422898
Welcome to HOTS, where one bad player can determine the outcome.

You're going to feel this hopeless forever. HOTS is a soul sucking game, and if you ever play ranked, just know that diamond here is silver in any other game.

>>180423134
>diamond here is silver in any other game.
this is what dota and lolfags tell themselves to feel better about themselves

>>180422898
You can actually. Just need a tank in this game not damage. If you can shot call effectively (and they listen) you will win most of the games if you have a good initiator skill based hero like stitches/artanis/anubarak depending on their comp

Damage is kind of braindead in this game anyone can do it

The real skill is involved in separating enemies and choosing the right targets in teamfights to create space for your damage

>>180419517
Sheesh that guy needs to lose weight

>>180422898
It's also unlike Dota because in order to carry you actually have to outplay your opponents, and at noobie skill bracket it's unlikely that will happen and it will be more "we sucked less than them". There are absolutely heroes that can carry in this game, but you probably can't/won't play them. Also QM doesn't matter, don't take losses on the chin.

>>180423271
But I don't play either of those games. You're just as retarded as they are.

>>180422596
winrate depends on the enemies you are playing against dumbass

if your qm mmr is low enough to match you against bronze players, 46% is real bad
if you are playing matches against master-rank players 46% is pretty good (means you are probably diamond or low master)

So why draw a baseless comparison if you're clueless of either game?

I don't even know what they were doing when they had it, couldn't be more straightforward unless it moved for you.

depends how much you play. imo stimpacks are most value for gems. bulk hero levels = bulk chests. only ever buy heroes with gold, unless you really want the new release hero, in which case the gem purchase is justified since it costs the same as when the gold price goes down later.

meme answer: picking tranq passively increases your mana regen

>>180438135

Abathur's actions are subtle until you know what to look for. Ever see random crap on the floor exploding? That's him. Ever see a creature over your head? Him. Ever see two of a certain hero or a massive slug in the creep wave? That's him.

>>180438135

There's something about Xul that just says he's the one /hots/ guy that's most likely to intentionally impregnate a stranger.

i'm a little puzzled by Thrall.

it feels like i do nothing but poke and prod with chain lightning and maybe man up occasionally with windfury but at the end of the game i look at the damage meters and i'm leading my team by a comfortable 15-20k

>>180439271
Old Thrall was secretly a tank who did sustain damage on the side.
New Thrall has better poke, a fuckton more damage, and less self-sustain, but if played well the enemy team is constantly aware of his lightning, his roots, and possibly aware he also has a hammer to beat them to death with depending on the match-up.

So what is counter Malth?

Had a retarded team pick double warrior into him and he just deleted them the entire game.

Does mortal strike Varian affect his healing at all?

nowhere is safe you fucking memeslug I will find you and I will kill you.

I don't get it. Why are people in Quick Match so fucking bad? In theory, you'd think that people in unranked draft and Quick Match were the same people but they're not. The people I get in Quick Match are fucking atrocious. I get people who are 500-1k+ player level who are so bad that it's unreal.

However, when I play unranked draft, I get people who play like they're playing for their Master promotion. The people I get in unranked draft play like professionals, they're quick to react, constant communication and they know how to play regardless of their player level.

TLDR - Why the fuck are people in QM so god damn bad at the game? How? How do people who get to 1k+ plvl still suck so fucking bad?

Yes I'm mad. I just want my fucking quests done.

>>180441307

Because QM matches you with random people in the quickest method possible. Player level doesn't mean shit by the way. There's people in games like LoL who spend 1,000 games in Bronze. In draft mode, you have a MMR and it matches you with people who match your MMR. Seriously though, who the fuck plays QM other than LFR WoW raiders and noobs?

>>180450153

Didn't he come to that conclusion? It wasn't always like that.

>>180450153
His conclusion is
1. all demons should be sealed in soulstones
2. everything that could let a demon out of a soulstone should be permanently barred from doing so (2a. angels will never let demons out of soulstones)
3. the best way to permanently bar someone from taking action is to kill them
4. ???

>>180451424

>>180451490
There is no god. Angels are fragments of a primordial light just like the demons are fragments of a primordial darkness, each of which was in turn a fragment of a single cosmic entity.

>>180451646

So they're almost literally fighting themselves

>>180451490
God died fighting his evil twin brother Tathamet and now only really exists as this arch thingy that makes new angels

>>180451424
Well that was just expedience. They still wouldn't let demons out.

>>180451705
Pretty much, yeah. You could say that the nephalem are a more natural existence than either the angels or demons, since they more closely resemble the original state of the universe.

>>180451368
Yeah. He wants to end the Eternal conflict (angels vs demons). Killing all demons would end the conflict. Whoops, humans are half demon, guess they'll have to go too.

Do the other angels still talk to him? Cause there's no way they approve of his actions?
