The skin we neeeeeeeeeeed (minus the awful face the artist gave her).

I am genuinely jealous of how relaxed Stitches looks on the splash page.

Always fun when your illidan goes 0-9 in 12 minutes. Thanks. Really fun game.

I'm kinda disappointed with the summer skins, desu. We basically got 3 skins, Tychus, Tracer, Stitches, that's it. And instead of giving Stitches like 10 variations, they should've gave us more strawhats, swimsuits and feet.

I still want beach bartender Leoric. Just a skeleton in a hawaiin shirt with flower lays, swim trucks and sandals, maybe a big straw hat and sunglasses.

Swing a giant tiki totem
Wraith walk reclines in a beach chair
Drain makes a coconut drink with a straw

Entomb makes a giant tiki bar

Leoric that same match was trying to 1v5 with march of the black king

>>181206071
I could write an essay on why Illidan is inferior in almost every regard to thrall.

Both are under powered in my opion, but Thrall has far more options if you MUST blind pick a melee assassin.

>>181205509
I think it has something to do with development of the skins. If you look at a good number of the skins their skeletons are different from the original model. It seems like they make a whole new model every time not just start from a base which would take less time.

What we really need is a skin for Beach Uther.
Fuck briefs Tychus, I want casual, cute daddy Uther.

>>181206450
Zagara's (aa) damage is very low and she has long-ish cooldowns. In order to actually influence a fight she needs to be in it for long enough to get multiple rotations of her cooldowns off, without anyone diving her.

There's some neat stuff that she can do, but she's really not in all that good of a place right now. When she was at peak oppressiveness she had a ton more AA damage, which fed into infest a lot faster and she could demolish your shit *very* quickly.

>>181206515
Eh, stupid as it sounds, like Brief Tychus it's a bit much for me.

I like my beefy men to be subtle. good facial hair helps. Just not roid ragers.

>>181206450

Specialists aren't usually picked at all by pro teams since they know how to rotate efficiently. Not sure what your point is dude.

>>181207142
This
Anyone who says Xul is a good pick should be shot. He can wave clear all he wants he will still barely push any lanes and offer very little to the game. It doesn't help he is a slow and squishy while having two horrible ults that do nothing. The only saving grace might be his root, but there are way better heroes for that. Hopefully they will rework him one day.

He has to get super close to anything. Dies to a sneeze and his only talent that is worth while fucks you over by having a longer cd. It doesn't help you are forced to picks between shitty split pushing or horrible damage. I rather play Zag just running teleporting while pushing and still be able to put out a decent amount of damage.

I rather like the Tracer skin. It has a lot of effects for an epic, with the AAs being water, the splish and splash on her teleport and the water balloon pulse.

The part that really annoys me is that she's wearing her weird ass regular shoes. Could've easily been barefoot or have sandals.

>>181211920
>>181212223
In QM it's about personal stats, staying alive, and partaking in really stupid fights.
In ranked, you have people who are trying to do objectives properly and play the map, with only a small percentage (small but significant) who play it like it's QM.

>>181212223

Do you think they have the balls to give another character the shitty useless mutalisk ultimate? What's he going to do when he can't infest buildings and Sylvanus proved infesting enemies is the most useless ability in the game?
I think he's going to have his little community center follow after him and he's going to be like a specialist version of Rexxar. On his own he's basically Raynor with the acid spit instead of a shotgun blast. But his other spells can be cast from the community center while he stays safely at a distance. If you command it to stay in place it spawns dudes to push the lane and spawns creep that spreads for up to 3k vision.

>>181217938
Though it was technically just a rescale, it does effectively make you do much more damage at higher health, while still doing similar damage prepatch with extremely low health.

>>181218153
>can't infest buildings
what makes you so sure? Blizzard has proven before that they don't mind trying to do unique things once in a while. If they pussy out I'd be pretty pissed but there's a pretty good chance he might have some building shenanigans going on

I made the realization after the match as to why I play specialists so damn much- you can just fuck off and do basically PvE shit all match and handily win the game. Hooking an Azmodan into a group of three other people and watching him just waddle away while my team rotates away is frustrating as shit.

Is Gilnean Cocktail build significantly better than any other for Greymane?
Sure, killing people who went behind their gates by shooting a cocktail at them is pretty fun, but other than that is feels like I can get kills more reliably while in Worgen form, when I can always target specifically who I want to targer.

>>181221453

Specialists are just more interesting to play as.

>TLV can split push all three lanes and soak XP, and have a decent escape mechanism, and a powerful ult that negates two of the vikings dying. It's three mini Murkies.

>Zagara (aka best Bugfu) shits ALL OVER a lane and spams roachlings at shit. Medusa blades to fuck up minion waves, and sending Hydralisks to get enemy heroes to fuck off. Combined with the speed buff the creep gives, Zagara can run away to behind a gate pretty safely.

>Azmodan either drinks black kool-aid and dunks entire minion waves and hero health bars to half, or laser builds to melt heroes too distracted to notice they're melting.

> Medivh can be an untouchable scout birb.

As for special other heroes, Cho'Gall is a Co-Op hero that offers great meme plays if you're in voice chat with another person.

Otherwise you're a Bruiser/Ranged assassin beating up enemy heroes, Mages that pray not to get smacked by roamers, roamers bursting down, and everybody else just doing their thing.

>>181221773
Why would you want this? All this does it make them op for a bit until they nerf them to an unusable point. I rather them be somewhat decent and just get a few buffs to compensate so they are always relevant.

>>181221453
Depending on how many hours a day you play, but considering you are here in this general then yes, I'd say it is.

>>181221771
More or less. Worgen form is more of a gap closer/finisher to chase down fleeing heroes. Otherwise Cocktails and Cursed bullets are usually the safest path.

You must be livid azmodan can soak multiple lanes with his trait.

Xul has his niches. While not great in a fight on his own, he does provide some lockdown with bone prison and a lot of slow with skeletal mages, he can be a bit hard to take down cause of his shield (which can also do 15% max hp in damage). He reduces attack speeds too.

If you're playing with an aggressive ganker like genji or greymane, xul becomes a *lot* better. On his own he's somewhat meh aside from his ability to doublesoak and shove.

Minor tweaks to his cooldowns would make him a *lot* better, as well as combining some of his skeleton talents.

Al'maiesh - The cord of hope when wrapped around someone makes them feel warm, calm and comforted, it helps clear their mind and resolve their woes.

When used against enemies it burns and sears them and can bind them in fiery chains.

It is basically a million loving hugs or a million really rapey hugs. On top of that Auriel has the most perfect voice in all the heavens and leads the choir of angels in singing to the crystal arch when its time to pop out new angels quickly. Auriel is also the most beloved angel in all the heavens.

Auriel is basically top tier angel waifu material, being the pop idol of the heavens. She also is probably into (loving) bdsm because of the rapescarf.

or just making his trait pop a skeleton mage every 4 skeleton raised, and giving him lower CD on shield and more HP to be in line with other bruisers.

lots of heroes are in an odd spot now because they were released during the design philosophy shift, compare Samuro to Valeera for example

how boring. a cross of raynor and valla without anything fun in the kit

where's the hover bombs? the remote wasps? the levitator?

>>181224472
Probably. He may not have been available to be used due to being on an older patch for previous games.

>>181224494
>>181224328
Evade would have to be a manual evade like in the game Blackthorne.

So skill shots or whatever else you'd have to manually evade by pressing W. Could it work?

>>181224520
Can't wait to see his win rate in pro games.

>>181224563
Evade would make him drop to the ground or something while skillshots passed by overhead

Gameplay-wise, it would probably just treat his character as if it were in Medivh's bird form for x seconds

>>181224663
Depends on the patch they're on, he can be somewhat absurd.

>>181224513
bombs, wasps, and the levitator could be through talents or a R2

>>181224707

Why are the KR casters so terrible?

People make fun of Gilly and Dread, but at least they're interesting and actually know stuff about the game.

This KR caster is like "Malth IEL's damage is trait damage. So Anub'arak's uhh.. uhh.... thing won't do any less damage from it."

Literally a quote from less than 30 seconds ago

>>181225001
ALSO
what is up with the observer? The camera mode isn't in the smooth hovering camera but some stiff camera like he's actually playing the game and dragging his mouse over the minimap.

How do people watch this garbage and how does blizzard let it go through?

>>181225093
ALSO
just noticed the mouse on the minimap, which means that the observer is using arrow keys to move around

>>181225001
>>181225093
>>181225169


Actually, you know what? Why is HGC Korrea in a completely different format than the US/EU ones? The casters are sitting down at a desk instead of standing at a fancy table with fancy lighting based on the map selection. The graphics (like scoreboards and upcoming matches, not in game graphics) are completely different. The casters look like they were recruited from local soup kitchens.

It's like not even real HGC.

>>181225001
The fuckers don't even know that %health damage has a cap. 3652+4%/lvl. It's 3800 at level 1, 8000 at level 20, and about 15000 at level 30.

If something has more hp, you still only treat it as though it's at the cap.

Ever since the patch a few weeks ago I can't fucking figure out when dailies fucking reset. Jesus fucking Christ this stupid fucking game.

>>181224728
He's absurd on both patches. He honestly potentially got buffed if you can get 5 targets. 5% armor > .5% health from trait

NA doesn't even meme this hard.

>>181225661
it's 1% extra with memento. but yeah, slightly higher skill floor.

"Malthael will heal Chromie when he attacks her, basically."
~Actual quote, KR casters

>>181225976
Kr casters failing to realize that a lot of malthael's damage comes from Q, So yeah while he does work better on high HP targets, he's also pretty good against low HP targets.

He's also pretty sticky, even if he has issues chasing cho'gall around. Entomb is better vs cho'gall because it prevents cho from running.

Rag will do a bit better later on vs malthael.

>>181226176
"temporal loop, temporal loop, temporal loop" "Chromie is now level 10, can take temporal loop".

Chromie has slowing sands, and had it for 3 levels before the casters realized.

>>181226438
yeah cause auriel doesnt like hard counters temporal loop.
thats kr casting for ya.

>>181226489
Medivh too. With a basic ability. they can either aegis it, or they can just use medivh bullshit to soak the damage.

>>181226489
Yeah, I don't know. I'm still triggered by this observer and not using the smooth camera mode.

Cho'gall auriel medivh confirmed new braxis meta.

>>181226176
Ragnaros should have gone lava wave. Enemy team has issues with rotation and waveclear, just fucking shove a lane on cooldown.

>MVP Black lost to Cho'Gall comp

>>181226901
They probably expected an easy win and got tilted.

MEMED TO DEATH

>>181227067
>>181226901
They played it correctly in the early game. They shoved top lane hard before the beacons came up.

What they really needed was lava wave to turn the thumbscrews on the weaknesses of the enemy comp - low waveclear and bad rotations.

Also what the fuck are these casters talking about "low auto attack range with bronze talons on chromie" she has fucking close to 8 aa range with talons.

>>181225001
They are dock workers. No sane caster would apply to work for hots.

in this game woman wear shorts, and men thongs...

I...I'm new. Started with 2.0, fully admit I am a noob, but have made an effort go get better via understanding map mechanics, individual hero abilities, counters, drafting etc. I have no doubt I've utterly nuked my QM MMR by leveling as many characters as possible to 5 to understand how they work + figure out what I like

I'm doing my placements right now, fully expect to be placed bronze, but...I don't understand. My last three games have involved being yelled at that we don't have enough tanks (we had a Jo and I was Deha), being told "NOBODY SOAKS IN RANKED" when I went to soak mid and asked someone to soak bot because we were 8 and enemy was 10, being told Kerrigan was "a bad healer" (???) as well as bad on infernal shrines. Samuro first bans (???), Uther last pick solo healer when enemy team had no stun/root/silence and mostly ability dmg. Idgi, I look at some of the profiles of my teammates and they're like...people who've been playing a year, level 600s, etc. Does this shit actually get better?

That's exactly what I did m8. I took the time to learn how most of the heroes work, and can comfortably play 3-4 heroes for each role, and somehow people don't seem to get fundamental rules like "don't teamfight a talent down, don't teamfight outnumbered, soak every lane to 10-12" and that's not even getting into map specific shit like drafting for single target dps on BoE, bribe/siege on Hanamura, mercenary lord gimmicks on Mines, etc

Isn't half his kit all about map presence and threatening mind games? Feels like a major part of what makes him so good is that his mobility functions as pseudo global letting him easily soak multiple lanes while threatening ganks.

>>181233927
No his kit is about dealing unpunishable, hence huge dps and going in with your super balanced dragonblade when they inevitably get low on hp. Just use one of your get out of jail cards every time they try to hard engage you. Genji will be immensely retarded as long as his sustained damage stays both strong and super safe since he can both enable himself too easily and contribute in a fight even if he shouldn't be able to.

Good thing the vast majority of hots players have godawful mechanics / game sense and just dash in like retards because any non retarded genji makes me want to shoot myself and my dog.

I don't think structure memes will happen because it punishes you for winning and that's stupid and unfun.

C-string panties.

>>181235781

as someone who never played brood war/schots and only has a rudimentary level of knowledge of his shit

d: infest friendly structure, making it put out # extra minions and have better defense/hp
q: infested bunker, put down a little bunker that can block chokepoints and spawns a marine every so often, using q again makes it grow legs and walk to new target location
w: infested civilians, after a short delay make a bunch of shitty little zerg dudes appear like zombie wall but more offensive
e: spine arm, his zergy arm reaches super far and pokes someone, making them visible in a large area for a while
r1: aleksander, his ship appears and starts dropping civilians and bombs on target location, cross between azmodan and raynors ultis
r2: infested siege tank, summons a destructable tank that simultaneously whips nearby enemies and fires infested marines at the nearest structure

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

Tuesday patch notes leak

>Changes to Quick Match
>>Removed ability to select Hero before queuing for Quick Match
>>Upon finding a suitable match, all ten players will enter Hero select at the same time
>>Heroes are first come, first serve. Lock in your Hero and go.
>>No duplicate Heroes on the same team. Mirror matches are enabled.

>>Developer Comment: Quick Match has long struggled to find suitable matches with a balanced distribution of player skill and Heroes selected. This change completely removes the need to search for unique Heroes, allowing for faster game finding. In addition, players will know which map they are entering before selecting a Hero, helping players select their own compositions to fit better with one another. There is no ban phase and players do not take turns locking in heroes. The enemy team's hero pool is not revealed until all heroes have been locked in. We will be monitoring and making adjustments to this new system as time progresses.

>>181238832
Why is twin blade so popular, it's awful

>>181239153
i would actually like that.

>>181239298

>>181239153

i want to believe

>play colossus smash
>catch any motherfucker in a bad position
>delete him instantly
I stopped rolling taunt even when our team doesn't have tanks, it's too fun
