So what does everyone think will be the main build for stukov?

My guess
1 - none seem to really stand out
4- Vigorous Reuptake
7- Targeted Excision
10- Flailing Swipe
13- Virulent Reaction
16- Pox Populi
20- could be either Controlled Chaos or Bio-Explosion Switch
>>
>>181324583
Although now that I think about it with targeted excision it'd probably be best to get poppin pustules at level 1.

>>
>>181331154
Jaina being easy is a meme, she's basically not picked every in competitive because she actually requires a comp to work around her to setup for her massive burst damage

And the fact she has no "press button to not die" escape

Mercy is literally Morales with some tweaks. Either she's an inferior single target sustain healer or a better one, there's no two ways around it because they can't add Mercy without her beam.

>>181335750
Was thinking the same thing. Not counting the healer they have 25 deaths and half the siege damage output of the enemy team. My money is they teamfight under lvl all game.
>>
>>181336051
I think the issue is rank isn't based on personal play. You could have MVP and play gold lvl 24/7 but if your team refuses to win, you are stuck at Bronze 5 for life.

yes it's totally my fault when half of my matches are with level 160 players who throw the game when their insta-prepick is banned/picked or who firstpick nova

>>181336327
guns are expensive and so is the license
>>
>>181336280
You go for camps after:
A successful Push on a fort where you beech the gates (so get the ones in that fort)
After a obj resolves (so after the curse lifted on Hollows)
When enemy team is wiped or preoccupied
>>
>>181331154
Ignore that. Valla is also labled but isn't that easy to play well.
>>
>>181336469
No but it is your fault that you broke all that stuff, hinting at some issues you need to take care off.

What rank are you in anyway?
>>
>>181336528
I was placed in silver 1, climbed to plat 3 and now am back down to gold 4
>>
>>181336736
So why be mad about it? Just keep playing, the whole point of climbing is to climb, naturally you'll drop but keep playing and you'll go back up. If you take every loss to the nutbag you'll end up offing yourself from rage for literally no reason.
>>
>>181336495

At what level though? With warriors I'm guessing. Assassins? Specialists? Supports probably not.
>>
>>181336117
Right? If I compare comps the other shouldnt be even fighting 5v5 that comp is so shit. Maybe a good gravo bomb wombo?
>>
>>181336895
On cursed hallow, always get the seige camp closest to your base at 2 minutes. It puts a 50% chance to get value out of it when your team goes for the objective at aroudn 2:45-3:00

Other than that, just take them before the objective generally speaking. Heroes that are good at taking camps are generally solo laners like Malthael, Thrall, Sonya, Gazlowe, Probius, Rexxar, Illidan, heroes with Bribe, etc. Use your better judgment.
>>
>>181336895
It really depends on the character.
>>
>>181336878
yeah it's so nice to lose literally all my progress in a single day because the game matches me with 3-4 people who are so far bellow my level that there is nothing I can do from minute 3 because the enemy team is already 2 levels ahead, it's so fun to always end up placed at least 2 leagues bellow where I should be because my QM MMR is garbage and seeds me with absolute losers so I end up winning 1-2 placement matches at best.
I'm consistently teamed with people who throw games because I tell them that their pre-pick is a bad choice on map/against the enemy comp.
>>
>>181337102
You are the problem. Doesn't matter how good you think you play if you're a flaming rager in games and cause yourself and others to go off the rocker because you want things your way.

You aren't unique. People post their "muh team" stories all the time and they are all the same. Just because you think you're "so polite" doesn't mean you actually are, and the fact that you throw an actual tantrum IRL when you lose or don't get your way in a video game proves this.

>>181336280
>When do I go for mercenary camps?
depends on the map. but generally prior to objectives. there are a few exceptions though.
>hanamura
if you have bribe, take the hard camp on CD. take the turret camp as you pass next to it while you escort the objective with a teammate or two, take sentry camps on cd. exp is important on hanamura more than the actual camp items.
>haunted mines
take sappers whenever you can, since everyone jumps on them as soon as they spawn. take giants prior to mines opening
>towers
try to take before objectives,but also doesnt really matter. what matters with sappers is that you try to escort them so that they blow up. sappers also hit core if they reach the read zone behind a keep.
>shrines
before objectives. less important for goats, very important for shamans.
>boe
same as shrines. you usually wont get shamans during the first immortal, but for second and each one after, the announcer gives you enough time to go to the camp and cap it.
>tosq
camps absolutely not important. you dont even have to bother taking. can help a bit if you know the enemy is turning in, to depush mid.
>sky temple
siege giants should be taken as soon as they spawn, and promptly escorted, so that you can chunk the bottom wall, and healing well if you're lucky, since the second temple is always going to be bot. take knights a minute or so after the last shot of the first temple phase was fired, so that it can push top lane while everyone is bot.
>garden
try to take them right before the night sets in

>>181337959
>>181336280
>bhb
have a dedicated player to camp literally all game, taking everything on cooldown. timing absolutely unimportant.
>dragon shire
same `prior to objective` rule applies. use the camps to create pressure on one of the shrine lanes while you force a fight on the other shrine if late/mid game, or just use mercs to push bot or top hard if you have more of your players than enemies in that lane.
>cursed hollow
if youre camping on cursed you should be on the siege giant camp spawn at 1:55 and take it on cd. if you're lucky, it will push top while the tribute fight is bot or vice versa. after that, just get a feeling of when approx the next trib will spawn and take beforehand.
>braxis and warhead
the easy camp should be taken on cd. if youre solo top for instance, you can clear the wave and go cap the camp and still be back in time to soak the next wave. hard camp requires at least three people in order to not loose too much hp/mana and should be taken whenever theres nothing better to do.

>And with what chars?
sonya samuro thrall greymane rehgar zagara. everyone else wastes too much time/resources for solo clearing. have in mind the braxis/warhead easy camp can be taken by literally anyone with minimal loss of hp or mana.

stiches slam build is fun because it turns him from having literallly 1 button that has an impact on the game into having 2

how much of a whiney asshole do you have to be to do this? To not just, leave and get a bot when your team makes a non-optimal play in qm but to waste your fucking time too making sure you don't get kicked. Like it blows my mind someone would be this much of an asshole, they seem like the type to start screaming at their waiter cause an order was wrong

They were truly leagues ahead of me in game knowledge though that they think sylvanas is a good solo lane hero while my dumb pleb ass thinks she will die to their butcher repeatedly if I'm not there to spam gravity lapse on him (which is exactly what happened once I left the lane)

almost everything punishes stationary heroes. siege mode is a self-imposed root. Half the reason Malf is valued so highly is because of his root.

you shouldn't be sieging up hardly at all anyway. Only to kill minion waves or to get a few hits in on buildings while you know it is safe to do so (eg. you just saw all the problematic heroes on the opposite end of the map)

siege mode does the same damage as normal mode except for splash. Very small splash at that.

In his defense I do this when my team is really bad too. Take this example of a Quickmeme I had today:
>Sky Temple
>my team iirc was: Diablo, Rehgar, Tassadar(me), Malthael and Alarak
>late game we have a huge advantage
>ALL their keeps are down
>we still have 1 fort and all keeps
>still, the match has gone in some kind of stalemate because my team decided to scatter and do stupid shit
>Diablo and Rehgar 1v5 repeatedly and feed continuously
>finally lose whats left of my patience when enemy team is capping our Bruiser Camp
>Diablo rushes in, despite me pinging 1 gorillion times retreat and telling him in chat to wait for us
>Diablo dies
>Rehgar goes and do the exact same thing

After that I just sat afk in lane and stopped participating, it was obvious these people didnt want to win, so I was not going to waste my time either. In the end we lost and they had the nerve to say
>gg tassadar
>report tassadar
Score screen comes up, me, Alarak and Malthael have around 4-5 deaths each. Rehgar and Diablo have 11-12.

TLDR, if people are doing retarded shit despite being warned repeatedly, then ill throw the game.

Practice most likely

I am playing on Medium and I can spot them just fine.

The cloak is actually fairly well done imo. It's not really noticeable if you are not scanning your field of view for it, but if you are looking for the shimmer it's pretty easy to spot.

Only time they get the jump on me is when they catch me with my pants down, and the thought of a cloaker being nearby didn't even occur to me.

I think my biggest problem is when the enemy team keeps killing my waves in lane so that I can never distribute the damage so every wave is only 1-3 stacks for the first 10 minutes. So the answer is probably to not take TFB when the enemy has good wave clear or they keep chasing you around.

She should honestly be classified as a tank. It's actually impossible to kill that hero if she doesn't play like a fucking idiot. Or I guess you don't have three seconds of stuns, can dive in on pilot, and still come out of the explosion in one piece.

A hero that tanky who doesn't actually die when they're killed has no excuse having Tracer's mobility.

>>181366948
There are some useless never picked talents (shield on death level 1 for example) but there is a lot of variation you can do. You can go passive fire or hp regen. You can go extra damage level 1 if they have squishies and you expect to die a lot over the nuke damage. I wouldn't mind seeing a minor quest for him though like maybe mana reduction on smite/might.
>>
>>181367184
There's basically two variations and that (Do I have support or not)

You get burning rage and burst shield or you get shield regen and shield CDR

That's not variation. Though, his ults are now perfectly competitive now and that's good.

"E Quest, Kill 80 enemies within 1.5 seconds of hitting them with E. Reward: E does more damage, gives a better move speed, and hits a bigger area. Passive: E costs 20 less mana."

>>181367108
That talent exists for when Leoric is dual-soaking.
Sure it can get some extra damage at the start of a team-fight, but really the reason you take it is because on medium sized maps like sky temple, you can E from one lane to the next with extended duration, wipe a wave then spoop your way back to the original lane to do it there too.
This is assuming your team is deathballing to keep the enemy busy of course.

On spider queen you're still better taking Fealty in most situations, and on most other maps you're still better taking either the more healing or +25 armor for your escape/chase.
>>
>>181367108
you take that plus the extended wraithwalk duration at 7 and just float between two lanes bopping creeps

Holy Ground straight up needs to be baked into Q as a small quest like Tyrande's quests are.

It's required for Tyrael without question, just make it baseline and gate it behind a quest that finishes around level 13-16 and it will be gucci.

Once quest is completed he has 40% movement speed for 5s every time he leaves a vent/bush. Removes his one weakness of poor mobility, makes him good at ganks and running people down, let's him rotate extremely fast if he's not solo landing. Absolutely absurd on smaller maps like Tomb too

Unless you plan on going esports pro, there's no real incentive to get better at the game.

That's what I'm talking about.
Take old tf2 pubs for example.
As you got better at the game, pubs would become more fun, because as you got better you'd start to less become the one who gets shit on and start becoming the one who shits on shitters. You feel progression, you feel that learning what to do and what not to do actually have an impact on how you play or how the match goes.
On HotS it feels completely static. I feel like it doesn't matter at all whether I group with my team for an objective or I die 1v5 like a retard, because if I lose now, I'm just going to win the next one and vice versa. Decisions just stop mattering entirely because most outcomes are already predetermined here.
I've been playing this game for 2 years now and I unironically don't know if I've learned a single thing or gotten any better because there's nothing to show for it.

Protoss is probably the best, Artanis and Alarak are a decent frontline, Probius is good pushing power, and Zeratul is Zeratul so he's pretty much good no matter what. Only somewhat weak part is Tassadar only truly gets good use of his plasma shield off Artanis

Terrans have no warrior so they're kinda screwed, and they also have Nova, who is basically Zeratul's counterpart in that she's always bad
>>
>>181336495
You can go camps to leverage the ability to do/take things elsewhere. You can also go camps before an objective spawns so that people need to deal with the camp before they can contest the objective (or they take a lot of damage from the camp in exchange for contesting the objective).

The first strategy is fairly popular on braxis and dragon shire. Firebat camps on braxis aren't the most damaging things ever, but they can help secure a beacon. Siege camps on dragon shire are quite good at helping secure beacon.

Latter is quite good on maps like sky temple, cursed hollow or infernal shrines.

It being termed a channel is deceiving. There are three types of channels in-game.
There are map objective channels, hearthstones, and mounts. All are broken by all damage and all cc.
There are immobile channels, like Mind Control. They are broken by displacement abilities like knockbacks, as well as stuns and silences, but not damage.
There are mobile channels like Azmo's laser. They are interrupted only by stuns and silences.

He channels for like 0.5 seconds and then the laser is basically "tethered" to the enemy until they leave the area or his tether is broken by outranging or making him unable to cast (silence/stun). Since he can move while channeling it baseline, moving him by force by Lucio's boop or otherwise will not cancel his cast.

My comment.
Hammer is basically Sylvanas. Win a teamfight, get a keep for free.
Cho'Gall (assuming you can find a random to play with) is the most broken hero against the unprepared. People won't punish his early game and then will lose to his broken late game.
Tyrande is a full healer at low mmr. By far the weakest on your list, but certainly not impossible.
Medic makes your team immortal if you don't get dove or coordinate bursted. Guess what doesn't happen in low mmr?

Congratulations. You are 20% of the hots playing population.

I used to be like you, I mostly play unranked now, with binges on HL whenever I work-up the nerve. But when I'm tired or just want to relax, it's back to vs AI where I can just fuck around with builds and interactions.
Only advice I can really give is just do it,
learn the importance of talking before game,
and realize that the people who get salty after-the-fact are just shitters.

I feel like people who are amazed by that Overwatch rip-off have never heard of 300 Heroes.

Unfortunately they've since removed Shrek and WALL-E, but there's still a shitload of stolen property in it. And yes, it too has a Sephiroth.

vs. AI is by far the superior way to get dailies done. Games are faster, guaranteed wins, can play whatever hero you want, stress free. Quick Match isn't even HotS. It's a fucking random clusterfuck. Unranked queues are too long. Ranked is the only way to play, but it's perfectly reasonable to not want to "try" and also not have to see idiots ping dumb fucking shit, not know how to draft, not know how to play their heroes, not take free ganks with you, not initiate 100% winnable fights, not heal you because "you're not the tank, valla," people picking fucking vikings on hanamura because "it pushes duh objektive fastur!!"

Honestly the game is a fucking cancer all things considered, and it's all because of the other human interaction. Vs. AI completely takes out every cancerous thing about HotS. Unforunately it also takes out literally everything about HotS.

Right, gave it my best. This is in terms of very high level play, as in grandmaster minimum, since if you're making a tier list based on averages or low level play, you should use hotdogs since its effectively random. I should preface by saying I have been grandmaster every season. I reckon this list is 97% accurate. I have tried to keep judgment calls to a minimum, the notable exceptions being Illidan and Cho'Gall. Here comes the wall of text.

>Tier 1
Malthael is broken and shits on double tank.
Uther is by far the best healer.
Anub's Rewind and Webwrap are broken.
Genji is solid and the best assassin that doesn't require a comp.

That should be pretty much undebatable.

CONTINUED
>>
>>181406962
>Tier 2
Dehaka is the best global ingame, solid tank, solid damage, solid waveclear. Dropped from t1 to t2 due to his recent nerf.
Auriel is definitely the best healer, but she lacks ability to deal with poke and (pre-10) CC. She also requires a battery.
Tass gives waveclear and vision, and keeps your squishy crown target alive. Losing 10% attack damage ain't killing him anytime soon.
Valla/Lunara/Cassia: squishy crown target. Valla is the top of the bunch on average, but the others are situationally better. All three are better than Genji with a proper comp, and they are what make Auriel and Tass good.
Arthas/Stitches: Strong tanks, best after Anub and Dehaka, though as always, situationally better (both are notable for their synergy with cass and lunara's bonus damage against slowed targets)
Guldan/Grey: Both strong heroes, hampered a bit by their 4.5% scaling, so a bit weaker early game. Can't go wrong as mid draft picks.
Illidan has a global, and loves double healer and double tank comps, both with and against. If you pick a burst comp to deal with illidan, you die to the current meta. Only really viable damage bruiser after Malthael, as well.

>Tier 3
Reh/Malf/BW/Monk: rest of the viable healers. Pick situationally. Reh and BW are arguably the best due to cleanse, but they have much less healing (malf) or damage (monk).
Chromie/Kael/Ming: rest of the viable mages. All have their strengths and weaknesses.
Zera is the only viable stealth, VP and Rewind will always make sure he is good.
Cho'Gall is fantastic with Auriel and he really puts a lot of pressure on the enemy since he can't be CC'd if talented right.
Sonya/Leo/Ty/Chen: solid bruisers, which can maintank in the case of tyrone.

CONTINUED
>>
>>181406857
Archon.

ALWAYS ARCHON
>>
>>181406993
Fals/Tracer/Tychus: Backup damage.
Rag/Ala: Burst Bruisers, not really in favor at the moment. Could drop them both down a tier, but I think that's unfair.
Abathur kills your early game for an unbeatable level 20. Good luck getting to it, though.
Diab/Var/ETC/Mura: Decent backup tanks.

>Tier 4
Art/Rex: low damage bruisers. Situtional for bear or blind.
Lucio/Lili: healers that can't save a target.
Zarya/Dva: defensive bruisers. not really enough value
Medic: healing, and nothing else.
Naz/Azmo/Sylv/Zag/Ham: average teamfights, solid specialists.
Vikes: nothing to be said here.
thrall/kerri: squishy bruisers
joh: low cc, low mobility tank. she's got waveclear, but not a global, so there's that.
medivh: half a hero without master's touch done.
valera: saved from tier 5 because at least she's not nova or samuro.

medivh could arguably be moved up one, but his reliance on master's touch means a single death and you're fucked.

>Tier 5
Tyrande: lol
Gaz/Probe: builders are bad.
Murky: it dies and then you're 4v5.
Xul: basically a rag without any teamfight at all.
Butcher: spend 10 minutes farming or be useless.
Nova: basically is a stealthed jaina without waveclear
jaina: too much BGC means zero mobility
zul/ray: zero mobility, selfhealing are both impossible to get off. basically valla/luna/cass if they sucked.
Samuro: negative damage. only hero in the game that actually helps the enemy by finishing their quest. basically a murky though, since he runs away and comes back. too bad that's worthless outside of bronze.

As I said, this is assuming heroes to played to near their max capability. Otherwise, hotslogs winrate is your best judge, since it's impossible for it to be wrong on that. Hopefully I didn't miss anyone. I'm betting on Stukov being Tier 2, as well. Unless his numbers are completely fucked.
>>
>>181407060
Stukov can heal his whole team for 500 health

Uther can heal 1 person for 390

His numbers will be fucked

Take Templar's Will. Take Lifesteal. Take either all vision talents, or all the talents that debuff enemies. Both ults are good, though I'd recommend Archon every time with randoms.

As a post script, I honestly probably shoulda left Dehaka in t1. Also, this list simply means what is optimal. This is me >>181400262

Newfriend here, what's a crown target?

>>181407441
auriel trait (d)
>>
>>181407441
It is Auriel's trait.

Passive: 40% of the damage you deal to Heroes and 8% dealt to non-Heroes is stored as energy. Bestow an allied Hero with Hope. While they remain near you, damage they deal causes you to gain energy. You can only have Bestow Hope on 1 ally at a time. You can store up to 505 (+4% per level) energy.

Energy is converted at a 1 to 1 rate for her AoE healing ability, which has a 2 second cooldown starting at level 7.
>>
>>181407501
Also, the wiki is outdated, big surprise. It's only 5% to non-heroes. Basically, why she struggles against poke. Very low healing if you're not actively fighting.

>>
>>181407856
Chromie gets talents 2 levels earlier, her waveclear is comparable with Kael if you use your W, and she can do it from farther away. She also provides vision, and has easiest to get infinite mana (ming requires constant orbs, and kael needs a bunch of orbs early game). She also has strong AA damage and her time stops are incredibly annoying, as is her time loop.
Kael and Ming are by no means bad, but I think Chromie can hold her own with them. Situationally, of course.
>>
>>181408097
Naz falls into the Butcher trap of requiring farming. Obviously not so much, and it doesn't have to be at first, but still. Not to mention, a bot ult, telegraphed skills, and his powerspike is honestly overrated compared to something like Abathur or Cassia.

>>181410723
Fel flame is on a 1.5s cd, it requires *no talents or buildup to clear waves in 3 or 4 casts*.

Azmodan orb hits as hard as 2 uther AA's without talents; uther AA does not oneshot anything. So you have to take a talent and then spend a bunch of time farming stacks, and even with the much easier to complete Sieging Wrath minions eventually outscale because warrior minions eventually get 1400 HP. It also costs a reasonably large chunk of azmo's mana pool unless he goes shitty talents.

Gul'dans mana sustain is really good too.
>>
>>181410883
duh, everyone knows that it is only safe to take the boss when their team is dead. you should have joined on boss and pinged it 1000 times to get sylva to help out (she disables non-heroes) so 100% safe boss. then, instead of pushing with boss, you should have gone around the map and taken all the merc camps. Since the enemy respawned, it probably wouldn't be safe to go near their base. So after making sure you collected your 2/3 cruse, you should have cleared your minion waves up to their keep walls.

it's the only way to win you bronze shitter

Lol wut? He gets ganked extremely fucking easily, he's hilariously unsafe, he doesn't actually splitpush well, his only global is his trait Laser chews through his mana pool (because you took a stacking talent at level 1) he doesnt have any passive push (because you took black pool). Maybe in fucking bronze league is he the best splitpusher.

Zagara and Abathur are much better splitpushers. Zagara empowers minions with infest (and archers do a ton of damage to other minions and structures), mutalisk is hilariously strong, Nydus worms give zag a ton of sustain, zag can still shit a ton of things into a teamfight, tumors give vision so you can bug out before rotations come, on top of that she has fury of the storm so her lategame waveclear is insane (and it feeds into infest).

Xul also has absurdly quick waveclear and can still jump into a teamfight and provide a ton of value.

Lucio is the most boring hero

Raynor because you literally can't even press E unless you take a talent. A 2 button hero in a 3 button game. And his W doesn't even do anything physically. It just grants an aura.

How can we convince Blizzard to add an East Coast server, and a Southern server on top of Central / West? Perhaps even a "Northern Server" somewhere in Manitoba or Alberta?

The lag is fucking stupid. Sometimes feels like molasses despite a decent connection / directly connected.

MVP Black and BlossoM both ran Cho'Gall against each other (one game each) and won both games just yesterday or the day before.

Cho'gall meta in KR
>>
>>181413603
Well Cho'gall IS stupid good after the rework, just picking one or two counters isn't enough to automatically win against him anymore, you actually need to play well too.
Of course, picking Cho'gall into Leoric Anub Greymane on something like Warhead Junction is still super fucking risky, but on smaller maps like Tomb or Dragon Shire it -can- work out.

Medivh is definitely a sliding tier hero depending on skill. Medivh is nearly invulnerable if he truly does not wish to die, getting stacks of touch is not something I worry about, I've only failed to get it in like one game where we were getting ultra-mega-raped due to having exceptionally shitty teammates.

At his best, he's tier 2. At his worst, tier 50. With a team that is willing to portal dive with you, he's tier 1.

I would say similar about chromie. Good chromie tier 2, bad chromie tier 4, decent tier 3.

extension to >>181415042

also the portal duration is critical to the very aggressive way I play medivh because people feel large pressure from the portal even being there due to me randomly popping through and giving them a cheeky blast or two, the duration combined with the cooldown reduction means you always have a portal available, which is nice

Cydaea, Maiden of Lust
>qt spider girl
Z: Silkweb, allows Cydaea to rise up onto a web above the battlefield. Allows faster movespeed and invulnerability. Constantly taunts enemy team while on the Silkweb.

D: Power from Pain: as her health drops, Cydaea recharges all of her cooldowns at increasing rate, while her taunting phrases become more and more threatening (as opposed to originally mocking ones).

Q: Poison Spit. Cydaea spits poison towards her foes. Basically Lunara's auto attack except in a cone shape.

W: Impaling Limb: Cydaea impales foe on her forelimb, rooting them in place and dealing high damage.

E: Net Toss: Cydaea tosses a web on the ground, making it sticky and difficult to move across. Foes directly hit by the initial toss will be rooted and attacked by spiders dropping from the Silkweb.

R1: Spiderling Pit: Cydaea drops a toxic pool underneath her, constantly spawning spiders to attack everything nearby, focusing on heroes first before pushing lane and buildings. Can be used from the Silkweb.

R2: Children of Lust: Cydaea summons a vanguard of succubi, following her around and casting Bloodstar at Cydaea's targets. Bloodstar applies a curse to enemies that cause high damage when the enemy uses abilities.

>>
>>181416789
I think he's fine, he expands on an otherwise generic character outside of his design.

I think the kit expands like I said. Sure he could have been a spawner type hero but I remember feeling like that was so lazy when he was revealed in SC2 to be that way.

He was a pilot afterall.
>>
Is it just me or does strafe not do very much? When should I be using it? I try it in the middle of a crowd and nobody seems to lose much health. Is it not an AOE? Should I be using it while someone is alone? The description says visible enemies, but for all I know, that's just one random person each tick.

Strafe doesn't do very much.
You should only be using it against teams that have an Uther, as using Rain against an Uther team just risks giving them more armor.
It does hit one enemy per tick, and is mostly used for splashing a bit of damage across every enemy within range, or making sure to murder that one guy whom you can't stutter step or Q to take out.
In theory you only take it against teams that have no sustain, but the stun is still much better in most circumstances.

He was the adviser to the admiral leading the UED expedition.

lul what? He was a fucking admiral, got backstabbed, was experimented on by an xel'naga (samir) and brought back from death, then fucked over again, and rescued by Kerrigan to serve as one of her advisers.

His coop incarnation in SC2 was lazy as fuck. He just spawns Infeted Terran out of thin air, lol what?

>>181406993
>Stitches: Strong tank
How build/play? I get that slam/trait talents make him a solid bruiser because of trait gas (and late game peel with slow on slam) but he's less durable. Getting tank talents gives him more survivability esp vs mages but utterly neuters his damage it feels.

Plus almost every time I hook a dude I can't do shit because my team doesn't follow up and he just runs away. Is he really one of those damage or durability dudes who can enable picks with hooks but not actually do anything impactful if his team is bad?

Legit curious because I enjoy playing him and think he's decent but 90% of the tier lists I see have him pretty low

Seriously, people make fun of Dred and Gilly, but at least they know things about the game. Gilly is like a walking encyclopedia of talents and knows every team's usual picks in draft, who plays which heroes, and so on. Dread is full of random trivia about the game that is at least mostly related. And when the games are boring (see team freedom vs naventic), they manage to keep up the conversation with amusing anecdotes.
>>
>>181418495
Quality tags like legendary are only there to determine how rarely you get them from crates.
>>
>>181418495
Heroes are 15000 gold for two weeks after release, then they drop to 10000 gold. They'll drop further after that after some random amount of time passes when they become less popular (usually months away).

Legendary, Epic, and such are just completely arbitrary, don't pay attention to that. For example, Xul is 10k hero but is only epic. He's also trash tier hero, never pick unless ruining quick play for other people.

Since they're in the standard spectator mode, you can see the observer's mouse. Which the observer uses to click around the mini-map to find interesting things to look at. BUT THEN HE LEAVES IT ON THE MINI-MAP. A giant mouse cursor that covers up a section of it.

It's still not impossible they might chuck him into HotS at some point. It's not like all of the D3 classes don't have enough kit to make at least another HotS hero is it?

the game bugged out
it probably caught that li li's heal happened to li ming the instant died
the death was likely contributed to whoever modified (e.g. healed or wounded) li ming's health last
because li li managed to heal li ming the instant she died it bugged out and contributed the kill to her
this seems to be exclusive to the kill feed display as the exp is still granted to the blue team
another picture was floating around where lucio allegedly killed himself which is probably the same bug in action

keep an eye that players are also quitting OW PC because the hype is dying, pros are pissed off with blizzard's attitude and "forced contract bullshit", the balance is dead, the Loot system is a failure, even china almost sued blizzard for that.

Also, Rapha and most of the FPS pros couldn't participate the 1mi QC tournament Qualifiers atm because of the OW tournament

ironically blizzard its now on "damage control" mode with OW, PCG and some websites became infested with OW news articles and Ads over this week

Jokes on you, Blizzard seems to be sliding their support mentality from MMO healers to LoL/DotA CC supports (ward&stunbitches).
Just wait for the incoming Morales support where they completly gut her healing for more "utility".

>>181432071
I agree, but if it helps, every 5 levels on a hero gets you 500 gold. So get all your free to play ones to 5 and it'll help. Even better if you get a stimpack out of a chest, then slam as many to five as you can quickly.
>>
>>181432071
This is not true at all objectively.
>>181432419
You are aware that this game isn't top-down and is isometric right?
>>
>>181432534
The skill should go where I aim, and you should aim for center of mass.

Not to mention you have to click where you want to walk, rather than using WASD.
>>
>>181432534
Not either of them, but aiming at people's feet isn't intuitive at all. Even less if they're a flying unit and you have to aim at the ground below them.
Also this game's hero grind is way worse than other games' if you ignore the quests and level fives. It'd be unexcusable if the 20-hero thing didn't make it way easier.
>>
>>181432738
You get heroes from loot boxes, you don't buy them for gold unless you have a fair chunk of them already.
>>
>>181432738
>if you ignore the quests and level fives.
Why are you ignoring quests and level fives? That cuts down on hero grind by like 90%

been playing for a month and I've got 60k gold. Which is after buying about six of the admittedly less costly heroes.
>>
>>181432808
>You get heroes from loot boxes
You'd need tens of thousands of lootboxes.

What's the best way to level heroes? Is it just grinding QM? Or is vs AI better? If AI, does AI difficulty matter? Do you try to stall out games to make them last longer or try to stomp them as quick as possible to get through more?
>>
>>181433601
QM gives like quadruple experience because it's based on match length and such and AI games are -50% exp off the top AND like 11 minute games or less.
>>
>>181433601
QM. It also gives way more gold.
Try to create a party with randoms (spam general chat) for more exp.
>>
>>181433669
It's based on experience gained by the team during the match, not the length.
>>
>>181433887
So basically match length considering XP is based on minions and buildings killed you fucking contrarian piece of shit.
>>
>>181433601
Team league qued as 5 gives the most XP per game, if you can set that up

For a 5 stack? Like a minute or two. Only two stacks have a long ass que time since they don't allow 2-1-2, 5s and especially 3s are quite fast

I started with 2.0 for OW and just reached level 400 yesterday

I'd been getting really annoyed with Overwatch anyway, I've been playing it since it came out but all the stupid bullshit in it finally just got on my nerves too much. An FPS game shouldn't have wallhacks on a cooldown or a 19m stun that's an instakill (granted they nerfed that but holy fuck took them literally a year+). Characters shouldn't be able to do 60% of your health flailing their mouse in your general direction.

Somehow the cc in hots while a lot more commonplace is less annoying than getting flashbang + fan'd by a McCree who does nothing but sit around a corner waiting for someone to walk by.

At this point I only really play Overwatch with a friend and they've been getting sick of it too so we just play the dumb custom game where everyone has double health and 3 second cooldowns

It's never fun to die instantly without counter. At least HotS gives you enough information so you don't instantly die without you severely fucking up and just not observing your surroundings.

Goliath is decent, but should've had more different voicelines. Like seriously, Blizzard was too cheap to pay gook bitch to say some fan-favorite stuff like "Goliath Online?"
Grave keeper looks kind of cool to me, especially the Frozen tint. My only problem are the little triangles at the base of the hood, are those supposed to be eyes? Because I'm pretty sure the Grave Keeper's are higher up.
Krakenov looks cool from what I've seen, my only issue is that it looks like his arm is multiple cephalopods instead of one, which is weird.

>>181437129
he's a high skill cap hero, shitters can do well with him, but if he's in the hands of a person that knows what he's doing, you can't ever kill him and he's gonna be a constant annoyance chipping away and going for easy low health kills all the time
>>
>>181436541
>>181436140
desu its not hard when the game has given me a constant stimpack since then and I just play in a 5 group spamming quick match, it gives like 300k-400k xp every game and the game just threw new characters at me for leveling from with boxes (I think I opened like, around another 20 from boxes so I feel I got pretty lucky)

I dunno why they still aren't doing the mega bundles cause I definitely wouldn't have bothered playing without it

>>181436096
Yeah, I feel like since Overwatch has such short death timers they feel like they can have stuff that'll just randomly kill you sometimes. It happens less often in competitive but competitive Overwatch is kinda boring cause everyone's mostly shackled to playing between either a dive comp or dance around a chokepoint with Reinhardts shield.
