I worry that Kel'Thuzad is going to have only one build. Q build feels just flat inferior to the combo burst build.

Glacial Spike honestly seems just way too good not to take, and if you're taking Glacial Spike, you may as well just take talents that synergize with it better like Shadow Fissure and Hungering Cold. At the end the only Q-related talents you'll have will be the shade at 20 and the level 1 Q talent, which you may just replace with Barbed Chains.

No doubt he'd have more talent diversity if Glacial Spike were in his base kit, but that probably would have been too strong.

>>187566431
There's a few "im learning or bad" builds and a few "im a mlg pro at the game and life" builds, and quite a few situational talents in the midst

So what's the best talent build for combo cucking?

>Play melee

>Do so
>Die
>"wtf why die"
>Hit frontline instead
>"wtf why attack tank"
No winning.

>>187566673
As far as numbers go I think the correct build is:
>1 - Barbed Chains
>4 - Whatever
>7 -Glacial Spike
>10 - Shadow Fissure
>13 - Whatever
>16 - Hungering Cold
>20 - The Damned Return

At level 20 I managed to get 8,316 damage off the full combo with EVERYTHING landing, plus two auto attacks (which you will probably want to weave in for those Hungering Cold procs).

The combo is: Damned Return > Spike > E spike > W near spike > E enemy > R > Q

You can also E the enemy before using the spike, which is more reliable and probably what you should be doing instead, but it lowers your effective range.

>>187567956
Why did you die?

>>187568960
When you move a character far enough into the backline so they're in melee range they tend to be farther from their team and closer to the enemy team making it much easier for the enemy team to kill them and much harder to their team to peel and heal the character. By doing this my character's health went from a full bar to an empty one due to the attacks of the enemy player, causing it to die.

get garrosh now or wait KT ?

>>187570385
If you buy Garrosh you'll get him in your next legendary drop.

I just lost a match against 3 tanks.
I should uninstall now before it gets worse

>>187574290
>Losing to an team with 3 mages and no support
Some people should just be ashamed of their actions

Now we hhave KT, who is next?

Firebat?
Mengsk?
Talandar? (Honestly instead of the real fenix they will get him).

>>187568470

>16 - Hungering Cold

Seems like
Power of Icecrown is the best, particularly if you take Chains of Ice at 13.

I think the rez at 4 is probably the best, unless you're against shields maybe. Spell Vamp is super good, and you don't have to rez, unlike diablo. It's basically a level 20 talent except it requires 10 orbs and its at 4 instead.

The reset for R also seems absurd at 20. Just toss it on tanks, zero risk.

>>187574646
now we ask for deathwing obv but firebat would be good too and mephisto

>>187574551
>he didn't even lose against 4 supports yet

>>187574646

>>187575771
What rank are you?
I'm diamond currently, working to master, but I can agree that even watching pros play is fucking horrifying. The stupid plays they do, sometiems the fucking builds they do, just why on all levels.
>>187575828
>he just climbed to gold
>he just entered the worst ELO/MMR/RANKING that exist in any moba or rankign game
Buddy you are about to commit suicide, gold is the actual worst. Gold is above average normally so everyone thinks they are the best player which leads them to stupid strategies that are all in or some kind of other mega carry they think they can do which causes more losses than wins.

Gold is the worst rank, have fun in hell.

>>187575828
don't give up anon.
the prereq for diamond seems to be actually using abilities on cooldown, and even then they sometimes forget to use ults.
it's depressing. it's not that noticable in quick match, but in HL or TL true diamonds just get massacred.
I'm so glad they're changing the ranking so you can now go into 1k master.

>>187575989
I'm GM top 10 every season.
Honestly, most pro play is super solid. I don't watch NA, though. I know everyone, they're all mid tier GM.
EU is well done. KR/C aren't bad. I notice most things people call mistakes are really just alternates that people are forced into as a gamble, and when it works out no one says anything.

>>187574290
The fact that a /hotsg/ user did this makes it all the sweeter.

>>win the fuck out of lane, win all of early game
How did point-securing and lategame work out? I'm wondering because you conveniently leave that out of your little blog

>>187578448
We never lost a single zerg rush, in fact only once did we get slightly fucked over which was them reaching 20% on a zerg.
I ended again with most xp by twice the amount and second highest dmg despite all of those fuck being in a 4v4 lane which should have been easily dmg farmable. Also was died for least deaths at 3 while the others had 7 or more.

This is at gold 1 mind you, elo decayed from diamond, so people are complete dog shit but still this is just depressing. Not only do people think rexxar is bad at literally one of his best maps, they also don't know how to make basic plays and not over extend.

Is Tracer viable at the pro level?

I wreck shit in quickmatch and normally get MVP (at least half the time).

>>187578764
Tracer has been picked a few times at HGC so yes 100% viable.

>>187567956
dont listen to your retard team
you should only focus backline if you've got 1-2 buddies diving alongside you

or if you're tracer/genji and you're invincible because the enemy team has no cc

>>187574728
hungering cold deals the bonus damage from every tick of decay
you can do half an assassin's hp with just WQ and nothing else

icecrown is the participation trophy for shitters who cant hit their root

>>187575771
hello im gold 3 and i have a 30% winrate on alarak because i miss more telekinesises than i hit

>>187578764
I'm surprised Tracer hasn't gotten the QM treatment yet although it might be because she sucks without enablers against certain comps.

>>187578764
with the tassadar meme combo, sure
in general genji is more popular because he is stronger and fills the same "unkillable asshole murdering your backline and acting as a finisher when enemy runs from fights" role

>>187580014
>pick raynor
>tracer dies

>>187580014
It's because ranged AA is enough to fuck her up.
Ever played against Zul/Valla/Gmane/Luna/Raynor/Hamham without a support? Or against two of them? It's like playing Pyroblast Kael against Medivh/Varian/Genji/Tychus/Uther.

>>187578069
person you replied to. You probably made a shitton of mistakes, didn't secure kills, didn't peel, so on, so forth.
Can't say more without seeing the replay.
If you lose a game under diamond, 95%+ chance you fucked up somehow and lost it. In diamond people actually have half a clue, you can't guarantee a win every time just based on skill.

>>187580857
>didn't peel
It's not Rexxars job to peel, that's the tanks job.

>>187580789
>>187580691
Raynor has more range to zone tracer out

>>187581482
But Zuljin has more damage and attack speed to get rid of her faster

>>187581235
You are an off tank. You also have two bodies.

>>187581728
You're a busier, your job is to deal damage and stay in a lane as long as possible.

I just bought Murky and he alone makes QM fun again. I don't have to care for Nova or Valeera ganking me because it doesn't matter.

>>187582247
I liked pre-rework murky better, his new talents are fucked up in the shitty sense and pufferfish is basically useless now

>>187582426
I remember the period after the rework where Murky was considered busted, but I'm not sure why.

>>187582562

but the best Tank Misha is also controlled by you, and she rocks at peeling.

Blizzard really fucked up with Garrosh's representation in Heroes of the Storm. His abilities and role do not fit his character fantasy in any way. His kit should have been for another character.

Yes, he is fun to play. But he should have been a bruiser, like Artanis, but with burst and less focus on defense and with an ability to force 1v1.

He literally discusses functionality of each one. The stacking SP one is for sustain damage. Getting 13 + ticks of 200 additional damage is better than 5-30% on each spell stacking.

So you mean, if the entire enemy team is tanks, and they all stand in your AoE, you might get more dmg than the talent that lets you instagib even more of the roster with your big bone?

>>187601305
Even if you get half as many procs its still more damage

If you root, and hit one spell and auto attack, its more damage.

Even fully stacked, at 30% bonus damage, hungering cold out damages it in every conceivable circumstance.

He's a good team killer and is easy to play.

He's good on every map and most comps, though bad against multiple ranged assassins.

>>187604087
Then why did you lose?

Damn Garrosh is more fun than I expected. Especially the Q+E combo in early game just really effective when it comes to getting kills and feeling devilish, but I often time lose matches and teamfights in the lategame. He doesn't dish out, he doesn't really tank. He just slows and throws, great in early game and it's really fun to throw champs around that think it's a great idea to attack head-on with my base in my back, but kinda frustrating in late game. Either way, he's a lot of fun, I love it when I can position champs into towers and forts and now I don't have to wait until I'm level 10 with Muradin or Stitches.

You'd be the worst player on the team if you had two more deaths. As it is, you're just slightly above the feeding Leo and the retarded falstad.

Even PTR feels alive. HotS might overtake Overwatch on PC, honestly.

>>187606183
Yeah, I noticed I just chimp out on my keyboard, hitting skills at random, you always hit something. But the damage just isn't there and he has suprisingly low health, that doesn't really get redeemed by his passive as most damage is dished out by abilities anyway. Maybe I'll need to experiment around more with builds, I always went for the circle strike R, because I tend to miss taunts or use them to an unsatisfying effect, guess I gotta learn to use that right.

>>187606150
Nah man, this queue feels fast as fuck compared to pre 2.0. Only thing I noticed is that, if I join a quickmatch immediately after I just finished one, mine or the enemies team might have the same one or two players that did the same.

i wonder if im the most toxic guy in hots. wish i could stream, it'd be my gimmick.

i play since kaelthas release and have

1 permabanned acc for "racism" before blizz made silence system
when they made silence system i was silenced all the time.
when silenced players got banned from ranked i would play for max 1 week before getting silenced again
majority of my losses are me simply intentionally throwing the game as soon as someone pisses me off
i rlly have no nerve for ppls bullshit in the game
i have 10+ silenced smurf accs
my main acc is silenced for 1 yr 6 months
right now i finished lvling my new smurf acc yesterday & didnt get silenced yet, but int. threw 4 placements so now im playing with plat faggots.
i think i int threw at least 1k ranked games over my time in hots

this dumb system + my attitude r the only things that prevented me from climbing out of diamond over the years.

even tho i was less skilled my peak was definitely during preseason when i was silenced but could play ranked

Alarak is a lot of fun.

Artanis is probably still the best toe to toe bruiser in the game.

Tychus is a really niche pick but still real fun.

anyone else think they kinda fucked Garrosh up?

He's a really strong combo-tank but why the fuck did they make him a combo hero?

He should have been based on Warrior skills, like Varian, but had more aggressive ones and been less of a combo hero and more of a bruiser.

>>187618082
Cleave does NOT work with Spectral Leech.

>>187617701
You lost 100 damage pn Q and got a smaller AA cleave at 105 damage. It's virtually the same in lane, worse against mega waves, better in objectives like Infernal or GoT and better in teamfights. You always have Royal Focus and Kneel if you really need that Q waveclear.

>>187619019

Really he should've just been a multiclass in all but name character, let him spec to either be tanky and disruptive like he is now or also be a solid duelist/assassin.

>>187620169
Your confusing game design with general adjectives m8.

Varian is aggresive because everything about him gets up in your face but that doesn't mean his skills are actually that aggressive.

Charge is a gap closer, his Q is a generic shockwave, parry is a block skill and taunt is a peel skill as much as it is to secure skills.

When I say aggressive skills I mean shit like execute, cleave, recklessness.

The only aggro, smack you in the face skill he has is bloodthirst, the rest is CC.

This is all I want, just take some of the really shit-tier talents nobody uses and swap in some that give him some kind of damage boosts, make bloodthirst do multiplied damage to enemies under X% health or something fun.

Yeah that would be cool.

They've kind of attempted that at the moment but it doesn't work out at all.

You can use the armour boost to get the max damage out of body check, a bit like hearthstone, but the max damage you get is like 430 at level 16, when Garrosh is nearly dead. It's hardly impressive.

Consider only playing ranked during times of high population so you aren't matched with people distant from your rank.

Which is funny because League ranked is best on low population hours because its only autists who are playing.

>>187626570
great, then just play more

Is Valeera perhaps the most versatile assassin?
I can count on one hand how many times I've lost with her.

>>187626839
Yes, she is very good in QM

>>187625537
Artanis is much more mobile, more tanky, has sick displacement and outplay potential, way more dmg, snowballs harder, and a huge AOE 4sec blind that cucks AA carries like no other.

The only thing Leoric has going for him is entomb at quite low CD, that ult if well timed it's free kills. That and less ress time, but you shouldn't even die if you're not a shitter.

>>187626839
The only thing Valeera lacks more than versatility is actual damage.

>>187626839
>valeera
>versatile
u wot

>>187626930
your post wasn't necessary, i know full well about artanis and leoric
i also know that, if you go back, you can see anon claiming that artanis is the best ``toe to toe bruiser``, which is simply incorrect. i don't see a single instance in which artanis can go toe to toe with leoric and lose, barring leoric missing his W.
i also think leoric is a better hero than artanis, but that is beside the point.

Q would be a channeled cone ability like Tychus and causes a stun if a target is hit for ~4 seconds of the 6 second channel time. Damage would be low, would have a talent to increase basic attacks against stunned/rooted targets and probably some quest to increase the freeze spray duration and a talent quest to become unstoppable while channeling Q.

kind of a zoning warrior who doesn't have any instant stuns aside from the R banish.

I rekt a QM Tracer with Raynor today, felt good. Especially since we had a Valla feed tracer 4 kills before level 4 and then disconnect, meaning bot Valla.

I already made it into GM in preseason and season 1, who cares about the game anymore.

>>187629608
