Heroes of the Storm - /hotsg/

>tfw don't play this game enough to justify buying skins

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>no facial animation
>lacking full themed ability package
>uses default voice

:-(

Can we agree that after Gul'dan we will be getting another Overwatch hero?

Typical QM. Nothing of surprise here.

Picture not related, right?

It's obviously going to be Reinhardt or some other tank.

it'll be Mannoroth

I think it's supports we're sort of lacking right now, though.

I will ask again because I got ignored

Any tips for playing as Jo?

we need another female dragon healer

anyone has some bot that they can share? i need anti-afk in training mode or quick match / vs ai, just run into towers and die when respawn. so bored of playing but need to lvl heroes to 5 on my smurf

>use D to negate crowd control
>hold either W or R to interrupt Mosh Pit, Li-Li jugs, etc
>ideally E on steroids, like Raynor W, or Valla Searing Attacks
>Q and body block to keep a guy close enough for your team to kill

'Dunno, you'll have to probably be a bit more specific. She's tanky as hell, which leaves you plenty of room to experiment and learn.

>use D to immune ETC power slide, follow up with W to nullify Mosh Pit

Could probably think of more stuff if given some examples. Brain still on low power.

>hots
>hacks/cheats

pls too soon

how is it cheating if i literally need something that will make my hero suicide after respawn without me having to alt tab to the game

Seconded.

Thanks, most important thing at the beginning is probably best talents for, lets say an average 2 assassins 1 spec 1 healer 1 tank, I've also heard that she excels in both diablo maps

Blizz used to ban people for using UI mods even if it just changed how the replays look

>9 supports
>1 from diablo and 2 from SC

Where is my Auriel or my female protoss healer???

>mfw finding out that Anub'arak shits all over Chromie
Time to play tank until the Chromie meme passes

>only one Diablo support

Looks like we'll be getting that angel soon.

>only two Pandaren

Suffering.
He honestly does well against a lot of Heroes, especially late game.

>pick him into Li-Ming
>collect free points

How do I climb out of silver?

Xul and Zagara.

Solo? Impossible. Because in your rank theres an equal amount of shitters and people who know what they are doing, meaning its a grind that leads no where.

t. gold solo player who realized there is no way out.

Heh, greetings.

Replay, please.

I'd love to see one of these Plat/Diamond players trapped in Silver/Gold.

Sauce plz

you know who those 2 characters are user

get to work

how buy skin with gold????

They already fucked themselves over making the base/master skins better than the $7.49 and $9.99 skins, friend. Doubt we'll be getting those any other way for a while.

As much as I'd like to see some sort of Hexteach crafting system.

>try to get friends interested
>they can't afford Hero
>can't gift it to them and they don't want to shell out

:-( Wish there was at least a way to gift.

Click buy on skin?????

Well, now I found it and it's terrible. ~__~

I think they'll add it one day, every hero has even a line for when you gift him to someone.
Gazlowe is the best as usual:
>hey, it's not my money anyway

oh hey pahael has a new search interface
neat

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

>Master skins
>Good
?
Most of them are just adding spikes and/or plates. What the fuck? And for 10k g? Lamo what a waste.

>tfw you got bonus personal adjustment points right into grandmaster

feels good to have your greatness recognized

Eh, to each their own. I've had my eye on Xul's since his release, but I don't feel confidant enough to wear it.

Not terribly familiar with her; what might her kit be? I thought Zeratul ended up taking hers.

Congratulations, friend.

Solo queue, by chance?

Yeah solo queue.

GM is just grinding games, you just keep playing. GM is more of a joke than non-GM ranks.

ETC's master skin is the best skin in the game. Prove me wrong.
Tip: you literally can't

Nice, dude. Always a little discouraging only ever bumping into duo-queues.

Oh, really? Perhaps I'll need to queue again in a bit. Sort of lost interest after securing Diamond on smurfs.

>still haven't finished placements on main for some reason

The blue and gold colouring of Zerg hunter Zeratul is the best.

Samus medic exists, and I'm considering Chen's master skin, since I have gold and no interesting hero to buy

>hotdogs says I'm a whole rank under what I am in-game for HL
nice system lol

Basic Zerg Hunter is the best. But I like that all his color varations are basically all 3 options of "cloak warrior" from LoTV campaign. Base is regular Dark Templar, second is Taldarim Blood Hunter and third is Khalai Avenger.

>Diamond is meant to be top 18%

Eh, not sure what I was expecting, honestly. Probably something a little more like League, though.

What a vague post.

>Diamond is meant to be top 18%

sauce? that's a lot of percent

Never mind, turns out I was thinking of Star Craft 2 distributions from a while ago.

'Dunno, just sort of thought there would be a little more exclusivity to League.

You can buy a blizzcashTM code and give it to them but I assume you meant with gold. Which ya it sucks I agree.

Nah, I'd just like to be able to purchase a Hero, skin or mount in-game for $ and then have it sent to somebody I know, having them log on to receive a gift notification, or something like that.

As said here there do seem to be be unused sound files suggesting it's something they'll do in the future, though.

>or maybe they just recorded all those extra lines in case, and never end up using them ;-;

My friend bought a gift code and gave it to me as a present. You could do that.

sucks, but there's no gifting feature in HotS yet

and this shit's been asked since tech alpha, so i doubt we'll ever actually see it

isn't zarya literally confirmed for being worked on?

zarya is a disgusting lesbian lgbt piece of biological trash. i used to like blizzard because they are like the only game company that doesnt have lgbttrash characters in their games (dragon age, mass effect, witcher, elder scrols ALL THIS HAS GAYS and other creature)

oh how i was psised then i saw how tracer looks like.. and then zarya, loool................ times change

and during blizzcon 14 they confirmed that there is some homo in overwatch
i wonder who
soldier x reaper ? junkrat? lucio?

How do you buy a gift code? The only thing I've seen is like those packs you buy in a store or something, or like a promo code that comes with another game like the jaina code from overwatch.

I think Zarya would be fine if she just had like blonde hair, the pink hair ruins her.

So, an even more butch Johanna.

Basically what happens after a threesome of Brightwing, Johanna and Sonya.

>particle cannon

Okay, this is sort of neat.

>weapon charge

Eh?

>grenade-mode primary weapon

Eh, this is something.

>Ultimate is literally Grav-O bomb
>Tassadar shield

The passively-regenerating shields she has seem to be the only other thing she has going for her.

Uh, dunno. I recently purchased this, though, and haven't used four of the Hero codes.

>cdkeys.com/pc/games/heroes-of-the-storm-starter-pack-pc-mac-cd-key

Pretty sure websites sell individual Hero/mount/skin codes as well.

I'M HERE TO FEED!

>implying the last hero won't be alexandros mograine the creator of the ashbringer
fags

why is he so adorable?

So is their only 2 characters left and that's it?
I would imagine they would milk this thing for as long as possible

No, there are more heroes coming up.

Kind of looks like his face is melting desu

You have to be 18 to post on this pho enthusiast board young man.

What should my damage look like at the end of a match as Anub'arak? I feel like I'm not contributing as much as I should be.

Also any general Anub tips are welcome.

step 1. heroesfire.com/hots/talent-calculator/anubarak#kFH- ALWAYS this, except lvl 20 talent situational, leech on 20 VERY GOOD for long poke fights

step 2. never use E to start team fights, unless u have some good advantage

step 3. after my reply, dont listen to any of the subhuman faggots from /hotsg/, they are literally no better than reddit in giving shit advices

if u dont believe, go watch stalk EU grandmaster on twitch

>always take dampen magic
>never regen master
bait/10

>never use E to start teamfights
>takes Epicenter
>not taking BFB

You generally shouldn't use E to start teamfights.

>hello I am in the middle of your team and as you can see I just used my only escape ability, please focus me down instantly

>not taking aoe everything build on kinkbug
fucking scrubs

I think is stating that Epicenter is only good for initiating fights but says you don't use burrow to initiate. Therefore making that talent pretty pointless.

>not going maximum beetles
>FREE beetles
>FREE healing
Uh.....hotstards?!

I get epicenter fairly often and I don't use it to initiate. Just because you dont rush in like crazy burrowing into 5 people doesnt mean you dont get it off on 2-3 mid-fight.

>can't give beetles their own little shields anymore
why live bros?

I was thinking more like an ugly sonya

Uh... if you hit 4+ with epicenter Burrow is back off cooldown, so why wouldn't you? If shit gets intense you can just burrow right back out.

If you hit everyone-1 or everyone you get a free one. Anything less is silly! Great talent we have here.

Someone gets it. Sick of people arguing in vacuums.

>b-b-but if you do x y z and then suck my dick it's a great talent!

>all these conflicting talent choices

can't say who's right or wrong so i just wont listen to anyone here

>not figuring it yourself
Talents are among the easiest fucking thing in multiplayer video games.
Tip: Not every talent is auto-pick every game. Use your brain a little.

wow dude kerrigan is shit

okay nerd

wow dude kerrigan is so much fun

li chink... nygrande.... butts...
