Find the ones you enjoy playing and buy those. Don't buy cheap heroes just to get into Hero League, it's not worth rushing into.

Problem solved. Be the bigger man, put the bitches in their kitchens.

First for best and most fun girl!

I hate you people.

Isn't the two heads giant broken? I never see a team with him losing.

You better reb up that anub'arak senpai, and enjoy every teamfight being a 3v5

i almost never see him win.
he has so many weaknesses.
Gall has really weak teamfight if they dont setup a perfectly aimed shadow volley.
if they ever get surrounded or engaged from multiple angles, its a disaster.
some heroes bully the hell out of them like Chen.
Cho contributes very little whatsoever.
allies usually end up dying more or playing worse merely by sharing a team with Chogall.

Had some tards in the game before that one

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

About 50% of the heroes have something to counter him/them

Well, maybe 50% is exaggerating, but he is weak to a lot of players, even monk

>not playing abathur and reporting everyone else for not being as cool as you

Not really, hes a lot like Sgt Hammer in that he needs a certain comp to work well and when he does work he kicks ass. That and theres plenty of heroes that wreck their shit, just gang up on them when theyre alone.

Almost at 7k and I want a fun warrior. Should I go for Chen, Diablo, or Stitches?

Diablo. He's stupid simple to play and master, and he's fun as hell.

Johanna or Sonya

as tracer I want to pick the reactive reload because I feel like it gives me the most damage but whenever I do the claw formation I have to put my hand in gives me serious cramps after a while.

Is there any hero that gives you physical pain? Constantly spamming spikes as abathur would do the same to me after a few games of playing him

>play assasain / supp / specialist missions
>Always, ALWAYS is a no-tank shitfest
I wish i could re-roll quests,i would rather play Leoric with all the high mobility heroes that punish you for being sluggish than a squish & burstfest.
On the topic, was nova changed last week or she was given away for free? i got nothing but novas on my team and the last one for some reason liked to Triple Tap abathur's clone

I have Sonya, and I tried Johanna when she was free last week, but she was so boring to me.

chen is great, have him level 12. just be prepared to hate yourself if you're against a stun heavy team

10

ded game

It won't be long until Blizzard pulls the plug on this game

XTH FOR KINKY

Tell us how to Noob'arak if you're so great. Isn't he low tier?

Chen is pretty cool.

I actually have 700+ games now, but can't be assed to take a new screenshot.

Famalam how can you get used to not mash your D now after that unnecesary change, for the life of me no matter how hard i try i just have to HITT DAT D errtime

he's KINKY(another user btw)
right now he either goes full dps or he spams scarabs, the latter beign the most used. hes great because can deal a lot of stuns but lacks survivability and/or a decent damage output.
I just LOVE chen, got 10 days ago when the armored skin was on sale and i fell in love with him pretty hard. really fun and requires skill to be used but damn, he is so stisfying to play.

Just gotta get used to it. I still accidentally cancel it early from time to time. IMO not being able to drink for less than 20 brew hurts more. Pretty stupid fucking change.

How the fuck did this guy play vikings so many times and not figure out how to split them? What sort of fresh new hell has quick match become? I'm gonna vomit BLOG POST RRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>2 stuns (4 is you take rewing)
>aoe damage.
>Web can made a team fight 5 vs 4 and cancel heroics.
>E is easy the best escape in the game.

How is Kinky bad?

I didn't say he was. I told you to tell us how to be good with him.

git gud

is that a male or female scarab? I need to know this.

Crypt Lord (Female)

>tfw you're too spooky for the enemy 5 man premade

Is clearly a loli.

>it's another "silenced player split pushes the whole game" episode
my favorite

I had a tracer doing that today
a fucking
TRACER
she couldn't even push decently
just sat in the lane all game, doing basically no exp, destroyed NO FUCKING TOWER and refused to join any teamfight or get the objective because "their team comp is betterr,, we must soakkk"

Tracer isn't that bad.

Only thing I'd change is either tone down her burst so you're not just racing to one-shot squishies or change Blink so that it has reduced range when you're slowed.

>They will never fix Arthas' model

I too look at reddit occasionally user.

jaina's boobs get bigger with her master skin

teehee

thing about splitting them up is other people still worry about splitsoaking. probably just said fuck it at some point.

diablo has the same problem. that sad, fat, middle aged, "I'm too old for this shit" look.

>Enemy team got 2 assassins.
>Your team got 2 specialists.
I know is Qmeme but why that happen a lot of times?

Y'all ready for Corki?

Yeah can't wait to play him again

God Tracer is such a bully. I think the only other assassin that gets on my nerves on a similar level is Lunara, because she shares some of her annoying qualities, but not to the same extent.

Personally, I think the biggest issue is just how loaded Recall is. It serves as one of her two escapes while also making her untargetable/invulnerable, and it removes any debuffs/dots on her, and it restores her health so she can keep trucking, AND it gives her two fucking Blink charges. I know it's a 20 second cd but that's still insane.

Honestly, I think they should remove the talent that gives her two bonus Blink charges, because that just feels overboard.

tbf she only restores her health if she picks the talent at 20

i like this

It's crazy how Leoric looks huge and imposing compared to fat cosplayer Arthas

anyone got fanart?

yee

...

What's up with Tyrael?

And most people do; it's her best option at 20, and it gives her some ridiculous staying power for an assassin.

He accidentally broke Morales' Tracer figure

...

what the fuck is up with those facial expressions?

Okay, lads: make your predictions for the rest of the year. I'm banking on Warcraft characters from June (the movie) till August (Legion). Four heroes will be revealed come Blizzcon and December will have a Diablo character to celebrate the franchise's 20th anniversary.

HOLY FUCK i hate tracer so much fucking bullshit mobility retard fucking fuck blink WOW AHAHAHAHAHA

How do we stop Reddit from influencing this game so much? Blizzard doesn't even look at their own official forums they just open up Reddit. This game is quickly going downhill because they are focusing way too much on the underage and liberal Reddit community. I hate to say it, but I may have to give up on this game if the only feedback or customers they care about are those who use Reddit.

proof?

wait uncle funcle, aren't some of those reddits?

>Checking a person's political ideology is a good way to measure how much they know about game design and balance
Sounds like some shit

source: not being a retard

>not a retard
>knows what happens on reddit

Friendly reminder that if it wasn't for Chen & Li Li, no one would be drunk as fuck having that fiesta.
Praise the Jug

...

...

not really proof m8

it's not really even reddit it's their shitty concept of marketing.
i don't know how many times i've seen someone link to some obscure website they saw fit to give an interview or to a single post note in some garbage thread somewhere like i'm supposed to be hanging on google search 24/7 for fucking game info for some shitty moba.

just put everything on your site or at least link to it. all the idiots will take it from there.

Liberals are literally destroying the game. They are the reason we have this entire Pixar movie shit called Overwatch instead of a gritty mature shooter that could have been. And now it's all seeping into HotS. Notice how the tone of all Blizzard games once darker and more serious is becoming more and more of a joke.

>LOL AZMODUNK SO FUNNY
>MURKY OMG HE HAS A DIAPER
>THAT TRACER TRAILER WAS SO GREAT

Just take a look at Uther and you can see the liberal influence. This is a man who was the first paladin, fought in a bloody war killing many Orcs and later was killed by Arthas. Now he just makes jokes and greets people as they enter the "Nexus".

Diablo the Lord of Terror is just an angry red guy now. I could go on for days. Liberals and Reddit are destroying this game and it needs to be stopped.

We can do the same thing that /tv/ and create some BIG cancerigenous meme, and spam it in Reddit, so nobody take them seriously again.
But i don't think we have the power to do that.

this post made me laugh so hard I hurt my back. Truly well memed my friend

...

i fell ya my famalam

Nah user, blizzard have been a meme since WOW.

>wanted a grim mature shooter
PFFT

alright lads, now that dancing is spammable, who has the best dance?
in b4 Dehaka

>Zagara in the video
DELET THIS!

...

WoW had elements of humor which was fine, but it has now become the main focus and the defining feature of all of their games. It really started with Cata and Uldum and then it just exploded with everything being about memes and jokes. This game is basically one big meme now thanks to liberals.

...

Well I didn't want this shit that looks like its straight up aimed at 5 year olds and Bernie Sanders supporters. Game plays like shit too because who the fuck cares about gameplay, just make it funny and attractive for underage liberals.

laffing

...

haven't played for a while how do you build greymane now after changes?
do you go full fursona or still cocktail?

Now THIS is a good meme. You put /pol/ to shame, my friend!

Why the fuck am I 2700 MMR?

I mean, MM is broken right now and u get ppl of all ranges and I play better than most players up to 3700 MMR. KDA, map timings, soak, etc. I used to be 3100 but fell down due to my 4 month silence (unable to communicate in draft properly now) and I actually throw a lot of games if people piss me off by playing like noobs. Actually just threw 2 games right now because of feeder Li-Ming.

seems like you think you know more than you actually do. hence why you are 2700.

modern big game design teams are cancer. no one has the power to say get this shit out of my game and everything goes on "consensus," meaning no one gives a damn so long as deadlines get met. throw in some douchebag gathering internet memes for achievements and you've got a depressing experience.

Fail to see how "diverse cast" = 'underage liberals' but like sure enjoy your grimdark grayfests.

Meanwhile games like Dark Souls that take themselves seriously and don't have the influence of liberals are breaking sales records. Enjoy your "diversity" and memes.

>weebshit
this is a whites only game, go to Dota 2's general if you want to talk about ethnic garbage

Alright who is drawing this? I need an artist source so I may enjoy their gallery

>sales records
>indicative of quality

Yep.
