/hotsg/ - Heroes of the Storm General

>just walk away from her
bronzies play quickmatch you clueless fuck. there's not a lot of dealing with her in uncoordinated teams of garbage tier shit.

I'm not talking about grubby, I'm talking about people like Cris, Arthelon, Dunktrain, Bakery, and Snitch. People that are on the top pro teams of each region. I forget which ones exactly said she was broken, but I specifically remember that NONE of them said people were overreacting to her and that she was perfectly balanced.

fel queen Chromie a cute! A CUTE!

The people that played Chromie and Medivh said they seem to be fine.
Also Blizz told them they're done with hyper-mobile heroes for a while.

All chromie skins are super cute, she is the cutest gnome and cutest goblin

The only thing that seems OP in their kits is Medivhs shield.

>not goblin witch lady skin
>not the adorable roar

Shit taste tbqh famalam.

>Esports
Kill yourself.

>watch it
>game gets paused for no reason
>one shitty music loops for 30minutes
nah

how do i get top dmg with jaina?

You aren't suppose to get top damage as Jaina because she has really long CDs on her basic abilities and she can't harass like other assassins. She is all about waiting until she can burst someone down.

So just watched all the videos and what not and what the fuck was Blizzard thinking with Medivh. He sounds broken as fuck.

I agree. Buying the Rita Repulsa skin.

He does no damage just run down his team

But he can throw the Q every 2 seconds if you hit it

JUST IGNORE HIM

Did the hotdogs guy just pull the plug since the changes made his website irrelevant?

He's just Tassadar that can share his invuln, he's pure utility and zero damage.

They're both broken as fuck, but as usual no one will acknowledge it until they're out.

The changes haven't even happened yet. They go in the game on june 14th.

He's going to be completely useless in solo queues.
Team ranked? He's going to be scary.

Anyone know if Arthas' model will be part of his rework?

>Turn on HotS esports
>Girl casting
>Turn off HotS esports

Her laugh is cute and she acts smug.
7/10 waifu
4/10 casting

gillyweed? The way she talks always makes me think she doesnt know shit, its all the ahh', umm's and shit. I mean she must know her shit to be casting the game but thats the impression I always get from her.

She's grown on me/10.

>The way she talks always makes me think she doesnt know shit

She doesn't. She got where she is now through connections and being the only female caster with a following.

for a moment there I thought here thumb was her mouth and it was a really bad face

Where the FUCK is Superman????

Did someone save that post that had listed a bunch of heroes, and it announced the super tyrande skin? That seemed like a random skin to guess right.

I checked out the stream and she talked about how Zera was waiting for Muradin to stun Abathur that was sitting behind a wall. Funny to hear her co-caster instantly point out that he couldn't do that, then like a second later he goes for the save by saying he needs level 7 for it. Girls, not even once.

>currently rank 5
Try to go for 1 or just sit here?

how hot is she

>dunktrain
needs to kill himself

Do I want to read all that shit

In that picture gillyweed looks like that monster thing from the goonies, solidjake looks good though

Imagine actually wanting another Night Elf over Chromie.

>won 7 of my first 10 placement matches for HL
How'd I do senpai?

>wanting ugly midgets over amazon goddesses

>Not wanting a girl that can sit on your shoulder.
It's like you want to be alone.

>tfw i used to play with like 30+ /hotsg/ players
>over 50 friends in Bnet used to be connected at all times
>tfw it was so fun i could play for hours and hours
>tfw the player base has declined greatly, at least in the Veeky Forums channel
>tfw my will to play has gone to shit and haven't played since last week
god, what a feel filled night

>Team have vikings
>Lose

>That 100% empty seating area

What happened to this game?

>Get excited for Epic Mount for Preseason rewards
>Try to grind out 10 after neglecting HL for months
>Tank my rating playing HL on the Weekend

What was I thinking?

Pretty sure the matches were delayed FOR HOURS.

Everyone left.

jewzzard was way too slow with fixes and patches for the game and many people left

>love playing murky
>everyone thinks I'm a grade A memer if i play him
I just wanna have fun

how can li li even compete

hes not tier 1 but anyone who thinks he doesnt have a place on some maps is retarded

no Kilrogg

It's obscene how much better Chromie's model is then LiLi's.

A lot of the older models do still look good, but christ almighty do they need to redo Arthas, LiLi, Chen, and Tyrael.

I wanna marry Chromchroms.

He does healer damage, and not Kharazim or Tyrande healer damage.

The guy doesn't heal, do damage or tank. You're team is at a handicap numerically picking him, which will hopefully counterbalance him.

He could be ridiculously overpowered. But he may be someone we look back and go 'What were we worried about?'

I feel like Medivh should just focus on keeping someone alive and then dominate team fights after 10, mass polymorph is gonna be pure rape against some melee heavy comps.

Im not sure how you'd use chromie's second ult, the one that places the enemy back where it was when you cast it, I think that would be much better if you could activate it to displace someone instead of being timed.

>Im not sure how you'd use chromie's second ult, the one that places the enemy back where it was when you cast it, I think that would be much better if you could activate it to displace someone instead of being timed.

You could use it on dashing arthanis and diving illidanks I guess? Is not a very impressive skill so far.

So can Malf. just don't get hit. or kill the guy who spams attacks.
Cutest hero/waifu
I guess being able to slow enemies will be useful if you have team members who can capitalize on that shit.
But the same team members who can capitalize on it would also capitlize on on time loop.
I guess it just depends on if you want an AOE that can affect most of the enemies or a single target spell

>artanis solo tank is fine

I mean i won like 5 games with various artanis/dehaka/arthas/chen/sonya combos but sure whatever im sure all those QMs you play are perfectly valid evidence otherwise

>he still has to "climb a few ranks"
>talks down on his superiors

protip: artanis, sonya, etc. are bruisers

Jesus christ you're a faggot

Ok I'm sorry running 2 "bruisers" not 2 tanks, nerd

that's a vital difference unless you want to end up with muradin and chen

Listen i just figured when I said "running two tanks" it would just be implied that it would be like dehaka + artanis and not muradin + etc or whatever

I dont think the whole "bruiser" term is neccisary, and personaly i just find the term corny as fuck and dont like to use it

I am super hype to try HL again. I need to at least finish placements if I want even a chance to get the mount.

It is good incentive, but I am worried my wood league will be evident afterwards.

My QM MMR is like 2k. What rank does that usually translate into in HL? 30? 24?

>what does QM MMR translate into HL
it doesn't

Does anyone still play this game?

that's not true

most people have similar QM and HL mmr

Let me elaborate: right now, of all the people queueing in QM right now, probably like 90% of them are assassins or specialists, and probably like 30% of them are tracers. Trying to cram all those fucks in games with semi-balanced team comps is difficult enough, so blizz pretty much throws MMR out the window in QM and just tries to find games for those thousands of people who all want to play tracer RIGHT NOW. So it basically just turns QM into a giant MMR blender where everyone's MMR is mostly homogenized.

I guess depending on Chromie's burst and range Time loop purpose could be to time both your Q and W and decimate someone. and if the ult has a short CD just spam the shit outta it like Phoenix in the old days.

My question is, if I am such a shitter that I have 2k QM MMR, how bad a rank will I inevitably end up with in HL?

It is true that comps are bad, but my MMR is based on my skill level.

Probably like 15-25 ish

like 40?
Placements put me at rank 8 with like 2.8, rank 1 is about 2.9k

Well, I'd be fine with 20 because then I'd get the mount.

Hm. Well, I'll go try it.

remember when this was still i dream?
oh memories

Are HL queues always thirty years long?

They are usually fast but I will tell you to avoid hl during weekends.

Are the rank of people your getting put in with during your placement matches a good indicator of your final rank?
I have about 5 games left and him usually with people around ranks 10-12

>Are the rank of people your getting put in with during your placement matches a good indicator of your final rank?
Yes.

Cool, I think I've been doing alright, but was worried when I got my final rank my hopes and dreams would be crushed.

This game is dead right

First HL game to try to finish placements, our Diablo, immediately disconnected. We had no tank for the whole game.

The ritual is complete, welcome to hell.

when the fuck did they remove the send message option from the stats screen? I just lost a match thanks to 2 duoing fuccbois then absolutely BODIED them in my next match and I couldnt even talk shit
whats the point of even playing this shitty game if you cant tell people how trash they are after destroying them?

not really, there are plenty of rank 1s with mid 2000s
in fact I think I was 2.6 when I first hit rank 1

It never lived.

you need to be the one hitting the retarded warrior all game because getting a game without characters that have it easier is uncommon.

didn't see where they were improving stats or showing mmr.

heard a few people say the highest you can get right out of placements is 6. it makes you work for it, like the trivial rank fluctuations are supposed to keep you playing. obviously they just piss people off more than anything.

Biggest fucking let down, holy shit there is no evidence she even uses her dragon or can turn into one yet. She looks fuckng stupid being a gnome too, especially that sexualized alt. outfit. Fuck this release.

she flies in as a dragon during one of the wotlk dungeons

Chromie has some big hands. I wonder what's up with that?

Probably because it's a stylized art style, as in not 100% realistic with actual human proportions. Also She's a fantasy character who is a dragon to appears every now and then as a fantasy race known as a Gnome, a different species than humans, so even if it's being realistic with human proportions, there are still liberties that can be made because the fantasy creatures known as gnomes aren't human.

Stop complaining about a game that has elves, aliens, demons, and a chrono pilot, something that is inherently FANTASTIC in nature
