Defend this.

Why is Chromie so bad? I always laugh my ass off when they shoot the dragon cumshot and it misses by a mile. Flamestrike is better and I actually know where that's going.

Carson Gonzalez
stop playing Chromie user
Sebastian Clark
Smaller radius, shorter range and less damage
Logan Morgan
THE BEETLEKING IS BACK BITCHES! I love it.
Ian Nguyen
Also, Globe's radius doesn't show up until it's already traveling through the air. By the time they see it it's usually too late unless they can blink.

How is Gazlowe after his rework?
Judging by the fact that nobody ever talks about him, I assume he's still "LOL THIS SHITTER ON MY TEAM JUST PICKED GAZLOWE TIME TO THROW GG CANT CARRY THIS FAGGOT"
Mason Davis

He's really good, fucking turrets are op as fuck.

I'd say the skills are comparable, however chromie can Q spam at range, while azmo needs to get close to E
almost as if azmodan is a Specialist
Jayden Ortiz
Beeeeeetles!
Liam Ramirez
> I'd say the skills are comparable, however chromie can Q spam at range, while azmo needs to get close to E
for follow up damage I mean
Ayden Green
>I'd say they're about the same I'd say you're stupid.
Jose Campbell
>I'd say they're about the same, Dragon's Breath can be increased though
Are you joking? Globe is nearly twice the radius.
Azmodan simply does Chromie's job better than she does and has nearly 3x the health to help him do it better. Chromie has better zone control, but that is not worth a 4000 health difference.
Isaac Perry

Dragon's breath isn't even close to globes radius even with the upgrade it's not even as big as flamestrike
Thomas Hall
He better have that accent or he's going to be trash.
Benjamin Morales
Let's be honest, they're not going to give him the super over the top caricature voice.
I will be pissed if they just make him another fucking Orc though. Keep the Japanese accent though, make him sound like Hanzo from Overwatch.
Angel Brown

Lincoln Rivera
How do I play Abathur?
Grayson Richardson
So, what character should you never pick on what map?
Charles Wood
That's a very broad question.
Jayden Richardson
Lay a mine in the enemy base and burrow straight to the core. They'll never see it coming.
Lincoln Wright
>How do I play Abathur?
Don't.
Nathaniel Stewart
Butcher on any of them.
Jayden Diaz
Never pick Chromie on battlefield even if they buff her, her PvE damage is too low
Nicholas Murphy
I like this "Abathur is worthless" meme. Where did it begin?
Grayson Gray
Is Chromies hourglass going to be a mount?
Lincoln Sanders
From the terrible Abathur players that eclipse the actual good ones
Grayson Scott
True.
Probably fair, though I do love hurling breaths at the immortal and the people "defending" it when there is a stand off.
Andrew Lee
Wasn't that the cancerous faggot from the last thread? "Yelatsogood"?
Asher Johnson
He probably meant that if you need to ask a question how to play him, you shouldn't play him in the first place.
Tyler Gray
arthas burst is crazy
Christian Nelson
I bought the pig for Chromie.
And though that would be cool, having her hearth be the hourglass and her mount would probably confuse people.
Jackson Fisher
I like the billy for her, I want the hellbilly for her fel queen skin though
Juan Foster
Is it true that Chromie dies if greymane jumps at her?
Brody Robinson
This Abathur above all other heroes
Eli Russell
Welcoem to HotS, where you either burst like a fucking mad man or you're trash.
They fucked up this game a long ass time ago. It started with Thrall and KT, and just got worse.
Logan Phillips
How is everyone building Arthas now? His damage is pretty good, but I still melt in team fights Still not sure if he can solo tank
Jordan Morris
Tassadar is oddly satisfying though boring to play.
Try him out.
Chen is also fun and cute if you are a furfag.
Justin Roberts
that's him, and he's asking people about the previous thread
Ryder Butler
Any infos on what you get Hellbilly for?
Jack Reed
I'm guessing it will be released at the start of the new season that is also roughly their year anniversary so maybe a new billy every year
John Gonzalez
Why are heroes so fucking expensive in this game?
Nolan Robinson
>Wonder Billie: Rewarded for making a real-money purchase in the Tech Alpha and Closed Beta
>Billie the Kid: Rewarded for making a real-money purchase after launch
I'm guessing Hell Bille will be for a real-money purchase during Season One
Luke Wright
>tfw everyone wants you to play Arthas but you like Anubarak more
Jonathan Phillips
i dont even want to know how ridiculous this hero were before the nerfs
John Thompson
Hellbilly will probably just be a shop buy bonus again like the other 2 billies
Hunter Diaz
Not a furfag but I'll look into Chen and Tassadar. Thanks!
Li Li is super cute though
Eli Harris
>tracer I feel sorry for the red team Chromie.
Nathan Rogers
Gold is fairly plentiful, but as it comes from quests, you have to play every day. It is part of a strategy to keep people playing.
Gavin Williams
should feel sorry for their whole team since he got a spoonfeed tracer match
Landon White
I feel sorry for that fucking comp.
Dominic Johnson
>ETC can be interrupted during power slide There's so fucking many instant teleports in the game, you'd think they'd at least let the slow dashes be unstoppable
Jackson Thompson
Valla can be interrupted on her vault too, Kerrigan on her leap
Nathan Lewis

Luis Price
How to fix Chromie: >Base increase to W Radius >Q does 50% damage to creeps, minions, monsters, still passes through them like Thrall's W >At LEAST 50% more health
Adam Gutierrez
Shes fine as is.
Jace Rogers
because Blizzard practically throws gold at everyone
Ryder Hall
Chromie feels really shitty and awkward on maps like Blackheart's Bay and Battlefield of Eternity where you actually have to kill creeps.
Elijah Richardson
Her q doing like 50% of it's damage to minions to passes through would make her so much better
Thomas Evans
I dont feel like this got aknowledged enough. buff nerub plx
Jonathan Parker
He got reworked along with Arthas.
Jason Lopez
I know, I've been playing him like all day. He's so inferior to arthas its not funny. Still alot better than before tho imo
Anthony Nguyen
>Activision blizzard so terrified of losing players, they shut down any and all videos of DoTA2's free mod of HotS Fucking pathetic
Justin Nelson
Anub looks like a better mage killer with all his resistances though.
Jack Young
Chromie does absurd damage from the longest ranges in the game.
She doesn't need to be able to kill creeps more than she already can with her huge aoe nuke that hits the whole wave
Join the legions of warriors who are considered useless because of no wave clear
Ian Butler
I didn't look into this at all, but come on. Dota 2 looks like shit, I wouldnt play that shit for free even if it emulated hots.
Benjamin Bell
Arthas can literally become immun to magic at 20. Cant keep up as Anub :(
Ayden Morgan
>huge aoe AoE is tiny untalented Not to mention a 14 sec cooldown which is huge.
>Join the legions of warriors who are considered useless because of no wave clear She's a fucking assassin mage you mong.
Dominic James
Whether it looks like shit or not has 0 bearing on Acti-blizz acting like giga-tyrannical lawyers, trying to stomp out any and all forms of their game
Then again, they DID shut down a 100% free, self coded vanilla server that racked up 150k unique players, so maybe they think if they brutally eliminate all GOOD competition, the disheartened players will go back to the BAD source?
Caleb Cooper
Its crazy, them protecting the shit they created.
Jace Gomez
>She's a fucking assassin mage you mong.
And that means she needs waveclear?
She's designed around poor waveclear and good hero killing. She's basically supposed to be their second attempt at Ming after they fucked that up.
Evan Baker
>She's a fucking assassin mage you mong she's chromie you cookie cutter shitter.
Jaxson Lewis
This is every company in the world, go make a Lion king musical without Disneys consent.
Asher Miller
Best example to use because they at one point sued the people who made Kimba the lion And lost the case
Thomas Ross
Azmo has longer range, also it's a small radius even if you take the upgrade plus it's a 14 second CD (unless you take loop then it gets a 25% damage reduction) that if you are using on creeps you are going to miss out on a ton of your damage
Chromie definitely needs help, and her horrible waveclear is one thing that really holds her back.
Tyler Taylor
Wasn't that Japanese or something? China can bootleg whatever they want, but you'll never see an american company get away with it. DotA is american.
Jackson Stewart
"protection" infers to what? pretty sure, so long as no money is being exchanged, favors used, or the like, its fair game
on top of that, if blizzard has the right to shut down a mod of HoTS, which is free, then Valve/Riot should shut down HoN/Smite/HotS for stealing their entire IP
Jose Rogers
Dota was on warcraft 3 long before any of those.
Isaac Davis
Protection from someone else using their shit they created over thousands of others and big money to develop for free. If you cant understand the sentiment you never created anything of the slightes value or are a pinky maggot slut desu.
Also - Valve shutting down the source they stole their own game from? lel
Christian Anderson
>having chromie on your team in hl means you are fighting a 4v5 all the time great game
Caleb Kelly
>cursed hollow >Pick chromie >blast them away
Jaxon Lee
In fact, Blizzards EULA says anything even made with their programs are their property.
Sebastian Perez
It's actually more of a preventive measure. If they allow things like that to slide then in future court cases people can say that they haven't protected their IPs in the past.
