>fucking newfags don't remember that based Samuro took down a whole island using only 5 explosive barrels and a pig

Samuro is love Samuro is life

Johanna best tank

if they add a mantid i hope its that 1 who says "my blade never misses its mark" he has a pretty cool voice

also everyone please report Monzaemon on EU if u ever come across him, he pisses me off. he gives a bad name to all Prince Kael'thas Sunstriders out there. he was playing on the enemy team and spammed B (b stepped) when they killed someone early game. i consider b stepping to be as humiliating as spitting in someone's face irl. well, later on in the game i killed the shit out of him as dehaka. so my point is, dont b step if you arent going to win, otherwise you are a subhuman fag that needs to be sent to the concentration camp ASAP!

Made sure to blame Sonya/Li Li before they rolled core and point out I was carrying them

I havent played this game in a while

Is Kharazim still good with a damage build or only as a support

The satisfaction of playing Li-Ming comes from knowing the dipshit who just ran into your W is probably losing his shit.

he never was good at it and never will be, unless his damage trait is reworked
>his only sustain is his W
>he gets bullied out of lane by literally anyone
>teamfight phase
>his E is countered by blinds, stuns, knockbacks, and literally just walking away
>even with the speed boost he still loses more than half the possible attacks if the target is standing still
>his Q damage talent is too slow and you can't activate your E during the animation
>enemies stand still while you're doing it, attack you, then start moving away when you press E
>you just did less than half of what any other assassin would do, just to add some shitty and movement speed boost to your team
no thanks

May blahdu seeka vengeance!
I am 'ero an' obey!
WAZAAABBIIII!

I think I've experienced this a couple times when playing Chen. It might have something to do with meleeing and mercs. You can try looking at opponent vision just to be sure it's actually revealing you and not just a visual thing. That Li Ming finding you is pretty telling, but it's always possible that it was just a lucky guess.

i've had the red eye pop up in game, it's not just in the replay, i thought it was BW but then i noticed she is on bottom lane

>be chromie
>enemy team has abathur and muradin
>our fucking mentally retarded last pick gets us brightwing

>our jaina ilterally had 20k hero damage in a 20 minute game
>"bg chromie sucks"
wew

I know it's ingame, as I said I've experienced the same thing. I just meant filtering for opponent vision on the replay to make sure it was actually revealing you. It's entirely possible (but unlikely), that it's just a visual bug.

mentally retarded = u for picking chromie, not last pickbw

I want to wave force my bone spear inside her until I release my critical mass.
If you know what I mean

>the collar is off in the right picture

GoT fans BTFO

Any player that says "I can't X" in hero select is fucking garbage. 9/10 games I just mute everyone because my blood pressure can't handle the snarky fucking prepubescent bantz from these cunts.

Genuine question:

Why when I start climbing ranks do I immediately start tanking them? I get to 18 then literally just lose until I get back to 22-24. It's basically straight wins then straight losses.

People with shit talent picks if they don't pick shit heroes in the first place (oh they got tracer and/or illidan? ima pick li ming or chromie tehehe). People who just focus Johanna or chase people into forts. People who run about doing camps all game and solo play.

It seems stupid that there would be forced 50 in ranked games but it's like night & day

What's the ideal Malf builds? I want to get gud at a support other than Uther.

how do i look up the game? because that faggot had tranquility and i dont even understand how his healing could be that little

honestly I haven't really been struggling with the forced 50 as much lately

Are you just spamming too many games? Like I need to make myself take breaks all the time, once I start to play too many games in a row I start playing like shit and losing.

I mean like you definitely can't win them all, but also it is very much possible to get a string of really good games and go 9-1

All builds depend on map, your team comp, and the enemy team comp.

I've been living innawoods since beginning of January and am now back with access to Veeky Forums/internet. What have I missed with Heroes of the Storm patches and any dank maymays come out?

You missed a lot of heroes.
Also new shit will happen to ranked games.
Illidan is no longer trash.
Sylvanas has a new heroic now.
There a cute gone hero now who's actually a dragon.
Literal LEGEND Medivh next month.
Still no Superman.
Arthas is great again.
Battle of great asses between Li Ming and Tyrande.
Finally the next heroes are quite possibly Gul'dan, Samuro, Auriel and Varian.

Did your team happen to be 4 squishies running around dying everywhere solo?

Play until you lose your first game and then stop playing, repeat next day

Thanks for heads up.

I see that the artist who can't draw eyes and female faces is still doing art for the game.

>tfw rank 3
>want rank 1 before season 1
>only play a couple games a day at best
>every win is +100 points
>every loss is -100 points
>no protection against disconnects or afkers
Always fun to lose a days worth of progress because some people have shit internet or queue and afk. Not to mention the trolls picking shit heroes on purpose or bad talents

Uh oh

That Rehgar though

That's what blizzard wanted him to be.

If you take the basic attack heals as sonya, in what situation would you ever use whirlwind?

Just for the 10% movement speed if you are not in auto attack range and your spear is on cd?

>Tfw still seeing KDA when glancing at charts instead of the KAD shit

isn't it worth using when you're going to hit multiple heroes with it?

Waveclear
non-boss mercenary camps

>that artanis
oh my GOD

Isn't aa+w faster in all cases, and it you can generate rage while doing it?
Maybe if you absolutely must heal. The dps is like less than a third of aa+w, and again you don't generate rage from it. The trade off of healing slightly more doesn't seem to make up for the extreme loss of dps and rage deficit.

day 47
my teammates still haven't said a word
i'm starting to question my sanity and wondering if I chose Versus AI
nope, it's just QM

Solo camps hurt.

>we play MOBAs to talk about things
>hey gazlowe fine day isn't it
>yes sir it is indeed
>let us lane together and show these ruffians a thing or two
>hm, we seem to be taking a beating

that's why you're a 50% winrate shitter

I communicate exclusively via pings.

Can the Nexus even handle the full evil of Gul'dan?

can anyone?

Man, I can't wait for the next WoW x-pac. Right guys?

>2016
>playing WoW

>inb4 you play Gul'dan as an Abathur-like hero that does all of his fighting through Archimonde but can buff his allies

Why does prescience just choose not to work 90% of the time?

I feel like I'm dooming myself by picking it

I think it doesn't work if you're cc'd, which is bonkers

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

Maybe next year.

>at enemy core
>it's down to 10%
>Gul'dan can finish it off
>turns around and runs away giggling like a little girl looking for some artefact of ancient evil to make him even more powerful
>dies to a boss
>enemy destroys our core
Thanks Gul'dan

They'd need to figure out what abilities to give her since her WC3 kit is basically current Zeratul.

Any Warcraft lore people around here?
I was wondering, has there ever been an evil druid in warcraft lore?

I know there's been evil shamans like Ner'zhul, warlocks like Gul'dan or paladins like Renault Mograine. But has there ever been an actual evil druid?

The Druids of the Fang in Wailing caverns were made insane by Naralex's nightmare.
The Druids of the Flame are druids that, for the most part, got fed up with the Cenarion druids for their inaction and joined Ragnaros' campaign to burn Hyjal. Most of them are probably in it to get revenge against the Cenarion circle and became insane afterwards through corruption of the Old Gods or the fact that they seem to be setting themselves on fire.

yes, a set of clans

I felt like I earned Master until I saw how retarded people are here. Is there even really a difference in MMR when it comes to assassin mains?

faldran was poisoning the emerald dream because his son decided he was going to sacrifice his own lie to contain the qiraji and he blamed furion for some reason then he became a fire druid.

marl wormthorn

Do you guys take Bestial Wrath or Unleash the Boars on Rexxar if you're the only tank?

What if you aren't?

Being Diamond league by hotslogs statistics is good, right?

...

i just installed the game, i'd like to play tassadar, diablo and kharazim, how shit are them?

Tassadar is great but not really a healer, because he's classified as support, the enemy team will have a real healer while your team doesn't.

Diablo is ok as well but at high level play he's barely used.

Khara is pretty great.

You know you gain more healing from ww than a normal AA right?

so how should i build tass?

Panada plz eat frog

Under 1000 games.
Do you even play?

>play Chromie in QM
>do the most heroic damage and get the most kills, my team loses
>or
>do the least heroic damage and get the least kills, my team wins
like what the hell am I doing wrong?

that would be "balanced" to useless levels of damage anyway and she'd be even more boring because then there would be no chance of ever focusing to start your trait without the other team being extremely stupid. not everyone needs stupid levels of area burst. play kael or jaina or even whip lunara if you want to ruin bunched idiots with no finesse because that won't work on her. she basically a trait dependent specialist and that's fine.

transcendence is the only way usually but he's still good for rundowns without iron fists. he's probably going to be reworked soon. not quite a 1 build wonder but he's close.

team dies in 2.7 seconds
morales heals someone tanking minions and towers

shield and shift build with force wall

so no archon, ok, i guess it is shit

KINKY...

...

works fine. don't get cc'd or burst. not even common sense to expect immortality from a level 13 talent.

you can use archon if you want, but some people just prefer force wall like i do

>ping danger and retreat on top lane after the mid enemies are clearly going there
