Why does this game run like poop
I have a GTX 980 and even put my graphics below what it recommends for each option and it still lags a lot
Is it cpu heavy or something?

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

>tfw getting 13/13 H instead of playing this shit game

turn off reverb in audio.

do you build him as tank or bruiser?

you gotta be shitting me
it's may 2016

I was in a casual shitter guild and got 13/13M like 6 months ago

I only came back like 3 months ago and didn't raid for most of that

thanks my dude, helped a lot

Who is this? I want to marry him.

CHROMIE

IS GOOD

AT SEX

Any tips on the Artanis bruiser build? I used for a couple games and thought it was kinda fun.

It's a lockstep game. The shortcomings of the network model of the game restricts the client from having a constant 60 frames to each player. It's definitely not your setup.

google 'heroes of the storm lockstep' for more details.

>not "KINKY"

I'LL CONSUME THE LIVING AND THE DEAD

How it is possible that people on rank 12 (out of 50) play so horrible and dont know even the basics of the game?

>loading into qm as azmodan
>enemy has no healer
I see blizzard still gives no shits about qm

I actually think it would be incredibly effective to premade as a no healer poke comp in qm. Probably would get about a 90% win rate

This thread is undead.

I'm rank 1 and have games where I play like shit. Wish I could tell you why, but I'm honestly not sure. It just happens from time to time I guess.

If you queue as a 5-stack, the matchmaking ignores every support/warrior/aba rule and just looks for a different 4-5 people team.

But I guess you could 3-stack as all pokers, odds are high than you'll end up without support and so will enemy team.

Is this fel goat thing going to be retroactive?

what video game company do you know of that would do that?

you're mom company

how does hero gold pricing work? like lili is at 2k while artanis is at 10k. Is there a chance that lili's price will go up?

So I have to have a minimum of 7 heroes on free and another 7 to have purchased in order to HL?

all at level 5*

If so, that's fucking awful. I don't want to spend $20+ in order to compete in an f2p game.

I think you need to own and reach lev 5 on all the 14 heroes, then you can also use the free ones but that's a plus

also dont go into hl if you are still learning or you are gonna make people mad at you

stop whining, once you reach the level 40 you have enough ingame cash to buy many of the heroes in the meta

also almost all the 2k ones are breddy gud, get them

All from QM? Level 40? eugh..

The first part is true about ignoring the team set up.

I was with two russian cyka duos, me only support, a retarded stitches, and a Li-Ming who admitted she has no idea how to play

vs.

Two frontline, two support, one mage dream team on infernal shrine. Fucking kill me.

>tracer asks if my tass knows how to shield
>doing more siege and player dmg than her as tass
>shields are for me
>"How did I get higher damage than you, Tracer?"
>YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY SUPPORT YOU'RE TERRIBLE
>lol
>you were ignored

Well okay

tracer should be in the thick of things more often, and shields are 50% larger on other players

you're fucking shit

except she was 20k below me

also, your meaningless poke damage accomplishes nearly nothing. trying to compare tracer's wave clear (which is non-existent) to tassadar's (one of the best in the game) is ridiculous

i have a feeling you're below rank 20, am i correct?

so, are you stupid enough to believe your psionic storm is what is going to secure kills? or your auto attack?

>the average Tassadar player

she was probably 20k below you because you were shielding yourself while she managed what little amount of poke she could do before having to leave and hearth out to heal

Maybe next year.

You're shaming Tassadar players everywhere. Just stop.

I was piggybacking an illidan who was very strong in managing his evasion so I ended up tanking tower shots for him to flip back. I didn't realize there was so much shield ptsd in hots gen.

>play like a shitter
>get treated like a shitter
I see nothing wrong here tbqh

Your soul shall be mine!

I greet you

Is that a real poster? That looks like shit

Gul'dan looks pretty shit on all the promotional material. He was pretty good in the movie though and essentially made every scene he was in awesome.

I feel weird when I look at lunara ._.

Cute and fun!

...

How DEEP will the discounts on this bundle be?

I wonder how many Gul'dan players will end up blowing themselves up when he's released.

>about to kill Gul'dan
>we're gonna be rich!
>get oneshotted by Siphon Soul
thanks Blizzard

C R I N G E AND NOT CANON

>team fight
>we're low on health but so are they
>friendly Gul'dan drop his Infernal on us
>half our team explodes because of the AoE
>shit but at least Gul'dan should be capable of nuking the wounded enemies
>Gul'dan proceeds to use drain his own HP to empower his spells
>kills himself in the process
Well played.

>mfw one of his heroics kills him and replaces him with lord jaraxxus

t. Arthcuck

>Implying Jaraxxus isn't zergling tier by comparison

CUTE AND CANON!

she's icy and bitchy in hots too senpai, also fuck arthas

It's an Hearthstone meme you dip

How would a fight between li-chink and slutande look?

I don't play it.

Kael stop being such a hothead.

It would be extremely painful.

*deep fart sound*
Oh yeah user take it all to your lungs

what are they fighting for???

For you.

who's that semen druid in the pic?

Quick question:

Is the gold you get from the Team League rewards separate from the main one? Because I'm already rank 1 on normal league, I didn't pay attention to the TL rewards; I just saw there is a ton of gold to get, and now I may rush though it with random teams. Rank 10 should be easy.

gold prices only decrease
new heroes cost 15k on release and drop to 10k after two weeks
other than that it's pretty arbitrary when and who drops in price but it's always in the order 10k - 7k - 4k -2k

What am I missing that people unironically ban Kael'thas over Li-Ming? Kael has no mobility, he's so fucking easy to punish and a lot of damage is in his auto attack talent from my experience
Li-Ming is long range cancer WITH mobility and a long ass piercing 40% slow with a 0 second cooldown

Didn't Jaina and Johanna drop from 10 to 4k without ever being 7k.

impactful.

You get the rewards once for your highest ranks. You don't get double.

1HL + 1Tl gets you the same as 1HL + 10TL

also nazeebo did drop to 4k from 10k

is that malfurion or illidan?

The prince and has been leader of the Kirin Tor, Kael Thas, is really handsome.

Illidan

Wait, so it isn't double? If I'm rank 1HL there is no point in doing TL?

Just checked it out, is bullshit. I remembered wrong.

You DO get double rewards. Quote on us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/20111014/ranked-play-revamp-5-6-2016
>You can earn double rewards for participating in both, so be sure to grab a few friends and form a team this coming season!

malfurion

>get a decent comp through first 4 picks
>tell last pick we need him to fill warrior
>instalocks zag
>want to kill myself before the match starts
>win anyway

what

illidan

malfurion

Illidan

Nice! Time to get ALL the golds

malfurion

illidan

if you were on the dev team, how would you improve jaina to make her good like the pure and perfect waifu she is???

Wow, I opened Overwatch and hots threads at the same time, returned after 30 minutes and... this place had 9 new posts, OW had 450.

double the range of Blizzard and the damage of Frostbolt and CoC

what about survival?

give her a talent that increases her movement speed by 10% for every enemy she has slowed
