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.

>Previous Thread:

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

Who cares she isn't even waifu worthy

Man, ranked is such a pain. If only I didn't get fucked by a barrage of retards during the placements.

Hopefully they put her in before the game dies

Mage Falstadt more OP than Kaelthas

why do people get silenced?

In the trash where she belongs.

>tfw the odds are in your opponent's favor
>tfw it's a 13 minute game
>tfw you rek them and see their best player loses almost 200 mmr

feels good

>their best player
>a lv4 gaz on cursed damn hollow
you know that you only lose (or gain) that much mmr when you are doing the very first HL games, don't you?
That's why it can happen to have some unranked guy to be in charge of bans (and why the whole matchmaker sucks big time, specially now that all those "AI only" guys jumped on the HL to grab the damn mounts)

>Gaz lvl 4
Is this even legal?

btw, their pick was awful

NEVER EVER

that has to be some QM
gaz was probably teamed up with someone else in his team

Soon our ranked will be free from this plague

I love Jaina

>enemy has 3 heroes with stuns/blinding
>retard on my team last picks artanis
wow thx 4 the throw, can't wait for blizz to implement reports for drafting throws.

>Giving up at draft
You sound like a faggot

If you pick regen master and do the quest + tenderizer at lvl 7 you can solo almost any squishies with no mobility skills

the match is 70% decided on draft, stupid phoneposter

And? Are you gonna afk once the match starts? No, thats bullshit. It's entirely possible to win against counters. I'd rather actually play the game instead of getting pissy and quitting just because I'm at a disadvantage.

Did I say I abandoned the game? I played and tried my hardest which we almost won, but it didn't help that every time our arthanis dashed in anub and xul roasted him in 2 seconds, and that lost us many battles.

>It's entirely possible to win against counters
Doesn't change the fact htat most of the time you won't, as the odds are stacked against you.

what an awful mindset
you can win with the shittiest comp if you outsmart your opponent

is this game dead? for real my queq for QMeme are 260+ and when i get in game i play with random people from new players to 3kmmr
is there no one online any more

Yeah, tracer killed a lot of the game, but then overwatch release finished it off.

>you can win with the shittiest comp if your opponent is retarded
What an amazing insight.

tracer is fair tho, stop wanting to sololane as a squishy mage

how do we fix kerrigan?

Not that guy, but while I agree Tracer isn't OP anymore, she's a pain in the ass to fight against. Not fun at all.

I just downloaded this game because it's free. What's the most OP heroes of the current free rotation?

Tracer is not overpowered, but she is complete cancer. As in, the game is worse than before because of her existence. I think we all can agree on that.

>stop trying to solo lane as any specialist that isn't Zagara

but she's cute

why was haunted mines removed?

yeah pretty much i just stopped playing qm and the game mostly because of her she really ruined the game

>spend 3 months getting gud at positioning
>Tracer can just pole vault into your team, drop a cheeky bomb/melee and 360 out of there unpunished

I kinda WANT this game to die now.

I love when "out of position" around tracer is behind your frontline under your towers

>oh fuck, I'm in the middle of my lane with no enemy creeps around and at full HP, I'm gonna die before reaching my fountain because Tracer has set her sights on me

FUN
INTERACTIVE
TEAM BASED GAMEPLAY!

im rank 7 after placement matches right now im in a game with ranks 1to3 and i was baning with top mmr this matchmaking and ranking is shit as fuck

grats bronzie

>letting a thread 404 before bump limit

t-thanks overwatch for cucking this game out of players

I don't get the appeal, HotS has the superior waifus with actual stories.

hots playerbase was a good chunk blizz fanboys who just play whatever, and overwatch is the new hotness for those

I'd like to play morales but spics...

having different building hp on each map would be confusing to new players. walking through doors was also a difficult mechanic to balance.

the appeal is the control of simply targeting some other faggot on the other team every time with no dependence on anyone else being competent in any way.

she's the worst to actually play in the game so it's no loss

only a bronze scrub will type this

i like how blizzard shit on they own game kek
and now another fail with the 20 % rotten tomato warcraft movie hope at least they can break even from the fanboys who will pay money to watch it

Well, /hotsg/?

Moon all the way, KT is a cuck. Speaking of tyrande, how would a fight between her and li-ming look???

You know what he's asking for, boys. Someone post it.

Moon all the way, obviously.

my first game did I do good? ;)

>a lv4
now you realise that this is in fact qm since HL requires hero level 5

remove her from the game and add a new hero - kilrogg

...

>kerrigan is good in infernal shrines
how to spot a bronzie 101

Anyone watching the gook games?
Last game was p good tbqh

I want to mount Lunara

>(you)

baited for this exact response

>(you)

i want to sit behind falstad and grind against him

It's possible but the thing is is that literally every game can be won with smart drafting

So it's not so much that the game is unwinnable it's that the guy blew a chance to grab a better hero and make the match a million times easier

I was stuck in bronze for a while, until I went on a big winstreak that was pretty much completley centered around smart drafting. Comp is a HUGE part of HoTS.

OW's release has been tough on HoTS

>lose game because of a retard
>call him out as the core explodes
>he whispers back and blocks
>see him on the enemy team next game and crush him

june 2 can't come soon enough, my plan of not playing for a week worked, now i'm kinda pumped to do some power leveling with my favorite heroes and get others to 10.

I don't understand why hots didn't fuck dota and lol to death.

It's got better graphics, varied maps with unique mechanics and creeps, beautiful waifus/husbandos.

Is it because it's "simplier" so you don't feel gosu for getting that last hit/managing your inventory/buying items? Or because carrying is way more difficult and you can only win if your team truly cooperates?

I hope you B stepped

>that hero pool
I hope you quarantine yourself to QM dude

I mean i think convincing a bunch of LoL and DotA diehards to jump ship from a game they've invested $300+ and 1000 hours into isn't going to happen overnight.

I think the one thing those games have that HoTS doesn't have are better opprotunities for 1v1 dueling, and personal currency so you can get personally fed.

Yeah i only do qm, i did duo HL with a pal like 4 months ago, double tank, i'm sitting on r2 ever since.

I think the alpha state they put the game on in "release" hurted them alot, lots of negativity around that time. Also no real reward to rub yourself, as any accomplishment is oriented to be done as a team rather than alone, you can't really say "i singlehandedly won this". I don't think even launch li-ming was able to carry a fucking game senpai

How do I play ETC?
it seems like after the chromie patch he's out shined by other warriors

stun squishies

>1000 games as Sonya
>still feeds like a bronze shitter

HOW

sonya's hard to paly :(

What's the best hero to stomp plebs with

what? sonya is literally the easiest hero to get good at

Easy: LiMing. Throw damage at them from behind your team and watch the snowball roll. Problem: If your team can't do anything then you'll spend the game running away.

Hard: Kael. He's a more extreme LiMing. You have to know what fights you can win and skills take slightly more thought. He can't get out of a bad situation as easy, but he can delete almost anyone.

If you have a friend to play with: Diablo. You can grab and bump and be a huge asshole to deal with while your friend kills who ever you grabbed and trapped. Great combo options with Apoc. His downside is that as a solo tank he can get focused down sort of easily.

ok thx man

Reminder that next hero after Medivh is Gul'dan.
He's gonna gimmick around sacrificing his own health to deal more damage, then stealing health from others.
Still don't know if he's an assassin or a specialist.

>Ultimate 1: Power Overwhelming: Gain +30% speed and +300% basic attack damage for X seconds. Die afterwards.

draenei hero when??????

>Wake up
>Old thread died
>this one is also dying

Is there a reason to wake up anymore?

Guldan Akbar!

senjinn here

you people still aren't playing this shitty game, are you? come get wrekt by me in overwatch

webm related - it's you and your team

what type of toilet paper does tyrande use /hotsg/?

you would know about crashing into things, wouldn't you

post more dick pics already

>implying she doesn't wash her pooper in the moonwell

YOUR SOUL SHALL BE MINE!

>you are not prepared
what did he mean by this???

>implying she doesn't make malf lick her clean

>Malf
>not Shandris
You think she didn't poo once in 10.000 years?

Good point user.

Agreed.
We can't have Gul'dan without some Draenei. I mean whom is he going to sacrifice?

desu they should redo one of kerri's heroics to be xel-naga form TBQH
