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.

Picking Abathur when you're coordinating with your team or are in a competitive environment is fine in my book and you can do as you want

but people who pick Abathur in solo qm need to be gassed

Bronzie OP confirmed

>tfw silenced shitters will be banned from HL soon

I can't help but feel I am running out of novelty. I keep wanting more characters, but the only ones I like are warriors.

>the same people who get muted are Rank 20+

Why can't you faggots button up for once and stop stirring up problems that you are just going to blog about?

KINKY BEETLE THE BEST

carried me to rank 20

I just wanted that Elemental Wolf mount.

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

being upset she cant rape illidan for another 10000 years

tfw no qt night elf gf to rape me for 10000 years

;_;

I need to do the win 3 games daily.
Who should I pick?

glorious abathur

I can't take this forced 50 anymore.

sorry goy, everyone needs to have a turn at winning

>asking the containment board for /v/ to not be a pack of degenerates

You have more? Latex/similar is muh fetish.

Zoink

Abathur the bestestest hero

I have 28 gold, what hero should I buy?

Is it even possible to have a gold amount that ends in anything other than 0?

get 1972 more gold and get valla

Holy fuck, even if you don't top kills or damage, chen is fun as fuck to bully people
Now I see the light of the panda lover

Probably not unless there is some weird combination of stimpacks and whatnot.

Yeah, yeah, 28k. And I have Valla. I have all the cheap ones. Gimme a 10k one.

Kael since he always in meta.

Get lunara

stimpaks can give you 5 gold, but it's either 5 or 0

I am so bad at her. I did snag her impulsively. I just got her autumn skin.

I probably should own Kael by now, but he's banned every game, so.

If you already have lunara try Xul, he is really good

I'll snag up Xul. I am tired of only having Zagara when it comes to reliable specialists.

the best choice

I'll be honest, I own a lot of heroes. I guess I should've posted this first.

But yeah, I'm getting Xul probably.

New engine when?

Would you follow Uther to the Light?

bets

It's coming with the same patch as Superman

Well met!

YOUR SOUL SHALL BE MINE!

I greet you

Sorry, already sold it elsewhere

That's disappointing.

>no tyrande
HOL UP

SO U SAYIN WE WUZ IMMORTUL AND SHIET

>when some fuckboy with a stock skin takes your main

>and plays it better than you do

>implying there's anything wrong with stock skins except arthas who has the non-piece of shit version available
lol

memed the fuck out of that punk

chinese player detected
I'll only concede that KT's base skin is ok only because the steampunk skin is the worst one in the game

is this game dead? haven't played in a few months now and everything seems quiet

>only because the steampunk skin is the worst one in the game
I love that skin

Show talent builds.

The goatee ruins it for me

The only reason I went the laser talent at 20 was because they were pushing our core after we wiped getting theirs to 2%, gravity bomb was on CD, and I thought it was the only way I'd get value on 20 talents that second

>Lv.16 Xul taking Harvest Vitality
>Arthas taking thr Frostmourne quest talent
>All against fucking Illidan
I'll never get over just how braindead people are.

Space goat qt when?

We need one desperately

that's not Tyrant Velhari

Yrel could be a nice support and testicles-tender.

Q: Confuse: For 2 seconds, when a Target Hero's abilities are used, they target randomly.
W: Flash Heal: Heal target Ally for 700
E: Suck Cocks
R1: Take it up the ass

idc who we just need a fem draenei I don't know any named female draenei though

>space goat
>doesn't have goat eyes
Shit race.

...

Yrel doesn't really do anything except show up randomly in HFC and get yelled at by Archimonde.
Tyrant Velhari is a boss with a real skill set that would be pretty fun to play translated into HotS. Plus she's red and evil, and therefore intrinsically hotter

what about goat master velen?

he's (probably) not a girl

just as long as we get a cute fem draenei i don't care who, could be a brightwing type character even

Valla?

Where the fuck is Superman?

I dunno, maybe this guy can tell?

quality post

So, whats gonna be the order on next heroes? Most people say Gul'dan->Samuro->Auriel->Varian

But Browder confirmed they gonna make a show at gamescom which is in august. We're gonna have two more heroes after Medivh when that hits, so if thats gonna be Guldan and Brademastuh, then would gamescom hype be a support and classic warrior?

>Picking Take It Up The Ass
>ever
Lmao confirmed bronze
Horse Cock is the far superior heroic.

Maybe it will be Gul'dan and Maiev to promote legion.

Gul'dan would make sense right now especially with the movie still in theatres. He's also related to Legion, a classic warlock and an Orc. Releasing him after Medivh would be a good idea.
Samuro could work as a hero inbetween big announcements.
Varian and Auriel as a big reveal would be decent.
Varian is famous and a classic WoW warrior.
Auriel would also generate hype due to being the first angel after Tyrael and a Diablo support.

I guess they'd be decent. Varian could pull some new mechanics like taunt and whatever else WoW warriors do.

What does "take it up the ass" do? Is it like a Stitches Gorge but for allies?

Wow warriors charge, so it would probably just be a better butcher engage.

Not really.
You select an enemy hero and Yrel starts taking it from behind from the .
Both are immobilized and channel a spell.
Your team can kill the enemy hero but if he manages to finish then Yrel explodes healing all enemies around her.

>leveling character to 5 in training mode
>tab in to see if we won yet
>nope
>but see raynor bullying muh jaina
>have to step in and start reking that beginner bot
do not bully jaina EVER

>new engine for a 3rd rate ftp game
never because that's not how software development works. they are riding this shit forever.

looking at the timing there could just be one after medivh if they do a release the week of/after gamescom. it's not that much of a stretch.

the hype there should be a lot more than 2 diablo characters. probably a map and an overwatch or warcraft character too at least. there's whatever has become of arena lurking too.

They definitely will release a WoW character in august since legion comes out that month. So maybe a diablo character in july then back to wow for august, then maybe overwatch in sept.

I wonder if they'll add single player adventures into HotS like in Hearthstond.

What is your diagnosis?

I dont think that there will be any single-player content
Maybe something like PVE raids instead?

You're not a cute animu girl I wager.

Sorta what I meant.
Raids where the team doesn't fight other players but has to clear out a dungeon, fight mini-bosses, kill a big boss and get sweet loot at the end.

I'd say Gul'dan for july, with Medivh they'd be the movie promotion, as always a month too late.
Then for august Auriel, because long time since a support came out, Varian early september for legion (also late).
October is a filler month, so Samuro.
New maps and arena and next Overwatch heroes will be held for Blizzcon. There's a word that next one from OW will be Zarya, so expect her to come out November/December.

Soo, the only fun part of WoW, without dealing with WoW? Sign me for it!

Is it acceptable to leave if your team feeds 15 kills in under 10 minutes?

(had a master nova who had 7 of the deaths)

How much money did you spend on the game /hotsg/ ?
How many games have you played ?

0$ / 1500 here

$15/1000

game does really need 5-10 minute minigames to just practice a character quickly. just not enough stressful combat experience in a lot of games.

generally not. it's multi dimensional, not team deathmatch. the other team could still be bad at finishing games and if they haven't taken a lot of buildings following the kills they really aren't accomplishing anything at all.

Nothing but I might buy the direwolf mount so Thrall can ride on a proper animal.

33,7€ / over 2000

They could base those raids on the Nexus or on Blizzard universe encounters.
For example one raid could be about stealing Blakcheart's booty from him. So the team fights their way through his ship, beats different pirate themed bosses and faces off against Blackheart at the end.
Or something classic like Tristram Cathedral where you clear floors and descend deeper. Maybe six floors with Butcher on the second, Leoric on the third and Diablo on the sixth one in hell.

Don't know if PvE raids would be popular though and it might be bad for the game since it split away part of the playerbase which could be playing PvP instead.

I hear Nova got nerfed hard some time ago, what's she like now? Taking a look at her talents it seems as if she's lost some of her burst damage. I don't recall exactly what, it's been a long time for me.

She got reworked into uselessness, then for three patches in a row got only buffs till the state nshe's now at. She still can stomp noobs, but can't 100-0 anyone like she used to. But instead got some utility (a little). Don't know what's the go-to build now, don't play her much. But I personally go everything for W and follow through.

What's she like in Platnium sort of rank, then? That's what I'm about at (rarely master) I'm guessing by looking at the talents and what you're saying she's more of a scout and support with W rather than trying to solo people?

If you go W-build (like Hotslogs suggests people over plat do) I'd call her playstyle a cross between Tyrande and ranged Sonya. You "hunter's mark" a target for team to kill with your W, then follow through (heh) with sustained dmg at safe range, throwing snipes and decoys between attacks for extra dmg.
She can still burst people with that too, just not so crazily like she used to.

Sounds neat. Similar to old Nova but more team-based it seems. Which is fine I suppose. Again I haven't played her with all these changes. Oh and is Gazlowe still shit?

$4.79/1019

I really wanted Archangel Diablo.
