That exists?
I need it.

You only had one job abathur, ONE JOB

Garrosh did nothing wrong by the way.
If you think otherwise you're a traitor and probably troll as well.
I can't wait until they add him into HotS so he can show Thrall who's the real Orc among them. I hope he'll be a powerful mellee warrior or maybe a specialist who brings down the True Horde© upon his enemies.

I would take Kilrogg instead, or the real WARCHIEF, TY

>tfw this meme tourney has more production value than the actual one
._.

everyone please add and report TheDragonnis#2427 every single day on EU. i just got a loss in my winstreak because of this retarded subhuman dogshit, right after a game of winning vs him.

reasons to get rid of him:

1. he has 800 games and tries to shotcal
2. his shotcalling is EXTREMELY BAD because
* he harasses teammates whenever he himself dies solo somewhere on the map
* he lacks knowledge of game mechanics
3. he said we need xp when we got on lvl 16 and our enemies on 17, nope u sdumb piece of shit, this was our time to fight and i was playing kaelthas
4. whenever we actually had to teamfight, he was doing pve somewhere on the map
5. died 3 times solo on bot lane early game
6. while 2 of our teammates were respawning, he went to take hard camp on bot lane as zagara. zeratul killed him, but i killed zera in return, that shouldnt have occured tho.
7. splits up when he tells team not to split up
8. uses devouring maw to escape getting ganked because the fucking watch tower is not enough to tell when enemies are coming top lane
9. some team fights doesnt even use devouring maw
10. when we had a chance to finish the game, when we killed 2 enemies, he just fucking died to falstads hammer and zeratul due to his inability to simply move away from enemy skillshots

also the kharazim who didnt land a single good palm helped quite a bit with our loss

i myself reported this piece of shit like 30 times already, actually took the time. now im gonna report him just as much using other reasons such as afk/non part.

>Also rip in piece leakbro.
what

calm down Kael

Apart form Gul'dan which other orcs would be nice to have in the game?
Off the top of my head I'd say:
Garrosh - Iconic and offers enough design possibilities thanks to WoW and Hearthstond
Ner'zhul - Could be an elemental shaman with some void stuff from WoD
Blackhand - big evil tanky Orc who's on fire
Grom - fast deadly Orc with demonic corruption
Kilrogg - kinda similar to Grom desu so I'm not sure yet what to do with him

Rend Blackhand on his dragon Gyth could be cool but I doubt we'll ever see him. There are also Kargath and Drek'thar but their niches are kinda taken already.

if they added Gul'dan, it'd be neat if he picked his trait at level 1 like Kharazim, except instead of supporting or DPS'ing better, he would act as a specialist while summoning a demon to be either a warrior (Mannoroth) or an assassin (Archimonde). D would switch between them and you would play the demon like a normal character while Gul'dan would have lots of long channeled team buffs and similar spells

>Kilrogg
>similar to Grom
blasphemy, Grom is a fucking pussy

>real WARCHIEF
Pretty sure we'll never see Orgrim.
Reddit made a thread about him. Blizzard will now know that there's a leaker. It's unlikely he will be posting anything now.

>tfw you are 3-4 levels ahead
>use immortal to push to core
>it dies pretty much without doing damage to core
>your team refuses to leave
>spend next 5 minutes fucking around near core but not actually damaging it
>just killing heroes and having ours die and come back
>only one level ahead by the time my team decides it's time to leave
Atleast we won but holy fuck people are so fucking clueless

>Reddit made a thread about him.
this is why we can't have nice things.

i already said in previous thread.
1. blackhand - warrior (tank) fire guy with iron horde tech maybe?
2. nerzhul - void mage.
3. garrosh - pure warrior (bruiser/tanky with dmg)
4. grom - melee ass with bloodlust, finishing blows
5. kilrogg - melee ass with ambush, vision and death mitigation
6. kargath - melee ass with focus on dmg intake, maybe give him an ability for a fake HP bar to fool his enemies or some shit, like he did in the arena in lords of war
7. teron gorefiend from wc2 - assassin/specialist/support

and here come the very unlikely ones, that i would put into hots cuz i like orcs the most and idc about other players, if i was blizzard
8. rend on gyth and his brother maim :D new micro hero
9. warlord zaela - spec with iron horde shit
10. nekros skullcrusher - spec with dragon shit
11. malkorok - true horde orcish law enforcement with grenades and shit
12. nazgrim - pure warrior v2

ur a retard, ur letting blizz's fans dictate u the fate of true orcs. if u dont go full headcanon mode then ur lost

You look bad, you should use the healing fountain
Thrall skin desu, and that's very sad (rip leakbro)
>Not including mary sue

Kilrogg is a true orc, Grom is a Warsong coward and probably half-draenei as well :-DDDD Legion and destruction not Iron Horde and conquest ok, praise Kil'jaeden

If you are rank 1 and you duo with rank 30s

>be tank

>no tank and support

love quick meme

just queue with a tank that has self-sustain famalam

No, that's why I'm requesting it

so arthas and KT both got cucked by a dragon right

>melee ass

I don't think he'd even work as a Thrall skin since he'd basically look like Thrall just bald. Also all those shaman abilties don't fit Orgrim at all.

Jaina doesn't fuck dragons...

So did Grom forgive Thrall for kinda killing his future alternate reality son?

no one knows. Everything that happens with Grom after the intro makes no fucking sense

>leader of the Dranei for over 25,000 years, who's arch nemesis is literally kiljaeden himself

baka senpai

>Twenty-five thousand years ago, the world of Argus was shaped into a paradise by the eredar race who called it home. Velen, who is known and respected for his immense wisdom, compassion and magical prowess, rose as a leader of Argus, alongside Archimonde and Kil'jaeden, with whom he formed a deep friendship and affection. He even saw both of them as "extensions of his soul", so deep was their friendship. Velen and Kil'jaeden were particularly close, loving and respecting each other as brothers. One day, the peace of the eredar was shattered. Sargeras, Destroyer of Worlds, had noticed the achievements of the eredar. Instead of destroying Argus, Sargeras appeared before the leaders of the eredar. Presenting himself as a benevolent entity, Sargeras offered to transform the eredar into an even more powerful race of beings, with the goal of unifying all the races of the universe. In return, they would serve Sargeras as his perfect spellcasters, spreading his universal union with every world they touched. Two of the eredar's triumvirate of leaders, Archimonde and Kil'jaeden, along with two-thirds of the eredar population, took the offer. Only one eredar leader realized the true horror of Sargeras' Burning Crusade: Velen.

how can one Dranei be so based?

FUCK OFF ARCHIMONDE

Why the fuck am I losing so much MMR and gaining so little, surely I can't be in the "better" team every single time, this is ridiculous

you can check yourself whether you are or not, that probably is what's happening

You are probably in teams full of 2.5k rated people

I just checked, in most of the games we are the higher mmr, BUT I am the lowest one in my team but I lose the HIGHEST MMR, what the actual fuck is that? There are people with 800 MMR over me in my team when we lost, but they lost only 24 while I lost 54, how is this even possible?

the amount of mmr won/lost depends on how many games youve played

You lose/gain less when you have more games played because the system thinks you are where you belong

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

I only have 150 games, whereas some of my teammates have like 700 and much higher MMR, how the hell does that make sense?

They're better than you, so they won more of their early games. Or, they started out at your level and slowly improved over all their games. This is how MMR systems work.

Yes they are better than me and have higher mmr, so that means when they lose to people with 1k less than them, they should lose a kajilion and I shouldn't since I am much closer/at the the average game MMR. But it is the exact opposite

After that many games, the system is pretty sure they are where they belong, so their MMR drops less on losses. This cuts both ways, though, and if they beat someone who's 1k mmr above them they won't gain as much. Their mmr gain/loss is the "normal" rate, while yours is more akin to placement games. Over a long span of games, the amount you gain or lose per game has no effect whatsoever. Given you stay at the same skill level, your MMR will be about the same after 100 games whether you lose 10 or 500 mmr per loss.

your personal mmr doesnt affect how much you will win at all, its the teams mmr that is used
the reason you are losing more points is because you have fewer games played so the system is less "confident" about how accurate your mmr currently is

I think I understand now, thanks anons. Kinda sucks tho, I was 3400-3500 for the majority of the time, then I started playing with these 2 guys and my MMR tanked hard

He's actually going to do something in legion betray the alliance and leave azeroth in his gay ass ship.

So, the proper solo meta tanks are Mura and Johanna, right? I know no tanks are in a bad place right now, but just to make sure.

That's fairly common. People who have experience with other mobas come in and stomp noobs that have no experience for a bunch of games, and they tend to get inflated mmr because of it. As you start getting people that know the game, though, your mmr will start to even out.

Mura and ETC are the meta solo tanks. Johanna is often the third choice, but tends to be on a slightly lower tier than the other two. Anub and Arthas have been popping up a lot recently, but I'm not convinced they're the greatest solo tanks in the same situations as Mura and ETC.

Yeah thats what happened, I've been playing dota for around 8 years and I've been stomping the kids in this game non stop

>no Warlord Zaela
>no Siegemaster Mar'tak

>if they ever add an orc lady, it'll be Aggra or Draka instead of someone cool
kill me

Hey guys, here from the reddit thread. How come you guys didn't share the leaks with us? Ya can't keep that awesomesauce all to yourselves, LOL. Anyways, I think I'll stay 'round these parts, I like all the "memes" here, they sure give me good chuckle!
EDIT: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!

>warsong commander's trait
>minions around you deal 1% more damage

>no tanks are in a bad place right now

Hello I am made out of paper, have no defensive capabilities worth mentioning and half the meta kites me to death

YOUR SOUL SHALL SUFFER!

I greet you

rip one true king

I greet you.

Muradin = ETC > Johana = Stiches > Everyone Else

but muh sonya? she's pretty hot, my dream is to be handled by a big muscle woman, and I always take her leap talent to hear her screaming AUUUUUU :^)

>92 point game
>blizz matchmaking

Sonya is the best bruiser, not a solo tank though.

>2 wins away from rank 1
>it's the weekend
Guess I'll wait two days before playing HL again

Sonya is not really a tank but a bruiser. She's definitely top tier bruiser though and she's Queen of shrines.

WHY WHY WHY DO I KEEP GETTING TYRANDE SOLO SUPP ON MY TEAM AGAINST A BUNCH OF DIVE/NUKE HEROES

STOP IT
STOP RUINING MY GAMES

There are no memes here.
This is a dead serious general.
Mostly dead though.

I predict Legion launch to kill this thread off for good

because solo supp starfall tyrande is a trendy pick right now

itll be garona

>MY FUCKING FACE WHEN PEOPLE PICK BLINDS TO COUNTER TYCHUS

Arthas can tank no better than Sonya

Dont know about Anub

post weekend stories
>slowly climbing out of bronze

Whats wrong with it? Most of his damage comes from autoattacks

>tfw you are top siege and hero damage and xp gained as abathur
I wish I had a useful team sometimes

>smurf placements
>primarily playing Xul and just shoving lanes in because the Bronze just can't cope
>first pick hovering Zagara
>some guy in draft starts freaking out about double specialist and how we don't need two laners and we should get an "assassin damage like kerrigan"
>rank 30 or so

my this is quite the experience

Wasn't there a bug, or maybe its intended, that you can't blind his (tank shredding) trait damage, because it counts as an ability?

What's the issue, exactly? Aren't you the only constant, and shouldn't queuing when more bad people are on theoretically be better for you

Tell me about it
>first on hero damage
>95% kill participation
>0 deaths
>first on xp gained
