Play all the heroes on free rotation and see what types you like. Don't buy heroes just to get into ranked, it's not worth it.

alive game

Alive dick

I want to play Dehaka, but don't feel like playing HotS weird feeling

>buy Stracraft II
>buy Heart of the Swarm
>play campaign in easy mode
>play Death from Above as many times as you want

Is Leoric a viable choice in HL?

Your soul shall be mine!

yes, just remember to die as many times as possible so you can fully take advantage of your trait

Are we in a point where ETC is constantly banned and Jo is always picked?

It has happened every match in the last 3 days

>post waifus
>rate waifus

>Kael and Li Ming first ban
>Reg, Morales, ETC or Johanna second ban
No one bans BrightWing. No one Bans Anubarak. No one bans Xul (on spiderqueen)

>brightwing
Can't heal bursty damage which is the current meta
>anub
kek
>xul
He doesn't seem like a threat in team fights so nobody realises how useful he is

Need to update this

any point in trying if you lose the draft?

>tfw playing falstad on towers of doom and making the big gust and fly cap plays

Whats your least favorite quest /hotsg/?

"Play two games with a Diablo hero" here, I just find all of them so boring, always end up shitting up 2 games in QM with Azmodan.

3 specialist games
for diablo i just run sonya

My yearly "win 3 games" one

I don't like any of the play 2 games quests, the reward is shit.

Give me win 3 games and play 8 so I can grind out a few AI games for free money

>in this moment, i am euphoric

this game has too many starcraft and diablo characters. needs more sexy dragons from WoW

Play support or specialist

Hmm.

JAJJA CHUPA ME PENGA CABRON

Warrior games. Only warriors I'd like to play is Diablo and Stitches and I don't own either.

>comfy lane bug
>level 20

Excellent taste.

>Xul

Subtlety.

>Anub

No idea why people don't ban this guy more, becomes the ultimate stunbot after 16.

>jaja xd man locks in either illidan or butcher

>Kael and Li Ming are both banned right from the start
>no one in their right mind will pick chromie
is there anyone else that's burst damage that I'm missing?

Chromie is good in the right hands with competent teammates. It's just two hard variables that most other heroes don't have.

>Fuck this, gg I'm just going to AFK

What did he mean by this?

does towers of doom ever come up in HL?
I've had every other map besides that and Haunted Mines

Unlike Kael and Li ming, Chromie is very map and team dependant.

It does.

If someone shops the hands in there this would make a great pacha.

this tbqh, chromie was a half-step right into that direction, now we need proper aspects

Yep, but you shouldn't be seeing Haunted Mines.

>we don't recieve notifications informing us when somebody we reported has been punished

:3c Suffering.

mines is custom games only as is a special one lane map
the rest all are in every mode

All the play 2 games quests. They are over in less than an hour and give fuck all gold. Also pretty restrictive about what heroes you can play

>people abusing the tracer bug all day in HL

Nice game blizzfags

what bug i haven't been playing for days

whats a good arthas build?

>she hasn't been disabled
>nobody will be punished
>nobody will be rolled back
>people duo-queued up to grandmaster in 20 games

:) Nice to know season 1 is about as meaningful as preseason.

"Get Stuffed" at 20 causes your R to trigger twice, effectively 1-shotting anything that isn't Johanna, Stitches or Azmodan.

Level 20 talent that makes her ulti deal damage twice

Jaina maybe? She's been kinda outclassed by the other 2 mages (vulnerable to Greymane/Illi / dive comps), but she's still fairly solid.

Greymane (melee, gets shutdown other ways)

watching this gook gm completely tilted by chromie is p good

holy shit switching from manual skill activation to on-release skill activation makes the game so much less tedious

Dragons aren't sexy they're just big scaly lizards

>I'm gay
wew lad

I wouldnt be surprised if they added alexstraza soon

like you wouldn't fuck Nozdormu

I started at Diamond and I wish they had reset everyone to Bronze.

I'm South American and I don't want to be associated with any of those shitters that play this game and spew the chat with nonsense.

>Not wanting to be associated with literally the SUPERIOR RACE (fact)
Kiddies swarming f2p vidya shoulnd't be a excuse to hide your superior powerlevel, amigo
t. not /lat/

So is it officially impossible to climb ranks solo queuing? Im plat, but still, in 50% of my matches I get completely clueless shitters on my team, with absolute no idea of how to draft, or no grasp at all of game basics.

Im not asking to be put with pros, Im just asking to play with people who arent retarded, holy shit.

>start of season
>win 15 for 20
>this weekend
>lose 15 of 20
>now 20-20

forced 50 switch turned on or just an influx of tards over the weekend?

>influx of tards over the weekend

if I buy chogall can someone who doesn't own him play with me?

Yes but you must play cho and he must play gall

Yep! Just select him and it should give anybody partied with you who doesn't own him the option to play the other head.

Pretty sure you're able to play either, although Gall is probably recommended for the newer player.

you do realize that the enemy team also gets retards right?

No. That's how it worked back in November-January, with the whole get Cho'gall - give Cho'gall promotion.
Nowadays he's a regular buyable hero in shop, you both have to have him to play him.

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

so it was just during the promotion?

poison nova or wall of scary skeletons?

Depends.
I tend to like the wall of skeletons because they can be an area-denial tactic. Drop it on an objective like the Raven tribute to keep the enemy away from it until your team gets there.
If they have a lot of squishies, Poison Nova is a great way to hit everyone and watch them die as they try to run away.

spooky most of the time

nova only if they have a shitty healer like uther/tass/tyrande

...

I find it odd that people get good at the micro before they understand the game and that many people don't ever bother understanding the game.

Things like how to defend, grouping up before a team fight, pushing towers and forts when the enemy is distracted, and when to take camps. After a few people should learn this kind of shit, be a lot of people don't. I've seen people camp the terror and dragon to keep other team mates from getting them and then not even know how to use them or that they are for pushing. I've seen people who get angry if you don't push all lanes evenly while the enemy team rolls down one lane toward victory. I've seen the opposite too, where the team was at a disadvantage and they could wrap their heads around the fact that having more siege minions pushing takes up slack.

How can people play this, or do anything for that matter, so mindlessly?

Uther really needs a tiny buff after the stun nerf. Just an increase to his healing would be fine.

this desu

haha...

Ganguro Tracer when????

she's already in-game

What if I activate Arcane Power after casting Pyroblast (while the fireball is traveling) Will it be 15% stronger?

Maybe next year.

test it in trymode

dont listen to those retards only 1 of you needs to own him to play him, you have to lock him in before the other guy can select it though

just tested it

I should have done this in the first place. I forgot that test mode exists.
Arcane Power has to be active when you cast Pyroblast. It doesn't do anything when you activate it while the fireball is traveling.

Considering buying Leoric or Kharazim, thoughts?

YTAR GUIDE YOUR WALLET

Leoric is more fun, but he is in dire need of some buffs. Keep your money for now, maybe Gul'dan won't be shit.

>Leoric is more fun, but he is in dire need of some buffs.
when did this happen? wasn't he considered super broken at one point in time?

Gul'dan is going to be op as fuck, they released two terrible heroes with Chromie and Medivh so now they are going to have to release a super op hero that everyone needs to buy for the new season

Not the only hero that had the same thing happened to him.
Kerri and reghar come to mind

Is there ANYTHING Nazeebo can do which Lunara can't do better?

He can do some pretty funny voices
>AAAAYYYYY

Trapping your own teammates by accident

But Chromie has the OP "please put all your dmg in this point in 3 seconds" button that kills everything.
And Medivh has literally Divine Shield on 5s cooldown
: ^)

Chromie was insanely broken on release

Can I run Anub'arak as a solo tank or is he strictly a bruiser?

Also any Anub tips?

BRAK A BOA

First they nerfed his "absurd" waveclear (which was supposed to be his gimmick in the first place) to a pretty shitty lvl.
Then they nerfed his W by I think 20% or worse.
Both of those changes made him a pretty low tier pick.
And then they lately nerfed all iterations of Regen Master, which in his case destroyed the last part of his already low sustain and turned him into utter shit.

So THAT'S whats wrong with her model, I could never quite put my finger on it.

>accident

Yeah, my bad, I was going to say """"""Accident"""""

...

>tfw no RELEVANT dragon has been added yet
._.

>tfw zul'jin has been confirmed since launch and we still don't have him

But Illidan's mouth-watering dragon has been in the game since release.

Chromie is the most relevant, and you actually interact with her far more than any of the other dragons in wow, she was also in the game before the other aspects.
