>trying abathur for the first time
>ult lets me copy other heroes.

Wow, do i really need to know how to play every hero before i can play abathur?

>>No BW
pls hit me, i completely forgot about her

One of many reasons why he's the hardest hero to play, user.

It's okay, user. Everybody does. ;_;

>he doesn't have AT LEAST 1 lvl 20 hero

I only have 1
Kerrigan

Your soul shall be mine!

I have a life, nerd

In theory, but usually you'll only clone a few select Heroes with strong base abilities and/or damage.

Jaina and Greymane, for instance. He's also a pretty okay way to try out the new heroes.
Just flex/smurf player things, I guess. Should probably just be a little more stubborn and focus on playing a select few Heroes.

Zagara & Xul.

Moving the level cap to 20 was a mistake and if you disagree you are autistic

I want hotslogs to show me which skin/color combination has the highest winrate per hero.

I disagree

angel diablo

but if u wanna go pro, u should use skin according to the map. for example, u r playing valla, use red on battlefield of eternity / infernal shrines, green on garden of terror, etc

>autism

that image describes 99% of weaboos and neckbeards. and im pretty sure they're just introverted.

etc sonya mura jo
falstad thrall gm li-ming
khar tyrande reghar bw
xul sylv zag tass

They could just remove the level cap entirely, and not offer rewards for anything beyond 20.

Perhaps an end-of-season leaderboard for the highest level of each Hero?

So, will we not be getting a preview/in-dev video until next week?

an analysis of potentially autistic me:

inappropriate laughing - sometimes i remember something funny

no real fear of dangers - well, idk. i wanna die in violent combat, i wouldnt say im afraid, but i always get a feeling like im gonna get hit by a car when its behind me

may not want cuddling - ever since i was a kid i was disgusted by such unedgy actions, for real

may avoid eye contact - dont like human beings, 1st thing that came to my mind when i went outside today "i hate civilisation!"

may prefer to be alone - how does it have to do anything with autism anywY? STUPID

difficulty in expressing needs - i talk very rarely, so my speech gets fucked up, i will occasionally use sounds

spins objects - everyone does it wen they r bored, nobody does such shit in their free time tho

difficulty in interacting with others - dont like humans


am I aUSTICSC?

I WANT TO FUCK CHROMIE
I WANT TO THRUST HER CUNNY FULL OF MY COCK UNTIL HER LITTLE TUMMY BULGES

i didn't read past the first sentence and can say, without a doubt, you're autistic user

Polybomb is hilarious against AI. Also, Medivh is a strong hero but sadly most people can't utilise him for shit. Certainly has good potential with a good player in a good team. However, both are unlikely.

>typing all this out
>actually worrying about it
>guys am I autistic

probably but who cares

>we still haven't gotten any summer/beach skins

shit, i do have of those while drunk

>laughing and giggling
>no real fear of dangers
>insensitivity to pain
literally me while drunk


>may prefer to be alone
have you tried playing quick match as a support?

>may avoid eye contact
bitch that's why i play an online game, i also avoid wearing pants

>echo words or phrases
isn't this literally memes?

insistence on sameness
more memes

>inappropriate attachments to objects
pic related

>difficuly in epxressing needs, may use gestures
am silenced, i communicate through pings, which count i guess

>spins objects or self
what else would i do while waiting for my queue to pop?

>no response to sound
my fucking teammates don't respond to my pings when i try to tell them doing boss while all 5 of the enemies are alive is a bad idea

bitch this just describes hots players

im not worrying about it, only some equality worshipping politically correct amerifag would worry about such things, im just showing hw edgy i am and things

Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me but I could've sworn dehakas Isolation used to blind people, did they remove that?

ppl learned to counter it!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's just bugged. Nobody plays him so it may not see a fix for a bit.

>dehaka ults me
>I can see everything
>giant tumor on head does nothing
>chadhaka just sort of stands there and then dies

Hope he gets a few tweaks soon.

>your team is losing
>someone blames you all the time
How do you respond?

>tfw you notice theres a hero missing in the other team
>tfw you realize the dude probably had a fall out with his team and decided to not play and make them lose
>tfw you actually feel bad for them

>People yelling at me for playing Medivh
>Nailing the clutch force of will and rift hits
>Keeping them alive more often than healers
>Still complain about Medivh

>tfw you click his escpape portal by accident and end up in the middle of the enemy team

I meant like johannas E/3. I could've sworn it used to do that.

No, it never did that, it just obscures your vision for a couple of seconds and silences you for a couple seconds more.

Eh, depends on whether or not I'm at fault.

Sometimes, yeah. Didn't Ancestral early enough, or I wasn't able to stun Li-Li out of her healing ult. Usually it's just people blowing off steam, though.

Like, even if Illidan dove too deep, too early for me to reach him with ancestral (and didn't dodge any of the CC thrown on him) usually best to try to accept a bit of blame, apologize, or whatever. I've had a surprising amount of games turn around just by accepting blame, whether or not I'm at fault.

Nope. Silences the target, preventing them from using abilities in addition to obscuring vision.

respond by giting gud

Shit, I must've imagined that crap then, shame because I used to use it for that purpose alone, silence was an added bonus (a fucking huge one but sitll)

>like to play butcher
>hes shit

>like to play leoric
>hes also shit

pls

Bait
Semi-Bait

pls

>enemy team goes abathur/zagara backdoor
>disconnect because you know you're not winning this

Is it just me or does The Butcher feel horribly clunk to play?

>no waveclear/cleave damage, which just feels odd for a character wielding a literal cleaver
>the awkward dance of trying to hit something you brand, or just stay in melee range of it
>E has a cast time
>E has an impact self ministun
>meat mechanic
>fat as shit
>no sort of sonya defensives to keep him from getting blown to pieces

You should ideally have a vague idea of whatever heroes you are about to clone. Basic knowledge on how every hero plays is useful to have, but not deathly essential if you're still learning the game.

point out your siege damage

>Li-Li brags about how she has beaten somebody in either siege and/or hero damage

say "afk in base"
stay afk 1 minute and then go feed
say "everyone reported"
waste your ult and make sure everyone see you
never stop pinging everyone until the end of the match
mount your horse and stay close to team fights but never dismount horse
/Taunt every couple seconds
B step in front of your team mates
spam the chat as much as you can
end game with "gg retards all noobs"

>have borderline autistic friend that actually does most of these things
>he hasn't received so much as a warning

Mute them and keep playing.

This results in a comeback about half the time, whereas arguing just dooms your team.

his kit is fucking horrible. every ability has a major flaw to it. but, hes fucking great in bronze

t. level 9 former butcher player

What is the least noticeable mount to use while invisible?

the doubloon or one of those c9 mounts or some shit. the pig works too. basically the smaller the better

WHAT THE FUCK is the "flaw" you found in Lamb to the Slaughter??

Bikini stitches nigger

you're full of shit dude

t. lvl 14 active Butcher player

It's only asking gameplay related questions when you win. Whenever you lose it's asking for your connection quality.

jokes on them, I only lose when I lag like a motherfucker
thanks ORD1

>when your anub game on point

everyone who plays the abathur hero just afks

Best thing is.
You can probably assign a hots hero for each of those

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

That is true

Where are Johanna's breasts?

If it's that slight bump halfway down her stomach, does she have a giraffe neck?

fffffffffuck
the one weekend i get some time to relax and play some hots, it's a fucking free hero week

>tfwywn be squished tightly underneath her padded coat of arms, under her chestplate

Oh, okay. Neat, I guess.

Only shows top 100 players? Any way to see the mmr of all your heroes?

Medivh is a terrible hero. Was he made to please the memers?

The MMR it shows is not hero-specific. That's just your general slogs MMR.

Oh, that's boring

It's a pretty useless leaderboard really...

It's basically just the top 100 mmr players, but you get to see which hero is their main. I have better winrates on my main heroes than the vast majority of those on the leaderboards

>mfw EU region has higher average MMR than US for every hero

It's not quite what you said, it lists the top 100 mmr mains. I mean, it can kinda be neat, but ultimately not as useful as most of the other features on the site. And winrate by itself is not a really useful statistic, which is why the leaderboard is organizing by mmr. It only lists winrate and games played as little bonus statistics.

Friendly reminder that comparing mmrs from two different regions that intermix rarely if ever yields no useful information whatsoever. MMR is a meaningless number that only gains meaning when compared to other numbers in the same region. If EU has a higher MMR than NA, that just means there's a bigger gap between the best and worst players (not hard to imagine what with russia and all) in EU, and says nothing of where the upper and lower bounds of that scale actually are in comparison to NA.

implying that's something new

Best elf is dead elf with delicious abs, Sylv is best girl.

anyone else /doingitwrong/ here?

>chromie's rewind ult doesn't bring people back from B'ing

You're immune to everything while in the fountain. It still works on stuff like falstad fly and aba burrow, though.

What if aba burrows into their fountain?
