>i go afk and feed like 10 times at enemy core in the early game because my teammate pissed me off with his stupidity.
>decide to win the game after i saw enemy muradin B-step

u guys NEVer fucking use b-step, unless u are 100% sure that you will win the game. h ow many times i have to repeat that b step is like a spit in someone's face, denouncing their status as a human being? HOLY SHIT i get so PISSED OFF when i see someone spam B.

>after the game i inv muradin to tell him that he is subhuman garbage for using B step and losing the game
>see him in party full of teammates, flaming them for losing a QM

admit it, pyccкий guldan sounds SO FUCKING GOODbros BROFSIT, pewdiepie!

He is probably dead, and it's all reddit's fault

Sup liteknight

do u think he goes to Veeky Forums????

what is brightwing supposed to be exactly

ur frand :D

Brightwing back from the dead--very happy!

rade the match exberience :----DDDD

why the fuk rexxar controls are so autistic? the fag that designed them should be killed in a very brutal way. why cant he be like vikings? its so much bbbetter

our team:
uther reghar medivh nova valla
their team:
tracer uther nova lunara chromie

how do i kinkbug?

Not be the only warrior on the team.

>pyccкий guldan sounds SO FUCKING GOOD
No.

Stun em for days, know when to disengage, use burrow to get the fuck out or to confirm a kill or during a team fight to stun the enemy but dont EVER use it to engage.

Im not sure he can be played as a solo tank after the nerfs but with careful play you potentially can.

>tfw we will never get leak dude because someone placed him in fire with fucking reddit shitters

...

in hots WHEN?

DIE
DIE
DIE

W E W
quick match sucks

>play HL
>enemy team has beefy roster with Sonya, Anub, Tychus and Azmodan with Brightwing on heals
>our team has Nova, Li Ming, Lili, Valla and me as Leoric
>my teams lili opens with "gg, they're super beefy, we're going to lose"
>retort with "don't give up, don't stop fighting"
>lot of early back and forth to capture Dragon shrine
>once we all hit 10 our team showed amazing teamwork and dominated the map and team fights

Leorics W Buff feels great. I was chopping down people left and right. Although it feels like his March of the Black King ult could use some work, it's not really helping in team fights...

We have to shut reddit down

they shud give it thrall ulti treatment, mby even longer stun duration

twitter.com/blizzheroes/status/748297529452683266

All hail best not!warchief.

>2 games in a row we are dominating and get fucked at the last minute

Here goes the third one I guess

>Sonya losing to Lili
>Sonya losing to that squishy as fuck team in the first place

let me guess that retard took berserkers wrath right?

Who amongst the men should have a lewd summer beach skin? Couldn't fit Lost Vikings and Dehaka due to 30 slots

You could cook eggs on that.

like how hard is it to target the bear on the enemy you want bullied?
you press one and then click on someone

>>press 1 for bear
we speak english in america

We will never EVER get a full picture/skins with bikinis for best girls in HotS.

I could draw some if the price is right. This isn't my work though

Anyone has time and is bored enough to watch a dirt league replay?

I want to know what I did wrong, in order to get better with the panda and in general.

Whats up with people drafting heroes they have no idea how to play in HL?

>I did a couple AI games 3 months ago with this hero. This is totally going to work.

Do people just not care if they lose in HL?

No idea but it happens frequently. One of many reasons why ranked is a trap.

SPOOK KING IS BACK!

>Sustain is unreal
>Constantly in top 3 for hero damage
>Don't even need Reanimation at 1 if you're decent at landing your W
>Any game that goes passed 20 is GG with Spectral Leech
>Fuck Entomb. Who needs CC when you can just grand slam the whole fucking team

Calcium King is hitting 50% win rate by the end of the week no doubt

Because they suck at games so they think if they pick the strong heroes they will somehow win more

I dont understand why they nerfed anub but he's perfectly fine, be on the safe side and always go double bruiser with Anub.

i think kinkbug is still based

Hope the development video shows more than just Gul'dan

It will show the next 5 heroes being all from Overwatch

>tfw you get Abathur mirror
>they go hat build on garden map
>go locust build
>completely wreck them in all the numbers
They did have a retarded Tracer who took all their terrors and wasted them on nothing for the most part and used recall as soon as the terror died, teleporting nowhere and being a free kill

Can't believe they've buffed Medivh. So much as well. He was good as it was now holy shit he's blown out of the water. Top 3 pick now easily.

Haven't seen ANYONE besides Grubby being good with him at all.

So happy this guy is still doing HotS art. I love him.

Enemy Leoric getting all of the benefits out of his trait

>its alright dude im leoric im supposed to feed XD

why do people do this

the worst is when you wipe in a teamfight and your leoric respawns right into the enemy 1v3 and attempts to fight them

I think he thought he had a great strategy at first dying inside our gates, wasting ammo and dealing damage to the buildings. Then I took mule and he realised he's doing fuck all now since everything is getting repaired while he's dead. That's when he went afk

Not sure why anyone would throw on purpose like that, it's not like losing QM games is good gold either

That was a strat on release leoric when his q actually did a lot of damage and the respawn was faster

someday has come!

Been 4K since alpha, face rolled into GM soloq.
Might be busy, but I'll try to get back to when I can.

>It's another day of no one on your team can deal any damage, heal anything but the enemy feels like their numbers have been doubled
Man this game is weird sometimes. Sometimes it feels like the enemy literally have their numbers doubled. Sometimes I feel like "Whoa what skill does that much damage at this level?" and you play that hero and it does nowhere near that, even with the same talents and level.

when you miss half your skillshots, that's what it feels like.

why are there like 5 different Jaina's?

It's just forced 50 doing it's work in secret

Might be, who knows. Worse has happened. It's difficult to stay positive in these games sometimes, it really feels like you're getting fucked in the ass sometimes. Also why is it that solo is seemingly better than 2, 3 or 4 like 90% of the time? Especially solo q seems to be far better than duo in ranked. Like non-solo gives you absolute shitter pubs.

>finish placement matches with friend
>6-4
>Diamond 3
>friend is put in Gold 1
Thanks Blizzard. Didn't want to play with him anyway.

The "reset" is a joke. Nothing fucking happened. The whole ranked system is a bit of a chopped up heap of shit though. To be fair it'd be difficult to make an actual good rank system.

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

I'm hyped for the Medivh buffs

It wasn't a reset, it was loosening up how sure the system was with your mmr being correct

If you lost all your placement matches, you would have lost 100 mmr before but with the loosening you probably lost like 200-500 mmr

for the arena mode

The point is that I played all 10 of my placement matches with my friend hoping that we could play together for the rest of the season. Now we can't play together. I finished rank1 in preseason because I cashed in on Zeratul cancer back in the day, and he finishes rank20.

So they really didn't reset anything at all.

Did the 1-40 rank system have restrictions? Could a rank 1 queue with a rank 40?

Like I said, it's not a reset. It still uses your mmr from pre-season but allows it to change more for some amount of games.

Most people who had a couple hundred games played and were rank 1 ended up in diamond 3. I had 65 games played when I hit rank 1 and didn't play after that. Went 3-7 in my placement matches and ended up in plat 1 since the system wasn't confident on my mmr even before the new season and even less after it started

Yes. To balance it out, the rest of your team would be rank 19-20-21.

The 1-40 system sounds better than the garbage we have now. So many times I have one shitter while the others are fine. Such a shame that one good player doesn't mean shit, but one bad player = you lose.

>tell last pick he's retarded and we need a warrior
>"what's the mute command"

I think some people are just willfully ignorant.

WIP

if you can somehow make "uneven physical and verbal skills" Abathur then you should

Spin = Sonya.

Wouldn't non cuddling be Tracer?

you guys ready for the new Gul'dan themed map?

kek

>Constantly in top 3 for hero damage

didn't realise players like this even existed.

Sonya and Abathur will still be added.

if you can't turn the crouchy guy into Abathur, "may prefer to be alone" works too

Muh dick
CUTE

"Innappropiate attachments to objects" should be Tychus with his gun.
Or just anyone holding Blackhearts coins

...

i wonder if rule 34 exists of the grave keeper and the raven lord

>ALRIGHT! I'M GIVIN' YA... TEN SECONDS!
>FIVE!
>...FOUR!
>...TWO!
Why did they have to remove this?

t. Garden Lady

>[yawn] the dawn has come, heroes
>and with it, so have i

Abathur fits better with "difficukty in interacting with others" while Sonya is obviously spinning.

but abathur's spinning sequences user
why not both?

"Innappropiate response or no response to sound" should be someone who pushes lane all game, not responding to ping on objective nor danger pings when enemies try to gank.

Murky or Sylvanas?
