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.

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

0-5 Faye loves me
6-9 Faye will never love me and I will kms

First for memeslug.

Where the FUCK is Superman????

yess!!!!

why is he doing a nazi salute

\becaose its for harnessting the power of the hitler so he is granted invistibl wings with witch he can fly with

murvelcuk fanboiii

RUDE

...

Your soul shall be mine!

johana is so fucking good in soloqueue

AURIEL

Is another 40% Winrate hero.
All the reddit cucks going on about how "medivh is just situional, hell get great in competitive" and he's literally never played and will never be buffed

her kit is good and with the buffs she became quite tanky and deals a lot of damage. her tankyness and damage got nerfed again but she is still quite good and punishes bad positioning.

FUN and CUTE and PURE!
she has a active playstyle kit that is fun to use, has a high skillcap(for supports) and has a lot of potential for meme comps.

I actually think Auriel is good

I've played some matches with her in my team, as illidumb, and the heals are reliable, the stun handy, and the ults are good

>have very few heroes, but like the ones I have
>tempted to get the 20k gold pig mount anyway
dissuade me

Most of the heroes are very fun to play, just try to get the ones on free rotation to 5. It gives you a decent amount of time to figure out if you like them or not.

it looks like shit, save for a master skin or something

real tryhards use the vulture

>tfw I had a good fucking match today with a Medivh-ETC duo stack and a Zagara

do not shit talk my good boy. he casts polybomb into mosh pit and gets the kills.

What good heroes are you not good with? What poor heroes are you good with?

For me (respectively it's,
Tychus
then
Gazlowe, Jaina, Nova and Stitches

Kael, Uther, Rehgar.

I like to think I'm good with Jaina and Butcher.

Never touching TLV and Aba again, for the good of my own teammates.

You mean the smurf mobile?

The red tint variation looks really good, is my favourite mount

fucking kek @ image

Also,
>not using the legendary hs card
lamo

think they are doing it on purpose at this point with the shit character balance. nothing since chromie should have passed anyone over silver the way it was released.

KT, Rehgar, Sylvanas. but I'm objectively a god with Leoric, Sonya and Anub'arak.

I don't care if she has 30% win rate, I love her and I'm going to marry her

Oh, I missed one, but it's a grey area. I have a dog shit winrate with Chromie (~33%) I like her and all, but she's very niche and effortlessly fucked (mhm~) with.

No, I'M going to marry her!

She can't give you gobbies, m8s,

Shit waifu tbqh

Faye can...

>implying

>people still think Medivh is sub-par
literally lamoing at all of them. he's such a strong as fuck hero. also laughing at people who think he's incredibly difficult to play.

>play Gul'dan
>suck dick
>play Sonya
>rub my 2 brain cells together
>play Gul'dan like a mid range Sonya
>win

come at me plebs

>hurr durr I get carried into GM by one of the most broken heroes in the game

nobody cares about your video game points in a dead game, loser.

>Gul'dan
>mid range sonya
....what? You can stun and spin from range?

no, you stamp out your Q on cooldown in the general direction of something red just like Sonya's W.

>Heroes I do best with are odd and awkward compared to the rest of the roster"
>Heroes I struggle the most with are very straightforward and simple

I don't know what's wrong with me.

I dare you to be more salty

listen dude I don't give a fuck. did you just finish a 30 minute game on Gardens that was full of amazing plays and clutch saves because both teams were not shit? did you just get 100K in both damage categories as Gul'dan? did you have a laugh with your friends over voice chat because you were all having a good time?

no, you didn't.

you came here to post a screenshot of your Ranked screen to get your proverbial dick sucked by anonymous strangers on a Chinese embroidery imageboard, possibly after lurking for more than an hour shitposting because your duo queue butt buddy is busy getting his chicken tendies. I had fun today because I don't give a shit about Ranked. and when this game is finally dead, that will have meant something. your dumbass rank won't.

Master, I am Yours to command! Fill our hearts with Hope!

I both hate and like the fact that they added Ranked rewards. I'd never bother with Ranked otherwise, but I do love my Elemental Wolves.

what else would you be doing with the 1.5 second cooldown nuke? NOT casting it?

is she a nigger like tyreal?

I dunno, I see enough guldans who use it maybe once per minute.

>both teams were not shit
is this code for "it was in silver, not bronze"

Anymore of these?
I remember there was a magazine cover that had blue on it. Probably water. Had Li Li and maybe Tychus. Maybe a rollarcoaster. Shit I forgot.

it was Unranked. maybe learn to read.

>"onto" instead of unto

0/10

People also stopped with the bees
I liked the bees and I need Auriel bee

...

Even though I sounded like absolute bullshit I was still spot on.
Wew laddie am I ever salivating over the golden age of shitposting here.

Where is anime girl Kerrigan and anime girl chen?

I'll let you have them whenever HotS gets a troll hero.

CUTE

Who is the one closest on the foreground on the left?

Is it supposed to be Li Ming, cuz those aren't the right colors.

It's Uther, silly. She's gotta represent the authority of pillow fight standards and the diplomacy that follows the war-crime usage of teddy bears.

These animu adaption images wouldn't be so shit if they actually made an effort. So little of the character remains. They use the absolute barebones in material and colour. Looks overall lackluster.

Seconding this, post bees.

Made a Nova bee for you guys.

It's lackluster to you because in your heart you know that every 9 out of 10 animoo weeb shit style you see is simply just rehashed dribble based on a terrible body model foundation.
I'm spooked.

>Tychus
>Cigar
Hahaha why.

youtu.be/ec3ZSuT5dzU?t=36
>this quote no longer even makes sense because blizzard decided to go the riot route of removing a character's cigar
fucking why
is it so that they can remove that one disclaimer in front of a game that says "Contains usage of tobacco and alcohol"?

Wait, people play this shit? Why?

it's fun

Cuz sometimes I need to get my fill of cutie panda Li Li so that I can rub up against cutie barbarian "lady" and fill her esophagus with alcoholic beverages.
That's quite literally the only appeal to shit piece of shit action brawler besides how predictable it is.

It's more fun than any MOBA I've played, and filled with a bunch of characters I already know and love.

Baal, D2 Druid and Sunwalker Drezco when?

>25 to 7 kills lategame
>they had 1 specialist and we didn't
>lost

x)

...

Depending on Specialist, you could have had a team fight advantage. Depending on your team, you could have had good waveclear and had someone to act as the "Specialist" of sorts on your team. You may have potentially been able to jump them, or their Specialist, then forced an un-even fight.

>25 to 7
>Fuck around instead of dick slamming the enemy core
Completely deserved

What is an acceptable amount of Globe of Annihilation bonus at the end of a game? I can't seem to get anything close to a good amount and that's in fucking AI games.

thats because you 100% need a stack slave and group knowledge of stacking to help you do it properly

Okay. That makes sense. I was wondering how to get the ball rolling.

It didn't help that I forgot that Globe inherently gets stronger from further away and it wasn't a talent thing.

But it definitely feels too slow without some help.

AYEEEEEEEH

ggs to the anons who pulled off an amazing Auriel+Cho'gall combo game

I think that was an old version of the trait Sieging Wrath, not inherently?

Ben Brode's laugh is so loud that he's credited in every blizzard game

Arthas is fun as fuck! Why didn't anyone tell me?

His trait looks ridiculously boring, but it is actually pretty fun with the quest.

His trait is, like a few others, just a fourth ability.

STRIKER LI MING ON SALE NEXT WEEK WEW LADS

I only played two games with him and they were both QM, but christ, when you are ahead with him, you are fucking AHEAD. I survived engagements I should've have and kept freezing EVERYONE.

We wrecked. I don't think people at my MMR know what his abilities do.

Auriel is cute

The dmg+ on your E and the burst from a talented Frostmourne really catches lower ranks off guard. Arthas carried me from Rank 37 to 13 in 3 days (with bonus points) with double bruiser comps just before the new ranking system. My favorite hero desu

What? It changes desu to desu?

it also changes senpai to senpai

Veeky Forums.

...

Fug me, wrong file.

What is the point of Medivh?

Why doesn't Blizzard ever hotfix anything? Every damn patch something else just breaks and makes a hero completely useless. Instead of making this a priority and getting it fixed they take WEEKS to fix the problem.

They hotfix game breaking stuff. One hero having a few issues, not so much.

Caw caw.

That's literally unacceptable. If a hero has major problems related to bugs then they can't just brush it off for 6 weeks and wait for the next patch. Balance sure, but not bug related stuff. Also they always manage to break something like bodyblocking and of course they never fix it for months.

To completely break competitive hots when the Koreans finally get around to mastering him

Did they break bodyblocking? I know you could push mercs last patch which they fixed for this one. I haven't really played since the patch came out

They broke it so that enemy heroes were able to push you around so if you tried to bodyblock they could just push you away. Leoric would try to entomb someone only to have them walk out and push leoric out of the way.

They fixed that part after a few weeks of wavering and giving stupid responses, but theres still issues with allies moving you so channeled abilities can be ruined by your own allies bumping into you and now Misha and Aba's monstrosity get stuck on creeps.

>hots
What a meme game lmfao, why do you still keep playing it

meme's, are good

Thanks for the bump, this thread needs it. Please come back again later
