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.

YOU ORC PENIS LOVING FAGGOTS HAVE 30 SECONDS TO TELL US YOUR 3 FAVOURITE THINGS ABOUT JAINA

A couple questions about earning gold:

I remember some meme about not completing the play 2 games as specific franchise heroes thing to try and get better quests. Or am I confusing that with hearthstone.

Also are stimpaks worth it?

Who do you think is she friends with in the Nexus?
I guess her and Tracer would get along fine.

Deter me from buying guldan

The holding on the quest thing works. A thing for HS is you can reroll. You can't in HotS. I'm less-inclined to complete 200g quests. But if it's a 600 or 800, I'll do it ASAP.

>Is spending $ worth it?
Subjective. For you to decide.

DIablo

CUTE
Intelligent
Kind

That is if we're talking about WC3/HotS Jaina and not WoW/HS Jaina. If it the latter then kill it with fire and Orc dick.

Onyxia when?
We need best fem dragon.

>We need best fem dragon.
We already have Chromie. Too bad she's shit in-game though.

Chromie never turns into a real dragon though.
Onyxia might actually be small enough to actually work as a dragon in-game. If she's the size of a boss or gargantuan she'd still look okay.
Every other major dragon from WoW is just way too big for HotS and would look awkward if scaled down.

We have Brightwing. Faerie dragon.

>faerie dragons
>real dragons

>MUH SEMANTICS!!!11!1!one!
Waifufags of dragons are so retarded.

LUNARA

Faerie dragons aren't dragons though. Not even wow lore considers them dragons.
Chromie is a dragon.
Brightwing isn't a dragon.

>Chromie doesn't have wings
>Dragon
>BW has wings
>Not a dragon
uh.........................lorefags?!

>people thinking my faerie dragonfu isn't a dragon despite having dragon in her name
uhmmm lol?

Chromie's trailer shows her flying over the map in her dragon form.

I bet you pick Hammer when your team needs a tank.

>people assmad about getting BTFO by memewing that they try to deny her being a dragon

>Sgt. Hammer
I see no "tank" or "warrior" there.

she's the only tank in the game though?
unless tychus' mecha counts

LADY VASHJ WHEN

Before Maiev for sure.

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

need more GMs in Veeky Forums you degenerates.

boost pls

anyone have an extra jaina code from overwatch?

Sent ;)

Is Illidan so broken right now?
Might I even be a decent player??

I've started playing him right before the rework, but I can't believe this

every hero is good in certain places and teamcomps. But most importantly, the player. For example I play a mad Gazlowe despite him being one of the worst heroes.

tip; turrets a shit.

lol

Well, I only use Illidan in qm because I have a lot of fun with him, but I'm not confident enough for picking him in Hero League yet

since when do we have a logo?

With the exception of Nova, who doesn't quite do anything better than anyone given how she's been powercreeped the fuck out.

How many games have you lost in a row that you blamed the team for?

0

My winrate with him is 77.8% and some people have even complimented my Gaz. However there was one time in a 5 stack where this 1 faggot kept bitching about Gaz despite me having a great score and usually with the team and yet we had chronic feeders. Gaz is a huge retard magnet where people just blame him for everything.

However I am aware that other heroes tend to be better and may be better picks so I don't ever lash out. I just do my thing and communicate with teammates (assuming they're not freaking out)

I disagree. I play a fantastic Nova as well and her winrate for me is very high. And I hover between Master and Diamond so it isn't like I'm some silver stomper. But hey, people are wanting Nova and Gaz buffs, gimme gimme!

Cherry pick away :^)

I can't believe that cunt put a blocker on Hotslogs. Yeah I know you can bypass it, but the fact still remains that's a cunt thing to do.

Hero League Platinum *

Son...

>literally bronze

>18 games
Son...

Also not having done ranked prior means it was a clean slate. Plat 3 from scratch is fine. I don't play ranked.

>borderline master
>le bronze

This is why you can't post anything here

Just Veeky Forums things

at least they have posted their hotslogs unlike any of you actual bronze faggots.

>using hotdogs since the prime shitter enforced ads

If I can't even look at my own profile without making him money, why should I use it.

What are you using? I've disabled adblock on firefox and it all loads just fine. There's only 2 medium sized banner ads.

Website screengrab: blob:imgur.com/fcd264d2-ff55-4c49-b61a-d3477af229da

I don't think I have any filter/preferences either. The website itself is a bit fucky, where it's all java based (?) or some shit and not actual pages usually. But I can view anything there.

How many heroes should/can a person "main"?

Download uBlock Origin, not the god damn outdated adblocker.

Seriously, you fuckers need to be spoon fed for everything

>adblock has been working fine
>try ublock
>get blocked on hotdogs
ayyyyy

Has nothing to do with the adblocker and all to do with what you are actually blocking. Someone posted what you have to allow for the site to think you are not blocking ads

Works just fine on my machine :)

how do you use Gaz's non-turret abilities effectively?

it seems like xplodium needs a really strong setup like grav-o-bomb, mosh pit, maw, or maybe zombie wall to actually hit anything

see >i posted this two times already

>set your adblocker to whitelist:
d3pkae9owd2lcf.cloudfront.net
while on hotslogs.com

>the actual ads will still be blocked but their anti-adblock shit won't get tripped

See for talents. Robo memeo is incredibly underrated and Grav-o-meme very overrated.

The level 20 talent for robo memes is godly. Many times a squishy chases me with a third of their life and I just turn around and slap them once to kill them. Hilarious every time.

I can not stress how shit turrets and (most) turret talents are. They can be okay sometimes in some objectives, but with robo gob, why bother?

Oh also robo gob (pre-20) DOES deal bonus damage to immortals. Everyone kept whining that I took it on immortals then "oh look, I deal a gorillion damage. Oh look, our immortal has assloads of life when spawned. Oh look, we're at their keep with immortal first wave."

>"cant you just do it for me?"

I should've expanded on your question. Difficult to just say and that's it. You just have to play.

But early on at least, bombs to hit the entire minion wave and laser the enemy or zone the enemy with laser. You basically own Murky if he's in your lane. Hit over and over then when he bubbles, laser. Laser is good if you can prepare for it. Say a camp, you lay down turrets, bomb then laser, then just as the camps are out of stun, you release laser. Similar deal with upcoming fights or if you need to deal damage to something but needs to be safely (laser has good range)

Bomb can be used to zone, even though it's quite slow and delayed, everyone runs out of it ASAP. So you can use it to basically push people away if you don't care about the stun. But of course if they stay in it/get stuck, they'll get slapped for it.

Macro-management skills is important too. Knowing when to take camps, when to push and when to stay with team. And team of course is important, you need non-shitters. He has an interesting element for time. Meaning, it will always take your enemy to kill camps than it is for you to capture them.

No idea what the issue is. I'm using adblock on firememes and it's just fine.

I don't want you to do anything for me, I want Ben Barrett to stop being a little bitch about my adblock.

>The level 20 talent for robo memes is godly

He has like 840 dps compared to a full AA Butcher with 35 meat stacks and nexus blades which stands at 890 dps, and that's without abilities.

Shit's retarded but won't ever work versus people that know how hard hitting he is at 20+

That's just it. No one knows.

NEXT CHARACTER WHEN ?

Samuro and Zarya are next

samuro and varyan actually

Oh yeah, my bad.
But he did mention Zarya.

Also RIP in Pieces Axolotl

>mfw karmawhores
>mfw attention seekers
>mfw reddit

Cool

I've been interested in those two since they confirmed them

>Chromie
Let's not forget Chromie its an "it" that decided to look like a femgnome.

Not sure if its good to add, some of the turret latents are bugged and don't work properly.

engine gunk? that one was bugfixed in the auriel patch

Not even surprised. I've tried them occasionally and they're nearly always shit. The slow one is sometimes okay. But again, there's better out there. Funny since if you look at the numbers of the talents, they're shit. Turrets themselves are mediocre (easily the weakest of his skills) And yet the talents are bugged to not work? Amusing.

reddit was a mistake

>3rd match in a row lost because one shitter tilted after he died once in a team fight

>turret talents shit

ok going all into bombs ty


Playing all lazer is great, but it just makes you wonder why you aren't just playing a Mage instead. Gazlowe is fantastic, it's just that he and a few others' kits have been powercreeped into a weird ass spot.

I too appreciate a good laugh once in a while, but telling bronzies that the turrets and their talents are shit is a bit cruel. All it does is unleash a new wave of shitty Gaz players into QM.

Help me play Dehaka. What am I supposed to do?

Collect essence.

Evolve

destroy the nexus

>collect essence
>lick squishies
>press W whenever someone comes near you
>ONLY EVERY USE E IF NOT USING IT WOULD KILL YOU
>SERIOUSLY
>kite everyone and everything
>take the talent that gives you 25 essence from hero takedowns because that heals you for 20% max HP or some crazy high number and that's boss af
>use D whenever you have more than 25 essence and need to stay in a fight

but honestly playing Dehaka is a bit of an esoteric thing that can't be accurately described until you get a feel for it. on a surface level it's just attacking heroes, attacking minions and digging to whatever bush is closest to your next objective/gank but once you play him, you'll notice there's a bit of a method to it that I can't describe very well. you gotta be in the Zone, you know.

Since always? How new are you?

>tfw you make clutch plays all game but get no recognition whatsoever

all my sick plays will be forgotten...like tears in the rain

For example?

I feel curious

It was rough. It was my first "real" game as him and my ganks did fuck all and since my ganks did fuck all and it was hard to finish the job, I couldn't heal for shit.

Ah well.

Fair enough.

Like winning a game in just over 8 minutes as Arthas, 7 out of 12 kills and 0 deaths

I wish I knew an easy way to make .webms out of the game replay files

Arthas can be a crazy shitter stomper.

did you try ganking alone? because that usually doesn't work. try watching the minimap to see if one of your assassins or specialists is getting into a 1v1, ping them and then dig to them. that can help get kills. also your W lets you walk through people if you didn't know so you should use that.

Is there a viable damage build for Tyrael ?

how does this game even make money. I rarely see people with skins

Whales like me.

Yes, but they seemed low health. Stupid me.

do you guys think hots will ever be more popular or did it reach its peak?

I could see it blowing up again if they do some shit like Cho'Gall again.
