who win ? That's a ranked game

Strong but has one of the shittiest ultimates in the game.

They really should remove the rng factor and just make it so it lands where heroes were every .5~ secs or so(so you have enough time to dodge it and leave the area).

That's one special team you got there

If they added him into the game, would he be a feral/guardian druid?

STAY AWAY FROM MY HUSBANDOS.

I can't believe my favorites are all so fucking underpowered or "niche" as people like to call them, though that just flat out means underpowered in this game. Rehgar excluded obviously, and I feel Rexxar isn't either, but that's all I ever hear about him.

>Ul1 one: shapeshift into a bear, replace manabar with ragebar gain fuckton of health a stun, a swipe and abillity to convert rage into healt
>U2: shapeshift into a panther, remove manabar, gain increased attackspeed and damage, gain ability to stealth, pounce and a bleed

>That one friend who refuses to get regen master on any hero

And do what? Hit them with wrath and moonfire during the first 10 levels? That should be on level 1 and level 10 should be random bullshit like tracer.

Gul'dan: Why am I not playing Kael'thas or Li Ming instead?

Because green Satan has a better sense of humor.

Because I actually have a pair of balls between my legs.

But really, I don't know. I fucking hate what they've done to this game, the entirety of the Assassin and Specialist roles are all fucked up.

>combo reliant
What, her combo? It's made very easy and reliable to do. I see Kerri a lot and they rarely miss their combo.

>tfw every time I see this I downvote a bunch of their shit
Wrestling and anime cunt. Typical. They rarely even post in hots.

i wish i could just ban bhb from quickmatch so I never get it
there's nothing wrong with the map itself but my teammates always seem to forget that it has an objective

i mean we had a fucking gazlowe and the only time he actually tried to take a camp was when 4 enemies were dead and the rest of the team was pushing core for the win

AND IT'S A WIN.
That's really a good comp actually.Red team had some troubles end game to stop us.

In his defense, oddly enough, Gazlowe is pretty garbage at taking camps compared to SO many people, now.

They really fucked over Gazlowe hard. I don't know what's wrong with these devs.

this game really needs voice chat so you can explain to your retard teammates why things like this are a bad idea without having to stop playing the game to type

>play Falstad
>tired so I don't play perfectly, but good enough
>dehaka roasts the shit out of me for trying to soak 9 to 10 when the enemy team is 10 and a teamfight is going on
>keeps nagging on me the whole game
>types half a book at me on capturepoint
>dies because he wasn't paying attention
>blaming me for not being there
>this repeats
>we lose because we're essentially 4v5 the entire game
I wouldn't even mind a voice chat of him screaming his lounges out, as long as he could play we'd be fine

Cute and fun.

They're actually working on a voice chat.

Tried Li Li as a more damage type of character and it's 100x better than full heal. Actually sort-of-fun and some-what useful. 100% heal is just boring AND shit.

What is your heal build? I suspect you do it wrong friend-o of just don't enjoy being a head-pat healer. Li Li is not as involved in fights as a Rehgar or monk.

You are a dummy. Even if it was a straight nerf, which it honestly isn't, it would still not dumpster Jo.

That's honestly a fix that might help with toxicity. Typing real explanations for why one call is preferred is fucking impossible.

I am a hipster and the only Burst I enjoy is Jaina, whose burst got nerfed so it hardly counts.

How the fuck is reducing the damage by a 100% and basically remove the stun not a nerf?

>Jaina's burst got nerfed

Haha what? Is this a "only bad people will get hit by the 3 rounds of blizzard" sort of argument?

because she can pick a different level 1 talent on top of it now?

Johanna with block/regen master + KTP lite still sounds pretty scary

Yeah my punish now finally restores 10 mana, fuck wave clear.

...

Well, that is true, but it more from the talent rearrangement and having to take things like Frost Armor.

more like

Oh, Diablo angels always had tentacles as wings?

Is Dehaka a good guy? He doesn't seem like a villain to me. And his voice scans more cartoony than villanous the way the other Zerg sound.

Illidan is extremely fun to play in qm lol

I have a friend who plays as Nova, and at level 10 I pick The Hunt and we just gank the fuck oit of the enemy team.

(In League that probably would not work though)

yup

Zerg are the protagonists of SC2

he was a nigger all along goyim!

...

nah, they don't have face. Blizzard fucked up by turning him into a human. They fucked up even more by saying he is the reason skeletons spaws and beasts start to be corrupted. That was non sense.

Paladin is black tho

Wouldn't have guessed that. I assumed that was a D3 thing.

I guess HOTS Tyrael is a pretty faithfully depicted.

i love this game, i haven't had this much fun in years, i hope Machines of War casts resurrect on HOTS

Friendly reminder that Cain was killed by a butterfly demon lady.

But Cain lives, so it's okay.

How long will Machines of War run? I'm guessing it will end around Blizzcon, in time for them to introduce the next few heroes and anything else they have planned.

He would be a guardian druid, then Maiev will be another assassin so we can have a full 5 man nelf team.

Lunara is CUTE!

Also the nerf to mount speed is a buff for her.

new map is terrible

>t. hero without aoe skills
Nah, it's great.

I'm bored so I'll be working on a new mag cover over the next several threads. Give me your ideas

"Look who is 4K and fabulous" is still the best one.

>Maiev still nowhere to be found
>Gul'dan tries elbowing in between Kael'thas and Li-Ming, fails miserably, HERE ARE THE DETAILS!
>Nova and Gazlowe, where are they now? The answer may depress you.

see

...

Take your pick

for the chibi lovers

>See why 30% is the new 40%
>Stay in shape this season to grab those regen globes!

should be the final issue, every issue

Brightwing, Friend or menace?

Why does Nova trigger absolutely everyone? Do they hate blondes or something?

Man, fuck Illidan. He is so fun, but I feel so fucking useless.

The other team had KT, Muradin. And usually an aba clone of KT or Muradin. I was stunned and murdered every fucking time. Stun, phoenix, storm bolt.

then dont go in when the enemy team has multiple stuns off cd, silly.

Muradin
Raynor (Falstad got nerfed)
Kharazim
Nazeebro

>KT Abathur clone

And that's why Abathur's clone does NOT need bonus attack or ability power. That shit is retarded as fuck. Everything else about Abathur is fine, but that garbage needs to be removed. They're making too many burst heroes for that shit to be a thing.

It's 95% sure that when people pick nova, they are going to be shit
I just had a match with a good nova, we were all surprised

>It's 95% sure that when people pick nova, they are going to be shit
That's true for every hero since 95% of the playerbase is retarded

In other bronzie news, it felt fucking unreal to do well AS Nova against a meme Nova. We were losing for the first half of the game, but fuckers were so cocky and obvious. The stealthies were fucking walking directly into us, basically in plain sight.

And sniping them out of stealth or hitting the fucking triple tapping Nova with Precision strike was wonderful.

I'll be honest, I am way too fucking Bronze to know what shits on or off cooldown in the middle of a game other than like 60 second ults, maybe. Do you just tab constantly?

I got baited by him once too. Frustrating. Ah well.

>Medivh: Portals and why you should take them.

tab only shows you your own team's cooldowns, and only for ults

but for e.g. illidan against muradin, you would just wait until he throws hammer at someone and then you know it's on cooldown so you can go in immideately

I have 10k gold, should I wait for the next rotation and buy the ones I liked this week or go ahead and start filling my roster?

Aren't they giving out a free hero soon and dropping the price of some other heroes. I'd just wait for that.

Oh, any idea when? I heard the free hero, Jains, thrall or anubarak right?

Sept 13th. Your first 3 choices are Tyrande, Thrall, or Anub. If you have any of them they get replaced by Nazeebo, Sonya or Uther in that order. If you own every hero you get 4,000 gold.

>blizzard jewing us by offering 4k heroes.

several of them were 7k heroes but they were discounted for this

>page 10
best hero when?

murky was already released though?

Next update. Also the cutest hero tbqh
