LUNARA

IS

not that user, but he's especially good for 2 tank comps where you'll be taking a lot of poke; one regrowth if talented properly will heal them for roughly 30% of a late-game tank's HP

upgraded moonfire (which is a talent you almost always take) lets you clear a wave in 2-3 moonfires meaning that he can soak considerably faster than other supports

root lasts for longer than one would think so if you're not shit at landing it, most times it'll end up with a kill

twilight dream is especially good against dive comps that include tyrael/kerrigan and others, whereas tranquility is just an all-around good ultimate

ultimately i believe he's outclassed by other supports like auriel or rehgar in terms of usefulness, but in certain cases like the aforementioned he can really pull through

source: faggot sitting at master 1.4k mmr who always plays either malf or uther when he's forced into the support bitch boy role

You play him as a sieger and healer, take camps quickly mid-late game, keep your Q up on everyone once you get the longer duration, let your heavy mana users spam a bunch by giving them your D

CUTE

>Playing malf when you could play LiLi
Why?

Not natural enough.

>playing malf and lili in a game where they are by far the worst supports excluding tassadar

you shit talking my nigga tassadar?

>Tassadar
>Bad

www.t-bronze.com

That was well explained and polite. Thank you user. The malf I was paired with did very little along these lines.

why does blizz keep nerfing falstad? he's not that good anymore

2/10 poor attempt at a troll. Unless you meant that?
Even I (The #1 LiLi poster on /hotsg/) know how great tass is.
How bronze can this place get? It feels like we hit a new low every thread.
Thanks for the chuckle.

>using the world troll in the year of our lord 2016 while at the same time trying to diss someone

no face

>defending trolls

youre going in the troll truck

Haven't played since legion launched, anything changed since then?

why is this game dead

too casual

Kek back to wow fgt

oh wait shit wrong image

>It's current year we only use bait now because we are dick riding faggots
Sure thing troll boy.

Yeah right..

That was not very casual, but very lewd

tracer on blackhearts bay is ridiculous

I want to bestow my hope all over Auriel
If you know what I mean

>tfw new pc and can run HotS on highest settings

Yeah looks like the game is just like it was before legion. Nobody understands they have to soak lanes for exp and when you do it they start crying about it being 4v5

that's only your occasional retard or brazillian

It was all 4 players in the team

>tfw wrecking shit
:D

This game is so shit

I believe it. Some of the dumbest people I've ever encountered on the internet play this game. How do you play >2k games and literally think the game is still team deathmatch?

Anyone order a one man wrecking crew?

TASS A SHIT
TASS NOT A SUPPORT

>shorter duration
>can't talent into retaining any of it
>can't pre-shield entire team

Medivh is dope as shit but he does not fill the same role as Tassadar

>tfw got a giant widescreen tv and can finally watch Elmo's World in 4K HD

This user has it right.
Clearly if you have no AA heores then tass is a pretty bad pick, but put him with a tracer and you are in the big leagues.
Having your whole team with half shield remaining on them before going to an objective is amazing. Topping up on health when they clear lanes is also fantastic.
Tass just can't be utilized by bronze shitters that take every bit of poke without even attempting to dodge or faceroll into ever fight they can find all game long.
If you don't like having a tass on your team, you drafted poorly and/or you are a shitter.
Learn to play.

#swag

this happens with every single skin of his

kek

>ponyfucker

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

You seem to be upset?

Good. I hoped Nova would remain 10k too. We do not need to encourage shitters.

Don't want to think what's it gonna be like with 3 stealthers when Samuro comes out? Still hyped for him though

Is he on stand-by to resuscitate this thread when it dies again?

Considering this isn't /wweg/ or some shit, most likely not.

YESSU

Climbing the ladder one step at the time

AYU HEERU AND OBEY

you're supposed to climb UP the ladder, user

is that official art?

TASTE-UH MAI BUREID

Sadly, it's not.

AYY LISS

THE NIGHT BECKONS

I wonder if he's going to be warrior.

Specialists
uses pigs and TNT to destroy towers.

Source: I'm anally fucking Dustin Browder every weekend

Lewd
Tell us more.

I hope he's going to have a red skin unlock at lvl 7 or 8.

>red skin
"I'm a culture, not a skin tint!"

I wish, damn

Or even in his master skin, like Gul'Dan

#felorclivesmatter

>tfw no Rend as a Falstad type mounted hero

Probably just new epic skin for falsedad

I'd accept him as Samuro's master skin tint.
a) Regular Master Samuro
b) Rend
c) Jubei'thos.

when is tracer going to get nerfed, she's probably the most unfun hero to play against

she already got nerfed user

she's still not fun to play against though

You need to learn how to frands

Enough with the orcs already.

>3 man maw
>arthas root as soon as they pop out
>no follow up
Diamond 1 mmr hell is real

one day you will learn the pleasure of having a team follow up on a maw

I tried this game for the first time and it's ok.
I prefer healing/support type characters so which one should I try and unlock?
Also i downloaded the game cause I liked Xul and i'm a major edgelord and love necromancers in video games, is he still a good character? From what i've looked at online he seems to be one of the best lane pushers.

Play medic, learn to never die.

If you by then end of the game you have 0 deaths, have comparable or the most healing, and you lose.

Then you can objectively say your team sucks.

You can honestly carry yourself out of gold and plat if you play medic.

I played with a Zeratul who didn't know he could cancel VP early the other day so a 3-man VP into grav-o-bomb did nothing

but I explained it politely and we got a couple 2-man combos later

This

I like when people explains things nicely and the other can learn something from them

By medic i am assuming Lt. Morales? Thanks for the feedback I literally don't know anything about this game yet, only played against the bots so far.

Bets, go

Hard to say, if Artanis is good he can fuck up you and Illidumb with the blind.

But they have a shitty healer and a very squishy backlane, also only Artanis as a frontline, sooo

I bet for blue team

SHOW US THEY WERE NOT PREPARED

red also has a grand total of one (1) good disable on their team (malf's root), so they'll have a hell of a time actually catching most of blue

>rain of vengeance not a good disable
okay
