Heroes of the Storm General -/hotsg/

thinking blue

You thought wrong

i bet it was thrall's fault

You'd think that, but I won a 3v1
Was actually tassadars fault since

well

tassadar

I won a lot of games with tassadar in my team Maybe the problem is more
>silver

Tass does miracles when you got a good comp

>implying thrall can win a 3v1
>implying he wouldn't get beat up by random lane minions

>tfw you get the perfect Horrify off.

so I'm new at the game, whats a decent tier list.

Is there any hero I should focus to get good at base mechanics of the game?

Tank: ETC, Muradin, Johanna.
Assassin: Thrall, Li-Ming, Falstad
Support: Not Malf
Specialist: Xul, Zagara, Sylvanas.

Alright let's make a list of features that this game needs badly:
>decent reconnect system
>gifting system
>arthas visual update
>some fucking marketing wouldn't hurt
Help me continue

>people that actually know how to balance or at least play test the game.

I don't even know what happened, it was diablo, auriel and butcher vs lonely old me. They just kept walking back and forth wondering if they should engage as I poked them down

>thrallpologists

Yeah probably, I just know tass died a lot and the team blamed him
Also
>medivh and me vs butcher
>poke butcher down
>he chains me and slaps my shit
>medivh doesn't shield me
>I die
>butcher chargest medivh
>instantly shields himself
>tries to tele out
>dies before he can

Hey, thrall was aight before catashit kicked in

>09/10/16
dicks out for twitch

what happened

One can only dream
guess how many loses

what is a good vidya OST to play in the background? i'm currently listening to UT99s and it's great

9?
currently at 2/5 myself

forgot pic related

no

Couldn't open any streams. Seems to be fixed now, but it's entirely possible it dies again.

Man, I only need 1 game more to finifh my placements at Team League

I don't even care about my ranking, I just want to mount lol

My friends and I have been memeing super hard and we are somehow 5 wins 4 losses

Just play green characters. If it ain't green, it shouldn't be on your team.

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

Well? what is your w/l?

not features just some gripes. I wish hots didnt take the league way of balancing and stuck with the dota way. Remember when Arthas would be unkillable or Kerrigan with rewind could situationally kill 2-3 people solo or archon actually did damage and you could 1v1 people. everything just feels like youre hitting each other with pillows now

We thought about doing an orc team, but the game lacks heroes for that :c

But our god Samuro will solve that

fuck, kid got upset because our leader banned his pick for no reason, probably not paying attention, guess I deserve to lose for not calming him down haha ;^)

So you'd rather the game be completely fucking stupid? Fucking unstoppable Thrall or Ignite Kael.

That is fucking retarded.

C'mon man, for that Plantium 5, you can do it!

Actually, I think I got demoted from plat5 already. Does it still count?

I'm not sure at all, but the odds are against

if everything is stupid, no one is

literally read the in-game thing
it's based off of the highest rank you achieved during that season
if diamond was the best you've achieved during the season you'll get diamond rewards

Gotta say the valve way is the funniest at least

Still surprised there aren't random crits in Dota 2

I wish there were ever a reason to play Gazlowe.

This game's balance is so fucked.

Gazlowe is good in Infernal Shrines and Sky Temple

So everyone is god tier in DOTA2?

And battlefield

and bhb

Summing up, the Turret Build (the only good one he has) is pretty effective in maps that need area control and zoning for objectives.

>see Gazlowe that builds for turrets
>realize I have more than 3 brain cells
>kill turrets
>Gazlowe is completely helpless and dies in 2 secs

Define effective.

It makes the game end quickly due to how shitty it is.

Man i feel proud i level kerrigan to level 10 without landing a single combo.

everyone is situationally broken, yes

Hey, I just started this game, am I wrong for having fun?

fuck tracer

No, it's a fun and mostly good game.

yes, get the FUCK out

Fun is what we do here. This game is not for tryhard

yea pretty much

out fucking skilled nobody even plays Tracer anymore

Thanks, I'm playing malf but he seems disliked here
But I like having fun, at least my fun includes winning

>Thrall's lightning bolt can literally kill you through your gates with no aim or even sight required

What a good and balanced ability.

/hotsg/ isn't people you wanna trust when it comes to hero choices

this is SUCH a good Li Li, it makes me smile every time I see it

Any new players looking to pick up some heroes on the cheap. Target is selling the starter pack at 50% off.
target.com/p/heroes-of-the-storm-pc/-/A-21415109?lnk=abtest_searchpdp_1

1. its chain lightning, not bolt
2. it has a CHANCE to do so

t. metzen

t. bronzen

I fucking love Gul'dan. Why do I have to enjoy all the characters are mediocre to bad? The only two I enjoy that are generally considered good are Lunara and Greymane.

>Lunara
>Greymane (post last patch)
>good

tiny Li Li is a cute

haha lunara / greymane bad meem xdddd

Can you be bronze somewhere else?

testing revealed that it actually prefers heroes, then buildings and only bounces to minions/summons if there's absolutely no other target in range

>Those 0 Death Zeratul games where you get 15 takedowns

source of that pic?

me in the pic

gave me a good hearty kekle of a giggly chuckle there m8

There are very few heroes I would consider complete trash. Hammer was one of them until recently because of how many new heroes counter her. Now she's pretty great

Even Malf, who is easily the worst support in the game, can be good

theres only one that can be considered complete trash, fucking nova. like if she didnt have stealth, there would be no need for her to exist

>gold 5 using his brain
U just got promoted to gold 4

Cloud9 here I come!

>Cloud9
>not Bronze 5
hotsg plz

>situational
not even that, the user you're replying to is probably stuck in the darkest depths of bronze

i practically one-trick-pony tychus and have a steady 62% winrate as him, and excluding comps with weak frontlines (which, to be fair, all assassins suffer when their team's frontline is weak), he's never truly situational

All right fine, but only if we win every game due to bullshit

Oh and I've been trying to fix some new follow sound to my stream and need a good placeholder, so I was thinking you guys can give me your ideas and I'll grab the one I like the most.
Ex. Sound clip from "Always" and "name is pure harmony harmony oh love" don't judge, it's almost 5 am and I'm tired af, good ideas ain't my forte right now

Agreed, Tychus is highly underrated. He can fit onto nearly any ally team comp and against most enemies. People still think he's only good against double tank; when in truth if the enemy team has a solo tank, Tychus will shred it and their backline will just fall apart.

I dont understand your post. What will the sound clip be used for?

Whenever someone follows my stream a sound, image and text appears

Use the line, Loyalty is it's own reward from Leoric.

So I'm gonna ride malf until I get 10,000 jew coins, who should I get, preferably a tank I guess

Putting on my doge points on CM Punk.

He's 37. Gotta have old man strength by now.

Are you lost, user?

ETC, Muradin or Johanna.

Actually looked at a ton of hots soundclips and that one is definitely on the list

I think it's Anub that's free pretty soon.

Thanks for the suggestions

How do I branch out into other roles?

I love warriors who can bully with their big dick swinging health pools and defense and set up their teams to ravage.

Arthas "Bitch you ain't going nowhere"
Muradin "Attack based assassins?, AHAHAHAH FAGGOT!"
Diablo: Professional rape wraggler
ETC: One good mosh and I influence who wins the entire game
Johan: I go wherever the fuck I want
Rexxar: Let my bear work while I cap this here point and take a fat Orge shit (WE KANGZ skin)
Chen: The fuck is damage and man? That shit ain't even real, fo' real nigga like just drank brew

Only other class I like is support because BW, Purple ass and Angel tits are fun.
Dehaka: Falstad, tank edition

I need bully champs.

You've just gotta smash a bunch of games in QM or something to get used to the role. Not much else to it than that.
