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.

>major patch gets released to NA
>It's bugged as shit and NA serves as a guinea pig
Every fucking blizzard game ever

What's wrong with it?

>Not 'machines of Li Li edition'
Li Li is top tier in this patch!

according to leddit the only playable map is cursed hollow and the free 4k champ function is fucked

What does this actually change though?
Or are you just saying her pre-existing functionality and kit just fits well into the objectives of the new maps + """meta"""?

RIP in pieces Murky

Hobo pls take your gm and shove it

It's because that #301 is your actual rank. It means someone above you lost and you moved up.

>It means someone above you lost and you moved up.
oh right, answer was plain in front of me
what still confuses me is why any one would continue climbing if they're not at sub #50, since they risk losing that extra 250 gold for season rewards

>i can't read
it shows, user

what do you mean
if someone's going continue climbing while they're sitting at like 2500 mmr which is the minimum for GM, they can either get lucky and go on a massive winstreak, or alternatively lose a few games and go below 2500 and get master rewards instead of GM rewards

nice

You get rewards for the highest rank you got that season, not what rank you end the season on

The mount speed decrease aids her ability to top off heroes as they move to rotate
Less chance of a successful gank on her as her fast feet is now enough to dodge flanking enemies that are still mounted.
She was sleeper OP before and now they tipped her over into unstoppable monster.
Rapid heals, fast feet, and amazing utility. Can't pick a better support now. She can even off-tank for a weak front line.

this somehow went past me, i just assumed they would be hard-assed about season rewards in relation to this since it's a dynamic rank essentially
thank you for clearing this up

>interrogationmarks
huh?

it's a meme

>needing Falstad's movement speed
Why? ;__;

Oh I know the meme but I've never heard them being called interrogation marks, only question marks.

Still the same hero. Stun and hit. They die.

>play hero league
>lili is afk the whole game
>rematch 30 minutes later
>same afk lili
>still afk
holy fuck why

I should read the rest of the patch notes. Might start playing again. I always used her as an offtank anyway if the situation called for it.
Glad to see they aren't toning down any of her utility.

Wingman kinda sounds like a nice talent actually. The 5% bonus damage to lighting rod for every merc bribed sounds rather neat.

Which should I choose? I can't decide between Tyrande or Anub.

>chose thrall
>it didn't actually unlock him
th-thanks, browder...

can blizzard do anything right

>Choose the BEST (Tyrande) option
>Have no issues at all and she's still available for me as normal
thrallfags btfo

>tfw facing the same dilemma since I own Thrall

just ask urself if you would rather fuck tyrande or anub'arak? its really simple

Tyr or Naz? Naz is probably better for doing random Diablo quests, but I don't know much about how he plays since I don't see him all that often. Same with Tyr, to be honest. If they land a stun I usually explode though.

who made this? looks neat

t. takada

>t. akada
prove it

>quests
you can complete your diablo specialist quests by playing starcraft assassins now

>not immediately choosing FROM THE DEPTHS I COME
am smhing my head at you man

man I'm gonna miss her version of relentless

Anub it is

In which universe does that make sense?
Might as well just have versions of
>Play X number of games

kinky

well it's only if you play ranked/unranked rather than QM

>Misha is fixed.

Finally now, if only they could fix Artanis.

Shake it off sucked. Her best ability was the cleanse on her Q back in the day. They took it away in an effort to make her cleanse 'Targetable' even when they said they loved her 'Untargeted nature' fucking scrub interns balancing this game. She's never been the same since, but she's still great.

always love the premades xdddd

wait what she used to have a cleanse on her 3 second cooldown Q?

that's pretty fuckin good

At level 16 the problem is sometimes you want to cleanse someone who doesn't need healing. For instance a moshing etc so he doesn't get stunned out of it, or someone about to get kerrigan combo.

This is funnier than it should be.

I wonder if it's possible to get akaijii there

So as always they fucked up the matchmaking in this patch, right?

Positioning solves the 'doesn't need healing issue. Unless your teammates fuck you by getting in the way. The Q cleanse didn't have a lasting effect like the current cleanse, just an instant removal of the current effect on them, so it would not work as your example describes. It was purely reactional and you had to account for travel time for travel time. Took skill to use well when needed but I can see how it was a bit OP on such a low cooldown. RIP herbal

So I can't play right now to check.
Is Alarak shit?
Also, did they really put a bunch of bugs? I see people complaining everywhere

In all my time I've never seen anybody pull off something similar to what you two jokers just pulled off.

Jaina pulls like +100 viewers. Akashi still has ways to go with his five viewers per session.
But I think we should try. We must get our guy into the top streamers scene.

Similar to Medivh. Decent hero, high-skill cap/requires a good player. Already getting games that have no Alarak in them. Too hard for most players.

People will always complain, for any reason, at any time and place, forever and ever.

his spotlight is out
looks pretty cool desu

first he needs to be decent, right now he isn't. give him a couple more months to develope

I don't get it.

He quoted Warfield when Tychus and Jimmy saved him.

>The only way to get the new skins is a 60 dollar bundle.

Good one Blizz.

At least he's gold.

do you have a single fact to back that up

Shit, that would really be amazing if that happened, would really love to expand my stream more but as of right now it's more of a hobby than anything, would need a fuckton of support in order to reach that point

For fucking sure, I'm still pretty bad at this game on 90% of the heroes. really do welcome any and all critique while I stream on what I can improve nad what I should to vs not do thanks to one user I went from dying constantly with tychus to dying less constantly, which was really fucking helpfull since I can actually deal damage with him now Albeit not that much, but still

was*
I'll still get my golden portrait so it still counts mother fuckers!

>fuckton of support
i wont give you any money, the best you can expect from me is ridicule when you fuck up and leaving the stream in background for that view count.

jesus christ, auriel is surprisingly strong
is she considered good or bad?

Good.

Ain't talking about money, fuck money desu.
Thinking more shit like talking in chat, keeping viewcount over 1, stuff like that. I don't demand anything of you guys, it's all for good fun, for you guys and for me. But I'd gladly accept any help that you guys want to give. Fucking love you fags nohomo tho

>auriel is good, is auriel good?

what the fuck did you just post

Hold up senpai I got you

>auriel is good, is she considered good?
ftfy famitsu

You get them early, you can buy them normally over the next couple of weeks.

I can party up with you faggot if you need a m8.
Just so I can have the extra xp.
But not this week.
Also me no talk.
And finally I'm bronze.

Auriel is really good, with a nice team you can heal more than any other healer in the game, plus you can stun, slow, and use the fucking talent on lvl 20 to fly like a super waifu and reach the place where your team is fighting if you get killed.

Also, WAIFU MATERIAL, she need cuddles and vanilla sex with a nice impregnation.

very good
great basic skillset and crystal shard is one of the most broken ultimates in the game, if only for how effective it is in the burst meta

>impregnation
that fetish honestly weirds me out more than most of /d/

Think this:

>You and Auriel on the bed
>She wants vanilla
>She wants to be with you forever
>You want her to be only yours
>what's the most effective way to make her fall in love even more?
>Impregnate Auriel
>?????
>Profit.

Easy.

>making a female pregnant and forever bonding with her through a life you created together is a fetish not understood by some `people`

Thanks user, I'll make sure we'll play one day

Seven times in a row. Please tell me I'm not the only one.

yeah it's creepy and weird that you're into that

animeys and porns aren't real

people who want to make their animey porns pregnant and bond forever with them are way creepier than people who just want to jack off to them or /d/eviants who want to amputate all their limbs and magically give them a dick

>guys they have nova dont che-
>PING
>okay, but atleast dont try to fight hammer 1vs1-
>PING PING PING


HOLY FUCK WHATS WRONG WITH THESE GUYS HITTING YOUR HEAD AGAINST A BRICKWALL SEEMS MORE FUN THAN PLAYING THIS SHIT

>literally one of the most natural biological functions: impregnating a woman
>weirds you out the most of /d/

Are you autistic?

Dude don't worry you are not alone.

Impregnating a women with the sole purpose of forcing her to be at your side all her life is just fucked up.

pregnancy is the fucked up thing that happens accidentally when a retarded texan/alabaman doesn't know what condoms are (because jaysus says they're a sin)

So you're saying you're a Texan accident?
