Heroes of the Storm General - /hotsg/

Why does Li-Ming dislike cuddling?

Fuck Li-ming, Li-Li is where it's at.
>no panda loli gf to cuttle
Why even live?

I understand that people think that match making is not great and often makes for unfair matches.

But why do people think it is systematically against them instead of being completely unbiased?

That seems rather dumb.

Do you think Blizzard will do WC maps next seeing how they already did SC and Diablo.
I could imagine the basic premise of the Warsong Gulch battlefield working in HotS.
Make it a two lane map, with lots of jungle and a boss in the middle. Both teams push down lanes and once you destroy an enemy fort/keep it drops a falg. Now you have to deliver the flag to your core but you can't use the hearthstone while carrying the flag. Enemies must kill you and return the flag to their core. If you manage to bring the enemy flag to your core than your minions get a permanent buff.

Two bases: One Horde and one Night Elf
Minions: grunts, headhunter and witch doctors for the Horde and sentinels, archers and dryads for the alliance. Catapults replaced by demolishers and glaive throwers.
Boss: Giant Owlkin
Bruiser mercs: Furbolgs
Siege mercs: Dark Trolls

>>Warden
Maybe next year
>>Lich
2spooky4gaem
>>Dreadlord
Jaina is already in the game
>>Naga
>tfw no sssnneeks

because people are arrogant retards and they constantly grasp for anything other than their own personal lack of skill to blame for their failure

Is it just me or is Leoric completely worthless? He offers nothing to the team compared to pretty much everybody else. There's better damage, there's better tankers, there's better soft CCers, everything.

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

It is though.

If I'm going for a bruiser build on Arthas, is it better to focus on Frozen Tempest or Frostmourne Hungers talents?

Blizz stated they don't plan to make any capture the flag maps, since mobility/cloak heroes would be completely broken on those.

Next year it's gonna be Overwatch event with two payload escort maps.

Why is it Kerrigan?

Depends. Frostmourne against squishies, Tempest against melee AA-ers

Because the swarm eats everything non-Zerg I guess.
I don't know man. Not like there's any heroes that really have an insistence on sameness.

leo's cc is pretty lackluster compared to other warriors but he can do respectable damage to high-hp targets and still has a lot of self-sustain

so he's not the best in any one category but he's ok in lots of them

>Jaina

Yo, Sleep, carry-on swarm, vampiric aura aoe buff, call down a giant burning legion rock, it's gonna be good man.

tassadar's talent choices
:(

Leave Mewnfare alone pls

I guess.
Is there another hero that has absolutely only one build that you take every game, no matter what?
We risk the image becoming too dated, but who cares.

How ded are we?
Haven't played in forever, but managed to reach rank 1 during the preseason.

Anyone looking to play?

thrall is always the same talents at 1-10 and 20 but has 2 different bulds at 13-16

Just look at how low the twitch ranking is and how slow the thread moves this game is D E A D.
desu though it's not that bad and it's the funnest I've had lately since beta with a moba,

Is this game more dead than it used to be? I don't personally see any difference in deadness over the past year.

And I guess he'd love to still keep his hammer and shaman powers, now with all the stuff happening
And Metzen was the one that shat on all the Blizz games lores, making everything literally the same "let's all move beyond our conflicts and group up on the big bad evil guy", comradery-is-wizardry bullshit.
Pottery!

It's about the same as it has been for the past few months. Blizzard keeps putting more money into the esports scene, so it's obviously not super dead.

10.000 years in paint

>when your team goes full ooga
I remember being Diamond or something during S1, now I get placed into bronze games.

Feels bad

Warlords Update when?
Garrosh, Mengsk and Baal invade the Nexus!

That would be pretty fucking cool idea actually.

>And for doing so, they will use the Machines of War against the Nexus!

Metzen is literally the George Lucas of video games. He created something great by working with other people as a team, got full of himself thinking that his ideas alone were useful, and ended up destroying his legacy. Pottery.

He might be bad but at least he didn't make Sylvanas warchief.

>Mengsk wants to conquer the Nexus for the Dominion and brings the might of the Dominion war machine and Xel'naga artifacts
>Garrosh wants to conquer the Nexus for the Horde and brings the Iron Horde as well as the Old Gods into the Nexus
>Baal wants to harness the power of the Nexus and become unstoppable so he brings the legions of hell with him
How can the heroes even compete?

>Mengsk will never be an extremely niche specialist that fortifies defenses and summons drop pods
This is the only way I can see him, I just don't know how Blizzard could balance something like that out without making him completely awful.

Like an Abathur more oriented into fortifiying and beeing able to micro troops around the map?

That would be cool.

>micro
>hots

no

I really wonder what they have planned for Mengsk.
Can't wait for Blizzcon desu.

But, is he confirmed or something?

There are a few voicelines talking to him.
Then again there's some for Deathwing, too. Doesn't mean much

Same way Kel'thuzad was confirmed for last Blizzcon. Wishful thinking and single datamined lines.
Don't fail us this time Blizz. We want Mengsk as this year's special snowflake.

>Open GIMP to make the bumblebee of something post-tracer
>Remember that 75% of /hotsg/ hated the bees

whats with the fucking quest talents? is every hero that gets an attention from the devs gonna have a quest talent or three shoved into their tree? i fucking hate them

I love them tho

Cerebrate hero.
Passive: Replaces lane minions with zerglings (melee), roaches (orb dropping), and hydralisks (ranged). Can control units by selecting them.
Forts replaced with lairs. Keeps replaced with hives.
Q: Upgrades a unit.
Zerglings become banelings. Hits in an aoe.
W: Roach drops a healing orb for allies
A hydra evolves into a lurker (Siege tank).
Q -> R: Cancel minions
W: Summon Locust host. Can burrow and produce locusts.
E: Abomination: Summons an abomination at the point; can contest objectives/grab them. Takes longer to spawn the further from your core it is.
R1: Ultralisks. Sends down an ultralisk down each lane.
R2: Leviathan: Calls down a leviathan.

Talents improve zerg units into new strains.
Doesn't exist on map, but can't take objectives.

Could do this with other races if there's too many zerg units already. Terrain AI, Protoss commander, etc.

there were some russian datamined lines recently referring to him and Gelbin

>deathwing
It'll be his shitty human form, wouldn't it?
Being a dragon would be too good.

Could also be a dragon if scaled down to Azmodan size or maybe make him special by being a dragonknight sized hero.

>75% of /hotsg/ hated the bees
Lies and slander!

Some Russians found new line for him and Mekkatorque.

How is mah boi Azmodank right now?

kys yourself

Pretty good desu senpai

Kind of a mixed bag. Depends on map and composition. He's really weak to CC.

I haven't played this game since Dehaka release.
I got tired of no one knowing how to play their roles, look at the minimap, or have any situational sense at all.
Is it even worth coming back to?

Depends on league senpai

wood league of course

>got tired of everybody being as bad as me

just stick to beginner bots my friend :^)

I see they changed his traits around, what is the best build right now?

Does the system actually work now?
I never actually noticed a difference in teammates from rank 20-5
The only difference was that they got a little faster at hitting a key.

Deathwing could be a dragon if they meme it up.
The idea would be that Deathwing is always flying above the battlefield. You only see his shadow moving over the terrain, kinda like the Hyperion.
While in the air he can use abilities like breath fire (Q), roar to debuff enemies blow him (W) or create a little strom by flapping his wings(E). In flight mode he can't be targeted by heroes or minions but keeps, forts and the core can zap him.
His D has a very long cooldown but it lets him land. He can attack enemies normally and his abilities are more powerful. After a while he gets bored of being on the ground and he flies back up. Each kill reduces the cooldown of his D. Deathwing doesn't die when killed on the ground, he just gets pissed off and flies up. Getting bullied away increases the cooldown on his D immensely though and any damage taken also increases the cooldown.

No idea what his heroics would be other than cataclysm which deals damage to everything on the map.

>low quality shadows
>you see a huge blob shadow fly across the map

Arguable best is laser build, but it's the weakest to CC. Taking both Sieging Wrath and March of Sin balances him out a bit.
They have actual leagues now, the rank system is gone.

Make and post more bees!

But we already created all the bees.

Can somebody explain to me the hammerrang Falstad meme, he's complete trash.

Only up to tracer

>Valla says me (Muradin) and Uther are the problem, not the guy who hovered over thrall for all of picks then changes and last picks illidan into li ming, auriel, gaz, jo and guldan

fuck sake I hate gold, I was plat 2 last season and people were fun to play with then. now it's all noobs and blame, and I have like 40% winrate.

Someone post the template.

Learn to play as Falstad, he's hella good

I will not be denied (the honey).

Here it is.

>not `i will not bee denied`

>Previously on /hotsg/:

>that fucking tracer bee
every time

who needs to bee done anyway

Medivh, alarak, zarya and Auriel

Why are there 2 Gazlowes, 2 Moraleses and 3 fucking Leorics?

...

CUTE

A bit too simple but works for me

>it's a "4 people on my team fuck up EVERY single ability cast ever" episode

...

>Beedivh*

>not mebivh

>mebivh
almost poetic

...

Mebivh is clearly better

I accept my defeat.

That could bee the Rabeen Lord

I love this place

Don't want anyone to feel left out. They made one, we added it in.

>same Jaina player on my team 2 times in a row
>fucks up every ring of frost

I deserve this?
