They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

Not as much as I like Chromie.

Feels bad man

THIS GUY!

>i am the strongest woman in the world

she hasn't met sonya yet has she

i wonder if zarya/sonya stuff exists yet

>an unstoppable force meets an immovable object

christ the porn

Do they wrestle to find out who is going to be top?

I understand, but like some people already said here, Deathwing specially is not just giant, he is colossal, and part of his fame is his size too, so I'd rather have a rework on his human form so it would be more mechanically satisfying and as a bonus lore-wise would be acceptable too, because his powers get hindered while he is in human form

and if we are lucky maybe we could get a ult when he quickly changes to his original form, but like some other user already said he is too big

>mfw Blizz reads our conversation about DW and decides to work on a new SC hero

So which heroes can solo normal bosses and what do they need to do it?

-Rexxar (?)
-Sonya (?)
-Valla (requires discipline and lvl20 attack speed talent)

Artanis with right talents.

Tracer, but it takes WAAAAAY too long

a surprisingly large number of heroes can soloboss at 20, including Tyrael surprisingly
the real value comes from doing it earlier in the game though

zeebo can at 16 with the zombo acid

>>mfw Blizz reads our conversation about DW and decides to work on a new SC hero
i hope so
>mfw KABOOM BABY gets added into the game

Greymane can wear it down to 10% almost, I forgot to try it just before drinking from a fountain maybe he can...

Rexxar as early as 7 or 8

post it pls

Quickplay makes the weirdest fucking team comps I've ever seen before. I guess that's my fault for playing QP though.

For Nazeebo, why should I take Ring of Poison over Spider Colony?

to make people in the wall die?
for focus fire/burst having higher damage is better than shorter cooldowns

Why did they waste resources on Zarya the objectively worst character Blizzard has ever created.

That thing is so difficult to actually trap someone in, and even if you do so many heroes have tools to escape it immediately. Also it's on a 14 second CD so if you do miss it that's a huge part of your damage going down for possibly the remainder of the teamfight. The spiders just seem much more reliable and easy to hit.

yeah if you can't hit wall then don't take talents that buff wall

it's strong with setup though

>Reliable
>Easy to hit
Nice one

I see, how about the chen? it seems to me he could after getting the 3-pandas ult or shortly after

Dead Rush is great no matter what though. Both for fights and for clearing/mercing.

>worst character Blizzard has ever created.
that's not generic diablo demon #213

Maybe they assumed they could hook the Russians?
Maybe leddit was really pushing for their dyke hero?
Maybe the team just wanted a buffer so they took the literally worst character to put into the game?

>Sylvanas, Gazlowe, Zera, Nova, and Butcher

It's like this game literally tries to make me stop playing every time I come back to it

Like what the absolute fucking fuck is this stupid fucking garbage

Almost 10k and too autistic to buy anything but sc and diablo heroes

Which master skin to get ?
Auriel and Johanna not pictured

Chromie

Nazeebo probably has the best looking one.

>the way tracer sits on a horse

But why

you're the very reason for every and anything bad in this game
kill yourself

Tyrael's one is pretty epic

Nazeebo's is cool too

I'm sure you want some stupid shit from Diablo, don't you?

Zarya is fine, she's just not an interesting character mechanics wise to introduce into a moba. I'm not sure why they chose her and not

>I'm not sure why they chose her and not

Literally anyone else?

Oh man, it only heals against heroes? Jesus Christ, no wonder. As for TKing, I clearly have not gotten the hang of it. I usually don't make things worse but using a 12 second cooldown skill that you put talents into to do fuckall is bad.

I'll try alt casting it. I don't use alt cast for any heroes, so it is time to learn.

same could be said by half the roster
who the fuck actually wanted ETC in, for example?

ETC is cool, he's one of the remnants from when the horde was cool and not shit

how the fuck is etc even related to the horde?

>team of shitters are keen on me but not the anub and uther whos only contribution to team fights is running in and dying and not accomplishing anything

The band lives in Silvermoon

>add balance so i can buy zarya's bundle
>Your balance will be credited in up to 3 days!
>i've been checking every 10 minutes
god damn it, literally every time

That's another etc band retard and is just meme shit not really related to the horde/lore.

>>>>>lore
get out

>Want to buy and enjoy the new Chen but I fear he's going to get nerfed and I don't want to come to love him if he does
>Get memories of LoL where anything that was even remotely strong or fun got nerfed immediately, so you always had to live in fear of Riot's nerfbat

I hate it so much

Chen was fun and good even before the buffs.

Even Fatbeard-Blizzboy said that Zarya is shit

youtu.be/Efi1jRNnXwI

Anyone with half brain can see how useless she is. Her ults are play makers but that's not enough.

Weakest woman in the world.

>tfw you actually like Pallytime

I know he's not that great at the game but for some reason I like watching his videos.

Cain just might be that "controversial special snowflake hero" as well as our Diablo 20th anniv rep. Getting queasy here.

Chris-chan?

>someone on my team picks murky

What's wrong? He will carry your team to victory

Which male Overwatch characters would you like to see in HOTS?

>mfw my favorite heroes are looked down upon by most people and they try to give me shit while i have fun

this is why i have allies muted in-game, it's a shame you can't shut them up on hero select
also
>someone figures out it's over because they're sad sacks of shit
>they proceed to do one or more of the following:
>>leave
>>shit up the composition by picking something "good" because they think my pick is subpar and by doing so fuck up the team and blame me anyways
>>try to convince me to play some other popular hero

listen buddy if i want to tryhard i'll go play hero league or some shit and not unranked draft, it's a fucking videogame and i'll win however i damn well please

Butcher after he has his 125 stacks

Winston, Genji, and Reinhardt at least.

THIS. Dead Rush is a must pick for zoning vs a Ming because the running zombos cockblock her entire damage

>Nazeebo takes Superstition vs a Butcher

LUL gg ez

do you guys think they'll ever fix zarya? i've been here since beta and i don't recall ever having seen a hero so badly received by the community and into the game before

i mean i have fun with her but i can see how she's a patchwork of other heroes that overshadow her in every single aspect

reinhardt would be pretty cool

junky would be nice
rein would be cool as well

How about they stop adding OW heroes?

>my johanna: what does circle do
>their johanna is literally 1v6ing us

this post lets me know that you're 1) playing quick match and 2) not playing johanna, two very good reasons to stop playing altogether and hang yourself

why are there so many fucking mexicans in this game

>competitive hots

That's not an option.

>>competitive hots
nobody said anything about competitive hots
quick match is just garbage

and you're still not playing johanna

>two players on my team disconnect because "lol game is over gg"
>lose 12 minutes later
>get PERSONAL rank adjustment for losing with 2 bots on my team
>PERSONAL

gj blizzard

learn to read the english language

Any bundles worth gettign?

nice comeback you got there bucko

>says something incomprehensible because they can't read
>learn to read
>lol nice comback

??????????

maybe you're the one who should learn to read if you're having trouble understanding "quick match is shit" and some simple banter

>maybe you should learn to read if i can't understand english

Why didn't they give her an ultimate charge mechanic similar to Tracer's? They could've made it require more charge than Tracer's for balance reasons, just like in OW. Maybe have her gain charge mostly from shielding and just a tiny amount for dealing damage.

okay boyo

ranked mode is not "competitive"

you aren't competing
you aren't in a tournament, and there's no prize for winning

nice goalpost move

the fuck are you on about now

tfw afkathur

the starter pack bundle for sure if you don't have those heroes yet

what is it about this hero that attracts shitters who just want to afk behind towers? he has a global teleport but i never see him burrow into fights...

>500 HP and a whopping 20 attack damage
>HURR DURR BURROW INTO FIGHT AND HELP US

Which heroes would the K-ON cast play?

And it feels the best when you finish some fucker off with a slap.

That however, is true. If you want true BURROW AND DESTROY, you want this guy

user... he doesn't do anything. He has as much health as a merc, and his auto attacks do like 40 damage.

afkshitters detected

chromie is low hp and squishy but she still shows up to contribute to teamfights
