Play all the heroes on free rotation and see who you like. Don't buy heroes just to get into ranked. It's not worth it.

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

ZARYA IS QT AND STRONG

1st for no DREADLORDS why?

Who is that literal who in the pic?

Tumblr needs to find a new game to play, pls leave

>Tumblr needs to find a new game to play, pls leave

This one user who keeps insisting Zarya is tumblr because she has short pink hair,.

I bet you think she's fat too, don't you /pol/ack?

>he doesn't like strong women to pin him down in bed
FAGGOT GET OUT OF YOUR BASEMENT AND KILL YOURSELF

Zarya is fine

She is just the strongest woman in the world

where do you get these shots of the models?

played a am game with only liming and sylv for damage
both used all of their spells on zarya shield and nothing else

we lost

MALF IS BACK BOYS

Xth for Zarya isn't overpowered you stupid crybabies

Do people say that now?
Less than 24 hours ago everybody was raving about how shit she is.

Last thread was full of people whining about her, and even some of the streamers have said she's overpowered.

It's just a knee-jerk reaction and she's not much better than the other bruisers.

Increasing her damage by 20%, and making it so her energy goes away at a crawl wouldn't change anything.

nth for Towers of Doodoo out of rotation when?

Google, tovaristch

>both used all of their spells on zarya shield
i guess that this was a mistake

That just means Sylvanas and Li-Ming used her spells considering they are pretty much aoe.

Sylvanas's spells spread to everyone or can't be aimed, and Li-Ming's pretty much explode.

>Playing Xul
>20% health mid lane against a lit Butcher and Alarak
>Skele build and Frost Mages
>Mfw ripping up the wave, refilling my health and mana, and shutting both down and pushing the lane to the core
Xul is COOL

>900 DPS is nothing

>first game of the 2016 placement matches.
>the state of solo queue hots.

weeewwwww

Nice balancing hotsbabs

>They let you get Zarya.

>wanting balance in hots
why do you even play??

Zarya seems boring

they banned... xul and morales, iirc.

I like playing her, but I also like Tassadar. She's like an insane damage Tassadar.

>Banning Xul after his nerfs.
>Banning Morales when you have that much dive.
>Letting you get Zarya.

Holy shit, what map was it on?

The new SC one.

Fuck you guys who said Endurance Training was better than Unstoppable Competitor. It most definitely isn't.

Artanis can be picked in HL now?

>just got a scoreboard award for "18% of team's xp
isn't that, uh, less than 20%?
how the fuck is that awardworthy?

The nuke one? If they were worried about the ult, I could almost understand it, but Xul I don't understand. He's still strong, but not really worthy of a ban.

They fixed his shield bug. So he's not bugged anymore. He's still old Artanis though.

Honestly her talents are all pretty good. Her problem at release was purely number based, and they had a knee jerk reaction and Kerrigan'd her.

i don't know who told you that. endurance training is her worst 13 talent

Yeah personally I like Pain is Temporary, unless they have a tons of CC.

No, the one with the two satellites. We essentially team wiped twice, did relays, then grabbed mid boss, and then won.

That's even fucking worse than. At least you were on the winning side I guess. Imagine being on the losing side.

Where does one can see Zarya's winrate besides hotslogs?

Zarya is real feast or famine hero

>Zarya is going to get nerfed since everyone and their mother thinks she's OP

Holy fuck you crybabies just can't settle down. Literally explain to me how she's better than Arthas or Chen or even Rexxar. Come on.

Can soak damage like a motherfucker, gets assassin damage for doing so, and manages to support while doing so.

I don't think she's busted, though. No mobility in a game where Li-Ming remains el numero uno prostituto.

she does tychus damage at full energy

theyreduced her energy decay so much that she can stay full energy pretty much all game (versus being 0 energy all game pre-buff)

set decay kick in from 0.5s to 1s
set energy loss from 3 or 1.5 to 2
fixed

Given that she has no mobility and no CC in her base kit she SHOULD be doing the highest damage of all the warriors.

This isn't something to scoff at either, these are absolutely huge sacrifices. She needs to have something ridiculous about her to balance it out.

>ponyfucker

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

I never understood this, why fire a guy who's giving us sweet information

How long have you been on the internet?

Well you are just going to create flawed hero that way
Classic "never balanced" monster that is either 30% wr or 70%

>Tfw you give a sneak peek at cool shit to boost morale and people ACTUALLY want to hang you for it

specially considering blizzard works in "blizzard time" never shows shit

You guys think Axolotl still lurks here?

he probably doesn't
thanks reddit

I'm new. How to dodge draft?

alt+f4

alt+f4?

us.battle.net/heroes/en/forum/topic/20749336858

The amount of people who get disconnected in this game is fucking retarded. I dont know if people just up and leave, or Blizzard's servers really are this shitty, but holy shit. This last week has been garbage, so many DCs or leavers.

>play gazlowe against malf
>somehow he always silences me in between casting tnt and gravobomb

how does this happen

Better joke than everything that /hotsg can deliver

don't underestimate the boomkin build

Is there any other build? Malfurion is useless as hard healer.

Considering what has been going on the past few weeks, probably a DDoS again.

that is not true, you're here after all

they removed/baselined most of the heal talents anyways
now he only has like 2

shit you're right
proper malfurion rework when?

This lands you in low prio. Draft dodging is dead.

>Malfurion is useless as hard healer
He is literally the best healer right now.

Zarya is a fucking disaster.

Release her as the shittiest hero ever, over-buff her into a completely broken one.

What the fuck is Blizzard doing with the dyke

With your mana gone after two regrowths and the ult healing less than an auto attack per second I can't see that.

>still heals over time
>still heals fuck all health right away
he'll have a much stronger impact with a team which knows not to engage blindly but he's not the best healer yet

falstad vs abathur is fun
>spot full duration locust
>fly into bush
>ez aba kill

>broken
>because of some small damage buffs and necessary CD reductions
the only thing which needs tweaking would be her energy decay

ya the main problem is that zarya just spends the whole match at full energy with or without the enemy team participating

"just dont shoot her shields" doesn't work when she can stay at 125 energy forever anyways

setting it to 2 would probably be just about right

>hate the character itself with a passion
>really like playing them in HOTS

What's their name, hotsg? Mine is Sylvanas.

get out alliance scum

>horde nigger calling anyone scum

Triple Tap is fucking disgusting

What the fuck

seriously
why the fuck would they come up with such a horribly underwhelming ultimate which can be countered so easily

Your soul shall be mine!

Zarya's Graviton Surge + Alarak's Deadly Charge = -4

What a juicy combo we just did right now, user

best combo is zeratul gazlowe, sorry

WHEN?

As Brightwing, why can I not click someone on the mini map to teleport to? I used to be able to do this, what changed and can I change it back?

They should just put fucking portraits of your teammates somewhere you can use to cast targeted spells and monitor the health of. One time I complained here and bronzies just said something like "unlock your camera xddd"

why is your camera not unlocked

Stats:
Increased Basic Attack Damage from 24 to 30

Abilities:
Particle Grenade (Q)
Increased base damage from 74 to 75

Energy (Trait)
Energy decay delayed from 0.5 to 1 second
Energy decay rate increased from 1.5 to 2 per second
Energy damage increase reduced from 2% to 1% for each point of Energy

She's near 70% winrate. If that's not broken I don't know what to tell you.

Yes, the problem is not the damage at full energy, is that she barely loses energy once she gains it.

i would agree with this. she has too low of a damage floor with too high of a damage ceiling and she shouldn't be able to cross the map while not even going below half energy

it is

not too terrible

they don't have internet in prison :/

they changed that a few months back. there's no way to turn it back on. sorry user:/

Fucking wrong. This is recent. Last patch or maybe the one before.
What the fuck blizz.

Zarya is disgustingly overtuned. I don't think there's been a hero this broken since launch Thrall.

simply eric
