I've been playing my games for the new genji skin and I must say the games pretty sweet. I did not expect that.
Alexander Young
We know.
Too bad it's scoffed at and ignored, so the playerbase isn't nearly as high as it could be.
Mason Nelson
>play with a bro and his silver friends >winning >then they do throw after throw like they're intentionally trying to lose Tip; don't play with silvers. One of the most agonising losses.
Bentley Jenkins
I only played ai games so it was easy but I liked how rehgar felt. Support with good heals and shit but I could still beat some ass it was tight..they're on to something better.
Jason Edwards
Which slut should they add?
Dylan Reed
Why is every HL game now filled with troll picks, how do these guys even get to diamond
Isaac Gray
Amazon no question
Lincoln Collins
kerrigan is the best hero. debate me.
Austin Ortiz
>tfw no qt amazon gf
Nathan Jones
Why do people hate Lt. Morales?
Caleb Brooks
Oh, Rehgar got buffed. 20% higher base AA damage, few talents buffed, his Blood Rage ult is now a teamwide stim drone with automatic heals, which is bonkers if you have shit like Valla, Raynor, Illidan or Varian on your team.
Ayden Kelly
Amazon got a Nova skin already, so she's out.
We don't need another mage. But we have no WoW rogue hero and no Diablo Stealth hero. Kicksin might be nice, yeah.
Alexander Carter
Jaina is CUTE!
Julian Sanders
>when you carry a game as Uther
Kayden Edwards
>when the enemy team is retarded
Benjamin Wood
Blood rage ult is fucking nasty and the other one is really good too. I really like how everything feels like a goddamn raid and it's just eye candy as well. Really nice. Is the blademaster fun? I want to play him but he's like 10k.
David Rivera
Regardless whether you win or not, managing 4/5 more abilities than your team-mates is a satisfying ability on its own.
Michael Lopez
Because people don't know how to focus a healer down that has to be leashed to whomever she's healing.
Oliver Lee
Solo Varian tank, is that a thing? Because it feels like it wouldn't be, the fucking guy can't do a whole lot.
Luke Ortiz
Depends. He's a slippery squishy annoying cunt with lots of damage. Similar to Zeratul or Nova in deleting unaware backline characters, but can put up a decent fight on the frontline. AoE fucks your shit up though, don't pick this guy against KT or Guldank if they know what they're doing.
Dylan Flores
tell me about the ragnaros builds
Owen Hughes
Thrall with earthquake and rehgar with bloodlust is pretty op right now. I wonder how they would buff stimdrone to make it competitive with bloodlust
Camden Williams
>stim drone now only give 50% attack speed and 12% movement speed >it no longer have a CD or duration, just drain mana from morales
Jason Flores
Amazon has a skin, which means she'd have to at least look different. There's some potential there, they could make her trait switch between melee and ranged kind of like Greymane.
Assassin has a lot of possibilities, because she could be a shadow summoner, a trap placer, an elemental melee martial artist, and fling ranged blades at people. There's a lot of completely different takes on her you could use.
Sorceress is kind of covered by Li-Ming, but this version of that archetype could be done differently. She could be a lot more benevolent and humble, someone who knows she doesn't know everything about the mysteries of magic. She could be a close range mobile aoe caster throwing sprays of frost shards (a shitty version of frozen orb), planting fire hydras like turrets, zapping for damage based on max hp with static field.
Carson Ward
>lava wave is sent >thrall earthquakes while everyone is in the middle >can't get out of lane >kills 3 people stuck in earthquake
Thrall is really strong now because of how good earthquake is with rag and rehgar
Camden Anderson
So I'm still somewhat new to the game, I have some characters that I literally can't manage to lose the game with regardless of the dumb shit my team picks, and then I have characters that should fit into a team comp but EVERY time I pick it my team seems to go full retard.
Does stitches suck THAT badly? I can hit about 80% of what I throw and every time I pick it I get a pair of usually Illidan/varian that dive into shit 2v5 before I can help anyone with anything.
I don't pick him as a solo tank and I usually pick him with multiple stuns on my team. It's so frustrating, should I just not play it until my mmr is higher?
Xavier Miller
what tanks should i get
Jose Wood
Sgt. Hammer, Leoric and Johanna.
Nathaniel Wilson
etc, mura and johanna dunno about the reworked ones but those 3 are the holy trinity of tanking
Nolan Taylor
>playing placement matches >91 estimated wait time >waiting for 500 seconds
Explain
Tyler White
I stole this from reddit.
Evan Wood
In terms of the overall metagame, what is the ranking order of ranged assassins from best to worst?
Elijah Young
>no WoW rogue hero >Genn
Wyatt Barnes
I am sad that abathur has an hard counter now
Jason Wood
And it's not even a specialist
Parker Peterson
tell it to every single ragnaros i've played with all the did was splitpushing all game long
James Cox
...
Charles Harris
What is the point of Alarak?
If you're gonna play a melee assassin, why not just play Thrall or Kerrigan who does the same thing but a lot better?
Liam Rodriguez
alarak is edgy tho
Dominic Gomez
>land 4 person ring >3 really clumped up >no mana for blizzard no pls my dreams
Oliver Wilson
Why even play Jaina anyways?
Brody Hall
There are like 3 viable mages in this game.
Dylan Carter
is tyrael good
i don't like a lot of these heroes but i need 14 of them
Jayden Cooper
He's a good off-meta pick, especially if you encounter a lot of heroes like Butcher you can cuck with Sanct.
Robert Phillips
Any word on Auriel getting fixed? Her knock-back is incredibly buggy, inconsistent and unreliable. Sometimes you can whip someone and have them slide along an object and sometimes they'll be stunned, sometimes not. You can whip them on a rounded object and sometimes they'll be stunned, sometimes not. And sometimes you can whip an enemy and an ally will block their knock-back.
Jaxon Walker
*Sanct/Holy Ground
Lincoln Taylor
I want to fix Auriel with my unholy cock!
Caleb Collins
tyreal is only good in expert hands due to holy ground and sancti in a sub 3k MMR team your teammates wont be able to take advantage of your spells and he will be a liability even if you are good with him, imho
Robert Roberts
Jaina is really good, just a lot of people suck at her. Crazy how many terrible jainas there are out there
Adrian Perry
jaina died to hero power creep
Ian Young
START RUNNING
Christopher Foster
can you redo talents in game
Austin Moore
nop hero whose trait allows him to switch talents after not having been hit for a while when
Ryder Thomas
are there bans or something in ranked
why do i need 14 heroes
Adrian Harris
>Slut
A draenei.
Lincoln Morgan
>are there bans or something in ranked yes
>why do i need 14 heroes so that you can actually pick at least a single hero if you're the very last guy to pick one and every other hero you own has been banned or picked
Chase Myers
4 bans and 10 picks = 14 heroes
Nicholas Wilson
>be me >historically absolute shit at melee assassin/bruiser >pick Ragnaros in ranked anyways >contribute absolutely nothing to teamfights >just D on structures when they are close and R lanes on cooldown >die the most times on both teams >also have the highest hero damage, siege damage and xp on both teams >we win
This hero is absolute bullshit, not because of his high damage per se but because he's so fucking easy to play. His heroic is completely brainless. There are very few situations in which the correct choice isn't to just use it on CD on the lane most pushed by the opponent. It might not be optimal but it's never wasted. At least I suppose he's kinda fragile in teamfight, he shits out a ton of AoE damage but dies isntantly when focused (compare to Dehaka, Sonya, Thrall). Still this is probably the lowest skill floor hero in the game.
Colton Sanchez
do everyone a favor dont fucking do ranked before at least reaching the lv 40 and get used to play all your damn roster why do people want to rush into the fucking ranked and be the retarded who will inevitably bring the whole team down
Logan Roberts
>spider map >both teams have rag >my team is losing all team fights >usually only get one or two from their team >takes 35 minutes to lose because rags ulti is too fucking good Let me guess, no nerfs until next year because they are all on vacation?
Thomas Thompson
uther is fucking shit why did i get him
Landon Torres
THE LIGHT ABANDONS SNOWMAN xD
Aaron Hernandez
>uther >shit
Cooper Bennett
uther is alright you just need to learn to play around his high mana costs and burst heals
Michael Murphy
>this hero is okay if you look past all his crippling flaws really made me think
Gabriel Cruz
What have the latest leaks been? I haven't played in a while and missed them.
David Fisher
I feel that these days you can't "play around it" anymore. His kit just demands too many resources in form of time and mana to achieve similar effects than other supports.
Multiclass tank heal rework please.
James Allen
Classes were a mistake and multiclass was two mistakes in a single hero.
Parker Reed
>he's ok if he isn't shit
Charles James
They nerf new heroes two weeks after release, do somerthing else meanwhile or ban him
Landon Hernandez
>I can't read
Xavier Gutierrez
Agreed. I'm starting to realise that classes are pointless and only create some filler and issues.
John Brooks
Which sluts are missing in HotS?
Ayden Turner
ur mom
Aaron Cox
valeera, yrel, liadrin, whitemane, alextrasza
Angel Sanders
Except everyone at Blizzard goes on a vacation for christmas and new years so we are probably stuck with this rag for a month
Hunter Moore
they're doing a hots tournament at a place nearby should i go there and show them how bronze i am?
Easton King
Is there some reward for getting a hero to level 20?
Jack Torres
successful autism diagnosis also 2000 gold
Adam Adams
Can we get the new hero already? Ragnaros and Varyan are some of the worst most BORING announcements since the game started. Literally trash.
How old are you? Would you stand out in the group of 14yo's?
Adam Reyes
you get bumped to hero level 50 when they change the system next year
Wyatt Thompson
>Varyan >with a y Stand still.
Asher Peterson
pretty shit "cutscene" then again it was a while ago
Brandon Russell
Lich Queen Jaina skin when
James Flores

Jose Rivera
With the release of demon hunter tyrande

Carter Lopez
9 out of my 10 favorite female streamers in HotS are in Silver, Jesus Christ. Only Gela knows how to play this goddamn game.
Noah White

Kevin Ortiz
So I just came back from 17 days of surgery/recovery, bought Rag immediately because I felt the need to spend money on something and cannot yet safely leave my house
Am I correct in thinking that just building around his Q and the regen skill at 4 with Lava wave is the way to go with him?
