>Which heroes should I buy?
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.

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

... confirmed? Neat. I'm excited. I do love me some melee assassins.

I bought the N'zoth Alarak. I don't like the voice change, but I love the look. Hopefully I'll get used to the voice.

He isn't melee. He's an axe thrower.

Zuljin will probably be ranged, he was an axe thrower.

>melee

Ehh.

D E L E T E

RELEASE ME ALREADY
HURRY, CURSE YOU

Never forget, Illi is a Joke.

Very boring outside of YOU ARE NOT PREPARED

JAINA

>create smurf
>totally dominate with jaina

icebolt is the shit

Kel'thuzad never
D2 Druid never
Edwin VanCleef never
Baal never (Being worked on, but still never)
Algalon never


But instead we'll be getting Deckard fucking Cain apparently. Which is still retarded beyond belief, to me.

LE STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN XD

>Not getting down to the Cain Rap.

I've never been more disappointed in you all.

youtube.com/watch?v=hMo6xzVjpaU

I love Deckard and all, but it's just that he's been turned into a meme of sorts. Shit gets old fast.

If there's any meme of him it's the fact he died from butterflies.

You forgot:
Defiler never
Duran never
Dragoon never
Hunter killer (as in hero not a summon) never
SCV never

>Stealing jokes from reddit

More like:
>Mengsk or Valerian
>Stukov
>Fenix or Aldaris
>Tosh
>Warfield or Duke
>Random Marauder/firebat
>Random protoss
>Random cerebrate or Duran

Well, they did record Alarak's lines for HotS probably at the same time they did him as a Co-Op commander in Starcraft. And Stukov got released for Co-Op too, soo maaaaaaybeeee...?

But Mengsk never ever

Meteor build will continue to be the best build for Ragnaros, won't it? Jesus christ, melee my ass.

It is better but fuck it I will keep playing q build.

Sad but true, Mengsk is too good for this game.

how often do you guys play this game and what do you do? I get about 2 hours every other day, ranked only

>It's a Morales in party with prot Varian and keeps stimming him instead of Illidan, Raynor or Iron Fist Khara game.

Both are good for different things and are both comparable and similar in usefulness.

Is diablo 3 pay to win? is it fun?

Diablo 3? It's pay to play, if that's what you mean. The Auction House was removed years ago. You just buy it and play it. I personally liked it, burnt myself out on it. You need Reaper of Souls to make it good though.

yeah I think I will wait until they release the necromancer.
Xul D3 necromancer skin when?

Not fucking before Classic Xul, that's when.

D3 Necro is a microtransaction. And he'll supposedly come out in around six months from now. And he has literally no D2/Xul swagger, he looks and sounds like a shitty teen Arthas ripoff

>play unranked
>play against grandmaster and two masters from previous season
>get a lvl 21 anubarak that cant do anything all game and gets raped to hell and back
Why does this garbage happen? This is a fucking waste of time

Anyone here want to play with me? I'm new and that 5 free heroes sounds really great

my btag is Aurene#21930

>doesn't tell us region
>doesn't tell us what server/gateway they play on
yea sure bro sent =)

Added on Zimbabwe.

>win 5 games in a row
>next game I'm in a team with 4 russians
>our team comp for cursed hallow: rexxar, azmodan, malfurion, dehaka, raynor
>picked in this order
>1 ban was missed on our side
>russian constantly being spoken in chat, ALL GAME LONG, even during teamfights
thanks Blizzard
I sure enjoy playing with russians
I guess I deserved it

Did I miss the bit in the patch notes that says silenced players are now more readly matched with other silenced players?
Games looked like this all night

>was playing last night at 3 am
>4 silenced players on my team
>no one on the enemy team is silenced
????????????????????????????

>buying anything for d3
lmao why
those shitters better be working on d4
they barely manage to save d3, it was delayed for 10 years so it looks like shit, Lineage 3 will be amazing

Russia needs to develop it's own internet. So they can go cyka blyat for themselves there.

It would solve 95% of all problems in the world. Even Syria would know peace.

Is Rag still op?

Was he ever?

No day passes without QMs making me lose faith in humanity.

According to everyone else, yes.

To reddit. Which are mostly bronze-gold.

Convincing.

Did you even have faith to begin with?

he never was.

the only thing that came close to being slightly OP, was his level 1 talent, that allowed him to change his W roll.

Ragnaros existence is a testament to how retarded the majority of the HOTS community is.

ragnaros was not OP, his split push due to the lava wave was (is ?)
the exp contribution is almost as good vikings' (the only difference is that TLV exp lead comes before lv10, ragnaros' midway between 10 and 20) while having no real drawback since he is also a pretty decent body in teamfights

>1 wave every 100 seconds (at best) is "almost as good" as TLV 24/7
No wonder why Rag' got nerfed. So much mis-information about him. Doesn't help that majority of players are clueless about him as well.

When will we be able to have more Favorite slots? I'm already maxed, and now there's no room for Zul'jin.

too bad I actually played agains and with some other ragns and at the end of the match they had 2 times the exp of every other charcters while they actually never did any solo splitpush
ofc I'm talking about QMs and unrankeds so I guess he doesnt have the same impact in a master HL/TL game but still he potentially can

Ask about it on rebbit. Play the sympathy card. You'll get lots of waifufags and "wow me too i want more fav slots! i never realised till someone else brought it up! upboated, good sir" etc

I know hating on reddit is Veeky Forums 101, but this is getting ridiculous.

Sorry fag, no (you)'s for you.

Getting real tired of this Dehaka is top tier/borderline OP meme.

DEHAKA OP LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

When will we see Valeeria? After Zul'jin right? According to the leak.

This is a FRIENDLY REMINDER:

Tracer, your waifu, will NEVER EVER love you because you have a penis. It is canon. Deal with it. DEAL WITH IT.

Also, you are the only constant, BRONZE. Etc.

Also, Maiev NEVER EVER.

>le only constant meme
Meh, I'm Master every season. What needs to be repeated more is how ranks mean very little.

>hero has 2 equally useable builds

CALL THE FUCKING COPS

Valeera is a bloodelf slave rogue and sexfriend of Varian.

Alleria is generic elven archer Nr. 2 with nothing notable about her.
Nr. 1 got turned into a banshee and makes the enemy team cry on BoE
Nr. 3 is taking Rhonin cock daily in Dalaran.

Tracer has a penis and so does her gf.

Tell that to the 'tards that think Rag' is OP which coincidentally only ever think of Lava Wave.

>belf
>rogue
Two of the worst things.

>Sulfuras Smash takes off 1/3 of your health AND stuns
>"hurr lava wave killed my minions ;-;"

shitters are ruining everything in this game.

Yeah but the same leak that had Varian, Rag, Nazeebo / Lunara / Muradin skins, and the mounts also had Zul'jin and Valeera. The leak was posted here a day before Blizzcon.

Speaking of this, what the fuck use is his E build for? Meteor and Sulfuras I get, but what about a Blast Wave build? It just seems like a lesser Q build, although the shield talent is great, it's too delayed.

An inbetween of Smash and Meatball. I personally went that at first for a while, it's solid. But Smash is my personal favourite.

The strange thing about it is that it feels almost as if you want to use it on others moreso than yourself, and there's that talent that increases it's damage by 100% when on yourself, and it just doesn't seem to mesh too well with the way you use it. I guess it's good synergy with the 16 E talent, but I dunno.

Shield, slow, two delayed AoE at double damage to heroes that also increase your waveclear and give 25% movement speed.
Great against mobile heroes or for diving backline.

Q is awesome if they have a frontline i.e. 2 tanks or melee assassins.

W punishes kiting hard and improves poke a lot.

Point was that all other abilities are good even untalented so you take blast talent to bring up to par.
Thing is those talents are also weak/not synergize and by going E you miss out on so much sweet Q/W shit that makes it imho not worth it.

>Tracer without her Chronal Accelerator on, the thing that she needs to have on forever or become a time ghost again

abilities

slow
mobility
berserking
troll regeneration

lol very unique hero blizzard!!!

mfw
>new muradin skin
>dont wanna be cucked into buying it
>cucked by a company that sold out to make lgbt characters
>already have master and magni muradin that i never use

Blizzard says she only needs to be near it, also wouldn't you think they'd be able to construct an appartment-wide version of it so she doesn't need to shower with the thing on - which, oh wait, they did that and you can see it on the same fucking page in the comic. Maybe pay attention to the lore before you shitpost.

Just wait for Blizzard Entertainment LLC's next hero release, a Warcraft assassin based on auto attacks!

I honestly wanted nothing else from a berserker axe throwing Troll.

Why is Towers of Doom such a garbage map.

probably because ur lower than plat, faggot. its one of the best maps in the game because u can come back from any situation

REINHARDT FUCKING WHEN

I WANNA BE A REAL KNIGHT (NOT SOME PAMPERED ROYAL FLOOZY LIKE VARIAN) AND SMASH SHITTERS AGAINST WALLS WITH NOTHING BUT MY OWN METAL ASS

BLIZZARD GIBE NOW

no reason to have reinhardt lol :)

fire strike = diablo W
charge = diablo Q
hammer down = apocalypse

>Earthshatter
>stuns all enemies in a cone in front of you after a 0.5 sec delay, needs line of sight but hits instantly

>Apocalypse
>casts a stun at the location of every hero that hits after 1.75 secs, can be walked out of to avoid

Mmmmyeah, yeah, no, the whole "whack-a-mole" styled fort structures just makes it tedious as fucking shit. Even when the game is normal length, it feels like fucking forever.

>LIKE VARIAN
nigga was a slave and a champion gladiator for a while

Is there a site that displays % win rates by hero and compares those stats to users by region?

Knight by definition are pampered royal floozies. Commoners can't be knights.

>team first bans tychus
>our first pick is fucking gazlowe
>enemy team instantly pick both diablo and dehaka
