>literally dead edition

noob question:
Apparently abathur's locusts can soak exp. It does not say this anywhere except in places other people have asked about this. No wikis or official blizzard sites explicitly tell you this. What's up with that, that kind of information should be pretty important

Only if they kill.
Like every damaging skill in the game, if it kills a creep, it soaks XP.

Only if they last hit the minion, making it unreliable.

Something worth thinking about (sort of) is Azmodan's Q instantly clearing a wave from more than a lane away. Like, put your big body in mid on Tomb and Alt+R then Q top or bottom. D the one that's least likely to be contested for hella pressure.

what do her feet taste like??

Fuck this matchmaking

did they gave any hint about the next heroes like they did for li ming and xul (picture with necromancer dagger, etc.) ?

10,000 years in mspaint, sry for poor quality

Will he be the best husbando of this game?

Some nignog troll with axes

Hints as to who we'll be getting after Zul'jin? Nope.

>another warcraft assassin pls

if you enjoy cannibalism, voodoo magic and mojo aka. bottled troll sweat, he's all yours

>game starts
>raynor instantly disconnects
>jaina disconnects 3 minutes into the game
Atleast the enemy team had a decent push team so it ended in 10 minutes while I ran around the core with two bots after me

I hate you. I hate you all.

>no remake option

Whew. It'd probably lead to toxicity, which this game doesn't have. :-)

>arms 10x the size of the head

>top healer card as medivh

Release schecule for new heroes is as follows:

Dark Wanderer
Rakanishu
Valeera
D.Va

All things are possible in the Nexus

from leakchan Axototl months ago

Why would you lie?

>there's hope

>Dark Wanderer
>Rakanishu

Oh, those are two I haven't heard of.

Diablo?

who wins?

Dark Wanderer is Aidan. He's Leoric's son who becomes the host of Diablo at the end of 1 and the guy you are chasing in Diablo 2.

Seem like it, also
>Search Dark Wanderer on google
>First link is to a cuckold fetish site.

Beyblade Sonya.

>thrall and rehgar on the same team
was there any question?

Ahh, okay. Neat.

And that's why I asked.

My little heart hopes somehow Red pulls a victory.

>raynor thought he was going to have an enjoyable ranked experience

2 of the people on red are incapable of even fighting how did they think that was remotely an okay idea

>watching horsepants
>that fucking empty donation bar

lmao

Clue me in on Dark Wanderer. What will he play like.

>install HotS
>play placement matches
>uninstall
Holy fuck that Artanis rework is weird. See you in season 4.

He's good now, sorry you can't handle playing with the big boys.

>arms

rip

Gotta make some heroes OP so the retards can have a chance at winning too

Yes, it is an arm, user. Blind?

He'll wander around and leave demons in his wake. Struggle to stand and drop his sword while grabbing his head and get a bald old man to follow him around to narrate him.

His ult will be becoming Diablo who is already in the game.

>ponyfucker

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

Happy New Year, guys.

He's greentexting you because you said plural when Zul'jin at that point only had one arm. He cut it off to escape the Elves.

Welcome to Forest Trolls mothafuckaaaaaaaaaaa.

WE JACKED.

He's the warrior class from Diablo 1.

Yeah but if they call him the Dark Wanderer he'd be from Diablo 2 not Diablo 1.

Yeah but if they don't then I'd be right and you'd be wrong.

>dude takes plant on garden map
>smacks the building disabling plant in middle of the lane because we were fighting the enemy there

But would you use my body to get to the top? If so I couldn't stop no matter who you were.

happy new year, best user

The amount of people who dont know how to use that thing...
You just jump in and push for your life because thats all youre good for. Whats so hard to understand about that?

>"use it to defend"

>garden map
>enemy team has chogall
>I'm on tychus
>my team is so fucking retarded I stop playing 10 minutes in
Fuckheads didn't deserve a carry, if it was even possible

>still blames team despite being the sole reason you lost

big man, taught them a lesson for sure you did

>go defend
>pathetically lose fort
>"wtf l2p noob"

When your behind and they could win, yes you use it to defend.

I did it! I beat the 36 death meme!

>Jazz

I have a Jazz on my friend list as well. Wonder if it's the same person.

You probably made that Abathur pretty happy.

Doesn't this stuff get you banned now, though?

>tfw knew somebody in wow named jazz
>small world
>wonder if same person

>stukov
>varimathras
>baal
>vashj
I want this so bad. How dick at blizzard do You have to suck to get these added?

>implying the retards wouldn't have thrown the game even if I tried to win
I don't bother trying if nobody else is

Good, i can relate to that.

this is bullshit, where is Valeera?

From the latest axolotl leak we got a list of possible heroes (see boards.fireden.net/vg/search/username/Axolotl/)

Next heroes should be easy to predict.
>blizzard is celebrating Diablo 20th anniversary in january with events in every game and a brawl in hots
>latest heroes are from warcraft (4), overwatch and starcraft.
>latest hero from Diablo is auriel and befeore it was xul
so the choices are : Imperius, Baal, Deckard Cain, Belial, Ghom, Cydaea, Aidan
Malthael wasn't on the list but was leaked during the samuro patch.
Since we didn't get a lot of Diablo heroes, we can expect two Diablo heroes.

>deckard cain
Nope. They asked the community for ideas, they don't know how to create it in hots.
>Baal
Too good to be true
>Malthael
They probably started to try it, but I doubt it will be added soon.

>Aidan
>diablo warrior
>dark wanderer of diablo 2
He will be next, that's for sure. Now the question is more will it be a warrior or a dark wanderer (warrior or some kind of specialist)


The second one will be Ghom or Cydaea.

Did I finally tank my MMR in such a way that the enemy team is bad but my team is manageable?

Like, this is amazing. I haven't had a bad game in so long.

Valeera isn't on that list, that's from Axolotl's leaks months ago. An user (Don't know if it was Axolotl or another Blizzard employee, but somebody who frequents this place has some inside scoops) leaked what was going to be revealed at Blizzcon about 24 hours before Blizzcon happened this year, and he said he suspected Zul'jin and Valeera to be announced as well, but he specifically said he doesn't know for sure if they will, and he isn't sure about how finished Valeera is.

So considering he was confident she would be revealed, but wasn't sure how finished she is, suggests she's mostly done and playable.

How can a character so great come from a game so shitty?

what are u
casuel?

>tfw playing unranked draft and picking Abathur every game
>afk at keeps watching anime all game long

Damn, maybe I should buy Abathur.

>one person points out that you're actually AFK
>all three other players flame the shit out of them saying they're too bronze to understand how abathur works

People just spam pings on me all passive aggressive. It's almost like they don't know you can actually chat in this game

I know that pain

Depends on the time period, faggot. You think he was born with one arm? Noob.

>pick Sarge
>entire enemy team is made up of heroes that can rape me from off screen and/or chase me into hell to finish me off
>the second I show myself on the map they form a 5 man rape squad out for my head

every fucking time

>MVP as Medivh

Who will win?

This is unranked draft btw

I remember the user post and everything he said has happened except for Valeera, so I would say it's ok to assume she's next, except because it would be the 5th Warcraft hero in a row and that would piss people off.

That list seems weird though, I don't see them making Deckard Cain and I guess with Deathwing they are hitting a similar problem than they faced with Ragnaros about making him feel like a true boss. They also answered a question about Alleria and it didn't sound like she's coming anytime soon. Also Varian and a few others are missing

In that picture he's only showing one arm retard. I guess if your bronze at hots you might as well be bronze at everything else in life.

Hero league is fucking trash. I can't believe Blizzard gates rewards behind this garbage.

>Remake Zul'Aman
>Keep every fucking boss except Zul'jin
Fucking blizzard man, I swear. Here's hoping the inevitable Zandalari raid will have them rezzing every notable troll leader Thunder king style.

>every humanoid in every drawing/picture/image ever has to show both arms
lamoing

>Make your character look like Darth Vader
>Get John de Lancie to give him a sarcastic, but menacing voice

Making likable characters in a MOBA really isn't that hard.

>Doesn't recognize what it's based off of.

Based Bronzie.

Now in that picture it's obvious he's circumsized. The other one it isn't.

>he does it for free

>You can see the stump at the top of the picture.

Baited hard.

But sadly I need to explain to your bronze reading skills. They were talking about the size of the arm. Context, user. Learn it.

>user talking about size of arms
>you bring up irrelevant MUH LORE shit

No the first guy greentexted because the guy said arms, instead of arm. Then Bronzie came in and said you don't know what time period he's from in that picture.

Go be bronze somewhere else please.

>getting trolled this hard
is your new year's to try out Veeky Forums?

Oh god the Bronze is spreading.

...

>get called out
>spams bronze and reaction image
One of the most obvious signs of defeat.

Called out on what? Being right?

Trollgays are that delusional. Any critique over "m-muh husbando! ;_;" is just shit-post central--as the samefag above has proven over and over. I can't wait for Draeneifags to be in full-force later.

Dark Wanderer would be neat, but why would you do that? It's just Diablo in Aidan's body. It just seems really fucking weird to have two Diablos in the game.

Rakanishu I've been thinking about for a long time, I'd be so fucking happy to ahve Rakanishu in this game.

The only Rogue I want is Moroes, and D.Va is just whatever.
