Heroes of the Storm General - /hotsg/

...

rag is a good hero

zuljin was a weak hero with shitty ultimates even before the nerf

Futanari Sonya skin when?
Diablo 1 Warrior when?
Baron Rivendare when?

>still have Rag in every fucking game though
Because he's good.

what's the lowest league where i can find good players?

Diablo Female skin when

Never (sadly)
Never
Maybe

masters

Consistently? Diamond I or II, at least that's around where it was last season.

He already did.

Gold, but it's very rare.
Plat: people have decent mechanics with their heroes, but can't draft for shit and no map-awareness.
Diamond: Same shit but people somewhat play together as a team.
Master: Somewhat decent players.
Grandmaster: Handfull of good players.

Who would voice? That one lady who who voices every female that isn't human or brightwing?

Is building Zul'jin around his Twin Cleave viable, or should you always go for AA bonuses?

Literally do not care. Haven't played D3 in years, I just want the skin.

always AA
but it's still shit

Gold.

I've been fucking around playing HL with a QM mentality and noticed that there's some extreme mouthbreathers in silver. Past that there's plenty of bad players in gold but not super retard stronk-tier.

W+Guillotine build is viable.

>Stitches is bad

I wish he had better talents though. He has only one build that actually makes him effective and all the rest are trash

You guys are right but at least it was available all the time.

Whats the build, nerd.

Thats some epic programming there Blizzard.

What build is that? I haven't touched him in a few months but use to play him all the time as

youtube.com/watch?v=FJZsU2kAkfE

build.

Can pretty much ignore him more then Johanna.

I know one or two guys that should be in Diamond but were sent to gold 1 because of this trash matchmaking. They are plat 3 right now and going for diamond.
Same for me. This trash matchmaking put me in plat 5 and I manage to reach diamond 1. For some reason I was sent from Dia 3 to plat 4 for the season 3.
Platinum is annoying as hell, it's hard to reach diamond because of all the trash there is.

Hopefully never, you'll have to find some other way to fish for upvotes, buddy.

Dampen magic if the other team has burst assassins, heavy slam if not
Putrid ground
Tenderizer
Putrid bile is better than gorge because slowing their entire team for combos works better
Mega smash so that slam can hit everyone
Pulverize
Hardened shield

Why are people so fucking shit at

1) Soaking correctly
2) Clearing/pushing correctly
3) Mercing... at all?

How do I find people to play with

...

>Soaking
How does this?
I've seen the game commend me on "soaking" twice.

Just walk around in the middle of their team and do stupid amounts of aoe damage, right?

He's still pretty shit as a tank, honestly. There's literally nothing you can do to stop a Kerrigan from fucking your Valla, Morales or Jaina.

>reliably hit hooks on killable targets
>have follow-up cc

That's about all he's good for. Seems like he's still a beefcake aoe bruiser.

Yeah, and people in Platinum and Diamond still randomly push waves, advance forward in an open lane with no nearby structures only to get ganked.

>sry i was soaking

Because apparently "freezing" and "not pushing the wave" are advanced fucking tactics in this game.

>mercing

Literally noone know how to merc in this game.

>stitches autist
Fucking vorefag.

I want to fuck all of you.

>There's literally nothing you can do to stop a Kerrigan from fucking your Valla, Morales or Jaina.

The slows from bile and slam causes idiots who blindly jump your carries to have no back up. The slows stack meaning you can root half an enemy team and force then to focus you or try and walk through literal shit while your team can focus down whoever tried to jump ahead

FUCK IT TIME FOR HOT STICHES ON QM ACTION

PLACE YOUR BET NIGGIES

medievh will carry blue

Betting on the bigger pre-made unless you know how to land rescue hooks

But fucking WHY, is what I'm wondering.

Soaking is basically just the term for "being nearby when a minion dies to get the exp."

>bot game takes 30 minutes because of Lava Wave AI Rag killing split-pushes and the fact my group of retards cannot win a single fight and refuse to take boss

>30 minute bot game

>implying I browse reddit
I just want to know if I should expect anything from this game this year.

Anything above gold. The matchmaking is completely broken so good and bad players are spread all over the place and there is only so much you can carry as one player out of five

>all my quests for the past week have literally been "play as a warrior hero"

what did blizz mean by this

I wouldn't get your hopes up.

At least they're pumping out somewhat fresh new Heroes every few weeks. That's nice.

Funny, I've gotten either the 600 or 800 quest almost every day on my accounts.

Because a lot of the heroes can't do mercs solo so people won't even try it when they play a hero that can. Also, nobody ever comes to help you even if you type it in chat and ping the merc camp

>people unable to run away from a 10second telegraph

It wasn't Lava Wave's damage that was the problem.
It was the stalling depush value.

>make sure that heroes are well splitted on every lanes
>tank and healer should probably be together
>have someone that can solo lane in your team (zag, sylv, thrall, guldan...)
>if you roam, make sure you actually kill people or at least make as much xp as they do
>if no one is in a lane (because someone died or backed for mana), make sure people rotate to keep soaking xp
>if they have an extra talent soak till you catch up
>avoid fighting 4v5 unless you have an advantage (talent, they are low life, you are just poking the objective...)
>leave the objective, don't be afraid to have to def the boss / curse/ whatever in order to catch up the xp
>if lanes are pushed do a camp instead
>if all lanes are pushed & camps done prepare yourself for the objective
>if everything is done and objective won't appear before a long time, it means you got an extra talent and should gank / push

I have played on the account of a friend, and in silver / gold, the main problem is that people don't understand the soaking, and it's pretty hard to convince them that you shouldn't contest an objective and leave their team curse you to not feed more and catch up the xp, that you shouldn't fight 4v5, etc.

The worse is in the cursed hollow. Your team curse them, instead of pushing they want to do the boss. That's basically not using the curse and letting the enemies come back.

I probably forget one or two things, then there are map specific strategies

>At least they're pumping out somewhat fresh new Heroes every few weeks.
yeah but as a huge diablo fan I was disappointed by this year. 3 diablo heroes isn't much, and I think no one cared about auriel, even if she can be good and useful in game. Same goes for Zarya. I would have prefered anyone else from overwatch.

It's less that it kills players and more that it kills their means to push.

>silver and gold not soaking

Yeah, the people down there are, like, Bronze V players. They practically kill themselves.

Yeah, I don't even play Diablo but would like to see more Heroes from that universe.

>pls no overwatch for a while tho pls no d.va

>Do Brawl
>Enemy gets 4 naz
>Lose
What the fuck was blizzard thinking
Hes not even a mage, all he does is summon shit

Lost. We came back in the middle of the game, but Artanis and Nova wouldn't stop arguing the entire game.

Oh. Thank you so much.

>Artanis outdamaging Nova and Zul

Yeah, looks like you had the worst luck of teammates

>play unranked
>HotS makes my grafx card shit itself
>get Leaver's queue

fuck off blizzard

Taz'dingo needs to be able to be used while stunned. Shit is too easy to deal with.

Dehaka: Good or Bad?

Shit, he would've faded into obscurity long ago hadn't it been for his meme global.

After playing both him and Stiches alot, I will say he played liks a better Stiches and definitely a better playmaker. However being a "better" stiches isn't saying much, as he can easily be ignored in the same manner unless he does spin2win build.

The level 20 nerf on his global travel also made him shittier for his supposive global presence.

I severely doubt it's hots fault your graphics card is garbage or dying

Maievfags, what happens when we do get Maiev? Who's gonna be your next _______ WHEN?

WHENS MAHVEL?

Yrel
with horse-dick futa skin

This game is exceptionally bad around new hero releases.

>Play Brawl
>Pick Naz
>Get Superstition at 13
>Proceed to sit in enemy ults throwing spiders at them

He's hilariously overpowered in this.

Jaina stacking is pretty good too. The map is basically pick Nazeebo if you can, if you can't, take Jaina or Gul'dan

Anyone else and you are fucking up

Taz'dingo needs it's 20 to be it's 10

>Medivh is just able to fly around and never take damage because everyone's damage if tied to burst in the brawl
How could they make one so bad

I like the way you think.

>pick kt
>top hero, siege and xp contribution

Chromie is shit in this brawl

Taz'dingo doesn't work against anyone of competence, and Guillotine needs a damage buff and maybe a shorter landing time. Even with the level 1 ability power talent, it still can't fucking finish people off. It's ridiculous. I keep regretting taking Guillotine, but then when I take Taz'dingo I just feel like I don't get to even do anything but just run SOMETIMES, assuming someone didn't save a long ranged ability for when I come out of it.

Zul'jin is aweosme, I just... I honestly think his ults suck ass.

>tfw sniping tazdingod out zuljins all day long with chromie

I don't think we are going to see zj in tournaments because of that.

>decide to buy nova
>constantly tilting teammates and telling them to stfu when they ask me to do something

ebin

>What did he mean by this

Yeah, pretty much.

Taz'dingo: lol dude just stun him or walk away or blind lol ALTERNATIVELY lol dude just stun him and burst him itll be like he doesnt even have an ult

Guillotine: dude just like get healed lol

Because for real, by the time you're low and ready to throw out a heft ass Guillotine, the fight is pretty much over and your team got fucked, or you won the fight and you're just finishing someone off with it. Getting low to throw a Guillotine at the start of the fight is fine, but they'll just lol get healed, and now you're also low at the beginning of a fight, which more often than not is a big no-no.

did he dead

fuck yes! finally some warcraft assassins we didnt see one of those for a long time now

link it fag

>yet another WC ass
why am i not surprised

>WC ass

In more than one sense.

>Because for real, by the time you're low and ready to throw out a heft ass Guillotine, the fight is pretty much over and your team got fucked, or you won the fight and you're just finishing someone off with it.

Not to mention they can just cc you when you try to do that HEY GUYS HERE I'M USING MY R animation and that fucking delay ffs is like Chromie's W but you do half damage.

And it has 4x the cooldown.

Fucking sucks man. He's great otherwise, but fuck do these ults blow.

Wonder if her ass will outshine Tyrande and Ming. I'm not a waifu faggot but they did put some details into asses in this game, especially emphasizing nova's. She is a blood elf though, but didn't stop that comic artist from drawing her with pornstar proportions.

>She is a blood elf though
Belf have the biggest and roundest butts in wow.

>its real
oh no
