That feel you don't want to play ranked because you fear sucking ass and causing your team to lose.

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

Stop ripping on poor people, master skins aren't that bad once you get to know them.

Alarak nerf when?

when you git gud

Reminder that I'm going to Marry Auriel

In your opinion, who is the toughest character to learn?

Vikings buffs when?

Good luck with that user!

Probably Vikings, Zeratul, Alarak, Kerrigan, Tracer and Rexxar.

No particular order, although Vikings is probably the most difficult.


>difficult
>bad in meta
>low win rate

?

Fuck I meant Artanis.

Reminder that Alarak can outsustain Thrall in lane.

not if thrall realises all of his ablities heal instead of just spamming CL on alarak

theyre a 50-50 kinda matchup

Reminder that most "heroes" in this game are irrelevant nobodies

>Hey what if we made the brawl just quick match.

I just want my 1000 gold you assholes.

Like Valla, Sonya, Xul, Johanna, yes?

>he doesnt bot 3 brawls a week for that 1k

I usually just skip them. Like that shitty Christmas brawl. I thought this one would be brawling a little more but it's just tomb of the spider queen.

its actually tomb of the spider king nazeebo

Not for me because every Naz I've gotten goes toad build including the resilience on toads at 13.

Whats the current single best hero right now for climbing the ranks?

>Hop in after months
>Mexicans and Portugese everywhere
>Can't even talk in games without knowing Spanish

So much for this game ever making a comeback.

Christmas brawl was fun as fuck. I got an all-Kerrigan match too, real cool

the one you are best familiar with from these:
>diablo
>dehaka
>artanis
>malf
>rehg
>thrall
>ragnaros
>valla
>tychus

low and mid level hero league is about the player, not the hero

GNOMES

WHEN

real gnomes chromie doesn't count

maybe if your autistic ass would change your server settings to your region you'd get some englando.

I'm going to corrupt auriel

Wilfred Fizzlebang would be pretty fun. He could have some pretty sweet summon abilities. Maybe Jaraxus as an ult.

Is massive lag common in this game? I turned down all the graphics and sound quality and it worked fine but when I played a game of Towers of Doom the game shit the bed and I lagged into oblivion. My internet had nothing to do with it and I've played on Towers of Doom before

i swear this general makes me lose brain cells every time i enter it

Never, hopefully. The real question is more Goblins when?

fel chromie kinda looks like a goblin

Go to the Overwatch general. Now that is real hell
Gallywix would be cool too

I mean maybe we'll get Gallywix.

>Switch to Western US
>Mexicans

>Switch to Central US
>Brazilians because they want you to carry them

No win scenario.

what are you talking about, they are.
Heck, brightwing didnt even exist before Hots

I would love Wilfred as a gnome representative, but you know it'll be Geblin Mekkatorque and his boring genericness.

I also would like Thermaplugg, because an evil gnome would add some variety.

I literally can't name a single female goblin. But I want to hear that awful voice.

"SSSTOP DISSSTRACTING ME!"

sure there are a few examples but to say "most" is a total overstatement

>NA
>carry
pick one

>playing on weekends
only got yourself to blame

>it's another "let's fight and try to fight them for no reason"

Why people do this?

>I literally can't name a single female goblin. But I want to hear that awful voice.

I swear there was some rumor going around back in beta that they were gonna put Sappers in as female goblins, if only it were true

do you think Gallywix would be his own hero, or would they use his spider tank as some sort of shredder expy?

who cares bro the game is over

feels good

Aw, that's sweet.

God I hope they pull a Lunara and give us like an original Goblin Girl.

I mean there are tons of Goblin archetypes they could use for heroes, Shredders, Ogre-Riding Alchemists, Zeppelins, Sappers, give us SOMETHING here.

Should I buy Artanis to jump on the bandwagon?
Also how to Artanis?

guess what happened ?
>look at who's alive and the minimap
>read messages

>insight
>ally of life

kek

Oh yeah it's not replay you can't see who's dead and alive.

Anyway. Zagara was in a 2v1 bot lane, and diablo went bot to pay / help zagara a little bit since we were doing five top
Zagara went afk all the game and went into the nydus ranting all the game how diablo lost the game because he didn't let her solo push her lane while being 1v2. Diablo just played normally, went to do camps with thrall etc. but yeah he just stayed afk all the game.
And nothing will ever happen to this kind of people, they'll just keep playing and trolling people.

get your whole team to report him for non participation.
getting a dozen votes in a short time frame will get you flagged.
blizzard stopped being as lenient as before a few months ago when all that hate speech stuff went through media and politics.

>pick insight
>never runs out of mana during fights
>lower cd so you heal more often
What's wrong with insight ?

>Less than a quarter of the cast are women

Keep dreaming guys. There will never be non-Human/non-Elf women in this game.

>Zagara
>Chromie

>Lunara

>Diablo

warcraft assassin

...

How dare you

goblinfu hero when

heroes i want

Fenix or maybe talandar
mephisto
baal
a nathrezim
archimonde/jaeden
maar hybrid
stukov
karax so we have a protoss specialist

...

Holy shit, you can choose to not accept whispers from people who aren't on their friends list? Immediately turning this on.


I'll miss the rare shit talking, I just don't want people wanting to be friends with me just because I did good in a single game.

>no obligation to communicate in draft
>no obligation to communicate in game
>can mute allied chat
>can mute all incoming whispers
>we can't have all chat because it'd be too toxic

When the fuck are we just going to evolve into telepathy?

... So I can learn to shift my brain power around to block telekinetic messages from people who want to be my friend as well?

junkrat in hots when

too gay even for hots

I just want to telepathically stroke my cock's ego when he's feeling moody, damn.

Is Alarak good?

when you need to heal and your bronze 5. There is only one option. Is she broken? She feels broken

>starshit
>diablow

LOL FAT CHANCE

no

Very difficult. Only seems good against vulnerable/squish heroes.

He isn't really a tank shredder.

yes but only if you're a good player/good at playing him
in the hands of a retard he's worthless

She can't do shit if you nuke her

Who would you say is harder? Kerrigan or Alarak? I feel like Kerrigan mostly because her ults are shitty, whereas both of Alarak's have use.

Alarak, definitely.

>i

focus morales guys!!!

I dont think a lot of people realize that stunning her interrupts her beam

That artist spent 99% of his time studying sexual features of the body and 1% of his time on limbs.

You have great taste, i want those too, plus the other evils from diablo

Murky

women dont need limbs to function

What, brazilians play on the brazilian server

only gays care about limbs

>Switch to EU
>Ruki veer cyka blyat

I'm not complaining I'm just saying her arms look right fucked

the only parts of her getting fucked are drawn right. stop your autismo

she isn't getting fucked at all in that drawing

invisible dicks, user

Zarya

>kerrigan
>zeratul
>tracer

>tough

diving with blink and using recall is too hard for the average gold player in this sub

You know who a good literally who to add would be? Akama. What does he even do?

Kerrigan is pretty tough, but mostly only because she's fucking terrible
