I'm going to marry Auriel

You can toss 2 heroes and add 2 heroes to the game
Who do you choose?

Murky and Samuro go out the fucking window.

Urzael and Xavius get added.

>playing on Blackheart's Bay, my favorite map
>got a nice bot to take over for Xul since he couldn't connect
>got two more nice bots to take the place of Zul'jin and Zarya after they left the game in frustration, which is very understandable
>had Gazlowe to keep me company for the next five minutes while the enemy team was taking a well deserved break
>eventually they came to destroy our core despite our peaceful protest, but that's ok

sometimes this game is really fun

It's another (You) trap.
Anyway, remove ETShit and Alarak.
Add a feral druid like Broll, and Maiev.

>toss Nova and Zeratul

don't even care who gets added after that, but a support and specialist would be preferable

>Toss

Li Li
Vikings

>Add

Tyrion/Liadrin as a ret paladin
Anduin

>Toss

Tracer
Samuro

>Add
Cydaea
Feral/Guardian Druid

me too

Toss Nova and Zeratul and remove stealth from Samuro
Add more meme heroes like Abathur/Murky/Cho'Gall

What if-
What if Valeera is a multi-class specialist/assassin and Broll comes out as a multi-class tank/assassin making the gladiator trio all multi-class?

I feel like a specialist/assassin won't happen since the line is already blurry as shit between those two roles for a few heroes already. Couldn't see a rogue being anything other than pure assassin anyway

Broll on the other hand would be good but after the shit that is Greymane i've lost hype for multi form heroes

>multi-class including specialist

lmao what

She could sabotage buildings which would fully warrant the specialist label.

>Sabotage buildings

The fuck do you mean by that?

>more structure shenanigans
>implying they'd put it on Valerra and not some protoss or goblin or something

>more shit that interacts with the structures in this game that might as well be made of cardboard

also the specialist label was a mistake

toss artanis and zagara
add Ghom and Cydaea

toss chromie (yup I said it) and nova

add kel thuzad and that vampire lady from icecrown citadel

But they get one shot by the core?
The core aoe also tends to hit all of them so two or three shots wipe them all out

>Toss

LiLi

Add:
Aya Blackpaw

...

By El'druins light!

Female Pandaren never.

Wait when did (You)s come back? Why were they gone for a day?

Reminder that only 28% of the cast are ladies.

Reminder that only 4.5 (Lunara is half an elf) of those 17 characters aren't a human or elf.

This is NOT ok.

I want some yous

I am officially a high rank god.

remove xul and tassadar for having nothing to do with the character they are based on.

add d2 necro and maeiv

Congrats, friend.

>her best skin and tint are default

I'll bet they regretted this.

What female non-human/elf lore figures are there to even draw from?

You have Yrel for female Draenei, Moira for Dwarves, and then I'm drawing a total blank on literally every other race.

Cyadea when
Maiev when
Azshara when
Vashj when
Andariel when
Amazon, Huntress and Sorceress when
Genderbent d3 heroes when
That one d3 witch that isn't Madga when

Moira when

Bloodquen Lana'thel when
Alexstrasza when
Ysera when

magatha grimtotem, vashj, the butterfly demon from diablo 3, onyxia

I'm pretty ok with this.

>Willingly wanting a sausage party

Why? I mean we just got Varian for fuck's sakes, nobody's favorite faction leader.

>mfw trying to tank

Onyxia when
Eredar twins when
Magatha Grimtotem when
Vereesa when
Selendis when
Vorazun when
Raszagal when
Rohana when
Izshaa when
Blood Raven when
FemDiablo when
Warlord Zaela when
Tyrant 'futanari' Velhari when
Felmyst when
Mother Sharaz when
Freya when
Twin consorts when

I'd rather have Varian than most of the people on this list.

Personally I'd rather see more females OC's based off of existing race archetypes (Troll Witch Doctors/Goblin Shredders/Tauren Spirit Walker) like Lunara than see like fucking Moira or whatever.

Valeera
Lucio
DVa
Malthael

>new bundle
>really want Desert Queen Zagara
>the rest is shit

???

Lucio would be so fucking boring in HOTS my god

At least give us Ana

Lucio would be boring as a HEAL SLUT.

Speed Boost all day.

>tfw only do my best as tank

...

>tfw you style on them with Tracer.

I stopped playing her after getting her to ten before they nerfed the hell out of her. She's still fun.

ez troll life
last pick muradin as 3d warrior instead of support, easy win as expected

jade serpent kick when

Why aren't you playing only Gazlowe and Azmodan? I ´feel robbed.

bcs its boring. also illiDAN. that malf in match history is a game where i played without ulti and talents. thinking of buying medivh rnow, idk what to troll with. gonna continue picking warrior when team needs support

...

>vulture accounts sitting between d1 and d4
>play whatever
>win without supports
>people in the depths of silver and gold blow up if they don't have some tournament comp

>gazmodan
god bless even if you aren't sticking to those two exclusively lmao

at least pick Zarya then

Don't let what happened to LightKnight happen to you.

Blackpaw got no skills

how long is nexus charger in the shop for? i still need 10k more gold..

It might go away on the 24th.

nigga Brightwing is already Lucio

man i want torbjorn in hots. at the very least as a legendary muradin skin (unlike widowshit, with torbjorn voice, molten core yelling during avatar and so on)

used to think he would be gazlowe v2, but they could actually make his turret a hero like rexxar's misha or one of the vikings, but static


Q - change basic attack type to like it's giant killer, close range
W - switch to hammer to fix/upgrade turret
E - throw pickable armor to target location, generates passively, collects from dead heroes
D - turret
R - +hp + attack speed + lvl 3 turret
R2 - idk, maybe let him have 2 turrets, but they obviously cant upgrade to lvl 3. or maybe he could be like alarak and take second ulti on 20


i actually main torb in overwatch, im cancer (gazmodan) but i got to master at least

he would also have funny dialogue wth muradin being pissed that muradin thinks he is one of the ironforge dwarves

and with lost vikings

and with gazlowe.. his nemesis

>ponyfucker

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

Medivh, not sure about the other so I'll just say Tracer, as she doesn't really add anything and only serves to make you regret picking something without mobility which is a drag in this game as it's becoming rampant.

Add, probably Baal and Moroes.

moroes is literally just an undead guy with a knife, are you fucking RETARDED?

He's the caretaker of Karazhan and will slit your fattened up jugular if you trespass, uninvited. His duty is all he has left now that he's a Forsaken.

I wish we were getting him instead of Valeera. Fuck.

>Preparations must be made, because the master is coming home

literally shaking from that line

How come all Undead feel the need to dress like a total spastic? Every time they're in tattered and torn clothing. I find it far better to be dressed well, especially fully covered up. For example my Undead character in WeW quickly had fully-closed armour.

>What's under that helmet?
>Oh shieeet a spookyton

delet Lunara, and Murky

Add Darion Mograine and Baron Rivendare.

>delet Murky

They already did, user.

I wish every Abathur that picks up Monstrosity would drop dead right now.

Fucking remove that ult already, holy fucking jesus.

>people wanting monstrosity to be viable
>people wanting bloodlust to be viable
>people wanting earthquake to be viable

mistakes were made

...

Yeah, we need more blue people, all we have are a bunch of greenskins.

It has its uses, but it's so unbelievably niche that most of the time when you're going down the 'should I take monstrosity' checklist you're going to hit something that makes UE better.

we need more shortstacks

>try rebbit because why not
>post anything that isn't massively circlejerky
>downdooted to oblivion

oh okay i see now

reddit isnt for discussion, its for news.

I'll catch shit for this but Genji and Hanzo would work decently well in Overwatch, their niches haven't really been filled.

That said, putting reflect in HotS would be fucking aids

Yeah, I didn't realize that at the time.

>Yasuo makes his way into the Nexus

pls no

yeah genji would be like an illidan - li-ming without sustain. hanzo idk his abilities kinda suck for moba, except the ulti

i wish blizzard did thematic multiple hero releases. like varian + garrosh, hanzo + genji and so on

Reddit is a disgusting place, in that it greatly promotes hivemind thinking, and is generally anti-individualism. While Veeky Forums is pretty hivemindey as well, the fact that every post is treated the exact same (Trip dipshits excluded) says more than enough.

The down/upvoting system is the center of it. Give people the power to determine whose post is and is not worth reading, and you'll hit the wall human beings are doomed to repeat, which is "I don't like this, therefor it should be gone, who is with me?" as opposed to treating everyone with equality as everyone BELIEVES they truly want (Which they don't.) and just being like "Well I don't agree with this dude at all but whatever, who am I to say his voice should never be heard.".

At least here, that shit isn't even an option. Instead, you just call the guy an asshole and move on with your life, as it should be.

Scatter Arrow - Bounces off walls, does more damage if it bounces before hitting people

Sonar Arrow - Reveals an area or a hero if you hit them with it

Dragonstrike is his ult obviously

They could maybe do something with wall climb and use it like Talon's new E in league or something. I think he'd work. The only other archer we have is that corpse-slut.

>Sonar Arrow - Reveals an area or a hero if you hit them with it
tyrande

>The only other archer we have is that corpse-slut
tyrande

The owl's a fuckin meme

That said you are right I totally forgot about her, but we don't have an archer ASSASSIN.

but hanzo is a defensive character so he would be a specialist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright listen here you little shit

They should just add Junkrat

I think everyone would be fine with that

Also it has been proven time and time again how manipulative, cheating (ignoring rules, bias etc) and out-right dishonest the mods and admins are all of the time. It's one thing for a shitty community, but for the mods and/or admins to be even worse is just recipe for a horrid website.

>Junkrat
>The first hero to manually aim his auto-attacks

>Gall

Also, what about Hanzo?

Do you guys play anything else similar to Heartstone?

Duelyst, MtG Online, etc.

Don't even fucking get me started on the mods. In the HotS subreddit, there was this post a while back about an all-female team being signed on with myInsanity or whatever the fuck, I don't give a shit about "E-sports" garbage.

So, I made this comment in that thread:

When asked what drove them to make the conscious decision to give the greenlight on an all-female team, mYinsanity simply replied:
"Because it's 2016."
A parade is scheduled to be held in mid August.

Lame ass, boring unoriginal joke, right? It was deleted. So when I asked the mod why it was deleted, their response was this:

"Your comment was removed because the joke implies that the 15/15 Canadian cabinet was bad and therefore an all female HotS team is too. It makes light of the situation when there are already comments in the thread about how women can't be competitive and some that state women can't play the game well at all."

Yeah, no. Fuck Reddit and those mods. You can't even make jokes if they're even SLIGHTLY jabby, even if it's all in good fun.

genji

q - increase basic attack speed and attacks 2 additional enemies but dmg is reduced
w - dash in straight line to target location, dealing dmg to all the enemies. resets on enemy deaths
e - deflect basic attacks (but they go back like skillshots) and abilities like valla Q, muradin stormbolt, jaina Q but not cone
r - ryu jin no ken wo kurau!!!!!11 resets w and gain basic attack damage
r2 - idk
d - cyber agility. 2 stacks of jump with cd so u gotta manage them. jump once to pass over terrain, jump second time to gain invulnerable. also can climb over terrain and it has separate cd

Wrong thread buddo.

And no since I no longer care for PvP in card games, but I like PvE, but they die quickly since it's just tutorial > tiny campaign. That's it.
