Play all the heroes on free rotation or try mode and see who you like. Don't buy heroes just to get into ranked, you'll regret it.

Post your hero without posting your hero.

Kharazhim? Illidan?

I don't know why that didn't come to mind. Every other time I check 34 and it usually works. Cheers.

Gonna warn you, this image can be shocking the first time you see it.

"personal" rank adjustment

only constant =) your rank says everything about you as a player!

>Those fucking guys in QM who go apeshit on people and say shit like "i bet youre unranked fucking noob"

God I wish I were that ignorant.

>tfw people think losing because nobody pays attention to the objective is fun

Back in my day we didn't have no fancy dancy stim packs, er them first win a tha day, and no friends for them cheap ass bonuses.
We grinded by muting team and soloing bot.

Greymane after the armor buff.

>Fun means losing.

Hey uncle!

Am I correct in thinking people with a numbered rank like #25 are highly ranked?

Yes

In development video soon?

I hope theres more than just Valeera being shown.

Warcraft assassin
Warcraft support
Valla skin
Nova skin

Why Valla skin? She literally just got one?

I dont believe you

You'll never guess it.

why would there be an in development video today?

Hero reveal. Every one has been followed by an in dev showing the new hero (s) and upcoming non hero content like skins and mounts.

Always has been.

I want to fuck that Shima

a hero hasn't been revealed yet though, only teased

I mean thats the point of the indev. To reveal what they teased.

Time to kill yourself you disgusting furry

I didnt ask for this

>15mb patch
What was it?

Fixed the searing light bug
Fixed the bug that let Lunara reveal heroes longer than 4 seconds
Fixed the audio shit that made lil' Ragnaros skin use normal voice when you select him in draft

How to talent rag and zuljin?
I just need something to level them up with

Pick all the talents that have the same icon you brainless shit, how hard can it be?

Rag is semi diverse.
Don't bother with blast wave talents, either go straight q or straight w depending on enemy comp.
At 4 you take spell block if they have things like chromie and li-ming or catching fire any other time.
At 13 you normally grab q unless the enemy team has something like Diablo and 1-2 other stun abilities, the Resilient is super helpful.
For ult lava wave is almost never not bad on large maps and Braxis, his other ult is damn good any time you know how to land it too.

Zul'jin isn't as easy.
If you're solo queueing him then w is the way to go most of the time since you won't have any proepr tanks or healers, but his aa build gets way more results, especially since Guillotine is amazingly hard to do anything with.

>Guillotine
>Hard
More like fucking worthless.

That too.
The range to area ratio doesn't mesh well with the cast time, not to mention the 20 upgrade can't be pointed in another direction. It would be a lot better if the range was increased to make it easier to catch heroes that try to run away from a fight.
I've had some decent guillotines, you just have to toss it out like it's another ability instead of holding on to it.

Why do I play this shitty game?
I have over 4k matches and endless hours, thank god i've only spent about $60 real cash on it, but I havent even touched my backlong on my PC or PS4 because of this bullshit ass fucking moba. So many single player experiences being left to the wayside. Why this game.

>see people with 4000 games
>in gold
I don't know what goes through their heads.

Lucio
DVa
Malthael
Garrosh

>Brightwing
>boring design
>Not!Reaper
>Not!Darius

>Warcraft support
>support

surely you meant another assassin, right?

Rag is so OP

Velen support

we need some Draenei ass up in this biatch

>wanting wrinkly old Velen
>not goat waifu

you mean shadow priest Velen right? so he can be an assassin

nice try Kil'jaeden

non assassins are not allowed in this game

Is THIS game even alive? Last time i played was around sylvanas release and i wanna come back. What has changed? Why queues are so long

>Is THIS game even alive?
kinda, it used to be a lot dead'er

>Last time i played was around sylvanas release and i wanna come back.
sheesh

>What has changed?
a bit, not much in terms of maps, mostly in terms of small details and shit

>Why queues are so long
le ded gaem

New maps, new heroes, lots of new

Queues take a long time because of a lot of reasons, mainly because the population isn't huge and people like to play the same shit and Nova and bullshit that makes matchmaking hell.

Its either wait for a semidecent match or wait 9 second and get put on the abathur, murky, nova team.

Stop playing quick match, faggot.

Faster than Meme League tbqh.

Ranked Draft >>>>>>Unranked Draft >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> shit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> shaving testicles with rabid badger >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>QM

>Wanting Goat Mary Sue in this game

Pretty sure QM has always been the fastest. Why are you so upset?

Always had faster queues with unranked than QM.
And I'm not upset. Just telling your idiot ass to stop whining about composition when there's a better way to determine proper composition.
Faggot.

hell
it's about damn time

I'm not even that user complaining about Nova and shit. People like you disappoint this website.

Why are the people playing this complete retards?
It's VERY rare to see anyone good

Horrid match-making. MMR and rank doing next to nothing. G/M getting put with and/or bronze all of the time. One bad player has a larger impact than one good player. Since it is an inherently simple and easy game, players don't feel the urge to get good, try or care. Coupled with the 'gamer' mentality these days to be the largest asshole possible, you'll mostly see negativity.

MMR gap is huge and exploitable.

Anyone worth anything as already smurfed an account past diamond and everyone else who is shit remains below that.

Also the fact that this game is fairly complicated in terms of mechanical play that most people simply dont get it.

>Also the fact that this game is fairly complicated in terms of mechanical play that most people simply dont get it.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

...

Alarak.

Prove me wrong

>get tlv
>tell him to go level in AI games
>says he is pro tlv
>gets a pissyfit for being called shit when he is dying all over the place
>feeds for the rest of the game
>also guldan was afk and got disconnected at the beginning
Concede vote when?

Prove them wrong.

...

>keep getting matched with Kharazims who take Insight and then suck ass
>ask why everyone is taking it now
>"fucking idiot it was always the best"
>lol wut, no it wasn't
>"well it didn't used to be but it is now"
really makes me think

...

bingo

dekaka

Why does reporting someone for abusive chat block them?

Nope

I shudder to think what the Master skin will look like if she already has crazy-pauldrons.

I won't mind Valeera if her trailer is a music video for Rogues Do It From Behind

oh wait
>hero trailers
rip

I'd do her from behind.

>team captain lets enemy team first pick xul on BHB
>gets pissy when we start losing, and then start losing BECAUSE we're losing

gee
I wonder

>people can block messages from people not on their friends list
>still can message people not on their friends list
What is the logic behind this?

>let's enemy team first pick Xul
Xul if fine but he gets shut down even harder than sylv during teamfights.
If your team didn't get any cc and wave clear it was all on you.

but would you wear Bloodfang Leather?
Bonescythe and Netherblade?

fuck man i don't know fuck

It's gonna be some shitty pandaria leather

>get a 4man premade in my team
>tyrande solo heal
>enemy has TLV
>they ignore the fact that 4 players from enemy team are pushing one lane
>lose first fort in 3 minutes
>they didnt even have sylvanas
Retard removal when?

What's with the sudden whineposting?
You're almost guaranteed to get a noticeably bad team every 10 games, and a similar rate of exceedingly easy games where you completely stomp the enemy team and probably feel like jizzing yourself because they let you finish flamestrike quest in 2 minutes.

Just play heroes you enjoy playing, if you want to minimize risk of being unable to engage due to team not having presence then play things like valla or a good warrior or pusher and keep an eye on the minimap.
Or you could mindless walk into things and come here and ask why there isn't a /concede yet.

what team fights? he just soaked the top 2 lanes all match

>What's with the sudden whineposting?

have you ever actually been to this general before?

TIL websites have feelings and can get dissapointed

TIL you're incredibly autistic.
