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.

Never been so hyped

Lunar Ming's neck is too long and the skin tone of her face and neck do not flow together well

>not even BIG LUNAR COCK edition

Shit OP

>still no Night Elf Mohawk hero

THIS.

>Your second most played hero must marry you

How screwed are you?

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

>Chromie
>mfw

Unimpressive.

>Valeera Assface
>mfw

>you now realize that Valeera's portrait will be next to Valla's

...

her face looks good what are you talking about

>First Zeratul and now Valeera.

>Gazlowe

well, at least I'll have money

...

He's trying to force a meme.

kael must have a nice boipucci

Vanish silences from the front, stuns from the back in first hit out of cloak.

Balanced?

Depends on the cooldown of Vanish.

3 seconds

Then no. It's broken as fuck. A silence every 3 seconds would be bullshit.

>Sylvanas
Does that make a necrophile

Lore wise Sylvanas possessed the body of a living ranger so no.

I will now proceed to draw ValleraXValla.
Will post results.

bullshit

You're a fucking saint user.

no u

Sounds like something Blizzard would do, doesn't it

So wait she's just using that body as a vessel?

You better draw good

>7 abilities
>every single one of them is *stab something*
>people actually claim certain characters won't have enough abilities to become a hero

nigga what? deckard cain can throw the cube at you, it won't be any dumber than what we're already getting.

alarak will abuse me

She was a ghost when Arthas killed her and she eventually use her poss skill on a living ranger BUT she already died twice and her valakyrs rezzed her ass.

No. Arthas kept her dead body to mock her, and she eventually repossessed it.

No.

Yes.

>decard cain throws two allied heroes into his cube
>comes out as cho'gall like hero
>lasts for 30 seconds
>if you throw cho'gall with someone inside it you get 3 headed cow king

yes

>only two spots left on the character select screen (for AI/QM at least)
>1 spot when Valeera releases
Are we nearing the end, lads?

>cheap shot
>smoke bomb
>garrote

I'm down.

>sinister strike
>blade flurry

Ehh.

Sinister strike is a gap closer how can you not like it?

Next hero confirmed to be some type of death reaper to finally kill off this game

No, they used to have two arrows at the top of the screen that were void because they weren't being used. Guess what they for?

>Not Mutilate

Mixed feelers. She looks neat, though. Surprised there wasn't a Shadowstep, unless I missed it.

No. They've added like 40 slots since launch and they said they had hundreds of heroes on the drawing board. If theres one thing this game has going for it, there will always and forever be heroes to be added in.

They could rename it mutilate and it would be the same thing.

Her master skin covers up her fucking face.
Get another demonman skin instead of giving her a bloodfang skin. ree desu

>HEROES of the storm
>Game has villains

???? BLIZZARD PLS ????

We dont know her talents, but if shadow step was a talent it would be manditory.

Have we seen her talents yet? I imagine a lot of the rogue favorites are in there

the second color scheme is bloodfang and guess what user, bloodfang also cover your face.

>Zagara

Yes
YES

The second tint of her master skin is Bloodfang, user.

Looks like we'll be able to find out tomorrow.

Valeera looks amazing BUT it looks like we're never going to get Maiev.

FUCK YOU BLIZZARD

No matter what's said, Valeera's skill set is yet another disappointment® by Blizzard™

dashing through the poles

>we don't know what her kit is but it's bad

Disappointing doesn't necessarily mean bad.

I'd die if we got another Warcraft Assassin.

These tears are too beautiful.

It's 4 dagger maneuvers, one of them being severely mislabeled.

monkey king samuro looks seriously fucking sick

Cho'Gall?
Is that even legal in most states?
She looks like a sloppy seconds mix of Tracer and Jerrytool.
Also what the hell possessed Bliz to make a Monkey King skin for Samuro?

>stun
>burst
>silence
>is bad because I don't like the animations :(
Sound like you're just a fag

>dota has monkey king
>league of legos has wukong
>hots no have monkey

>Dagger strike on Assassination Rogue was named Sinister Strike instead of Mutilate

Slightly upset.

The dark eldar tint for Valeera looks pretty good

>autistic wowfags triggered over nothing

I like Valeera even more now

>bitching because of the name

kek

HoN and Smite also has Monkey King
If anyone even remembers those things

>THE iconic rogue ability instead of a meme ability
youtu.be/kdEYVy6BF0w?t=2m16s

Hon mk is actually really fun

Yeah, I'd have been fine with either. Seems like Backstab is more likely to be a passive talent that either increases basic attack damage and/or Q.

>backing his claim by posting a meme song by a meme band

Backstab is a passive component of Vanish. Bonus damage and stun if hit from behind.

>yet another assasin
Could they maybe add some healers any time soon? Kinda getting tired of the current lineup

From what I understand they are reworking a bunch of supports so they are going with that for now. Like Uther might be getting a rework when Valeera comes out

Maybe in 3 weeks.

I've never seen people bitch this much about constant new shit before. New is new. Supports are obviously coming, just shut the fuck up about it already.

>Also what the hell possessed Bliz to make a Monkey King skin for Samuro?
>monkey king has illusions
>samuro has illusions
>orcs are niggers
>niggers are monkeys
>niggers WUZ KANGZ
Easy.

It's not new for people who don't want to play said hero, outside of having to deal with other people playing it

They removed them literally one patch ago.

>Jaina
Pretty good, it would just be better if it was tyrande in second instead of first most played

Nobody asked you. Its a new thing in a game you play. If you choose not to partake in the new thing, then that's your loss.

>choose not to partake
>costs real money or 15k gold or partake in

>have to play the game to play the game

Wtf is this bullshit Blizzard fucking jews

>Li Ming
oh yes sweet asian love

retconned in one of the shitty novels for 10 year olds?

just lost 2 games in a row because EPIC and balanced rehgar + thrall combo, the sad thing is the team trying to blame someone when the only one to blame is Blizzard and the guy who don't know how to ban

>ponyfucker

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

if you call wc3 a shitty novel
yes

Who the fuck cares?

aren't you enjoying the new content? :^)

No that's what it's always been. She repossed her dead body. Where people are getting this other meme I have no idea.

If QM, then who cares.

If HL, your fault for not first banning one of those.

Oh I bet I know of at least one person, ponyfucker.

Is time to grow up user.

Wow this is a classic reddit post.

Wow this is a classic reddit post.

fuck off and kys

screencapped xD

I just started playing last night. Enjoying the game a lot, which I didn't expect because I usually can't stand MOBAs but whatever.

Only real question I have is what's up with the screen after the MVP announcement? I click an arrow under someone and it... it upvotes them? Is that what I'm doing?
