Top tier
Your favorites

Shit tier
Everyone else

robogrub.com/tierlist

here you go buddy, from /hotsg/s favorite streamer

>range indicators still randomly broken

Has Xul's level 20 upgrade for skeleton mages always worked when he was dead?

it is just me or this patch have A LOT OF FUCKING BUGS?

the game will leave beta any day now right?

My enemies fort just exploded for no reason
it was at 50% health, I look away for 5 seconds and it sudddenly explodes.
They already cleared the minions, and no heroes were nearby but it just exploded.

Sure is fun having to GUESS where environment stuns and telegraphed AOEs are gonna land!

Take a wild fucking guess

how did they shit the bed so hard with this patch

holy shit

the worse thing about these bugs is that some of them may take months to repair ( like reghar bite)

>months
try half a year

diablo

What's the general opinion about valeera and how viable is she with the proper biuld you fucking cunts?

she's hard countered by BHC

>alt tabbing during map load breaks graphics

Like any other assassain you kike.

>Go into draft.

>Okay, they first picked Azmo, no one Valeera guys.

>Second picks for enemies are Avatar the Last Airbender and Lunara.

>Team on our side gets to last pick, need more aoe for shrines.

>They lock in Valeera and get cucked by the three above all game.


I fucking hate people who bring new characters into draft. Even worse when they hard counter pick themselves. Every time she was revealed their Zera just ate her alive and Mura jumped on her.

She was one of those 'but muh stealth assassin' fuck tards that try to kill people solo against the whole enemy team.

>Uhh my 5 sec cd bite doesn't properly path sometimes, it still works half a second later though
Meanwhile Go For Throat, an ultimate with huge CD and impact just doesn't deal damage sometimes.
Give support cucks a little finger and they take the whole hand. Blizz should never have buffed your hero.

I play Chromie and Ming. Bitch never gets to touch me. Try again, warcuck.

>assassin toddlers still butthurt that le edgy wolfman isn't meta

are you retarded

the cd is 4 seconds

sorry my wolf is better than yours ;)

>Greymane releases perfectly balanced
>gets nerfed because he counters Li-Ming and Kael'thas
>HAHAH YOU MAD
t. Dustin

why don't you cry some more :^)

>chromie standing in the back of enemy team
>never dies
>we still win every fight
I bet they thought their top damage actually meant anything.

>months
whoa easy there mr. optimism

>there's still no "Ready Check" for queues, especially ranked
>guy in charge of bans doesn't ban
>his ass doesn't get kicked from draft

:^)

Hey, he was fun to play.

>tfw wanna main butcher for how rad he is but people tell you that he's just shit

Go for it. He is, but that doesn't matter for a while.

Just sort of has that problem where he isn't as "versus all" as, say, Thrall, or Ragnaros.

butcher with finished quest is a fucking beast
in the last round i dominated the enemy team so fucking hard they were literally running away from me
i was picking up a warhead and i had 80% health, enemy butcher with 100% health popped out of a shadow, noticed me standing there with my glowing axe and my cool as fuck master skin and then immediately turned around and noped the fuck out of there
i saw enemy valeera run cloaked around me and never engage even when i was at like 40% health, pretty much everyone just ran away
it was hilarious, but made me feel kind of bad at massacring them
am i the only one? when the enemy team is getting completely steam rolled i always feel bad for them

>quickmatch

sorry son, it was diamond

>tfw you suck with a hero and then realize the most obvious thing ever and immediately improve
Who knew that being patient with Zeratul makes him better to play?

>haven't played since Legion launched
>miss playing Abathur for some reason
>fire up HOTS last night on my favorite worm
>mfw

This MVP thing is pretty neat - makes me want to play more

I am proud, fellow memeslug. Too bad he needs buffed. I've mained Abathur for ages, but with Ragnaros he's left behind.

With any assassin, patience makes them better.

>What's the general opinion about valeera
fragile

>if im diamond in quick match the opponents are gud i swear

yeah nah

diamond qm is silver/gold hero league

I think it's time to ask the real questions.

What's the tier list for all the heroes's joke lines?

>Almost every specialist is shit right now except for Sylvanas and Medivh

Why?

God Tier is Gul'dan and Alarak

Shit Tier is everyone else

Azmodan is so AzmoDONE with your bullshit.

Because assassins like Gul'dan are strictly better specialists for most levels.
Nazeebo would be good, but he requires your team to be good enough to make up for the fact you are shit until level 20.

>Leoric in shit tier
Them be fighting words son

>backdooring was too fun so we're nerfing it

>play HL on smurf
>win
>HL records wiped, reset to placements

>Play Valeera
>Get MVP

SO WHO IS THIS "DARKNESS" ANYWAYS?

>vulture smurf placements
>first games are with/against literal bronze/silver players

Azmo,Hammer, xul and maybe gaz are great
Especially hammer

Sort of surprised they're as unpopular as they are, desu.

Is "focus morales" a really bad meme?

i though the worst meme was " dont focus the tank"

Hammer is a nightmare if your team builds around her. Give her a Morales, beefy frontliners and shit, you'll never touch her.

Hammer is a noob trap free kill hero and noobs have learned to avoid playing her. I for one am glad for this.

>noob trap

Li-Ming, you mean.

>both good in competitive

for some time i take archon only just to hear that laughter more

>My team is a random collection of characters
>Their team is a 5 man premade running a meta tier 1 team
xD

>lego and doto friends wanna try hots cos nexus thing
>5-stack up quick match with the voice chat
>they've never played the game before
>only lose like 2-3 times
>get like fifty shitty whispers

it was a pretty comfy time

>there are other modes other than qm but I'm too dumb to use them so I'll just complain
xD

>when based kinkbug carries you
>when you use your ult and become an unstoppable machine of death destroying their backline while literally being unkillable to all their meme ability dmg
>when you hit so much with e you can use it right away again and do even more massive damage

>Event is 20 days long
>You have to complete Rooster run 25 times
>Rooster spawns randomly

What a great event

>Go to hero league
>5 games in a row someone on my team picks Abathur
>Lose
haha love this meme

ban abathur

But what if an opponent was going to pick Abathur

and they didn't even buff anub ;_;

let them pick a non-abathur and defeat them with superior gameplay abilities

>when you're banning
>when you're in a game with pros
I just want nice comfy games on my skilllevel where I'm not the highest mmr

...

monks are not for sexual

>Our Muardin goes damage build without the q talent at 1 and without Give Em the Axe at 16.

What's the point of the fucking damage build then?

why did you reply to me??

Next hero is Stukov!

>playing against good heroes isnt fun

?????????????

>Screencap of some zerg
>Stukov confirmed!
??

How is he those small balls on the grass?

Qt female monk when

>Going for Give Em the Axe when you can go for Heavy Impact

Those are infested marine eggs. If anyone gets infested terrans, it's gonna be Stukov. Unless they'll make a random infestor unit a hero.

>qm
>fun
If you want fun play high level hl or tl

>when you and an enemy both save your ulti to see what the other one pĂ­cks
>when they panic and pick one during a teamfight and you can counter it

While I'm not complaining about it, I love them all, why does literally every single moba have a bulky beetle chatacter?

We got a Qt female Crusader instead

Unlikely, if they de-ananomize, a zerg unit like they did for terrain via hammer and morals, it would be either a hydralisk, an ultralisk, or a joke unit like Zergrinch

Exactly.

Stukov it is then!

Because DOTA had it, and DOTA had it because Warcraft 3 had it.

Honestly each Diablo class character should just have selectable sex like in the game

>marine eggs
what?

So it's like... design inbreeding? At least it's a design I like seeing, though my personal fave of the beetles is actually Kehpri

Ingestation cocoons, which looks just like zerg eggs often, stukov in co-op uses infested terrain buildings which spit out ingested eggs when training units

I mean how does that work

>zerg catch terran
>zerg paralyse terran
>cover terran in slime
>slime harden, become egg
>terran mutate inside
>burst out infested zombie terran

ok then it makes sense, they aren't actually born from an egg

What like in universe? Presumably ly the infested structures are full of captive terrains, and when commanded to train the units they start the infestation process which causes their infected structures to hawk out the cocoon which then hatches into whatever he needed, stukov os very much on the anti-hero spectrum, presumably he's mostly infesting bad guys

it's banelings you nerd
