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.

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

>medivh
What a cancer. I don't give a shit about his winrate. What a fucking cancer.

Mm, actually. I'm sort of glad they haven't made him more useful to low mmr players.

What's the best build for zag?
Pick some other specialist?

...

Yes, although I hope you aren't viewing "Specialist" as a role or position.

It's QM, so it doesn't matter

...

Protoss babe when?

He exists purely so pussy ass faggots that 4 and 5 stack in QM can cradle their buttbuddies' little balls for them, effectively making the fight against a full stack harder than it should be.

Bring Back Mass of Johan

It's very surprising to see how little r/34 there are of Protoss. Considering how well-known and old the franchise is.

>enemy 5man premade
>they get utterly stomped
>their only candidate in the after match voting screen gets 5 votes

>not voting the sole member of the enemy team in MVP screen ironically

>queue 5-stack
>we always +1 the guy who fed the hardest, failing that usually the support

Although occasionally somebody does make a sick play worthy of a hots updoot.

>Tired of fucking losing due to stupid shit
>Play Rag
>Win

Ragnaros makes everything better.

As I was reading that, I was matched against a 4 stack with one lonely extra guy and we stomped them.

I'm pretty sure they blamed the lonely guy, even though 2 of them were the shitters

Wow, for once Blizzard releases a stealth hero that isn't overpowered for months before they nerf it. I managed a few times to solo her as Sylvanas and still live.

They must actually be learning.

my name scoobi

She's shit mate. A stealthy that can't burst belongs in the trash. CC doesn't help at all, a 1.5s targeted stun and a 2s silence don't mean shit if she can't kill anything but a low health murky. And if you aren't stealthed, you still can't contribute to fights at all because that pseudo-Illidan shit is just baaaad.

Buffs fucking WHEN?
I think 40% more AA damage might help.

Hey /hotsg/ I stopped playing when Gul'Dan came out and I just reinstalled the game to test out Tassadar's new changes.
Now is it just me or is he still a useless piece of shit? His Force Wall was really fun to play with but other than that he deals zero damage and provides zero cc (some of which you have to talent to) other than Force Wall, he's easily outclassed by Auriel and Morales.
Or maybe i'm just talking out of my ass and I need to git gud?

>Enemy team sticks together like 5 siamese brothers with elmer fudds glue
>My team splits up to go 1v5, one takes camps and leaves because health's low, two soak, and one just hang around near core

Tahm Kench?

>tfw no tahm kench announcer pack

guess who

Jaina.

Gazlowe because THEY JUST WON'T STOP FUCKING HIM.

Lt. Morales

all wrong

>all wrong
That's where you're wrong. *unzips*

Reminder that if you play this faggot, you should probably look into potentially offing yourself.

Piece of shit shouldn't exist.

just stun him bronzie lmao

this

>see him picked in Diamond and below
>that team loses

Is there a hero/champ like this in Doto/League? He is obnoxious, but just never really seems to win. Unlike Tracer, Samuro, even Nova.

Tassadar needs some number adjustments.
He's definitely no solo support.
But all in all with D talents, he's a lot more fun to play for me.
Especially in this stealth shitter QM meta.

You have 30 seconds to explain why Murky is bad.
protip: you can't

He's good, but he's unable to survive with the current meta's damage.

there's no one in the Veeky Forums channel on eu.
Is it the same 25 shitposters circlejerking and making these 800 reply threads?
ded gaem?

Wanted to play QM with Alarak for fun, ran into a 5 stack.
Valeera
Zeratul
Medivh
Malfurion
Diablo

Fuck them, seriously. Shittiest game I ever played in QM. They weren't even good, the valeera and zeratul were fucking pathetic, but that ass faggot Medivh kept covering them by spamming protection after they blew their load too early.

This game isn't very popular among europeans. The EU Veeky Forums is mostly ~10 people who sometimes play quickmemes and unranked together.

Yep. He exist purely to completely ruin QM, so pussy ass bitches can run him in 4-5 stacks.

>People now crying unironically about Medivh
I'm on the fence between surprised and not surprised.

>QM
>enemy team is Valeera, Samuro, Dehaka, Li Ming and Valla
>playing as Li Ming
>mfw

Current QM meta is stealth no? Fucking easy to shit on people that way i guess.

Medivh has always been a piece of shit for one reason or another, and he's been out for a while, so it makes sense he isn't even talked about much in the slightest.

Don't be surprised, because shit is logical.

Quick Match was always full of stealth, though. Teammates can't ban your Nova/Zera away from you there. :3

always felt like he was busted when i started playing this game. he's my favorite second support

Placements are straight up cancer

>140k hero/seige damage on KT

team not grouping/ lose. nice game lolbabys

It's a lot more rampant now, the stealth shitters rejoice in having another stealthy to go fuck shit up with.
It very often happens that any team has two of Zera/Nova/Valeera/Samuro in any combination.

Fucking nice to play Tass right now, even if his numbers are subpar.

>can't burst

what fucking game are you playing m8?

Holy shit etc is a fucking joke. Before hitting anyone he should scream "tickle fight!" because that is all the damage he manages to do

Face it, she's shit. She needs a lot more damage to function properly. I paid 20 bucks for this shit and I get this? Fuck off, kid.

Shitter detected, stop playing le meme ambush build if u want to shit out actual damage.

>implying I don't know how to play her
Go apply yourself, I know the hero in and out.
She's shit and needs buffs badly.

Holy shit Auriel is fun as fuck to play.
I regret not getting her during the genji event fuck.

Auriel is brutal if you have ONE not retarded team member and has decent damage to boot.
Shame about those ults. Wish you could pick Fly at level 10 instead.

Yeah, yeah. But does she have lewds though?

OF COURSE YA NEED ME

Sure, just watch any bondage porn and pretend she's the ropes.

if you can't do 4000 damage in one second with valeera, you're shit.

Also
>Paying real money for heroes.

fucking kek

Seems worth it desu

Sorry, but I'm playing in the big league where you can't just walk up to backline. You need 7k+ damage to fuck their tank up instantly, or you're useless.
Fuck you for making me spell this out, fucking scrubs.

:thinking:

pls name anyone 1 hero that can do 7k damage instantly, kthxbye

How come so many people buy every gold-purchasable mount when they don't use them after a week or two of initially buying them? I know quite a few people that have all said mounts and don't use them most of the time--especially if there's a newer mount.

...

the only mount I ever used is the Hearthstone mount

He's not an assassin, he's a warrior with a lot of CC and shit. Can't have the best of both worlds.

...

Jesus christ, DEAD THREAD

Assuming Stukov really is next, what if he was Multiclass? Could see him working as Support/Specialist.

Multiclass is a meme that needs to erased, not expanded on

>Stukov
>Multiclass
No.
>Stukov
>Support
No.

Specialist.

...

AZMO'S LASER IS FUCKING OVERPOWERED. AM I THE ONLY ONE REALIZES THIS?

don't know but i also don't think it's possible both other games would have devs this shitty that just say "he's okay for competitive lol" and walk away.

you know a character is bad when people that don't play them ask for help.
but dude gm medivh and did you see those "pros" take chogall though xD

don't think many care all that much about more than a handful of characters. so any of those who bought a bunch with real money early on will end up with a bit of spare gold. it's just collecting or the mounts having limited fit.

Blizz here. Next hero is warcraft.

The entire franchise? Amazing.

*tips fedora*

Probably the most bait-like post in this thread thus far. Relish in that, user.

keep that warcraft coming. still should be over 500g/day since november even though i haven't had any "play 8 games" in a few weeks.

In all seriousness, what do you think the personification of the entire franchise would play like?

like a warcraft assasin

Fucking hell QM is a mess.
It's always a Samuro, Valeera and/or Nova/Zeratul.

Sounds like silver and I'm not even memeing.

QM is the place people go to play the guy they like, and usually its the heroes that aren't viable in ranked. Happens to be stealth heroes and shit heroes like Murky.

>QM
>silver

I don't even play ranked.

it would start off strong and then get better but decline sharply towards the late game
