They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

Post your hero without posting your hero

...

Ragnaros

5th for artanis should have never gotten the swap buff and instead should have had his talents and stats reworked with other QoL changes to his swap and dash

>free artanis week

see you guys next week

...

He still would have been garbage, just like how Butcher and Twin Blades Varian are garbage.

Twin Blades was good before the nerf.

...

>reworked talents
so nerf his most picked talents and give minor buffs to the worst ones so they're all mediocre?

...

No it wasn't, it was okay because Taunt was garbage and Collosal was really situational. Then they buffed Taunt and made it clearly the best. If they didn't touch Second Wind people would still take Taunt over Twin Blades every time because Twin Blades is really easy to deal with.

That's pretty much what they kept doing before they finally fully reworked him with the swap ability in mind.

...

>5 stack in QM
>They have a Medivh

Every single time. Medivh exists only for these stacking cocksuckers, I swear.

>tfw their valeera has master skin but yours doesn't
>tfw all there is left to do is pray they will steam roll us fast so i can enter some other match

best 1lvl talent for sylv? mercs or the haunting wave

>lunara spends entire match laning
>gets on MVP screen

remove

...

Cho'gall should get some kind of protection to %HP damage or armor or something.

I wish he was good or at least usable again. Such a fun hero to play.

Post your skin dreams/ideas

Legendary Varian skin that turns him into Garrosh

That still wouldn't fix how fucking retarded people are with him, and have no fucking idea how to play him.

Winter Kael, with thick fur cloak, ushanka hat and giant snowball for Pyroblast. Other spells would just be some cold blue winds

Pirate Captain Greymane

Any fucking thing for Chen; no new skin for 2 years already

Threadly remidner that if you 4 or 5 stack in QM, you have absolutely no balls, you bitch.

Kor'Kron Outrider Rexxar

Playing lili in ranked to not be a reportable offense.

She's just fun to play.

...

...

this image needs to be a meme.

...

rag
azmodan
kael
lunara
jaina
valla
master chief from halo

>inb4 grass hopper
its a locust u potato

To whoever posted , thanks for the build.

Being able to ignore my team and afk on minions and objectives really did help with sucking less in games.

Is Chromie's Timewalker's Pursuit quest(regen globes give mana regen, 5% ap on completion, plus 25 sec cd free vision) quest bugged? Number values aren't changing whatsoever in try mode when I finish the quest vs not having it

>a grass hopper
Lunara

samuro

>bear does his best to impress mates with staff tricks
>never gets laid because other bears were jealous he kept getting treats from the tourists who came to see him
That was a pretty depressing documentary.

I feel as though DoTs shouldn't reveal stealth. As Gul'dan it just feels cheap as fuck that I negate the entire core of their kit just by landing E by a sliver.

You're landing a skillshot and it's their fault for getting hit.

I literally keep getting the 8 games quest

Not that I am complaining, but this shit be crazy yo.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

GIVE ME THIS MOUNT

Nah, that's fine.

I've been wondering if they're going to rework/revamp the stealth mechanic eventually, though. Make it less oppressive to bad players and less useless against good ones. Stratch that, actually. Players with eyes.

>play with low mmr friends
>knock nova out all game because standing still doesn't help
>she ends game like 1-14
>"submitted to blizzard for map hacking :)"

Yeah, ditto. Multiple accounts as well.

>800 or 600 gold quest almost every day
>1000 gold weekly brawl
>200 daily event gold

They're not going to do any more hero price reductions, are they?

>They're not going to do any more hero price reductions, are they?
desu they should restructure the pricing scheme to follow the difficulty rating of the hero. Everyone still launches at 15k, but then instead of dropping and staying at 10k, they go to 2, 4, 7 or 10 depending on whether they're easy, medium, hard or very hard

>Azmo 2k despite being harder than the average hero
>Especially since he's not meta/top-tier at all

Azmodan isn't particularly difficult unless you're opting for a Q build.

>Johanna reduced from 10,000 to 4,000
Nice, perfect. Good, safe beginner tank.
>Kerrigan reduced from 7,000 to 4,000
Okay, fair enough, I guess.
>Rexxar reduced from 10,000 to 4,000
YO HOL UP

Seasoned Marksman or Reactive Parry on Artanis?

Seasoned Marksman is a dumb idea, right?

You go Q build 99% of the time.

>Zera still 10k
>So many heroes are still 10k

How is the cloud a Warcraft mount?

We did get that red one in Mists of Pandaria. Came with a neat little disc, too.

>Q build

Eh, yeah. After Diamond I can't really see anything else working. Not really a reason to be picking him, either.

>real rework when

When should a Guldan go Fel Flame talent build?

>Lose because of retards
>Get MVP

Is there a worse feeling in HotS? It should be a good thing, right? But it just makes me feel like shit.

The same way any map reddit doesn't like is warcraft. I've seen people unironically state that terror garden is from the warcraft universe.

Where's it from?

The OC Nexus universe, along with most of the others.

>8 Nexus
>2 Starcraft
>2 Diablo
>0 Warcraft

Is Uther worth it to buy and play right now? or just stick to BW and wait for Lucio?

I think he's the worst support at the moment

How the fuck is Samuro's win rate so high?

Cloakie + he has the meme of "he's OP!" by retards. Said retards refuse to get gud since they're all in this circle-jerk mindset of "he's OP therefore I can remain dumb"

Invisibility = Invincibility

Because only pros like me play him.

hero seems like literal garbage whenever he's in my plat games so i have no idea

ember spirit

And then in those:

Haunted Mines, Cursed Hollow, Towers of Doom are in the same "world"
Sky Temple and Tomb of the Spider Queen
Gardens of Terror and Dragonshire
Then Blackheart's bay by itself.

I play him in solo qm only for fun, you know what sucks? going against a five stack with only solo players after 5 wins, especially when they are coordinated as fuck and have cc up the ass,nothing saves you from the actually coordinated non greedy valeera that's made her life goal to fuck with you. At least we all got deleted and had a 12 min game.

Funny you mention that. I had a 6-7 win streak yesterday, I get on the play toady, 3 fucking games in a row against a 5 stack on voice comms. (I recognize the people)


I fucking can't stand this matchmaking, they need to remove 4-5 stacks from QM, I'm so sick of it.

>try to get samuro to 5
>Ragnaros, Auriel, Tassadar, Nazeebo
>the moment I engage in any fight I lose half my health
This game is suffering

you wanted a viable stealth hero whos name isnt zeratul? ha

>Get curse
>LETS GET BOSS
>Both teams are near a boss
>LETS START THE BOSS
>Wipe the enemy team we're all alive and healthy need Leoric to tank the core
>LETS TAKE THE KNIGHTS
>Eventually lose

>tribute spawns
>started heading for it
>valeera keeps pinging boss
>two people up there
>more pings on boss
>everyone else gives up tribute and heads to boss
>it's obvious what we're doing
>enemy team caps tribute
>I'm the only one who spots Zeratul
>couldn't reveal him
>he prisons boss at 1%
>his team collapses in
>we get wiped
>they take boss

Totally worth it.

>Li-Ming is voiced by Azula
I knew there was something familiar about that voice, no wonder that she is best girl.

So Li-Ming confirmed for wanting the BBC?

Was there ever any doubt

elaborate

Summer fun pack.
Bikini valla, ming, Jaina.
One piece jo, Kerrigan, valeera
Speedo tychus, Jimmy and greymane
Others: add bikini stitches and child swimwear Lili, as well as swimsuit BW

Add V-String Valeera and Morales into the mix and we're goo.

The model for medic is fucked up because of the armor, I doubt they will do some skin for her like that.

So is General Jimmy, they still did a proper remodel of him.

Prisoner Tychus and Comander Raynor are a thing.

>Not sexualising hope
I can't tell if you are doing something right or wrong

I'm getting kinda tired of stealth comps in QM.

Last 3 fucking matches have been:
>Valeera
>Zeratul
>Nova
>Pick 2 or 3

How is this hero balanced?
>Extremely high HP
>Very high damage both single target and aoe
>Insane map control
>Some of the best utility in the game
>High self healing
>Has unique and very very powerful mechanics

What was Blizzard thinking? Literally the only thing he doesn't have is CC. There is no reason not to pick him 100% of the time.

>win 3 games quest
>win 2 games in a row
>play 3rd game vs AI to make sure to stop playing in a good mood

Who?

Leoirc

Oh him

Leoric is balanced by being slow as well, very situational heroics (one of them is useless without the right team and double useless depending on the enemy team), long cool downs and as mentioned before little to no CC

>Zul'jin meets all of these
>he still got nerfed

That wasn't me. It's not Leoric.

She is pure stranger and I am going to marry her, so I'm not sexualising her

Nigger Tyrael in bondage, she can be the ropes.
Best of both worlds.

This guy is not me, I did mean Leoric.

Zul'jin is an assassins, so his lack of CC is understandable. But at least one of his heroics has a fantastic use and are nowhere near as situatinal as Leorics.

He also isn't slow

>mfw felsaber mount is attached to the fucking bundle

outta here leaguebabby

...

Pretty much never. Only Flame talents situationallay worth taking is the spell shield one and the decrease corruption CD one.

>play mostly quick play with my friends
>one always picks murky
>the other zuljin
>they complain how op valeera is
>i mostly play valeera
shes not op,right

Daily reminder.

Since and including Tracer we had
>8 Warcraft heroes
>3 OW heroes
>1 Diablo hero
>1 Starcraft hero

When are they going to nerf Li-Ming, its getting out of hand.
