Sex Goddess Tyrande seems to be my new favorite skin.

Consider the following:
They make Reaper's ult a wider-radius 360 degree March of the Black King.

It'd explain why they removed March's 360 degree effect for no fucking reason other than "lol fuk leo".

Is it not still 360? I'm sure I've hit people behind me with it pretty recently.

>Only live in NA right now. Blizzard just added a change to the WoW tokens: you can now also use them to add $15 to your battle.net balance. You can now buy heroes, Overwatch loot, Hearthstone cards with you WoW gold.

It was removed in patch notes a while back with the promise of "Leoric buffs soon".

Still no Leo buffs.


Of course, this is Blizzard we're talking about. HotS patch notes aren't fucking reliable in the slightest.

Official PTR patch notes.

I saw they changed Marked for the Kill again. What does it do now?

skilshot that deal 35% of the current hp as damage.

Marked For The Kill now known as Cursed Bullet

Fires a bullet that deals damage equal to 35% of that hero's current health to the first enemy hit. 30s CD

Level 20
Now hits all enemy heroes in it's path and reduces the cooldown by 5 seconds for each enemy hit

>Muradin
>Crowd Control (W) Now has a 7 second cooldown reduction maximum
Braxis holdout will not be a lot less fun to play as Muradin

did they make murky even worse? lol

New Talent: Egg Hunt (Active)
- Activate to place a fake Egg. If the fake Egg dies, it casts Slime. Maximum 3 fake Eggs. 6 second cooldown
- Upon spawning from an Egg, Murky is Stealthed for 5 seconds
holy kek

>March of the murlocs buff
Great, now normies will realize how strong it is and it's inevitably going to be nerfed.

>There are people in this threat that actually want Diablo 3 cuckablo
>You'll never close my portals, Nephelim.
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>thrall will no longer get his ults interrupted
FUCKING
FINALLY

There's a small angle behind Leo it doesn't hit because the hammer animation doesn't actually go that far.

Leo and Murky were both supposed to be getting looked at around the same time (End of January) so here's hoping.

>Big Tuna Kahuna

>With Egg Shell

>And Assault Egg


Oh my fucking god what the fuck did they do to the little guy? Holy SHIT.

>Hinterland Blast (R) Added functionality: Cooldown is reduced by 25 seconds for every enemy Hero hit

imagine picking this against a samuro

Does this stack to 50% speed reduction for 5 seconds just from his auto attacks? This talent seems pretty busted for a level 7 talent.

Murky is going to be everywhere with all these buffs. That health increase too.

why did they rape murky like this
r34 of murky getting fucked in every single hole of his by blizzard when

...

>game is dying
>let's release a Tyrande skin
>game is revived

ABSOLUTE GODDESS

>all those nerfs to pupperfish

im in love

Truly best girl

>when the master valla feeds more than anyone else

Ranks truly do mean nothing in this game.

So pufferfish is dead useless now but a 'tanky' annoying murloc with slime and auto talents will be annoying.

>valeera buffs

it......................is..............................time........................


.............................to have my amani bear............................

>he's in love with some pixels
Sad!

>Those changes to Murky
>Greymane with an actual ult.

I like it.

is that a dude?
That's a dude.

>100% of his life as an extra shield
>can double his health
Who here ready for 400% health Murky?

Seems like he's doing a lot less damage.

>wowtoken gives battle.net currency
>asleep when it was implemented
>tokens gone

Shit.

>when the GM Valla dies 17 times and flames everybody else when she couldn't dodge a single Kerri combo

:3c

>Murky level 20 talent: Murky's maximum Health and Egg respawn times are doubled.

Got 7k gold, like aupport

Rehgar or Bridewing

>More health at the cost of longer death time
There is a problem with this?

Kharazim.

He said he likes support, not closet DPS.

3k gold more

Rehgar is easier and fits into more comps and maps.

BW is very strong on large maps where she can soak lanes and teleport into fight when needed to gain either exp advantage for 5v4 advantage.

>he didn't read the PTR notes

PTR patch notes just mentioned that Kharazim will be reduced to 7k.
>Kharazim's prices will be reduced to 7,000 Gold and $8.49 USD.

>Earthquake will go off even if Thrall is interrupted during his cast animation
>Sunder will go off even if Thrall is interrupted during his cast animation
I bet Metzen was behind this

Post yfw MURKY got reworked before uther or leoric

>abathur gets 5 more damage on the hat abilities and 7 more shielding
Damn Abathur is so broken OP now

>no tassadar changes when he's only fun right now because you can blow people up with archon

>wow gold now gives battle.net currency
>can buy hots skins with wow gold

Gosh, that was quick. I wasn't expecting it until 7.2

>can't CC his Sunder

Uh, why?

He is difficult to balance. Might get that rework after Uther and Stitches now that Murkster is out of the way.

he needed it way more than them

I hope they don't touch Abathur. Nonretards can play him effectively, any rework is pretty much guaranteed to make him trash.

He just got some buffs.

That's fine, but I'm afraid they're going to ruin him in an attempt to make him noob friendly down the line.

Nah, extremely slight buffs to his Symbiote abilities. This makes my urge to play him even stronger.

Urge to play him again, that is. He's still my most played but haven't touched the faggot in over 6 months. His huge talent diversity interests me greatly.

Are those Murky nerfs I see

Why is the hots twitch icon thrall with autism?

>They gave Valeera more health.

Why? I though she was supposed to be high risk, high reward.

I was looking at the Pufferfish change when posting and didn't read further until after this post btw

Blizzard finally says "fuck it" to marked for the kill, gives Greymane best ult ever instead

>New Talent: A Fishy Deal (Active)
>Killing an enemy Minion with Pufferfish grants 1 stack of Bribe. Use 5 Bribe stacks to capture a single Mercenary. Maximum of 20 stacks
That seems very strong

Just finished my placements, got Diamond 3.
any good?

That's the highest you can get out of placements. Good job user.

>35% damage
We anti-tank now. Go for the Throat to mass kill squishies, Marked for the Kill anti-everything.

:D

Why? I'm pretty sure Cursed Bullet will just be the better ult now.

>Will do 35% of their current health, on a 30 second cooldown.

I'm going to have fun with that until they gut it in the Greymane tradition.

Don't forget the 5s cd reduction per target hit at level 20 so if you hit the whole enemy team you can do it again in 5 seconds

They don't believe in high risk high reward, everything high reward is retardedly fucking easy, everything with high risk gives little to no reward over non-high risk characters.

>New Talent: A Fishy Deal (Active)
>Killing an enemy Minion with Pufferfish grants 1 stack of Bribe. Use 5 Bribe stacks to capture a single Mercenary. Maximum of 20 stacks

>Never-Ending Murlocs (R)
>Redesigned: March of the Murlocs can now be channeled indefinitely

This is insane. Murky will just be able to push and take mercs nonstop

Murky rework looks OP as fuck and i love it

It's going to be so good until they nerf it into the ground.

>MFW All these murky nerfs

>nerfs

I don't think you realize what that word means

>we're working on a rework for leoric!
>not in last changes
>not in these changes

FUCK
YOU
BLIZZARD
FUCKING
DIE

>Murky nerfs

Easy (you)s

>murky nerfs

>pufferfish is now one hit by everything
>Not a nerf

>Leoric is too good in this tank meta. We are making his Q now only do 1.5x damage to minions and structures

>take march ulti
>can literally channel it until everything in it's area is destroyed

yeah, instead of being vaporized by tracer, tychus, and zarya auto attacks, it is instead only destroyed by spells that cost mana.

What a nerf :^)

>Reminder that they promised Leoric was getting looked at for a rework around the same time as Murky

So they have to do it next month...
Right?
