How's this for M'koa?

take 1 point front strongarm and salvage and put it to health you knob

I heard the song in my head.

Strongarm III, Salvage I and Leviathan IV, you mean?

yes

Don't listen to this idiot You always want lowest cooldown on your dredge anchor because it's fucking OP.

;)

maeve is for rearing children

So is the update out?

you mean a shit
A SHIT

Don't listen to any any of those other people.
These are the two best decks depending on enemy damage output, and go Chronos.

Out on PTS. Live, probably wednesday or something.

fuck, she went full tumblr mode.

thanks for the clear up

But muh hook.

I really hope they fix the new character face just like they did with Cassie

Disregard anchor, get mad shieldings.
Anchor builds are pretty fine, too, though. Did you know Sea Legs actually lasts for 4 shots?

Shitty meme shield builds. You want the hook cooldown as much as possible and rather than chronos you'd want to buy morale boost because Makoa's ultimate is busted.

unless the enemy team has a drogoz who also buys morale boost

Reminder

This is true, Drogoz is an asshole.

It's a free game, you're lucky HiRez even puts out content for you entitled gamers.

but wouldnt you want a cosmetic that actually makes you want to give them money to buy?

I know its bait but this is a point that has to be made

He's not an asshole, he's a lizard

take that back

>this is a point that has to be made
Unfortunately, the only group that needs that point made is HiRez, and they clearly couldn't care less about putting out content that's actually worth money. They'd much rather make low effort recolors and then shove those and other trash tier content in chests with the stuff that's actually good.
This is just more proof that HiRez is too lazy and/or incompetent to properly take our money.

if you think about it, the only chars with actually recolored hair/heads are skye and evie, right?
everyone else has only their little accessory colored.
I think Hi Rez consideres hair color an important part of personality, and it should only be different for premium character changing skins
BUY THOSE FUCKIN CHRYSTALS ASSHOLES

Speaking of Drogoz, the new Salvo is fun to use, especially with a Salvo-focused build.

what did they change about it? reduce cooldown?

Time between rockets is reduced by 25%, they have a 70% increased explosion radius, and the rockets themselves are far more accurate.

what the heck
when are they nerfing his fire spit

>nerfing fire spit
For what purpose?

Never been to this general before.

What do you guys whinge about?

>dealing 2000 area damage every 5 seconds isn't op

A good Drogoz deserves to put out good damage.

>blowing bubbles is skill

>blowing bubbles and hitting them every single time isn't skill
Last I checked most people don't just sit around on the objective when drogoz is drooling on them.

>bunching up
>not having vikky/tyra shut him down if he gets close enough to spit
>not having makky hook the scally

>not adding the fact that he can spam it with the right loadout

>Competent teammates

Matchmaking, teammates, cosmetics and how they're obtained. There's also the occasional bickering over who's the cutest/purest. The answer to which is obviously PIP!

its not though
m2 + m1 while standing in a corner takes absolutely no skill
>vikky
>makky
>scally
i dont know where you came from but yous gotta go

Touche

/v/

Viktor is purest.

...

Is it just me or is the game dominated by shitters who intentionally metawhore/

What did he mean by this?

is there even a set meta yet

buck, kinessa, sha lin

That's not even a meta, that's just scrubs instalocking them so they can get dank kills.

4 flank 1 damage

So Madness just said that Radiant Chests are going to get redone so they ONLY drop cards and/or dust.

Radiant-exclusive skins will possibly be moved to the Colossal Chest.

>Cutest
Regal explosives hurler
>Purest
Tree

Yeah, the meta is: try to at least have a frontliner and a support, also try and avoid picking Skye and Tyra in high level games if you can.

>furfuck and generic soldier are pure
Kneel before your king and push the payload you filthy peasants!

...

LMAO that jewery, isn't making the game p2w enough for them?

... Flair chest. FLAIR CHEST. THE NEW FLAIR CHEST.
50 CRYSTALS.

>Thier bk
>latches every bomb, nicely placed grumpies

>Ours
>misses everything, just uses grumpies to save himself and flys around the map not doing much

what the heck is a flair

>PTS Chests
Radiant: "Cards, Gold, Cosmetics"
Colossal: "Rare, Epic and Exclusive Skins, Emotes and Poses"
Genie: "Exclusive Items"
Green: "Exclusive Items"
Valentine: "Exclusive Items"
Flair: "Emotes and Poses"

Only 2000 over 5? I understand it affects everyone, but I can do 5248.75 in that time.

>Colossal: "Rare, Epic and Exclusive Skins, Emotes and Poses"
>Emotes and Poses
i know they want me to farm those chests for that certain skin i want but fucking reeeeee

Why is Mal Damba so underrated? He's clearly the best support and can also function as a damage.

I though they were gonna take the emotes and poses out from the colossal

>50 Drybearjizzcrystals for this
LMAO

Oh I just read "exclusive", my bad

>rest of team instapicks damage/flankers
>pick tank reluctantly
>they fucking suck and die instantly
>"fking noob team"
why do i even play this game

>2200 elo
>still being grouped with 1500, sometimes 1300 shitters

I think most people would agree that Mal Dambo is the best support.

I hardly ever see people playing as him though. They always pick Grohk, Grover or Ying.

Because you actually have to aim shit.

Groover is a left click simulator
Ying is a right click simulator

>they want to make the radiant chest a pure p2w chest and remove all the other neat things in it(any cosmetic)
>need to waste all your hard earned gold in shitty cards instead of cool cosmetics
>this is supposed to make radiant chests and your gold more meaningful
LMAO

while its not too late, im thinking about buying jewbear's special bonus thingy and opening 20 chests for that 33% bonus
should i do it? i feel like i should do it because im also missing quite a lot of cards and gold

don't put any money in this game you will regret it

wasnt planning on it, i have 200 saved up
besides, it doesnt feel like skins are even that worth it

i think i made up my mind about this

Someone needs to ask this in a Q&A. If Radiant chests won't drop emotes and poses anymore then I'll open them now.

>Pick Drogoz
>Teammate picks Buck
>We proceed to take turns kicking the other team in the dick
>Watching each others back so we rarely die
Is this the bromance I've heard so much about

I experienced this once, but it was the enemy Mamba and Grohk flanking the shit out of my team.

Name.

Stale Meme

ded thred

I want to adopt Maeve and give her a warm loving home!

she'd steal all your food and money and run away

and here are the results

pretty disappointing, t᠎bh
the only skin i got is the equivalent of for tyra
which puts the percent chance of getting skins from chests at an astounding 1.25%

also im pretty sure i got a couple of duplicates of androxus' pose, but i wasnt fast enough to capture a screenshot of them

im pretty disappointed, but i was expecting a lot less poses and emotes so its meh

It'd fine she already stole my heart anyway.

and heres what getting a duplicate looks like

Shia "THE WIND WILL HIDE US" LaBeouf

>which puts the percent chance of getting skins from chests at an astounding 1.25%

Shiet.

>Radiant: "Cards, Gold, Cosmetics"
>Flair: "Emotes and Poses"
So it's gonna be moved? Fuck that. I'm gonna open all my Radiant Chests.

But will she steal my virginity?

What's wrong with mouseclicks in the PTS? Joining a match and selecting a character gives me aids

>Instead of just lagging themselves, brs and russians ruin the entire match with their shitty internet
Getting real tired of this shit

She'll stab you in the dick. Does that count?

If only she let me stab her with my dick first.

I went back and played TF2 again. Wow, I'm so used to Paladins now that I can't stand a lot of parts of it. Like Sniper and Spy being able to kill you instantly. Used to think that was acceptable.

When will the actual update drops? Tomorrow?

Is having 2100 elo good enough?

I fought with 2500 elo players and fuck they're ridiculously good.

Friday, I think.
