Lúcio is a CUTE frog!

More cumslut heroes when?

n-not like I expected a cute russian or anything... baka!

>tfw even FTP won't make her pick rate go up

they need to make war paint baseline and give her something else on lv1

Is there a cap on how much bnet balance you can have?

Blizzardo knows that a stealth character with a 1.5 second stun and a blind will not, at any point it time, be pleasant to play against, right?

>tfw they've existed for over a decade in wow

You never know.

Sort of surprised and disappointed they buffed her, desu. I hoped she would remain, like, Alarak status.

She did need the aa buff, the rest are useless like the poisons or the garrote "buffs".

>I hoped she would remain, like, Alarak status.
Alarak is actually good though.

When Lucio releases, do we know who's going to price drop?

I ask because people predicting Muradin/Diablo's price changes (including Muradin's increase) and I'm sitting on 10k right now.

>Varian + Valeera
>Charge into Taunt into Cheap Shot with Blind
just dodge the point and click cc my dude

Valeera is going to have more activity this weekend than alarak in 1.5 months of HGC.

Yeah, but not until somewhere in Diamond, or perhaps Master. I don't know what player skill is like these days, I've just been maintaining accounts via dailies in bots games. Not sure if people are better/worse than s1/s2.

Don't judge me, pls.

Kharazim to 7,000, wasn't it?

tfw didn't get him for 5k that one time

>ponyfucker

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

Gah, buggery, I already have Khara.

Guess I'll be picking up Vikings or something.

Next week can't come soon enough. I am super hype.

Stupid Luxoria bundle got me to buy him for 10k coins.

Ugh. I love the skins though, so whatever.

Should probably wait until the previous thread actually hits the post limit before making a new thread.

You're doing God's work user.

Fine, don't die. Goddamn.

Do they ever sell bundle mounts by themselves?

The lunar skins are dogshit but I really want that nimbus cloud. Not interested in paying 25 shekels for it.

Yes, it'll be purchasable by itself eventually.

Just have to wait a while. They rotate mounts around.

Yeah, usually a few months later.

I'm not capable of having a shred of fun with this game anymore. Too many bad players. I'm out
Goodnight hotsg

Be honest, /hotsg/, would you fuck this cute dude given the chance?

gold check-in.

Was it HL? user you are the rank you deserve if ur good enough u can just climb, and if ur rly good u acn carry, maybe u need to improve??

if it was qm LMAO dude its just a five clown fiesta bro it doesnt matter its just qm if u want a real game play hl bro tahts where the real palyers are with the real games no five clown fiesta there bro lmao it dont matter

Hope you feel better, see you tomorrow maybe.

>wow token prices are STILL dropping
Almost back at where they were

Going to get ~1k more after I do todays daily quest and lunar quest

>Go to QM to have fun
>Enemy team is a perfect t1 meta team
>Our team is literally the worst possible
haha epic

bro lmao you cant have fun its five clown fiesta mode bro just have f... i mean cmon bro lol it dont matter

i mean it's quick match, you get what you get

and you seem bitter

Every time somebody mentions a match like that they forget to mention that time they stomped another team that was in the same situation yesterday or earlier today.

If my Five Clown Fiesta posts sound like bitterness, I think it's been going over your head.

oh, fair enough
just assumed you were one of those fellows that didn't play ranked and just took the fun modes seriously

>landlord randomly shuts off internet during draft
>-600 points
>demotion match

"personal" rank adjustment

>lets take the most hated pvp class from wow and put it in hots
>yes lets allow her to stunlock people to death

I don't even care that I can counter her, dying to a stunlock is just fucking boring.

really makes me think...

>landlord
>being a cuck

dude just reveal her
just cast AoEs on the shimmer
just cleanse it
just pink her shroud

I have an 80% winrate in team league. Why do we still get placed with literally every division, from bronze to top 30 grandmaster?

Is hero league any better? Not like I'd play it, but I'm really curious.

I do find it weird taht they actively nerfed stuns to try and get away from the stun into burst thing, yet the do nothing but add more burst to the game, as well as better, longer stuns. They're undoing what they were trying to do earlier.

>lose: -200
>dodge: -600

This seems a tad harsh.

Yes, Hero League is significantly better than Team League.

Is there any reason to take ranked more seriously than the unranked modes?
You know there isn't

yikes

hah
knew it

>1.5s stun
>stunlock

>the most hated pvp class from wow
Imagine if there were a class with a rogue's stealth & stuns
Imagine if that class also had a tank's health
Imagine if they had the self healing of pre-nerf Thrall
Imagine if had several ccs other than the stun as well and teleports
Now imagine if that class is immune to CC

You don't have to imagine because it is WoW's truly most hated pvp class

>what's mana

I'm not that guy and I'm grandmaster rank

im just saying if you take the game super seriously at all youre probably a faggot

>feral druid
>cyclone
>bleeds

Yikes. I'm scared. Wonder if Broll will be the Guardian/Feral.

It's a reliable point-click stun. Easy to follow up on.

>tyrande flare
>muradin stunbolt
>tychus grenade behind
>everything ETC does

Now that I think about it, would she be good for setting up for, say, Chromie?

Something druids never run out of?

There really isn't but people aren't willing to see it themselves. It feels better to believe otherwise.

FUN GAME!

Surely Blizzard knows how to do QM team comps.

no, I just meant he seemed the type to avoid ranked for one reason or another then take the unranked modes seriously
when there's really nothing about the game to take seriously

don't recall mana being a significant weakness of feral

>buffing Valeera's HP when she's literally untargetable 90% of the time

t. bronzie

>Now that I think about it, would she be good for setting up for, say, Chromie?
Sure, but you would pretty much need voice or a very obvious target for it because chromie takes some time to get the spells going

>WoWtoken already down to 70k on NA

Hey, that was pretty quick.

Neato. I have a friend who wants to play Chromie and I was tempted to play Valeera, although I'll probably just go with Xul. Tell him to keep an eye out for that ring.

>Didn't panic buy them at 100k
Really dodged a bullet there now to buy 20 of them before it's too late

Wtf, why isn't possible to afk train anymore?

Mhm. I didn't think they'd stay too high for too long, but also wasn't expecting them to drop back down so quickly. Imagine if they go for 50-60 again.

No, they broke that some time ago, unfortunately.

>Haha lets make a melee warrior
>okay so lets give him the best play maker abilities in the game
>also his damage should be on par with assassins
>Hey, why not give him shields too I mean why let him have any downsides?
>lets name him Artanis

GREAT JOB BLIZZARD

>he was bad for so long so it's okay though, haha

Ahhh, I just want to play against something else.

hm

is there a way of getting wowtoken, battle.net balance over to another account

>EU token price hasn't changed in the past 30 minutes
Is it time to buy?

what is this token meme? i used to play wow three years ago,will i have any tokens?

>just pink her shroud
that takes me back

>he doesn't know

You can spend wow gold to buy tokens that give you 30 days of play time or 13€/15$ of battle net balance. The balance part was added yesterday and the prices doubled and are now back to what they were before

It was originally X amount of gold = 30 days WoW sub time.
Recently changed to give either 30 days time or $15 battle.net currency.

NA: 70k
EU: 115k

Give or take.

Oh boy, blizz must be really desperate if they are resorting to this. Wow player numbers must be down alot

>desperate
Eh, maybe. It's $20 to buy a token, yet only gives $15 or 30 days.

>can finally dump all that archimonde gold
god bless

Looks like its instantlook murky in HL time.

>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 just sounds overpowered as fuck. Enemy team is not going to get any fucking camps.

yeah and you got like 4 eggs everywhere. can backdoor with infinity march of the murlocs. looks like he is going to be a better splitpusher than aba.

>13€/15$
>If a skin costs $10 in US, it obviously has to cost 10€ in EU too, for consistency among numbers! :^ )

>log on to wow to get some bnet balance
>it's not up for EU yet
>can't have more than 10 tokens in bags at once
>it's also account wide restriction
Goddamnit Blizzard. I'm going to personally go strangle them all to death with my bear hands if they don't add it to EU within 30 days

The unlimited march is pretty shit, mainly because the march ulti itself is pure shit. Better off taking the double health

what, if it's not up yet why did the token cost double up yesterday?

I did the same I hope the balance option is for already purchased tokens too otherwise I will do the soccer mom in a restaurant move and completely mong out in their ticket section

I'm guessing everyone bought 10 tokens in anticipation of the trade or did what I did, bought 10 tokens and then realised you can't actually trade them for bnet balance yet

Pretty sure there was something about old tokens working in the original announcement

>plebbit argues it's fine for varian and valeera to have bullshit length point and stun crap

>valeera will never stunlock you and abuse of your body

>tfw no kidney shot

SO MUCH FUN WITH ALL THESE STEALTHERS

>play malfurion
>pick the scout drones at level 1
>enemy stealthers can't do shit

>tfw got enough gold to buy 3 more tokens
>already hit the cap of 10 in bags account wide
The price is going to skyrocket again once they make them actually redeemable. Atleast now I might consider buying something in hots with the bnet balance

Tokens going up again

Valeera has literally nothing going for her except her stun and Varian is fine stop complaining

I'm not him but I just kinda dislike playing against her, even if you can counter her. Getting stun locked is unfun.

Stop using Lucio, you're confusing the Overwatch fags.

that's the point user

She can't stunlock you
Why are you letting her walk next to you anyway?

Not all heroes can reveal her even if you can see the shimmer.

This game is fucking shit though I had to play it for my Edgy Gengi skin and I DID NOT like it.
thank you

Just walk away from her?
