>Which heroes should I buy? 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.
>tfw can't decide between Rexxar and Sgt. Hammer even though I haven't played them at all HELP ME
Elijah James
Rexxar!
Jose Cook
That's a great skin, lol
Camden Sanchez
...
Jonathan James
Now that I think about it, I fucking hate Rexxar's Unleash the Boars. What the fuck is the purpose of that ultimate, honestly? Almost every ult is gamechanging, but his is straight up laughable.
Michael Hernandez
Boars are very strong user. Super short cooldown, a bit of dmg and more importantly a 40% slow for 5seconds.
And they hit everything, the range on it is amazing and they always hit.
Nolan Mitchell
Actually, I realized the upgrade on level 20 where boars roots people. That's pretty good if so. I retract from saying that. Do you always go the root or Frenzy? It might be also situational since you can always have a team that's already really good at engaging or at CCing easily.
Nicholas Cooper
Situational, I go wrath when I feel like I can stick my bear on a backline without it dying. If my bear gets bursted easily I take boars.
And yeah the 20 upgrade is insanely strong.
Jace Lopez
General guideline is probably. Q build you go boars W build you go wrath
Ryder Gray
>Get Abathur on your team lose.
What an interesting game.
Christian King
Sonya is the best!
Kevin Foster
Got it. I'm going to buy him since I got more and more used to ALT+D'ing.
Jacob Roberts
>tfw you will never be valla or li-ming >tfw sonya will never breed you every night
Charles Carter
What's a team lose?
Lucas Robinson
what's her right arm doing? fixing a wedgie?
Isaiah Miller
scratching her sweaty toned ass
I want to suck on her fingers and then have her sit down on my face until I'm a mindbroken whimpering mess
Henry Perez
Is there a discord?
Asher Reed
why does medivh get an amount healing score in the stat tab but abathur doesnt even though theyre both labeled as specialists?
Nathaniel Cruz
Valla a cute, CUTE!
Joshua Perez
Holy shit I just got the "You Were Dropped!" thing 3 fucking times in the same match.
What kind of retarded network engineers did blizzard employ?
Alexander Diaz
Next stealth hero when?
Anthony Brooks
>tfw literally 4 assassins and 1 warrior QM memes God damn. I know it's my first time, but he's fucking rough.
Dominic Turner
Dear god no.
This game's meta is fucked enough as it is with the amount of stealth here.
Xavier Torres
But more stealth heroes means more fun user, don't you like fun?
Oliver Davis
>QM's with nobody showing up on the minimap
thankful i moved to unranked
Isaiah Smith
Some guy here reported he got master league from 7-3 placements, well I just got 7-3 placements for Gold II...
Julian Davis
Bait on bait. Good job.
Liam Baker
What?
Jeremiah Bennett
DELETE THIS MAP DELET THIS SHITTY ASS MAP NOBODY LIKES IT, ITS NOT FUN WHAT FUCKING SPIDERS DONT DO DAMAGE FIRST 10 TIMES THEY ARE SUMMONED, ITS NOT FUN PLAYING SAFE TO NOT DROP THIS FUCKING CRYSTALS, ITS NOT FUN WHAT GAME LAST FOR HALF OF HOUR I`VE LOST THIS SHIT AFTER 30 MINUTES DELET THIS MAP
Caleb Hernandez
>mfw you finally realize why people ban diablo in draft What a fucking stupid horned faggot.
Austin Fisher
I've never even heard of anybody being placed higher than Diamond III, 500 points.
Lucas Martin
>vs chogall in QM in fucking infernal shrines nice... i guess..
Henry Allen
i have like a zero percent winrate on warhead. fuck this map. nobody soaks or ever prepares for the nukes. my team goes full retard constantly
Aiden Perez
>go vs chogall >always lose WHAT WERE THEY THINKING LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Josiah Rogers
just one of those maps where one team seems to have no clue what to do and the other is try hard as fug
Cooper Powell
as long as we're deleting maps can you remove snowball bay
Christian Hill
Warhead seems fucking weird. The map is huge for a collection type objective, they spawn a shit ton of nukes, and unless you ambush the dude with the nuke basically there's no way to stop it because the cast time is super short (and again, the map is huge)
I don't really get the map. It has two bosses as well, so I feel like they were all "lets design a huge map but also do our best to make it go super quick"
James James
The lack of counter play when someone decides to nuke you sucks. Should channel a bit longer and channel breaks when taking damage
Ryder Wilson
last two picks troll and pick murky/gazlowe. why can't these memers stay in QM. what's worse is they didn't even prepick 'em
Jason Wood
...
Jacob Rogers
>duo queue feeds intentionally >lel we are le epic troles! u guys mad?? >lol good luck buddy report wont do shit we aint gettin banned Okay, do they honestly think this? Secondly why is this the second time this has happened to me in 24 hours
Ayden Cook
is this game stressful to play solo?
Joshua Williams
I really hope if they do put Tosh in the game they find something else for him to do other than be another stealth assassin.
Y'know, the way they randomly gave Tychus a minigun?
Adrian Ramirez
More please
Connor Rogers
it is because the FUCKING LEVELING TAKES TOO FUCKING LONG
Not really, level 5 is quick. Anything above it is mostly pointless and just extra for playing your favorite heroes
Caleb Johnson
Disco Medivh skin when? His bubble would be a disco ball.
Grayson Carter
I don't understand the whole "levelling heroes takes too long" What do you want? Levelling to 5 is very quick. 9 is for all skins and 10 for master skin. 10 is like what, 40-50 games? Purely optional that just unlocks availability for master skin. Then what do you get at 20--in a sense of who cares if you're 20? No one cares if you're level 10, 13, 16, 19 or 20. I'd hate to keep playing a hero that's maxed level, though--unless the end rewards were insane, like an awesome skin.
Angel Cook
that's 16 hours of one hero though, just for a master skin
Juan Powell
Entirely optional.
Jeremiah Collins
Because they nerfed the xp you get for leveling if you are playing solo. You used to get more.
Jordan Perez
And? I have level 20 Abathur with ~500 games played. Maybe you don't deserve whatever level you want if you don't even play the game
Lucas Anderson
10k gold, who should i get
Zul'jin Auriel Chromie
Charles Gomez
Auriel is the best of the three, but just get whoever you like to play the most.
Samuel Myers
>losing to Cho'Gall >ever lmao'ing @ u
Eli Hall
Chromie and Zul'Jin are too situational to be worth 10k.
Gavin Thompson
I did imagine Tosh to be a specialist that uses stealth for CC and not damage. But Valeera is in already and she does both. He would also steal camps, which they gave to Nova. So my Tosh is dead, Blizz do with him whatever, I only care for Mengsk and Stukov now.
Sebastian Diaz
I just want Chromie for the Fel Queen skin ;)
Ryan Morgan
Despite what says, 2CP maps like Volskaya Industries, Hanamiura, and Temple of Anubis are hated not because they are easy to stall, but because it is easy to bulldoze through them with a divecomp no matter how hard you try.
Shitter leagues hate them because they pick stupid shit and can't aim so one person playing a projectile hero can dunk on the entire team all game (because they also keep insisting on funneling through the chokepoints one by one instead of taking a flanking route or switching to a divecomp in competitive), and higher leagues hate it because it's effectively a coin/toss of who wins in a landslide stomp.
I personally don't hate 2CP maps as much as Dorado and Lijiang Tower though. Something about those two just tilt me to no tomorrow and I have an effective winrate of like 10% on those maps no matter how hard I try to not lose or not tilt.
I don't really see any of them turning into a HotS map though. Anything that's not a KotH map isn't symmetrical already, and even if they were changed to fit, I don't see how they'd be converted from "capture the points / escort the payload" to "push towers -> destroy the core". There's no UT style Onslaught mode so I don't know how you'd get any of that from Overwatch.
Nicholas Campbell
If you're going to buy a skin, why spend gold on the hero? Doesn't that skin come with her in a bundle or am I thinking of something else?
There is no point besides sentimentality after leveling up to 9 and getting 750 gold.
Samuel Harris
Tychus Funny thing is, each game having a ragnaros adds an extra 5 least 10 max minutes to your average game timer Tychus always have had minigun, and if stealth bothers you much; pick your combo around furion, morales, tassadar, raynor. Scouting drones just shit on these plebs faces.
Isaac Turner
in all the ingame cinematics he uses a rifle as well as rendered cinematics its only on one mission he has a minigun. Giving him the laser drill is a bit strange considering its Swans meaning we will never see him as a hero
Wyatt Butler
In a fucked up lore like starcraft which is a manifestation of Blizzard's femdom-giantess fetish over kerrigan; tychus cinematics and origins of Drakken drill bothers you?
William Ward
Tell me /hotsg/
When did you discover that you can avoid ring of frost completely by standing in the middle of the ring?
Hudson Price
Only when you're in shitter leagues, understand exactly what everyone around you is doing wrong, but still not good enough to carry yourself out of non-shitter leagues.
Gavin White
Eh, to each their own. I think it's best played in a full premade.
Vs. AI prior to ever playing with or against other players.
>freeze Valla bot with coc >ring directly on top of her >does diddly squat >realization that it works just like in wow >ring
I'm retarded, etc. Sort of why I stuck to bots games until I was familiar with most of the stuff.
Joshua Barnes
what will be the new rotation?
Adam Phillips
My cock in your mouth and boipucci
Levi Hughes
>3 mins to find a game
Is the matchmaking just this "good" or is currently nobody playing?
Asher Thomas
>playing quick meme on blackheart >our team gets all 10 coins from the first chest spawn >4 of us go to turn-in >enemy team is all there >everyone is just shuffling around but not committing >wonder where our 5th person is >check the map and see Artanis is still in bottom lane >ping him >10 seconds, no response >"Artanis, come help" >"I can't, we need someone to lane bot"
Jaxson Brooks
lack of players & blizzard """matchmaking"""
basically both. also that orc in your pic looks fucking weird
what is it about shithead artanis players? i've noticed that people who play artanis are either really terrible with him or somewhere inbetween good & great.
Justin Lewis
>4 of us go to turn-in I don't get why pubs insist one distributing the coins amongst everyone.
And then lose them all one by one because they're too afraid to engage but hang around until the enemy gets better positioning.
Stick it all on one guy with high mobility, if you're going to get denied turn-in opportunity, at least don't feed them coins.
Isaac Taylor
Free-to-Play Hero Rotation: February 14 - 21, 2017
Malfurion Valla Diablo Alarak Sylvanas Greymane Rexxar (Slot unlocked at Player Level 5) Varian (Slot unlocked at Player Level 7) Uther (Slot unlocked at Player Level 12) Nova (Slot unlocked at Player Level 15)

Luke Moore
>3 mins I've currently been sitting in queue for 5 minutes and counting
Brandon Watson
>Varian noice finally an hero in the free rotation when i'm considering buying it heroes i want to buy are fucking never in the free rotation
William Parker
it doesnt bother me im just stating that Tychus uses a rifle predominantly in cinematics and the fact that he uses the drill means there will never be a Swan hero
Hudson Cook
>Zarya gets branded >Use Sanc to save him >Runs away from Sanc >Continues to feed and get caught out all game >Goes grenade build on Zarya
Jeremiah Richardson
I've had 2 shit zaryas in a row now. Is zarya free this week or what?
Liam Carter
Lambed, rather. Anger is making me dumb.
Lincoln Ramirez
How about this, for $1 from the blizzard wallet the hero can instantly reduce his heroic ability cooldown by 90% It would be nice influx of income for blizz and it would make the game more fun for players too
Grayson Flores
>tfw the QM matchmaking roulette keeps giving you red when you bet on black

>only 90% Just make it instant reset with no limit on how many times you can do it
