Lucio is FUN and CUTE

>can make Medivh a nigger
>can't make Lucio white

Valla is the sluttiest!

Is new Murky OP?
What about the nigger?

sonya is back lads

Nigger goes beyond skin color, same goes for being a white man.

>43FPS
>78C

Why didn't Varian stun with his charge at 0:11?

did she got buffed?

I have actually no idea

dunno if vision loss caused it

>those tass changes

new murky is strong but not broken
expect him to get nerfed a fair bit, especially his double health and shield on respawn synergy thing

lucio is not too groundbreaking in terms of healing, but can end up healing a good bit if his team keeps sticking together and he uses his amps well

Yeah. Her whirlwind heals more and deals more damage, and they buffed Poison Spear.

Yeah, it didn't do damage either.

>implying that's that bad
>running chrome, LibreOffice, torrent manager, the usual background things

80C is danger city, my sweet summer child. You need some fans or more thermal paste, you are going to fry some shit eventually.

>laptop

Would probably a lot cooler if I had cleaned it in 2 years.

Do not bully, only comment on my temps!!

>80C is not bad at all

rag destroy murky, he cant do shit to him in line

Is a one time shield actually better than the heal? Ragnaros' submerge is a 90 second cd but safety bubble is a bigger heal every 14 seconds plus free movement.

the heal better, dont listen to bronzies

Patch is up on EU.

DELET MURKY

Oh boy, I can't wait to be a useless piece of shit and hunt all these eggs.
And they buffed the shit out of march. People just get melted and it's pure chaos trying to dodge a hundred of them in the middle of a fight.

EQ + MoM + Other AoE memes when?

>And they buffed the shit out of march
Having only played against it, march feels as useless as ever

Maybe it's Lucio boosting his team and they're tripping over them when they wouldn't at normal speed but I've been melting people all afternoon. Level 20 and it's just impossible for the other team to advance against yours, probably the best upgrade in the game.

>Level 20 and it's just impossible for the other team to advance against yours
>*throw grenade at murky*

Is Lucio the strongest hero on release?

HAHAHAHAHA, Do you not remember samuro?

No because Xul and Tracer exist

nice epic upvoted and subscribed

When he got a slight level lead Thrall could 1v5 easily on release, hell he probably still can if he gets an amazing sunder off.

Is this your first hero release?

Yes, quite over-rated. Have you seen KT on release?

Yes I've been playing since the alpha and was master league last season, samuro was by and far the strongest.

*rattle*

>KT on release
Just pick azmodan hammer and delete him from off screen
just pick chen sonya and muradin dive him
just pick zeratul and kill his team while hes void prisoned

>just pick zeratul and kill his team while hes void prisoned
Wow, you have found the universal counter, how is Zeratul not 100% winrate is beyond me.

...

>not Lunara

Questionable.

Because he was nerfed into the ground once people finally realized how to play him.

> how is Zeratul not 100% winrate is beyond me.
He would have a 100% winrate if not for the 4 lesser beings on his team
>Zeratul makes the greatest play of all time
>His teammates all die while b-stepping leaving the enemy core at 3%
This literally just happened in tournament the other day

Tassadar got a big change between PTR and now. Is he worth playing again?

Tassadar is still extremely powerful as a 2nd support, but intelligent players such as myself have realized Zarya and even Medivh are better than him.

What did they mean by this?

It means you can't chain Archon casts if you have it up long enough.

Is that you Braco?

Li-Ming was the strongest hero on release

So that's what Oddish looks like. Never opened up her stream before.

Oh, shit, right. Re-reading it after reading your comment made it make sense. A bit of a shame.

>play varian
>get lucio in my team
>pick banner of stormwind

>"AMP IT UP!"
>"HOHHHHHHHH MEEEEEEE CHELEEEEEEEEEE HOOOOOOOOO TAHHHHH ELA SOOOOOH ME CHELEEEEEE TEE TOOO LAAAAAAA"
>MULTIKILL flashes on the screen
>VICTORY!
>Varian MVP

Li-Ming wasn't that good on release

Just block her skill shots with minions
Just block her skill shots with summons
Just pick warriors she can't delete in one Q

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

I think you have bad memory.
She was nerfed hard several times in a row.
On release she even had an ATTRACTION ZONE on her long range skill shot. It was completely overpowered.

Name the hero you want in the game --

CHALLENGE MODE

Cannot use popular requests, (Kel Thuzad, Stukov, Whitemane, Infestor etc) cannot use WC3 playable characters, Overwatch characters, you get the idea

Mine: A hellion driver. Able to switch to hellbat mode. All the talents basically pimp your ride in various ways

>attraction zone
Just don't get hit by so you dont get sucked in
just walk towards it so you take less damage

Well, this feels about right.

We're caterers. Anyway, I don't care how shittily I did, if your stats as Illidan are worse than Malf's, something is very wrong. We could not kill people.

If we can't do popular requests, I'll pick Moira. Finish off the trio and be a solid pick for a priest representative.

Should I buy Sgt. Hammer or just straight up focus on Abathur/Sylvanas (both level 6) to get quests done? I've been wondering about her a lot, even though, I might need another tank or warrior in general, such as ETC, Arthas, Sonya, Leoric, Varian or Dehaka. Thoughts?

>>"HOHHHHHHHH MEEEEEEE CHELEEEEEEEEEE HOOOOOOOOO TAHHHHH ELA SOOOOOH ME CHELEEEEEE TEE TOOO LAAAAAAA"
What did he mean by this?

Jack Frost the Firebat hero from Starcraft Insurrection but only if they get his original voice actor

Is Tyrande a slut? That's even more side boob than normal.

youtu.be/QYidb1LvMs8?t=1m36s

I love their designs
too bad they'd make zero sense in a MOBA. Alternatively ANYTHING from Ahn'Quiraj, but besides C'thun nothing is really iconic, and C'thun would be hard to do as a hero, an immobile abathur or something.

Yes even elf except Illidan has hit that

>too bad they'd make zero sense in a MOBA.
Just make Twin Emps like TLV.

C'thun could work as a core-replacer hero, like Rag was originally intended to be.

I once tried to theorycraft a kit for Skeram but jesus fucking christ his attacks are either boring or already covered in HotS.

Bredafuria Stormrage, Illidan and Malfurion's long lost third brother.

...

>Pick a hero except all of them, you get the idea
k

Need to get 15 games done for WoW mount. Never played HotS but played League of Lels and Doter. What's the fastest way to do games?

Can I alt+F4 once game starts? Or just feed to make the game end faster?

Sicco Thermaplugg wouldn't be popular, but I'd be fine with just a random leper gnome.

Mimiron.
Super squishy ranged specialist, has to summon and control vehicles to fight.
Think D.Va but not OW cancer.
Heroics are either Firefighter difficulty or V-07-TR-0N.

The core replacer hero HAS to be the Overmind, NOT C'thun. C'thun could be an alternate skin for the Overmind though.

>not having a full team of core replacer heroes.

Yeah, Overmind would probably be better but as a hero I feel C'thun directly only works as a core-replacer himself.
Same with Yogg-Saron.

I'd personally really enjoy C'thun/Yogg being temporarily summoned as a heroic for one of their high-ranking minions like Skeram or Sara though.

None of those sound good other than Varian and Dehaka.

Isn't two afk specialists enough though? Only lv 6 too.

>can't think of a hero other than the same 12 people always request
?
Read what others are saying. There are plenty.

I honestly don't know why people pick tracer anymore. It's bad enough she gets dumped on by the last 10 heroes released, but this video shows it's worse than that.
>tracer vs valeera
>post game
>tracer died 15 times

...

The world could definitely use more angry healers.
LIVE, INSECT!

I've been trying out Abathur lately. I got him to level 6, but all of this time, I was playing Locust build only. Is Hat or Mines build the better build?

>Tracer doesn't use melee
I really wish there was a Tales from the Trench type series for Heroes of the Storm

A Defiler.

>Cloud that blocks skillshots
Can you imagine the sheer asspain it could cause.

>sneak to the enemy keeps
>cast plague
>win
nerfs when?

Lurker.

Yes.

They caused asspain in the source material. It's only natural that translates over.
