>cho'gall x lucio team gets to level 16
>they win

hows your day going?

>Egg Hunt is OP
It's shit though?

>this is bait

right over your head i see

>your favorite guy will never be in this game

what's her name /hotsg/?

Lei Shen

Most likely Lady Vashj
But Thermaplugg will never be added and I'll be sad forever.

bets

Blue/your team should always win. Uther is shit, chromie takes way too much skill for most people, and same for abathur. Liming, valeera are super easy to use so you guys should never lose.

I thought that was a lego man for a second.

who /tendieboyz/ here?

Then again, he could be a skin for Varian.

>will never get to purge filthy inhuman shits with Garithos-sama

he deserves a better life than he got!

Hakkar.
I want to Corrupted Blood faggots.

If this game is not dead in two years lol they will almost certainly be in.

Iconic raid bosses are only second to important lore figures in terms of who is most likely to get in.

What if they're both?

Then they are consigned to the pit to languish for all eternity.

You overestimate my power to lose

What on earth happened there?

i am the biggest on all the dingos.

Don't think anything went right that game. Lucio was dropping ults on my clones, took the % hp heal, their Chromie and Abathur were amazing, Uther fucked me good, enemy Lucio had blind talent, etc.

Awful match, and Valeera was mad feed and I wasn't much better.

really impressed with how much they improved balance and the game overall

As they add new heroes, it will only get better. I feel like every time a hero is released and everyone freaks out that they are so strong, a few heroes down the line they fall off because they've been effectively balanced out by the newly introduced/reworked kits.

Sure there are outliers sometimes, and maps will always have some heroes who excel at their objectives, but the more shit in the game the better imo.

I just want
One quick match
That doesn't have 50 Zeratuls Novas and Valeeras
Just once

when???

who will be the next hero?

Nova skin

Me

That one Horseman who could still use the Light despite being dead.
Whatever happened to him?

>lei shen
nova skin

>lady vashj
>thermaplugg
nova skins

>meme character
kill yourself

>Garithos
nova skin

>literal fucking who
nova skin

>Hakkar
nova skin

How would you design a Hakkar kit?

Daily reminder. The most iconic villain in all of Warcraft.

>leoric's shuddery movements
Now that is fuckin spoopy.
I can almost hear his bones creaking.

>almost hear
So, you can't.

>guy picks Nova into Ragnaros, Artanis, Tyrael

why can't people like this be permabanned from the game?

>valeera has 20 coins
>tries to turn in alone
>doesn't even bother to check the bushes
>it's 100% obviousy the enemy team will be camping the chest since we have 20 coins
>gets exploded in a nano second
times likes these make me wish i had a social life so i had friends to play with instead of being matched with retarded autistic idiots constantly

Same but im also a retarded autistic idiot some times

Murky is completely out of control, holy fuck. Why did he get a rework?

murky on lvl 20 can 1v1 any hero easily even butcher

I'M SO FUCKING SICK OF FUCKING SKY TEMPLE, GOD DAMN IT BLIZZARD YOU MONGOLOIDS DELETE THIS STUPID RETARD CRAP ALREADY. LITERALLY 40% WINRATE WHEN I HAVE 50% ON EVERY OTHER MAP FUCK THIS PIECE OF SHIT SO MUCH.

Always its a balanced match but they end up having slightly better push/merc so they just get to stand on these FUCKING RETARD TEMPLES THAT YOU CANT DEFEND AGAINST THAT DO THE PUSHING FOR YOU. ALWAYS OUR FUCKING CORE GETS LASERED TO DEATH IM SO SICK OF IT.

DELETE SKY TEMPLE (and Blackheart's Gay), THIS SHIT IS SO RETARDED.

can i get a goodnight from dischotep
can i get a goodnight from dischotep

use more caps and maybe blizz will hear you.

is dischotep cute?

OKAY! IS THIS GOOD?

...

>skin for Varian
>not skin for Butcher, the actual retard diver with a cleaver

>You came to the wrong fukkin neighborhood.

Mengsk has more of a chance than nearly anyone.
A bunch of lines and ability names were datamined a long time ago.
It'll probably take them forevercough*Samuro but it's nearly guaranteed.

imagine all the work that went just into making mengsks model and animating his face
they should just to it live action and save millions

Oh, most definitely it's not a case of IF, it's a case of WHEN. But Blizz doesn't want to force characters that community wants over characters with fun and fitting kits. And they may just not be able to come up with a proper kit for him before the game dies, regardless of how much we want him in.

>Kerrigan's joke lines
>"Wait...aren’t I supposed to be human now? Make up your mind, Blizzard. Human. Zerg. Human. Zerg. Pick one!"
>Human Kerrigan
>"It is nice to be human again, but you really can't make up your mind, can you, Blizzard? What's next? A xel'naga?" (laugh) "That'd be hilarious."

I AM NOT FUCKING LAUGHING

>tfw LotV Artanis skin never

What is the best way of portraying him sitting on his ass all day?
Aba way: sit in spawn, global abillities
Gaz/Zag way: technically be on the battlefield, but never really actually engage with your body, just sit on backline and point fingers
Hammer way: just put him in a battlecruiser

>want to get a few QM in as Murky
>first game have a Jaina who didn't break 20k hero damage in 20 min
>second game have a Nazeebo who keeps disconnecting
>third game have a Sylv that didn't even do 50k siege damage and had only 25k hero damage in 22 min

Suffering.

That's what FotM deserve

One of his datamined abilities was called propaganda tower. Take a guess what that did.

vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/heroesofthestorm/images/8/8d/Kerrigan_Pissed09.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20150625172102

Lewd

Those names were datamined before Rexxar or maybe even Jaina were in the game. You can safely bet that if they even had a proper kit for him back then, it changed at least 3 times to this day.

Me dream is to gace 5 heroes like abathur in the game
Imagine matches where none of the players ever leaves the safety of the warpgate and play the match by solely using their long range abilities

What the fuck did I just fight
>haunted mines
>enemy team completely ignores objective
>just pushes
>pushes down both forts before we realize
>we pause in our skull collection and kill them all, finish the golem, push a little bit but they rez in time to hold it
>they immediately try pushing again
>we kill them all
>objective up again
>they ignore it again
>we surround them at keep and kill them all
>try and farm skulls
>they're back at our fucking keep before we even start the boss golem
>we kill them all AGAIN
>finish it, push with it, get a little further but they manage to rally just before their keep dies
>skirmish for a bit
>objective up
>we just pretend to go in the mines and grab a few skulls but have no intention of finishing it this time
>immediately ambush and kill them all as they try to waddle past the mine entrance and then just go kill their core

were these fucking robots I am so confused

Even the AI goes for objectives.

How do I get the stupid WoW mount? Can I just play AI games instead?

>How do I get the stupid WoW mount?
Play a Warcraft character in a party with someone you have friended.
>Can I just play AI games instead?
Yes, so long as you're in a party with someone you have friended.

For your next question
>how do I get stupid friends?
Type "/join General" to join the general chat, then say something like "LFG AI rush" or "LF WoW mount party", then someone with more initiative than you will invite you, and you can friend them, and rush the meager 15 games within 90 minutes.

>people actually taking Slime Time or Tufferfish over Living the Dream

Level 20:
>Slime Time: 30 Stacks
>Slime: 585
>Pufferfish: 899
>March: 55/tick
>Octograb: 300x3

>Tufferfish
>Slime: 460
>Pufferfish: 1214
>March: 55/tick
>Octograb: 300x3

>Living the Dream: 3 Stacks
>Slime: 530
>Pufferfish: 1034
>March: 63/tick
>Octograb: 345x3

Not to mention you pretty much always have Living the Dream up.

Slime still looks better.

>Not to mention you pretty much always have Living the Dream up.
implying

>entire team has died 4 times with 10 minutes

WHY IS QM SO SUFFERING

4 times in total or each one has died 4 times?

Each one had died 4 times.

kek

How good is azmo at soloing forts?

wtf was that drop

Who has the best hair /hotsg/

Valeera

or Nova

Provided no enemies are around? He's the absolute greatest.

If enemies are around, it depends on how willing he is to die.
If Azmodan is willing to die for the building, he is still exceptional.
Otherwise, he's better off pushing a bit and falling back.

This is why you'll always be bronze. LTD is shit and you disregard the extremely useful secondary effects.

"B-BUT M-MUH DAMAGE!!1"


Also
>taking AAST now
shiggy diggy

Taking down a fort is definitely worth a ding

I don't actually take AAST, I just included it for comparison.

Sure the extra slow on Slime Time is great, but how long does it take you to get to 30 stacks?

...

Valeera does. Nova wouldn't even be second place, Lunara would be. Unless you disqualify her for it not being real hair.

>9 game losing streak

what did i do to deserve this

you play hots

>want to do core rush in AI games to do the retarded quest
>instead of core rushing one lane those idiots always destroy all enemy forts firsts wasting tons of time
god damn fucking retards
we could be doing those retarded matches in 5 minutes instead of 15

you have to destroy and entire line of forts to do core you can't just kill two

What is best mount/skin for Master Valla?

Mechanospider Tint 2/Tint 2
Black, silver, and purple

>15 minutes
It's 10 at most unless your team is 5 assassins and can't do core without a wave.
If you play hammer you literally don't need a team to end game in 8 minutes against adept bots.

you can't play hammer because she isn't warcraft

Cairne.
JUST

it doesn't matter because i'm playing with idiots... they do objectives and defend our forts, i fucking begged them to stay in one group so they did we took out 2 forts in like 3 minutes and then instead of finishing the core they went for objectives and we wasted another 10 minutes
That mount better be fucking good.

It's Judgement Charger with flames painted on it to go faster. What are you expecting?
It's only 15 games, that's like 2 a day even if the even only lasts a week, which it normally lasts longer.

yes but youz are also getting the wow mount

>a fucking meme character got in before Cairne

Really makes you think.

>taking toxic buildup over slimy pufferfish

You know what? i'll take it, for all we know the most beefy and tanky hero in warcraft 3 is probably gonna turn into a fucking anti-mage joke, like anub'arak.

Eh I take it some times over Toxic Build up depending on enemy comp.

blizzard please his normal or dragoon version il take it.

>implying it won't be just Baine and his stand Cairne fighting together

I'm playing this hero but i'm finding him weak compared to other tanks.
Does he suck now?
