Lucio has no escape you shitters, he's too easy to kill.
Adam Morales
Has anyone tested the meme team of Cho'Gall, Murky, Vikings, and Abathur? How'd it go?
Eli Walker
What kind of skin would you most want for your favorite hero?
I'm honestly pretty happy with Anub's base, but him having some kind of zerg skin with more flirty voice lines with Zagara would make me happy.
Also Diableah when?
Logan Morgan
But he can't escape! He just dies instantly every second he's alive and in the game, don't you understand!
You're bronze! BRONZE!!!
Kayden Edwards
Why does baleog look like ben stiller with tits, and why does erik she got his/her face smashed in?
And why is Olaf my new waifu?
Jaxon Jones
I will start a Lili fanfiction Tumblr /hotsg/
Justin Robinson
xth for putting Lucios on suicide watch with Temporal Loop.
Asher Adams
A Sonya skin that isn't ugly would be cool
Gabriel Parker
Include lots of bestiality and anub or zag or aba parasiteplay
Zachary Cook
>Tfw you have all those heroes to 10. Feels good man
Thomas Evans
I want a spacelord Sonya good guy skin with some blue lightsaber swords or something. Would b coo.
Oliver Young
What Sonya has one of the best master skins and her other skins are nice too
Joseph Garcia
The skin is not the problem, she is just fucking ugly
Josiah Robinson
Do NOT bully Sonya!!!!
Hudson Lewis
I'm interested in this game, downloading it at the moment while looking at tutorials and shit. The tier list in the OP caught my eye though: how big is the gap between the "Not optimal" tier and the others? Kinda disappointed to see Arthas there tbqh
Arthas is good, only retards would think he's suboptimal.
Evan Scott
In Quick Match? And on low level? Irreleveant. Relax and enjoy
Samuel King
That list is mostly for Hero League, where the meta is a lot of mages and other tanks; Arthas is best against melee assassins, or ranged attackers like valla.
Consequently, quick match is currently filled with melee assassins.
Adam Wood
WHEN is it, /hotsg/ said yesterday reee. I've been waiting all WEEK.
Caleb Kelly
It's tuesday you batter beating butter bastard
Adrian Rogers
But user... if you feel this way, why are you in this general?
That makes sense, so the higher rated Heroes are well rounded but others can still perform certain jobs better, thanks for the input.
Cool, will do. I figured as much; the closest thing I have played to a MOBA is Overwatch, and at the low levels there isn't much a difference between character tiers either.
William Cooper
I can't wait that long
Robert Wood
>Arthas is good
Jaxson Jones
Great, I'll check him out then. Still, I'll follow the OP's recommendation and try all the heroes I can during the free rotations before actually buying one.
Aaron Wright
He's fine. He only needs minor buffs but he has his role and he's good at it.
Even if I wish he had a different kit.
Isaac Ortiz

David Watson

Isaiah Jones
> the closest thing I have played to a MOBA is Overwatch You're starting with the right game then -You've got a lot to learn, but two general tips that help a lot: When you auto-hit, there's a small frame where you need to charge your next autohit; use that downtime to move instead of just standing or following automatically (stutter-stepping)
-You can use your body to block the enemies path, its especially effective in this game compare to something like League of Legends (bodyblocking)
Jordan Jones
uther's rework is coming out next hero release lucio+uther is going to be the new meta and it will be really really horrible to play against
Gavin Evans
>Quick Match Platinum 41423 (MMR: 2018)
Aiden Sullivan
What kind of kit would you want him to have?
Brandon Thompson
Honestly I think Arthas should get re-made. His model isn't bad, but he kinda looks like a doofus. There's nothing really frightening about his kit either, he's mostly just a sliding ice-block. He doesn't really live up to the legend
Brody Barnes
>waiting 5 extra minutes to play because ???
Carter Garcia
I want Leoric and Arthas to go on a journey of self discovery and crippling depression together
Dominic Thomas
If Kel'Thuzad would somehow find his way in the game, what would be his second skin? Necromancer or Archmage?
Alexander Moore
His kit is fine and cute and fun but his model and all his skins are atrocious.
Sebastian Ross
That seems fitting to me, since I always thought his presentation in Wrath was kind of underwhelming.
Matthew Campbell
>Bronzies are still saying Murky is S+ tier >Bronzies still think March is the better heroic
Angel Thomas
If Kel'Thuzad gets into the game, I want him and Xul to become chums.
Cameron Ramirez
That sounds useful. Thanks for the advice m8
Aaron Cook
Reminder that as soon as we leave the stunlock meta we will enter Lucio cancermeta.
Nicholas Moore
What is the most fun class and why is it tanks? >lead your team >engage when the time is right >your whole team is depending on you, following you around >servicing out of position enemy heroes to your bros on a sliver platter >cc out of the ass >you can solo most squishies >bodyblock for days >peel for your team and save their asses >tank mage skillshots all day every day

Luis Turner
Kazeindel here guys, I'll be holding a battle.net cash card raffle tomorrow. Probably around 10-12 central, somewhere in there.. If I don't forget. Who wouldn't want free Blizzard Shekels?
Nathan Parker
literally who
Ian Hernandez
^this
Dominic Fisher
D-don't tell everyone, user~
Connor Butler
I don't post in the threads too often, but every so often I hold raffles and give away blizzard balance cards. I'm the Abathur autist of VG pretty much.
Almost always the case but yeah of course it "depends" because theres that 3% of scenarios where its not the case
Grayson Rodriguez
It literally always depends on map and enemy comp. That's all drafting is.
Elijah Hughes
yeah ok *picks illidan, butcher and greymane and dives ur helpless backline*
John Sullivan
*sanctis u* *holy grounds u* *imposing wills u*
Michael Barnes
What the fuck do you do as Tyrael in fights besides ult your teammates to save their asses?
Lincoln Roberts
Man, Anub just needs to not run out of mana instantly.
My fucking team kept starting fights before even activating the Shrine, we would all run out of mana and then we'd try to do shrine. Impossible.
Jaxon Nguyen
is tyrael a tank or a bruiser an intruguing question philosophers have pondered about for years
in the end the answer is he's nothing without sanctification or holy ground so you'll lose before 10
unless it's some map where the gates are close enough to prevent mass diving like that
Levi Kelly
You dish out dmg, slow the enemies down and grant your allies shields and movement speed. You're also supposed to jump on out of position enemies and bodyblock them to death which is easy thanks to your e. Also offensive sancts beat defensive ones.
He's both and you're bronze. He has very strong dmg for a tank, 2 slows and movement speed for his allies. Also literally the most mobile tank in the game so you shouldn't ever die except when you suicide to get your trait off. Early game your trait is supposed to make you trade evenly and late game you're a monster with more slows than anyone could ever ask for.
Tyler Gomez
yeah good luck saving your teammates from super duper dive mania with your pussy ass 150 health shields and 5% slows
your only hope is for that 1 healer to be malfurion and he lands some DOG roots
Jonathan Butler
>5% slows Try 50. Tyrael is literally one top 3 strongest tanks right now and if you don't see that then you're a literal bronzie with no understanding of the game nor it's heroes. Shit gets me mad, dumb fucks who honestly believe Tyrael is bad when he's insanely strong.
Julian Morgan
i bet you're plat
anyways heroes aren't always good nor always bad tyrael isn't a good choice for covering a weakish backline by himself compared to ETC or something and you know it
David Gutierrez
Is Tyrael unstoppable while warping to his sword like Sylvanas travelling to her wave?
Angel Hernandez
Anyone ever take possession on Sylvanas?
Nicholas Lee
Tyrael has no animation while teleporting like Sylvannas does, so there is no "during".
Noah Hill
Marry me queen of the slugs
Nicholas Kelly
GO BACK to your memes Gucci.
Jaxon Ortiz

Jaxson Smith
Memes tonight bae about 2 hours
Connor Lewis
You're not allowed to meme. Be there for the raffle tomorrow though for a chance at shekels you slut.
Luis Kelly
Will there ever be a good skin for Stitches or ETC? Both of them don't change the look at ALL, just glue more shit to them.
If they can make BW a monkey, Anubarak a mecha, they can make a decent skin for these bitches.
Logan Watson
I fucking hate the monkey skin for BW. And she's at 20 for me. Honestly her master skin and final coloring for it is the best.
Gabriel Price
>widowmaker skin for Nova How the fuck can they be so retarded? Widow is completely different from nova besides being a sniper, and they WILL have to add her to HoTS at some point, so that skin makes no fucking sense.
Samuel Ortiz
The fact they used "VG" and think they're the only autist shows it's either bait or new.
Landon Ward
Your waifu won't be in the game ever. Time to uninstall friend.
William Powell
monkey bw is seriously one of the worst skins in the game
Anthony Evans
What's wrong with ya'll?
I admittedly got Monarch BW, but I like skins that replace the character entirely.
Andrew Butler
I don't mind skins that replace the character, but Monkey BW has both an obnoxious sound and looks fucking stupid and unsettling.
Gavin Ortiz
>ban murky and varian >game is fun as fuck again
Zachary Morales
Gorefiend when?
Oliver Jackson

Charles Johnson

Brody Mitchell
everyone calling each other bronze
Thomas Russell
NO It's going to be a Guldanskin
Nathaniel Edwards

William Reed
It might be true, murky is 2nd most banned character in every bracket except bronze, he is like 10th. Rag is the first most banned
Isaiah Campbell

Angel Moore
Isn't there already a marine Stitches? Or do you mean a better one?
