1st for forever Diamond 3

Make a drink themed after a hero

I take Li-Li.

It's green tea.

Woah, am I good or what?

IS IT THAT FUCKING DIFFICULT TO LINK THE PREVIOUS THREAD

>guy just sitting at DK waiting to jump in
>as he watches the entire team die because he won't help with the actual team fight

why do these people exist

seriously go back to fucking WoW

How good i lucio when playing with qm shitters? (i only play qm) is he any good?

Can I get some advice for Xul talents?

Settle down autismo

dorito flavored root beer with a hint of feet

Standard builds vs solo split build

That's Chen tho.

NO YOU SETTLE DOWN

Sulfuras Smash
1 part Absolute Peppar
1 part Fireball whiskey
1 part Chinese snake wine
1 part Moonshine
Serve lit on fire.

>IT'S RETARD TEAM COMP TIME!
n-no matchmaker please NO

Lightlord Ragnaros when?

The Jaina
Basically a mojito but with Blue Curaco instead of rum. Add a dash of Creme de Menthe for an extra cool.
Serve alongside a list of all your crushed hopes and dreams and a picture of the bully who pushed your head into the toilet with his face shooped onto Garrosh's body.

>abathur on your team
Sorry for your loss.

Rate my hero selection
>mfw 400 games in hots

The Uther:
Take one bottle of fine Scotch. Must be aged at least 25 years.
Pour into chilled rocks glass.
Serve.

solo split Xul also uses mages; better defense in case they gank you

The Valla
1pt Vodka
3pt Black Sambucca
Shaken and served with rocks and garnished with lemon

Yeah, for the most part.

Skeletons for solo, also consider the backlash damage and amplify for dueling.

Zeratul
Green Absynth
Blueberry juice
Irish cream for the "cloud" effect

Lightly stir
Optional: add a dash of sallac

Level up that Lucio.

What would be the second skin for Kel'Thuzad?
Necromancer or Archmage?

Probably neither because the base model will be a lich.

Vanilla would be his undead lich form
Master skin would be Kirin Tor KT
Purchasable skin would be the WC3 KT you linked

How do you know it's Kel'Thuzad?

Ethereal

true
so everything else would be a legendary skin, because new animations etc.

we won with 36 core integrity, they got zero altars and only once stole boss from us
It was a joke game nobody had any damage, once we focued zuljin they were fucked and had to run which was no good because good luck running from lucio powered team

The Gul'dank
Pour:
1 part Midori Melon Liqueur
1 part Hypnotiq
1 part Smirnoff Sours Green Apple
1 part Absinthe
into tall glass
Stir
Top off glass with Mountain Dew.

wow wall riding with lucio is a massive chore, he gets stuck constantly

>when you get to play a full bruiser mura build
>bruiser as fuck
>zoning half their backline on your own while being unkillable
>when you get a give em the ax procc running
>literally smacking the living shit out of everything
>some poor soul tries to stand up to you
>mop the floor with them
>some tank tries to be cheeky and stand in front of you
>slap them to death instead

Mountain Dew + Absinthe
>FTFY

Valeera:
-one part pure methanol
-one part bleach

too slow

Terra Nova
- One cocktail glass with clear, cold, flavored vodka of choice,
- Chase with a shot of room-temp 151 for both.
- Smack your head on the ground.

You probably make some animal flavored drink (Lili?Chen?) out of this, considering that animals get drunk from the marula fruit.

I'm so getting tired being matched daily vs the same fucking 5 man stack. It's been 5 days in a row, same fucking enemy, 5 solo vs 5 stack. And worst, 2 consecutive games vs the same group. What the fuck blizzard?

Stimpack:

Ingredients:1 cl Bols Blue1 cl Safari Liqueur1 cl Vodka
Directions: Shake all ingredients and pour into a shot glass.

What region?

dedgame

>its a team blows their whole load on Protected Varian episode
I'm not sure if the Warbringer changes were really a nerf outside Master League.

no one in lower leagues played Warbringer anyway

Today i'll prove that Personal Adjustment -40 is a real thing. Next match will be deciding if this is a 10th loss streak or it breaks the curse

I tried a game where i swapped warbringer for the immune during parry talent yesterday and it actually worked out pretty well. Sucks not being able to charge as often but i feel like i can go ham on an enemy with no regard now. Atleast until both parries are on cooldown.

you and me both

im playing mostly support and some warrior and my teammates keep doing questionable plays which end up fucking me


whats the point of having Diamond MMR if you're going to be ranked with fucking bronze decision making?

Playing support is a huge mistake, no matter what you do, you always get to see people go in solo, ignore objectives, get ganked, start flaming and when things are looking a little bright then someone DCs

I'm not sure whether I agree with you. Auriel is the reason I climbed so quickly but I rarely support anymore now.. hmm

>Playing support is a huge mistake


Should i be maining assassins for victories?

Low ranks play Xul or Zagara

>diamond mmr

The illidan

Cum in a glass, let sit 10,000 years, drink it see if you're prepared

Well, are you?

Tyrande Whisperwind

Elune's Chase

1 oz Cenarion Spirits
3/4 oz Moonglow
3/4 oz Darnassian apple juice
3/4 oz Melon Juice Schnapps
Garnish with a leaf from the top of Teldrassil's highest branches

I'll let you guess why I chose MELON juice

And this is how a 10th Loss streak look like. -40 Personal Adjustment from it

stop playing that shitty hero

We need more dragons in the game and I'm not talking about dragons in there "human" form (Chromies guise is a gnome, but you get what I mean).
Deathwing, Alexstrasza, Ysera and so on in there dragon from.
Scaling shouldn't be the problem, just look at Sgt. Hammer

Ill never play Support again in Hero League thats what ill do

cause it restores mana?

>Scaling shouldn't be the problem, just look at Sgt. Hammer
Or Azmodan. Or Ragnaros.

I'd play the shit out of Deathwing but I NEVER want to see his shit human form in HotS, EVER

If anything the only likelihood is that they would be in their guise and take on dragon form when they ult. Any other concepts for Deathwing or Alexstrasza are delusions


good guess! being a priestess of the moon and firing sentinels all day really puts the oo in oom

just look at League
it's working there

give em w0t 4

and than we're just getting /taunt as the only glimpse of the dragon
>justlikechromie.jpg

boop

Boop.

But that's a created character, they can make the dragon 20 feet or whatever that is. Deathwing is like 100 feet. A midget in a tiny tank is one thing, it's not too much of a stretch. Deathwing would be destroyed as a result of scaling this severe.

why dont people play arthas more

look at Ragnaros and Azmodan are working just fine

The problem with Hots is they have to take characters that already exist and copy the looks from the blizzard universe, rather than creating interesting new characters. HotS is just an ad game for other blizzard product.

I do wish they had more creative freedom, but people scream and shout when characters like Lunara or Brightwing are introduced because they didn't exist in the blizzard universe before.

weak off-tank.

Arthas into melee comps
Anub into caster comps

they had to cheat a little with the fact that he's ethereal below "waist" so he looks proper without having ridiculous long hitbox.

Malygos or Kalecgos with an aura that increases teams spell damage would be amazing

But you notice that Rag gets closer to his actual size when he uses his trait. They did that for a reason because obviously it's what the character actually represents.

Similarly, if we get a scaled down Deathwing, he will absolutely have some sort of map-rending ability, and, will turn into what his size ought to be to do so.

>when you do the same thing with Arthas 3 games later

just chop off his tail :^)

>lose 2 games because outplayed
>lose 10 because outdrafted since every fucking time there's a retard on our team who can't draft in masters
>lose another 2 because there's retards who go shit builds
>bronztrosity

>diamond division.

>Zagara on cursed hollow
lmao

Jesus christ I am still stuck in master as a crusader. Can someone advise me on skills and gems?

...

If you're only level 60 just drop down to expert and get to 70. Monster scaling can be weird leveling up, especially in the range you're in right now. Once you hit 61 craft as much new gear for yourself as you can and it should last you to 70 just fine.

What about gems? I replaced all of my diamond ones with strength ones before and it seemed to do almost nothing to my damage, so I just put the diamond ones back.

Keep the best ruby you have in the helm for xp bonus, other than that it really doesn't make too much difference. Item level is probably a bigger factor for you right now

Haha you wasted time reading this, fag.

We actually have won.

>Lying by omission

>qm

:^)

>Deathwing as a warrior with a fuckload of health, armor, and a firebreath for minion waves, but his single target damage has no real burst
>One ultimate is some super-tank mode ult where he's stupidly hard to kill and causes a big explosion when the armor/shield breaks
>The other ult he channels before flying into the air in full dragon mode for a few seconds, everyone can only see his massive shadow as he rains down death and destruction and rends the very ground, barely passable damage, great visibility, some of his abilities apply slow effects due to earth shattering effects
>Then the level 20 Cataclysm talent makes the duration longer, and all of his abilities in dragon mode break the ground making impassable terrain or damaging terrain

is medivh fun if i solo qm?

fuck no

>diablo shitters
