They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

...

We wanna start taking bets on Probius' winrate?

47

45%, then crawling up to 48%
i expect buffs to the turret duration, maybe slight health and/or aa damage increases

3 most fun thing in the game:

3rd Hyperagressive Anub'arak
2nd Hyperagressive Tyrael
1st Hyperagressive Muradin

>valla+tass vs bad players

>i first pick anub
>enemy team go full retard and go all auto attackers
>they forget i can stun them multiple times while cocooning their most valuable player

so, these are the people crying about the tank specializing. idiots that think armor makes the hero. easy wins are easy wins

sonya
sonya
sonya

Doesn't even come close to the unpeelable machines of death any of those 3 become lategame

I tried this back in Alpha and I loathed it. Downloading it again out of boredom, has much changed?

preeetty much everything. They put out content/balance patches every 2-3 weeks now, so the meta is in a nice shifting place

depends
why did you loathe it

anyone EU want to do 10 TL matches with me? pls, anyone, someone PLS

>warhead junction
>medivh never joined game so we have bot
>it sits in bottom lane in raven form 90% of match not moving
>will occasionally get a nuke and then hand it to enemy team
>enemy team gets boss we have no bottom fort left
>core gets to 5% and we wipe them
>5 nukes come up
>we get the nukes and rush to their core which was open
>medivh bot nukes their bot fort
>we lose because their dehaka and their val ran to our core and took down shield+5%
>their core was at 7% after nukes and 2% when we lost
>fucking medivh ai nuking forts

i kinda want to say yes but i just got home and i'm dead tired and would lose you all the games and i need to work
sorry user

It's changed a lot. Minions deal 100% more damage to structures, making pushers and map control via mercs more valuable, stats and stat scaling were reworked so the game moves faster at an earlier level, death timers increased in the early to mid game by a bit, objectives in general are more important (As a result of the minion changes, really), this game is also noticably VASTLY more bursty. God, there's so much fucking stupid burst in this game it's unbelievable. Compared to Alpha, Alpha seemed more slow and methodical.

Health gloves also give... fuck, what is it? Like 13% max health and 8% of your max mana over the duration of it's heal, but they also disappear MUCH faster. So they're much more valuable now.

>has much changed
Yes.

>will I still loathe it
Probably.

Oh yeah and Resurgence of the Storm was removed from the game entirely a long time ago. Bolt of the Storm has slowly been getting worked out of the game, thank jesus fucking christ our lord and savior. Fuck Bolt in it's stupid fucking ass.

I cannot recommend this enough - /join tryteamleague if you still want to do quick placement matches for the rewards. People on there are generally friendly and willing to go through a bunch of matches.

The time to kill was extremely slow to me and it felt like everybody could just ran away with the normal movespeed. It really bothered me. desu I hope it really is as bursty as you guys say.

>desu I hope it really is as bursty as you guys say

be careful what you wish for

mounts were slowed down for everyone
there exists so much fucking burst and stun and slow in this game right now it's ridiculous
if those were your only issues give li ming a shot once you're done downloading
she'll be on free rotation this week i think

i did but nobody is responding unfortunately :'^(

doesnt matter your skill level honestly, you're probably better than me anyways (silver 1 HL here)

>tfw wont get the gold and mount

>EU
sry senpai

Brightwing is cute.
CUTE

Groom Anub when?

THREADLY REMINDER
Your pale ass white girl has gotten BLACKED numerous times by the all superior BBC
Y'all white bois won't ever lay a finger on this bitch

Rexxar rocks!!!

Who wants a broken coalburner that would probably kill herself given the correct word anyway?

Gazlowe is a ripped, muscular SEX GOD who sweats pheromones like waterfalls and make female heros ovulate within a 1000 miles radius of him. He possesses the ultimate weapon of conquest, which can claim even entire forts without a single turret having to be placed - the Big Gazlowe Cock!

When weak assassin bois see a Gazlowe coming, they naturaly lower their defenses and forfeit in submission, knowing full-well how completely and utterly powerless, frail, in-need-of-fountain, utility pleb wrecks they are in comparison to Gazload and his BGC.

No matter how much you autistic cuckolds here on /hotsg/ bitch and moan, tiering and ranked play dictates that other specialists get weeded out of play by more powerful skilled Gazlowes !

Good thing I have the superior waifu

i dont know why i can't win as lucio. my team is always so shit when i pick him. give them great opportunities for picks with my q. never die. yet they are just plain retarded. maybe he only has a high winrate in masters? it seems like only rehgar and malf are retard team proof

you know if you ping the bot it will follow you around, right?

i wonder whos behind this post

No, he has a high win percent at every MMR, at least according to Hotdogs. Like, top five.

>play more
>git gud

You cant even come up with new OP picture ? You lazy fuck

I have a 90% winrate on him in QM
maybe you're just bad?

at least it's not or the same "where can i find you x" for the fourth time in a row

oh, so my team is trash. good to know.

>qm

kys

BLIZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD

>tfw matchmaking just decides to fuck with you

ended it 20-0 so wasnt worst match by far but it was retarded they should classify tass into the meme picks like aba tlv and medivh if they want to fuck him up like they did and then remove him from the support category for MM

Towers of Doom is by far the worst fucking map in this game.

>of all the retarded, bullshit maps in this game he picks towers

I just really really cannot stand the fucking merry-go-round tower shit.

>tfw no veto/blacklist option

I just don't want to play Blackheart's Bay or Haunted Mines again.

Not that guy, but one could easily make the argument that a higher winrate in QM means just as much as a higher winrate in HL due to not having control over the scenario in which you play that hero. Generally you only pick a hero when they fir both into the team you're on AND fare well against the opposing team.

Tass is nearly perma banned where I am, my man.

>5k points for gm
wtf

>tfw no one wants to team league queue

>that horrible horrible comp

2 hybird supports, 1 mobile healer, puller and derp. yeah no wonder.

brightwing x chromie = otp

but they're both girls???

Why can't I stop it, /hotsg/? ;_;

He was always there for me but now when he needs me I can't do anything ;_;

First the light abandoned Uther and now this

Imagine for a moment
TLV, Abathur, Samuro, Rexxar and Chen all on one team.
Total people in teamfight: 3+3+2+3+3 = 15 people

>living bomb

vs sonya, permanent healing
also abathur may only count as 1

INFINITE healing. I've had a long day

What if

Li Li, Tyrande, and Uther's were reworked

and they healed %HP baseline?

Uther rework when?
I want to aid my teammates in battle but I can barely keep up with the heals and his damage is close to negligible.

>Abathur

Why not just a hero that spawns a minion like Jaina, Kerri, or Zeebo?

BUTCHER
IS
STRONG

heroesofthedorm.com/brackets

carry me you faggots

>top winrate

what happened?

Azmodan?

>Minion on his trait AND W, and Q if you talent for it

Aba can clone samuro to add 3

Fatties would be unstoppable.

Hasn't the fellow had a top 5 win rate at almost every mmr for a while now?

yes

he has a 3 second stun

Nothing. He always was good, all shitters just start "maining" fury Varian and Valeera, leaveing him alone.

Treasure Goblin hero when?

I would fucking love a Treasure Goblin hero.

>Jaina
>spawning minions
Water Elemental has got to be in the Top 5 of worthless heroics in the game right now. Why even acknowledge its existence?

>Kerrigan
>Zeebo
They are heroics, and have an uptime of less than 5% unlike the others listed.

I just want a map the size of Blackheart's Bay or Nuke Silo but without such shitty awful PVE map objectives.

Speaking of Treasure Goblin, any ideas when the mount will be returning? It was the best gold mount

This fucking "Loot" system thing better include the ability to unlock past home screens upon login. I want the best loading screen back.

youtube.com/watch?v=uZf3walP9Fs

Hopefully never. I never got it, but I don't like recycling limited time mounts like that. It makes them much less special.

right, it'd be funny to look at that's for sure. also nova when she had 2 clones

>make a pvp map
>make it fucking huge
???????????

Kerrigan ult can last forever after level 20. also azmo and arthas ults

*hoooornhornnnn*

*DRUMDRUUMDUMUDRMUDDUMRU*
*CLAP*

Troll music is the fucking best.

...

>This fucking "Loot" system

The what now?

one of the teaser features from around blizzcon time

clans, voice com, unlocked leveling system, etc all incoming soon (tm)

Poor lil' dead boii

>5v5 Azmodan only brawl on a single lane map

>Z: Treasure Goblin does not mount, however whenever the Treasure Goblin is within vision of the enemy team, he gains movement speed, this movement speed bonus increases the closer an enemy hero is to the Treasure Goblin.

>Trait: Whenever friendly or enemy minions die, or when friendly or enemy heroes take damage, they drop shards of armor and weaponry that the Treasure Goblin collects and uses as a resource for his abilities.

Oh.
So, no chance of getting skins that way then, huh?
That sucks but I get it, it would sort of deprecate the whole thing.

>tfw no hextech crafting system

I'd be incredibly happy even if you were able to unlock new tint slots for mounts and heroes and their skins.

friends girlfriend wants me to play this shit with them, whats the sluttiest looking character/skin combo?

I hope we get new color palettes regardless of how we need to get them tbqh
Master Tyrande looks absolutely gorgeous but instead of the white skinned/white haired version available for her default we got this bright pink abomination.

Why, user?

I want a brawl where everyone plays gall heads on an AI cho.

>cho'brawl

dream chromie
succ kerrigan
sex goddess tyrande
star booty li ming

Or 2 people on each team plays as Gall with the other half a "blind" Cho (they can't see the screen but can see pings/map). 5th player gets a support/Aba
