They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

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 !

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

When weak assassin bois see an Arthas coming, they naturaly lower their defenses and forfeit in submission, knowing full-well how completely and utterly powerful, beefy, in-need-of-mana, frost pleb wrecks they are in comparison to Arthas and his BFC.

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 Arthases!

Groom Anub and Bride Zagara when?

Hammer is FUN

Too bad that requires taking the vastly inferior Hammer Ult.

Chromie is a small, frail SEX GOD who sweats pheromones like waterfalls and make male heros erect within a 1000 miles radius of her. She possesses the ultimate weapon of conquest, which can claim even entire forts without an opponent entering her sight radius - the Big Bronze Dragon Vagina!

When weak assassin bois see a Chromie 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 Chromie and her BDV.

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

anonnnnnNNNNN

Hero/Team League Season 3 is basically over. Do your placement matches now if you want some gold and that mount.


Is there anything wrong with this statement?

it IS over
we 2017 season 1 now

Yeah. Assassins need that fountain after getting hit once by her massive sand.

and don't tell me you actually play on EUROPE

[Yoshi noises intensify]

it's basically over

Murky is a small, fish who sweats pheromones like waterfalls and make male and female heroes erect within a 1000 miles radius of her. She possesses the ultimate weapon of conquest, which can claim even entire forts without an opponent entering her sight radius - the Horn of Summon Fish!

When weak assassin bois see a Murky coming, they naturally 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 Murky and her cloaaca.

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

Murky is female?

don't misgender him

>tfw silver in both HL and TL
haha ill do better this season ´_>´

Have you tried believing in yourself?

I bought a skin, I have officially spent money on a F2P game. I feel dirty.

Help me choose the next hero I buy by ordering these in terms of usefulness /hotsg/

Sylvanas
Arthas
Uther
Chromie
Johanna
Rexxar
Lunara
Valeera

>paki doing anything useful
>ever

Think of it this way user:
How much would you have paid for Heroes of the Storm if it was not free to play?
Keep that amount in mind and don't spend more than that in cosmetics and I'd say you are still doing pretty well.

arthas

>tfw really really like the new UI

>been wanting to try Abathur for a while
>completely forget Probiscus is coming out soon and buy Abby
>every game I play Ab, there's always two Probii and the games take 30+ minutes
>always two autistic non-heroes on my team, me as Abathur and a Probidick

Fucking hell man

It's nice innit?

Only thing I don't like is how your name is shown in green.

>tfw still regret the five dollars I've spent on the game

Same. Just wish we were able to page the camera to teammates with a keybind, like F1. Or maybe we can and I just didn't see it.

If it wasn't free to play, it probably would've come with some heroes instead of 1 hero, maybe 2 if you got the referral Jimmy. Changes the question drastically.

at least you bought one of the best skins

>mfw spent over $120 on this game since open beta and regret nothing

I've spent 16€ on two 30 day stimpacks, one from the nexus bundle or whatever it was so I got a couple heroes too

All that money was from WoW gold though

>First game of the new patch
>Gazlowe, Probius and Abathur on my team

Hahahahaha, fucking kill me. Legitimately considering not playing at all for like two weeks. Every game so far has been full of Gazlowes, Probiuses and Anub'araks, and the fucking Anubs don't know how to fucking play Anub, as if it weren't bad enough aving Probius and Gazlowe on my team.

i only buy those in weekly sale so i won't feel that bad

Johanna
Sylvanas
Chromie
Arthas
Lunara
Uther
Rexxar
Valeera

Is it me or does the game feel a lot.. dumber after the last update?

>Dumbass Chogalls running around in every match on every team, feeding out the ass with these new bullshit talents

>Probius' trying to be cute and proxy build their turrets which die if you so much as SNEEZE on them

>Probius is literally just another burst mage

>Blizzard's spaghetti is all over the place after their failed attempt at making a Starcraft "builder" hero

>people are literally playing dumber because of all this area denial shitstorming all over the place

I think I'm done for a few weeks.

>Blizzard's spaghetti is all over the place after their failed attempt at making a Starcraft "builder" hero
huh? what happened

the game's been consistently getting worse for a while now

They should have just made him be a full on turtle hero. Like even worse than Gaz. Build build build build. Worthless on his own. I wanted to build a miniature Protess base or something.

>make builder hero
>make it a builder unit from an RTS, a game where you build your bases
>label him a specialist
>he's just a burst mage with a qw combo
>if you go any other build you are clinically ill

>supression pulse has a 50 sec cooldown
is this a joke
am i being bamboozled

oh i was referring to the spaghetti thing not the builder thing
it's blatantly obvious they messed up the builder part

nah dude burst mage

bruh i refuse to que for qm unless i get atleast two of you fuckos in, i had two horrible soul shattering games after the update and im litearlly getting ptsd right now

Jesus christ this fucking Probius trash is even worse than what we though, seriously the potential of this fucking meme hero is nothing in teamfights and if your tank is fucking garbage you can't do shit.

Murky, Gazlowe are much better than this fucking shit.

zarya hotfix 2.0 soon

What they should have done is made all of his abilities buildings, and made the Pylon be the cap of what you can build in them. Like one Pylon can power two cannons and no more. Maybe another ability could build something that produces units that push lanes.

There's no room in HoTS for a builder hero. They'd either be OP or worthless. Even Gaz builds more as a side effect instead of his main thing.

>Q: Same
>W: Barracks
>E: Cannon
>Trait: Pylon

who's that

>barracks
its gateway
also maybe add a talent tier for air or robo units

Something like this would work well. Pylons power 2 cannons or one barracks. So you could focus on building turrets and defending objectives, or just pushing the hell out of lanes. Maybe change his ults too. It'd be cool to summon an Immortal and have it defend a point.

Just fucking anything else than what we have.

They're literally never going to change his base abilities, you have to fix his kit with modifications to what's there now.

Only way they can fix it in my mind is moving power off W and making Q interact with EVERYTHING (super charge turrets/pylons).

...

is the only reason for chen's brewmaster balance being a talent that its too op at level 1?

>new hero week
>their probius good
>our probius bad
>their arthas good
>our arthas bad
>their chogall good
>our chogall bad
>etc

See you next week

whats wrong with etc?

chogall was already a guaranteed loss but during events it's even worse

I'm going to be honest user, if this happens in every single match then there is a possibility that this is just a simple case of ME OOGA TEAM BOOGA

Not every match, but it's obvious when it's a mirror match and their X is stomping and your X is solo bot during objective or some shit.

Probius' q should have summoned zealots. Two charges and they can gain shields from pylons. Talent could let Probius summon zealots globally at a pylon.

He's a probe though, they don't summon units they summon structures

I don't think building a gateway is super reasonable so just cut that part out. There's no unit in sc2 that credit itself more for the existence of zealots than the probe, so.

Only for you user.

tfw mvp with literal easiest hero in the game

Carried by team

You got it because you didn't die and that's it.

So is there a chogall quest out now or not?

Uther buffs when?

WHEN?
H
E
N
?

Gazlowe is my favorite hero, and Probius looks really fun.

Talk me out of dropping 15k on him.

He will be buffed and 10k next week

Chromie won that game for you.
Ming is the worst mage in the game, only good at killing 20%hp heroes.
Big numbers, but 0 impact by herself. Cannot carry games by herself.
If someone from my team first/second pick ming, I know straight away that i have to carry or we will lose the game. Same shit with Gaymane.

>40% win rate
>lol she's soo easy

I don't understand this meme.

Also that looks to have been mostly Chromie, desu.

Doesn't it take two weeks for the price to drop?

>muradin
>weak solo tank
nice meme
those clutch heals

>3 free low hp resets anytime from chromie
>orb build
lol

>carried by the entire team
>"tfw mvp with literal easiest hero in the game"
Bronze?

I like probius but he's a meme

What did you expect?
A probe hero did you really think he wouldnt be a meme like gaz or murky?

Life is a meme.

this li ming retard didn't need company

who /shopping for a gun/ here

>half combo mage
>half shittier gazlowe
>cute drone package

Mixed feelings.

Delete Probius
With Valeera

What talents are good on Probius?

YOU FORGOT PLAYED BY SHITTERS


PROBIUS STOP FEEDING ATGHJTRH?SERKLJYHRSLTNH

>medivh should portal in maiev and leeroy jenkins. epic ulti!
no. you and the other dumbfuck wowtard redditors suggesting shit like zealots and carriers for him need to be slapped into next week

I've been going rift build, because i need to practice landing those combos anyway. Null Gate seems far and away the better ult, because I've yet to have many teamfights where I actually have two pylons in range of the other team, and that slow is so effective it might as well be a root.

I don't even

Is Probius almost as bad as release Lunara? It feels like it.

This is the worst fucking release week I have ever experienced. I cannot fucking stand these garbage ass Probius and Gazlowe duo queues.

>it's a probius gazlow cho'gall premade episode

Every QM right now

>Probius
>Chogall
>Tazdingo
>+1

We have two butchers two probes and a chogall in this game, no bingo here.

can tass solo support in gold and plat ?

>mfw Zul'Jin free week

No

>not a perfect loop

Any drawfags? In dire need of Jaina, Nova, Chromie, Johanna, Sgt. Hammer, and Valeera all having a comfy sleepover together. :3
