these are pretty much how all of my losses have gone this season. its like clockwork
>have two levels over them the entire game
>win three objectives in a row
>destroy them in the level 10 fight
>get 16
>two people run off to a completely useless camp without clearing lanes and waiting for team to reset
>die and objective spawns
>lose 3v5 and they push our mid down because death timers
i can see it coming too but it's like there's no way you can tell them it's a bad idea

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

>play two QMs
>both are pretty much lost on loading screen
When will they fix the matchmaking?

>nobody noticed the massive stealth buff butcher got
this kills the vikings

never because it's an absolute meme queue? i'm pretty sure a couple seasons back blizz actually said they weren't ever gonna do anything

Sure, hit me up on those buffs.

Guys, this new UI is job fucking well done. I can't believe it hasn't been the UI since launch. It's just that logical.

>take boss on sky temple without enemy team noticing
>enemy team are clustered around mid fort and we're a talent tier up
>they're somehow injured, we're mostly uninjured
>we can wrap around and collapse on them and probably win a teamfight right here
>ping head up with team
>except malfurion and muradin who wordlessly fuck off to help the boss push
>the boss already has siege camps supporting it
>only barely survive the fight and win a fucking 3v5 because of a godly Horrify and the enemy thrall having the biggest vagina between his legs
Game was nearly thrown right fucking there because of "hurr we're gonna do this instead of following the team".

Forgot to mention it was OUR Mid fort they were clustered around trying to take down.
So if we popped out behind them, especially with a Horrify, they were stuck between a rock and a very hard place.

>Towers
>Get 3 picks for our 2 lost in a team fight
>some asshole pings boss
>not even level 10
>they both go for it, even started it without me
>waste 30 seconds before we have to back
Horseman is too fucking tough at early levels without the right comp.
Just get keeps.

>go fo an engage without 2 people there
>engage instead of your tank
You're supposed to follow your tank, not the other way around

We didn't realize until too late that Muradin and Malfurion had wordlessly fucked off on their own.
It was a 5 second walk between boss and them.

>somehow don't realize you're only 3 and your engage isn't there so you engage on your own
You 3 were throwing, even when it was the correct decision to go for a fight there

>push side lane with the boss
>they obviously see it and now you have to play the siege game without even being able to end most likely
versus
>let the boss eat a little xp and go mid
>wipe them
>send people to get a free push with the boss
>send one or two to clean up and push the lanes for even more xp and stack pressure with the bruisers

seems dumb to me

We pinged and moved towards the enemy team, Malf and Mura were moving with us until they just turned the fuck around and ran to bot lane.

The majority rules in HotS regardless.
It's better for 5 retards to do something than 4 retards and a lone wolf.

>brawl
>everyone is Tyrande

What the fuck is the new Gazlowe build? hotslogs doesn't make any sense for him, it is a bunch of random talents and the carousel is showing complete nonsense.

well if i was the only one trick gazlowe in GM i would probably pick random shit and mess up the data for memes too

>towers of doom
>I'm muradin
>we win early game despite having a king feeder zuljin
>way ahead in both shots and xp
>they're 11, we're 12 1/2
>temple phase coming up soon
>enemys go to push bot as 5 without sappers
>we were on all lanes, I'm top and go mid everyone else goes bot
>tell my team to not fight and that I'm doublesoaking
>get 13 but king feeder dies and gets someone else killed
>still get the temples
>the fucking same thing happens right before we're at 16, 3 of us go push in top without sappers and king feeder dies
>enemy team pulls out a lead, gets even on towershots
>they get 20 when we're 18
>it happens a third fucking time, king feeder gets himself killed right before 2 temple phase, we're at 11 core but each shot counts 2
>decide there's no way to win except if I get a 1on1 fast
>force engage on their kerri but their team is close and collapses on me
>pull out all cds and survive for a bit, they ultimatively kill me and get both shots before king feeder is up
>team blames me for throwing when we literally had to win a 4v5 against 20 there to not lose
>king feeder at 8 or 9 deaths sends me fuck you whisper after game
At master mmr too.

>What the fuck is the new Gazlowe build?
Pick a better hero as your first talent, then build around that.

What's wrong with it?

I hope you're not suggesting the game mode that lets you pick any hero without any foresight, knowledge, or planning of the opposing team's picks, or even your own team's picks should be designed to always match you perfectly against the people you counter.

>turn off chat because losing spree
>win all games
>can't say gg and wp when team plays really well
eh

He has no coherent "build" anymore, they broke the turret synergies and the lazor synergies.

Damn it. I mean, I ended up doing the most popular build with Gravo instead of Robo and it was... okay. It actually felt better than old Gaz a bit (I never did bomb or lazer build).

What sucks is despite my turrets being great, they still die to two AAs from any decent damage dealer. Like a quarter charge Zarya was melting them.

Haha, very good. QM tho.

Make a turret build. Hold ground in lanes and take camps.

There, that's all.

STOP PLAYING CHOGALL HE'S SHIT

So, still avoid trying to hit enemy heroes with AAs?

Is Regen Master really the best choice? That bothered me the most.

PREPARE FOR TROUBLE

>Trying to level Liming
>Everyone playing Chogall
Welp

why is bhb so fucking big
>def mercs hitting keep bot
>enemy team doing boss top
>rotate top
>open bottle of water
>take a few sips
>barely ship in mid
>keep walking top for another 15 sec

>Picking a hero before being matched with people
>Game matches me with a team with no tanks against an enemy with 2 tanks and 3 ranged DPS/burst
This is a fucking mistake. They tried to look different than LoL at the price of balance.

Why has 4 man wall rush not become a thing yet?

lol had something called team builder, where you assembled your team before queuing
don't know if it's still in

Every lol queuing aside from aram has a team builder.

EVERY MOBA HAS A FUCKING TEAM BUILDER FOR RANKED AND UNRANKED

too much coordination

Are you calling characters like Sonya tanks? They changed that recently.

>queue up for any unranked mode in lol
>it takes 10 minutes to find a game because nobody picks support ever
>5 people forget to accept the queue
>5 more people dodge the queue
>finally get into a game but some idiot is basically int feeding because 'its just a normal xDDD'

ill take bad comps in qm any day

I'm actually afraid to play anymore after losing 7 in a row due to teams (comp or otherwise) being bad.
What do

play brawl

i would play the shit out of it but theres no reward or incentive so its dead after the first day.
that said, good idea. It'll make me less salty

Is there actually an Uther rework coming soon?

>tfw you lose every engagement but it's okay because Azmodan's demons are pushing down their keeps and they just ignore it because they're obsessed with murdering you
Why does this keep fucking happening to me

Yes, it was confirmed on leddit.
reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/5zrt0t/hello_rheroesofthestorm_weve_brought_in_our_live/df2arqa/?context=1
tl;dr/I'm a tribalist internet faggot who won't click a link:
>a little info about Uther. He's going to have more frequent self-healing without sacrificing his ability to save others, have the ability to provide short bursts of Armor to allies, and will have an entire tier at level 7 that is built around countering disables in different ways.

i can't fucking stand this retarded parry build
they need to nerf that shit, remove protected please

i just made a smurf
fuck playing unranked

Wait, so they gutted the stun, making him have fuck-all CC and now you want the other talent nerfed despite it being trash earlier?

Never play ranked on weekends.
If you must, take 5 minute breaks between each game.

The real question is who's the next hero that's coming out?

KelThuzad or Terrok

>Terrok
Who? No really who.

Is Kerrigan any fun?

Yes very. Get yourself a pocket Tass or Medivh for even more fun

An irrelevant bird.

Her combo and last hitting waves of minions is.

WIIIIINDS

A minor character in wod but people here and reddit keep asking for him for some reason.

I thought it was a meme, dip, etc.

No one actually wants him.

>when your Heroes of the Dorm bracket dies on the very first match

rip free Kerrigan

Which of these heroes should I buy next?
Lucio and Medivh are the only I dont have at level 5

Buy ur mom

buy
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Buy johanna with the spellbreaker skin.

lucio is all around the best
varian/johanna second
rest are all situational

Monk/Alarak/Lunara/Leoric depending on what role you like the best
After that Varian, Chromie, Medich and Lucio

>medich

>green
should own
>yellow
up to your preference
>red
mostly a waste of gold

t. wood

>Lunara
>waste of Gold

I'll fight you m8

>Lunara and Lt. Morales
>red
>Uther
>not red

Your opinions are shit but mostly accurate other than those three

Did Jo get buffed or something also the Spellbreaker skin not having a glaive is a dealbreaker

Jo has consistently been a power hero since her release, she has never fallen out of the meta.
Now is the weakest she's ever been, and only because she's now kinda bad at dealing with mages. (Truly ironic for the spellbreaker skin)
Better than ever at dealing with attackers, though.

>(Truly ironic for the spellbreaker skin)
Blizzard sure loves comedies

Survey time again /hotsg/
Have you spent money on skins/heroes/mounts?
If so, what did you buy?

In my case, I really like High Elves so I gave in and spent 3 bucks on Ranger General Sylvanas.
Pretty tempted to get Crown Prince Arthas too.

no
everything is so fucking expensive in this game

Knowing the hots team they might give us Prince thunderaan instead.

Lunara is terrible

Tilt in full effect here. 5 straight losses in my placements.

what about murmur

Murmur is a sound elemental, not a wind.

>not having the bottle of water open before the match starts

>implying Blizzard remembers Murmur
They still didn't add Therazane in hearthstone

What's the news on Uther rework?

Mei. Short ranged warrior

I've spilled stuff on electronics one time too often to know where that leads
rip PSP

Leoric, Alarak or Kharazim.

>that guy who hearths after getting a camp

>Thicc* ranged warrior.

I dropped my PSP in the toilet bowl at the airport still filled with diarrhea and motor oil and it worked after letting it dry in a bag of rice.

well, it wasn't water
it was a way more sticky and sugary soup-like drink

U AHR HEELED

DO NAHT FEER

imagine if a female belf's armor could look this good
i'd probably roll a paladin

Motor oil?

I have so many questions.

>turn on heroes of the dorm
>tomb of the spider queen
>the game has been going on for almost 30 minutes

Cornell was the favorite, but Bellavue pulled through

johanna having small breasts almost ruins her for me
but i'd be okay with a bikini/beach skin like stitches has

>third blackheart bay of the day
kill me

>Johanna in sports bra + spats
