Is Tyrael saved as an Anti-Mage now?

2. for based Tyrael, I cry everytime

>smite now tickles under specific circumstances

no smite is still shit

>Shields on Death
>Damage on Death
>Globe talent
Still the best option :D

>Butcher doing less Hero damage than our Uther

Uther has that W poke though. Of course a ranged hero will have more hero damage than a melee hero, but it's all meaningless damage.
Butcher did damage when it mattered.

>smite is shit
???
It's literally one of the hardest hitting tank spells in the game, even without any talents. The only tank abilities that do more damage, as far as I know, are Deathcoil, Diablo's charge into wall and Lion's fang. And except for Deathcoil it's all by a really small amount.

With the 1 talent it even does more dmg than Sonya's seismic slam. It becomes the hardest hitting tank spell in the game. The only warrior ability that does more is Artanis' twin blades.

Bridal Zagara when?

When's the next in dev video boiis?

i actually had a lot of success with that meme build

How do you decide what to open with when playing Valeera?

heroesfire.com/hots/talent-calculator/the-lost-vikings#onr4

new player here
why are all the heroes so fucking expensive?

:)

>underestimating Tyrael dmg
It hits as hard as a Frostbolt.

On level 1 with the talent q-> e -> aa until e is up again -> e does over 900 damage. That's more than 50% of health of pretty much anyone that isn't a tank in 6 seconds. 12 seconds of a Tyrael sticking on someone on level 1 is enough to kill most heroes. That is without level 4 and especially 7 which does a lot for his output.

I'm not saying it's assassin dmg but it's incredible good output for a tank that has all this in his base tanky build. A Tyrael sticking on you is certainly threatening. Ontop he's pretty much unpeelable.

If you go assassinate/dfa you should open with that to catch people and squishies

CS when someone dive your team or if you can get follow up like tyrande stun or etc.

Garrote to stop heroes with high mov like tracer and zera.

Do a webm with the damage or stop wasting our time faggot.

>so dumb he can't do math

>36 friends

• frostbolt: 190 damage 4s cooldown
• smite: 144 damage 6s cooldown

im coming back into the game after a break, who is the OP hero now to get back into the rhythm?

not an argument :)

because blizzard thinks if they price them like this people will buy stimpacks
a while back they said heroes would start decreasing in cost as time went by after their release and they only did that for 1 or 2 heroes and never again

fucking blizzard

Probius.

His turrets are fucking insane.

Just do daily quests and the weekly Brawl match for the gold. You can get 10.000 in like a week average.

should i buy sonya? i mostly play support but want to play a fun hero that isnt at mercy of 4 of my retsrded teammates

• Purge Evil
• Tier 1
• Smite deals 30% more damage to heroes.

Also I did the math wrong, leaving out 2 autoattacks in the 6 scenario, and 4 in the 12s one. He does more than 1000 damage on level 1 in 6 seconds. In 12 seconds he kills every nontank except Uther, Butcher and Azmodan.

With 4 and 7 it becomes even more extreme. Those 12 seconds are then enough to kill Artanis, Dehaka, Sonya, E.T.C. and to bring Arthas, Diablo and Chen to under 100hp.

post your build please

Third Wind or Block?

heroesfire.com/hots/talent-calculator/tyrael#gROi
The standard one.

1 I occasionally take regen master if I'm the only tank against heavy poke/burst.
4 Swift Retribution if there's a couple people on my team to benefit from more speed.
7 I used to like Zealotry when Imposing Will was a thing. Now probably still viable in those situations when you take Regen Master on 1.
13 You might take Burning Rage for more dmg in bruiser situations and for better waveclear.

All his level 1s are good. Block if they have heavy autoattack and lockdown so they can burst you down in a stunchain, else Third Wind.

• Frostbite: All abilities Chill targets, slowing Movement Speed by 25% and amplifying damage from your abilities by 50%

nah never paid 15k for a new hero

I left that out. The point was to bring Smite's damage in relation to a popular spamable assassin spell. People seem to brush Smite's dmg off when it does a lot more than what most people think.

Emm guys, reasons to run Samuro, I mean there are better options like Zera or even Valeera but I think Zera is the best, but I think Samuro is more fun because of illusion master, I think best maps are BHB and Warhead Junctions, if you are very good with him you can still get good value of him?

That's nice son

Smite also is aoe :v)

>It's literally one of the hardest hitting tank spells in the game

Well it isn't so I don't understand why you keep going on with this shit.

Artanis is fucking stupid.

t. bitter sonya that i just facefucked in solo lane on braxis

en taro :^)

A part of me hopes the game is dead enough that it actually is the Sonya, desu.

Where did you learn sentence structure?

Which spells hit for more then? I mentioned some above.

Like the other guy said, FB hits for more, ambush hits for more, arcane orb hit for more
>hurr but the talents xd
Yeah you already said that.

>>hardest hitting tank spells
>>>tank spells

>tank spell
>keep comparing it with fb
You sure are stupid.

Are you literally retarded?

I compared it with other tank spells and then to put it into overall perspective also compared it with fb because who the fuck knows how much a tank spell does in relation to their hp.

>literally can't read
>you're stupid
Nice one user

I guess Shoebill's haircut is gonna be japan's new fad.

Wrong.

UTHER REWORK WHEN

i fucked her good user, i assure you im right :^)

• blade dash
• twin blades
• death coil
• frozen tempest
• frostmourne hungers
• breath of fire
• consuming blaze
• rune bomb
• drag
• dark swarm
• shadow charge
• fire stomp
• drain hope
• spider mines
• ancient spear
• seismic slam
• whirlwind
• particle grenade

So is QM the fastest way to level up if I don't have enough heroes for ranked?

Yes it is.

>Spider Mines

Drag, Deathcoil, Spear, Slam, Shadow Charge, Consuming Blaze and Fire Stomp do less than talented Smite.

Frostmourne Hungers does pretty much the same.

Rune bomb is a Gall spell, the Cho one does less than Smite.

I obviously didn't count dot spells, only on activation single target ones.

Spider Mines, Frostmourne Hungers, Blade Dash and Twin Blades do more but only Frostmourne Hungers and Spider Mines are tank spells.

>Blizzard matchmaking
>towers of shit

Legendary starcraft skin for Varian plz

>not liking based tower
>losing when you have 2 globals

my list took into account 0 (zero) talents
i'm not going to put in the work to consider them but i can assure you the list would expand would that be done

discount dots if you so wish but do remember they exist and deal more damage

>having no friends on bnet

>Losing to Chogall
How bad can you be?

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

In Hearthstone.

Cute Nightelves WHEN the FUCK?!

>tfw no lich hero

tfw no Kel'thuzad, Anub'arak, Arthas dream team

right now

KT is coming this year

>hey no word on Kel'thuzad sorry but here have a probe
>a fucking probe
>and no Warcraft maps

Don't worry bub, we'll be getting Hanamura when they release Genji

CUTE!

I want Love Goddess Tyrande to murder me with her thighs and butt

What's the point of Warcraft maps if the setting is just generic fantasy?

...

Too far user

when

Next year

Just watch, Kel'thuzad is going to end up a core replacement hero who calls down Naxxramas and uses the various bosses inside to fight.

...

I wish it was different user. :(

Before him we'll get the rest of the ow cast, the hearthstone hero classes except for Maiev and if we're lucky a meme hero from both Diablo and Starcraft.

battle owl hero when ?

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

Maybe so, but you know it to be true.

That makes it hurt even more ;_;

I was so disappointed and pissed off when they released Lucio, the next overwatch hero is going to make me kill myself.

How we doing this season boys?

I'm not doing too great.

>one fifth of players are Diamond
>one fourth are Platinum

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Had amazing promos, 8-2, won some to d2 but now lost some and did the mistake of playing one night when I was tired which made me lose 3 and dropped me to d3 halfway, the spot where I started out.

3-2 TL
haven't played HL yet, but I want to go for bronze since i can just get mount rewards from TL there's no point in playing HL seriously
