Where the FUCK is SHE????

I thought Cho'Gall got """buffed"""

Why is he worse now?

team sc2 vs hotsg

Did Probius get buffed yet?
Once people realized they don't have to walk into my rift I haven't won a single game. The only attack I even have is a 150 damage skillshot.

He was nerfed.

Deathwing skin for Brightwing when?

>triple normal queue time

DAED GAEM

He's stronger but you have to be better with him to make use of it.

His skill ceiling is higher but as a result the skill floor's lower too.

ETA on valeera nerf?

>valeera
>nerf

qm hero pls

>play half the heroes in the game
>get fucked by valeera and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it because I'm stunned

Stop pushing split pushing like a retard user.

Knock her out of stealth. Most heroes aren't Lili and can do that. Lots have reveal talents. No stealth, no stun.

>the only time valeera can attack you is if you're pushing on your own
I have games frequently where I'm standing right in front of our towers , I notice a shimmer but it's too late, I get stunned and killed and valeera just tanks the towers and gets away. What's worse is when I play Abathur and Valeera goes into our fort area, kills me, and walks out mostly unscathed.

Most of the time by the time I notice her shimmer, it's too late - She's so much harder to see than the other stealth characters.

>I notice a shimmer but it's too late
So she need a nerf because you're too slow to uncloak her? Ok.

>What's worse is when I play Abathur and Valeera goes into our fort area, kills me, and walks out mostly unscathed.

Use your mines.

Trust me, she frustrates me too. But her pissing me off doesn't warrant a nerf.

Just means I need better eyeballs and learn skillshots.

She wrecks me as Jaina even though I should really win in that scenario.

>win a lot games
>getting out of trash d3 terrotory
>double mage retard picker
>afk tank
like clockwork

I think heroes that are blatantly anti-fun do need to be reworked or nerfed.

The only people that complain about Valeera are Quick Match shitters. Literally no one in high rated games gives a shit. Shitters cry about her. Not a coincidence. Fuck off shitters. Your opinions are irrelephant.

How cute is Johanna?

she's literally harder to see than anyone else not to mention the unrevealable status, which makes her completely invisible

I played her a bit by popping stealth mid fight so I could stun people on demand without being knocked out of it before I could even initiate but it seems staying permanently in stealth is way more effective anyway

>midway through draft
>lost bnet connection
>the draft restarts
>whatever i type in chat is invisible
>i see an ai picking a hero instead of me

nice game reddit

In QM, she's literally worse to play against than old Nova. She's massively anti-fun so it's no surprise people cry about it.

>in QM

fuck
off

>wahhh nerf X in tic tac toe because I lose as O every time

You problem. Fuck off shitter.

You sure showed me.

>can't defend his shitter position anymore

guess i did faggot

fuck off

>ponyfucker

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

To be fair, the game shouldn't be so very Tic Tac Toe-y. but moreso than any MOBA, it is.

Pretty cute, but not as cute as Zagara

You know, if they released this I would spend actual, real money on this game.
Again

>She wrecks me as Jaina even though I should really win in that scenario.
>I should really win in that scenario.

Really?
Why?
I play Jaina too and I don't understand Valeera but I assumed she was sort of a direct counter to most characters with low HP

All three of her abilities kill stealth and if you can hit her, she should be bursted before she gets you.

But I fuck up, don't see her until it is too late or even if I survive, deal fuck all damage because I panicked and threw my Blizzard fuck knows where.

I want this so fucking badly. It is perfect.

>tfw no Char map with waves of terran minions fighting zerg over the Keystone in the middle, which can be captured to wipe the map of enemy minions, allowing the side you're fighting for to invade the opposing fort and drain HP from it ala tower defense style

I wonder how Zagara would react if she was transformed into a human being

>not a point and click skill, skillshot
>not a point and click skill, medium range aoe
>not a point and click skill, close range aoe
why would she lose? valeera is a lot weaker out of stealth and jaina has an abundance of tools to get her out of it

>He's stronger but you have to be better with him to make use of it.
>His skill ceiling is higher but as a result the skill floor's lower too.
You mean his skill floor is higher too.

If his skill floor is lower, you wouldn't need to be better to make use of him.

>HoTSlogs ads are back
>The old way to kill the anti adblock doesn't work

help

>Everything about ETC aside from Mosh Pit is garbage
>They can't buff any of his garbage talents because Mosh Pit

>EU down
Time to install Dota

why is eu down?

Patching

>adwarelogs
Just use heroeshearth.

>have an etc on team
>he takes the heroic that isn't mosh pit
That heroic choice should be accepted as an autism test

Encore is fucking amazing, only Tyrael does a better job.

when probe 10k

next week

when chromie 7k

when death

Looks retarded. Doesn't do anything people actually use Hotslogs for, so it's not a replacement. I really want a replacement for Hotslogs but I doubt we'll ever get one.

What talents to take for Joh since the nerf?

anything that makes you increasingly more annoying to kill

This

stops

HEAH

Wait, what the fuck, am I going crazy? I thought they removed some of the talents for my build. My normal build hasn't changed at all. I could've sworn Laws of Hope was removed.

github com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Inline-script-tag-filtering

right click view page source

with these two tools at your disposal you should be well-equipped to deal with the current adblockblock and perhaps also future ones to come

the only talent they removed was amplify healing, and thats it

>stomp all game
>fury varian comes online
>too cocky from early game
>team proceeds to feed
>he shreds them like used cum tissue

feels badman

>fury varian comes online
>zero deaths on varian
Sounds like he was always online.

How do you even deal with Varian?
He's a death sentence every time I face him, basically.

He played well no doubt. I went Illusion Master so there wasn't much I could do against him not for lack of trying. Had some fun duels with Illusion swapping but he picked the infinite parry talent and I basically could never 1v1 him ever.

... I completely forgot which one was Laws of Hope and which one was Amplified Healing. I'm a dumbass. The only thing this affects is no longer shrugging off mages. Cool.

Also, I just played against the biggest faggot of a Medivh imaginable. Holy fuck. He was in a party and silenced and was an unrelenting dickbag. It came across.

>Plays Samuro
>Gets sad he loses

>Samuro is bad

This is my favorite meme.

I'm not sad that I lost

I'm sad that we were so ahead and blew it to a single enemy hero. Also my only IRL friends that play this game are feedkings and don't listen to my tips. That kinda makes me sad, but I just play for fun.

Hard CC like polymorph, blinds, stuns, etc.

Problem is people underestimate him and ignore him or blow CC on lesser priority targets in a panic.

If he has parry talents, loads of casting into team fights, always focusing healers/dps over him.
If he doesn't have parry talents, hard CC.

I only buy weekly sales skins. Are you sad too that one of em is a half-naked Zeratul?

The weekly skin/champ sale this week is complete shit

Isn't Zeratul always half-naked?

Actually, why don't protoss wear fucking pants

>champ

What makes Uther bad? When you look at his kit it seems like he should be good. Is it that W?

Huge mana costs
Long cooldowns
Fragile
Morales aa does more damage
His only cc is melee range

i don't like demon auriel too. But that zeratul one is literally a recolor of the main skin

How many of those would have to be improved for him to be good?
Not the same user btw

All of them.

His abilities don't heal enough to warrant his suffocatingly shit mana costs and cooldowns.
He's among the weakest supports AA-wise and is melee to boot.
Auto-loses to Gul'dan or Lunara.

I honestly don't know, he need a complete overhaul right now. I would turn him into a Kharazim tier to be honest.

at least be more mana efficient so he can be a proper healer. He's bad at everything

Haven't played in a while.
Who is great and who is trash now?

...

Won the game after one zerg rush and you were the only one killing the tiny enemy zerg wave?

>own all the diablo heroes
>own all the sc2 heroes except for one
>own all the overwatch heroes
>only thing ruining my collection is WoW and TLV

Fuck. One day.

>half of the roster is WoW characters

So that's like what, 9 diablo characters, and 7 starcraft?

That's fucking nothing.

*10 Diablo characters, 9 Starcraft.

I keep forgetting Xul is supposed to be D2, and that Probius is the fifth member of Team Protoss.

Is it safe to say that, on release, Heroes are pretty much guaranteed to be OP?

And why is saying that something is "over-tuned" rather than "OP" the new fedora way of saying "OP"?

I thought he was rubbing his nipple in the thumbnail

No.

He needs to be beefy and have more mana,

or have more reward for being not-beefy.

That or his trait resurrects him with a samll amount of HP if he gets off the max amount of heals during his death or something.

Also just give him the "mana on hit" for free.

Probius :^)
