momentary death but we back online team

W H E N

After giving us such a shitty indev (only prob and ranked mount), I hope on Monday they will show something BIG! Especially because dark souls 3 will come as well :) I'm also wondering when we will hear about what happenes on the illuminati meeting on march 28 where all the streamers and hots famous people go.

I mean the dlc for dark souls 3 of course.

Indev won't be this monday, it will be next monday.

...

which one is it

neither

game going into maintenance mode no more updates ever gg guys see ya later

post your face when your favorite guy gets announced next week

If we count the weeks after probius relase this week should be it on Monday, isn't it?

>OG fenix
>Not the dragoon

M-Maiev? Is t-that you?

>We promise only one stealth hero per match!
>Valeera/Shitter rollerblade nova duo

>Cydaea

Imperius, Tichondrius, Mannoroth or tank Maiev

More recognizable to use a cinematic picture but yeah. Dragon please.

If they make him a robot nigger I'll crash this game with no survivors.

Johanna
more like Flathanna

My main concern is that if they do Kel'thuzad, they'd fuck him up somehow.

And this coming from someone who only has seen the WC3 cutscenes and his silly character in Hearthstone.

s-source

>waiting on hots of the dorm to end
I don't even remember which teams I picked.

>introducing the first evil support!
Just imagine.

Evulchibi

The fact that all supports are supposed to be pure and girly disgusts me

>support=healer
>basically every team needs one

Like, I liked the idea of providing utility and "support" on characters like Blitz, Braum or Thresh.

But a Sona/Raka in every game on both teams is just...not a fan.

>girly
>Kharazim, punches people to death
>Tassadar, melts people with lasers
>Rehgar, claws people

you got a great taste user...

I do~!

>the first evil support

AHEM

i want your entire collection!!!

>/hots/

>watch Rich streams regularly
>start practicing Alarak
>learn how he plays him
>now MVP everygame
my fucking god, god bless that fat fuck for being so good at this game

GAH

when the fuck is cheerigan gonna be out?

BRUTALIZE THEM

When the Cuban Revolution update releases

SUCH DARING

Angel is a doge memester

y-you cant just tease me and leave me hanging!

>remember today is some heroes of the dorm shit
>decide to check twitch
>nothing
>they're fucking streaming through facebook

like what the literal fuck? Why?

why dont you just upload your entire folder on mega?

I'd rather share it with you personally~

It's scattered all over the place

Why do so many people dislike Blackhear's Bay?
I think the map is alright, the pirate themes mercenaries are cool, and Blackheart himself is pretty amusing.

Because it's the biggest snowball in the entire game while also being really comp dependant.

If you ever fall behind and the enemy plays properly there's no chance of you ever coming back.

Give link please, I wanna get better at alarak

>the biggest snowball in the entire game
>not Luxoria
choose one

LOOKS

Because pros hate it for legitimate reasons so everyone else hates it so they can emulate pros.

twitchtv/oreo4679/videos/all
he's offline now, but those videos are good stuff, just skip the whole draft shit

Sky Temple has boss comeback mechanic and phases when 2 temples spawn letting the behind team get some shots in. Also big enough map that you can push opposite lanes from the temple if you are down levels.

BHB has nothing like that. There's 0 comeback mechanics and again it's a lot more strict on your comp.

oh no user, you forgot to censor it!
waaaaaaaaaaah....i'm little shy.
y-you can add me in discord tiny#8759

i want to _pet Brightwing

You mean OVERWATCH

Fuck, I meant to post the sfw version. No more deletes so rip me.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE STOP IT FUCKING STOP IT
ITS ENOUGH THAT FUCKING /r9K/ SPAMS IT
I DONT WANT TO SEE THAT SHIT HERE
YOU HERE ME?!

>whichever team goes full autist PVE camp spam mode better wins

hate this meme on BHB literally every game

>euros in charge of hots

The funny thing is that one mercer beats all other mercers in teamfights.

Sonya destroys Illidan and Samuro and does well against Greymane. No idea if there's other junglers, I'm pretty tired, but Sonya beats them.

American sponsor wants an american team. Former Misfits already have a new sponsor with team liquid.

>ban
farewell user ;_;

TB Varian is a jungler, but he doesn't come online until L10 so he's bad on BHB.

Yeah I know. Rexxar used to work but now he has too low of a dmg output to properly jungle.

Imperius is the next hero.

fuck yes

Fuck if they add more D3 Angels. They're literally the most boring thing in the entire Diablo franchise.

>another month of not playing hots

I'm actually fine with this.

Brightwing is cute.
CUTE

Would anyone be willing to help me get Cho'Gall? Two quick vs AI games?

>Diablo 3 model

>another fucking angel

wow that's almost as bad as the probe

That's not Overwatch or WoW

League/dota player

I dont really like the core design philosophy of HotS but i do like the very unique heroes its spawned.

Are chogall/abathur/murky/whoever else im missing fun enough to warrant an install?

you're already missing out just by not playing Tassadar

yeah, there are some really fun heroes, Alarak for instance is making me love this game again

>abathur
yes

The core design of the game is actually quite interesting. Other assfaggot games focus on micro play, whereas HOTS is all about the macro play. You don't have an hour to make up for bad play with farm, so it's all about how you perform with your team. Different but good IMO.

New heroes every month is reason enough to pop in every now and again.

THE CHOICE

is simple.

thanks tovarisch

>Abathur
Possibly.
>Murky
Hell yeah.
>Cho'gall
If you have a friend.

Mhm. Try to keep it fun and light with hots.

>ends before he gets executed by mercs
kek

ded thread

gibsme new hero

i wanted the probe

>Cho'gall
He got nerfed hard recently, but with a friend he can be neat.
>Abathur
If you like RTS, he's one of the best characters in the game in theory. He requires your team to be able to win 4.5 vs 5
>Murky
Is awesome

I don't fucking understand this whatsoever.

>get MVP
>absolutely demolish the enemy team
>never die once
>contribute the most xp, the most hero damage
>on objectives constantly
>even 200

I feel like I've been slotted into silver and never get to leave.

Because literally none of that matters.

...

What matters then?

Winning.

And the mmr of those you're playing with/against.

That's it.

You could go 0-39 on Leoric in a match and still get those same 200 points. Actually winning is all that matters.

Higher level cap when?
I get it, they don't want to give out free Gold, but it would be neat if we had a better indicator of how long a person has been playing.

Oh, and your hidden MMR relative to those you're playing with/against. Influences those little gains, as I recall.

Like, when you get 214 for a win.

satan loves you

Isn't the revamped leveling system going to essentially be handing us more gold? Which likely means the Loot system is going to be something to help combat how freely they're giving away gold now. So I expect a bunch of more cash shop shit.

Alright, i finally grinded up to 10k. About to buy my first hero. I really enjoy tanks, are there any tanks that i should avoid?

Was thinking about buying leoric and that one dinosaur zerg guy.

So if I'm playing against players who are ranked the same as me or lower

And we absolutely demolish them...

Should I not be boosted ahead more as we are clearly better?

Leoric is not really a tank

Dehaka is a love or hate kind of thing to be honest. Any other tanks you are interested in?

Don't buy Leoric. He's not really in the best place atm.

What warriors do you currently own?

Leoric is fine on Braxis and Spider map.

He's buying his first hero. You're going to recommend someone "fine" on two maps?

Sure.

I would say Diablo or Muradin, if you didn't already get him from the training mode.
Arthas is also fun and he has received buffs recently that have made him really strong

Ehh, sort of.

I don't know if anything has been changed recently but as of now it seems the game seems to think you're at your appropriate skill level, thus the lack of rank adjustment.

If you win, say, seven games in a row your MMR might be high relative to your rank, and as such you'll (probably) get more ranked points.

Good hunting.

Keep posting Gnar
He's cute and one of the only good things from Lol

Oh, i forgot that i actually owned diablo.

I dont really like him to be honest, Unless im headbutting someone into a wall it doesnt really seem like im doing much of anything

What about stitches?

Stitches can be get some solid picks if you can actual land your hooks
If you can't then you're really useless.
If you'd like to blow 10k I'd suggest Varian. He's not really good until level 10 and then he gets a huge power spike
