>reminder that we're in the middle of 5 non-warcraft heroes in a row because of reddit bitching and memeing with "le assassins of warcraft"

Kill yourself

Really? Thanks, reddit. Guess you can get good stuff done now and then.
I have never played a warcraft game in my life. More Starcraft and Diablo, always and forever.

>still no warcraft map
>Overwatch looks to be getting the next one

>He hasn't played Gods Gift to mankind that is Warcraft 2 and Warcraft 3

>Falstad Wildhammer
>Li Li Stormstout
>Chromie (Chronormu)
>Varian Wrynn
>Ragnaros the Firelord

falstad is wc2 isnt he

Dragon Shrine is pretty much a warcraft map

No. You might be remembering his brother, Kurdran Wildhammer.

I will literally fight you right now If you que into my placement games without being able to play all roles

no worries user, literal Blizz director didn't remember him right either

>Dragon Shrine is pretty much a warcraft map

Yeah
It looks and plays like shit.
So Warcraft.

...

fuck off starcuck

OOOOOOOOH
I would have used garden of 45 minute games for that joke

Fuck off Diablofags. You have like three maps.

2, but so does SC.

I would be ok with each franchise having 2.

Including retro.

Lost Vikings map when?

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH MY OBSCURE QUEST GIVER IS NOT IN HOTS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Someone mad that their shitty series doesn't have a necromancer rep in game?

It's okay wowbabby. Maybe next year.

>reminder that we are in the middle of celebrating diablo's 20 anniversary 4 months late.
because they can't get shit done on time, not reddit.

>tfw Butcher only account floating around in Diamond

I'm a bad person.

What do you do when you get countered in draft?

Kel'thuzad isn't a Necromancer?

rip Gandling

Lock him in. Do what I can to play around it.

Different Butcher poster here
I play "I'm a specialist guys no really" Butcher if my hard counter is on the field (i.e. avoiding teamfights, pushing lanes, gathering meat, and only participating in fights if superiority has been established)

I like playing Butcher and seeing an Assassin or Spec solo laning. :3

Blackthorne when?

Garithos when?

Fuck i wish the 2.0 was active already, playing the old game is so tedious when i know all the cool shit that is comming and playing on the beta server hurts because i know all that progress will be wiped and means nothing

Yeah, actually. I've just been doing my dailies, brawl and then heading back over to League and/or WoW

For sylv is the exploding minion talent ever not shit? seems like triple damage is better every time

How is it possible that blind works on illidian? Thats fucking retarded

>old sylv used to be able to explode enormous waves of minions including mercs in 1 second
>feelsbadman.jpg
that shit was so much fun, especially when enemy heroes where standing in it

does explosion not have any effect on mercs anymore?

I really don't get why they put a cap on how many chests you will be getting as an existing player..
they also upgrades some skins to legendary despite clearly not being legendary
instead of just tweaking the drop rate..
and they are replacing real currency with gems it looks like
I don't like a lot of this

>I really don't get why they put a cap on how many chests you will be getting as an existing player..
$$$
What happens if the players who are mostly level 400 and higher which is most of them would get 400+ chests? they will get all loot they ever want and spend no more money on the game

But that's how many they would get if they started today and got to that level...

yes but they didn't start today so why give it to them? that is hundreds of thousands of players we are talking about
this will force old players to shell out more money and it will lure in new players because they will get lots of loot

Should I get back into this game?
I never reached level cap but I did play my fair amount of games and I'm sort of missing the simplicity this game provides

So my total hero level is 261 with 2 characters being over level 10 and 2 being at level 9

What does this mean when the new loot system is implemented into the game?

About 50 chests from that about 6 ebin chests
to get all 75 chests you need lvl 1000
If you want to get maximum value you have to start a new account

they (((added))) so much useless shit in the collection you'll be rolling in dupes for years between sprays, voice lines that were already there and now are sold separately, skins that are obviously scrapped designs from previous iterations and all the other mumbo jumbo, not to mention all the shit they'll be adding in the future.

This is like kotick spirit haunting us.

Wait a few weeks for 2.0, then see if you hate it

I care not about maximum value, I care about losing out on good stuff.

this is what you lose even considering all the gold gained through the current level system if you had all the heroes at lvl 10 once 2.0 hits

81,000 gold
2,8 epic chests
32 hero specific chests
44 rares
177 common chests
2k gems

can still level up some things to be close to the next box.
try this docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1feRvu-SdcsFw_jc-6axJMNhiInwFYck9sOPf96zwxLg/

but the game is intended to end in a year and there will be no new content so that won't work.

you missed the past 2 years of people saying the pricing is ridiculous. what do you think that 35 basic box limit says to people playing since launch (or more likely quit) about how much better the new system really is? how about when they realize those are actually a strong gold sink? maybe something like "thanks for letting me fuck myself out of heroes" or "wow it's fucking nothing"?

Does this account for the 1250 gold you get for leveling heroes to 10 right now? 'cause that's 80000 gold for the current cast. Are they doubling the rate to get 2500 gold by level 15?

>end in a year

What?

You are not losing anything
These rewards are for new players, missing them is not the same as losing them.

woah where's the new player tab at? all i'm seeing is progression?

Blizzdrone, stay off from MY thread

No dude, like the system itself
New players get to use it more than old players

that is what maximum value means dipstick

oh

Well that sucks

>Does this account for the 1250 gold you get for leveling heroes to 10 right now?

yes it does
doing the same thing in 2.0 nets you 160k, minus the 80k you get now and that's what you get

So... should I not be buying heroes? Because I have been buying heroes. And skins and mounts too. Fuck. I get I shouldn't level anyone up but still

-You can lvl up anyone who's beyond lvl 8 and a half, since those will be >lvl10 in the new system, meaning that each susequent lvl will require the same amount of exp.

-Do not touch any hero lower than 5, and do not play heroes between 5-8 if you enjoy that hero and want to get their dedicated chest at 10 (it is just a guarantee of ONE item for them, but still)

-If you want a particular skin, DO buy it. Unless you want to try your luck or really hate other tints of the skin and are willing to sheckel Shards for just one tint in new system. The latter option is also more valid if you already have a decent amount of skins/heroes, since you'll get ton of shards from duplicates (I have all heroes and something between 15-20 skins, so I've got over 2k shards from 30 chests)

But if I level up anyone over level 8 won't I be missing a common chest per level?

Past converted-level 11 any level will be as difficult as any other level, so that doesn't make a difference, your next common chest will always be the same distance away.

If you can keep yourself from playing, DON'T, but if you have to, a common chest probably wont yield that much cool stuff per opening.

Basically, don't level anyone who is level 8 or under so they won't go over level 10 after patch so you get the hero specific lootbox. After patch cutoff point for level 20 is at ~400k exp over level 11 which is like 2 games so don't level any level 10 characters all the way to 11, or atleast stop as soon as they hit 11. Level 30 after patch was somewhere around level 13

The taunt shit wasn't a bad april fool's?

It was, thank god

WHY IS REDDIT FILLED WITH KEKS AND BLIZZDRONES
WHY ARE PEOPLE SO FUCKING RETARDED I DONT GET IT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yeah, apparently we're getting new animations for the MVP screen and golden name borders for loading screen and the such

WHY IS /hotsg/ FILLED WITH KEKS AND BLIZZDRONES*

About what?
Is this about the fucking crates again?

no it's about ultis and golden guns.

no its about the storyline and balance in legion

no its about blizzard not pandering specifically to me

no its about the mmr system being complete shit

no its about that blizzard doesnt fuck my ass hard enough

no its about journey to un'goro

no its about gamer entitlement and not appreciating generous devs

no its about how i'm feeling lost with no purpose in life

yes its about the fucking crates again XD

no its about the fucking crate again

What's the difference between the normal and epic rmounts from ranked?

is it possible to be a good chromie against good opponents or is she only good when the opponents are bad?

The other is a basic mount and the other is an enhanced version for non-shitters.

Good and bad is subjective. Obviously if you're better than them you'll do better.

She's all about predicting patterns. I have more trouble hitting bronzies because they don't sidestep Q and W, but decent players eat them at least half the time and I've only ever seen one dude so far at masters who switched between standing still and side stepping to fuck with me.
Overall she's great if you're better than everyone else and can use her kit properly

This general has dropped to /sc2/ levels of quality since 2.0

Well blizzard told us to not play the game for 3 weeks so all we have is shitposting.

thats impossible

Someone hasn't been to /sc2/ in awhile.

Atleast we don't have kpop spammers yet

Is this true?
