Heroes of the Storm General /hotsg/

It's probably the hardest thing to balance in the game. So it's not really an issue to me.

Is Tyrande able to win a 1 vs 1?
Against anyone?
Not sure if she's fucked in most 1 vs 1 situations or if I just suck at her.

if you're fighting someone with no sustain sure

morales

Depends.

If she's built on AA and gets someone with their pants down? Sure. D>E>Burning Arrows>Owl to finish of works.

So why is Reddit so butthurt about master skins? They're a waste of 10,000 gold yet these retards want to keep them as they are because it's a sign of your skills or some shit? Fucking idiots.

Yeah, basically.

>wahh I spent 300,000 gold on these skins I feel so betrayed by blizzard

How do I play Anub properly? I die so quick when I try to play like I see other people playing.

Know when you go in. Be hesitant to engage with your E until you've gotten a feel for it.

Also keep in mind that you'll be shredded by AD.

They think having a level 10 hero means you are good with the hero

erik

But all it really means is you played that hero a lot, or used a stimpak.

Shelling out 10k for a skin means something, even if you're not good it means you like this hero and the skin is sort of special because not many others would have it. Level 10 is also not an easy feat for casual players.

Yeah, it means you shelled out 10,000 for a skin. And played a few dozen stimmed matches on the Hero.

I'm just happy that the gold sinks in this game are optional.

When should I be picking Chen (if ever)?

Reddit is obsessed over their feelgood money sinks because it's seeming like they have no other way of showing off. I don't think any of them are better than average at the game.

I just lose an AI match against elite enemies.
What's the easiest way to kill myself?

>Gazlowe is actually fun

When the enemy team doesn't have stun, you need to guard places for long, and you want to play illidan without being an active detriment to your team.

is this a meme
or a hivemind

Its fact and both

It's the truth, even myself being the worse player here was successful and had a lot of fun picking chen, by recommendation of our pandalover.

Sad thing is that now if I hover chen my entire team starts sperging

There's a reason he's known as Fat Illidan.

Only after the rework

>even myself being the worse player here was successful
wew lad there's a fine line between being skeptic and just being disgusting

there's a coarse line between harmless truth and sweet lies

>under my own turret, full up
>land 2 fully talented drain hopes
>pop ossein renewal
>spectral leech talented

>gazlowe sits there and slap fights me to death, doesn't use any skills just autos

WHAT THE FUCK CAN THIS HERO EVEN DO

I'm the guy who got soloed by valla a couple weeks ago under the nexus, and now this happens. What the fuck is this game

There are missing variables here. Also mecha-Gazlowe and like 1 turret hits HARD. Leoric can 1v1 stupid teammates and any tank hero, not good against damage dealers.

>people who think solo laning means they have to constantly win 1v1 fights

laffin at u feeder noobs

They have previously said that the other heroic ability fits some niche situation and they're happy with that

Just like they're happy with Tyrael having a shit trait

So what exactly makes Malfurion first ban/pick?
I mean he's good, I can see that but Lucio strikes me as a more useful character all around, more worthy of getting banned.

>up to 5 second silence
>scout drones
>reduced CD/mana
>AoE root
>single strongest heal/sec*mana in the game
>tracking poke
yeah so shit, what a lousy kit he cant even run away

On a cold day, go to the beach in the evening, get very drunk, go into cold water with clothes on, stay in the water for a while, get out of the water and go to sleep on the beach

You wont feel much

He's the Thrall or Muradin of supports. He's basically never bad. Low tier players do very bad at focusing targets and his trickle heals, mana return, roots, and Twilight dream are very, very strong at all levels of play. He also has access to cleanse, scout drone, storm shield which all fuck over low skill players.

People who first ban supports fon't know shit about the game basically or have zero faith in their team to execute simple basic game mechanics or plays, so they limit the ways the enemy team can sustain since they lack the ability to actually outdraft/outplay the enemy team.

Gazlord is amazing atm

He didn't put down any turrets, he was under my turret. What variables are you looking for? My team was 20, his 21 I think. I'll check the recording when I get home, but I'm pretty sure the situation is exactly as I described. I think he even had a wave of minions plinking him.

Yes, leoric is well equipped to bust tanks. 10 percent of 8k is a larger number than 10 percent of 3k. But that doesn't mean percent based damage is ineffective against lower hp targets.

Gazlowe will win 1v1s in melee. He does a fuck ton of melee damage. You trying to 1v1 him was your mistake.

Incoming blogpost

I'm quitting this game, after 2 years. Hopefully for good this time. Not because the game is bad but because I spend way too many hours of my life on it, and 2.0 looks like shit. Peace out nerds it's been fun

No one cares about you

I'll miss you.

m8 I never even remotely implied he was bad, I just find Lucio to be consistently more useful.
Maybe good Malfurion players are rarer than good Lucio players, maybe Lucio is too easy to do well with, I dunno.

Makes sense, being good in every map is a great advantage.
I have obviously been building him wrong too though.

What's the fastest way to crush AI with AI on your side?

Thanks senpaitachi

Gazlowe, Hammer, Sylvanas or a Hero that can take camps easily like twinblade varian or illidong

>tfw been playting malf since beta when twilight dream wasnt meta yet and cant transition to twilight meta cause im used to being at the back and not front lines

havy syllv, hammer, azmodan tassadaniel and a tank

Peace, dude.

Hammer, Sylvanas and Azmodan.

Never take Life Seed or treant and youre fine.

>not taking your broccoli
look at this fag

dont forget uninstall

I just started playing again and it's REALLY easy for me to lose my cursor during team fights, and sometimes but rarely lose where I am during team fights.

Thats a mechanical skill you'll have to relearn friend.

Time to stop being a casual fuck and actually have control over your mouse pointer beyond just staring at it

you can make your cursor really big in the options. Works for me.

Turn off mouse acceleration from windows mouse settings

>no master skin going forward
>heroes will still launch with 2 skins

so nothing changes then? Cool.

>going forward, new heroes will only have shit skins

90% of the masters skins are shit so...

Most of the "Master" skins were just the base one with spikes. Sometimes a few extra tints.

100 shards a tint whew glad I never caved and bought the Tracer, Zag, Xul and Rexxar master skins

>implying master skins were good

there were maybe three good master skins the rest were abominations or lazy

Most of the Master skins are shit. Look at Tracer:
>Nimble, agile fighter
>master skin makes all her gear bigger and bulkier
Literally goes against "gotta go fast!"

Will 2.0 bring us summer fun skins

See you in 2 weeks

>summer fun skins

they listen more the sjw rant than real players, so i guess no.

That doesn't fit the nexus aesthetic :^)

ahahahah wew lad

>heroes will still launch with 2 skins
What they said was they will give heroes a new skin but if they get a second skin is more flexible depending on what the artists feel like. Not that they will always be released with 2 now.

Wrong my boy.

Quoted from leddit recap -

>"Heroes will now be released with 2 skins on launch, flexible about adding an extra skin, depending on artist ideas ("the possibility is there, but it's not required")"

Would you be Brightwing's friend, /hotsg/?

You are using a redditor whose a second language english speaker or something as a source instead of the source.

"We’re still planning for new heroes to have a launch skin when they come out, but whether they have a second one is more flexible"

She wouldnt touch Li Li. Or maybe she would. I can't tell.

>People who first ban supports fon't know shit about the game basically or have zero faith in their team to execute simple basic game mechanics

Have been GM for 3 seasons straight and this is utterly wrong. Tassadar and Malfurion absolutely deserve bans.

How come no one ever uses the Ching Chong Arthas skin?
It's like literally everyone who spent money on Arthas skins bought Crown Prince.

Crown prince has been in the game for years

Guan yu was added 2 months ago or something

Why the fuck is it that everytime I check the subreddit for any sort of news, there's always 1-2 posts that's essentially "OH MY GOD RICH PRESSED A BUTTON"? The fuck is with tthe Reddit and slobbering over this tubby little asian's balls?

>Not activating your almonds

>tfw not enough shards to get best girl as announcer

Probably because Crown Prince has been featured in multiple bundles. I recall there was a 4-5 dollar one for just as many skins, or something.

Also; it's older. I don't play Arthas so I don't know if one is significantly "better".

At least they haven't gone completely Tobias/Imaqt.

I honestly prefer the occasional Rich clip to Mewn, Chu or that other fellow

BECAUSE I'M TOO POOR

>Play 8 games
>Play 3 games as a Specialist Hero
>Play 2 games as a Diablo Hero
Feels good.

>tfw token is up to 100k on NA

Why does Naz spike late game so hard?

>nerf Tracer waveclear please

Is he still useless as shit until then?

Should've pushed that advantage of yours a tad harder. Kills are a means to an end.

That high-stacking poison and getting it to affect heroes.
