Where the FUCK is Maiev????

Where the FUCK is Lady Vashj????

Where the FUCK is Valee-oh there she was.

Where the FUCK is LEEEEROOOOOY JEEEEEENKIIIINS????

Master skins were always meaningless and you """"earning"""" them in 1.0 was a waste of your time and effort :)

I don't know if this is shitposting but it was a huge waste of time.

He better be a fucking butcher skin. We don't need two heroes that are exactly the fucking same.

This game would be SIGNIFICANTLY better if they removed Sgt. Hammer.
Prove me wrong.
You can't.

t. Valeera player

>enemy team has hammer and/or sylvanas
>allied team wants to ARAM mid for some reason
>always lose at least one tower, sometimes two

hehe

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

What? Valeera is great vs Hammer.

LiLi is the best

>bronzies think sylvannas is a solo laner

laffin

>xd guys we need a specialist
Slightly triggering, desu.

...

Wait don't tell me there are people who actually think that. Everyone knows she is a 4 lane cheese pushes, you'd have to be stupid to not know that.

Yes, it's common. People think the "go bottom solo as Sylvannas and snipe a tower" is the literal only way to play her.

It sickens me.

So, Diablo's whole shtick is setting up and facilitating ganks, right? Or is he able to go 1 vs 1 against some characters too?

It works if the whole enemy team comes mid as usually happens for some reason

Swann when?

>ally Sylvannas leaves your team while pushing to take a camp solo

REEE WHY IS IT EVERY TIME

Dumb Hordeposter

>nice, I'm almost up a rank, going to have some fun matches today
>proceed to have a losing streak with laughably unorganized teams and an overall horrible gaming experience
Why do I bother with HL again?

Because the feeling you get when games go right in HotS makes you forget about the shitshow that it can, and usually is.

>kerrigan on my team that has the legendary skin
>can't land combos
>backs out of fights at 60% HP to Hearth
>dives into 5 when alone

kill

Smoke and mirrors. Dopamine high. Night after night. Getting only salt.

This is not the future I asked for as a kid wishing for high-speed internet.

Reddit said they datamined dva kerrigan tint, so dva next hero confirmed!

He has a surprising amount of damage, and great clear with his flame stomp.

It's not uncommon to end the game with the most hero damage on the team just by spamming flame stomp in fights.

His cc is useful for ganking and initiating a pick. In a teamfight it's usually for peeling for your backline, unless the enemy squishies are close enough for you to throw them into the back of your team. Or if you are a dive comp you can just run in and lock a squishy down.

It's kind of stupid but don't really hate it in any way.
That being said, I looked at the thread there was no evidence provided by the dataminer.

It most likely is legit cause would be far too much effort for a joke, just wish more information was provided.

>huge minion wave is about to ram into our keep towers
>move in and start clearing it out
>our specialist walks right by and starts doing a camp
>spam pings me for not helping him while he almost dies
Mercs are to supplement the rest of your gameplay. Remember to clear lanes first, kids!

>not riding this glorious cock everywhere forever and always
What's your excuse?

I was out and about for work for a whole month and missed the event.

Anub's too big.

Missed the event. At least I have the golden cock.

>not riding the golden cock stroked by midas
pL3b

Is he banging LiLi?

the golden one is more aesthetic.

really wish they would have added some alt colors for that mount though. that one mount during the oni event did.

Because I got tired of the cock jokes after the first 3 hours of the event, I don't want to fucking hear any more for a while.

Looks more like he is the bangee rather than the banger

Heroes 2.0 needs to fucking be released already so I can get new mounts.
Zul'jin riding a horse looks just wrong.

>sgt hammer at 20 can hit the core nonstop with no counter
>it does enough damage by itself to destroy the core
Why is this allowed again?

I just want it for all those free stimpacks I'm gonna get, and I'll be finally able to level up my 1s.

So what's your goto mount in 2.0?

I mostly play Sonya, with a bit of Reynor and Zarya thrown in and I just bought Diablo. Any suggestions on talents for him?

I like going for charge and overpower ones.

how'd I do /hotsg/

I am upset with the focus on Overwatch heroes and no night elf wardens or Diablo angels.
Oh, 2.0 is finally giving us femDiablo?

Why do I never see anybody take Three Blade Style on Samuro? I feel like if the enemy is capable of it, your Images are kind of sure to be bursted down real fast after they're spawned, and this helps remedy that. Also extra scouting time of course.

>Quickmatch matchmaking

>Forgot to swap it to stats
Fuck me.

>no diablo angels
>what is tyrael and auriel for 500

>no night elf wardens
Wow I'm glad there is only LITERALLY FUCKING 1 RELEVANT ONE IN ALL WOW LORE

>Oh no we are getting so many OW characters in a row
This would be the first 2 to be released in a row.
We've had sessions of 3 or more wow characters in a row. Stop being a faggot and just let them release whoever. Most of them will be released anyways and the release schedule for HOTS isn't that slow, so once OW finishes you can have all the shit you want.

>gul'dan with 36k hero damage

was he afk or something?

>Ctrl-F 'Malthael'
>zero results
>stopped reading

Fuck off, Reddit.

>varian going memeswords
>not taking imp charge at 4

It's like these people want to lose.

>Lose match because Nova and Probius do literally nothing but talk to each other in Russian the entire fucking match
>The first thing I see at the start of the next one is Auriel spamming shit in Russian

haha! dont you just love all the people coming back thanks to HotS 2.0??!!?!?!? bigger community equals a better community!!!!!!!

Tfw my mmr is so high im in gold 2 qued up with plat 2 players

Now i just need to get motivated to actually bother to get to plat/diamond

What's your personal rank adjustment?

The ranks of people you get queued with can be a very inaccurate representation of your mmr. Personal rank adjustment is directly tied to your mmr.

How do I get gud with Johanna?

I think its like 80 something, I didnt check.

This is it...

I believe in you user.

It was a tough journey.

I'm on Warhead junction. This is a game I can win.

Maybe next time.

>new uther is a fucking bruiser with burst heal
>nobody in HL will draft a second support to enable him

I hate being stuck in shitter league where everybody avoids support like its the plague.

I want Samuro to be viable so badly. He's a ton of fun. Have a 20% win rate with him in masters league this season, so maybe its time to retire him altogether. :(

they should just remove her Z
it's not even OP or anything, it just bugs me out how a fucking siege tank of all things has such a retarded escape even while sieged up.
Also remove hover siege.
Also make her bigger
Also remove hammer and put in duke.

Correction its like 50

>bruiser

You what?
Isn't his damage still pitiful?

holy shock is a viable thing now.

Then yeah you prob belong in plat or low diamond.

I get +50 points in D1 and from what I've seen with regards to whom I get the crown over, I've got ~top 200 mmr, maybe a tad lower.

Let's try that again.

I hope you actually succeed. Twice now I've failed promotions, not even fucking kidding you, purely due to disconnects, not rage-quits but actual connection issues. I can't even fucking muster the strength to go back and try again,just fuck it. HL is a grind anyway.

man tufferfish -> slippery when wet -> rejuv bubble -> fish oil is such a fun fucking build i can't believe ive done nothing but build for Q all this time

They compensate for that by making her hitbox absolutely massive. It's hard not to accidentally kill Hammer in team fights. No nerfs needed.

>no nerfs needed
All blizzard did since september 2014 was nerf her.
All buffs she ever recieved were general talents being buffed.
Thrusters recieved a major nerf just last year so if you complain about hammer at this point its a severe case of GIT GUD

Hammer is one of the more cancer heros to play against post 20.

tfw you MULE your core from 4% to 100%

>not nazeebo
>not leoric

I think you misspelled Hammer and meant to say Nazeebo.

>get to level 20
>win

This kind of ticking time bomb cancer is not fun to play with or against.

Hi /hotsg/

How long does it take to get 15k gold? I only play HotS when a new Overwatch hero comes out

that feel when turning it up to eleven
etc is so fuckin fun now

kys

AGDQ were on our way
the right comp could probably get it under 2:30 or even 2 easily.

I'll get there.

Why?

Gold mostly.
You figure the average game takes atleast 20 minutes
With a good speedrun group for vs ai you could get 100 gold instead of 20-30 gold

Oh my god I fucking KNEW it, man. I fucking KNEW that would happen to you. I cannot stand that shit. You probably did pretty decently that game, didn't you? Fuck this matchmaking man, I'm sorry.

>3 specialists
>1 valeera
>1 random chromie
Usual quality match.

When will they give Nova an actual rework? It's fucking sad.

>first game of the day
>3 people reported for abusive chat
I see it's going to be great 8 games again today

Yeah, but even with the losses, I know I'll get there again.

>watch a pro streaming on twitch after reading lots of recommendations him being a good source of game knowledge
>turns into a salt mine after two games, reporting his team for AFK and feeding

>2nd game
>literally lost it couple minutes into the match
Matchmaking doing it's magic again after a decent win streak before

>sgt hammer at 20 can hit the core nonstop with no counter
Because picking a hero for their lv 20 perk is totally reasonable in most drafting situations right?

>it does enough damage by itself to destroy the core
It does not. Solo BFG cannot outdamage the shield regeneration at all. It can destroy the turret towers and forts and keeps and shit but never the Core. It is impossible to afk kill the Core with just the ult alone.
