They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

>Everyone says it's Bearmantle

Guys, GUYS.

>Asian Map
>Bear Marks
It's fucking Taran Tzu

>robogrub.com/tierlist
>Probius in S tier
>Samuro and Butcher in not optional Tier
I have my doubts about this tierlist

having that horseface bucktooth autists tier list in the OP is a clear indication of the quality of this general and the players inside.

"Me from the best nation in Azeroth... the abomination"
Holy shit i almost pissed myself, i fucking love his lines
Stitch is the only announcer pack i'm buying

probius is god tier right now

>Bearmantle
People need to learn that Bearmantle won't be in hots ever for 2 major reasons.

1. Literally WHO
2. Malfurion has a skin that makes him look EXACTLY like Bearmantle

You could do the next OP. I just copy-pasted half of the shit so the general wouldn't black out

it wasnt a post directed towards you, i was directing it to the original faggot that included it in the OP

>TLV listed twice

yeah the default one

You have been tasked with fleshing out the kits of the boss and objectives of various maps to make them playable for a brawl. Things like the Garden Terror, Dragon Knight, Beleth and Ilarian, the Punisher, so on. How do you go about doing so?

Clearly it's Maiev's clawed gauntlet

Inb4 it's Naisha's panther mount

xth for we're getting a kitty druid stealth assassin

I use this to check the current tier

tentonhammer.com/articles/heroes-of-the-storm-tier-list

No offense taken, none intended. Just saying, most people won't bother removing it or see anything wrong with it in the first place so its probably gonna stay

by posting it on reddit. this imageboard is for lewd drawfags, smug anime girls, erp-tier posts about sonyas member and betting on quickmatch loading screens.

In case someone missed the teaser:
twitter.com/BlizzHeroesDE/status/855541658934431744

IT'S A DRAGON'S CLAW ON A DRAGON SYMBOL IT HAS TO BE A DRAGON
Y-YOU'LL SEE

>thinking butcher is good

It's gonna be Wrathion.

Thing is, this is assuming they won't alter his outfit to differentiate him from Malf. Also, Broll makes sense, because Rehgar, Varian, and Valeera are all connected, and I highly doubt they'd miss an opportunity to bring the whole gladiator pack together.

Goddammit why the fuck did it keep Dustin's name? I got rid of it already.

There's clearly smoke and sparks from a fire in this. There's a low non-animalistic growl from this.
It's either a demon, or a dragon.

>Demon
Pitlord, but he has no claws really.
Dreadlord, but he has no fire.

>Dragon
Onyxia. Female, sneaky and intrigues are her shit, fire and claws. Perfect fit.
Deathwing, but that mark is too small for his claws and he's certainly not sneaky.

They did say it is a highly anticipated character too.

Theres still hope its maiev right?;_;

Who isn't a highly anticipated character at this point?

D.va, for one. Or any overshit character that isn't Reinhardt.

It has to be deathwing. The howl is definitely a dragon or dva on period.
And there aren't any other well knbown characters with claws and howls in the blizz universe plus blizz is likely to do what people want to get more money and people have begged for deafwing for a loong time

user you gotta stop this.

Overwatch is fine.Except Mei.

not to mention, they're doing a Cinematic.

I can't imagine them doing a cinematic for anyone less than an Expansion Boss

The new hero will be a new hero for both OW and HOTS. Simultaneous release in both games

It's been too soon since Orisa for OW to get a new hero. Wouldn't put it past Blizz to do this at some point though.

>Account level 270 next patch
>30 levels in 3 days

Why did I procrastinate?

I'm trying playing with the camera unlocked, and I feel like I play much worse. Is it really worth learning if I play okay with camera follow?

Yes. I don't know why you think being able to look farther or check out how your team is doing somewhere else isn't absolutely vital.

>It's yet another "Your Team Has Nova Their Team Has Valeera or Zeratul" episode.

s t o p i t, fucking rework that bitch already she's so useless

Spacebar is your friend.

It can't be darkwing, the claw marks are too small, darkwing is mountainsized

Not sure why people would NOT use following camera. There's absolutely no reason not to. You can move your camera freely whenever you need to anyway, you just don't need to move it when you don't need to and it'll follow you.

>yfw sombra hacks the trailer

They won't do that until they tease Kel'thuzad.

>Monologue about how he has remained dormant for some time

"They'll never see me coming."

uh
what

This isn't even real or ever going to happen and you've triggered me so hard.

Fuck you.

Fuck Blizzard.

give me some ropes and a dildo and we'll see

I can move my camera around whenever I want still, but I seem to just hold spacebar most of the time.
When I watch streamers they're never keeping it locked on their hero but I feel like I'm not as aware of the battlefield if I do that.
Really what I want is to have camera follow but not have the border for where the camera can move to.

>Can sort on role
>Can sort on Universe
>Can't sort on gender, sex and political views
Wow fucking cis blizzard fuck off get with the times granpa

dont even bother, you will find a legendary in 30 boxes anyway

>Mom I posted it again

So I did some thinking and some calculations and I came to the conclusion that this game is literally unplayable if you removed all of the male heroes. However, removing the female heroes leaves plenty of variation and a playable game. Now some of you will be thinking that 'what does it matter, no-one will be removed so the game is playable?' so I leave the trigger words: female representation.

I just thought this would be interesting for some people to see and I hope more females, especially tanks, will be added in the future.

NO user DVA would fucking suck ass
>TeeHee I'm a borderline unkillable tank that you have to kill twice.
>haha I have terrian ignoring mobility that displaces and damage enemies on a 0 second cooldown
>lol even if you try to hit me back i will activate my [REMOVE ALL PROJECTILES INCLUDING ULTS] field which is practically a toggle.
>NERF THIS :3 (talented to recharge based on damage deleted)

That shit would be Release Kt awful, it would be pre-nerf varian pick ban. You think the murky rework was fucking awful to play against you have another thing coming.

Its Deathwing
fuck im hype

Sure, but what if it was Junkrat

Yeah, Deathwing or D2 Druid are all it could be. So it's Deathwing.

Also, Zeratul is such a faggot hero. Zeratul and Medivh, the worst.

Soe is for ______

It would be extremely based thing for blizzard too do and they should fucking can whatever garbage 'hero' they are working on and get him in immediately.

I would love top see him in but i think unless he had like a solid shot auto attack and required a set duration buff that loaded explosive rounds he would crowd out Hammer's AoE Ranged Auto Attack niche

the oven

I want to put my benis in he mouth balls deep and then watch her struggle to breathe and fall unconscious from the lack of oxygen ;_;

...

>hype up new character during the 2.0 launch event
>new people get excited about it and download the game
>new character is only on the PTR
>all those new people end up disappointed

I don't know about this move desu

'why don't millenials do x' threads

>Junkrat

God damn if only.

>Autoattack is his standard fire from OW, bounces a grenade towards him on impact making him dangerous to chase and good at wave clear, add some traits to change the direction or make it sticky
>Q Conc mine
>W Conc jump
>E Trap
>Ult 1 Rip-tire, like a moving pufferfish
>Ult 2 SUMMON ROADHOG BERIUM DEEP

>overwatch heroes
>meme heroes
No more Blizz, no more

I'd take the entire roster of OW, consecutively for the next year rather than a single more DUDE WHAT IF WE TOOK A UNIT FROM STARCRAFT 2 AND PRETENDED IT WAS A CHARACTER HAHA DUDE LMAO

...

I hope the next hero is Sombra just to spite you.

...

Tyrande is for _____

I hope you kill yourself

loving

being a below average-average looking girl in the nerd occupation must be the easiest of modes

being the black female representation.

>quick match
>tracer and tychus both have lowest damage done and by around 30% as well
>43% scrapper as johanna

>Not wanting OW Heroes

You're right, lets adopt this hero list instead

starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_StarCraft_II_units

I'll start.

Hellbat, we'll call him Lebalth. We can say he was like, the first ever hellbat so he's strong and cool and taught the other hellbats how to use their powers.

Ok you pick the next hero.

scouting and bolstering the offensive power of ranged units.

How much will 1000 gems set me back?

I don't care, OW heroes are fine. but making your own OC character or hero kits is straight autistic.

...

OW heroes are always cancer
>Tracer
Hyper mobile attack while moving damage cancer
>Lucio
Hyper mobile attack while moving healing cancer
>Zarya
Straight up cancer
>Genji
Oh boy, MORE hyper mobile attack while moving cancer!

>yfw it's a jape and the hero is actually the Innkeeper from hearthstone and the teaser was just him doing some yugioh shit with a Deathwing card or something

>attack while moving
>genji
Thats wrong, good to know we still have bronzies in this thread. Wouldn't want to have too many smart people here.

I'm thinking Zergius the Zergling.

Kerrigan's best friend and totally a valid character.

Next.

from these 3 posts alone you can tell how underage this general is
has happened twice and its not like the only other universe available for heroes is starcraft
what the fuck are you on about? sure if i post random shit i can make anything sound ridiculous aswell , learn to prove your point without acting like a retard faggot
youre just a little bitch i dont know what to tell you , hang yourself i guess

But Zarya is fun, and Genji can't move and attack

make it happen blizzard

>bronzie
god you're so autistic it hurts

WE WUZ HIGH PREESTS OF ELOON AN SHIET

>Whining because character from a game you personally dislike because it's popular are getting characters into the blizzard crossover game
>Calling others autistic

So now the dust has settled, did the epic spell armor rework kill Tyrael?

thanks for proving that youre autistic
im not even that user

i used to build
>regen orbs for more regen quest
>you receive 30% more healing
>you get healing when your shield is attacked

but now they removed that "increased healing" talent, and my build sucks.

>Twice

Thrice, did you forget Sgt. Hammer?

And you know what? That's three times too many. Sperg about how much you hate OW all you want, I really couldn't care less what franchise the next hero comes from (Warcraft is my preference), but to repeat, I'd take the entire cast of OW over one more SC Unit. It's a fucking slap in the face to everyone who likes any of the franchises, ESPECIALLY Starcraft.

Blizzard won't be happy until they remove all survivability talents from Tyrael. It's their fix to make his trait more """"""""""""Impactful"""""""""""""""""

...

Are you seriously implying Starcraft and Warcraft have nothing to pick from and only Overwatch can provide interesting heros? What the fuck

Even more so when actual heroes like Fenix, Stukov and Mengsk are still unused.

Imagine a map that looks like a Hearthstone-board, with the Innkeep as announcer

No, he's implying blizz has made a clear intention to ignore actual starcraft heroes in favor of OC donut steels
