WHEN.

After Maiev

Why do people want Deathwing anyway? He's just a boring edgelord.

third for what fucking prime evil color do I craft

Where the FUCK is Maiev???

Leoric skin

So when he makes it into the game

I imagine that he is like Leoric, only slower and hits much much harder. In fact his design philosophy should be like this
>If you want to kill him you have to get close, but if you get close then you're dead.

...

I just fall for the hype train every time.

Also, if they do get some balls and try to put in full on dragon DW, we get another absurd unique hero like Cho'gall or Abathur or Murky.

Red is best

>grubby in the OP again
>AGAIN
youre doing it on purpose faggot, are you not

im going to imagine he has a sort of Arthas E (aoe field around him for damage named DONT STAND IN THE FIRE), probably a huge chunking ability like Tracer's melee, maybe something that lets you transform into dragon form to shoot a fireball that explodes and leaves lava pools on the ground, and then heroics would probably be cataclysm (huge aoe around himself that shits out DoT fire damage that ramps up the longer people stay in it.) or Madness, transforms him into a massive corrupted form, and just starts launching corrupted metal shards like the raid fighht, but in a manner like Gall's shadowfire projectiles

learning Medivh

should I take the Q damage quest or the other one?

master's touch always, unless you're a bitchhhhhhhhh

>If you pick Deathwing you are the battlefield
>Grab your teammates with your tentacles then do a barrel roll

Master Touch is the only talent that matters.

Be warned, if you die before finishing it, it resets.

I want to FUCK Li Li

Hammer doesn't have an excuse not to help with mines at level 10+, her Napalm's circumference like the perfect size for the creeps

>using BFG
Nevermind

>Try out Medivh today
>Fail the quest 3 times in 3 matches
>Decide to not play greedy
>Get it
>Proceed to 1v1 anyone.

>Varian is literally just Warrior class from WoW
>uses mana

Arcane explosion is fine if you dont think youll finish touch.

>mana
>doesn't see the fact that it literally fucking says energy

I think that first 3 games in every day should award a common chest
WOuld be nice and result in much more active player base

That's Valeera.

They should add Alexstraza because I like her boobies.

She's a big dragon (female)

I would have love to clear out the mines.

But teammates were feeding non-stop from the beginning, and then every teamfight was "chase Probius through a narrow corridor and get gangbanged by Pylons + Graviton Surge + Phoenix". 5 of the 6 deaths were trying to help the team in the mines in the first 10 minutes.

I gave up and went straight for the Core instead. Turns out the enemy team was having too much fun killfarming my teammates so they ignore me until it was too late. Objectives are important but when people are just streaming in there to suicide because they don't know how not walk into a Pylon setup, I just skip them altogether because if we're going to lose the objective from feeding anyway, I'm going to just take a keep and tp back to defend later. ESPECIALLY if we're talking early game.

Why the fuck does malfurions and lilis healing work on robot kaltheas?
I fucking HATE lore being broken

Malfurion's healing is actually nanobots. Why do you think he has access to MULE?

Who is your favorite character? tell me something about her

same now post more

>You will never by tied up by dryads only to have Tyrande strip off in front of you and tease you, finally making you cum hands free with just how much of a lewd elf she is

Robokael has a human stomach inside him. Ingenious design.

Before complaining about robo Kael'thas, you could at least complain about Lt. Morales being able to heal Probius.
Medics cannot heal probes in StarCraft. In fact probes, like all protoss machines, cannot be repaired at all. Damage to their HP is permanent.

It's magic, you monumental autist. Why would magic be able to reallign organic material to its previous state but unable to do the same to inorganic stuff?

She protects the streets of New New York with her grappling hook and boob armor.

...

why do Uther's heals work on Arthas, Anub'arak, Diablo, Azmodan, Butcher, Leoric, Stitches and Sylvanas?

>be careful about who you make fun of in middle school

>yfw Super hero Sonya has bigger bobs then regular Sonya

He says "no homo' before healing them

Dang, Zul'jin got beefy.

Amazing what years and years of boiling hot orc semen being pumped up your ass can do for you.

whats the point of crystals?
should i just spend them on skins i like?

Is there a way to counter abathar so he's not just allowed to be an asshole sitting in spawning shitting out symbiotes forever?

Zeratul.

Kill him.

>sitting in spawn
If he's doing that early game, your team already won.

If you mean shards, yes. Spend them on whatever cosmetic item you desire.
If you mean gems, spend them on heroes to save gold.

Sitting in spawn is a self-counter dont worry

What's the difference between gems and shards? I thought they were the same thing

The Light abandon snowman

So, Anub has been saying Kinky for decades now. But did he ever just say Cheeky? Was Kinky making fun of Cheeky?

Gems are blue, you probably only have 1000 of them, and they're acquired either a paltry amount every 25 levels or with real money purchase.
Shards are white, and you get them from duplicates in your crates.
Shards are used for crafting cosmetics, gems are used for buying heroes or skins.

>decide to try Stitches
>enemy tank is Leoric

Starting to do ranked with a friend. What are some good warriors to focus on for progressing?

Hanamura is SHIT

It tells you in the game.

Gems = real money. They buy any heroes, featured cosmetics and lootboxes. Shards craft specific cosmetics. Gold rerolls chests and buys heroes.

Thanks user, I knew you got gems from dupe boxes but haven't opened a dupe myself yet so I just assumed it was added to your shard counter

She's tough. I'm so trash at her. The crown ends up staying on the dead Gazlowe and I whip people just far enough for them to get away and not stun them.

Ugh.

>tfw you try to photoshop your match history but you fail and delete your post

>Jaina

Wait a second.....

You get shards from dupe boxes.

Why is HotS so much less popular than Dota?

>faking your match history on a Nexus gardening forum

teach me how to /tychus/ fampai

this guy is fuking hard to play

>got warned for posting asses last thread

riparooni

It was a glitch in the game, guys. I didn't photoshop anything, it's blizzard's fault.

push D
right click enemy that is near you
pray your support keeps you alive as you burn everything before your gaze into a pool of muck in a matter of seconds

Odin's a meme trap, drop the laser during a swarm of minions and fuck structures up while using overkill to blow their minion waves the fuck out

I know, I should've left that one match with Jaina.

Now you guys will never believe me.

because light does not abandon.

tried that with Diablo and he just flipped me.

attack range is very short.

Uh, I'm bad at him too, but don't use your Q unless you need the spread or chase, it is less DPS than your trait. Trait is for high HP targets, typically tanks.

Your grenade has multiple uses. Its knockback can finish people, push you away, push them away.

I've seen either ult. Odin is fragile, despite appearance and used mostly for the range and AOE aspect.

All this is easier said than done, evidenced by my winrate.

Sorry, buddy. Enjoy the game. Not like we know your username.

>Have opened like 3 Johanna skins, the most for any character I actually play

So how do you play her, her damage seems bad but at least she doesn't have to stand still to pull+stun people

I bought the tank bundle. Who do I lvl for ranked.

Is thrall good I got a legendary skin for him.

Also give me a good build for dakura or dahuta I forget his name.

>the game is finally out of beta
>there's now players
>this threads won't be as dead as it used to be
>we might finally have some quality drawings

She is a peel machine. Do not expect any damage. She was recently nerfed to be more specialized, with less HP and physical armor. Pick her against AA teams.

She should never die though save team over yourself. Blind AA people, peel with W. Condemn fleeing people.

Her W stuns minions, so she's got ai'ght waveclear, but her only damage is Burning Rage.

>Thycus gets full hp when casting odin
>along side with an abathur piloting an odin
Those were the days.

Tyrande's butt

Lets just hope that the smut increases their output as well. To little porn of the girls in this game

>blizzard gives me free shit to play their game
>i've played 2 matches this week

You can't pay me to play this piece of shit

>Li Ming will never piss on your face

how can i 1v1 literally anyone with johanna? i am completely immortal but i can't even kill an amoeba

I'm hooked.

I got warned by making fun of chan culture. The jannies are cuccboys

What are /hotsg/'s thoughts on this tier list?
docs.google.com/document/d/1UHCxA5ITmhhufV41O1QsFvFDm61abFqsa1TfR5SePNM/preview

Who's the worst character currently?

I assume peeling just means yanking away characters that are on my teammates?

Thanks for the advice, it'll probably take a while for me to learn who the major AA characrers are god how do people play MOBAs have to learn like 200 characters and all their abilities

I'm looking forward to some valla / valeera, cassia/jaina.

I think we definitively need some amazon shit.

Roadhog skin for Stitches when. (lets face it, the only thing that would be different between the two, is how one heals, and one having a channeled shotgun burst that knocks back everything)

Valve pays money to tens of thousands of yuropoors and thirdworlders to populate both their tournaments and social media platforms including d2g.

They use steam money for dota 2 in order to hamper the popularity of lol and riot on order to prevent tencent from taking over their gaming software monopoly in the west.

>no Zenyatta skin for Sherazim
>No torbjorn skin for Muradin

Disappointing tbqh

When will they release a futa skin for Kerrigan?

it really is. They wouldnt need to include the full roster from OW if they just do it like that for a few of the heroes, like they did with Nova and Widowmaker

Brap

then if they want to add those characters it will just be troublesome and have to modify the skins like they did for novazon / cassia

How is The Butcher able to collect meat from Probius?

The real answer is that Blizzard didn't lock HotS pro streams behind Facebook.
