waifu poll

strawpoll.me/12837427

someone kill me

how come uther isn't on this?

australia please go

>Drawfags

This thread is too dead to have any.

>Who is you're waifu?

fuck your shit poll

...

Why is backdooring even allowed in this casual-ass game?

>Mad Valeera fag

Add fandral staghelm and velen(or any other wow priest, besides tyrande) to your list.

>no cheerleader sylvanas, showing her superior midriff
>no weeb skin sylvanas showing her massive tits and ass
PAIN

I'm a drawfag that's made several meme images for this general but I just don't have the time/passion to draw like I used to.

I'll try to make more stuff if able, but life is rough buddy, i do bes.

Because they nerfed the abilities for everyone that could do it to the point where it's ineffective compared to straight pushing?

>he has so little map awareness he doesn't realize someone is backdooring

>you will never in gear with her rear

Butcher is almost broken, given the right circumstances. Given that anyone with a brain gets the meat talent on lvl1, your damage becomes retarded in the late game, while everyone else stays the same, allowing you to push like the literal 20t truck that you are.

>let solo pusher autistically push slowly for 18 minutes
>wtf why this happen???

Post yfw D. Va reveal

Velen is listed

Same could be said for every hero, in the right circumstance.

Every hero had a niche in which they are broken strong, but all have counters.
Some moreso than others, but you get the idea.

>Lane against Zagara
>She uses Hydralisk
>I die

Convince me to play this game.
Post the most lewd asses.

What is this, 2015?

Just kill it, lol. It has like 200 hp now.

>no Zagara
What an absolutely shit poll

>Grubby thinks Zeratul is harder than Valeera

Lmao why do people watch this Silver Surfer?

That pic is pretty good I'd say, just do a death metal sylvanas that shows off her tummy. Have that skin interact with etc

sylv is one of the top 5 heroes you massive shitboy

the game literally pings it for them

butcher is a lategame carry hero

granted, he's 1.5 heroes in the lategame, but if the enemy team bullies him, he will never catch up. Even later, if he puts out brand but gets blinded by an Auriel or Li Li or something (after charging), he dies.

...

Valeera is hars because she is bad.

Zeratul is hard because he's good.

See the difference?

Swann when?

>google search
>whatever you want +r34
>heroes of the storm r34
Its literally that easy

Is Alarak any good?

Valky'r Sylvanas
Or to keep with an angel theme, Devil of Love Sylvanas, to rival Tyrande
WIDE
BIRTHING
HIPS

Zagara can't be your waifu, she's already Anub's waifu.

Melee mage with non ulti silence.

Buerty good imo

>Stuck in a match for 30 minutes with 2 people just there for meme skins
>They just complain and call the game shit for those 30 minutes

He's a high skill ceiling hero who sadly depends on his enemies to be a bit stupid to get them mad ganks and big damage.

>Pic unrelated

is every level 1mil exp or do they get harder the higher level you are?

This is why people have a bad taste for this game. Shitters like this ruin matches, turns actual interested new players off.

>you will never fuck zagaras upper half

Exp to level caps put at 1.25mill, level 11. About 5 games to level with stim, few more without.

>tfw you just want to play a real game
>get hanamura
Fucking meme map feels like some aram garbage mode
This isn't the kind of innovation the genre needs blizzard

>Have a dream I'm playing some new character
>dying a lot
>Tyrande rips out my eyes at one point to blind me
>as in literally blinded, not just in game
>head over to /hotsg/ to ask for advice
>remember character doesn't actually exist

They looked like a mix between Johanna and Valla, they had a pistol in one hand and a cleaver in the other

Fox in Hots when?

Which heroes should I figure out the builds for and practice before doing HL placements?

>play objective
>have spats in the jungle
>cuck people out of camps
>contest battles at turn in

or

>new player QM
>everyone ignores everything
>both teams 5 man walk carts in, no contest
>boring shit

Map is good if everyone is compitent.

>HELLFIRE BARB
>Wanting to add a non blizzard character.

>qm gazlowe
>get hanamura
>ignore the first payload, get top fort and keep
>ignore second payload, get bot fort and keep
>win game

It's funny because the payloads don't dissappear, so you can have 3 or 4 people contesting and a solopusher push all of their shit and then use the empowered payloads to deliver more damage than autistically committing 5 players to 1 damage payload.

tyrande's got thighs like a goddess and an ass that'll make you yass

she's also a great support character

>tfw no extra exp for playing the random hero in QM

>Tyrande will never rip out your eyes making you blind to the horrors of this world

is it too much to ask to just win one fucking game

>play cassia in qm
>all mages
>don't play cassia in qm
>illidan valeera tyrande tychus

>playing cassia in the first place

Is unranked even worth playing or should I just stick with QM until I get enough heroes to 5 to start playing ranked?

I don't even know what heroes you're supposed to ban (and on which maps)

which pack has the most value?

Assassins you FUCKER

If you don't mind the wait, unranked is better than qm solely because you'll get a bit more balanced comps.

The 9ne that gives you the most heroes.

Just ask your team who they want banned. You'll slowly learn bans that way (as well as watching other people ban)

Pretty sure unranked gives bonus xp too unless that's only for ranked

>people keep singing praise on my pretty galaxy mount
like why? it's not like i made it, i just bought it

i really liked Medivh when I played him with friends

How badly am I going to get fucked playing him solo?

always ban new heroes if someone hovers them on your team

>"I'm returning to basecamp"
this irks so much that i will NEVER play cassia

fuck cassia

>Eagle Eye Tyrande is wearing some kind of metal pants
>they are still somehow form fitting around her ass

I wish they had just made them look like spandex tbqh
Nothing beats spandex.

love goddess tyrande doesnt wear panties

unranked is better practice for ranked if you want to practice comps and drafting.
qm is better for practicing heroes, since you'll have to adapt to many different situations, as well as always getting the hero you want.

she is so fucking hot though
i don't even play tyrande like never but i played her several times today just to look at her

>good goy mount

>Drawfags
Give me suggestions, I'll try my best

At this moment considering or

I just don't how what a weeb skin looks like

so does literally every other moba you tard.

But we got 1000 free gems with the patch.

Nuke Hanamura! Fuck that map!

draw lewd elf pics obviously

So, for Varian, at which situations do I pick Colossus Smash over Taunt?

Last Draft game, I was Varian with a team of Kael, Anubarak, Xul and Brightwing versus Lucio, Muradin, Falstad, Arthas and Tyrande

Since I realized they didnt have much dive potential but had quite a bunch of priority targets that needs to be blown up, I went with Colossus Smash instead of Taunt so the combo with Anubarak and Kael'thas can blow up their backline instantly

Was that the right call?

>you will never fuck zagaras lower half.

>Are you the only tank?
Take taunt
>Is the other tank more of a bruiser than you are?
Take taunt
>Do you need some sort of Stun/CC?
Take taunt
>No to the above?
Take smash

yes, but hard to play well. He's also a bit of a pussy compared to other melee assassins like Ragnaros and Kerrigan who can royally fuck shit up.

>zeratul just stands there stealthed and watches the entire team die
why

Chen as Chris Hansen.

Stealthies are cancer

>Kerrigan
How to combo? I feel like I can never chain my combos or time it efficiently

Maybe its just my shitty pc/connection, but I wish I could play her better she is one of the few assassins I don't feel confortable to go 8/0 easily

xul says "I'm returning to town... Uhh... Base... whatever." sometimes when you hearth.
I thought it was kinda clever.

>tfw you play genji and the enemy team has a li ming who is a dipshit and goes disentigrate or a cassia who dashes you
