>Pretty fun
Putting living bomb on someone and watching their team explode is pretty fun.

Rexxar is the BEST!!!

xth for wanting to lewd Dream Genie Chromie

Xth for that one guy who always votes for himself in the MVP screen.

You should've seen a few of his prior incarnations.

>Everyone is getting Butcherlisk from beginners chest
>I got Thrall and a Stimpack

t- thanks blizzard

It's a pretty shit legendary honestly.

Whats this beginners chest?
Did I open it without realizing or something? Was it for doing the nexus challenge?

At least you got a chest

Should I strictly be doing unranked instead of quick match at the moment?
I wanna get into ranked soon, does unranked prepare you decently enough for ranked shit?

Remember to do your Veteran Challenge for a free
"Starter Chest" with goodies.

>Known things:
-If you already did the challenge before, you might not earn it
-Chests almost guarantees a couple of epics?
-You can't reroll them

His flamestrike used to spread living bomb. Absolutely disgusting.

Infinite Dragon Chromie when?

No, if you're an existing player go to the Options menu in the lobby then there will be a "Challenges" tab
Complete that and you get a beginners chest with an epic hero, a 1 week stimpack and 2 random items

Never understood the appeal of Kael

His pyroblast is cool and basically a free kill, but still he lacks mobility and I don't feed confortable with his skill set Having to press D every 6 secs is annoying too

Here's what I got.

Jesus that doesn't even sound fair.

Would you propose to Johanna and make her the happiest crusader in the whole wide world?

>mfw my team calls me a pro genji

The amani war bear is nice. loved that mount in WoW

Is there a hero with as much talent diversity as Rexxar?

...

Reposting because my life is garbage and now even my escapism is depressing and I legitimately want to kill myself.

DRAWFAGS

DELIVER SYLVANAS IN CUTE COSTUMES

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Kael is amazingly fun.

Timing when to use D is important, and his skills are absurdly powerful but he requires knowing good placements and having an actual front line.
Also everyone loves explosions.

>elf girls with ear piercings

>That fucking file name

Oh dear god.

Pink Misha skin with Yellow Rexxar when?

>How about self-discipline, cultivate a hobby, read, write, draw, paint, dance and produce something?
>nah lmao, gonna play vidya 24/7 and complain about existencial crisis

Ironic with so much information available people are more retarded than ever

The time has come user

is rag fun to play guys? thinking about picking him up

literally go outside

PLAY SUPP EVERY GAME FROM NOW ON

Nothing quite like turning into a raid boss every two minutes, and he's pretty strong

ye, he kit just feels so smooth

also if you get lava wave you'll have triple the exp contribution of anyone else in the game

(((mounts, banners, sprays, announcers, voicelines, emojis, portraits, rerolling)))

On some maps he's brutally OP.
On other maps he's only somewhat OP.
His D is great.
His W talents are the go-to for newer players since it's an incredibly safe poke build with easy to hit attacks.
His Q build is what makes him insane because he just chunks people with endless self-heals if used correctly.

He has two ultis, one fucks a lane, the other wipes the enemy team.

I fucking love his trait.

>When your friend is the king of the bronzies in his group of bronzie friends
>Decide to play some QM with them
>Bronzie king so used to ordering his drones around he seriously tries to give me (a diamond player) advice on talents, etc

How can I be nice and tell him to fuck off at the same time?

>tfw could have had dual rag team on last brawl but thought we needed another hero more
I regret it so much

"i got it buddy, thanks though"

Hey buddy. I appreciate your advice, but I know the heroes, focus on the others more than me.

Alternatively, unless he absolutely goes "TAKE THIS TALENT, NO EXCEPTIONS" learn to just say "Yeah good thinking" or "I'm actually considering X for Y reasons."

>he actually has trait on d
why don't you put it on 1 like a civilized human being?

>being friends with a bronzos
>being diamond
..heh, it's true..... bronzies have bronzies for friends....

>you used to be able to double living bomb the same target so they instant explode and spread
>long range flame strike that also applied living bomb
I WANT TO GO BACK

if Reichsführer Ragnaros can only incinerate 2 dead jews an hour did the holocaust really happen?

i got like 30legendarys, 24 where champions i call bs on this,

Standardized across all heroes

1 is for activable talents or abilities, like Xul's bone armor.

How do I Dehaka, /hotsg/?
Teach me the ways of COLLECT ESSENCE

maybe its just me, but I prefer to switch trait to 1 and shift active talents over by one slot

maybe its just because i'm used to active items on my 1-6 keys

I can't control his skill level, but he is still an e-friend none the less

push lane
burrow to opposite lane
push it
burrow to the other lane
push it
burrow to the other lane
push it
burrow to team fight
kill people
burrow to lane again
push it
et cetera

Press Alt + F4 to mute the sound he makes when burrowing

Successfully tongue people
Ambush and split push
Collect essence

I have a hobby, I draw, but I'm garbage at it, I work out and other stuff, but I live on a third world country that's dangerous as fuck. Even today there was a shooting the entire day on my street so I couldn't go out.Support? I'm good with support, the few wins I had were with supports, but after a while it gets tiresome.
Is artanis a good "carry"?

find tyrande and stick your tongue in her butt

get burrow talent that makes him stealth
stealth tongue people when its safe
no one ever sees it coming

>bronze advice

I wonder if there are any "Lick ass and chew essence" Dehaka Nukem edits.

>Is artanis a good "carry"?
i wouldn't call him a carry, but he's pretty retard-proof as long as you learn the various q + e combos

but if your team is too dumb to take a free kill delivered to them on a silver platter then there's not much you can do

>I draw

>implying the fucks in diamond/master arent just as retarded

It helps to do it from bush if you can, dragons shrine is good for it for the movement boost

I wish whatever internal metrics decided that I was the appropriate target for all the HOTS ads would also know that I've already been playing the game nonstop for two years.

Where are you supposed to go at the very start of the game?

Like I thought going down the middle as Zarya might be good but stuff doesn't spawn for a while, and when it does typically 2 enemies also come down so I have to back off

Should I just focus on staying alive/killing minions than trying to kill heroes In the early game?

dunno im master mmr even in qm, people pull you out of stealth the moment they see you off position because stealth acutaly only means harder to see not invisible. thats why you play invisible chars like a mage.... and wait for your chance to go in or deal dmg

if team is pushy on level 1 fight go with them since you might save some dumb ass or pick up a kill
If you go to a lane and you are alone eat 2 tower shots with shield right as minion wave comes to give extra damage and drain ammo

Depends on the character. Stay close to gate until you know how the enemy team is laned. Sometimes they five man mid.

If you see them five manning mid and you're top, feel free to push a bit more.

No harm in playing safe early, as there are usually rotating gankers. Just try to clear the wave before it gets in the tower's range.

depends on what you team wants to do, if you are below highdia/master just go mid and brawl a bit, if you want to be smart stay close to mid but at a bush/coner to the lane you want to take so you can poke your enemy that comes down too

as am I and regularly find people crying about stealth and that its broken and OP
but thats the least of my issues with some of the retards honestly

give tribute to the dark lady!

Someone help me
I tried Heroes of the Storm and found it to be detestable.

Why can't I stop thinking about playing it?

>stealth op
only people in bronze or silver think stealth is op
thats why my 70% winrate valeera got nerfed to shit... im so mad. She was fucking fine, coldbold was a but to strong but they could have just nerfed it a bit, but removing it AND e nerf wtf blizzard you want me to spam nova again dont you....

The waifus have already taken control of your mind user, may as well stop fighting it.

I only played as Leoric.

It can sort of grow on you.

>no Jhin in hots
>no Leoric in lol
suffering

>implying Leoric can't be a waifu
Sounds like traitor talk.

Anyone want to be my friend and play with me?

Looking more for a friend rather than just a gaming buddy.

Add me if interested. Ahysates#2449

COWER BEFORE YOUR KING

that feel when blizzard sjw cucks will never release a sexy loli char

>you will never play hots with the entire cast transformed into lolis

>tfw auriel whips you

dat matchmaking

who else afking with leoric to get loot chests

I must obey

Muh dick

>have to get frog lucio skin so i dont have to play a nigger
>hes still chimping out with ebonics

bretty gud

>hate niggers
>buy them in vidya geams anyway

>Azmodan is only a rare hero

What the fuck, you get rares super often. I thought it'd be a lot harder to collect heroes.

Why are some rare/epic/legendary though?

Is there a random option for skins yet?

iirc rare are 4k heroes, epic are 7k and the legendary heroes are the old 10k heroes.

Lost another one

One more loss and I'll enter the 3X% winrate on QM

He's Rare because he's a 2k gold hero.

Swann when?

i thought i could be a cool frog man
reeeeeeeeeee

>play with friends
>lose
>soloqueue
>win 75% of my games

How do I tell em

if that's the case you shouldn't play with your friends to win. just pick stupid shit or try out heroes you aren' great with.

coordinated to do themed teams like similar skins, all starcraft heroes, etc.

Done

What does it mean when someone has the nexus icon where their level would be in a portrait?
Exactly level x00?

source?
