anyone else fucking miserable for the next 20 minutes every time hanamura shows up on the load/draft screen?

how to murkey
how to solo bosses as the gazgob

We will have peace when the furfags and bugfags have been eliminated

You HOTS fucks simply exist for Overwatch players to get skins

You be annoying

You don't

I played the game for ~10 matches and seems like nobody really communicates at all. Also, I didn't get this "woah..!" feeling - I feel like I'm playing top-down Overwatch or something. How do I get interested more about the game?

OFFICIAL GUIDE ON HOW TO DEAL WITH HANASHIT

STEP ONE: INFORM YOUR TEAM THAT YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF PUSHING THE PAYLOAD. IF THEY ASK WHY TELL THEM YOU'RE GIVING THEM THE FULL OVERWATCH EXPERIENCE

STEP TWO: HARVEST THE SALT

STEP THREE: PUSH FORTS BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU'RE TEAM ONLY PUSHES ONE PAYLOAD TO THE ENEMY'S TWO IT WON'T MATTER BECAUSE FORTS

>teammate accidentally triggers boss while chasing anub who was running through it
>rest of teammates try and fight boss
>enemy team comes along and fucks us while the boss is also fucking us
>enemy team gets boss and wins

I wish this had only happened once

>Murky
Take bribe level 1
Solo lane, kill minions with your W
Don't teamfight until you have March at 10
Bribe mercs

EU queues fixed when?
Hanamura reworked when?
Abathur buffs when?
Varian considered tank in QM when?
Better rewards for brawls when?
OP not a faggot when?

Bride Zagara when?
Groom Anub WHEN?

I've never played starcraft but every time I see characters from it I'm impressed with how blatantly it's ripping on warhammer

>come back to HotS
>miss out my dude azmo
>get sinful azmodan skin
>play a match and literally 1v1 lunara with a quick hot shot snipe with Q at the end
>we just shit on them with my help
>mvp
based as fuck to be honest
i love this hero

Games Workshop and Blizzard used to work together initially on Starcraft and Warcraft, but Games Workshop dropped out for some reason

>nobody really communicates at all
Spam ping thing.

Well the entirety of earlier to current WoW designs also blatantly rips off Warhammer, so you can be impressed by that. Mostly the size of the men and the armor designs though. By armor I mean oversized shoulderpads.

>user posts how much he fucking hates MOBAs of all kinds
>"oh he must be from league"
You're not too bright, user.

It also has the shittiest plot and ending out of all blizzard games.

However it also has waifus which warhammer does not so it's a hard choice really.

That's how both Warcraft and Starcraft got their starts. Blizz couldn't get licensing or something, and so decided to just file the serial numbers off.

Look, Garithos, the least you can do is spice up the image every now and then if you're gonna keep shitting up the thread.

im playing since alpha and never tried ranked
and now with 10min waiting times Qmeme in EU
its finally time to get shit on in HL

From what i understand no one in blizzard was really that excited about working with GW. It was just a meh kinda thing.

I wish I didn't stop playing this game; quit around when Lost Vikings came out.
Hopefully I keep playing it for a while now.

like i said

they should change the challenge to WIN GAMES and make it unranked/QM only

Enjoy it while it lasts. He pretty much throws a wrench into every draft at higher MMRs.

Actually, they did get licensing, they just didn't like their past experiences dealing with jumping through that bullshit system. They wanted to work with something they owned, instead of dealing with that headache. And they ran it better than Games Workshop ever dared to with Warhammer.

youtube.com/watch?v=_zSxQnZ3TM8

>they should make the challenge WIN GAMES
Then they'd get a tiny fraction of the number of people they currently get to install the game

>unranked/QM only
restricting it from AI just means more throwers

Look, man, the point isn't actually to have a challenge players need to overcome to get a skin. The point is to get as many people as possible to install HOTS so they can hook a tiny percentage of those people and get more microtransactions.

Blizzard was stupid to make the prizes after week 1 require quick play/unranked/ranked.
Get ready for thousands of throwing OW players in a circumstance literally anyone could have seen coming.

Anyone here experience issues with tabbing out and game bringing itself back to the frontmost?

>in draft guy says he's new and locks in rexxar
>okay whatever
>I'll feed if anybody is toxic
>dude what
>get into game on dragon shire
>one guy afk so valla pings danger/retreat on bush in middle
>rexxar walks into it, dies 1v5
>valla says something
>rexxar rants about how toxic players need to go back to league
>proceeds to walk into towers for the rest of the game

This'll be burned into my brain forever.

ay
nice

As of last season placement queues were 5-12 minutes but dropped to 1-3 after finishing, not sure if still the case

>not liking bugs
WHY?

Zul'jin is cute! I want to hug the bad guy!

>play with Veeky Forums
>sylvanas in every single game
when do you shitters learn that she is garbage tier since her last nerf?

Yeah, it does that to me; I think it happens whenever the game wants to capture mouse input.

>tfw Gazlowe laser tower fire squad
Never been so satisfying, seeing enemies being disintegrated by ten simultaneous lasers

>New character is release
>Easy loot boxes leveling them to 10
D.va when ???

Black Tyrande is objectively best skin

>Wow added crooked lanky trolls instead of straight back muscle fitness gods as playable characters.

Cassia is pretty fun, especially with all these dumb Overwatch heroes giving free quest completion.

does tychus d work during overkill

>win 9 games in a row
>lose 4 games in a row
ready for the forced 50% 5 next losses desu

3 weeks

>cassia throws hot potato on you
>better get close to her

you cant make this shit up

Best part is Tracer could've made it despawn if she used recall instead of blink.

cower before YOUR KING

It may have been on CD.

anyone just fucking sick of valeera

i end up giving up 90% of the time because if she's on my team she's absolute garbage, and if she's on the enemy team she will singlehandedly win the game

>Taking quests on cassia
the fuck is wrong with you user

Low skill stomper. Anti-fun hero that noobs can't deal with.

>11 minute and counting
god damn it
dont tell me it will be the same for all 10 matches

bugfag here, i need a source for this

It's a possibility.

Hopefully it speeds up after a game or two.

Yeah, though, BR is pretty fucking clown fiesta and I get to solo bullshit that shouldn't be solo'd as Azmo.

Why not? Her quests both seem really strong.

Every single time I get a butcher on my team I pray they disconnect and let the bot take over. The bot for butcher is fucking godlike and destroys as long as you ping him and keep him from dangerous areas.

heroesfire.com/hots/talent-calculator/cassia#oPNz
Literally the best build for her involves no quests

>In assassins megabundle
>Sexy female elf assassin with TWO daggers
>Demon skins
>Stealth

These recipes combined creates the ultimate normie hero whom all normies flock to whom you will see until the next stealthy cool dude is released, it was the same with Nova.

She's really fun tho

Who are counterparts for Lux and Sona?

ecks fucking dee
gj on giving people free wins while simultaneously making it a chore to play

i.4cdn.org/aco/1493669165910.jpg

lucio and uther?

you have to go back

This still pisses me off to no end ever since the BC launch and introduction of unique models for forest trolls. That's probably the reason I could never play a troll for long in WoW.

What's even worse though is that art at the time still depicted Darkspear trolls as muscled and strong. I wish Blizzard had given them the models of the Amani trolls but in blue&purple when BC hit.

Did week 2 of the Nexus event start yet?

Can I get my Overwatch Dva skin now?

Post loadouts

Reaper in HoTS when

Maybe its not so bad that Zul'jin died, his race of trolls is literally the shittiest and most uninteresting.

>playing thrall

Lucio, Uther, brightwing, lili

No never come back

legendary valla skin

Why is Gazlowe such an unbearable useless piece of shit?

buffs for this slut when?

>his mmr is low enough to get matched with OW players

I'll come back and get match maked with you faggot.

how do I anub'arak
is the way to get gold to level to 5-10 with dailies still?
is kael'thas still batshit broken, how is he now and what build is favored?
what's the best way to go about hoarding/spending the 3 different currencies?

just came back to play again after a long while, any answers would be grand

Considering they just nerfed Valeera because of qm shitters, never.

Healthy young troll goes to witchdoctor, gets pumped with massive shot of horde, doesn't feel good and changes - CROOKED. So sad. Many such cases!

>Wanting to buff shitty heroes shitters already pick 97% of the time

Learn to play a real hero, Nova can get removed from the game

Hey friends.

I made another thing in SFM.

I hope you like it.

Be a huge bully with all your stuns.
Maybe?
I hear he's been toned down, but I don't play him.
Gems should probably be saved for bundles or heroes you really want. Gold should be used for heroes and rerolling chests, but try not to go crazy with rerolling. Shards just use to make whatever cosmetic shit you want, they're good for nothing else.

Never. Terrible design that has no place in HotS.

nice link my friend

>First ban
>people ban Lucio
but why

Because they didnt give him a cool robot form like they did in Warcraft 3

Which girl has the biggest tits in HotS?

I dont play much Hots because im a dirty OW player.

Since I gotta play against actual people this week, what hero can I pick to cause the most annoyance to the enemy.

ty user

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

oy vey that nose

Because he's broken.

By cup size, Sonya

Proportionally, Chromie.

In non downscaled size, Zagara.

she is currently a dominatrix for femdomempire

What?

I'm glad you like it.

Here's something from last thread.

where the FUCK is imperius?

right, but if you ban first, you also pick first. Ergo, you don't ban him, if they don't ban him, you get him. Ban him, and they get a free ban.

>Solid healing
>Insane mobility
>Good damage
>Unreal sustain
>Not even mana hungry

geez, I don't know fampai, you tell me
