Where the FUCK is Maiev????

First for WHERE IS DVA REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

dubs picks my new main

...

Previously :

Week 3 and 4 are kinda disappointing

Auriel!

Jaina is CUTE!

I don't think anyone will be stupid enough to stand around your bomb for literally 3 seconds.

a whore*

Fuck off Kael

Jaina has probably fucked every type of cock you can get in WoW
probably at the same time too

En taro Artanis
En taro Tassadar

What hero bundle did you buy?

strawpoll.me/12887565

>Win Promotion game.

How are your guys HL games going?

wow how has disney not sued blizzard for this obviously stolen character?

i haven't yet, what should i get?

the one that appeals to you the most AKA the one with the hero(s) you want

>Your top 4 are now your roommates
what do?

personally, I'd try drop subtle hints that i'm a submissive bitch to Auriel so she might try to tie me up and have her way with me. also i'd conspire with tychus to kill li li

whatever gives you the highest number of heroes you don't have

which one is that?

fuck the three and laugh at tychus who's locked inside his suit

none because I have most heroes

Xth for Dehaka throwing for the kids.

Azmodan.

Alright, are we really entering a "most heroes good" situation? It used to be that just 4 heroes were good and everyone else was just filler. Those four heroes cycled quickly, like when Diablo+Tyrande was by far the best or when you could only play Kael or Mingas Assassins.

Now I'm not sure.

Assassin, cause I'm not a fucking cuck.

>tfw the person behind who does these sprays is the same one that does bara stuff of league

WHEN THE FUCK IS WHITEMANE?!?!?!

I want to avoid healing my DPS until his asshole explodes so I can ARISE, MY CHAMPION!

Go on **reddit** they have a value calculator to see which one is worth the most

why does her left tit look like a sad waterballoon

i was using the stylized sylvanas one but then i got this in a box, this is literally the best spray

None of them because I already have every hero.

Alternatively spend thirty seconds adding up each bundle in your head.

Yes, everyone is pretty balanced with a few outliers mostly due to kit, not necessarily number power.

ETC is pretty bad right now, Medivh is hard to play. The rest are pretty solid in the right situations.

If I get this map one more time I'm gonna commit hanamura

Help

How the fuck do you even play arlak?

Every time I try I end up being an anchor

It wants to be modeled in HoTS.

>tfw have to fight hammer and KT for jaina

now this i can get behind

So what the fuck do you do in draft? I once first picked Auriel like a moron and got told off, because guess what, a character being good doesn't mean they are first pick.

I have all heroes but like 7. I basically play everything. Last time I did placements, I got 6 wins but my most wins with a particular character was 1.

I keep trying to fill holes and counter the enemy team, but shit's more complicated than it seems.

lewd tyrande bikini skins soon!

Everything is good, but not all the time. You need to know maps and counters to draft proper.

For example, don't take Xul on any map that isn't spider queen, towers of doom, or Blackhearts. When you take him on those maps you get full value from his strengths, but on other maps he's outclassed by other heroes.

Same goes for all heroes, you just need to know them all and when they are good and why.

Ragnaros may as well be a fucking tank with how much healing that asshole has

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to give him TWO defensive talent tiers?

is she white
i don't wanna catch myself having jungle fever or being into beastiality

I'm downloading right now, what bundle should I get?

So, I get simple stuff like that or how don't pick Chen into Muradin or Kael, pick someone with AOE like Sonya or Jaina on Altars, pick someone with poke on channeled objectives, etc.

But there seems to be so many gaps in my knowledge. You get halfway through the game and then people start pointing out problems with our Comp.

I just pick Gul'Dan and call your teammates queers

Finally

Is Cassia a safe buy? The only other assassin's I have are Raynor and Thrall

Purple.

There's a lot of depth in drafts, sometimes countering the enemy team just isn't enough.

Even great combos don't always work in optimal situations. There is a lot of room for error and superb map play from the enemy team that can invalidate your countering.

Maybe a deserve Gold 5 then.

Okay /hotsg/ I just started playing today, played up until level 10 and I've just took a break. Can someone explain to me if I'm missing something fundamental here, or if I've just had shitty bad luck

>bottom lane 1v3
>Hey I can't keep these guys back, I need help
>Silence
>Triple threat chuckle rolls up to the core while the rest of my team obliviously spins in circles at top
>Defeat

>Playing that desert temple map (can't remember name)
>The shrine things come online
>Cool now I can deal some good damage to their forts
>Holding a point solo and fighting off Anubis enemies
>Rest of the team sitting at top ignoring their shrine and spinning in circles
>Guys they're all pushing bot come help
>Team mate: "Be quiet"
>"Why it's a team game"
>"Then why isn't there mic chat" he says
>Fuck if I know
>Enemy team obliterates me, and chucklerolls up bottom to the core
>Defeat

>Pushing top with ally
>Crushing enemy fort, going balls deep
>Three other teammates get caught out in mid
>Omg wake up AFK you're not even pushing
>Have leading siege damage
>Enemy team defeat boss to storm up bot lane
>Allies go mid and ignore the boss that almost single-handedly takes out our core
>Hearth back in time to watch allies get caught out in mid again by 5 stack
>Finish off boss that everyone ignored
>Utterly powerless
>Defeat

I don't understand why my teammates are ignoring lanes, I either end up defending solo and get steamrolled, or the lane gets steamrolled anyway because there's nobody there. Am I retarded? Am I the one at fault here? Or is this typical low level shitter play?

welcome to qm and mobas in general

Play comfort to get out of gold/plat, then use your draft abilities in diamond +.

Gold players often have the issue of relying on counters and tier lists and put themselves in situations where they simply aren't good enough on the heroes they pick to win.

>be quiet
>why isn't there mic chat
holy shit this is some next level retardation
I'm glad I'm at least level 150 so I avoided the crazy wave of fresh noobs and idiots

I've played a heck of a lot of dota and even the cheekiest breeki knows that you need a hero in every lane at the beginning of the game, I've never seen anything like this before

>Or is this typical low level shitter play?
pretty much, also all mobas are like this

sounds like your team just doesn't want to play the game in general, just play angry meat man.

They always act like I'm personally attacking them, but I always ask as politely as possible because nothing irritates me more than a team on tilt throwing the game.

Oh and it gets worse

>Second game of the day
>Things are going well, got the enemy on the back legs
>Suddenly two teammates say lets lose
>"Why?"
>Because then we can get the D-va skin ^_^
>Both of them feed over and over for the rest of the game
>The 3 of us manage to miraculously win somehow

But fuck me what to heck

>we only lost because you picked abathur
>yeah it's a 4v5 because of you
when will this meme end

This game has a meme fight 5v5 in mid at level 1. At low level, just don't go with them.

Don't talk in chat unless you're flirting with the support or something. If your team doesn't know how to play the game one derogatory comment from you won't change anything.

I guess I need to just figure out what my comfort picks are for each role. Can't just spam Sonya and Chen.

How do I build Gul'Dan?

66th for varian is for shitters who cant tank without W facerolling

>mfw maraudin muradin
god damn i want that skin so bad

Why would you even play an assassin when Auriel, Uther and Li-Li exist?

It's not derogatory, it's 'can I get some help at bot please I'm 1v4.'

When

The dark lady awaits your daily tribute!

Buddy up with Naz so that when the other 3 kill me I can hang out on the Other Side.

>Johanna was my first character
>Level her to 5 and try a damage dealer
>Feel like I die immediately in CC hell if I try to get close enough to do damage.

What's a good beginner damage dealer? I suck with them right now after playing nigh unkillable Johanna.

It's often true, though, at least to an extent.

>40% win rate
>mu-muh teammates didn't build a composition around me
>it's their fault
gas slug players

Yeah, just like every other game. Is this surprising, or something?

>I just started and everybody I'm with/against is bad
you don't say

>ywn be a kawaii gook girl
FEELS AWFUL LADS

>update
>please restart the game
>restart the game
>you have been disconnected from bnet

very clever blizzard, very clever

>an update is available please restart the game
>"Fixed Gem Display"
>try to relog

LEGENDARY

It's the first time I've ever played Heroes, so yeah it is suprising

>that spread
who's she inviting?

Someone on EU can't log in after that retarded patch to fix gems purchasing?

Le lil multibillionaire jew company

She only fucks aboms like stitches

that's where you're wrong kiddo

[soiler]all the stylized ones are good and only ones worth using[/spoiler]

>Miss 3k to get to level 5 with Johanna
>I can do this last one later, I'll go grab a sammwich
>Come back to PC
>Battle.net is shitting the bed

sometimes you have to abandon the lane and not pick the fight the enemy is trying to force, if its futile, dont feed, do something useful even if your instict dictates you must stay
dieing solo is the worst thing you can do

Will somebody play with me just so I can get the Overwatch shit? I've literally never played, I just want to do the Nexus challenge.

just qm dude. you don't have to win

There's nothing to do, if I leave they steamroll our defences, if I stay they steamroll our defences, my team will not listen or even pay attention

I thought it had to be with a friend?

>patch
>cant log in
nice game hotstards

oh right. just ask in general chat

Blizzard updates cash shop and now i cant log in.

Nice.

It's the SC2 engine, if they fix how the gems are displayed 1000 things can go wrong.

more trash skins have to be put at legendary value, stupid goy

help

Good patch, negroes.

>gifting never

At least I have a Cass skin to look forward to.

Gul'dan is always a good choice. Good damage, great wave clear, amazing ult.

Ranged heroes, try Raynor for the long range, get-off button and his self-heal. He's the most fundamental hero there is. Playing him well translates into playing ANY ranged AA well.

If it's less straightforward damage, try Tass. He's nigh immortal if you're not shit and can dish out a lot of damage with Archon, and particularly with the endless archon upgrade. Good waveclear and siege, too.
