Xth for Li Li a CUTE!

holy cunt muffins let locust nest be an abathur base skill PLEASE

I fucked up youtube links

Just gonna post the best Chromie build in case people were wondering what it is

When do you build Jaina as anything other than Q spam?

Is Jaina good at all?

REMINDER

Xth for Anub'arak is the best.

This was actually my first thought after playing a match on him in preseason. It wouldn't push him over the top, surely?

Xth for Bandle please draw us some Chromie

jaina is great for pushing and you can win teamfights by pressing r

If only.

Ring of Frost. Wait for more than a few people to stack up in team fights then press all your buttons. Friendly reminder that it's actually a ring and targets in the center are unaffected.

This
Draw Trist fucking Chromie or something less lewd

...

Zagara needs mad buffs

>It wouldn't push him over the top, surely?
He's already in a pretty good place right now, I wouldnt want to push him into the "danger zone" if I were you, you dont want to finish like Zag right ?

Are Lucio and Malfurion the only solo healers for most maps?

>When you complete the first quest and can see enemies before they see you

4730 shards, what legendary should i craft cucks

Working on it!

Desert Zagara

...

Cydaea WHEN

>chomrie x dianlo
>not chomie x uther

does this game have memes

>Taking Ice lance over Frostbitten
There's only one good build on Jaina, and that's not it.

Overwatch got a map before Warcraft.

Think about it.

>Tfw been playing hots non stop for 12h
Is this what fun feel like ?

no actually, rather surprising when you think about it

based

Ye.

Lovely to hear.

I'm still mad.

>wahh muh warcraf assassins

Gimme that Arathi Basin or Warsong Gulch.

They could have used Alterac Valley Or Warsong Gulch as maps. But I suppose they want to have a concept for a map that's different instead of what's already in the game with a Warcraft skin.

A Deathwing map would be pretty baller.

>stealth assassins are broken!

Thats the best bronze meme on this game

Illidan 10 thousand years of feeding
Genji "I need healing"

Our meme game is pretty weak when you think about it, we should probably do something

>UNLEASH THE PUNISHER HEROES! LET IT TEAR OUR FOES APART! MWHUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

I love getting this guy as announcer, he REALLY gets into the whole "killing the Angel" thing.

That meme has existed since at least Starcraft 1 it's not unique to this game

Are these good builds for Jaina?

I find them annoying to fight against because it's another thing you have to pay attention to. And every single time your attention wanes for just a second, you end up dying. There's a reason why there's so many anti-stealth abilities in the game.

Is that using the old Water Elemental?

Those are objectively the ONLY builds for Jaina. Well more like build, as in singular because there's only one difference between them.

If you think anything else is viable you're below bronze.

How do I do anything as Murky? How is the slime quest even a thing? I can't hit anyone a second time with it, since I either explode during the 4s cooldown, or waste my bubble and explode the moment I get that second slime (or even don;t get that since the guy gets unslimed while I'm in un-turnoff-able bubble)

>vs AI no longer listed in my daily quests
Did they finally fix it?

Oh baby

A one lane Alterac Valley map with 5 forts and and a keep with a super boss in the base instead of a core.

That level 1 talent is shit
Here are the best Jaina builds
Ults are situational

>water elemental
no

I could see it as a brawl, actually.

>water elemental
Questionable.

Try to lane against someone who's melee. Then you can 'poke' with it to get more quest hits. Or if you're feeling particularly suicidal Slime, then bubble and Slime again when it expires.

We have a few. Emphasis on "few".

>Ring of 'Just walk out of it'
The only time Ring of Frost is any good is if you have someone else to combo with it, because you will NOT hit it on its own.

I go fury varian and you can't stop me

Only your losses can do anything about it. God bless.

It actually isn't bad, it's just that it's more easily countered.

Reminder only bronze shitters think arms or fury Varian is bad

I go Arms Varian with Parry talents.

>Arms
Okay, but worse than Prot
>Fury
utter garbage

I thought Fury was the go to talent when he first came out, what happened?

In that case the only time any area spell is good is when someone else can combo with it because you can't hit it on its own.

Oh wait that's not fucking true because even if it misses it can still checkmate people into shit positions to win the team fight anyway but you're fucking garbage spewing absolutes like a bronze faggot sith.

Shut the fuck up.

>Better than most heroes in the game still
>utter garbage
?

>there are people in this thread RIGHT NOW who pick Taunt in QM when the enemy team has no tank

What's it like being a COWARD?

>Not wanting to be the only Warrior in the game.
It's like you hate free wins.

what game is this

People realized how to counter him. Fury Varian is basically Butcher-lite. If you can stop a Butcher, you can stop a fury Varian.

I want to marry Zagara!

>pick water ele
>walks into walls constantly

epic

Isn't the the 2 sec cooldown on ice lance more damage than frostbitten?

How do people usually build the probe these days? Full on turret?

you know that you can control him right?

I thought it was stationary.

Pretty much yes

>is some down syndrome rusky dying 6 times in 7min and saying it your fault team!

The only tolerable Overwatch hero when?

Build for your rift combo and push lanes like a madman. They leave you alone for a few seconds and you can blast their gates down in no time.

>tell him to go kill that diablo
>he just walks into the rocks around the tribute directly at him rather than going around

Over time, maybe. But as Jaina you should be comboing your abilities together for burst damage.

>he doesnt play the strongest class in the game, support
ISHYGDDT

Ranged AA with Tyrande's trait and a stronger version of Malf's Tranquility.

I doubt it.

>lucio, who is about as braindead as he is in OW
>biggest brain
>auriel, tassadar, and kharazim being that low

baka tbqh

How is 50% forced w/r a thing when i only keep losing ranked by drunk russian novas

I had a 8 game win streak 3 days ago.

OK /hotsg/ you know the drill.
Predictions?

uther

Butcher skin.

Obviously you got lucky in your placements and now you're being brought in line with your real rank.

TOO SOON

Some shitty horse mount or a shit hero like Abathur

excuse me can u tell me why Chomie is using Q on minions???????????????????????

What's the waifuposting/baraposting ratio in this general? Important info.

Butcherlisk

9% i think

pretty low famalam. Every now and then a Tyrande enthusiast will post

>no li-li

Quite low, actually.

I don't understand this meme.

do two people make so much of a difference in this game that they can't put a duo queue in

Too low

F A T T

>always banned or taken by my teammate or even taken by the other team

Duo is cancer and you can still play as duo in team league, hero league really improved since they removed it imo

>rank1 preseason
>diamond all seasons

yeah buddie

I'm partial to Lunara myself.

I used to loathe panda posters but, pandas are actually kinda cute and endearing

I sometimes take Arcane Intellect so I can push out waves without going out of mana constantly.
