tyrande

she's alright in here but i absolutely hate her in wow
why is this

is a whore.

When are they going to add an interesting hero again?

Maybe they'll adapt Fenix from coop mode into HotS.

when?

What do you hope becomes a map? I'd like warsong gulch CTF

Seconded, or Arathi Basin.

>hotsg tells me unranked is really fun and when the game gets interesting
>i get first pick, use this as a chance to use someone i want
>rest of team picks nova valeera and no warrior

whyd you lie to me

When?

>CTF
>Brightwing grabs flag
>warps to someone in base, instant capture
>ETC grabs flag
>Stage Dives to base
Because we needed globals to be even more overpowered.

my whore

That wasn't me. I'm sorry.

Wonder if AB would really work 5v5. Think they might do battle for gilneas instead? Maybe they'd even make AB as a 10 man brawl, could be cool

flag gets dropped if you use a global as it would if you were to mount in WoW

then you're a nigger because all she takes is big thick veiny dark meat

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

just use varian and walk away haha

Best girl by far

...

>Grab flag as Genji
>Dash an entire screen towards your flag every 12 seconds

>follow him with your mount and catch up in a few seconds

Xth for Li LI a CUTE!

I have 24k gold

I have the supports + specialists bundle, Sylvanas, Jaina, Raynor, Gazlowe, Azmodan, and Thrall

What heroes should I buy?

That's what the rest of his team is there to block you for

u mad lil white boi?

>finish Nexus Challenge 2.0
>yo this game is fun, let's play some more
>get bored after a few matches
>start itching for DotA
Now I understand why people shit on HotS.

>my game is dying
>o shit hots is more popular than muh gam
>start shitposting in their general

>tyring to sololane vs probius

KILL ME

>dying
>hots needs life support promos
Epic laughs my dude.

That's sort of what Hots always was for people I knew.

>hey hots looks neat can you show me how
>huh makes me kind of want to play league/doto again
alternatively
>nice hey mobas are cool what are the others
>goes to league/doto and never returns

Oh, well. It is what it is.

>be alarak
>zap him three times
>he leaves

What seems to be the problem.

Terrible voice actor that doesn't fit the character or setting.

>be zagara
>poke him three times
>he leaves

What seems to be the problem.

The fact that I'm Raynor and once I have to leave for health the moment I come back he's set up all his shit and keeps putting the Pylons in vents that I have to go stand in to kill while he shits out vortexes

>at this point im grasping for straws
>all i can do is shitpost
>i dont even like my game anymore

>pick mediv quest
>die at 19 stacks
>pick flat increase
>never die whole game
every time

Towers of Doom IS moba arathi basin.

must have been a shitty probius cause i shit on zagara all day if she is ever in my lane

Must. Collect. Assence

What does it mean if they have 2016 in their portrait?

Does your Zagara ever dodge Warp Rifts?

It means they were duped into playing the game in 2016

>get hyped for the next champ release soon

>remember its Dva

>feelsbadmon.jpg

>Ranked Hanamura
>About to win just need boss
>Rest of the time fucking chases genji
>They get caught out and die so enemy causually pushes their payload.

I HATE THIS GOD DAMN MAP! WHAT THE FUCK IT WITH PEOPLE IGNORING THE OBJECTIVES? WHEN ITS LITERALLY THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS.

PTR today?!

Is the forced 50 really a thing because every game is either an easy win or a stomp with little to know chance at winning.

Who's the best jungler champ?

If you were about to win, just needs boss, you should have left the boss the fuck alone and concentrated on your payload.
If you danced around boss alone while your teammates died also alone you are as much of a shitter as they are.

Welp honeymoon phase is over

This game is still the same terrible game it was on release. Back to league.

>play murky in quickplay
>win 10/11 games

uh hotsguys????

HOLY FUCK MY DICK HNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG

Anti-Armor Shells (basic attacks do 250% damage but shoot like once every 4 seconds I think) or one in the chamber (after using an ability the next basic attack does 80% damage) for Nova? I've been using anti armor but god damn does she attack slow as fuck so now i'm doubting it.

ebin xDDD

>being proud of gold
I'll never understand this meme, gold is so average. Its like graduating middle school and being so proud of it you have to let everyone know

I'm diamond and games are usually decently close with the occasional stomp. Could be a gold league thing

my wife

overbabs??

We had no payload up at the time. The enemy team had theirs up. But they were mostly dead but they fuck off to chase genji. And no I didn't leave my allies even though I kept pinging to fuck off.

sonya

I did it lads! I've never gotten a "Pentakill" before

Who said I was proud of being gold? I was just talking about the forced 50.

Its true though.

For me it was the opposite, played league for 4 years but got fucking sick of that shit, spent 1 or 2 years without playing moba when i finally started playing hots. It also helps i really like blizz characters

>No Reaper Legendary skin for Valla

Why

I thought the whole "don't play QM on the weekends" thing was just a meme but Jesus Christ, some of these fucking people man, I swear.

I probably need to take a break for a few days. I used to be able to stay completely quiet even when people were retarded but not anymore. I don't like what I'm becoming.

>Be Sonja
>Whirlwind him
>he leaves

What seems to be the problem.

I know i was just making fun of you for being average at a terribly easy game.

Because they have shit taste like you?

its QM why ur getting all mad and shit? if u want srs play rank

Is there some 3D Model Viewer for Heroes of the Storm?

Chamber

pick double W and reduce cooldown on E as talent, use AA after every ability

Is only game, why you have to be mad

Just be toxic bro look how well it did for Tyler1. He's making 6 figs for being toxic now.

Fire your knockback at it. Should light it up to pop at it from a better distance.

How is league any better?
I asked a friend of mine about it and some of the things he explained to me sound tedious as fuck and in some ways like pure cancer.
The fact that you need to land the killing blow to get XP sounds pretty unfun, and the fact that you don't share XP with the whole teams seems like a perfect recipe for infighting in a genre that is already pretty fucking prone to infighting.

It's a teambased objective game if everyone is trying their hardest to lose its not very simple to win.

The fact that Medivh is completely balanced around Master's Touch is kinda bullshit and the reason he has a 36% winrate.

im not the guy ur talking to but LoL is pretty shit now after ghostcrawler got his hands on it pretty much why i quit

S1 Silver / S2 Gold / S3 Plat / S4 Diamond / S5 Diamond then quit

Okay, if you stood with your team and communicated through pings you already are a good way to Diamond. Blindly following your tank will win you more games than it loses you even if the group decides for something absolutely retarded, so just keep at it and accept the occasional unavoidable loss.
>b-but I am the tank user
Ping yourself, hope someone follows

R?

Pick the global R

Aba helps passively push lanes and has decent power on hat abilities. He also helps stay ahead in Experience and if he goes Monstrosity forces at least one person to go deal with it or lose a tower. And of course doubling someone like Valla or Kael can really put the hurt on in team fights.

In other words, play with better Abathurs and you will appreciate him more.

Want to be useful in teamfights - Precision Strike

Want to be dank MLGSnipor because they're constantly splitting and don't have any way to just immune it off?
Triple tap

It feels way better than hots in every way.
>kills
>towers
>mechanics
The list goes on and on, league is more enjoyable every second in game compared to hots. There isn't very many satisfying mechanics in hots and losing lane, soak, and merc camps is a lot more tedious to deal with than anything in league.

Its just the truth

There's almost no reason to take Triple tap. It gets blocked by nearly everything.

They literally ran into the enemy base thinking it was a good idea when most of them were low. I didn't stay super long to figure out what was about to happen. It just makes no sense we had an easy win but we threw it away for worthless kill.

Not to mention all the maps and learning how to macro them is actually insane for a "casual" moba most people claim it is.

Ah but you're forgetting one very important aspect of League. The forced meta and Riot's INSISTENCE you play a hero a certain way. It always feels like every game plays the same way.

LoL isnt enjoyable since pass S4 buddy lol

Thats why its still dominating the entire moba scene lol

>reading the little tip on the loading screen on what the objective of the map is "insane" to a league faggot

Better and enjoyable are pretty subjective without any deeper explanation.
I'll have to check it out and then get back to you.

The game keeps adding stupid shit while buffing the fuck out of champions that don't need it while adding stupid reddit tier humor just to appease the worst community. There are some aspects I like about league but there way too many fucking negatives. I hope they never add fucking gook team skins because they are all ugly as fuck.

and hollywood dominates film, doesn't mean it's good.

I can see why hots caters to a niche audience

i saw your typo
you should live in shame from now on

A lot of things, but for me it comes down to feel.

Each game has its ups and downs.

At last check you couldn't exactly build Johanna or Morales for damage.

There's an underrated amount of complexity when it comes to the meta of each map.

by numbers maybe? but not money Dota holds that trophy

its literally has drop alot by numbers on LCS and tournaments

im the guy who posted this i have exp in LoL since the start

dota and lol is for underaged braindmged children
i mean calling a game casual then complain different maps are difficult to learn
