Value normal chest. What will they be?

Doesnt it kind of defeat the purpose of gender equality or whatever if the only "girl" pro is actually a guy, and the only girl caster is only there because of her gender? I could name numerous male casters that are better than gillyweed who aren't on HGC

YOU CAN GET HEROES

FROM CHESTS?!?!

This game just got a little bit better for me

nigger samuro

Looking for good teammates in Team League. Need people to progress with, preferable if you are diamond or plat at least, EU servers

>Doesnt it kind of defeat the purpose of gender equality or whatever if the only "girl" pro is actually a guy
Not to them, because they believe that the "girl" pro is actually a girl, and actually gets double diversity points because they're transgender
Soak in the doublethink

Butcherlisk

Pretty low chance though. I've opened hundreds and only gotten 3 and one was a dupe.

Grom - Assassin - Trait Basic attack speed increases with lower health

Garrosh - Warrior (Tank/Bruiser) - Trait Grants bonus armor that is lost when he receives enough damage, stackable

Kilrogg - Assassin - Trait Mark target enemy. If Kilrogg dies from it, he can fight for a bit while dead. Passive bonus ability power and increased vision radius while in bushes or smoke

Kargath - Warrior (Bruiser) - Trait Sacrifice a portion of your own health for increased damage

Blackhand - Specialist - Trait Activate to summon a controllable Iron Star after your next basic attack, which deals damage to enemies it touches and explodes as it expires

Ner'zhul - Assassin - Trait Place a totem to cover the area in a slowly expanding void which disables HP and Mana regeneration and restoring abilities. While in it, Ner'zhul receives bonus ability power for every Enemy and Ally Hero that is not in the void.

All these patches later and Lunara is still massively over powered
>b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but!
No. She is the only hero in the game who can solo the entire enemy team.

Damn shame. Still haven't gotten butcherlisk.

So did Thrall and Varian

ALWAYS MOUNT IF NOT BUTCHERLISK

shoo shoo blizzard jew give me good skins give me two

All these patches later and Murky is still massively over powered
>b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but!
No. She is the only hero in the game who can solo the entire enemy team.

Tips on how to Greymane? I've gotten to chain people with R a couple times and its super fun, I might buy him when the f2p rotation is up

xd nicely memeroni'd my dude

she?

For starters you could start picking the right ultimate.

>she

I wanna play Raynor again. Why can't be good?

Gonna play Malfurion for the first time.
>Storm Mantle
or
>Druid of the Flame
skin?

wat

All these patches later and Raynor is still massively over powered
>b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but!
No. She is the only hero in the game who can solo the entire enemy team with the Hyperion alone.

simbly eric xD

>if you unlock the skin, you unlock the hero

Smite does it, but would Blizzard ever do something similar? Or, is it too much an incentive to get players to shell out the dollarydoos for a character they don't own but have a shitload of good skins for?

>Garrosh rerolls worgen.jpg

If they did that they'd have to reduce skin drop rate a lot. I own all the heroes I want and got money for Kel'Thuzad ready so nthx.

Is Starcraft 2 fun for singleplayer? I don't care or want the multiplayer.

well okay, what about beyond that? Should I be building around Q or beastmode?

Go for the throat doesn't seem like an awful choice on maps where everyone has to cluster around a small objective like cursed hollow

Betrayer.

Yes but don't expect a good story

I don't know, why don't you go ask starcraft general you retard, why are so many people treating hotsg like blizzard general

b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but I don't have that one

Nah, not at all really.

What did they do to Tyrande? WTF is that aa assassin rework? I'm mad.

>Greymane, Cassia, Valla, Arthas, and Samuro on f2p rotation
>had been considering buying all of them but wanted to wait for f2p until I made my choice

the time is now

Psst. Nothing got worse. Stop overreacting.

>Calls someone a retard
>Wonders why game is dead

Wow, if I knew how toxic you fucking whoring niggers were, I wouldn't have left LoL. Not like there is any depth to be had in this shitty moba simulator anyway.

You forgot to shoo shoo the jew senpai, I got 7 heroes in 20 boxes yesterday.

What if they replaced Li Ming's force wave with Meteor to deal big damage in a target area after a delay? The lvl 20 augment would be Star Pact to expend ALL mana to increase its damage by a percentage for each extra point of mana spent and getting a kill with it would refund the mana cost. It would be monstrous if you could land it it, but you're also fucked if you miss or they live.

okay, goodbye you little retard

DAILY REMINDER

Not him but
>come into general
>ask about completely different game
>pooter peeved when told to leave
Your ass must get jealous at all the shit that comes out of your mouth.

Nerf

force wave is good

DARKNESS when?

play him like raynor spamming auto attacks in range.

team fight = shoot bullet pref in the fattest guy -50% hp and spam auto attacks

jump in when you think you have the chance to cause big trouble for the enemy!!!

also you can solo camps in worgen easily just make sure u dont get ganked when u are doing bruiser camp
super useful on hanamura because camps give nice xp to ur team

Baited for these exact responses.

Thanks. ;)

LiLi returns to her rightful place in the dumpster soon friends.

Hahah holy shit, this kid is fucking MAD.
You can't stop replying to me as much as you try, you literally can't. LMFAO

You WILL reply to this, your little mind can't resist.

Is Probius overpowered? I just started and I've been having a lot of success with him. I've been going:
Please help.
I usually go
Warp Resonance
Turbo Charge
Rift Shock
Pylon
Power Overflowing
Gravity Well
Additional Pylons

I've felt like the Pylon ulti and Pylon ult upgrade aren't that great though, with a 14 second cooldown on pylon I have to arrive in an area super early to get down 2 and can forget about 3 most of the time. The Wall ulti seems like a ton of utility and is on such a low cooldown, it seems better for organized play.

user, you do nothing but hurt yourself. The chances for it are even LOWER than Maiev, and Everybody Knows that she is NEVER EVER forever.

Do it for yourself, take care of your boypussy.

Where is the brraaaaap posting?
A game is dead unless the general talks about sniffing the girl characters' farts.

he's getting nerfed, so yes. Only Pylon Overcharge heroic though

HotSg is returning to it's original state soon

nerf this!

LUNE SPRAYS ON HOTS FUCKING WHEN

What characters have the most annoying ranged poke in the game?

Li Li

Chromie without contest

How's the Nazeebo announcer?

Chromie and Lunara

autistic ninja man

Chromie

What did bonmas mean by this?

Apparently some of the LoL ex-pro players have gotten addicted to this game after Try Hard.

Is fun to see the reaction of all the LoL players sperging about how "bad" and "basic" this game is after.

Zero AAIIIIYEEEEEES / 10

The fun dumpster? Sounds like Li Li alright.

Man this is the most blatant covert advertising I've seen in my life. Even worse than when Bieber loved to play Teemo.

he sounds like hes 1 bottle of whiskey from kurt cobaining himself at all times

>Kurt Cobaining himself
>Not Kurt GoBanging himself
>Not Kurt NoBraining Himself

missed opportunity

Can I still do the week 2 quest to get the d.va skin in overwatch?

Not really. From all, Dyrus is the one that like the game the most. As you can see:

clips twitch tv/AbstemiousFurryWhaleTebowing

This is a spark of emotion, and that's HUGE for this guy, hoho.

ikr, but somehow it ends up being charming. He knows he is like this, and is trying to improve his mood for future streams.

>tfw d.va isnt even out and im dying to know whos next because fuck overfag heroes

>>>/reddit/

Do I always go for W talents and Pylon ult? Pylon ult sometimes feels worthless, especially when I can't set up and use it with only 1 pylon out, wall has such a low cooldown and can lock down chokes so hard. Are turret builds good or gimmicky? I pretty much one-shot a Li Ming with WWQ and was shocked it did so much damage.
t. control mage player moving over from LoL

No, you're fucked.

He's right
You should overextend based on your own abilities, not based on where your team is

Soon, hopefully.

>implying you wont' get banned for making suicide jokes on le hugbox Reddit

Hey everyone! As the title states, I've played checkers for the last 7 years or so, and it's been a constant struggle to find a game that meets the same massive standards that CHKRS did. Tried Backgammon a few times from beta to about a year ago, was super excited for Go Fish and was super let down, and I slept on HOTS for a very long time until Saturday when one of my Checkers buddies mentioned he was playing it. I gotta say, I'm hooked!
In Checkers, I was a Red main pretty much since the meta was established, so naturally I picked up the support bundle. I messed around with a few of them, and landed on Lucio as a "main" as I learn the game. Even I could tell he's a bit busted, but I was a Black main for a while, so I figured that was a good champ to start with because of the similar play style.

My questions are:
Is there a "meta"? Is it like a diagonal-diagonal-diagonal lane combo? Are there certain roles that are standard to teams like support, adc, etc? My friend said you just kinda go where you go, but coming from Checkers, that just feels odd to me.
As someone who has played Checkers pretty much forever, are there any heroes you'd recommend I try out? Are there any general tips I should know as someone coming from Checkers? Thanks in advance everyone. I'm really excited to continue learning this game.

stop it, this is just fucking lazy

gm incoming

Honestly, I'm sick and tired of getting CHKRS players in every QM I play. They keep overextending and feeding early game no matter how many times I explain in chat that they are allowed to go backwards.

Don't worry user, I'll tell you
It's going to be a warcraft assassin

Sonya got a dick and Nova is her bitch.

...

Maiev is next, screenshot this if you want.

>it is highly debatable whether Hanamura games are fun or not
>they are too fucking short so you don't even get good XP, win or lose

They seriously need to retune this shit.
7 is such a fucking odd number to have as the core's health, bump it up to 10 ffs

I tend to find the diagonal into anti diagonal combo really works, especially with a Red such as Valeera but she can easily get taken by a Black in the bush if she's not careful. If you can get a Five-Diagonal advance though you get the Queen of the Zerg, Kerrigan, and she's great.
