22nd of May can't come fucking fast enough

TINY

Imperius when? I want to play the angry angel guy of fire spears and jobbing.

June 1st can't come fast enough.

Here you go senpai

Just kill her you idiot. She's so far out of position.

and it wold only take 10 minutes
imba

:bwsilly:

You should have been around at release when she destroyed fountains like that in seconds not minutes.

Did Bandlebro finish that Chromie drawing? I've been away for a while.

Damn, now I want a Diablo angel skin for Arthas.

>expecting artists to ever finish drawing free shit post sketch
>not understanding the diminishing returns of attention after the first reveal
cute

Not everybody is Butcher, you know. Sometimes it's hard to pin her down if you don't have a highly mobile or CC-heavy team.

We lost a man early on which allowed their team to just clump down there and protect her while she killed the thing.

/r6g/ gets lots of art, though. But I mean, they're also partially /k/ autists, so.

who are some good "singleplayer" heroes?

I don't want to give a shit about what my team is doing.

Map rotations were a mistake and their explanation, that too much maps might overwhelm players is insulting to say the least.

Azmodan, Xul, Murky.

illidan

People playing with their friends? That's a good question.

Insufficient

Probius, TLV, Azmodan, Zagara.

Stitches is the worst fucking hero in the game. He should not be allowed to exist.

Abathur
Just look at everyone as NPCs

Hey guys I just started playing and really like Lili.
I can't find any "builds" (is that what you call them?) for her online that aren't from a while ago.
Anyone got the a website or suggestions? I've kind of just been following my gut.

If nothing else, a Mortal Tyrael skin could work on his model.

Samuro first comes to mind. If you create enough illusions and control them well enough to confuse the enemy about what's going on around the map then it doesn't matter if you play with your team as much.

I think I'm getting to the point I'm done with this game. I mean I'm having more fun in hearthstone at this point than fucking Heroes and that's sad. At least Tekken 7 is right around the corner.

What is up with new players and Lili? When i started playing i also really liked her

*hooks behind you* *gorges you and bolts away*
pssh nothing personel

Idk, I just like her because she's super easy and fun.
All of my spells are auto-targeted and I get to run super fast when hit.

How do I play Sylvanas? I can't do shit in teamfights and my team just feeds when I push lanes

Only a few more weeks until early 2017!

People say Stitches is a worse Artanis, but I don't see it that way. Stitches' range is longer and he doesn't have to throw himself into the middle of the enemy team to do his job. He may not have much going on outside of his hook+gorge combo, but he does it well.

I tried pinging them but they still just ran back and forth from the thing

Lili is a braindead hero who doesn't have to aim anything so she's good for new players who can't handle complex things like A-moving or picking priority targets. You just have to left click and mash your ability buttons and the game will play it for you.

????

sylvanas has her niche on a couple of maps
wherever theres an objective to push with you just disable towers and forts
outside of that shes really subpar
if you're in shitter league just push towers alone since that works but watch out for ganks

why does my heart go THUMP THUMP every time I look at chromie???

both ultimates do work in teamfights even if mc can be frustrating to use. just try to land your W on them and E away if they go after you. if they try to jump on the spec your team should fuck them up if they have any sort of reaction time

If you side-step Stiches' hook then he's useless.

You can't sidstep Artanis because he has a large range around him which is "hookable," like if Stitches could just redirect his hook midflight. Plus Artanis wants to be in the enemy team and can survive a long time as long as you threw their damage into your team and can keep attacking.

It's actually got a date now, thankfully.

It's her way of telling you that you're going to die of a heart attack in the future because of your poor quality of life choices.

Why didn't anybody tell me chen was fun?

Because he may be fun, he's just not very good.

where the FUCK is D.va ???

...

BUFF ILLIDANK

Slug mains, assemble.

...

Shes inked Chromie and still is finishing Diablo. Not sure if its getting colored, maybe at least with flat colors if she inked it. She also doodled a SFW Fel Queen Chromie at some point.

Kill yourself.

>hero level 62

this should be in the OP because it represents all of /hotsg/ in a single image

They just did though

lmao dude i totally main the meme slug :you enhanced: am i right????

hotslogs.com/Sitewide/HeroDetails?Hero=Li Li

they buffed a talent that only shitters will pick because:
if you lack waveclear or are on a pve map (braxis for instance) you should go immolation
battered assault is a much more rewarding talent if you know your illidan
the only people to benefit from the `buff` are gold league shitters

...

fuck you what show?
ty friendo

>queue as tank
>3 tanks 1 assassin 1 spec
>queue as assassin
>4 assassins 1 spec
haha

Does the Anub announcer just scream all the time or will I get to hear some devious sounding lines?

why do people pick assassins when tanks do their job better without dying to a single tower shot?

WHY ARE THERE SO FEW FUCKING MAPS? WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?

THESE MAPS ALL SUCK. TOWER OF DOOM AND HANAMURA, WHY?!

Towers of Doom is great, though?

What's happening on 1st June?

Limited maps so they can get more people playing Hanamura. The excuse of not confusing new players is just a cover.

Is Zeratul fun to play? I usually play Rehgar or Artanis

>queue as Zarya
>Win game
>Dealt more damage then our teams Kael while dying less
It was probably just him missing every skill shot but I don't know why more people just pick warriors and go damage.

gay as rotation

Which should I get, purple or gold Chromie?

Gold

any tips for someone who wants to become a memeslug main?

Always body soak during objectives when you have the opportunity to do it safely.
If your team is keeping their entire team occupied and an objective is up, grab it.
Place mines in high transit areas to scout rotations and demount people.
Monstrosity is shit.

Tekken 7 releases.

I'm fucking bronze and I want to play Li Ming better. I need build tips. Right now it flip flops between going really well, and going horribly.

>inb4 don't play Ming in bronze

>Bronze
Am I being memed here

If you're genuinely Bronze then drop Li-Ming immediately.

>it flip flops between going really well, and going horribly.
Yeah, because you can mash all your buttons after your team wins the 4v5 to snowball it.

>inb4 don't play Ming in bronze
You answered your own question dipshit

I need one more recruit a friend for the vulture, any takers? Works if you are under level 5 too!

FOOTMANIUS WHEN

...

>Bronze actually exists.
Jesus christ, what's it like down there?
I almost want to make a second account and feed until I'm Bronze 5 just to see what its like.

But really, I'd assume just "max orb" will work in bronze.

I wish there was more I could have done. I died four times when the only things that ever hit me were chromie abilities.

>Falric & Marwyn

the Ice Climbers of HotS

...

It's basically beginner bots.

Stop trying to play Ming until you've gotten some of the fundamentals down.

>Feel confident that Chromie won't be able to land shit
>I wish there was more I could have done.
>Assuming the enemy is bad and skilling around that.

>Wish there was more I could have done
>Intentionally avoided taking Force Armor against Chromie

Yeah. I got overconfident. Shoulda taken the spell armor at 1. The last Chromies I'd all seen on either side were garbage, at least the ones who weren't against Varian so they weren't immediately useless as soon as he got taunt.

Which bosses can Twin Memes Varian solo?
I know he can reliably solo the one in Cursed Hollow and Temple of Light, but the one in Braxis just slapped my shit.

Without testing, I would assume the only boss he can't solo is the Braxis one, since it does much higher damage than the others.

>Rotation is Hanamura, Towers of Doom, and Zerg control point map
>Literally the 3 worst maps in the game

Why are there even "rotations"? What is the point of having so many maps and only using 5?

JUST OPEN THEM ALL UP, FUCK.

>Have 40,000 gold
>Don't even own that many heroes
>None of them interest me

I feel like this game is just full of boring characters. I really only enjoy playing Kharazim (Damage build), Muradin, and Guldan.

>hit press W,Q then R
yeah wow how will he ever figure out how that works

what should i get next
