Where the FUCK is Maiev????

garrosh

Her WC3 kit is a patchwork of random generic spells and she's not a big figure in WoW.
I don't get the hype.

...

Tyrande is definitely god tier after her rework

Raptor mounts in OP?

Good God all the Overwatch shitters in this game right now because of their chests.

They are SO fucking bad at this game.

5th for shadowstalk worst ult in the game

What kind of drug fueled downie thought it a good idea to give Dva an instant heal as baseline ability, despite her huge healthpool, AFTER Tychus got the same thing removed because of a health boost that was ten times weaker?! Blizzards stupidity is so fucking infuriating.

Ultralisk lol

Abathur buffs when

youtube.com/watch?v=lpmNdF8Mdew

Shadowstalk lasts FOREVER! It's insane!

blizzard's try hard streamer shilling finally has me convinced.

>This incredible video makes all neckbeards wet, check it out!

me too. although im not downloading it. have an urge to play lol but all the champs ive looked through none of them i found as mighty as his skeletal majesty

Have you seen Guillotine.

In other news:
Heroes of the Storm playerbase quality suddenly improving!

Nazeebo's Voodoo ritual now works on heroes from the start and Vile infection increases to 200%. Is he now good?

Not like Riot is any better.

He's now a tanky Lunara.
Even more cancer harass. No, thanks.

Nazeebo is good now without the change. In fact that's just reverting something they changed about him. In fact Nazeebo used to have something like Vile Infection at 16 but didn't require you to stack to get it.

He's already good.

What're some certified good builds for Cho and Gall?

why does tyrande have got such a big ass ?

Infinite stack bomb and heal is good, damage mitigate at 20 is also good

All that holy power went straight to her ass.

I like xul

so praising godness gave her a big ass ?

Raptor mounts!

Is there such thing as a good ragnaros player?

Those with situational awareness

>purge by fire
>win
it's not that friggin hard

What's the best role for carrying friends in team league?

Probably assassin or support.

Warriors can do it but need extra good judgment to engage and peel proper whereas supports and assassins roles are more straightforward.

Nigga if you think you are gonna have a better time at league i'm really sorry

What's Dva good at?
I can't seem to justify picking her at all in Hero League.
She does no damage, her only CC is a little knockback, it's super easy to ignore her as she's fucking slow once boosters are recharging.
She just seems to be one big healthpool standing in the middle of enemy team doing jackshit.
Is there more to her?

Muh dick

Make good calls, play what your friends are shit at better than them.

>someone was in charge of balancing Anub'arak

lol

>normal looks better than epic
>get normal for bronze in team
???

>Anub'arak is unbalanced

He might be the only hero in this game that is balanced.

>normal looks better than epic
wrong

I don't know how they could fuck up a rework so badly. I guess her kit isn't bad, they just gave her a lot of terrible talents and made her abilities too weak.

Anub'arak is OP as fuck, why do you think his win rate is like 62% in masters?

He's right tho.
It looks shit with the chameleon helm.

>team knows they will never get the punisher
>they still run in to it one at a time only to get 5v1'd
>try to tell them to just ignore it rather than die
>they flame and report me
why are people so fucking retarded

The thing I dislike most about D.Va is that you can't cancel your boosters until you've been using them for 1 second

I'm liking Zagara a lot more now that I understand the game a bit better. Plus I had a weird game just now where people would try to gank me, I'd burst all my Banelings on them, they'd lose half their helath, get spooked and run off.
I think I went unkilled the entire game because of this.
When this didn't happen with Varian a couple of times I employed something that might just be a next level tactic.
Hold onto your butts here, what I did was: I retreated TOWARDS my allies.

Now, I know this sounds radical, but I discovered that it really does work more often than not.

Also, Nydus networking across the map to push down undefended towers is hella fun.

Because retards keep picking mages and grouping which makes it easy to mass stun.

>I also had cancer once so let me jerk blizz off by telling them how touched I am by their event even though they mostly just do it for reeling more people in and not so much for caring about make a wish foundation pls feel sorry for me and upvote
dammit reddit

EVERY FUCKING GAME I GET THESE GODDAMN USELESS SLUGS ON MY FUCKING TEAM THEY JUST SIT THERE AFK DOING NOTHING

zagara is the best mom in the korpulu sector

What you left out was that in addition to your advice you were really nasty toward them and called them names and told them they were awful, etc. Nobody would report you for politely suggesting a better strategy.

Try exiting hauntes mines mines while boosters are active.
Also, she can't be taunted lol.

smurfing hard

Don't play quickmatch or unranked.
If this happens in ranked that means you better play some azmodan and climb up from that silver rank asap.

>Valeera
Playing characters that require as much brain cells as they can get combo points doesn't count

>IS NOT FAIR BROS VALEERA IS INVISIBLE!

haha cuck

How do I Valeera?

When I try to engage in team fights, it seems like the enemy team just drops what they are doing and focuses me down in a second. Can't re-cloak for 5 seconds, and neither ult seems sufficient to protect me since I get hit with AOEs and basic attacks both. What build do you go for?

>tfw he can get a 3rd wish after playing hots

>Anub is only good against mages.

what about the colors, do you get one of each color or is it related to your rank?

Punish divers is the easiest way to play Valeera.

>playing azmodude
>laser continues to hit valeera after she uses smoke bomb

>Rehgar now moves his mouth when selected in ranked play
>Nobody else does

I never said he was bad against non mages but most people pick a mage which Anub fucks over the most.

Is Azmodan actually good for climbing up from low rank?

>Guillotine
>worst ult
With the insane damage that thing can dish out?

>premades pick malfurion and tyrande
>spend the game healing each other and nobody else
Looking upon it retroactively I should have picked kharazim, but I'm sure said trolls will get their comeuppance.

>stop playing dva
>win

woah

seriously though what the fuck is this thing

>Dances like an idiot before throwing it, allowing you to get stunned out of it, or die before it goes off.
>Have to be dying for it to do good damage.
>Size of the hit box of it is small as fuck as well.

Compare Guilltone to Sulfuras Smash.

>Play D.va
>Win every game so far

It can be used decently but yeah you do put yourself more at risk. But I wouldn't go far to say its the worst ult in the game.

>Have to be dying for it to do good damage.
That's his whole gimmick, though. Can't really call it a knock against the ult.

No heroic will ever be as bad as Ultralisk.

What's a good hero that shits on robo-gook so I can feast in my matches today

>tfw speed boosting to the front of running enemies to body block and boop them back into my team
so good

it should be a horizontal line the size of a lane

Arthas is pretty good. Your aura makes her even slower, you can root her out of her boost, and she'll barely deal any damage to you because attack slow and your armor.

Alright so how do we build this memelord now?

How could they fuck up Tyrande so badly? She was literally not terrible before she just needed some number tuning. Her kit and talents are fine I guess now but they are all way understatted she shouldn't be doing less damage and less healing while having less CD reduction than before with nerfed ultimates (only good thing about new Tyrande is the upgrade to starfall at level 20).

Why did they nerf an already weak hero this much?

>Tyrande is your support for this match
>5k healing done
thanks blizzard

What mount is MVP and works for lots of heroes and skins?

>4 player party on my team
>one level 1000 and three sub-100s
>skews the match making
three guesses who fed nonstop that match

Here is mine heroesfire.com/hots/talent-calculator/alarak#gTpG

>tfw you realize that

Dota 2 > Smite > HotS > LoL > HoN (cause ded now)

dont see how levels affect player winrates

so dual support dual warriors is meta now ?

the nimbus clouds

I want to rub Chromie's fart thighs

>been playing the game for a week
vs
>been playing for a year

i wonder who is the better player

>smite
lol no
>dota
debatable after 7.0 which murdered it

Fuel for the flame at level 1

Everything after that? Make Surging Fist stronger

i just had a level 500 something play vikings and sending them all to the same lane all game long
retards will be retards regardless of time played

Too bad dota's market is shit.

tyreal's charger out of what's generally available.

So, whos the best healer now?
Tyrone was great because of her stun, but without healing ult she is over
Redgar chain heal talents not as good as they were
Lili cant deal with stealth
Lucio, Malf - no burst heal
Uther - limited use out of healing, also melee stun, meh

BRRRRRRRAAAAAPTT

it's not a full picture m8
