>Tyrande: "haha they changed her talents? guys, what should i spec?"

Reminder that /d2g/ literally runs this shit.

You served the highlord well.

Sorry we are sponsored by Destiny now. Got that Paul McCartney money.

I'm going to start my placement matches
Who should I try to lock?

best girl

be good servants of elune and post more cute elves!

Guys how do I Chromie?

People your good with.

Stand outside of vision
Have a spotter
Dump W+Q on someone/in their predicted path
Use your wards effectively

Yeah they won because someone fed, many times bad players are worse than a bad comp.

Best Warriors for HL right now? Anub'arak and who else?

Corpse Feeders or Infest?

Volatile Acid

REMINDER

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

...

POST DVAS

giv me this gf

Different than Gaz's laser based on the fact it would be targeted

Different than Sonya's spear in that you would have to go to terrain, and literally nothing like Zera's blink

Abathur's mine doesn't do damage over time.

Try again nerd.

meant for

...

Abathur buffs when

Destiny hero when?

You got me on that one. I've never played him.

nerd

We lost. We lost bad.

What did we do wrong? Was I wrong to pick Anub? Of my 4 placements, I lost 3 of them.

I'm getting matched against Silver players. I think I might be done with HL again. I'll try again next season.

Cocoon nerf when

>dude just AA anub lmao
>anub cocoons your support from across the map
>CCs your whole team
>hit with every enemy heroic and die because delete support from game

so genji's not getting nerfed, right? he feels really strong and has such good escape options

blood knight when?

>Tfw I accidentally queued as Lost Vikings in QM instead of Versus AI
>Never played them before

Uhoh

If you're going to get autistic don't get autistic against Abathur players because they are the very best at it

just get bribe, mercenary warlord, spin to win, play again, jump, impatience, and checkpoint

ez shit

>Lost a game I tried very hard to win
>Just because I didn't stay at core to prevent Sylvanas from backdooring
The entire team is equally at fault but I feel so shit about it as Greymane, I could've done something but now I lost 230 rank points and am that much closer to deranking. Think I'm on tilt but I want to keep playing to make up for it.

Holy fuck, people on this game like to throw games way too much

Win early game by a good margin, win mid game, throw late game

Just do what I did and give up. Throw a pity party and then find something else in life that might make you happy for a fleeting moment. Like food or sleep or maybe a video game that doesn't make you feel worse.

Picking Ultralisk on Kerrigan is a lot more fun if you pretend it's a dog.

>Haunted Mines on rotation
Fuck off worst map tied with Garden of Aids

...

right after Shaxx as an announcer

>playing Greymane
>not dedicating the game to ruining Sylvanas's day
Just think of your people that she killed and were not avenged.

I should probably try him then. Seem right up my alley.

Crosslinking DVA guide so you can be less shit

What's /hotsg/'s Valeera build?

The globes quest is absolute trash

Globe quest is the only way. You'd better be hitting up those waves/mercs/objectives.

>ranked with 3 masters
>they dive and cost us the game

lmao

I like the assassinate build, it's fun to assblast chromies the moment they let their guard down

globe quest is the only way to not run out of energy mid combo in mid to late game.

I take the hemorrhage talents and assassinate/death from above for mobility, smoke bomb for ult and nightslayer for extra stuns/mobility.

Its more or less designed to be that way. It literally used to be impossible to have more than a 2 level lead.

Depending on map mechanics, level leads are pretty pointless.

Well I ended up going 3/12/4.25 in a brutal loss.

120k Siege/55k Hero damage and 18k exp (21mins)

I tried split laning but since the AI doesn't take over like I thought they did it was a mess. By level 10 I just grouped up since two of our lanes were being soaked.

Neat concept but I personally am going to suck at it.I can do intense map awareness while playing one character but juggling 3 is too much, and I can play a very good Abathur but this isn't going to work

>place team league plat 4
>friend who played all 10 games with me gold 1

dont split up then

just nab merc camps and wipe out towers and forts and help out in the occasional teamfight

Seriously give us a fucking Hellscream already wtf

His HL or QM MMR was higher than yours

Is that viable though? I kind of enjoyed them as a group (I took Longboat but I would probably do Extra Life next time)

I was running around like a cunt grabbing camps (I had 9 total) which was fun as fuck. I saw a Team Fight build, should I just roll with that?

Why don't you start by posting sauce?

When you QM with Vikings, you have to inform your team that they need to group as 4 to push a lane.

You have one viking in each lane. One lane will also have your 4 teammates.
You push that lane as hard as you can. In order to contest it, the enemy team will have to decide whether they let you just push in their forts for free and soak the other lanes, or try to contest your team, leaving the other lanes open and unsoaked; giving you a large exp advantage.
Once you hit 10 you can start participating in teamfights. You should be reasonably far ahead.When there aren't any objectives up you should be trying to get as much soak as you can.
When Objectives spawn bribe camps in the lanes as far away from the objectives as you can so you get the most value out of them. IE: giants on Cursed Hollow. This will force the enemy team to commit to objective or lose structures to the push in the meantime.

i have a moderate level of success doing that

people underestimate the lost vikings, especially in teamfights

place yar bets

Holy shit murky is fucking fun

He's the second hero I have absolutely loved playing

your arthas needs to be a god and Up in varian's and butcher's ass or you're not winning. Khaza needs to put the pressure on the squishies too

Arthas, sonya or anub?
And how do I play whichever one is best?

DELET MARKY

Kripp is playing vs Vetaran bots

I got blonde volleyball Li-Ming. I need tips.

1. How do I play with this raging boner?
2. Best build in the current tank meta? It's hard to get resets on all these tanky fucks.

Sonya is a bruiser, not a tank. Shes also lackluster
Arthas if you have a lot of right clickers on the enemy
Anub if you have a lot of mage

I'd say anub is overall better though it VASTLY depends on team, map and such. Anub is pretty safe though. With anub you are the initiator, so your bread and butter is
>burron in, start wrecking shit and immediately pop your shield, you can press the burrow button mid burrow to surface early
>as your team enters the fight, use your Q to stun priority targets
>take locust if youre getting focus fired and can't sustain, cocoon if they have a very high priority target making it a pain i the ass to win teamfights

Generally speaking though, you won't get anywhere with anub if your team doesn't know how to follow up or engage

dontg really know arthas though

>live on east coast
>70 ping to west coast server
>110 ping to central server
Neat

All on red if they somehow survive the first few objectives.

Abathur buffs when?

...

>hanamura still exists

Didn't Veeky Forums used to say to NEVER initiate with burrow?

strawpoll.me/12995934

what to buy?

...

I tried TLV. had a rough time.

When we say that, we mean don't do this

>playing memes

lili or bust

I mean look at this.

LMAO Guys, Kripp is playing HotS. Gonna watch him get destroyed

holy fucking kek
youtu.be/n3CONkbm3G4?t=604

What's it gonna be

>burrowed into a 5 man
>landed the stun on fucking ETC only
>into a team of TWO (2) auto attackers and stun: the character
>didn't even attempt to hit the auto attackers, his only weakness
>burrowed far too early for his team mates to even do anything
>burrowed in from the front
This hurts me deeply

extra large dragon dildo

>get Demonic Auriel
>it's the "Toxic" tint

Who the FUCK thought this looked good?
The other 2 are infinitely better.
A blue version of it would be infinitely better.

A duplicate hero

Hero, just for you
>tfw haven't seen a butcherlisk in days

STFU and stop complaining you little bitch, you got it for free. Fuck yourself.

shoo shoo

>3 day stimpack
That'd be amazing even if that legendary was literally Butcherlisk. You can daisy-chain stimpacks together and use them to level faster so you can get more chests so you can get more stimpacks, getting more gold, faster level 5's, and random shit along the way.

well, its not a horse

Why is brawl always so shit?

Why would he get destroyed? He'll be matched up against other noobs. His Diablo experience should be enough for him to get by.

>literally carry a game
>teammates ignore the core and have a 5+ min teamfight until our core is destroyed.
>only ONE LANE with any fortresses destroyed at all
>while they were sitting right next to the enemy's core for 5 mins
I want to die, I literally want to die, my day was horrible my week was horrible, my birthday is in the next month and all I want is for the suffering to end.

>Shilling this hard for some e-celeb
I love Kripp, but don't be such a cocksucker please, not only is pathetic to be like that for cunts who don't even care about you but Kripp has enough viewers already

Give me a Johanna build ASAP.

people who pick Varian in QM to go tank build need to be fucking gassed

>Shilling when I want to see him get rekt
ok you could have just said you were retarded instead of typing all that

>Why would he get destroyed? He'll be matched up against other noobs.
Because he partied up with some non-noobs. At least that's what I expect to happen.

why?
are you upset, friend?

Reinforce
Laws of hope
Blessed momentum
Pick ult based on team/map performance. shield toss is generally good but falling sword might get you more in some cases
Burning rage if your team is sorely lacking damage, subdue otherwise
Renewal unless the enemy has 2 or more auto attack reliant heroes. if they do take imposing presence
Indestructible generally, storm shield if you notice the enemy has an easy time ignoring you and going for your team
