Do map objective creeps count for Sylvanas' Q?

1st for anime

first for maiev a shit

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

Post your best skin mounts combos /hotsg/
I will rate them.

ELF
BOOBIES

I want to drown Tyrande womb with my semen.

Objective enemies are considered "monsters" and do not gain benefit from damage bonuses for Mercenaries or minion, but Barbed Shots does work against all non-heroic targets, meaning monsters.

What's the point anymore? Why do keep coming back? be honest

Me: If I had a better computer I wouldn't touch this ever again, hopefully will upgrade soon.

Because i like it

haven't won a qm game with a murky on my team, and they are always on my team

makes leveling these heroes really fucking annoying

>If I had a better computer I wouldn't touch this ever again
wha

at last check this game was rather miserable on toasters

>na still first picking genji
>getting shit on
Who would have guessed?

My computer can run pretty much anything, I'm playing because I like opening loot boxes. The game itself does feel bellow average in quality/excitement I get in other games, but with highish production values since it's fucking blizzard game.

What would you play instead if you had a better pc?

-Best moba
-Most iconic heroes
-Lots of maps so hard to get bored (even with rotation
-Friends I like a lot also play, we almost always have a good time

THATS IT

I GIVE UP!

Blizzard wins...
I'm gonna buy all the heroes, even the ones I dont like.

Ok I'm going to ask this again, what are the best heroes for stomping solo Hero League? I have been trying Azmodan and Sylvanas but my teams are too bad to do anything with all the XP and siege I give them.

is there more art like this?
whos the artist?
i need it
please...

>best moba
lmao

Stack abilities to do a stupid amount of damage. Late came can clear merc camps in one cycle of abilities (less than 2 seconds).
Ring of Frost is great for scattering enemies, if you get it off in a team fight it can catch people if coupled with another heroes abilities.
Otherwise treat her like any other Mage assassin.

The game modes keeps things relatively fresh compared to LoL, if you get a shitter or stomped, it's only painful for about 15 minutes most of the time while in LoL it can go up to 1 hour and 30 minutes.

It's the most fun, anyway. Not sure anyone can argue against that seriously.

Some people deserve the worst.

because it's fun, I don't have to take it very seriously, and the new levelling mechanic triggers my autism and makes me want to get every hero to 15

Which cheaper heroes (2k gold - 4k) do you guys picking up at first?

We know, Illidan.

Azmodan
Valla
Diablo
Malfurion

Posting my post again for that user incase he missed it.

is 3rd guy literally /ourguy/

post hots memers

wtf is gilly really a titty monster?

Any traps/submissive qts looking to play?

Do I seriously need to level up 14 different characters to play 1 round of ranked play?

This is dumb.

He seems pretty autistic ans awkward so probably

Yeah so dumb right? You should just be able to dive in and ruin the game for everyone else, right? Fucktard.

When are we getting her, /hotsg/? I need my
thicc bondage elf

y-you too~

You need 14 because there are 10 heroes selected and 4 banned. Necessary evil because it is possible, though unlikely, that the 14 heroes you own are all picked or banned, putting making you unable to play.

Yes, you can only play heroes you have to level 5 in HL so people don't go in there with heroes they've never played. Since there are 10 picks and 4 bans you need at least 14 heroes at level 5.

Can somebody please help me out here? I haven't been able to play in fucking days.

I hate the Mortar Punisher with a passion.

Enemy's? Focuses the turrets/bases for massive damage.

Ours? Starts slapping the enemy tank and then starts running back and forth doing dick all.

>supping pugs

there is no worse fate in any online game

>most fun
>still dying

yuh, im sure its so fun that people cant put it down

Did you uninstall?

it's casual as fuck
you can just run around and click the dudes and not think too hard
that doesnt work too well in dota

Bronze, Silver and Gold exist for a reason, friendo.

Because actual laning is stressful.

Is there any hero that can carry in quick play?

Like I did HORRIBLE (Got out of position ganked cause I went glass cannon twice) in this game and I still embarrassed the rest of my team.

It is so fucking frustrating to be playing with these literal fucking idiots

I just want to win ONE FUCKING GAME

JUST ONE

>le dying game meme
I see /d2g/ is here projecting at us again
Don't you have Peruvians to go be mad at?

m-maybe~

>Teammate picks Zeratul as first pick.
>Whines the whole game about how OP other champions are when they got countered.

Guess I'm gonna have to, huh?

Azmo if you just want to win, go split push and that wins most QM games.

jfc what is it with johanna characters and feeding
do they thing unstoppable means invincible?
also if you want to carry games play kinky bug or li li

Why does everyone of these Elf sluts show bare ass?

before you do check your firewall, uninstall all antivirus or firewalls temporally

u r de only gonstanddd ;DD

I swear to god Blizzard handpicks the dumbest players in the world to ruin your rank.

They're probably used to when she was broken as fuck. :P

I wouldn't say you did horrible (2nd most PvP damage and Most PvE Damage). You died too much but with a shit team like that well it's to be expected.

You probably missed a team fight or two but that probably wouldn't have helped.

As for carriers
>Varian (Full tank)
>Anubarak
>Zarya if you are really really really good at her you can top damage while protecting diving retards. GO HIGH ENERGY BUILD

OFFICIAL LITERALLY WHO LIST
Daily reminder that Blizzard deems these irrelevant nobodies more important than actual heroes that should have been added by now.
>Probius
>Lunara
>Johanna
>Murky
>Brightwing
>Li Li
>Falstad
>Gazlowe
>E.T.C
>Sonya
>Stitches
>Sgt. Hammer
>Lt. Morales
>Valeera

Blizzard asks you to put one waifu into HotS so they can compete with LoL, who do you pick?

Maiev

Falstad is more important than anyone from overwatch or starcraft lmao

I haven't played Warcraft 1-3/Starcraft campaigns the post.

I'm on the verge of quitting. Yeah it can be fun, but it's so mindless, and actually becomes stales and boring. Map variety helps, but you still get the same broken heroes because blizzard can't balance for shit.

That plus I don't feel this game can ever become great. What I see in other mobas are actual meaningful decisions that items provide.

In hots, you always go one build, with the occasional different talent. Early game doesn't mean shit because one mistake late game costs you the game regardless of how dominant you were early.

but isn't Falstad dead?

but none of her talents have changed? How do you lose as Johanna when you just build her trait, walk in to teams, get a massive speed boost and nope the fuck out while they all focus you, letting your team go ham? If you go unbreakable (no reason you shouldnt) you can literally get a shield as big as your health bar spread out across two pops of your trait and that.

I know she's not amazing but there's no fucking reason she should die 12 times in a game

>another hero
>another map
>another waifu
>relaunch the game as Hots 3.0

Maybe it'll work eventually.

what kind of content would you like to see from a Hots streamer? not female

rampage0118

mostly does gross stuff

Hots 5.0 WHEN!?

...

Cute. Who do you usually play?

>Falstad
>Gazlowe
>Valeera

Also Diablo was thirsty for reps, making heroes out of the Playable Characters only makes sense.

>Sonya
>One of the main protagonists of Diablo III
>Literally who
?????

Play naked in nothing but a cowboy hat.

What are you talking about? Hammer, Morales and Probius probably didn't even exist before HotS

she is not muh canon D3 Barbarian. Just like Johanna.

agreed

map variety is pretty shit too. most of them come down to
>map objective spawning
>group up and team fight or lose
map objectives become so obscenely strong mid-late game that you HAVE to do them. id say even though other mobas only have 1 map, hots maps are self-limiting = bland

Abathur buffs when

thanks senpai

>Stop being bad

There I buffed every single Hero you can play

I disagree. This game is already great. The design decisions mean there's much more focus on macro and less carrying, more team coordination. All the other games with items are so fucking meta that you're going to pick the same shit anyway, HotS already offers more flexibility since you have characters like Varian who have two great spec options, Azmo can pursue two builds, most characters can choose to play one of two roles or have variation in their talent/ult selections for the situation.

I agree about the shit balance but it's not like DotA2 or LoL are much better.

After axing literally everything Blizzard related and reinstalling I think I got it to work

Cheers

If the next hero is OW I'm quitting this shit screenshot this.

...

What about Samuro?

REMINDER

can you fuck off already

So I'm almost level 100 now. Still pretty new to the game I suppose, started with 2.0

So far I feel like some heroes are just too good or flat out better than many others.

For example, Anub'arak and Falstad as well as Sylvanas and Azmodan seem pretty broken good at what they do. The latter two pushing.

The nest hero will be released the week of the anniversary

Who are you expecting?

I will legitimately add you and play with you if you'd like

I'm pretty dominant though, just a heads up.

Get ready for Reaper/Mercy/Mei/Zenyatta.

>highest win rating

git gud

that's not even naisha, naisha had a purple-reddish tone

that's just a fucking normal huntress, get your shit together newfag
