/hotsg/ - Heroes of the Storm General

I'm going to bully the slug no matter the cost.

Lune sprays when?

I don't want the streamerfags and lolsheep to migrate en masse to hots but on the other hand I want league of legends to finally keel over and die

I don't know how to feel

>lose QM match in group
>not even stomp, fairly close match
>people start getting kicked out
>people start leaving
>snarky remarks everywhere
>butthurt and salt all over the place
>and it keeps happening

Is this why are mobas hold in such low opinion? Like, it was funny when i saw it first few times, but after seeing it every day it gets kinda old. Can't even begin to imagine ranked.

this is bait right, they would never implement something like that

Which one should i buy?

I'm not really a streamerfag, but I watch streams when I'm eating. Can't really play effectively while eating, you know.

Also, we all know that HotS doesnt have an awesome spectate live games tab like Dota 2 does

>Tfw Artanis was the missing piece of the fun quickmeme puzzle

>tfw gonna shit up team league just for the mount

deal with it nerds

I think, like, 90% of Team League is people just doing placements for the mount.

I got plat 4 feels good man

The red one, seriously for good reason.

You want to know why? Ask me why.

>when you're getting really upset and dejected towards the end of a match because the enemy team is pushing your shit in and you and 4 of your team mates are just holding them off barely at the core.
>you finally die
>they start putting damage on the core
>suddenly they all scramble to leave
>game ends
>victory
>one of your team mates soloed the boss and back doored them when no one was paying attention
>they didn't even tell us

that magnificent bastard

Why?

>Do placements when season started
>g5
>Push to plat for the mounts
>fell to s3
>start using nothing but Muradin
>climg to g1

We are all going to make it bros.

I wish I could do webms.

Who was he playing?

technically li li. i bought all the launch 2k gold stuff at once after playing about a month.

Johanna.
She's basically just Leona

Is there anything Varian can't do?

Because fuck you, that's why.

But no, seriously, it's because whoever the fucknut it was at Blizzard in charge of those 3 skins didn't bother to recolor the "custom" spell effects for the blue and green color skins. So if you're using either of those, you're still gonna shit out a red fire wolf, etc...

fuckin raynor

Heal.

Playing Murky. Trying to get stacks of bribe and Li Ming refuses to stop firing her stupid orb in to my wave. Why is quick play such trash?

Wow, that's shit.
Blizzard is so fucking lazy with these HotS skins. It's sad because some of them are so cool and they just fuck it up by being sloppy with the details. AzGul'Dan offends me because they could have had different minions and Fel effects on the laser and the Black Pool. Instead it's just a green ball.

Don't need healin' when all your enemies are dead.

>Blizzard is so fucking lazy with these HotS skins. It's sad because some of them are so cool and they just fuck it up by being sloppy with the details.
Remind me of that time a blue poster said green fire for warlocks was literally impossible due limitations.

WoW killed Everquest, Daoc, Asheron's Call, etc.

It was only a matter of time. Blizz knows what they're doing.

can someone give me a quick rundown on how to play Malfurion? he is the hero with by far the worst winrate I have

it is fucking abysmal and i dont know what im doing wrong

I wish LoL would die too
I don't want HotS to take off as an esport though, that's how good games die. DotA was so fun as a mod but then people started taking it seriously and basshunter made a song about it and then shit went south.

I think I like hots because at its core it feels like a fun mod to me.

>blue poster
what?

So have you tried any heroes recently you never thought you'd actually like?

I tried D3 wiz and she was a lot of fun, probably my new favorite ranged hero next to Sylvanas.

Did you explain it to her or just rage on some random weebshit image bored

Hey, me too. Tried out Li Ming, she's fun. I'm not good with her though.

JUST

team league is actually way better than hero league because you have 1 guaranteed non shitter with you (you're not playing with shitters I hope) and also you can instalock the OP hero you're good at no matter what place you're at

i like how bursty she is
throwing a ball and blinking into them right as it hits is crazy.

who are some heroes that you hated at first but fell in love after getting familiar with their kit? i didn't really like greymane but after getting used to his kit i had a blast

On the blizz forums, someone who works for Blizzard has their posts appear with blue text.

oddly enough vella.

>Wow, that's shit.
Yea, you'll generally encounter the same thing with some of the other specialty skins.

My best advice to you is if a skin advertises "custom spell effects", click on the "TRY" button to test it in demo mode first before buying it. Also helps you to see what the skin actually looks like in-game, because some of them don't really look all that awesome when the camera is zoomed out in regular gameplay view

He works for Blizz and lies or doesn't know about what the game engine can and can't do? Was that guy fucking retarded?

Kerrigan, I still love her.
But my real love is auriel, and I'm going to marry her

Even landing the dumbest of swaps makes you feel so good and forget about the 50 attempts you missed earlier. He's so much fun, I can't wait until he finally comes out of a loot box.

Is azmodan a good pick in solo queue? If not, what specialist heroes are good in solo queue?

Diablo, when I was first playing, I had no idea what to do or how to build him, but then I figured out the combos and now he's one of my favourites.

Azmodan, Sylvanus, and Murky are probably the best solo queue Specialists.

Should I get Demonic Auriel?

Same. I found Diablo just boring as fuck and even watching other people play him he seemed very average. After revisiting him I've come to really like him. Li Ming too, in the beginning I hated her because I just didn't understand the poke game. Now I love her.

if you like it just go ahead

slyvanas and nazeebo are top tier specialists both in QM and solo

>wanting to defile the embodiment of purity and hope

how do i play the 'zeebs
i understand "pick the voodoo stacks 20 talent and win" but sometimes i have the stacks and sometimes i get fucked on them

Is Murky just a meme hero or is he actually good?
I've seen him wreck forts and keeps, but it sort of only happens when people are not paying attention to him.

I did.

Zeebo is actually pretty versatile so just read his abilities and figure out what you want to focus on. How you build him depends on what you want and what your team needs and what the enemy team will get away with, moreso than other heroes.

He's both.
He's dangerous if left alone but if the enemy tries to focus on him he can make it hell since he's only worth .25 EXP and can constantly run away with his bubble. And that's wasted time that they could be engaging with the rest of Murky's team who all seem like threats. But then Murky is free to do his bullshit.

The thing about Murky is he forces choices. Do you focus on Murky and have to endure the pain of chasing him down while his team runs rampant? Or do you let him farm your mobs to hire mercs that will keep assailing you once he gets his momentum going? In a team fight do you focus on him and take him out while the rest of his team is bombarding you? Or do you focus on his team and then let him slime you for free and harass you with his bomb fish? He is the most annoying distraction character in the game.

Is the pixie charm on Brightwing any good?

Spiders.
Bet it all on spiders.

And stop taking the channeled ult.

give me your best murky builds

i tried slime time but im too retarded to get stacks of it early game and i only ever seem to get use out of it lategame.

also, what am i meant to do? do i just clear empty lanes, and throw blowfishes at buildings?

His March of the Murlocs ult is annoying as fuck.

how do I play the lost Vikings?

Don't.

This was already answered, although maybe it was in the last thread. You waveclear enemies with the fish and then bribe mercs. The mercs siege for you. When your team is engaging you can molest the enemy by sliming them and throwing the fish, forcing them to focus on you or the fish. Either way you then bubble out and your team kills them. If they ignore you, they eat a shitload of damage. You basically just go around harassing the enemy team indirectly.

Sure

on the snes

How do I build T. Racer?

...

sounds like he'll be well worth the 7k gold then

i've already put a few levels into him but knowing now what exactly to do is making me pretty excited

Since she's a melee assassin, get all the melee skills.

...

Uh, kill somebody without dying yourself.

>just started playing murky too
>pull the firebat murky skin
aww hell yes niggers

>this led to a 30 minute match on braxis with over 50 deaths on each side

Who is the best afk farmer Abathur or Leoric ?

murky

>Ragnaros launch
reaching league game length

uh because of the feed games with Leoric seem to last longer, so there's less checking back in

how ?

abathur

although im not sure the build or best way to use him yet

Mfw bought discount Abathur with crystal for afk farming purpose

after coming from lol and being a tryndamere 1 trick pony i told myself i was done with that shit

turns out im not

damn i bet genji loves going against vikings

Can somebody tell me how to build/play Tychus effectively? If there are no high HP heroes for me to melt I feel like I'm just not useful, no matter how well I do. With the exception of winning a teamfight by myself using Odin. I guess I'm asking if there is a way to make him feel less underwhelming? Cause it's not like I'm doing bad, I get a decent amount of MVPs with him.

>If there are no high HP heroes for me to melt I feel like I'm just not useful

That's literally why you pick Tychus. When there are high HP heroes to tear down.

>buh quick match

Get the fuck out of Quick Match for the love of fucking GOD.

>if odin up just wreck and deal huge aoe damage
>if no odin play carefully with long range grenade, hit the nearest hero without overextending and keep dash for escape

how does one even get stacks on slime quest?
I literally can't hold 4 sec in hectic teamfight to even get the CD of second slime off

M U R K Y

Abathur buffs when?

If you have people who will stand and take hits like DVA, Samuro, Rexxar, Cassia take "in the rhythm" and melt everyone with your infinite %damage. Otherwise take the attack speed buff to power up the odin. Use grenades to gank, take the stronger knockback. Healing from the mini-gun damage is still good since that second HP bar demoralizes people even if it takes a while to actually hit you.

you need to hit someone that's already slimed

i imagine early game you'll just have to camp out near a fake egg

>Cassia
Cassia doesn't stand and take hits, silly.
She runs and takes hits instead. :^)
