He-man skin for arthas when?

Aaaaahhhh when?

>win 3 games daily quest

I don't want your gold anyway, blizzard.

Its taste inspection day

Just do vs AI

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

In the never ever bin sadly along with Kel and Baal.

>Baal
GOOD

THAT FAG SHOULD STAY DEAD FOR KILLING MY LEVEL 78 HARDCORE BARB REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>especialist

If that's the standard then Duriel is just never even gonna be a concept

>Kel'Thuzad was under consideration for inclusion as early as 2011.[
>Preliminary work on Kel'Thuzad's model was done on the artists stage at BlizzCon 2014.
Reminder that work on Genji started in December 2016 who got released in less than 6 months of work.

>Genji is the face of skilled Overwatch players
>Kel'Thuzad is a literal who

>gengu

>that picture
>gengu

lost my shit

>Assassin main: Gul'Dan
>Warrior main: Chen
>Support main: Tyrande
>Specialist Mains: Medivh/Abathur

I mean, of those I'd only take Guldan into ranked, but those are favs.

Waifu: Li-Ming
Hated: Morales
Skin: Eagle Eye Tyrande/Flame Warmaster Chen
Battleground: Spider queen.
Winrate: Rexxar at almost 74% hero league winrate. I'm nothing special on Rexxar, just control point map cheese. Haven't played him since they fucked up his controls though.

It is kind of weird, I just wish Blizzard would at least give some word on it, like "Oh yeah just a bit of trouble with his model or kit" like just something.

Why in the fuck I need to be level 5 or more whit hero to play it on ranked?
That has to be the most retarded shit I have ever seen in any video game in history.

Are you only suppose to play specialist in qm? PvE is way too strong

fucking kpop murky

>End your life user geez, how can someone low as you aim to someone high as me?

post'em

Now that i think about it Jaina may be the superior waifu

Most people ignore camps leaving anyone that goes out of their way a lot of camps to get. It's been pretty fun sending waves of mercs at the enemy with gazlowe.

ok how about this
>soul of nexus hero
>can alter the objectives on every map
>able to reshape terrain
>gains 3x exp from everything for a short time
>damage increases every second

>able to reshape terrain
Yeah, nope

I want to see something like a stealth specialist to make the shitters extra salty.

should be easy enough to figure out

What's the best talent build for Valla?

I always go w/ multishot path

I've never tried her basic attack build but maintaining hatred w/ Rancor seems fun.

picking zuljin

>actually having fun playing HL again
>suddenly start getting teamed with retards

Q build

depends
on
the
map
and
their
comp
and
your
comp

...

why is li ming so perfect

>jaina is not a specialist
>thrall is not a specialist
>sylvanas is not an assassin
>kael is not a specialist

what the actual fuck

wat

...

Always go Arrow

>Thrall isn't a support
What the fuck?

they gave Thrall's kit to Reghar

>10 000 eons in windows movie maker
>no (You)s

Just picked the game back up, last time I played was at release.

Is this /dedgaem/ now? It's middle of the day on Sunday and barely anyone in the Veeky Forums room.

>tfw arthas doesnt have death grip
would have been so cool.

9pm onwards is when it's most populated for EU

It's more alive than ever.

I can't even tell who your waifu is meant to be

its a fetal alcohol syndrome disorder stricken kerrigan fanart

I know.

hot

that's why Metzen left Blizzard by the way

It's obviously Kerrigan.
>sagas293 Aba
kek

But who's the guy next Alarak under "Assassin Main"?

What is Thrall even up to these days?
Last thing I remember was him getting beat up on Broken Shore and saved by Baine.

I'm so close to giving up on the HL road to Master. I can't break past D2 because it's just a loss streak the second I get there, but then when I'm back to D3 I just end up getting promoted back to D2 again, but then the loss streak happens once again. There's no way out of this shit in sight, it's just a win/loss streak fiesta.

You can literally get to masters by doing pve, ask glogan. Blizzard really fucked up with how strong it is

FEEL THE HATRED OF TEN THOUSANDS YEARS

Post obscure waifus/husbandos you'd love to see.

>blood raven
>obscure

Well now I just feel silly for not getting it.

I'm pretty sure most people don't remember her and she wouldn't end up high enough on most wanted Diablo heroes.

stitches is too much fun in qm

>reach lvl 20
>enemy has boss and pushes with 4
>pop ult and run in there with effective 10k hp
>so much fucking selfheal that you can get 2 of them to 50% and the other 2 to ~70%
>stall enough that the rest of the team can come over
>still have 50% of hp left after that

Main/Assassin/Highest Winrate: Greymane
Tank: Johanna
Support: Uther
Specialist: Azmodan
Waifu: Li-Ming
Most Hated: Alarak
Favourite Skin: Marshal Raynor
Favourite Battleground: Warhead Junction

how do i get good with illidan? i end up dying a lot and not doing much damage until lategame when i can permanently transform

Hey guys Blizzard employee here, we will release Stukov, Maeiv and Mephisto all on the same day next week. Trust me on this

QUICK WHO'S THE BEST SPECIALIST

Gazlowe

Don't judge illidan by damage, judge by k/d. You pretty much only do single target damage so you're always going to be lower than most assassins, and on top of that you can't burst anyone down so you have to be good to stay in a fight for a long time.
Basically just practice, learn when to dive and more importantly when not to dive (much more often the case).

you have to read the flow of the teamfight to dodge the damages with ult and evasion and stick to the high priority targets. His laning is shit so try to duo lane/jungle/kill the guy as soon as possible. Take the quest talent lvl 1 if you feel like you can splitpush and use the hunt to join teamfights. Every time i chose it i got like +60 AD minimum out of it

Sylvanas

Know when to dive and when not to dive

alright

what builds would you recommend? i copied mine from masterleague and saw little success

...

>The hunt
Why when demon transformation is better in every regard

What's this from

As with most heroes, talents can vary depending on who is on each team, so it's just something you need to learn from game knowledge.

my butt

Nimble defender is good too if they dont have burst casters

quickmatch was a mistake

>splitpush top
>they fight at objective
>"4v5 ez"
>hunt the carry
>carry is now stunned and damaged with a illidan on his ass while the frontlane already initiated
>i also took a fort and stacked my lvl 1 meme quest

it also cockblocks splitpushers so hard

How do i win with vikings in QM? I cant do alot of dmg until 20, but my team will always try to 4v5 instead of trying to get pick offs. Which makes us lose in XP as they fight 4v5 all the fucking time instead of laning safe and getting them picks.

playing HotS makes me want to try out a deeper ASSFAGGOTS, should I DL LoL, Doter2 or Smite ?

lol is a garbage chinese owned game
dota will take months, maybe even years to learn all the intricacies unless you basically want to be a russian tier shitter
smite is worse than hots to be honest, who even plays that trash

Dota if you're autistic
leeg if you're a animeposter
SMite if you're a Overbaby

if you hate humanity and/or want to hate humanity, feel free to do so.

btw. If you want to go deeper, just test them all out for like 3-4 games.

Also HoN might be more fun for you than Dota 2.

damn that's bleak

the best ep

QUICK WHICH IS THE SINGLE WORST BASIC ABILITY

meant for

abathur's hat

...

I really don't get this meme

She looks much better here than in game.

Anger

Former dotard, don't bother with any of them desu

League is shit

Smite is literally League with a third-person gimmick down to the lanes and roles

I still love watching Dota but it requires so much investment to enjoy, and even if you commit the time there's a 50% chance any random game will be ruined because matchmaking stuck some third-world fuck on your team.

pobressito

what happened to blizzard ?
Overwatch clashes so much with the rest of their games, even lost vikangs and rnr racing

Since I'm half asleep I didn't check to see if the old thread was dead. In response to user asking what to carry with.

Can anyone tell me which heroes are the best first picks in these categories

1. Assassin
2. Support
3. Specialist

The answer is always what you can play the best.
Assuming that is equal, and assuming you really don't need know the enemy or allies, it is greymane, Malfurion, nazeebo.

Something versatile that can't really be hard countered. Also what you play best. Also what you just want to play. It's a game meant to be fun after all.

Even something like Li-Ming can just get shat on by an Anub pick. Something like Valla would be much better as a first pick. Especially since it gives your team the option to pick around her like with Auriel for instance.
