/hotsg/ - Heroes of the Storm General

Kel or Maiev or we fucking riot.

This, tired of all these shitty hero releases

retards die because they go for kills that are extremely risky and/or impossible
like a dude with iceblock inside his base with a teammate nearby

Genji players find a way.

But yeah it feels impossible to die on him unless you fail a kill when jumping behind their wall and don't get your reset.

>Miss the fucking slash completely cause guy walked down instead of up
>Get chased down and die
that's how it usually happens for me

Is there ever a reason to take tracer over genji? They seem to do the same thing, but one is more reliable and seems harder to die on.

I'm getting sick and fucking tired of two lane maps

Rock hero when?

...

New info when?

>Disconnect from the team for a bit
>Try to reconnect
>It forces some bullshit catch up process that takes forever to load
>Game is over by the time you rejoin

Whoever thought that shit was a good idea should be shot nursed back to health and shot again.

How long will the welcome bundle be available?

Lili is bae

>having a shit pc or shit internet
this is ur problem, ive rcd instantly p much

Tracer can duel

Genji cant duel but more mobile

It's something at the core of the SC2 engine to help with reconnecting to SC2 matches instead of needing to redo them in tournaments. It's one of the biggest complaints but it's not likely to ever get fixed

give me a fun hero where I don't have to deal with my team

sick of my teammates, I want to make this game as annoying for them as they do for me.

Other mobas can run on potatoes, there's a great contradiction that hots is gameplay wise the most accessible having the lowest skill floor, but the worst when it comes to hardware requirements.

How do you play Falstad?

pretend you're a specialist and splitpush like a total nigger until your team commits to a teamfight then fly to the teamfight and dump all your shit on the closest non-warrior hero without dying

What are the recent patch notes for some heroes? You know, like the stuff on the HotS PBE

what

>newer game needs newer pcs
o.O

Does Blizzard not inform the players on updates for heroes? I want to know who is getting buffed, nerfed whatever. The most recent thing i see is stuff from mid-May

Is shuriken genji > swiftstrike genji?

If they ever release another Multiclass hero I hope that you will be able to pick your spec at level 1 rather than at level 10, and then your lvl 10 ultimate will be based on what you picked at level 1.

got the probe guy in a chest

how do i play him

>Heroes of the Storm has uploaded a new video
>OH BOY FINALLY KELTHUZAD ANNOUNCEMENT YEAAAAAAAAAH BOIIIIIIIIIIII
>It's some shitty blogpost about people climbing ranked for charity

>webweavers don't shoot their aoe anymore
why did they change that?

reflect genji > all other genji builds

they do. in random threads on reddit

Get good with Pylon placement.
Get ballsy with w placement, don't be afraid to spam.
Manage your mana when enemy team is good at hunting pylons.
Map awareness, your z is best used as a preemptive escape, not a reactive one.

Focus on deleting waves with your w, keep on pylon in the back of your lane and the other somewhat forward, if against weak laners then place one close enough to get a photon turret in range of their towers while pushing.

Put down 2 w's when you want to delete a wave early game.

Spam w in teamfight, it's area denial is insane.

Almost always Pylon Overcharge, especially while you're still getting good with him.

Why do you make new threads before the old one even hits bump limit?
It takes hours for a thread to die after they hit the bump limit

waifufagging mostly

/lolg/ has it especially bad, people make threads 100 posts early and even spam old threads to the bump limit just to get their waifu in the op

Don't give Li-Li posters ideas now!

ETC?

We hit it this time.

Because last time we let the thread hit limit niggers weren't linking the last thread along with other mistypes in the OP

Its such a simple job, copy-paste and deleted embed, switch last thread but people still manage to fuck it up

why dont you play other mobas then

man i really would've liked dehaka if he was an assassin instead of a warrior
i feel like a shitty stitches that can soak lanes better instead of a terrifying alien dinosaur monster that makes people afraid of bushes

When playing Kerrigan should you drop your W first then pull people in with the 1 second delay, or pull people and W where you think they're going to walk

that's cause your bad, lad

yes

W then pull. If you practice it a lot it's much more consistent.

no amount of getting good is gonna give me the ability to pop out of a bush and kill some fag that's soaking a lane alone
i can damage him a lot and force him out but he sure as hell won't be dying unless he was stupid enough to sit around with half hp

He feels pretty weird. I feel like I win games with him from the wave clear alone. Don't do much in team fights other than soaking up a retarded amount if damage.

I have a 1070 tho. I'm just giving the argument, i can run lol on my old busted laptop.

w first is more effective, since you can make them get hit by it by dragging them with e

does anyone else not consider shitty maps when calculating their winrate

i'd be around 60% if it weren't for hanamura

i cant remember the last time i won sky temple
my winrate there is like 40%

>Enemy team picked Varian as their tank
>Our last pick takes Tracer

>other team picks gengu
>teammate picks Tracer

mada mada!

this fat motherfucker is so much fun in QM fiestas

why

Idk, from my experience it's a free win for Chen because retards in QM try to burst him down.

>Get him low
>Stun him
>Dead

He only shines if the enemy is devoid of stuns.

Abathur

>Gives a fair critique
>WHY DON'T U GO PLAY SOMETHING ELSE

Literal subhuman logic

lack of focus fire
he shits on a lot of what's popular in QM
people don't even know what half of his abilities / talents do
elusive brawler lets you tower dive 24/7

>tyrande gets a massive rework
>literally no one is playing her
They must have really fucked up her rework badly

How essential his barrel ult? I play him from time to time, and for the love of god I can't land a single good barrel ult. His movement speed buff is too small to actually roll behind enemy hero and push him towards your team - for the most part I just kick them to safety while I yell in frustration. I just ended up using his other ult instead.

))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I just wanted everyone in /hotsg/ to know that as long as you're doing your best, I love you!

y-you too~

get ready for

Mei

>spic playing varian
>goes twin blade and feeds nonstop
when will spics get their own server

i understand taunt varian is a great tank but is twin blades varian really that bad of an assassin?
every time i pick varian with the intention of going twin blades i end up doing really good
is the frustration in that varian going twin blades means you don't have a tank?

Mal'Ganis

Magtheridon

Kil'Jaiden

Archimonde

fucking WHEN

right after leeroy jenkins, hogger and tomator

I'd actually be fine with Hogger

Gnolls don't get enough love

It's only frustrating to me when there's no tank and they go twin blades. Taunt is really, really good though.

In QM twinblade > taunt

Solo merc/boss
1v1 anyone
high dps, decent toughness and utility via banner, mortal strike/shattering

idk boss, would you rather be a squishy faggot with low damage, or an unkillable raidboss capable of 1v5ing the enemy team?

i genuinely want leeroy as a joke character
his three abilities would be:
q: a charge that stuns the target for 0.5 seconds
w: a charge that slows the target by 50% for 0.5 seconds
e: a charge that increases your movement speed by 30% for 5 seconds after it lands
d: leeroy takes damage if he's not moving and his abilities do not cooldown if he's not moving (this damage doesn't prevent doing objectives). leeroy gains a bonus to all damage dealt based on the amount of distance he has moved in the last 2 seconds
r1: an extremely long range charge that doesn't go over terrain but he becomes protected and unstoppable and the charge literally doesn't stop until it lands, the enemy dies or the enemy goes into their fountain
r2: rewind but with a 20 second cooldown
every single talent tier he can choose an activatable talent that grants another charge of charge to one of his charges

>r1: an extremely long range charge that doesn't go over terrain but he becomes protected and unstoppable and the charge literally doesn't stop until it lands, the enemy dies or the enemy goes into their fountain
MEAT

you can actually just run in a straight line for that to stop
so basically a heroic version of that ability though yes

is forced 50 real or is it just a meme

i had a pretty decent win streak today, but my last few games have been flooded with shitters

Not that Twin Blades is bad per say, but Taunt is so good. Taunt lets you stop a character from using abilities or moving for a full second. It's incredibly good CC on a 15 second cooldown, even without the bonus health and armor.

Its real for QM, not real in ranked.

Nature abhors the fel Illidan.

I'm not much of a wandering keg user but you want to flying kick behind an enemy and then barrel, or flank with it.

>heroes of the storm uploaded another new video

>get excited because official heroes youtube uploads two videos
>soundtrack
NEW HERO WHEN

for the last time faggot

june 5

whatever call me the most autistic in hotsg it doesn't change the fact that you're all shitters

>my nigga Gazlowe is STILL a QP god

When is Dbro coming back?
