Still playing Artanis.

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

I didn't know Blackheart's Bay was so long and had so much shit in it. It has like a bunch of the themes.

Kendric just uploaded a video saying hes going to a summit for a "show match" where all the twitch and content makers from Europe where there be some kind of announcement TOMORROW.

Pallyfat also going to Cali for aa similar event.

Get hype?

>Grubby's "close enough but still not a map tier list" Tier List
>Tier lists are effective guidance tools, but should never be blindly followed

Esports or will Blizz be there?

Who let that autist make the thread again

Payed for by Blizz similar to the announcement for 2.0

What's wrong with that exactly?
Not enough 9gag memery in it or something?

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

>Chromie
How? Please explain

I don't even know which OPs we are complaining about any more. No embeds, not early, relevant art, no waifuing.

Is it just the tier list bugging y'all? It is just to stop noobs coming in and asking "who's good?". Do we have a better alternative?

Would the KT and Maievfags be mad if the next hero would be Snake Sanders?

wasn't
>pleb lists
what was posted in the last like ten threads? why change it?

>It is just to stop noobs coming in and asking "who's good?
and did it work?

>my mmr supposedly goes from silver to plat
>games are somehow worse

Why does it matter? I didn't copy the last OP, I had some old OP post saved and edited it on my phone because we were over limit and was bored at work.

Get over yourself

Assuming that it stopped some, but we only saw the ones it didn't. Yes.

Fuck it. If I get to do OP, I'll cut the lists. I am glad we got the album art for the pic though.

Li Ming looks good for once.

>silver: bad at the game
>plat: bad at the game but very vocal about their bad opinions and will rage over literally anything

Why is the music so good?

i agree. too bad blizzard doesn't and we will still keep getting the trap versions of female heroes as official `art`

help me, what hero do i get?

>illidan
pro - i love playing him and have a fuckload of skins for him from boxes
con - im shit at him

>cassia
pro - fun and cute as frick
con - will never crush my head between her gorgeous thighs, and also her self-root is a little annoying

>varian
pro - meta
con - i fear the inevitable nerfs will not be kind to him

>greymane
pro - one of the funnest heroes i've played so far
con - q build is fucking boring but its too good to pass up

>arthas
pro - got hard cc, damage, tankiness, high healing, the whole package
con - fuck mana, fuck mobility creep, and fuck mages

>lunara
pro - sopping wet + damage
con - dies to a butterfly sneeze

>leoric
pro - fun to play, goofy mr skeletal, spoopy, good memes
con - i literally have a 0% winrate on like 15 games with him

>russians

Varian recently got nerfed, he's fine now.
Greymane is also a good choice, and sounds like you enjoy him the most.

>shield wall
>fine
O i laff

get arthas. the cons you described can basically be averted somewhat with his talents. learn to manage mana. plus you literally just shut people down by existing

2 weeks to grind from 1000 master points to gm

shoud i do it lads

Just buy Varian already you fag. You shouldn't buy heroes you don't like or you're bad with them, and varian, greymane and arthas are top tier apparently.

May as well try. May make you happy.

how the fuck do i play greymane

LUNARA

it seems like people have trouble not attacking shit.
the moment you stop attacking varian, dva, genji or zarya when they got their shit up their whole skill synergy goes down the drain.

Illidan score: 5/10, too easily countered, doesn't really do anything spectacularly better than other melee assassins
Cassia score: 7/10 she does what she does, weak to mages, wrecks autoattackers
Varian score: 10/10 beeftank fightgod (always pick Taunt)
Greymane score: 9/10 flexible and strong in nearly every regard, flips out and hella fun
Arthas score: 8/10 durable with good control, but doesn't have the lockdown necessary to succeed on his own, roots just aren't good enough in the grand scheme
Lunara score: 4/10 DoTs everywhere is fine in QM but any support worth their salt just scrubs away her presence, anyway there's worse options
Leoric score: 7/10 tankbuster goodness but struggles to control a nimble enemy team


All in all, I'd say Greymane first and Varian second, then Leoric or Arthas for the bullying.

>this shit on cursed hollow
I think I'm done with quickmeme for a while.

Press Q on their tank
Press W and AA anyone in range
When someone is low press E and then Q
If team is full of squishes take GFFT
If team has a strong frontline take Bullet

someone pls spend the next half hour of your life typing up an extensive list on which support to pick in different senarios

it should include effectiveness based on map/ friendly team comp / enemy team comp / honry level

thanks you!

Most redditor and forum poster will keep crying as long as protected exist

>For every map
>pick Lucio
Done.

>varian 10
>greymane only 9
>arthas fucking 8
smells like below masters in here.

>Quickmatch
>Healer vs no healer
How do I know you're lying?

git gud with cocktail, try to hit minions,walls,buildings with enemy heroes behind them

poke with q and aa in human, when you see low hp go e,auto,q

you can also finish with style using e behind minions then cocktail

learn what heroes u can man fight in worgen, you can duel most of the tanks, even chen

push lanes and take keeps with worgen if theres a chance

best carry hero in HL atm t. best gm eu

>Varian
>pro - meta
Only reason you ever need.

>nerfs
He's been nerfed like 5 times already. He is already nerfed. Go ham.

>illidan doesn't really do anything spectacularly better than other melee assassins

Are you retarded or something?

>tfw I hate playing Genji in Overwatch but actually enjoy playing him in Hots

My issue with Greymane from a perfect score is that he can misstep just a little too easily, transforming into wolf and getting detonated like a chump feels bad.

And in the end Arthas just doesn't do enough for my standards.

I'm bottom of masters occasionally drifting down to diamond 1

>theres an abathur on boths teams
how do i know you have downs

t-thanks~

anything but illidan

>drummer stitches never
NICE GAME BLIZZDRONES

>abathur but no healer
>abathur doesn't get the heal talent
why is it always the pajamathurs

Who would be the memeiest hero they could add for each franchise?

Daily reminder that Objectives are anti-fun cancer and should be removed entirely from the game.

Secondary reminder that Stun > skill, because Blizzard refuses to rework and balance outdated game mechanics.

Not even worth a (You)

i belive you dont know what you're talking about friendo but have a good day

Heal shield is absolutely useless in team fights and not a substitute for a real healer.

>have abathur but no healer
>he goes locust talent at level 1 but proceeds to focus on the other shield talents as he levels up

>anti fun
>the entire point of this game
Autismo splitpusher detected

That's cool and all but what I'd really like to see is who the next hero is going to be, and whether or not Genji will be nerfed.

>widowmaker nova
>afk the first min

Murky. The answer is always Murky.

logged in just to upvote this xD

Shielding minions.

DELET FUCKING MARKY

>abathur can hat mule
This changes everything

>haha, again

Huh? Objectives are what the game is built on. It causes teamfights, which is the only fun thing in this game.

Which heroes can go BAAAAAAAAAAALLS DEEP

Diablo

Diablo. However Genji can go so deep he'll come out on the other side

>Try me!

bets lads

>Spellsteal hero never

isnt it about time for new character reveal?

Best bug coming trough

all in on blue

Artanus

>pick stitches to troll team with my hook
>end up winning anyways because i can't fucking die

i don't really think bronze league quckmatch is the discourse people want here. it's leans more towards waifus and femdicks

Blue. Red is pretty bursty but they'll probably miss half the time. Also blue has the beetle of balance.

bronze 3, anything goes

Why melee stun bot uther with holy fire is so fun ?
Just killed Valeera that tries to 1v1 me

Holy shock is more fun.

Did a furry draw that?
It has that look to it

Can an announcer drop from a chest for the respective character?

I've got an abathur chest and I'm wondering if I should go max rerolls on it for the announcer chance.

Its the muscles isnt it?

blue won and healer abathur is hilarious

Depends on how exactly you mean

"im in ur backline killing ur d00dz" (literally deep, past the enemy frontline)
>Anub'arak, Tyrael, Illidan, very bold Sonya with Leap, Zeratul, Valeera
"I LIVE IN THE FIGHT AND FUCK YOU IF YOU DON'T WANT TO COMMIT" (alternatively, lok'tar ogar: all-ins fight to the finish)
>Artanis, Sonya without Leap, Butcher, generally Cho'Gall, technically Murky
"I AM the engage" (when the fight starts they are in the front of it and the ones to close gaps, but not necessarily very deep)
>Diablo, Varian, cautious Sonya with Leap, Chen

the general thiccness and the weird nose

best girl

>dunning-kruger

how is gold working out?

Reveal tomorrow

thank god for all the shitters who play genjin and keep his winrate low

I can continue to stomp games all day

>doing placements
>first game of ranked ever
>matched with silvers
>they draft 3 melees into kt and flame eachother all game for basically anything
>next game matched with bronzes
>thrall just says "gg i resign" at the start of the game and disconnects with no one else having said anything, draft wasn't even bad
>take a break because i tried very hard both games and the shit i had to deal with is giving me a headache
>friend connects and says he finished his placements in gold
>his portrait border is the same as the guys i just played with
>it wasn't silver and bronze it was platinum and gold
what the fuck is bronze and silver like then

I thought the same thing, something about the face and muscles.

d e d g a y m e

How about you piss off back to /owg/, you cretinous wasteman.

Is Abathur good? What are some tips and tricks, and builds?
I've played him on and off up to level 9 and thought I'd actually put some effort learning to play him well rather than just, you know, play.
