THIS GENERAL IS FOR NERDS

This game seems pretty fun, but I'm concerned about depth?

There isn't depth in the traditional places in this genre (item builds, denying, etc) but there seems to be depth in other places? Such as multiple maps, different things to do on the maps, different team compositions, etc. I'm wondering if it is worth trying to put serious time into this game to get to Masters or if it's just a meme game that I should only play for fun.

While not traditionally deep, it's pretty satisfying to learn things like, for example, what maps your main is good on, when to modify your build. There's your comp, the enemy comp and the map to consider.

do you know where you are?

It's the dota-like subgenre and that genre comes with complexity even in the most watered down forms. You will always be able to learn something new like best build versus enemy team comp, best hero choice that matches your team comp, learning different roles such as tank vs support vs DPS, learning hero strength/weakness on each map, and if you get bored with all of that you can play a very difficult hero and try to master it

...

And I hate nerds!

When do the summer shit go live? I want my Uther and Johanna sprays

probably monday

>was Dota fag
>ASsumed Heroes of the Storm was garbage when I read about it
>Actually tried it
>It's a fast, low commitment version of dota that's pretty fun and much less autistic

Let's face it guys the "MOBA" genre is for fucking losers and autistic faggots. The best game among the genre is the one that takes itself the least seriously and removes as many autistic elements as possible, and that would be HotS.

>feel the same way
>Try competitive mode
>Game is actually complete shit

I just want more stupid meme heroes. Cho'gall, Abathur, Murky and other such cancer characters.

Also strongest/weakest heroes in current patch, good lane compositions, and good niche heroes that you can use during specific circumstance

Where the FUCK is Maiev?!

>got a legend
>oh boy
>pic related
meme too real

...

What's so bad about it? Is it the same top 5 heroes every match?

Could somebody explain the hype for the gay tychus skin? I really hope it's all ironic.

Gays are everywhere, the hype is a vocal minority.

How did I do boys?

>jews habba feel dab in je abba life

Are you sure you don't understand the hype?

Take a closer look, user. Do you understand now?

So how broken is Malthael?

I'm stone cold straight and I support any show of muscle.
I respect muscular men and want to become that. It's a goal to strive for.
I guess the only reason you wouldn't support it is if you think it's dumb, or too silly, a better skin could have been made, or if you're insecure about your sexuality.

>tfw you actually kinda like Butcherlisk and want one but every legendary you find is Mystic Kingdom Arthas

Tychus attacks 4 times per second before buffs

dont delude yourself
ur a fag

>people think 10% over 4 seconds is going to be op as fuck
>in a game where people can bet bursted down in 1 second
He will be a counter pick to cho'gall. Which is to say he will never be picked.

>that fucking faceless void
Why?

Also counters to chromie?

HOTS isn't a MOBA, it's a hero brawler

Did you know that everyone's health scaling is +4% per level. This means 34 per second is effectively 2% per second against pretty much anything that's not a hard tank and well beyond... applied at a range and can be extended by 3 seconds by pressing W.

Speaking of Tychus, will they ever fix that abomination that is his face?
Also, how could they fuck up his eye color?

My wife Hana is very cute.

personally i disagree with
basically hots is:
soak exp
take objectives if you can win/have advantage
split push/take merc camps if you can't

there is some depth, like pushing lanes on hanamura, but you can't do any strategy if your team isn't on the same page
in my bronze shitter games, people don't respect merc camps, people will head into 3v5 fights, people will try to take boss when opponents are going to respawn, etc

i play hots because i just want to play a hero kit in a 20 min game

and what rank are you?

i am the bronzest shittest tier i don't even touch rank

>jews habba feel dab in je abba life

His stomach looks like an ex-pregnant womans after she loses 60 pounds

OK whatever you have to tell yourself my man.

Holy wow. Do you have sauce on that picture user? Can I have it please?

OK, so your opinion is worthless. Thanks.

Well with all due respect I have to say that your rank wouldn't allow you to see the depth of the game. You can have some idea, sure, but unless you get to the highest ranks and meet the most efficient players, you won't see the true depth of the game. It could be a deep or shallow game but if you are in Bronze, you wouldn't know either way.

some >ntr manga

>you will never relax in the sun on a tropical beach with chromie

Why even live?

She should really do some squats. Her ass is not at the level it should be.

>murky
>cancer
i cant believe this

This better?

>Lucio basic healing heals for 16 per second
>meanwhile chromie gets 250% aa damage every 2.5 seconds if she doesn't hit any skill shot
>malthael deals 2.5% hp damage per second by just aaing someone as what it is a nightmarish version of sylv trait
>while also having a 15 cd ult that takes away 50% hp
Seems like blizz is taking the LoL idea of "healing is toxic".

Better because you're ignoring that he has that weird gut thing I guess.

What's bad about ranked mode please respond.

I need to know if it's rewarding to get to a high rank in this game. Anyone please respond ;_;

bigger bulge

>faggot tychus riles up the whole thread
>this goddess barely gets any attention
really makes you think about the denizens of Veeky Forums

She can squat on my dick all day.

Thanks user!

do you think it got kicked from the team for being mentally ill and unstable?

Off topic: Why do people hate NTR? Yes I understand that it is a cuckold fetish, but can't you just imagine that you are the bull? That's what I have always done when I liked the art in a NTR doujin. It is not my favorite kind of story but it doesn't bother me.

Chromie got tons of attention too when Bandle was in the thread
will she ever stream drawing Chromie again?

youtube.com/watch?v=D85UY1oICxE

Why has he bolts attached to his body?

>but can't you just imagine that you are the bull?

I don't personally 'hate it' but I don't like it as i'm a more vanilla fan. Also, generally NTR bulls are fat, ugly, balding gross ass men. Who wants to self insert as that?

Not him but I guess you'll be seeing some heroes being either picked or banned every single match such as Varian, Malfurion, Nazebo, Chromie, simply because they are far too much better than most other heroes on the game.

dreadlord when?

Well the thing is, the author generally writes it in a way that the main character is the one being cucked. Sometimes, the manga won't be upfront about it, either, so you end up forming this somewhat "cheer this guy on" attitude towards the MC and then, some chapters in, you realize "oh shit this is NTR."
this is especially true for korean manhwa

Do NOT lewd Vampy!

HotS has a surprising amount of depth, because of the talents, maps and how they interact with the compositions of both teams.

>fat midget
>pussywhipped beta cuck calls her goddess
No wonder women treat men like trash.

literally me

No she can't because she is not real

what the fuck is that

>Female Esports Player (Male)

>tfw you win because the enemy team gives up on dealing with Glogan's autistic pushing

A cave dwelling troglodyte

Here's the funny thing fuccboi, any faggot can get as much sex as he wants, there's plenty of twinks, bears, hunks and whatnot in the ocean, it's simply not a problem like it is for straights. You don't even have to try, you literally get offered sex as long as you're not deformed. And even then like you saw with that tychus muscular uggos get a pass too.

I reiterate my point this is why women treat men like trash.

I swear to God if this is Butcherlisk, Archangel Diablo, or Pajamathur

>hating on Pajamathur

Mount inc

Don't even play the twat

Pajamathur is an objectively stupid skin that only MLP-tier autists think is good / okay / acceptable / not shitty / dank.

It's Widowmaker Nova tier in terms of how shitty it is when it's a paid skin.

god bless

I understand, but you don't seem to understand the fascination with shortstacks. It's not out of desperation or putting women on a pedestal, it's a fetish like any other.

which girl is best to tongue?

>People who just barely scrape to 200-400 HL master ranking by grinding over 100 matches, then coop themselves into a 50% W/L rate on QM

Man, hes repulsive

Not him since I don't mind shortstacks (I'm pretty okay with a lot of fetishes and if it's well done I can fap to it) but what exactly is the appeal with shortstacks? I'm curious there
I never cared much for shortstacks but Chromie is so enchanting I can't describe what it is about her that I love so much

Don't give a fuck about shortstacks, calling her a goddess is just the kind of bullshit a woman would call pathetic and use against you.

Never put pussy on a pedestal even one that fits your biggest fetish.
I'd bet it's size difference.

Which character do you like the most from a lore standpoint?

Why Gul'Dan is so fun? It's insane

Through?

The one with the biggest essence
