Heroes of the Storm General - /hotsg/

Any drawfag here? I'd love to see this

Summer was NOT a mistake

For Tassadar's templar will(aa) quest, none of that affects Archon right?

>current meta
much more of a buzzword than hyper carry or versatile damage dealer

Aa range?

The range boost does.

Why is there no Zerg Skin for Anub'arak?
It would fit perfectly!

Gotcha, worded weirdly then.

Force Wall used to be great before his rework, is Archon still too good to be passing up?

>chu fapping to the new SUCC Kerrigan skin on stream

It's being saved for the Amon event.

Abathur buffs when

just opened 20 boxes a m a

You want her to live up to the title of queen of bladed or not?

>Didnt wait for the hunky Ty skin to hit
Why are you so bad

Everyone needs a summer skin

not him but aren't they likely to add a specific summer lootbox instead of letting us stock up boxes for events

Bikini for Li-Ming when? Her orb can be a beachball and her staff can be a parasol.

i needed something to get the edge off a 46 minute match i lost

I highly doubt it, but this is Blizzjew

boxes are predetermined as soon as you get them, you numpty.

This isn't Overwatch

untrue, blizz publicly stated that it's decided when you open them. overwatch is as you said, not hots

It works exactly the same m8. You can't "stock up boxes". You can fucking open a box, click your portrait, go to your profile, click a hero to go to your collection, open the box again and get the exact same shit.

has tlv ever been free

Nope.

Considering how bad the people who own vikings are, TLV free week would be literally unplayable.

>Play Abathur is QM
>Top Siege, Damage and EXP
>0 deaths
>Snipe keeps easily
I guess everyone in QM is a shitter huh

>start of 2.0
>hero league queues are like 10 seconds
>most games are surprisingly full of competent people

>OW event is over
>hl queues are like two mintues long
>every game is full of ragers over a single bad rotation
jesus what happened

are you dense? the difference is simple: if it's determined not when you receive the box but instead when you open the box, then you can save the box until an event to get event specific loot

The people who only like OW left, the people who like OW and HOTS are inhuman monsters.

>lucio comes out
>instantly goes up the ranking, considered the best healer
>gets banned instantly in ranked
>a couple of months later
>two warriors and an assassin get a buff
>lucio is now the worst healer in the game

Can someone please explain to me how this is supposed to work?

Hey now I own tlv and I'm pretty good with them. Although I do struggle if one viking is left alone in a lane when there isn't an objective going on

you left out the part where he got nerfed you retard.

>play Hanamura
>win
>feel unmotivated to play anymore because Hanamura is such a shit map
>figure I'll play one more match and then stop for the day
>its Hanamura again
>alt+f4
How was your day user? I myself really miss to be able to play all the maps.

i miss dragon shire..

>play Samuro
>get nothing but Hanamura and Haunted Mines

Isn't Hanamura a great map for him? He can just go around taking camps and still be useful since camps give XP.

>How was your day user?
Well I'm working the 12 hour shift at the power plant that started 7 in the animated and nothing much has happened which is good.

So pretty good

i think that was anons point as the camps on mines are arguably better than the golem until late in the game.
...right user?

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

I was implying that Hanamura's camps are pointless and there's almost always an objective to be helping with, and that Haunted Mines has shit camp placement.

>tfw you take the healing camp on hanamura on one bribe

>Hanamura's camps are pointless
Unlike every other map, taking the camps of Hanamura gives a nice chunk of XP (about a minion wave or half a hero kill), and in particular the Support camp has a really useful item that aids greatly in teamfights (basically a one shot AoE health fountain).

>pointless
>giving your team something like a 60% HoT as well as a ton of xp is pointless

hey those weapons, is he a commie?

No hammer, only sickles. He does not seize all the means of production, only the farmland.

I SAID IT'S POINTLESS STOP CONTRADICTING ME REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

arcane mage WHEN

Li Ming and Medivh.

one that has some resemblance to arcane mage as a spec in wow and in playstyle not just "well a single ability of medivh's is arcane looking"

Dadgar when?

With Thrall's rework incoming, name any ability that should get a rework.

Tyrael's passive for me. Rewarding death for a divetank is straight up retarded. I don't know what should be done instead but allahu ackbar is shit.

>No Khadgar hero yet
>With absurd quests that has you kill 500 minions, 50 takedowns and 80k damage to complete

They really need to change the way bribe works on Hanamura.

No scratch that, they need to change how Camps work on Hanamura.

Or just remove the map.

Deer rework

It's less a rewarding your death and more punishing their killing

...

What are you implying, that Johanna needs a rework?

Raynor's passive.

Literally "20% more range, 20% more vision range", meanwhile Tass has an activatable 150% vision range passive AND also 20% more range without it even being mentioned in his trait. We've long since departed from 5.5 as the -standard- range for ranged heroes, there's plenty of outliers and it never reflects in their traits.

Just make his E his passive and give him a new ability.

Speaking of Thrall, how will blizzard ever hope to differentiate the two ults? They're both teamfight ults that perform pretty similarly, walk nearish enemy team and hit R, choose the one that's tuned better at the moment and don't worry about the other one.

Stitches' slam, Raynor getting a real trait

Make healing his passive and replace his E with something else. Maybe a mode that increases his range significantly but lowers his attack speed?

Hanamura is such a shit map.

They probably want him to stay simple so don't expect a new ability ever, his trait should honestly just be some version of seasoned marksman but better though

Needs to dissipate its damage over long ranges or split the damage with nearby enemies rather than just splashing on them.
That way it does punish team fight close groupings, but does give a tank the opportunity to run in near the target and take some of the damage themselves to try to spare the squishy.

As you mentioned the difference is activation, which is also why Oracle had a long cool down

What's wrong with pyroblast?
I hate Hanamura and Towers of Doom so much, ending a game seriously is not satisfying if you don't get to smash their base in
Right but his point is more "why is his entire trait 'i have more range than some other heroes'"
Tanks don't have a trait that says "i have more hp than most heroes", why does Raynor have the same but for range?

>What's wrong with pyroblast?
[PROTECTED]

Sundering is a better initiation tool and serves as an interruption and damage ability. It has utility in being able to split a team up badly if you're throwing one inbetween front- and backline.
It's the one you take for decisive fights, get in, kill shit, win the fight quick.

Earthquake isn't a good initiation tool as you need to manually walk up to them. It's godly as an disengage though, and provides constant peeling and sustain if enemies choose to stay inside, and zones badly if they stay clear of it.
It really helps sustained damage dealers on your team to keep up their damage without as much fear of retaliation or the problem of their target getting away.
You pick this for more drawn out teamfights or objectives that require staying in one area for an extended amount of time.

Just because both are teamfight ults that serve the purpose of fucking up your enemies doesn't mean they're too similar. The better you are, the more evident their differences become.

Once 2 years ago , back in beta I think.

The difference between the Thralls heroically depend on the energy team

Ranged heavy team? Sundering
Melee heavy team? Earthquake

I distinctively remember TLV being free since I started playing 8 months ago.

>he fell for the stats on abathur meme

Auriel is fucking BUSTED and nobody ever talks about it!

Why doesn't anybody but me care?

She's pretty much entirely reliant on her team to do anything.

Just kill the carry bro!
Just stunlock burst people because she has no cleanse bro!
Just outsustain her AoE heal bro!

kill her energy battery

She's shit whenever I see her.

>lunara's "mount" is her passive movespeed
>lunara's trait is her poison
>rehgar's trait is his "mount"
im extremely bothered by this

Also his lunge at a target that gives 75% more damage to his AA

What's wrong with pyroblast is the one frame window between the blast exploding and damage being dealt, allowing many teleporting or dashing characters to escape its wrath.
Protection, Invulnerability, and Stasis are proper counterplays and perfectly acceptable.

Guys, what is going on? Is match maker kill?

Where is the Support Love?

Post pics of any support!

is that a boy or a girl?

Because she is only going to perform well if the team has a mage to act as her battery
Girl

This happen in a rank game

I'd love some of those portrait frames as desktop avatars

>a teammate says he'll pick a good support against them
>picks uther

what heroes are good batteries besides guldan

Lunara, kt, valla, cassia

SALAMI man
