first for panda

overwatch needs all of its maps removed, they're so garbagely designed it's not funny.

...

I would do so much better with Vikings and Samuro if only HotS had a control scheme like DotA where you can control-click and all your illusions will follow your orders.

I never play RTS specifically because I'm absolute trash at any kind of micro whatsoever

Shift click does this

Dunno senpai, besides the German payload map (the castle one, dunno what it's called) and second point on VI I find the OW maps to be pretty great besides KotH maps besides Oasis, they're fucking cancer

illidan is out there somewhere

Is there a more punchable hero than LiLi?

This is your Demon Hunter for the match.
Say something nice to her, /hotsg/

all the payload/capture point maps are super focused on shitty chokepoint after shitty chokepoint, not enough options for how to approach something

>adult roastie lili

you look like a horse

very sexy voice, not as good as lacey chabert circa lost in space

demon hunter
more like
semen hunter

Help me I can't decide.
Zeratul or Alarak?

Abathur buffs when

Serve your highlord

The question is, Laura or Tara?

Arcturus Mengsk announcer when?!

Alarak because teammates will take advantage of you pulling someone into them easier than you void prisoning their team

The fuck is a Roastie?

Oh sweet summer child.

>when you are chained and havent met your daily semen quota and are about to be punished for failing to produce for her

Lunara

dva.

>Lunara will never laugh at your tiny cock and ask if it's in yet

when a cunny is all blown out and disgusting like a roast beef sandwich

does she have a front vagina or a back vagina?

hopefully never

he's too good to be in this game

Holy shit Arthas got so much better when I started aiming my root where the enemy was going to be rather than where they are, what the fuck?

>using cunny wrong

can't wait to be super edgy on release day
youtube.com/watch?v=EtPDm2kaj1c

Not this b8 again

best girl

who the fuck cuts open bread like this

How long until Malthiel gets nerfed!

I'll give it 2 weeks.

He's not even that good on paper, far weaker than Tychus who is both ranged and also weak.

>no dick

>Summer

Sorry I don't follow black twitter meme lingo. And I've probably been here longer than you have, bub.

you're trying too hard

>Nerfed Tychus even though he was bad before
>NOW HE'S REAL BAD

>Nerfed D.Va even though she was okay
>NOW SHE'S AWFUL

Blizzard nerfs for the fucking sake of it. Kiss that bulge goodbye Tychus.
They're already bitching about that stogie in his swimwear. KEK

11 inches

DSFARGEG

Full pic, please?

How do you play muradin?

I like Perfect Storm Skull Cracker and Give em the Axe Turns him into a Fucking killing machine.

It's not even from twitter you backwards-thinking troglodyte, it's the new hip maymay from /r9k/

>not 12
Oh well

I think any time I get queued with a 4-stack on my team I'm just going to automatically throw or d/c.

There is absolutely nothing you can do to avoid being the scapegoat for when their idiotic calls go completely wrong.

dreadlord when?

>new

Jaina is already in the game

Oh you're right, I see it on facebook too much for it to be new.

People bitch about everything.

But on the actual Blizz forums, that (was/is) the most popular post on the forum as of recent.

>using jewbook

even in Warcraft 3 they suck ass
the sleep ability would be nice though

>People bitch about male oversexualisation as well now
Now I wonder if the whole feminism thing was overblown and we're actually going back to full puritan mode instead

>vampirism aura for the creeps
>carrion swarm waveclear
>infernal big dick push nuke
>sleep cc as the fuck off mechanism
Would make for a 10/10 specialist tbqh

That's why we'll never get one, or he'll be unrecognizable, the way Arthas is compared to the WC3 Death Knight.

I just want Unholy Aura

Yeah and Uther should have a Devotion Aura.

>heroes being the same in a game where they fight alongside an army of units and in a game where they fight in teams of 5

>implying auras wouldn't help heroes
Who's Lucio?

>implying auras would only help heroes
What are minions and mercs?

holy shit I just played the most retarded hero league for my last placement match. It was Hanamura (of course) and this guy insisted on 5 stacking a lane and pushing nonstop despite there being 2 (two) of our payloads spawned and untouched.

we lost 7-0

It takes some coordination, but it's actually a legit strat. He's a moron for suggesting it in HL though. That's definitely a TL thing.

>Malthael
>almost all damage %of max health
yeah this is getting nerfed.

There is no way blizzard will allow people to have fun for a reasonable amount of time

and that was my exact response, I figured with how retarded hanamura is there would be some retarded meme strat but trying to coordinate that in solo queue just doesn't work

>tank babby

>2.5% max hp per second is op
t. shitter

whoever helps us fight the cancerous double tank meta is welcome

It's very, very, VERY slow damage

For reference, Tychus does 48% HP in s seconds with his trait, Malthael is only 10% over 4.

Slower damage than Lunara poison.

lads i hope it stays, I hate the tank meta, I just don't think blizzard will let it stick.

Amen

>Valla doesn't have a-

His Q/E are either going to need to be a super low cd or the q/e are going to need to be really high damage in order for that hero to be any good honestly

turn it 90 degrees

A what?

I know his CDs are super low, but I think E is his highest CD which really limits his ability to harass.

>I know his CDs are super low
I thought the only information was just how they work and his talents?

>I know his CDs are super low
Spill the beans

>implying its not bait

Where the FUCK is Maiev?!

>wanting worst elf in the game

user........

A dick

Read his talents, quest buffs duration to 6 seconds and late talent doubles DOT damage after 4 seconds.

He deals around 50% in pure DOT with 1 auto -> teleport.

It can be inferred by his talents and comparing to other similar heroes what his CDs will be.

He has a talent that gives him 0.5sec CDR on his Q, which implies the base CD is under 4 seconds or else ti would be a completely wasted talent. W and E don't have any CDR talents which imply they are low but not that low.

His Q can be compared to Empower Sulfuras, which is 4 seconds. AOE, requires setup, slight AOE heal and damage. It will likely be 2 or 3 seconds.

His W has no CDR talents, which mean it's likely low enough of a CD where if it was much shorter he'd be ultra cancerous to deal with, so I'm guessing 3-6 seconds to be close enough to his trait duration to allow 100% uptime if played properly.

His E has a Quest talent that decreases it's CD by 2 seconds on completion, which would mean this needs to be a pretty impactful decrease to justify a talent being dedicated to it without any other benefits while doing the quest. I'm guessing it will be 6-10 seconds, also to allow synergy with his trait and is comparable to Murky's slime debuff and Lunara's poison.

He also has no talents affecting costs of abilities, which would imply that he will either be extremely mana hungry or he will have NO resource.

That's my two cents with no inside knowledge at all.

Assuming the teleport is done near the end of the initial mark, yeah.

never getting implemented because of a certain someones skin

Over the course of 12(!) seconds though. That's a decent amount of time to wait. I do see a playstyle focused around landing a multiple person E, teleporting in near the end of the mark, and casting the AOE ult though for some pretty decent AOE damage. But this is all just hopeful theorycrafting

Next hero is definitely a Warcraft one, so chances are slightly higher.

malfurion got betrayer skin
illidan got shan do skin
tyrande got warden skin
maiev will get...

priestess of elune skin

>warcraft
Next hero will be from Destiny
Dummy

I can't wait for them to do another AU set that's Warden Illidan, Betrayer Tyrande, Druid Maiev and Priest Malfurion.

Redpill me on Valla. Do I build multi-shot or autoattack?

in 8 different color variations

AA and Q

can the enemy team jump on you? multishot
can you autoattack without being blown up? the other one

Last Rites doesn't really look that great.
