How do I break into the 400-500 range like the big boy Azmos and drop fat ass globes?

>vocaroo.com/i/s1KlhXZ7sS8f
Fucking kek

Hi I don't want more thanks

It's extremely inefficient to do it on your own. You need a teammate to set up the stacks for you.

doesn't it go from 8 to 6 seconds with quest completion? which is still a little too long to maintain it by purely poke with your E with the 16 quest
i guess you probably dont purely poke though

Go for the hero hitting quest unless you have a friend setting up the waves for you to dunk.

The E talent at 20 increases it's duration slightly enough so that it almost has 100% uptime.

I also take W range at 1 which helps keep the trait up on people if there happens to be downtime.

So unless Im laning will Jaina or Guldan, dont bother? Makes sense.

what teammates would you suggest?

What heroes can I counter Azmodan with?

Seems like on many maps you can win all the objectives, but then you look up and his global minions have dropped as many, or more forts that the objective netted you.

But you can't go stop his minions, because then you lose the obj...

not just laning with, they have to actually put effort into cooperating with you

once you hit 10 you just oneshot waves with black pool so you don't need help anymore

need help to start early. should still be able to get enough solo to where using black pool is a full clear at 10 though.

probably better to follow someone with modest aoe like valeera or muradin who won't ruin you entirely in between cooldowns.

anyone with a brain works but if you are just playing casually it's easier just to avoid the kaels and jainas blasting shit on you rather than argue with them.

Johanna

How will Cho'gall ever recover from this?

Inb4 Cho'Gall gets special treatment and his healthbar counts as 200% health when full

Working on some love godess Tyrande for that one guy who requested it

god bless you

You're a fucking god.

Why is she doing the doctor evil?

white skin version or nah?

kek

>jojo + cassia against a team that only does damage with autoattacks
qm is retarded, huh

You will still lose

Are you gay?

we already won
killed their core at level 13 with the second zerg wave

thats the version i use cus i got it in a chest and its hot af man
that whistle when she uses her stun is a recording of me when i see her booty

Why do people act like matchmaking is or should be super intelligent to the point where it can see which heroes use AA or abilities? Blizzard have said multiple times how matchmaking works and yet retards still don't understand it.

please, ANYONE reply and I'll read your post in dehaka's voice
here's another sample: clyp.it/idso4tyx

It's not the Johanna + Cassia that wrecks their team, it's that they can't get past the Johanna + Probius wall before KT dishes out magic damage out the ass on the melee team. Bet KT got the MVP unless he died excessively like an idiot.

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

I'm worried about the worthless Butchers who charge into every fight and never finish their meat by lv 20.

How's the win ratio and the viability of this delicious Elf on GM?

What about competitive pro scene?

You don't even see her in Diamond/Masters, I can't imagine GM would be any different.

that was a really fucking hard line to record, but here you go: clyp.it/k031ejhb
any other requests?

this one

How do I git gud at dva?

good

dont play her

Thanks, voicefag. How about one of the classics with a variation of 'your waifu is shit'? "Your waifu... has inferior essence."

>tfw Jaina didn't get any new skins despite the fact that she is quite evidently best girl

>clyp.it/k031ejhb
bretty good, bud

Just because she is an anal slut, doesn't mean she is the best

She's not a slut of any kind user, all she ever wanted to do was study.

Study dicks

He's pretty easy to beat in a straight up fight. His health pool makes him look intimidating, but he doesn't have any good defensive talents.

Can you guys see the invis shimmers in this webm?
A few threads back, somebody was complaining about how they just can't see the shimmers no matter what and that still screenshots weren't helpful so I've been trying to get some good shots of moving shimmers and hitting them out of invis for the next guy who complains about them. I can sort of make out a shimmer but that's because I know it's there, doesn't really mean a stranger would be able to see it, and this is the best I can get at like 4kb/s bitrate. I play the game on max settings and can't really do better for graphics quality so I'm hoping this is good enough.

Can you guys make out the shimmer? Would you say this a good example on what to look for?

Only if you have a stun of some kind, otherwise he can melt any non tank with his meme beam.

I can see the shimmers but they are very faint
change your settings

Change it to what?

Oh, yes.

>she went Thornwood
I don't know about this.

Can definitely see it. Just don't ask me to hit it with a snapshot, it's not to easy to pinpoint

>tfw 87.5% win rate as Murky

Why is this little faggot so amazing?

I can barely see them, and only after the webm had played already.
It might be partly because of the map; I have no trouble spotting shimmers in bright maps like Hanamura or Sky Temple, but I struggle in darker maps like Cursed Hollow or Tomb of the Spider Queen.

shadows I think? mess around with them

Thanks m8

I can see the shimmer but when I was playing on my last dying machine I had to play on low settings so the shimmers where border line unseeable

here you go: clyp.it/renn32qa

took a little bit to try and come up with a matching line, but here you go, user, hope it's alright: clyp.it/onpq5auc

thanks man

tell me your secrets

...

Alarak is literally the man I want to be

>When you want to be top shieldbot, but your dad won't let you.

>waifu sound
Cheers, voicefag, that was sweet

These are my in-game settings.

I don't know what I'd change them to.

It's the opposite for me. Light maps like Sky Temple and Hanamura make it so hard for me track them if they don't walk through a dark patch like the temples or the grass. I prefer maps with darker elements.

Is the webm worse or better than when you were on low settings?

Webm is a little too short, you reveal them and then its like well now I know where I should be glancing
Someone's gonna say "but real games are the same" and they're not, because I would have been scanning for the shimmers the last 10 seconds and therefore known where not to look in the webm

Always be moving your egg, but never get too ballsy with it.
Unless you're co-ordinated with your whole team, get March of the Murlocs.
If you want to have fun, get endless March, otherwise get the one that makes you huge.
His level 1 and 4 talents are shit, but the bribe and Living the Dream are by far his best.
Prioritize living over doing damage.
You're useless until 10/14, focus on pushing and getting merc camps until then.
Avoid ranged heroes like the plague.
If you get March of the Murlocs, use it any time there's a massive teamfight or an object you need to protect. Bonus points if you're behind your entire team and in a safe area.

i like full slime build
4, 7, 16, 20
also the regen on e feels a shit ton worse than 75 physical armor, but obviously some games you have to take it

graphics on low effects on high and if that doesn't work everything low is your best bet

Because in every Moba thing where killing the core is the ultimate victory condition splitpushing will always be king
>super exciting teamfight
>hurrrr i attack keep

>hurrrr i attack keep
>rotating down for the next objective spawn engaging in lite skirmish along the way
>hurrr i attack keep
>"holy fuck [splitpusher] we need you to fight a least once"
>hurrr i attack keep
But I mean fuck it, it's what wins you games

thanks bros

better, it actually has shadows and particles

yeah physical armor is OP as fuck if you can get away with it but sometimes the enemy team just has too much spell damage for you to survive without the heal

Daily reminder that there is LITERALLY nothing wrong with going Twin Memes Varian if the enemy team has no blinds.

This is it for now. I'll shade it when i wake up.

imgur.com/a/ol7zo

and your team already has a tank
(not all warriors count as tanks)

>tfw while there was a 90 second long teamfight on an objective, our murky 100-0'd the enemy keep with endless march

That unlikely event single-handedly convinced me to go march every map

holy fuck

I just finished zarathustra and it was pretty shit.
How about "I teach you the overzerg. Zerg is something that shall be overcome. What have you done to overcome them?"

So I changed my waifu from Li-Ming to Sylvanas.

Did I upgrade or downgrade?

Fairly decent, and then they gutted her.
Zeratul or bust.

downgrade. sylfaggots are only a step above lilifags.

>YOU DARE CHALLENGE THE HIGHLORD
>MFW I AM AT 600 DAMAGE

why do I never see vikings in HL anymore? are they not good?

Need a brain image for this.
Best waifus are Valla and Ming. You fucked up.

Abathur buffs when

Will there be a final version without the drippings as well?
