too soon?

What exactly is Misha doing

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

She wants some honey

>Wanting a character that played like a clunky, shit Zeratul
Just settle for these sicc skins, loser

Her best

where are the hot pictures of tyrande?

>Get an Epic skin from a chest
>It's one of the Oni Genji tints

Why is Oni Genji considered an Epic if it doesn't change any effects/voice? It's basically a glorified Rare if anything.

in hell i hope

shoo shoo blizz jew

Same reason Desert Queen Zagara is Legendary.

>when your Gul'dan and ETC land their ults just right
I guess Genji is like Tracer where he's a stellar pick when the enemy has no cc and okay/mediocre otherwise.

Which is what?

That Blizzard just wants to jew you.

Pretty much. I can't begin to count the number of times I've died as Genji by getting chain CC'd.

>playing Abaturd in 2017
lmao

Ganji is always a good pick, you just have to be good with him.

He a shit pick if you are solo lane and any hero with cc can fuck him if he gets too close. Unless the enemy is low you can be a bit more daring.

Unless they are 100-0 you when you jump in (meaning you are jumping into the middle of their team), you shouldn't be having problems with CC because of your mobility

He is a really safe hero but he pretty much does nothing besides catching someone who is near death.

Being Illidan is suffering

>there are people who don't give point in the end screen
DO IT
JUST DO IT

Taunt mode Varian counters and deletes literally every OW hero into complete irrelevance. In fact he almost makes them detrimental to your team.

Arthas is such a fun pick

yeah
nah

sometimes cancer turns out to be the chemo

>playing Butcher in QuickMeme
>enemy team has TLV
>enemy team also has Varian

lmao

>Undead Mines

Wat

FRESH MEAT

i always throw a vote to someone who isn't mvp to make them think that someone out there thinks that they were useful, in order to maybe get them to perform acceptable in the next match if i get matched with them.

how autistic is this

post webm/share replay or i don't believe you

mixtape.moe/

I have 40 boxes saved up of varying quality.

Even if there are summer lootboxes for the summer skins I'll be able to spam lootboxes to get the new non-summer skins.

Your action is pretty nice but the reasoning behind it IS pretty autistic.

Like 7/10, but it's kind.

That's not true at all

I open boxes until I get a stimpack, save until it expires, and repeat. It's the most efficient use of my time that I've found.

don't get me wrong, im not trying to be nice in the slightest, just taking every chance i can to maybe get a non retard on my team in the future

i play in double digit grandmaster so its pretty usual to see same players 3 games in a row

Is positive reinforcement really considered autistic now?

When round's done, but I don't have any recording stuff because I only have a toaster.

Just share the replay and timestamp the event in your post then

>im not trying to be nice in the slightest, just taking every chance i can to maybe get a non retard on my team in the future
In that case you can go fuck a power drill, autist.

I usually throw the vote to someone who made sick plays (for example managed to save my ass in the most epic way possible) or carried the game the most for example destroyed their forts while we were distracting, but I don't shame giving it also to myself when I played like a boss and carried those shitters alone

If they don't do good stuff and play average they don't deserve the upvote, fuck them

Abathur: 2, 4, 3, 1/2, 3, ?, ?
Diablo: 1, 1, 1/2, 1, 2, 2, 1
Li Li: 2, 3, 2, 1, ?, ?, ?
Muradin: 2, 2, 3, 2, ?, 5, 2
Zarya: 1, 3, 1, 1, 3/4, 2, 1

I'm a level 46 newbie who's maybe halfway to the requirements to play comp. Above are my talent trees for my favourite heroes. Rate em

You can share replays like that? Cool.

whats wrong user? do you like playing with 13 year old children on your team?
>voting for yourself
for what purpose? im genuinely curious. even if you got the mvp and were the best on the team, i still don't get it.

Alright faggots, design a new map with a fun interesting gimmick. Reminder, gimmick =/= overly intense distracting bounce house

Ah never mind, just looked and it wasn't from left of the golem pile but the right. Still went all the way to touch the left of the fort and attacked while shielded. That's pretty fucking far as is and this was level 1 shit.

did you read up on how the "shield" works? its called deflect for a reason

>soloing boss
>enemy team unaware
>ally further down the lane near their base
>enemy team jumps him
>he runs all the way to me at the boss
>discovered, he dies, I die, lose boss

I don't usually rage at games but holy shit.

>voting for myself

Well the thing is I sometimes play so good (compared to everyone else) that there is like absolutely no doubt that I carried that one single game by doing almost everything. So I kinda deserve upvoting myself I would say, how autistic is that?
Of course if someone else did well too I will upvote this person, it's just on some occasions where I can't really imagine someone playing good enough to get upvote but me. When I play average and everyone else plays average I upvote noone.

And I never upvote enemies tho. They don't deserve it.

Does it deflect everything? I'm Li-Ming and I cast a Q at him as he came up then tried Teleporting past him, landed just next to him and got murdered.

I know that feel.

Illidan's too much of a cuck to get groupie sex.

1 shuriken per 1 instance of damage
hit him with 3 missiles, get 3 shurikens
shurikens are fixed damage
dont shoot your laser at him if his deflect is up

Casino based map
Blackheart used all the money you found for him to pen this up.
After a while your team goes to a games section in one part of the map (top/mid/bottom) each section is a different size/shape with a game such as roulette (your hero is your bet on where it will land) winners get a buff or a super minion to push that lane. Could simply be a deathmatch with gates that lock after a timer so late people can't help. Also a slot machine system when you hand in coins that can help/hinder you by mid.

Tell me how much you hate this distracting bounce house

Before 2.0 Blizzard openly said that more requested skins/announcers would arbitrarily be higher in price.

His Deflect is ranged? That's stupid as fuck.

if you're semi serious about the game you should really try mode every hero when they release just to see what their abilities do. maybe even look at the talents to note the power spikes.

>bounce house
They're called moonwalks

>medivh playing horribly all game
>ask him a few questions during the match
>never says anything
>at the end when we lose he speaks up
>"noobs"

Some kind of arena battle. Small map, like with those 2 immortals. In the middle is some kind of arena ring, at some point 15 sec before is announcement that arena is opened. After 15 sec in the middle spawns a flag which can be taken like those camps after you kill the creeps (but there are no creeps, just that field to conquer) which is as big as whole arena, as long as someone stands in the ring from enemy team the conquest bar won't move. This place will take more time to completely fill the bar (let's say if only your team stands in a circle the conquest bar will move from middle to completed in like 15 seconds), after you win the arena some gladiator will stand up and crush their base or something

i still don't see the point. if i didn't do what i did, id just spam exit instead of spamming a random and then exit.

They're called balloon castles.

Death Coliseum. FOUR lanes that lead to an arena when a bell goes off. 1v1,2v2,3v3 etc battles are decided at random and only allows that many heroes on the team to enter before locking the gate, so discussing a comp is optimal instead of blindly walking in. Battles in the Coliseum are the only way to damage the enemy ancient as the death triggers a [creature] locked in with it into attacking it.

The ancient will die at some number of battles

Originally they wanted to make it exactly like Overwatch's version, but they said around the time that they were testing genji "bouncing" flamestrikes or pyroblasts into the enemy team they realized that was a poor decision.
Instead they went with a version that punishes the lots of damage ticks heroes who otherwise go unpunished by most game mechanics.

Is he, dare I say it, /ourboy/?

something something argent tournament, aesthetics please me more than objectives and i would kill for anything wotlk related

Best butcher build?

Hamstring + Furnace

or

Mark + Lamb?

W3 version is a pretty interesting character. Shame what WoW did.

furnace is a noob trap

>furnace
lmao

With a fuckton games on my Butcherlisk I can guarantee you that the furnace is the biggest shit you can imagine

Lamb is an almost guaranteed kill while furnace doesn't even guarantee that you are going to make any damage with it

Furnace is for tickling enemies who were set up to die to your mage anyway.
Lamb is for locking down the annoying fuck or securing a kill against a jungler.

Hamstring + Mark + Lamb + AA

This is my build; it serves me well.

heroesfire.com/hots/talent-calculator/the-butcher#rrPD

i never take flail axe, is the 40% really that helpful? i feel like i get more use out of the other 2

furnace is shit. build aa and lamb, obviously

>Q build on Zarya
Fucking worthless.
Your goal is to be the ultimate cockblock, not some sort of artillery source. Your grenades are shit and do no damage anyway to warrant wasting talent picks for them.

You're an off-support, and an off-tank when you're playing Zarya. Play her as such.

Don't chase people behind waves, don't stand around the frontlines if you're not there to farm energy safely.

heroesfire.com/hots/talent-calculator/the-butcher#gMXg
full hamstring with bolt or bust

Flail works best for me both for clearing minions faster (to get you that 125 meat), and for keeping prey close.

Whoops, missed dehilighting the Q at lv 7.

Also in case you're wondering, Zarya /is/ one of the few heroes where the regen globe quest talent is actually worth it. She's like one of two heroes. I forget who the other is. Definitely not Tass.

Funny how we had similar ideas

>tfw you love for your waifu is so real, the game lets you use her heroic portrait before you even reach lv 15

Explain this atheists

>STILL no Maiev to shit on Illidan babbys

Waifufag died for our sins

>waifu
isn't she a dyke? are you a dyke as well?

>Furnace
No, no, absolutely not.

>calling Tracer your waifu
>when you've fucked Sylvanas so many times she wants to marry you

>annoying shitty voiced dyke

Amazing

>Not using headcannon
>Using shitty jewish writing as canon for your waifu

>your grenades are shit and do no damage anyway

yeah only 450 damage full energy untalented at 20

650 if you can hit the pinpoint accuracy

every 0.5s

>having a broken gaydar
When Tracer's animated character interactions were all about underage boys, hot French sniper ladies, and asexual animals, she was obviously set to be gay from the start.

>waifuing Tracer

is that you Emily?

you're the one with the waifu that was conceived in a jewish mind
no amount of head canon will fix her, she was flawed at birth
not to mention being an chav

>an chav

For some reason I have 1000 premium heroes of the storm currency

should I get 10 loot boxes? maybe craft the slutty kerrigan skin

>not being an chav
>2016

eat an dick
