Every hero I dont like is unfun and broken!

UNFUN & BROKEN!

Xth for Naxxramas hero/map when

>*slaps your fort with my 12 ft futa cock*
MAMA LIKES!

It's a new thread, can we let this broken discussion just die, please?

Winston being an asshole when

I'M GOING TO BURN OUT THE ENTIRE THREAD COMPLAINING ABOUT GENJI BECAUSE HE JUST BEAT ME IN A MATCH AND NOW I HAVE TO SHIT POST ABOUT IT CONSTANTLY!

So Genji is basically the Slark of HotS?

>tfw 2 starcraft maps
>tfw 2 diablo maps
>tfw an overwatch map
>tfw no warcraft maps, just a bunch of generic fantasy ones that are close enough to things in warcraft to pass
>tfw no rock n roll racing map

that is thaddius you uncultured swine.

No, Genji is actually OP

>Last pick
>Enemy team doesn't pick any hard CC
>Pick Chen
>Put youtube.com/watch?v=1waVSu4adDM on full blast

We might get Black Temple or some Legion based stuff, Wotlk is kinda ded

Worse, he's like Sniper except he's the bullet

Anub, Genji, Uther, Dehaka, Malfurion, Greymane currently have over 80% pick/ban in "competitive" HOTS

Slark isn't picked/banned that much

>That inn music
Good taste user.

>we got an Overwatch map before a Warcraft one
I just don't get it.

delet

But what if then win?

That was one of only really good parts of Pandaria.
Also Pandarens were less fat before game release.

>Alterac Valley would be the perfect WoW HotS map.
>Blizzard will do something lame related to the newest WoW expansion instead.

I need u Maiev

>That was one of only really good parts of Pandaria.
>Implying Pandaria wasn't one of the best expansions there was

Where the fuck is Mengsk?!

Lune when?

I got to play Chen into a no stun team and stand around being fucking invincible

The match outcome doesn't matter, I already won

>Vanilla 3 and a half hours OST
>TBC 9 hours
>Wrath also 9 hours
>Cata 1.5 hours
>Pandaria 1.5 hours
>Draenor 2 hours
>Legion 5 hours

FUCKING LAZY BASTARDS ALL OF THEM

Sorry user, gotta side with on this one.

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

He's dead, Jimmy boy.

>IN-DEVELOPMENT: MEI, ASHRAN, NEW SKINS, MASTERY EMOTES, AND MUCH MORE

>hl queues take 1 million years
>can't even open loot boxes in these insanely long queues
why?

Oh really,what was so good about it?
All we got was unfinished Thunder King buildup and Nazi Garrosh for a year.
Leveling and insectoid raid was bretty gud though.

what sort of abilities would deckard cain have?

>town portal, open a permanent portal to and from town for aggressive trading in lane
>diablo 2 fireball

First time Blizzard came up with original Warcraft lore in 10 years, and it was actually really creative. 5.2 was one of the best patches and the best raid since Ulduar. SoO was great before the 13 months we played it for, and Monk was really fun, fistweaving especially. Timeless Isle is one of the most entertaining post-expac launch hubs to ever come out, on-par with 2.4's Quel'Danas. Expansion launched with multiple raids as well, all taking place in different environments, yet none of them took too long, and all had interesting and fun mechanics to them.

I'd say the only expansion that topped MoP in encounter design is Pre-6.2 WoD,
because BRF was amazing.

How do I make Cassia work?

>MoP
>one of the best
>when it's even worse than the current one

HFC was pretty good too
the only reason people hate it is literally the same reason why people hate SoO

>BRF was amazing
Bitch please. Hand of A'dal or go back to high school.
I bet you didnt even use luffa on Moroes

>Timegates & RNG grindfest: the expansion.
>Better than anything.

Shouldn't you be grinding artifact power or something?

slark is the hero that dota's equivalent of bronzies complain about being OP
used to be riki, dunno when it changed

>lose because malth took the shitty reaper of souls level 20 instead of RESPAWN INSTANTLY and they get the last few skeletons at shrine on our lane with no keep

>Implying I didn't play WoW in Vanilla for a few months before TBC launched

>playing Butcher
>press the key that makes your character say their voice line
>FOR THERAMORE

Will they ever fix this shit?
It happens with many other characters too; Tychus will always say his BAD BAD MAN line regardless of which one I have in my loadout.

what do you mean how do you make cassia work she's super simple
stand on the front line
be tanky
constantly poke with q and autoattacks
move whenever you are not attacking because your trait only works if you move
blind people who need to be blinded, or just use it to do more damage
use Fend to finish people off

How do I Malthael? Q build? Passive Build? Do I ever want Last Rites? Why are almost all of his level 20 talents so boring?

I just liked the general theme of the expansion. I'm quite a sucker for ancient Chinese things. I found the Mantid to be an interesting race as they were these typical bug creatures but with an advanced society. Take the Paragons for instance, they are all Mantid champions that were later incased in amber to be released when the Queen doesn't do her job properly. The Mogu was also pretty cool to dig into, especially Lei Shen.

Other than lore the patch content was good (compared to WoD at least). ToT gave us an entire Island to explore along with the huge raid. SoO gave us The Timeless Isle that was quite a fun playing ground to muck about in. And they made it so that professions such as BS wasn't completely useless after the initial launch of the expansion.

Though, I must admit that SoO lasted for way too long. I got so sick of MoP for that year. But looking back the expansion was a very enjoyable experience as a whole.

Comfy filler or comfiest filler event music

Fucking this. Legion was great at Launch, then when you realized that 5 man dungeons could give you loot almost as good as Mythic raiding gear the game lost all of its joy.

Anything is good when compared to WoD, also content patches were kinda...unfinished?
Whole expansion needed maybe 30% more content to be complete, like extra patches to build up Thunder King and such.

I see where you're coming from. Besides maybe a single quest, small, quest line Lei Shen kinda came out of nowhere.

Stop using Twin Blades

that's the greatest thing to happen to wow in 3 expansions
not my problem you think you have to grind like a neet

Where can I watch a replay of a pro player game

I want to see the autism

Same goes with Garrosh, they shoehorned him in because people werent buying Lei Shen.
Whole expansion needed a clear antagonist with a face imo, like having some named Mogu actively trying to resurrect Shen and such.

Its not grinding in the good way like it used to be with TBC raids and heroics and such. Its literally having lucky box mechanic on top of standard item drops.
Go on Twitch and see that tournament that just ended?

...

>team has very little stun
>varian goes twin blade
>enemies just walk away
I'm sure he never even reflected on his decision

>there is an alternate universe where I'm in a lesbian relationship with tyrande

>Sir Murkalot and Blood Raven Sylvanas are epic skins
Aren't those shitty skins that only alter model supposed to be Rare?

>there is alt universe where Malf and Illidan are female siblings with feminine penises in lesbian relationship

>check the names of all these malthael players
>tortured_soulXX
>D34THPR0PH3T
>shadowkilla666

like the aatrox of hots

Oni Genji is also Epic but doesn't change anything.

Bredafuria when?

how the fuck am i meant to do this

>pro esports team is named SOUL TORTURERS

Its piss easy,git gud

>first pro game I look at
>genji not banned
I WAS LIED TO

They torture themselves by playing this game.

>walk up to enemies
>press q
????

well, let's think about what he's known for

-identifying items
-horadric cube
-driving the narrative and advising the pc's

that's the Cain I know from Diablo 2 anyway, i've never played D3 so i don't know if he goes on to do more stuff, like combat or something, in there

anyway with that in mind I will harken back to a suggestion i read on here before. one user said his gameplay could be centered around the horadric cube. that got me thinking, how would they accomplish that? then I realized, they can just base him on Invoker. your QWE all act as "components," your ultimate is invoke which is different based on which components you have, and then your passive is your invoked spell.

i only get stacks of it when i hit people who are already slimed with slime again which i find nearly impossible to do without toxic buildup or the one that makes your pufferfish cast slime

What hero is best if I want to play an irredeemable fun-deleting splitpushing rat

could be worse, could be a regen globe quest

>get put in the team fighting for the Grave Keeper
>get out shit slapped
>get put in the team fighting for the Angel
>get our shit slapped

Every time.

I mean AP. I also didn't really mind the loot that you get from M+ scaling to the max ilv, since it's so unreliable that you're going to end up getting almost everything from raid anyway. The biggest problem is the legendary system, but since no one is going to accept Blizz taking they +% dmg toys, I doubt they could fix it.
I don't actually play anymore (stopped a few weeks after the elf raid launched), so maybe things got worse

azmodan
zagara
xul
gazload
dehaka
samuro
sgt. hammer

honorable mention to sylv

bruisers/fighters can work but need that map awareness to know when more than two people are coming to kill you

honorable choice: sylvanas

dishonorable choice: azmodan

meme level: vikings

autistic cancer level: gazlowe

Probably vikings

The rest of the split pushers all have their drawbacks but vikinsg can literally solo the game

Q build Malthael is too strong

why is it so fucking hard for people to right-click an immortal

someone please tell me, because I cannot for the life of me understand this

People are garbage at objectives in general.

all you have to do is right click it though, it's the same thing you do to move around.

Because the middle is filled with team fights.
Plus after one of the Immortals hits the half health point the switch, actively ENCOURAGING a team fight.

On the plus side, winning that Team fight ensures your team winning the Immortal fight.

>haunted mines
>team leaves to kill skull boys while other team pushes and takes every camp

>buy one of the unraveller zeratul skins
"hey this is pretty cool"
>open a loot chest right after
>ara executor zeratul

fucking blizzard REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>do placement games
>2 of the games the support goes afk and then starts feeding
>6 more games to go
holy shit I can't stand this

Supports are just not fun to play. I don't blame them for afking when they start to lose

>he doesn't enjoy playing master 'mash q fast' Lili
Scrub

>Supports are just not fun to play.

You're just playing the wrong supports, my man.

>"How DARE you?!"

Its more about stat padding trait's damage on Diablo and D.Va senpai

True I do think lucio has some skillful plays possible. I was triggered as fuck when he interrupted my ult with his boop. That was bullshit and I had no idea he had a ministun

The rest of the supports I hate because you have to play like a pussy (except for maybe uther)

cursed hollow we were even levels and they just got the 2nd trib it was 2 tribs to 2, the hanamura he wanted to do some strat of everyone pushing bot lane then when we had someone top he just kept suiciding then complaining about not doing the 5 push strat then went afk and started feeding to the healing camp

What skins would you like to see for Mercy once she is added to the game?

And remember, nothing lewd. Angela is not for sexuals.

Oh god not another morales character

>tfw spaming hearthstone as 4 enemies kill me after taking 2 forts

DO WHAT YOU WILL, THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE
