Where the FUCK is Maiev????

Regen master + Stoneskin on Sgt. Hammer is underrated

I tried that unusual talent path in Braxis Holdout because we had no support and I couldn't siege that much vs their comp and it worked out so well

Regen master gives +500 base hp and has good synergy with Stoneskin plus I completed the quest pretty fast with the regen orb altars

how to xul effectively?
also on which maps should i completely avoid him??

It's very good, as is the Armor on stun/root at level 1. Both have a place and are great.

LOL

Good maps: Spider Queen, Blackhearts, Braxis, Dragon Shrine, Sky temple

BAD maps: the rest

Pick him on BHB, clear top two lanes, have the rest of the team push bot and do camps. He also works well with Maiev

Add infernal shrine

Float between two lanes, summon skeletals, leave for next lane, repeat

Where the fuck IS Maiev?

Works well on smaller maps or maps with two lanes close to each other

You just rotate between two lanes and push as hard as you can while the rest of your team deathballs and does objectives

>other thread got pruned
>see this thread
>mfw
the early bird gets the /trash/

Probably until tomorrow because waifulads are axed

>tfw no friend to do Malthael's Bargain

You have no face? Just like you have no friends.

Just /join Veeky Forums in the chat and see if anyones around to play with.
Alternativly join the general chat and simply ask if there is any AI grinds going like me and do 15 beginner AI games as a group of 5 randoms, shits fast and easy.

>Lucio and tassadar on the enemy team
>[protected] has no cooldown
Lovely

WHERE THE FUCK IS MAIEV?????

WHY IS MY CAPS LOCK BROKEN?!

>lucio on enemy team
free win right there

BECAUSE YOU JERK OFF TO MUCH

>Lucio on the enemy team
>constantly lets his whole team rotate fast as shit and deathball the living hell out of us

speed boost > healing

>he doesn't speed boost his deathball in and then switch to heals for fights
>he doesn't switch back to speed boost to boost a ganking assassin around back of the team fight to pew pew the enemy squishies

Tyrande is a cute

>necromancer next week for D3
>same day as hero on ptr for Heroes
>69th hero
Who will it be boys

This

Post more silly webms

>PTR for new hero next week

I doubt it, next week is summer event and malth dropping to 10k

will probably be the week after

>end up game with 64% siege damage, 55% hero damage as malthael
>top xp 0 deaths, 4-5 everyone else
>get called a carried bitch by a 4-man premade
how do these people exist

>posting it again

Are you going to keep posting this shit no one cares about next thread aswell?

Raynor rework fucking when?

>No summer beach ball Cassia skin

>not Olympic javelin thrower skin

Not with that attack range!

What's there to tweak? He's baby's first moba character.

I sort of lost interest when I realized that Leoric's Phantom is just a recolor of Malthael's Phantom.
We don't even get a portrait or anything.

They're starting to catch on dudes. Is the Caldeum freelo train going to run out of steam?

5 cute facts about abathur:

- He's a slug!
- He's not useless!
- I love him!!!!!
- Abathur!!!!!!!!!

>Waitin' for buffs.

>end up game with 64% siege damage, 55% hero damage as malthael

That's 4 you fucking spacker.

woah
bloody qm

buffs when?!?!

>Love useful for Swarm.
>Keep lesser Zerg in check.
>Strong devotion to Swarm leader suppresses natural base feral instinct. >Without love swarm feral and without purpose.

She looks surprised to have been banned.

>Should I even be here

elves are for lewd

I just lost to a team in which a guy playing Vikings kept them all together at all times. He killed me more than once
Time to fucking kill myself.

If he was collecting regen globes like crazy, that's a solid strat.

>dying to vikings

Nothing in today's update? I thought we get stuff tuesdays.

>be malthael in HL
>do 147k damage in 20 mins
>lose because cant pick a target to burst
I was doing so well with him too 9-1 now.

Sometimes you just get uncarriable shitters but man that one felt horrible.

i swear to god there are people in diamond that don't even know what half of the heroes do

They're quick match tards what do you expect. The only decent players play unranked or team league

>4v5 """"deathball"""""
if that's all xul does why not just play autismodan

Life has many doors Edboy

>They're quick match tards what do you expect.
knowing what commonly played heroes do isn't much to ask of anyone but then again this is a moba in 2017.

>Dehaka free week
>Play him for the first time
>Slaughter everything

This hero is fucking retardedly good, he has way too much going for him, I've been on the receiving end, but being in the driver seat is crazy, this hero is ridiculous

the heal aura is literal useless garbage when amp it up isn't active, never not be in speedmode unless you are currently amping or your whole team is just standing still hitting a camp or a building

...

>it's a team throws the lead and gambles the boss only to get wiped and lose the game episode

>7k shards and still too jew to craft anything

get the abby announcer.

how do you build edgy reaper man
is full Q the best build, or a mix between Q and his trait

Save them for summer.

why does dva even have a mech bar

why does blizzard pretend she isn't able to ALWAYS summon her mech and basically never fucking die because her bar fills in about half a second?

just give her mech a 2s CD after exploding, literally the same result

...

Just cc her bro

The green jew is the best announcer there is, why would I craft the meme slug?

Why is every single Overwatch hero except Zarya without fail way too fucking mobile for the game and usually overpowered as shit too?

Like why is there this extremely small subset of heroes that just gets to play by their rules? Because they're "unique"? Why not have Warcraft heroes get gear that makes them stronger per level and per boss because they're from Warcraft? Why not have Starcraft heroes research upgrades at Forts that make them stronger? Why not have Diablo heroes become stronger by grinding items?

Why are Overwatch heroes so fucking special, it feels like Blizzard wants to shove them down your fucking throats.
I liked Overwatch before but this game is giving me nothing but pure fucking hatred against that game.

oh shit, i didn't even think about trying that.

Why do all Varian and Sonya players suck tremendous dick? It scrambles my fucking brain because they are both incredibly easy to use heroes but people keep diving into losing fights like it's their job.

...

WELL YOU'D WIN IF YOU FOLLOWED THEM TO YOUR DEATHS

The only thing I wish they'd change about D.va is making pilot mode kills worth 100% XP.

>why is everyone shit why am I stuck in gold
post your winrate with them or shut the hell up

Holy shit do not let any team get both malthael and genji. The chase and pure dmg is fucking ridiculous

I think something like 75% for both would be fine too.

Reduced XP for Vikings and Murky is fine, they're relatively easy to kill. Reduced XP for an incredibly tough tank that just turns into an assassin instead of dying? Yeah fuck off.

If you can't kill dva as she is self destructing your shit

I like how that Chromie desperately tries to fight it.

Stop projecting Pedro.

My shit what?
Finish your sentences user.

I want to get good at Medivh but it is so fucking depressing when I don't do well because I know I was probably an active hindrance to my team.

>first pick enemy kerrigan
>team goes kael and valla
>blames me for not pinging map when there is a watch tower and she kills them
really makes me think

Look at this Nova

Medivh is only as good as his teammates.

Sure a well played one will be really good regardless, but if nobody takes your portals or utilizes your shield, you're just playing a shitty stealther.

I played with one the other day who topped everything, it was very impressive.

nice, you managed to lose even once against AI

How does Chromie manage to be the most boring hero to play and the most boring hero to play against at the same time?

She's like a singularity of boredom.

Nice you only played one game as Sonya.

at 1 you take wraith strike range or sprint

at 13 you pick whichever defensive talent is best for the current game of course. ethereal existence is the best in general but of course it's shit if the enemy is 3 mages

Every time I do it makes me laugh

>winrateposting
only worthwhile if you are actually in master

a silver surfer with an 80% winrate on a hero just means that is the one hero they can play at a gold or diamond level

On a scale from 1 to 10, how skillfull do I need to be to complete "The Master's Touch"?

holy shit i just took On a Pale Horse on Warhead Junction and was surprised at how fucking good that talent is there. Would do again.

>Or Sprint
>Ever taking Fear the Bronzie
>Q Slow
>MEMEnto Mori

Don't talk to me or my Archangel of Death ever again.

you dont need skill you just need decisionmaking

medivh is one of the most survivable heroes in the game with FoW + portal, just don't overextend or get greedy diving for kills

Depends on how cautious you are versus how much the enemy focuses you.
