Where in the flippin HECK is Maiev???

So this will sound bronze as fuck, but is it really possible to reach the 175 stacks with Naz before level 20? Even if I autistically ignore everything and focus only on stacks the max I have around level 20 is 130, and then its useless because by that time I already missed enough team fights and objectives that my team is on the verge of losing.
Any tips?

post heros that remind u of urself

>think medivh looks cool
>10k gold
Wtf?

Who would buy this character over someone like dva, genji or malthael?

It's like blizzard wants to discourage teamplay

>Genji tries to memedash, but you're Chen so you kick him from across the world anyway
>Genji deflects, but you're Chen so you just drink your worries away
>Genji tries to Q you to death, but you're Chen so you smash a Keg on his face and set him on fire before drop-kicking his ass again
>Genji dies, but you're Chen so you just have another drink while everyone still says you're a shit character

>use your abilities on a wave
>mount up
>head to the next lane
>do the same
>mount up
>same
>repeat

it's a lot easier on smaller maps, on shit like cursed hollow and warhead it's fucking impossible

>genji ignores chen
>kills all of chen's teammates
>laughs at chen for being a retard tank who didn't pick cc

Yes. Easily.
Stutter stepping, poisoning all the minions, throwing spiders at minion waves, and so on to make sure you get all 7 stacks from every wave.
Then when the map allows it, you rotate between two close lanes so you can be getting most if not all of every minion wave for your stacks.

You may be fucked on cursed hollow, and warhead it only happens if the game goes stupidly long without any pushing.

...

Basically every hero that's newer than Sylvannas is still 10k gold. Only exception is probably Lunara that had her Gold cost decreased due to her being literally unusable for the first months of her release due to being so undertuned.

It's almost like he's still new enough to be in the top gold bracket.

user you slut! slut!!!

best girl

everyone is entitled to their wrong opinions I suppose.

>broke my second keyboard in a week

I need a new hobby

>tfw you wake up and immediately let your bf cum in your mouth

am i right fellow abathur mains?

shoot me some valla builds, I just can't seem to make it work with her.

tfw noone from VG wants to party for event.

what does the game consider to be "afking"? can I soak with nova and not get kicked out?

>been playing with friends every day since event started
>still at 0/15 games
not my fault diablo heroes are shit

Shut up Kaz.

depends on the hero i think?

i know for a fact that abby is immune as long as his hat is on something, including the core

i also think stealth heroes are immune from my experience.

delet

li ming is good and pure

I can't decide on d.va or medivh

what do

Medivh is more fun than any of them though.

i like li li not because of her casual lewdness, but because i am jealous of her youthful innocence and optimism and long for the days when I had a similar outlook on the world.

Who is this semen demon?

>asian
Bet you're white.you race traitor

>Leoric's Phantom is not a skeletal horse

This is treason of the highest order.

How big is the area for medivhs shield if you go AOE talent. There is no way to see?

list of heroes instapicked on team that mean a guaranteed loss so far for me:
>Kael
especially picked into Valeera+Greymane+Chromie
>Murky
>Nova
>Tyrande
>Lili
>Sonya

What to take for Medivh's level 16 talent?
I know most people take the one that heals but honestly, doesn't it heal a pitiful amount like 90% of the time? Increased duration sounds pretty good.

That's the truth

it's pretty small, somewhere around melee range i think

raynor is usually a loss

abathur is usually a loss

It's pretty small.
Characters don't have to be touching, but it is pretty small. Good if you have a melee team deathball going on I guess.

why do people pick shit they can't play in ranked of all places ?

[spoilers]The insidious jew has revoked all previous immunities to his jewery

taking Pyro instead of the always more viable Zoning tool for team fights.
*smug anime face*

shoo shoo blizz jew

Okay. Three weeks. Did the Malthael Update literally break the game for anyone else? For YEARS I had NO ISSUES With HOTS but now LAG SPIKES UP THE FUCKING ASS IF ANOTHER PLAYER EVEN SHOWS UP. This ONLY STARTED WITH THE MALTHAEL UPDATE. GODDAMNIT I BOUGHT INTO THE BETA AND THIS IS HOW BLIZZ REPAYS ME

Does Stunning Malthael stop tormented souls?

>no lili

...

Cocooning him does. And it runs out the timer on it as well. On the whole, based Beetle of Balance cucks Malthael kinda hard.

If it truly is a wash then pick the hero that performs better which is objectively d.va

planning to get anub for my next hero, what is a decent talent build on him?

Elves are so boring and vanilla.

Gimmie more thicc Panda cuties that I can snuggle with.

This desu

I don't like murky's on my team

I don't like murky's against my team

Why does this antifun hero exist

One more time, is there a discord I can join for /hotsg/? I wanna try some Team League. My ID is Gringuy#1075

There are only 8 white male human characters so I can't have an N'Sync vs. Backstreet Boys match unless each team has Abathur.

1: Nerubian Armor, makes an already hard to squash bug harder to squash.
Situational: On braxis or tomb you can consider regen master, though typically if you need regen master there's something wrong with your draft.

4: Bed of Barbs, stupidly OP, makes a slow field for enemies that also does damage making it good for wave clear as well.
Situational: Underking if you have another tank and your job is just to dive and disable the mages and/or healers.

7: Chitinous Plating or Subterranean Shield. Both have merit, it depends if you're taking sustain damage (Chit), or burst damage (Sub).

10: Cocoon is one of the most powerful heroics in the game.

13: Burning Rage on blackhearts. Urticating if you're diving into the middle of the enemy team or getting surrounded a lot. Acid-Drenched for the same reason that Underking is considered at 4, except now you don't have to give up a stupidly OP talent for it.

16: Epicenter if you have bad aim, or your comp is has great sustain heals that it can just keep endlessly pushing into an enemy. Debilitation if you're actually trying to disable people.

20: Rewind.
Situational: Nullifcation Shield if you're up against an all mage team and just want to cuck them. Cryptweave if you want to BM.

On Scarab Talents: I have not done a lot of experimentation with scarab builds, I've heard they're decent for off-tanking as Anub as long as the enemy team also has a shit ton of skill shots for the scarabs to constantly fuck-up.

Wait I had Kael'thas on there even though he's an elf but he is by far the best Lance Bass.

the only time I dont get personal rank adjustment is when I get mvp, and even then sometimes i do

the fuck

PRA is based on averaged MMR + performance, or something

>when you manage to tilt somebody so hard by spamming hearthstone that he messages you after the match to talk shit

Is this how you know you've truly won?

>playing some stitches
>devour the entire team at lvl 20
>bstep
>lose
>still get buttmad messages from 4 of the 5 i ate

why does bstepping trigger people so much

>7-8 heroes
>Already got a duplicate
Feels bad

...

>own only 2 legendary mounts and 3 legendary skins
>every single legendary I get is a dupe
blizz pls

how big is your dick

>playing abathur when the rest of your team doesn't do anything
there's nothing for me to improve here
