No summer beachbutt Johanna, am saaaaaad. Johanna is bestbutt.

stitches pull brawl is best brawl

couldn't stop laughing for about 5 minutes straight

The skin we neeeeeeeeeeed (minus the awful face the artist gave her).

I am genuinely jealous of how relaxed Stitches looks on the splash page.

Always fun when your illidan goes 0-9 in 12 minutes. Thanks. Really fun game.

>mop was the best nuwow xpac
>no one gave it chance because of kung fu panda memes

Don't ever post a thread again

I'm kinda disappointed with the summer skins, desu. We basically got 3 skins, Tychus, Tracer, Stitches, that's it. And instead of giving Stitches like 10 variations, they should've gave us more strawhats, swimsuits and feet.

>no skin for best girl

>no skin for actual best girl

You know what that summer tits image needs? Some fuckbug.

Maybe i'm a bit spoiled coming from other games but hots seems to have the slowest skin releases and the worst general quality when compared to other games, but it's free so I shouldn't complain I guess.

NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT!
Dear god I have no idea why but Blizzard is getting me into Zagara.

Fucking Veeky Forums showing the wrong image, don't worry I got ya

Why does someone always feel obligated to shit up the OP every single week?

Just leave it be, fuck off. Someone else handles it better so don't mess with a good thing.

I still want beach bartender Leoric. Just a skeleton in a hawaiin shirt with flower lays, swim trucks and sandals, maybe a big straw hat and sunglasses.

Swing a giant tiki totem
Wraith walk reclines in a beach chair
Drain makes a coconut drink with a straw
Swing makes flame juggling style flames
Entomb makes a giant tiki bar
Don't pick black kings march because it sucks

YOUR LACK OF SUNSCREEN IS NOTED

>Watch Illidan walk away from a fight, with barely any health, when the enemy has no chase outside Malth, and he wasn't marked so he was safe
>Illidan decides nah fuck it I'll dive back it
>Dies before getting in even a 2nd auto
>proceeds to do this 8 more times

Leoric that same match was trying to 1v5 with march of the black king

I could write an essay on why Illidan is inferior in almost every regard to thrall.

Both are under powered in my opion, but Thrall has far more options if you MUST blind pick a melee assassin.

I think it has something to do with development of the skins. If you look at a good number of the skins their skeletons are different from the original model. It seems like they make a whole new model every time not just start from a base which would take less time.

What we really need is a skin for Beach Uther.
Fuck briefs Tychus, I want casual, cute daddy Uther.

So, are people still calling Zag the worst specialist?

Also, huh?

Lumberjack not gay enough?

I'll admit, I love his look in his metal detector spray.

u mad ?

Yeah she's terrible except for her vision the creep provides. Her global is kinda useful on warhead though.

>people call zag terrible
>proceed to pick azmo and sylvanas
???

Zagara's (aa) damage is very low and she has long-ish cooldowns. In order to actually influence a fight she needs to be in it for long enough to get multiple rotations of her cooldowns off, without anyone diving her.

There's some neat stuff that she can do, but she's really not in all that good of a place right now. When she was at peak oppressiveness she had a ton more AA damage, which fed into infest a lot faster and she could demolish your shit *very* quickly.

Eh, stupid as it sounds, like Brief Tychus it's a bit much for me.

I like my beefy men to be subtle. good facial hair helps. Just not roid ragers.

I've never seen anyone call her the worst specialist.

azmodan is top tier though

his globla pressure is insane at 20

She's better than gazlowe in a vacuum, but at least he can actually do things with team coordination with his stun

He is at trash or D tier in every single tier list by competent players out there user. Unless, of course, you are living the BRONZE-SILVER life.

Xul is the only bad specialist.

>Tyrande with slight seethrough sundress never
>Valeera with bright red two piece never
>Li Ming with a straw hat throwing coconuts never
>Life Guardian Johanna never
>Illidan with sunglasses and two pool noodles as weapons never

Specialists aren't usually picked at all by pro teams since they know how to rotate efficiently. Not sure what your point is dude.

This
Anyone who says Xul is a good pick should be shot. He can wave clear all he wants he will still barely push any lanes and offer very little to the game. It doesn't help he is a slow and squishy while having two horrible ults that do nothing. The only saving grace might be his root, but there are way better heroes for that. Hopefully they will rework him one day.

Stukov hype?

>walk into 3 people as twin blades varian
>die
>blame your healers

thanks for the laff varian

I was hoping we'd get a xul rework to coincide with the necromancer being released for d3. Guess not.

Original poster
>tier lists
you're worse than him, get out scrublord

Do you think the angel of HOPE likes the lewds?

Xul's kit is kind of a weird cluster fuck.

>Has to be in the thick of the fight to slow AAs
>Dies if looked at even with shield

He does... everything... but not well

Woah mama, source.

He has to get super close to anything. Dies to a sneeze and his only talent that is worth while fucks you over by having a longer cd. It doesn't help you are forced to picks between shitty split pushing or horrible damage. I rather play Zag just running teleporting while pushing and still be able to put out a decent amount of damage.

>Drain puts a coconut on the target, and Leoric is just following them with a REALLY LONG STRAW to drink from it

>artist name on image
>asks for source

Am I the only one that feels the draft UI is shit and needs a redesign?

GIANT display of heros face, some skins make their faces totally different.

tiny display of bans that are also grayed-out.

HOLD ON WE NEED HUGE SPACE TO SHOW CHARACTER MODEL PICKS

Have to bring up character sheet.

tiny as fuck ban/pick order indicator.

DUDE
GENJI
LMAO

Eactly this. A big, brightly stripped straw.

I DRINK, YOUR, MILK-SHAKE

The picks should show hero name. I once lost a game because I thought a tassadar skin was greymane and picked something retarded

the entire game feels empty
the main screen is this terrible purple/black that makes the game feels dead
I blame the SC2 vibe/engine

I can buy that. Dive fucks her so hard. It is fun how easy she gets a gate in QM though. I wonder why we don't have people begging for buffs every thread. Every other underpowered hero has its whiners.

Fucking Greymane wrecked me a lot.

I just won a Warhead game with her where our team had 35 kills to their 50.

>confusing anub'arak tassadar for greymane

your account level 134 is showing

and the tychus skin is basically his prisoner skin minus pants + the stitches skin was already in the game
this event is garbage
it feels to me that since 2.0 blizz has diverted most of their hots team to other proyects, only way I can explain the huge decline in quality

The sprays are by far the best thing about the event.

And we don't really get to see them ever.

Moving soon and any extra money will be of great help. Any idea of where to go etc? Suggestions and information is appreciated

Maybe they are thinking more for the future to release summer skins so at some point we will get them. Blizzard just likes to thinly slice content. They do the same shit for OW too.

Tychus seems pretty detailed not so much can be said for Tracer who doesn't even look like she is going swimming. They should have gave it to Johanna or someone else.

Wrong thread?

All I can really tell you is a good tip a friend told me once. NEVER MOVE TO A POPULAR CITY! It will be expensive as fuck. Look rural or maybe small town/city?

I rather like the Tracer skin. It has a lot of effects for an epic, with the AAs being water, the splish and splash on her teleport and the water balloon pulse.

/ourgirl/ faye is streaming guys

The part that really annoys me is that she's wearing her weird ass regular shoes. Could've easily been barefoot or have sandals.

With that skin it only continues to highlight how she has fucking clownshoes because her body proportions are so weird.

TYCHUS HAS A BIGGER COCK THAN YOU!

Wow it's.....kinda shit

Dota's is perfect

>Towers of Doom
>We've been on 6 core health for the past like 4 altar phases
>they're at 36
>we're making the comeback of the fucking century
>I get ganked on bw, lunara and rehgar jumped on me from some bushes, it's my fault but everyone wound up splitting for camps so I couldn't really avoid it
>at least the malthael that's getting the top camp will be safe since they were distracted by me and he can hearthstone out
>malthael instead engages them, and a 3rd person has joined them
>he dies but not after he delays his death like fuck
>they cap the last altar right as I'm phase shifting back to it

I feel so fucking cheated. We were wiping them in every 5v5 at that point

>Play QM
>Win
>Play Ranked
>Lose

RRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE

Draft better

Draft means fuckall when you're a bronzeshitter.

But I don't fucking get it, in QM the enemy lets me do whatever the fuck I want to them, but touch ranked and even in bronze hell the enemy team are ultra brain wojak's all linked in unison with all 5 of them talking in sync operating one giant keyboard.

Fuck.

In QM it's about personal stats, staying alive, and partaking in really stupid fights.
In ranked, you have people who are trying to do objectives properly and play the map, with only a small percentage (small but significant) who play it like it's QM.

It doesn't get better. I've had Platinum league people draft like retards.

Stukov officially confirmed.

>teammate spam pinging us to push a keep while a full health immortal is shitting on our own keep

it amazes me how bad some people's game sense is

you're like 15 hours late kiddo

this is why I do nothing but pick samuro and jungle like a mother fucker all game. Constant map pressure wins you a lot of games, especially when Samuro can typically gank whatever dumb zagara or azmo they have splitpushing

So specialists are good for dragging myself out of this shitheap right? Who do you recommend? Slyvanas?

Murky

what a derpy looking face on that tracer

further proof that spectre/ghost tracers are best tracers

>Le spunky dyke gets a skin and not anyone actually sexually appealing

yeah but it wasn't in the OP because OP was retarded and nobody has mentioned it since

WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I PLAY AND WIN A GAME WITH TRACER?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!!?! THIS GAME IS FUCKING SHIT WITH HOW RETARDED MY TEAM IS 100% OF THE TIME.

>play useless glass cannon
>blame team
lol

BUT IT'S TRUE. EVERY TIME SOMEONE IS OUT OF POSITION AND RUINING THE GAME.

USELESS? OK, LETS TALK ABOUT HOW SHIT MOBAS ARE AND HOW UNBALANCED THIS FAGGY FUCKING NIGGER GAME IS.

>picks tracer
>can't waveclear
>can't 1v1 90% of heroes
>charges in expecting to blink around and 1v5 everybody
>doesn't realize that tracer has to be babysat by a healer and tass/zarya entire game in order to not die

literally the worst hero unless your team is pro level babysitters

SEE

And she was the only female chosen to get a beach skin.

>play assassin
>don't make picks
>lose
>muh team

You're shit, love.

Why don't you go back to Overwatch? At least there you can carry with Tracer.

>OI GUV'NAH! WHERE DA CARPET AT?

YOU'RE A STUPID NIGGER, LOVE.

i want ow shitters to leave

>play hots
>kite people
>burst them down
>play overwatch
>fifty billion shields
>die to some mouth breather waving his cursor back and forth
Am I just bad at FPS?

yes

I was really good at halo 5+ KD, and my accuracy is decent. I just don't understand how you're supposed to carry in OW.

It's called getting old, user.

Still have to appeal to the OW crowd.

I THINK THE GAME IS PRETTY OK, ALSO DON'T WORRY MY CAPS LOCK IS BROKEN TOO SO LET'S ALL SHOUT UUUHHHH!

And what rank are you with that now?

>can't 1v1 90% of heroes
That's a funny way of saving can 1v1 90% of heroes
>charges in expecting to blink around and 1v5 everybody
Blame the player not the character

Expect all of the following by Feb. 2019:

>Kel'Thuzad
>Junkrat
>Ana
>Velen
>Maiev
>Winston
>Kyle Vlaros
>Mengsk

about 1-2 a month. some only once a mo
