1st for Reinhardt

GARROSH IS NEXT

>no matter what character I play even if it's some immobile fuck like KT I always manage to have half the deaths and more kills than my teammates playing highly mobile and hard to kill characters like Zeratul and D.va

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

>Nazeebo takes Vile Infection even though he only has like 90 stacks, or when it is blatantly obvious that he will not be able to complete the quest

What goes through their minds when they do this? Just swallow your pride, cut your losses, and take Humongoid you shitter.

a reddit portrait should be a reward for "pull party"

Wait why would you be mad at leaks in a moba?

>why would reddit make sense guys?

Question about Stukov
Can people walk through your Massive Shove?
You can still be interrupted from Massive Shove right? Or will the arm just keep going?
Can people hit the arm while its shoving?

>responding to copypasta that's been posted for months

>Humongoid you shitter
I always do unless it is something like Spider where I can stack easily.

I also use it to backdoor forts

How can Xul be bad?
It appears he has a skill that deals 50% hero health as damage in an area.

>people so shit they cant get quest completed right on 20 lvl
>they die
>they go back at all
>they dont farm 2 lanes at ones
>they dont throw spider or zombies at passing lane while rotation obj
as a nazeebo being my 2d highest played hero i just cant watch noobs

it also appears that the damage is so slow you end up wiping his team before it ticks halfway through.

>melee
>no movement abilities
>no escapes
and last and most important
>fucking necromancer
>they made his skeletons capped and weak as a joke

poor little green boy

So what does everyone think will be the main build for stukov?

My guess
1 - none seem to really stand out
4- Vigorous Reuptake
7- Targeted Excision
10- Flailing Swipe
13- Virulent Reaction
16- Pox Populi
20- could be either Controlled Chaos or Bio-Explosion Switch

Although now that I think about it with targeted excision it'd probably be best to get poppin pustules at level 1.

Forced 50 doesn't e...

>go to unranked draft to learn to draft from watching others

Blizzard?!?!?!

Didnt you know Stukov is a compulsive masturbator?
Finally you can run and gun on your own with no healslutting on the sude.

>always ban new hero
>ban anub if you dont 1st pick him
here you go my man

>every time i join unranked i say Nova solo mid

Just don't be a shitter.

Since this was where I was adviced about MxM.

Any MxM players?

That...orifice looks like a pocket pussy made out of play-dough.

Did you seriously make a new Veeky Forums thread about that...why arent you in /v/

>Since this was where I was adviced about MxM.
obvious shilling detected

There's no moba general.

And of course, the game is better than all other MOBAs in history, so it does deserve it's own thread. The game might grow.

>the best
Not really, this is the best MOBA kind of game on the market atm.

then go post in your best moba in history dead thread

>implying it wont be very active if you merge it with Battleborn general

>Immortan Joe Roadhog
>Random Sephiroth looking guy

Gets me everytime

You aint seen nothin yet

Yeah i know its offtopic but its just too glorious not to laugh at it

>Garrosh's trait is Deep Wounds, additional dot applied by abilities that increases in damage the more the wounded target moves (in terms of distance) while applied.

There fixed the mobility creep.

>not adding that talent for hamstring ability

>Literally a storm trooper

>still no draenei hero

just add bloodcyka
rupture on tracer would be godly

Just finished losing my 3rd triple spec match in a row, Blizz matchmaking is wonderful today.

felt kind of sorry for the enemy team after seeing malfs stats

>start placements
>first teammate picks Nova
>second picks zera
>third picks Leoric
>in game Nova picks tripple tap
>Leoric picks march
Woah... so this is the power of gold league...

What's it like to be that much of a TRAITOR?

Maybe I die
Maybe you die too

I hope during draft you were saying "plz not nova" or suggesting builds that might synergize such as "entomb + precision"

>traitor
I will bow to no king who picks March

No I was picking Johanna and arguing against my 5th teammate that he should not pick Valeera

Who says that? Naz?

Anyone else put off by heroes marked as "Easy" to play? I really enjoy playing Jaina, but I feel people will think Im some shitter who can only play easy heroes if I pick her.

Also Cyborg-Sepiroth next to him

Jaina being easy is a meme, she's basically not picked every in competitive because she actually requires a comp to work around her to setup for her massive burst damage

And the fact she has no "press button to not die" escape

She has iceblock, but it comes super late and it's more of a 'press button to die a few seconds later'

Zuljin.

Stukov looks fun

Agreed. I feel at worse he'll be like Hammer or Gaz where he might not be top meta but he will be a blast to play

Mercy when?

Never? She be to much like Morals.

That lack of not die is a big deal. You need escape tactics more so if you plan to push forts

they already showed with D.Va that they're perfectly fine making up shit to include a hero

But D.va is still D.va at her core. Shoot, eject, defense matrix, etc.

Mercy is literally Morales with some tweaks. Either she's an inferior single target sustain healer or a better one, there's no two ways around it because they can't add Mercy without her beam.

Aso what would her ult even be, Auriel already has the res one

what is wrong with this shitty game. wait 2 minutes every time and this

People with shitty connection tryin to play, it's probably the same person requeueing trying to ruin other people's game

Leon when?

She resses whole team instead.
They haven't had an issue with doing OP shit like that, so I don't know why they wouldn't do it with her.

I WANT MY WAIFU REEEEEEEEE

At least they should remake that chessboard map,it looks fun.

The fact that Auriel's ress still only brings back one guy, after 5 seconds, with 50% HP should show you just how afraid they are of that mechanic in their game.

>MEDIVH CHEATS

The death timers in hots are ten times as long as the death timers in ow, so that isn't too surprising

The fact that they gave all their overwatch characeters infinite escapes proves they aren't afraid of making mercy ress whole team.

Being able to get away =/= removing penalty for dying for literally your whole team

eat shit nigger

>early TBC
>be a rogue
>sneak to chess alone
>solo it 3 weeks in a row
>guild implodes because "Horde guilds are hacking our progress and loot and we got spies in our ranks"

Like a true funking rogue

>falstad

Malf seem to do more tho, u can't heal dead heroes

since 2.0 I destroyed 1 computer monitor, 3 keyboards, like 5 or 6 mugs and a printer because of the infuriating ranked matchmaking, I think I'm done with this game

Was thinking the same thing. Not counting the healer they have 25 deaths and half the siege damage output of the enemy team. My money is they teamfight under lvl all game.

I think the issue is rank isn't based on personal play. You could have MVP and play gold lvl 24/7 but if your team refuses to win, you are stuck at Bronze 5 for life.

Help a newfriend out. I'm studying the heroes and battlegrounds to better understand the game.

When do I go for mercenary camps? And with what chars?

I think the issue lies more with user and not the game

To think, all you needed to buy was one gun and you could have saved yourself from having to buy all that other stuff

alt f4 and spare yourself the headache thb

yes it's totally my fault when half of my matches are with level 160 players who throw the game when their insta-prepick is banned/picked or who firstpick nova

guns are expensive and so is the license

You go for camps after:
A successful Push on a fort where you beech the gates (so get the ones in that fort)
After a obj resolves (so after the curse lifted on Hollows)
When enemy team is wiped or preoccupied

Ignore that. Valla is also labled but isn't that easy to play well.

No but it is your fault that you broke all that stuff, hinting at some issues you need to take care off.

What rank are you in anyway?

I was placed in silver 1, climbed to plat 3 and now am back down to gold 4

So why be mad about it? Just keep playing, the whole point of climbing is to climb, naturally you'll drop but keep playing and you'll go back up. If you take every loss to the nutbag you'll end up offing yourself from rage for literally no reason.

At what level though? With warriors I'm guessing. Assassins? Specialists? Supports probably not.

Right? If I compare comps the other shouldnt be even fighting 5v5 that comp is so shit. Maybe a good gravo bomb wombo?

On cursed hallow, always get the seige camp closest to your base at 2 minutes. It puts a 50% chance to get value out of it when your team goes for the objective at aroudn 2:45-3:00

Other than that, just take them before the objective generally speaking. Heroes that are good at taking camps are generally solo laners like Malthael, Thrall, Sonya, Gazlowe, Probius, Rexxar, Illidan, heroes with Bribe, etc. Use your better judgment.

It really depends on the character.

yeah it's so nice to lose literally all my progress in a single day because the game matches me with 3-4 people who are so far bellow my level that there is nothing I can do from minute 3 because the enemy team is already 2 levels ahead, it's so fun to always end up placed at least 2 leagues bellow where I should be because my QM MMR is garbage and seeds me with absolute losers so I end up winning 1-2 placement matches at best.
I'm consistently teamed with people who throw games because I tell them that their pre-pick is a bad choice on map/against the enemy comp.

You are the problem. Doesn't matter how good you think you play if you're a flaming rager in games and cause yourself and others to go off the rocker because you want things your way.

yeah telling someone to not pick a hero into a counter team politely is totally being a flaming rager

you're the cancer of this game

hey i quit when genji was released why are muradin, thrall, lost vikings, and my boy zeratul such low winrate? did they all recieve nerfs or did the genji and dva movement speed powercreep + mael kill everything while self sustaining powercreep push them to the bottom?
