Yes

Warcraft 3 15th Anniversary user

SCBW is 19 years old and they will release the remaster next month

imagine the fuckton of money that blizzard would get due to Dawn of War 3's failure?

>not sonya

Sonya, Zarya, Lunara, Johana, Morales.
Too young.

>mfw Stukov is the next hero
>mfw he is a solo support
>mfw he looks incredibly fun to play
>mfw Kel'Thuzad next

What are gonna be the two or three heroes announced at Blizzcon 2017 guys?

>johana
u wot. definetely not
also morales shaves for sanitary reasons

>morales shaves for sanitary reasons
Raynor has scruffy beard/hair and tychus looks dirty. I doubt terran marines have time for hygiene when in armor.

Junkrat and mei

Gengu is too stronk pls nerf so I can get out of bronze and into grand master where I belong.

Mei, Kel'Thuzad, Imperious

Overmind as a gimmicky 5 man hero

...

who is the best healer right now

is lili good?

Pubes exist for sanitary reasons user.

BW get the biggest healing numbers on scoreboard.
LiLi is really good.

they exist for copulation.

>win 9 games in a row
>2 of us get disconnected for 10 minutes in the 10th game
But what do I know, I am merely the only constant.

BW?

I could see it as a Map, like something based on the final battle of Aiur from SC1.

>still no buffs for best girl tyrande

Brightwing

Brightwing. She might not be the best support, but her trait build has the best healing output in the game.

lili has the shittiest model and skin selection ingame

my winrate with her is 52%
No buff needed

Ragnaros has worst skin selection

Arthas has worst model.

>Pick tyrande or tassadar in QM
>3 out of 4 matches, you're the only support in the game
>Boost your QM MMR like crazy
>Get placed in high plat or diamond after HL placements
Feelsgood

>she

Lili is solid, but more as a secondary support
Right now Uther is the first pick healer in the majority of cases

>Pixie Charm
>Each time Brightwing heals an Allied Hero with Soothing Mist, she gains a stack of Bribe.
>She

>tfw the 1st time since alpha today when i alt+f4
man that match was so anti-fun, hopeless and aimless that i really had no other option but save time

im so fuckin sick of this meta already. i hate double tank and double support its so fucking lame fuck this game.

its been confirmed by blizz so yes.she

It's almost like we're playing Overwatch now.

just play QM, you queue as an assassin and it is a 5 assassin vs 5 assassin

no healer no tank meta!

had a game not too long ago that reminded me of wow arena
just two teams whacking away at each other with nobody dying until somebody fucked up using their "out", like Valla vaulting early

delet

5assV5ass is the true test of skill
when you dont have supports or tanks to save your ass or setup kill you only have yourself to make plays

Is Stukov's favorite genre of television slapstick comedy?

why is etc never picked anymore what did they do to him

Added better characters

>Anub'Arak still not nerfed

>"whats the matter... do you have allergies HAHAHA"

LUNARA IS CUTE!

...

Who you want me kill?

all elves are cute

I play her (somewhat) frequently and I've never heard that.
The way she laughs IS cute though, I can agree.

He has the best voice lines of all heroes

because they are all copied from when blizz was good

But that is a Dryad!

HEY! do you think having a team comp with 2 tanks and 2 healers for the sole purpose of protecting their 1 damage character (in hots btw not league) might shine a light on how powerful that damage character is? should this be a viable strategy to playing a team based moba that has team experience and level gains and no items/gold/ability to get one character fed to absolute god tier HMMMMM really making me think about team synergy and strategy here

honestly it was kinda funny how underwhelming that was playing it now, I was expecting the location of the overmind to be some like, eldritch horror stuff but its the same grassy field covered in creep as all the other zerg locations

>lunara
>elf

if you find any of her non elf parts attractive you will be gassed along with the li li fags

>with the exception of like Nazeebo and Butcher you can't fuck over individuals too hard by killing them
feels kind of bad desu

It's been over a decade since I played, but hadn't the overmind literally just transplanted himself to Aiur and hadn't had time to properly settle in?

>be kael
>take flamestrike quest like a fucking idiot
>finish it at 30mins at best

I guess so but it wasn't really explained why he was there, I thought the Overmind would be on another planet like Char and that was the whole point of having cerebrates to micromanage your colonies.

>elves
>cute
user....

You forgot Medivh.

I ping the shit out of a Medivh and suicide charge him when he hits 15+ stacks on his quest.

It is great because he gets past 20 stacks during the fight and then loses it all.

You finish it early, late game it's never going to happen.

it's from her taunt

I don't even know what I want.
What are some good legendary drops?

Also don't fall for the Surfboard meme. It got some perma water sound as you move which gets super annoying very fast.

I don't know you but I want you to know that I hate you.

what the fuck is this edit

also the best legendary drops are 10k and especially 15k heroes.

You could spend some shards on best announcer, friend.

im so bad at it i need the rest of the talents to actually be able to safely hit it 20 times

at this point if i play kael i just build living bomb otherwise i hate myself for 20 minutes

when will they give li ming her waveclear back?

does anyone happen to have the screencap with the guy predicting d.va, malth, genji and some other heroes.

>the best drops are heroes
I got all of them.

shards are to be saved for event shit which you didnt get from chest also you posted the wrong image

Yeah, if you die once in the early game it's never going to get finished. It's a pretty shit talent imo.

It's pretty good but super risky and thus not suited for a beginner. I never take it myself, unless I'm against SamFam/Rexxar.

maiev soon!

zeratul is literally maeiv

It was Junkrat and Kel'thuzad

I know, because I was the one who wrote that post and am losing my shit over past few days seeing anons pointing to it like it's Axolotl's holy leak gospel, while it was just lucky guess on 3 out of 5

And here's the post, if you still want it anyway

its Kel Thuzad + the HS frozen throne Xpac and War 3 Remaster/HD update user

there's no reason to sell both Diablo 2 and War 3 and its xpacs as separate products any more

stukov WHEN?
this tuesday or next one?

>first half
>it's already july and 2 still missing
Fake news, sad!

or is there? think about it goy, we could have 4 separate cross promotions!

Mebbe I die
Mebbe you die too...

Fix her heals

when are they removing malthael from the game

Imagine living in a world where Nazeebo's pots were full of tiny Anub'araks.

Tomorrow is War3 15th Anniversary

There was also another leak that was done just before Malth, it was

Malth
Stukov/Garrosh
Ana

Work in those AAs nigger and EARN your heals, lil' bitch. Tyrando ain't no healslut, she a killer healslut, you don't kill shit you ain't healing shit

Tomorrow.

i will never get legendary...
i never saw anyone get it either

Why more people don't take arcane barrier is beyond me, having 1000 mana as KT is a fucking blast. The shield is very nice too, coupled with Energy Roil at 4 it makes KT very hard for a solo assassin to kill

you realised the higher hero dmg of the match right?

I saw it once. I can't remember the circumstance, though.

>tfw just spam click to leave because couldn't give less of a shit about the MVP screen

>tfw the only map i actually have fun on is infernal shrines

why is that map so fucking superior to the rest

I think it was something about all the psychic crystals on Aiur?

Ana?

oh yeah I forgot about the Xel'Naga crystals, I guess that makes sense.

Still I wonder if they'll make the overmind more intimidating than just a really big hive in the remaster

No, the crytals and the site of the last two missions were just so you could summon the Overmind to Aiur.

It really is never explained explicitly but I always understood it was so the Overmind could personally oversee the assimilation process, maybe a great psychic power was needed to achieve perfection.
