Xth for Malth nerfs and Hanamura deletion

Stukov's basic attack hits like a truck.

>Medic rework incoming boys
Why is the community ALWAYS wrong?

Because they expect you to take the ranged AA + Slow talent.

20 second cd on massive shove are u ready for ebin

>272 basic attack at level 1

>Attack speed 0.67

Xul rework!

who needs attack speed when you hit people with trucks

except its a close range attack on a hero with no escapes

not to mention that its pretty much the slowest attack speed in the game. Leoric's might be slower, not sure

Someone post new skins please

youtube.com/watch?v=wQ4AZGwGz24

I need to fill up my HotS reaction image folder, someone link me a zip file or just dump.

:(

I thought 1:05 was a mephisto portrait, turns out I'm a retard, it's just a dark wanderer portrait.

I want mephisto so fucking bad.

Please tell me that the Admiral Krakenov skin is epic, not a legendary.

whats with the pirate hype all of a sudden? did I miss something?

>does more damage per hit at level 1 than a vast majority of heroes at level 20

good job blizzard

xth for best girl

its epic but 600 shards as all new items have their price 1.5x

HAHAHAHAHAHA

>hits one time per hour with attack speed of .67

good job blizzard

oh no i blew my shards in the happy cloud

That's nice, I expected it to be 1600. I still don't know how could they make that terrible d.va skin a legandary.

Do you think that Stukov and infested Tychus would have special dialogue with each other?

Pretty sure they literally said prices were based on "coolness factor", so whatever people are willing to pay.

They could charge whatever they want for all the Overwatch shit, especially D.va

Glad nobody listened to all those faggots saying Xul was fine. Now he might actually be useful.

New Xul is godly, you heard it here first.

He can duel fucking anyone in lane it's insane.

So what Xul build do you think will be best now?
Skeletons or Cursed Strikes?

a bunch of new spray files are in the files, looks like there are some hgc related files too

>Xul rework

Ahhh, finally.

>Xul is healed for 50% of the damage done by Poison Nova. Skeleton Warriors become Poison Skeletons, dealing 50% increased damage.

Who is asking for all these recolors?

Come the fuck on man, it's always the same handful of heroes going free.

I WANT TO TRY ABATHUR DAMMIT

me

never

>tfw bought goliath d.va cause I like starcraft not ow
>no "go ahead TACCOM"
>no "GOLIATH ONLINE"

fuck you blizzard

>pirate skins
>bhb about to be removed from rotation

What did they mean by this?

my guess is that they made more than 3 recolors for a lot of skins but with the old system they had to choose 3 among all of them, so now that they can they are putting them in the game
OR MAYBE THEY ARE JUST LAZY FUCKS

easy money, also it bloats the chest reward pool
albino diablo is cool though

I feel like Skeletons will be more useful in the long especially if you can constantly have a group of them. As for the ults the poison nova seems way better while frost mages are still kind of shit unless you are chasing the enemy.

Post YFW shove has a 20 second CD and costs 60 mana

I sat up in my seat for a sec when I thought Auriel was getting something new. Not only is is just a reskin, it's a reskin of a demon skin.

Only heathens would use demon skins on her.

It's a control spell, Skeleton Mages will always be a decent ability because ti adds bodies and slows at range. Will it be better than the new ebola nova? Depends.

I want shark dehaka and wereshark greymane please

Nova always feel super slow to cast and can be interrupted fairly well. Of course now he can use his shield more often so he shouldn't be too worried about running into a team fight.

>pick malthael
>win
>they ban malthael
>pick stitches

>if it's dragon shire or blackheart bay good fucking luck hope your team knows how to rotate

It's really that simple in gold

block this

Can you explain, I always feel like I'm doing fuck all with Malth, something about him is just not clicking with me.

my.mixtape.moe/znfvwn.7z
here are all sprays and emoji i could find in the stukov ptr patch
password: password

Gotta play him like Illidan, but blow your load in Teamfights. Gotta have your trait on as many things as possible and get as many Qs as you can at all times.

I'M LOVING THE COLOR PILATES

wow um nice virus reported!

yw

Thanks m8y

>All these cool sprays
>None of them will be a skin

Such a shame.

Pirate event incoming laddie

>Sharkman greymane
HAVE MY MONEY BLIZZARD!

>New Skins!!!
>Just recolors

Oh

Would fucking buy.

New Xul is a fucking beastly lane bully, jesus.

They actually made good ult upgrades, too. Echoes of Death means Mortal Wound can hit a FUCKTON of heroes now, no more heals ever at 20 AND you get level 16 bonespear for more poke that.

Skeleton build is brutal if anyone attempts to fight you in lane, still gets fucked by AoE but the damage/heals make him stupid good again.

They'll probably reduce numbers here and there a bit, like the Poison Nova heal is probably too much, but this looks very good since he won't have to sacrifice lane push to teamfight so much, and either way is still very good at the other.

We Street Sharks now!

trips confirm

>B.va on Rexxar

stop it blizzard

THREAD THEEEEMEEEEE

youtube.com/watch?v=0biZXi_X_Jk

I quit playing Tychus for this same reason until I found a better skin without the shitty emblems.

the permaslow is pretty dang good if you get an executioner hero on your team

These new Xul skeletons are crazy

...

First it was Samuro, now it's Genji. When will you bronzies stop complaining about non-op shits?

You have to go the fuck in and not be a pussy. Doesn't matter if you die really if you get value. It's weird to play at first because most dps you want to focus a single sqauishy. With malth you want to click their biggest tank first then anyone else. Use your shroud to get many people in teamfights and teleport to minimize the damage youre taking (since youre in the middle of enemies most of the time. Use your q to sustain yourself for as long as possible. Escape is usually not an option

Is that the classic Xul skin? Will that one user finally be happy?

>it's a pirate theme episode
I love it.

youtube.com/watch?v=NmPQNvbXyic

did they mention a "terran it up" buncle in the video? i didn't check

youtube.com/watch?v=wcgvLiNYCcA

It's in PTR notes, In Dev vids only show off skins. They said nothing about the summer bundle in the last in-dev either.

>those greyfix settings

Sounds like you are a complete babby

If we don't get a pirate event with ALL of these skins I will be SO MAD

Even just with yourself picking Exec and going Shackler/Frost Skellies you're packing some heat.

For Stukov.
Not explained in the talent, the swipe upgrade reduces mana to 50 AND CD of your individual charges from 80 down to 40. I feel this is important information not being shown, the ult+talent are definitely better than they seem despite their imposing CD in comparison to shove.

Did Xul really need that rework? I thought he was fine the way he is right now.

>TLV have been in Heroes for almost a year now
>No new skins for them
Why bother adding this hero if Blizzard already knows it was joke to put these guys in the game.

>almost
???

>sieging down enemy for for that sweet extra shot on payload
>ping repeat on the payload turn in
>shitty impatient assassins does payload anyways
>couldnt wait 2 seconds

yes

I wish they leave it like that, l mean nazeebo can already slap anyone ass 1vs1 with a shitton of summons

Not the point, they have been their for quite awhile now, and they're not getting anything.

who diz?

dark wanderer aka diablo

Yep.
Nope.

>tfw over 1600 days without a skin

He was garbage. His dual soak gameplay had fallen off a lot since Dehaka and other came into the meta. This makes him into a solid teamfighter/solo pusher/lane bully which is good.

>1 week pause between 8-9
Kill me now
Aka warrior from D1

>Quest: Spawn Skeletal Warriors.

>Reward: After spawning 80 Skeletons, when Skeletal Warriors fixate on an enemy from Bone Prison they gain 50% Movement and Attack Speed.
This looks fucking fun

youtu.be/0un00iyrk6I

He has some good poke and intro lines, not sure about his kill lines. Although I wonder what exactly he says when he kills Zarya

It deletes squishies

Morales is getting a rework?

Yeah, he actually feels good now. Summons are still restricted to lanes, but he's pretty oppressive in there.
That said, full W build is literally a an unkillable blender with no CD on W at all that heals himself a fuckton while dishing out good damage, the Fartcloud upgrade pretty much turns him into Malthael 2.0 with the sustain, though that one's harder to stop with Q needing a silence or a stun + he's got armor, while Xul has RIDICULOUS self heal if he's hitting multiple targets with W and R, but can be shut down by a single imposing or blind.

He's also a lot faster at solo pushing a fort down since the increased attack speed talent more or less doubles his AA speed for 7 seconds, and triple Scythes is super strong poke against any structures.
