yfw they put in Talandar and not Fenix

>wanting Malygos AND Kalecgos

for what fucking purpose

If they ever happened, they'd be heroes separated by years in terms of release dates. Just look at what's happening in LoL, there's so many FASTFASTFAST adc/apc's these days. Malygos and Kalecgos would have to be released years apart

Dumb trump poster

>mfw finding out SC Remastered fixes literally none of the pathing issues cause muh integreity
>still charge $15 for it

thanks for fucking nothing blizzard I was actually excited and somewhat willing to fork over money to get prettier graphics and not have my dragoons and goliaths fuck off to whatever magical land they felt like occupying when I tell them to go up a ramp

racest

Been fucking with Stukov alot on PTR (no homo) and he's fucking good. His range talent imo is a musthave, and it being level 1 is stupid just make it default.

I tried playing the original Warcraft not to long ago but the constant clicking many units at once is way too fucking tedious. I ended up watching a lets play of it. Of course Koreans would love the game because they are insane. I still prefer AoE over them both.

The only thing it has over the original is that it has widescreen.

i really like playing this game but i really cant see why people take it so seriously. just let me pick whatever the fuck i want in hero league dont be a cunt about picks jesus christ its casual af

Play QM/Unranked its there for a reason.

t. silver

wat?

the bans work just like any other assfaggots

nowadays it's really easy to get your pick unless you play fotm

but its not fun in qm, skill disparity makes it a stomp. the only balanced matchmaking is in hero league
nah, people bitch you out for picking whatever you feel like, especially if they've called a role
idgaf, its a game ffs

Here's a novel idea for all the various OPs:

why not just create a discord and work together?

I've noticed 4 prominent OPs:
>Watermark OP
>Artsy OP
>Waifu OP
>??literal who [embed] OP

Can you fgts please just cooperate and organize and set some sort of organized OP making bullshit? Please?

Then play Unranked if you want to play casual. Playing ranked and expecting people not give a shit about you first picking nova is just asking for trouble. I don't understand why even bring up issue if you already stated you don't care.

HL and QM have barely any different matchmaking. Most people do not climb significantly higher than their placements and most peoples placements are based off their qm mmr

>dood it's just a GAEM lmao sorry

yeah okay cool, it's also a game that's a lot more fun when we don't have someone who just says "FUCK everyone else I'm playing Raynor"

Why are you showing up to the mode where people wanna take the game more seriously and then calling them cunts for taking the game more seriously

...

he is our current Fenix, get over it

Original Fenix was a zealot, which has nothingto offer what isn't already used up in Artanis; and then he became a dragoon, which may be fun, but new Fenix is also a dragoon in SC Co-Op, so this confirms he's getting it. They're not even trying with calling him Talandar, he IS THE Fenix now.

I could see zealot Fenix still being adapted into a true Zealot assassin type.

>enemy have no reveal\scout\drones\easy skillshots
>actually can have fun as a stealthy

What is Stukov build?

Nova or val

>Enemy has no vision
>Nova/Val still play like retards

Despite having a huge advantage they still fuck it up.

>tfw getting back at a b-stepping/spraying xul after farming all game as nazeebo on haunted mines

Build his silence ability up

Has there been a map rotation yet that doesnt have Hanamura? Blizzard is really salty that no one likes it huh

Only Heaven knows.

I must have missed it, but what is stukov's trait?

Activates his Q as an insta heal or his slow ability as instant dmg/slow

Despite all those changes it fixed none of the issues. I still can't get over how a 2CP map became a payload map that nobody even liked. The only reason I think they thought it was a good idea was due to adding weeb ninja and gookie girl.

Detonate his hots / dots for flat damage / healing, can trait for things like aoe versions or reply

thanks

SOOOON
ITS JAWESOME

added to the offical hots playlist, should i share the spotify? / youtube queue?

we got gender-flipped diablo

when do we get other gender-flipped heroes?

I have a hard time selecting male characters. It was pretty bad the other day. We needed a support. Enemy team picked up Auriel, who I was going to pick, then Morales got banned out. That left me with Li Li and Tyrande. Li Li doesn't count as an actual person and Tyrande isn't much of a healer, so I went Valla under the assumption that we wouldn't need a healer if the enemy team was dead and she would do more than Tyrande to assist with that task. I guess I was wrong but I sure as hell wasn't going to pick Uther like my teammates were shouting at me to pick.

Pic related.

4/10 the original bait is decent, but people are just going to ignore it and waifufag instead

Hmm i want shota Lili with thicc shorts owo

Of course.

What about favorite Stukov song?

>being a fagfag

>shota
>fag
pick one

>we got gender-flipped diablo

I care less about genderswaps and more about altered fates / altered universes.

Like Ghost kerrigan vs Infested nova. Khalai Kael'thas. Demon hunter tracer.

Okay for real everybody is doing W build but skeleton build is ridiculous right now.
Also the slow at 1 plus executioner at 13 is crazy

I know its late in NA...but literally what

Lucky

I had a game a few seasons ago. Master/grandmaster + diamond + platinum + gold + silver on each team. The matchmaker clearly just threw its hands up in the air and said "fuck it".

why is kerrigan considered shit tier? i like playing her and get many kills just by building up my shield

new player here

rpboyer15.github.io/sounds-of-the-storm/
>still not updated for Malthael sound files
REEEEEEE

Shes just a worse alarak

When is a full Baleog build acceptable over the default bribe/spin one? Getting TLV to 10, and can barely stand them.

Two/Three lane maps without a lot of camps. So stuff like top lane dragon shire, or solo laning on braxis.

>Getting heroes you don't like to 10

Shit, half the time I can't even be bothered to get them to 5.

leeroy jenkins when

That's pretty much 90% of why I even want Maiev. The Shan'do Illidan set remains incomplete without her.

Maiev will be announced at blizzcon screenshot this.

Because of you, some poor user has 5kb less hard drive space.

I hope you feel bad

never

Tell me about the new Xul; what does he do differently?

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

maghda from diablo 3... would she be an interesting hero?

is there any point to posting this still, other than for the memes that is?

You didn't care who he was until he put on the mask.

As long as it's a nobody, it's perfect for this game.

Do you get any punishment for leaving games in QM? If you do... Do people who don't end games when they can get banned for not participating in the game?

I'm not sure, but apparently. Blizz "looks at" your account if you get more than 5 reports...

QM is full of retards
I lost so many good games in QM because of people who had absolutely no control over their heroes. I don't get it, I'm playing high ranked queues but whenever I try out QM again it feels like walking right into a mental asylum. I pity those newbies who have to level up 14 heroes in QM just to get to ranked

>Play unranked
>Get massively better match quality
You've only yourself to blame

>placed in gold 5
>go down to silver 1
>carry myself to plat
>now back down to gold 5

this is mentally grueling

>Probius is actually kind of fun
Didn't see that coming.

my advice, don't play on weekends. Seriously that's when the bottom feeders are the most abduntant.

this.
also stop playing once you lose three times in a row. take a break or a walk, calm down and focus on something else.

Probius is the most fun.
People think you just sit in place and dump pylons, but then you realize your one and only defensive ability is a 10% bonus to move speed.
You don't get to stop moving for a second and you get shit on.

does anyone actually buy these lol

He kind of is defensive, can't push that well with warp thingies.

I doubt they would at that price but its a pretty clever idea honestly.

27 positives,they probably do.
Im amazed you guys didnt do that too.

>these god awful summer skins
Just give me the fucking normal chests,please.

this. its fucking horrible. but thats blizz right there. a bland company for 12 years olds who think that water guns are so cool

yeah i guess. i thought of doing that but cba to spend whole day making accounts + playing through the tutorials. but yeah they'd probably sell well for 20$ easy money. actually now that i think of it what a fucking missed opportunity to get good ez cash

>he missed Tyrande skin craze

fuck off

I wish guldan had more skins

I don't care for balespider and I already have the shadow council colors I want

i wish you had a foreskin

Could be worse. Could be Rag.

How would you implement them? Most of them have someone else with a kit that would suit them, and some of them have the same possible kit (2 aspects of magic, 2 dreadlords, 3 paladins)
>MED'AN
We do not mention him.

>had more skins
he doesn't have any

Mal'Ganis's trait is his voice is 65% more sensual than the average hero.
