Obligatory russian leak. The date in the left corner (when this leak was published) says 8 may.

Text says that they will be released in following order

Hype?

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

What is that thing next to KZ?

Man that is an all-star release order. I'm even hype for the hybrid.
Come on, bulky-ass StarCraft main tank warrior.

Why would I trust this vs. the leak that has so far been 100% correct and indicates KT or Junkrat next.

Zerg/Protoss Hybrid

>balanced tentancle man of many heals and silence
I fucking hate it, at least when you got a malth they'd always feed, stukov just makes fights take needlessly long

>bottom right
who dis

>dw and kt next
too good to be true desu

>Diablo legendary skin

Well this one was correct with Malthael + Stukov aswell. Tbh I'm fine with any outcome (as long as they won't release other overshit heroes)

>Terrans still dont have a warrior

although I guess the only thing they could have would be Thor, which overlaps with Tychus' Odin

Protoss-Zerg Hybrid (Reaver type), a unit on their short list a few blizzcons back.

Post on russian facebook from random blizzfan is not a russian leak user.

did one even have a name in SC2?

I don't think so

Murky, Morales and Probius weren't named before hots aswell, like any Diablo 2/3 player character tho

No. The only named hybrid that comes to mind is Maar, and he was a Destroyer. Nevertheless, we have Probius the Probe, sometimes units are made up whole cloth.

it got "leaked" after their releases you moron

>Dr. Boom
>The Innkeeper
>No fucking RAFAAAAAAAAM, THE SUPREME ARCHAEOLOGIST

if you're going to add hearthstone heroes why not add the best one you fucks

>no waifus
it's shit

This apparently is from may 8th.

Great match making indeed!

>deathwing
>shit human form
fuck humans can't have a fucking character that isn't orc angel or human

>Get excited because with Legion Maiev was relevant and mentioned on the WoW front page
>Had her own lore page
>She does nothing
>Isn't out for HotS either
BLIZZARD!
I WON'T STAND FOR THIS!

I NEED TO BE THE IRON HAND OF JUSTICE!

>literally almost two years ago
>since then of these only Xul, Varian, and Cassia have made it in

Based retard bro on the scene

Samuro was the first hero put into Blizzard dota 6 years ago and only came out last october

Why are people trying to trust a new leak when the leak that correctly predicted D. Va, Malthael, and Stukov still hasn't been proven wrong yet?

Maybe people are just sick of cancerous overwatch heroes and want to believe anything that doesn't say we're getting more overwtach.

Friendly meta alert reminder that Malthael is no longer S-tier, merely A-tier.

These have been 85% of my games.
This is going to be a long week.

>cho'gall in discount for gems
well fuck me i need 150 gems more

Me unga too, bro. Team ALWAYS bunga.

do i have to play 1 game a day to participate in the giveaway or actually win?

Win. Ai games count.

>stitches gorges me and walks behind wall
>swift strike right on out

mada mada

Stukov just ruins his hopes and dreams. Valeera used to shut him down really hard with her silence but she's a garbage character and his AoE would cancel her stealth. Stukov is one of the best support characters ever and his instant ranged silence shuts him down so hard that even with 50 armor he goes down in a second.

>Drops lurking arm at stitches feet

enjoy eating shit without your 3 escapes

I can't tell if lurking arm is the best thing blizzard has done for the game in over a year, or the worst thing.

Leaning towards the good side because of how many heroes it not only makes viable, but how many characters it fucks over. Also the combo potential like mentioned here We also need Leoric Stukov best pals art

>tfw leoric entombs their whole team and you drop the lurking arm

My dick can only get so hard

play hearthstone

>Zoning arm
>Team decides to set up a perimeter in front of it.

I never understood why the Entomb upgrade gave it damage instead of a silence, or at least a silence for the first two seconds of Entomb.

>play
>heartstone
pick one shill

>Azmodan is only 2k gold now
when the fuck did this happen?

the lakers traded him off the team

I love it. Planting my Lurking Arm beneath Void Prisons, Devouring Maws, Gorges, Entombs etc. is all very profitable.
It's like a Silence variation on Malfurion's root.

Maiev is a fucking cunt

why do people like her

A few months ago along with Gazlowe, I think.

>muh generic fem nelf waifu
dunno

Maiev is a cunt who:
A) Did nothing wrong.
B) Was completely correct.
C) Deserves my love.

She was just running after some demonhunter's dick whole time

Maiev is gay and loves Naisha.

D)Would have gotten Tyrande killed if she had her way.

>lied about tyrande's death
>stopped illidan from destroying the frozen throne
>blinded by revenge over false pretenses

pst... user... wanna know who the next hero?

at least no stukov mirror match
you are the only one to shout GET OUT REEE

pls

God if only we could be so lucky.

Tyrande was pretty much as good as dead. Also, she deserved it for slaughtering the Watchers.
Illidan would've also caused Northrend to melt and drown 90% of Azeroth.
>False pretenses
Excusez-moi?
Everything Maiev did was right.

SEX

>3 losses in a row
>this always happens after i win 1 game
>had a 56% winrate but thats not allowed so now its rapidly declining

im piss

post 'em

What a cunt.

Fresh...

Stukov is so overtuned

I love playing him but they will 100 % nerf his healing output

>tell ally to come to objective
>"DUDE ITS JUST QM IM JUST PRACTING MY SPLIT PUSHING LOL"
this game is giving me cancer

>how to be a pussy 101

>it's some retard without waveclear or relevant pve/structure dps

like I can understand Zag splitting to eat a fort/keep
but when tyrande is like hiiii we're level 10 and they're 9 but you can 4v5 obj gl :3

hey I slapped a varian with abathur and stole the kill credit, I'm pretty good at not being total bitch

>ask stukov why he only has 40k healing at 20m
>tells me he isn't going healing build
Only constant :^)

He only gets out of control once you finish Vigorous Reuptake. Without that he's only about Lucio-tier.
Granted, Lucio-tier heals with his incredible AAs, push ult, and easy-access silence is a little much all together.

I like Medivh a whole lot so far but all the games are on my friend's account when I did the OW event for them

Lucio 2.0

way too strong of a support when released, will get nerfed until he is useless and then the Double Support/ pick Uther or else meta will come back

Can't heal dead retard teammates.

Goes both ways bungaposter.

Nova buffs when

Wouldn't be dead if we had a healer.

>522 games
Nice.

___________bunga

Wouldn't be dead if you knew how to engage
>have healer
>better dive into their backline under full towers to get their 90% hp Morales
>dies
>ME BUNGA HEALER

>Be Stukov
>Silence Hammer in Seige mode
>She literally cannot do anything to fight back

That's the funniest shit ever

You were that stukov weren't you?

>Kelthu'Zad

I seriously hope they will be careful with the nerfs. his kit is so great and Im a Stukov fanboi anyway
pls blizzard

wait can she not unsiege or use Z

holy

>Play hots
>join game
>Genji in enemy team
>lose
>join another game
>genji in enemy team
>lose
>repeat
Why is he still ingame? Why to those cancer patients pick him in QM?

She can unsiege.

>twin blades does less sustained dps than colossus smash and doesn't even have the option of doing burst damage
what did the balance team mean by this?

lmao fury is a shit spec

Here roast me

Everyone wants new characters and i just want Diablo to have his OWN banner. (Azmo too)

>tfw bad with stukov

>be braindead
>lose
Fucking blizzard

ITT: Stukov buffs/nerfs that are needed

>flailing swipe should have a lower CD, maybe ~50 seconds
>increase TETSUOOO cooldown to 25 or 30 seconds
>his trait heals for far too much, maybe nerf it by 20-25% and lower the cooldown to compensate
>W build is absolute garbage, partly because the level 1 quest takes way too long to complete even if you are absolute god at skillshots

>>W build is absolute garbage, partly because the level 1 quest takes way too long to complete even if you are absolute god at skillshots
yeah, it should be like half of what it is

More attacks = more heals, better for camps and dueling
Also it does give MS, meaning better sticking to targets, meaning better duelist and more consistent DPS
Also it doesn't reduce his max health, so he won't explode -as- fast as CSmash going in

>he unironically picks fury

MS is a talent separate from that, the only benefit is that blades can keep the debuff indefinitely

His W in general is trash that I forget to use half the time.

W isn't that useful anyways. It's only good for killing someone that is trying to run away and you have to detonate it for that.

I don't. I rarely ever even pick CSmash. I just explained why Fury is still better at blending someones face over time

Movement speed you silly
