Where the FUCK is Maiev????

I will continue using the same brood war cinematic until someone else makes the thread

Why is Nova fucking cancer?

Because you're level 53.

>Stukov in every game
>200k healing per game
>instant aoe silence on a little cooldown
>cant kill anything if you dont play a nuke hero

guess i'll just wait for the 50% reduce healing nerf incoming

She's shit and only shits on shitters.

>my team absolutely shitstomps theirs within the first 5 minutes
>team then gets extremely overconfident, ignores my requests to retreat, and proceeds to try to 1v5 cause lol talent advantage and then loses the game

remind yourself overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer. Especially if you're a fucking moron effectively trying to spawn camp the enemy on hanamura instead of turning in a payload with 3 shots

how do i counter stukov ? which hero ?
no i will not play stukov

>healing is heavily dependent on the team staying close together
How is that any different from BW or Auriel? use KT's living bomb and watch them scatter like rats

zeratul
chronosphere stukov

just pick zuljin and hard focus stukov and ult when necessary

>TAAAAAAZ-
>BEGONE
>shoves you across the entire map

>instant silence
>literally has a delay

Triple Tap is literally the highest damage ult in the game.

>never participating in team fights
>only good at finishing off players at 50% health or less
>continues to walk around cloaked for 95% of the time
>always complaining about team
nova isn't that bad

>nova
>anything but useless

She hasn't been relevant for years.

And The Butcher has some of the highest sustained damage.

>pastebin.com/sNQ3GgGb

Next OP use this Pasta.

false
last rites can do more
shadowbolt volley does more

[PROTECTED]

Despite the fact that it doesn't, It also roots you while you use it making it one of the most useless ults.

get out

>every ranked match someone starts to insult we lose
i'm sure its a coincidence!

it can also be blocked, body blocked, protected, parried, reflected, or nullified via stasis. And it tells everyone where you are while you channel the slow ass move.

>play any mage
>never run out of mana
>play jaina
>have to tap after two spells
why?

>be a moron
>make moronic posts
????????????

Jaina's kit is outdated and they haven't updated her mana costs.

Is Auriel black under her hood like Tyrael?

pls no

No, angels literally don't have anything under their armor. They're beings of pure energy that move around by controlling their armor through willpower

Tyrael is black cause he choose to be, he could've equally chosen to appear as a white guy or a wolf or someone's pet gerbil

we was angels and shiet

What do they need armor for then? why not just be "beings of pure energy" instead of dressing up?

fight demons, I guess it's hard for beings of energy to hold a spear

You just randomize a human appearance when you give up your angelic form

I hope she's asian, so weebs kill themselves

That's the most votes I ever got in HL

this is your shit-talking varian tonight

She has multiple talents for mana recovery. Her kit and trait are also too strong without something to counterbalance them.

>kael damages you for 2.500 damage in 2 seconds
perfectly balance i guess

pardon my bronze, but is there any valid circumstance in which you take Warbringer over Shield Wall?

Why is Biotic Armor so underrated? You can combine it with the level 16 talent for 9 seconds of 50% physical damage reduction to your tank or whoever is getting focused

Angels are beings of spirit and willpower, as opposed to demons flesh and blood. Their 'physical forms' are literally just light (or bending light so there is an absence) and sound, they use armor as a means representing a physical form.

It's *usually* pretty hard to damage an angel because you're literally trying to hurt an intangible soul, but well, demons are special and their polar opposite thus the armor.

Malthael and Auriel should explode on death then.

Jaina's kit isn't even good in the current meta, I don't know where you get this "her kit and trait are too strong" from. If she didn't have mana issues she still wouldn't be good.

Nah. The skin color depends of what the persons lack what angels represent

>Tyrael: First justince then wisdom
black people lack that

>Auriel: Hope
I assume germans are in a hopeless situation now so she is true aryan then

Blackthorne cucking Thrall when

guess silver is average non-retarded player?

>Looks like diamond

no wonder people in diamond are so trash,they are actually silvers

if you just finished placements for the first time it's way more dependent on qm than how you actually perform

I was playing with bronze 5 players at the start of them cause my qm winrate was ass, placed like silver 2 by the end of it

>guess silver is average non-retarded player?

Hahaha. No. You're so retarded you don't even know the mistakes you're making.

yea first time placements
you right,i dont even like the genre

Ahaha, no.
Average, mostly not retarded players are Plat. Diamond for actual average people
It's only Masters+ wherer people get good

Anything below Gold is just various levels of "fucking kill yourself" tier.

>underrated
>lowest winrate

I only take it against Butcher so I slap it on whoever's getting charged.

...

>Ally picks abba
>Weak ass push
>Doesn't body soak
>Monstro

Gee, I'm so glad to have a marginally better experience gain and 3 little stingyies and a paper shield in every team fight.

abas who dont understand bodysoaking should be banned

If your tank is really a tank you shouldn't need to hardly do anything to him regarding survivability.

>deflecting a Li-Ming's disintegrate
is there anything more satisfying?

>Lowest winrate
It's like saying Genji is shit because his winrate is low. This guy requires some skill to play you know
Slapping 50 armor for 4,5 seconds on a target with pretty low CD can do amazing things

Why not? Sgt. Hammer is pretty squishy

Silver/Gold is the hell gulch.

Slightly less retarded, but infinetly more bad habits.

Filled with Illidans and novas that have gotten out of bronze thinking they are hot shit with garbage heros and shitty drafting.

I can't get out of gold 1

>I don't have to consider positioning, the hero
>Press button to invincible
>Literally no excuse for dieing
>skill

Platinum is a clusterfuck this season. Wait until sappers are fixed too because both mines and towers are in rotation.

genji is ez mode, the hero

just like ming right my dude

You can master Ming in five minutes

maybe a year and a half ago, yeah

>When you find the EXP cap

If only I had my first win of the day bonus

>Teammate gets mad at me and tells me I need to be joining fights

isn't this how you're supposed to play azmo? I don't know what else he can really offer in a fight other than Q spam, laser and minions are kinda weak

What the fuck is this game? The 20 minutes of autism from my team must have killed their braincells because it sure did kill mine.

Your enemy team was real bad at the game, sounds like bronze mmr

Why are Azmodan players so retarded?

WHERE do i find decent players to play with? im real tired of shit players ruining my GAME experience! Please HELP

Not here

I don't understand how to play azmo, like other than black pool I don't see how a Q every 10 seconds adds up in siege damage. Unless you're going laser but really azmodan should not be able to get away with lasering down buildings solo even during curse

>quickmatch

There's two kinds of Azmodan players.

The first kind picks him for maximum autismo splitpushing and does literally nothing else all game but also always insists on the same lane, never leaves, and always gets caught. He's also usually Russian and doesn't talk or ping.

The second kind tries to teamfight in melee range with the laser and dies and spergs out at everyone.

>someone please carry me
No

>Now arriving at Hanamura

>Open chest right as game started
>Come back, suddenly have 6 chests

Did I out jew Blizzard?

you're legitimately retarded

>HANAMURA IS FINE. I DONT CARE THAT THEY REMOVED SAPPER SPAWNS AND BECAUSE OF THAT U CAN BE CAMPED FOR ETERNITY WITHOUT THE GAME ENDING.
>THIS LITERALLY ONLY HAPPENS TO "SHITTERS" (AND MAYBE THE OCCASIONAL TEAM OF GRANDMASTERS AND PROFESSIONAL/EX-PRO PLAYERS)

>Mains
Kill yourself and make this world a better place

>Hanamura hasn't been disabled

What a good fix, people loved hanamura so much they get to play on that map for even longer!

>Vaginal grasping claws designed specifically to hold a human male at the waist and milk him of all his protein DNA material

Why did they think making hanamura longer would make it better? Ever before the dumbass idea of taking out the sapper for the infinite games.

...

>[hatred intensifies]

>Quick Match retardation
you're desperate

Lord of the Clans characters when

I hope people keep griefing like this so blizzard deletes hanamura
