You making this post has in of itself shitted and tainted the thread more than anything you mentioned. Kys you

>buy Starcraft 2 packs goys
>you get exclusive Blizz merch
>WoW pet
>ONE Hearthstone pack
>ONE FUCKING HOTS NORMAL CHEST
>10 neetbux each

I idolize Garrosh. He represents the greatest qualities of an orc. To be an orc is to be physically mighty, to be redpilled and to be against all weakness. I will admit that in our modern world it is not easy and that is why there is Garrosh, the warlords, the uruk hai of Isengard, the old horde and many others to motivate you.

I got into HotS in alpha, some time before KTs release and ever since then I have been waiting for the game to let me play as the best guy, Garrosh. Over my time playing hots I have grown to despise it. The game, like everything by blizzard now, is in a really fucking bad state. But I am still waiting for Garrosh (and for a new, interesting competitive game, hopefully an RTS and not by blizzard, they are fucking shit) anyway This teaser is for him, I hope. For the first time I am excited.

My other bets are doomguard or pitlord

Reminder that Garrosh is the perfect candidate for a Bloodseeker ult. Now is Blizzard's chance to eradicate the mobility cancer.

How viable is Murky? Should I ever pick him in HL if I'm really good with him? He works on Garden of Terror

REMINDER: Overwatch heroes were the best thing to happen to this game, and were the sole cause of reinvigorating it and making people actually care.

Anyone who says otherwise is a WoW babby shitter.

REMINDER THAT THIS IS THE SECOND TEASER

GARROSH INCOMING SERVE THE HORDE OR BE CRUSHED BENEATH IT

Reminder Garrosh is Hungarian.
Murky? He has a strong lategame presence,you either focus on him and his team gets an advantage or you ignore him and he shits you to death. In HL he is vulnerable to coordinated teams and dedicated AAs like Valla.

Jesus Christ Hungary

REMINDER: Unless you can post that you are at least Plat, literally none of your concerns or quarrels with the game matter, as you aren't good enough to understand the real problems.

the only worthwhile addition from OW is Dva

I missed you,-kun.

>people still think it's going to be maiev or garrosh

>not maiev
why even live

...

REMINDER:

Only whiny kids think Hanamura is a bad map. Change is good and is a necessary part of keeping this game alive

Don't care about garrosh, honestly its more like Kil Jaeden but thats still a reason to give him BS ult and enjoy genjis screaming after they oneshots themselves with 1 e

>Dark portal
>Gate of Ogrimmar
>Orgrimmar is located in Durotar, a region named after Thrall's dad
>Durotan stepped through the dark portal once

Based half-mongols.

Yeah it's Kil'jaeden, known resident of Orgrimmar.

>my opinion is a fact
>only this type of gamemode is allowed
kill yourself

>Drums of war can be heard in the distance. Someone is coming...

Redpill me on warhead junktion. What is the best strategy for this map? Whenever I play it in QM or unranked everyone just throws the nukes at the nearest fort / keep.

>See Reminder

Ignore this poster

In my opinion Rexxar and Medivh is very strong on that map

Push top, get to 10 first, get boss, drop nukes on core with boss.

sylvanas pve

you dont need to buy a shit game to fap to its porn you know that , right?

Yes change is good but it depends on what kind of change. If you always put peanut butter on your bread and became kind of bored of it. You could either add some cheese to make it taste better or add a huge load of shit and vomit and piss and cum and make it taste gross.

Most people here have won fuck all from the raffle, right?

I know I haven't, but I haven't been playing every day.

1 win ticket per day.

IM COMING!

If Garrosh doesnt have Grom skin on release then they really fucked up.

Orc posting will never end if it's true.

fuck you animefaggot moron
stay the fuck away from the true kult chars
grom will be a hero after garrosh

>IT WILL BE A GROM SKIN
kek how do you feel now /hotsg/?

...

I feel I can safely skip Garrosh. Anyone have a hypothesis on kit? More WoW player class stuff like Varian?

I have enough Warriors and I can't imagine him having enough of a unique gimmick as an assassin.

what's to like faggot?
Only WoDbabs like Garrosh, Vanilla and TBC masterrace realize that no WORLD of Warcradt character not already in the game deserves to get in, because WoW sucks.

It doesn't.

Go out
Indeed, how is he doing nowadays being dead

i actually like hanamura and don't really understand why everyone hates it

it's an interesting change of pace from the typical capture the node/hold the points style maps. we just need a warsong gulch/capture the flag map next.

It's up

>I have enough Warriors
Like how many? 3 of them? Johanna, Anub and what else... Varian?

he said strategy, not heroes

These are all valid per MM:

2+random vs. randoms
2+random vs. 3+randoms
3+randoms vs 4+random
3+random vs. 2+2+random
4+random vs. 2+2+random
4+random vs. 3+2
4+random vs. 5
5 vs. 3+2

Also, premades are given a hefty MMR boost against groups with more randoms. Which is why it really blows being the random + 4 stack as the 4 stack will be criminally retarded.

LOOKS LIKE YOUR ENEMY'S

GA-

RRO

SH.

>Rexxar
Good on the map because there are a lot of camps to clear, can solo a boss and use Misha to scout while taking an nuke or safely block someone else from getting a nuke
>Medivh
Take a nuke, fly to the enemy Keep and nuke them.

I think I own all of them other than Tyrael, Dehaka, Varian and Rexxar.

So, Chen, Johanna, Sonya, Anub, Zarya, Leoric, Artanis, Arthas, ETC, Muradin, Diablo.

Probably forgot some. Fuck it.

REMINDER THAT ACCORDING TO THE LEAK NEXT HERO IS ANA!.

Nah

I played some QM earlier today. These people should not be allowed to have computers.

>"I didnt ask her to waveclear, I asked her to soak so we don't get splitpushed to death by murky".
>"If it's so important why don't you go do it faggot"
So I did, the entire rest of the game as murky splitpushed us to death. Highlights were when I got into the garden terror then immediately detonated it. Chromie only player with a 40% winrate in spite of her 700 games played flipped their shit

Second game wasn't as flamey, but it just defies description. No one did anything that match for any reason. Let's capture a camp, but then not escort it in. Lets start a teamfight! Oh my ult is used time to just walk away now. Lets chase the enemy team halfway down the lane get to a point where they could all die and then just stop.

I don't understand these QM only players, surely you need to have some sort of mental deficiency to get enjoyment out of this wacky shitfest.

...

>when i got into the plant and immediately detonated it

Jesus fuck what a pathetic manbaby

I want to beat the shit of that programmist who did this piece of shit reconnecting system. Just how braindead should someone be to even come up with that idea that to reconnect you have to make bots at 8x speed to replicate what players did in your absence?

he did the right thing

>intentionally fucking over your teammates even when they are dogshit and uncooperative

>programmist

>Highlights were when I got into the garden terror then immediately detonated it
you are a far worse player then those people

>all these fucking literal reddit LE NEXT HERO comments

The progromancers didn't worry about it at first no one is going to wait for you if you disconnect in the 1v1 ladder.

But these are the same people who didn't want to put in chat channels so fuck 'em.

epic reaction gif bro

>butthurt maievfag detected

>Is that thing I no like?? It must be FROM DIFFERENT WEBSITE

If you are this petty than you are just as bad as them.

>get triggered
>sabotage on purpose

Take things that have globals or are strong at duelling. Do not take shit that cannot 1v1 or is otherwise extremely weak.

Artanis is an amazingly solid choice because he basically flat out wins 1v1's and he can do all the camps solo with amateur opponent. Dehaka and falstad can global on top of people, so can ETC if he takes stage dive (protip you should take stage dive). Abathur can be played as a sort of global psuedo-support with microbes and shield talent at 4 he's also capable of taking the firebat camps solo with either survival instincts or regenerative microbes just make sure you're not getting hit by splash damage.

Azmodan can create a lot of passive pressure via trait but isn't as good in fights. Zagara can also get in a lot of easy structure pressure. Other solid choices include things like thrall.

Be capable of winning a fight 1v1.

Early nukes should be used directly on wall so you can get an XP advantage. Don't drop nukes on shit that will die easily. If you have a 'defensive' character like abathur that's often not involved in fights, it is totally fine to just hold onto a nuke so as to do something like defend vs a boss push.

>Let's capture a camp, but then not escort it in.
Really make bunga think

No one was responding to murky at all, he literally had *every fucking camp on the map* before 5 minutes, even the ones on our side, while we were losing soak in two lanes because the 'team' wanted to perma-fight.

It was going to be a loss anyways, it's the sort of thing you can see coming from a mile away.

In hindsight I shouldn't have destroyed the terror. because I ended the match 10k xp short of leveling my hero up. I got a surfboard from the chest

>cucked by maiev once again

when will this torment end?

...

Nobody cares about that, being a dick on purpose is bad and you should feel bad.
No fucking excuses.

IT'S FINALLY TIME

All the discussion about him yesterday hyped me up and now he's coming.

I can't wait to play him every game, feed like shit and be useless but still get MVP because GARROSH DID NOTHING WRONG

Y'know, it actually would have been pretty easy for any half-decent valeera player to go deal with murky. Her silence locks him out of bubble for 2.25 seconds and she can basically guaranteed kill him any time she sees him. Waveclear isn't even a factor.

>using garrote ever

There is no moral high-ground on either side. I just didn't want to be in the game with people like that for any longer than I really had to be.

>Implying Valeera shouldn't use her best spell
Go fuck yourself with a light bulb

So many great heroes in such a short time I'm running out of gold. When will the next Overwatch wave come so my pockets can have a break?

If you're looking for damage on valeera you should go with stun, because her 2 aa's per second equate to more damage from stun than (untalented) ambush or garrote. Ambush should really only be used if you need the movement.

For someone like murky though denying them bubble for 2+ seconds is pretty huge as they'd need to be low in order to kill with just stun.

Cheap shot is almost always the default choice though and you only use the others if you need their utility.

You can skip Garrosh. Your desire for orc dick won't make his kit fun.

>Hemet Nessingwary Hero
>Quest Talents that force the enemy team to complete quests
>Have to kill 30 tigers hidden around the map to get rid of debuffs

You fucking know you want it

Even if he has anti-mobility and dueling abilities?

Like Varian? I mean, hey, if you want to play Varian, you can play Varian. Generic warrior ho!

>I think Mana Burn would be very problematic in our game. It's basically a very unresponsive Silence (as it can take several uses to eliminate the target's mana pool), that lasts an impractically long time (likely 30+ seconds).
>The result is that it feels extremely punishing for the enemy, and even the person doing the burning doesn't feel like they had a big impact most of the time. I greatly prefer Silence to accomplish that goal because it's really sharp and reliable (the moment I hit you, you're locked out of spells), but also not punishing beyond that initial window (after a few seconds of Silence I can play my hero again) - at least assuming you weren't killed during that time.
thoughts?

Mana Burn can fuck right off.

One of the things I like about HoTS vs other games in the genre is you can actually use your abilities to help with waveclear and such, the mana regen is generous enough that you don't need to autoattack for 20 minutes because abilities use half 20% of your mana and regen is non-existent.

Agreed, its a crap ability. If you wanted to do something more effective either add damage based on ability usage or %dmg on max mana pool without burning mana.
