1st for

BIG

ORC

COCK

If orcs are the niggers and goblins are the kikes, what are the mudslimes? What are the poo in loos?

>deposit two coins in the Nexus Bank of Red Team
>get 16 coins out
Gotta say, these interest rates are great.
I'm bad at math, sorry.

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

I've been the user saying add Garrosh ever since pretty much beta, I'm actually really excited for this game again for once.

Orcs are mongolians.

Ret pally when?

Tirion would be pretty neat.

>I've been the user saying add Garrosh ever since pretty much beta
You're not alone.

I see you too are a man of taste, good going user.

Release garrosh already so these husbando faggots can shut the fuck up

is there anything more infuriating

winning when your team is shit because then they think they did good and will learn bad habits forever

sounds like you are an easily butthurt manchild

seriously are you one of those manlets who autismally whined about "gg ez" in overwatch until blizzard actually added a word filter for it

Everything should include a personally customizable wordfilter by this point really, at least until the new generation of spastics can learn to actually form coherent sentences that aren't memay buzzword slurries.

>animal husbandry rexxar
>already died twice before taking the talent

Ok!

Honestly I thought it was funny as fuck when they added the filter, it never really bothered me either way. People still spam gg ez even more now so it doesn't make a difference

We lost.

>Silver league
>Malf+Stukov+Varian
>losing to an Aba team with no wave clear other than Tass
I'm sorry but you are so wrong.

i thought the filter was pretty funny
but before that, the angry nerds filling the entire board on reddit with complaints and madposts about getting ggez'd at were way funnier

No it happened. It happened because Stukov kept 1v1ing the Tassadar.

It happened because Artanis kept getting tilted by their Abathur

It happened because Varian wasn't good at Varian.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

>Losing to Tassadar+Aba+Tracer

understandable, not many people are good at dealing with a hypercarry Tracer, especially if Varian decided to be dumb and go anything other than taunt, and Jaina wasn't saving Blizzard for it.

Double support with Stukov seems quite overkill though

Just picked her up today and holy fuck she's fun

>Wastes waves and towers like nothing
>Great mobility
>Surprisingly good against assasins and tanks
Her arrow ult tops it all off though, there's literally nothing better than shooting one at an enemy at the far side of a team fight that thinks they're out of danger and wasting them

>especially if Varian decided to be dumb and go anything other than taunt
He went Arms

>3 divers
>22 minutes in
>guldans level 1 Q is 30/40
>he has rain

Why even try to win games.

>anything other than taunt versus tracer

I notice this trend to, I think I need to steal Varian away from people in draft so they go fucking taunt

>especially if Varian decided to be dumb and go anything other than taunt
Silver pub Varian. Greater than 50% chance he went Twin Blades because muh dps.

If rexxar uses the garden of terror or dragon knight, what happens to his bear?

>drafting
>"Let me butcher and I'll carry us"
>"no let me Varian and I'LL carry us"
>I got nine kills last game
>realize Varian intends to go DPs and ask someone to pick a tank since I'm support
>dude hovers abathur even though it's mines
I am so glad someone on the other team was afk and dropped out of the draft because that saved me a good 10minutes of my life

When Blizzard gonna release "My internet is stable and i am not gonna leave computer in next 20-30 minutes" queue ? Where is nothing worse than leavers, and where is no escape form them. QM, League - doesnt matter pop, and guy just gone, enjoy playing 4 vs5.

why not just mark games as "safe to leave" after one guy quits
the first guy gets leaver queue, everyone else can leave for free
that's what dota does

She disappears

Happens often enough to both teams so it's probably 4v4 more often than you think

gg :)

Legal in Canada

Right when blizzard fixes "your logs, despite ingame freezes, show no problems, but its still you ;^)"

>so it's probably 4v4 more often than you think
>our genji leaves
>their stitches stays

Can be worse

I think partly because Blizzard doesn't want anyone to quit games, ever, because 5v4 stomps still get boring even if it's a free win, and also probably don't want to let people think their bullying a person into quitting worked.

>because 5v4 stomps still get boring even if it's a free win

>tass, BW, stukov, sonya, tracer
>enemy doesnt matter because lol rofl whatever let sonya bumfuck everything
Matchmaking is really, really, really weird.

They're doing a crappy job of it but that doesn't change their motivation.

Is there not like an indicator of how long void prison lasts? I always throw whatever AoE I have like a half second too early/late and get nothing

Doesnt matter, because zeratul can cancel it, iirc

It's four seconds. Learn to fucking count. youtube.com/watch?v=fZ9WiuJPnNA

Watch your goddamn sesame street.

Predict his kit /hotsg/

zeratul has a button to end it early, he is the one who should be timing the wombo combo

Xul is too strong of a duelist right now against AAers, Cursed Strikes needs a major nerf

Hamstring rend and execute in some way with 25 base armor

t. Samuro

>telling others to count when you can't

>hamstring
but butcher already has that

Sonya says hello
and every semi competent range

you count to 4 so that the 0-1s delay of your own ult times perfectly with VP's end you MORON

a real one nigger

Disarm

>hero has no weapon
???

that's retarded
just put the ult down and let zeratul time it
as long as he knows the timing for your ult it will be much better than "eh it'll go off sometime within a second after VP ends, i hope nobody has mobility skills"

>he takes the squid off Krakenova

>deflect the reaper's curse
>parry the poison
???

A silence + they cant attack

So basically a polymorph only we won't call it one?

When you disarm someone you transform him into a sheep?

When you disarm someone you prevent him from casting spells?
I wouldn't mind a no-autos unique CC (in fact didn't they say they had to program something new for Garrosh) but silence is nonsensical.

that's what taunt is basically

Taunt is more like a stun except your autoattacks continue.

poly is stun except you can move
taunt is stun except variant takes damage

Anyone wanna play with a silver 3 shitter? trying to get better only good with Arthas Dehaka Greymane stiches atm.

>silver 3
>good with X hero
Uhh

shhhhh dont worry about it

Literally how?
Tracer is trash, it's not possible to get any kills with her.
Must be a hacker.

>valeera on team in qm
>she has less than 30k hero damage and 50k siege damage
>at 27:30
i had more hero damage than her as brightwing

Is stukov worth 750 gems? I don't really want to burn 15k gold on him and i still have 1k gems left and don't really want to blow them on loot crates since they are shit loot anyway

she's great in QM when the enemy team gets a comp without good CC
she also combos extremely well with tassadar

I think the current complaints about her are that Genji typically fills the "mobile survivable assassin who can dive to finish off heroes" role a lot better

the hotsg advice has been to spend gems on stimpacks

also stukov will drop to 10k 2 weeks after he was released (as all new heroes do)

I'm most impressed about deerfuckers who got their wish in game

Stimppacka are not worth it for me because i play one or two games per day, and sometimes not at all

No way, I'd save those gems for some deal or something or Garrosh/Kel'Thuzad if you don't want to spend gold on them.

Shit, but i don't want to wait another week to play stukov ;_; i want to push people across the map so bad

>doesn't always have at least 15k gold just in you want a new hero.

pleb

I have 17k but i'm not wasting extra 5k which i can spend on crate rerolls

It's like 3 days till he gets down to 10k on tuesday. We've waited for him for a year, you can do it user.
Save the gems for a hero you actually must get first day, since gem prices are always the same, without first two weeks tax. Or a new skin. Though they aren't actually all available for gems on release like Blizz promised, filthy jews. Only actual new skins and only the primary color or in a bundle. I wanted that fucking D.Va Ghost Kerrigan tint but it's doritos-only and 2400 at that. Hope it drops to 1600 on tuesday too.

the skin prices are a joke, if someone already has a mecha kerrigan skin, then who the fuck wants to spend abother full 2400 to get just another tint of it

AXE

I haven't dropped below 50k in over a year I think. Own all the heroes too. I've been playing since alpha though, without breaks bigger than two weeks during summer trips or something.

It's nice knowing you have enough money for 3-4 heroes at release at any time, even if life happens and you can't play for a month or a few. But then I don't, because I like having that reserve more than actually buying the heroes...

Someone on reddit had a suggestion that if you own at least one version of a skin, all the other tints of that skin drop in price and rarity for you. That could work decently

At first I didn't think I was excited for Garrosh. I kind of rolled my eyes and went "Eh, another orc who's going to compete with Varian in 3 weeks when he's nerfed"
but then I realized how fucking great its going to be to kill Thrall, Varian, and Sylvanas as Garrosh.

You forgot Jaina

I have literally millions of suggestions, doesn't mean shit

This is wrong, no one on reddit made such a claim. I did this on Veeky Forums first. They stole it. You would know if you weren't a fucking redditard, get the fuck out.

Send my regards to your city, magic whore.

Why is Vile Infection 175 stacks?

How are you enjoying HoTS? Especially compared to other mobas? Im like it because its much less rage inducing than dota or lol

Because it was too easy to complete earlier. Dead rush at 7 massively improves ability to complete if you're diligent. 175 / 7 = 25. You need 25 full waves to complete, if doublesoaking thats about 7 minutes worth of catching waves.

PLS
/VEEGEE/
How do I get better at Valla?

I honestly feel like theirs other assassins that do her job 10x better. But maybe I'm missing something.
