>Where can I find fellow GM players stuck in gold because me bunga team?
"/join Veeky Forums" in game chat

Previously:

When go Q build on Valla and when W?

>nova spends entire teamfights afk waiting for low hp heroes to lasthit with snipe
>hammer absolutely refuses to unsiege and stays put while a punisher punches her to death

>When to go Q
When the enemy has a lot of blind
>When to go W
Tomb of the spider queen

I thought we'd have garrosh info why did Veeky Forums lie AGAIN?

Can you VP the core on Hanamura/Towers of Doom and prevent it from taking damage from enemy rockets?

>when you are unga but your team is bunga

actually i am bunga and my team is unga

Why the fuck do I have to give money to twitch just to get some HGC portraits?

So much blizzshekels leftover from playing wow and nothing to spend it on in hots because I have so many fucking shards.

Q for burst or vs blinds, also on BOE
W for waveclear maps/tomb/infernal or whenever you can keep your hatred up. always go W if paired with auriel on any map.

never go aa build. its shit.

>q build
boe, or at least take Monster Hunter at 1
>w build
whenever you feel like it, especially if you have auriel since the aoe damage gives her lots of heal juice

how do you guys level cho'gall? just asking randoms?
>interesting skin on heroe i dont enjoy

Play with friends. You do have friends, don't you?

Start playing Lunara. Fun fun fun

>don't que support
>get team with no support vs a team iwth tyrande
Thanks blizz

>friends into hots
no , every match i wonder why i'm playing it honestly

How do you do it /v/? How do you stay positive when nearly every game you get at least one total idiot who throws the game?

by finding a way to avoid caring about individual games outside of my personal performance within them

or just taking a break and realizing how much fun other things are

I win those

>zul'jin goes in to kill zagara
>3 people show up to gank him
>I hook him to safety before he gets the kill
>he gets blasted by a stealth tyrande
>"WTF I HAD THE KILL"
God I fucking hate people

Zul'jin just wants to press R man before he dies. Don't bother saving him, he might get some value out of it

did you try not being a manchild who gets mad about losing a video game

>making way for da bad guy when da bad guy wanna give axe instead
come on mon

I mount up and look at my Happy Cloud.

I tried but your mom wouldn't let me.

how do i malthael

spam the fartcloud out
when you see a good opportunity W in and press R
now the whole enemy team is marked so when you press Q you get infinity hp and therefore you are tanky as fuck
hope your team follows up

Stick a needle in my dickhole while thinking hots is still better than having a needle in my dick

God DAMN Li Ming is fun.

By expecting them to throw the game and do passive aggressive remarks that proves me right. If they try to prove me wrong I still win.

desu I feel like even on support I can carry a lot of games so it doesn't really bother me. You have to know what macro decisions to make for the team, most of the time people listen

if you could have duplicates of the same hero in the same team, what would be the strongest comp?

5 samuros

does lazer azmo win vs leoric in lane?

That depends entirely on whether Leoric lands/holds W and whether he has E up to get out of dodge. Which is pretty easy given how much laser slows Azmo early, countering Leoric W's one weakness. I'd say Leoric wins given equal skill players and no ganks. I'm gonna guess Azmo can't do shit after Leoric hits 4 and gets Fealty though.

WTF I thought we could get Sun's Out chests until the 28th? The fuck is going on Blizz?

what happens if one picks gall in ranked
and the enemy teams bans cho?
>20 catchaps later
i should leave

2 or 3 azmos would be pretty fuckin ridiculous
after 10 you would just always have every single lane pushed up to the enemy fort
a team of 5 cassias would be funny since they all benefit from each others' blinds
5 hammers would let you enjoy the authentic terran-vs-terran experience
5 genjis or 5 mings would also be crazy since you get 5x the resets
5 rag means the enemy team can just never push because of constant molten cores and lava waves

you cant do that

you can only pick chogall when your team has two back-to-back picks and you take both at once

>ming thinks she cant die to my chromie Qs because of spell armor
>doesn't know my auto attacks hit just as hard as my Q

>I'm so good, I asspound myself.
GLADOS hero?

Ming doesn't have spell armour, and how can your AA hit as hard as your Q?

>Ming doesn't have spell armour
Yes she does

>and how can your AA hit as hard as your Q?
Bronze talons

Ming gets spell armor on 1
Chromie gets massive AA boost on 2

this is the average competence level of hots' playerbase, everyone

>Ming doesn't have spell armour
bronze detected

>Ming doesn't have spell armour, and how can your AA hit as hard as your Q?

>Li-Ming doesn't have spell armor
This guy.

Also; Bronze Talons on 2

>turned in 70% of the team's coins
>not MvP
lmao?

>turn in 7 coins out of 10
>how am I not MVP guize?

ye that's what i asked

>mvp

who
cares

because you're gay. go back to sucking dick

>Implying I play Anal sluts like Li Ming
I only play as a mage when I want to ORC the enemy team

>implying you're not a faggot

Good damage control user, tell me more!.

>good team vs good team and good matchup
>win

>bad matchup
>lose

>bad team
>lose

>bad team and bad matchup
>lose

Man I sure do love me those video games

>not knowing the basic capabilities of all heroes
you're one of those guys who uses fend on a deflecting genji and wonder why you die arent you

MVP is basically KDA
If you turned in 900 gorillian coins it doesn't matter if someone has more kills and less deaths than you

>I don't know her kit because I'm not a shitter
>doesn't know li ming has spell armour or that chromie can AA nuke you
>not a shitter

>D.va has been nerfed into complete dogshit for ranked but still fucking trashes qm because she gets put against no warrior teams

why the fuck is it like this?

He would need to know what Fend is first

>play bad
>lose
Explain this one hotsbabs?

Sure

Filthy is the anal slut Li-Ming, pure is the Gul'dan who shall destroy your enemies with untold power. He shall deal a huge amount of DOT or sustain damage on your enemies, he will fear them and break them.
No, I'm not stupid to the degree where I attack Genji with a deflect or Zarya with a shield.

Because shitters gonna shit, she literally is the Murky of Warriors, both of her health bars are crap and her mech damage fucking sucks so the only thing she has is half of the warrior's purpose which is to be a fire magnet.

because fuck that bitch

Cassia's E

>first game I'm stitches with nova, butcher zul and aba
>vs chromie, mura, tyrande, zeebro and a fuckboi
Yeah good luck winning that

>second game, play xul on bhb, soak top two lanes, leave team bot
>they're 4 people
>stukov and assassins
>they can't push for shit
>three people are trying to counter me
>team can't win 4v2
>never turns in
>leaves the captain completely alone, allowing the enemy team to cap
>lose

>third game
>fuck you I'm not going to waste my time on this, 0 deaths azmo, 140k siege, 28k exp, team bronzebrawled all game mid and fed all game
>11 deaths medivh, 10 deaths uther

GEE
IT'S ALMOST AS IF BAD GAMES HAPPEN

WEIRD, HUH?

how do i subscribe to this blog

By killing yourself

>dragon map
>enemy team gets dragon around level 20
>tell my team to let them end it
>they go for keeps instead of core
>think it will end in another 5 minutes when they get the objective again
>they are complete retards and don't just secure the objective
>takes forever but they get the dragon
>rushes in straight at core all alone
>dragon dies when core is at 60% and a couple of them die so they back off
>game finally ends at 31 minutes when they get the dragon again
Surrender vote when? It was clear we were not going to win like 10 minutes into the game thanks to the team comps QM shat out

>first game
bullshit
>second game
>losing bhb
entirely your fault
>third game
>afk xp gain azmodan wonders why his team lost while being a man down
typical shitter

Even if team is bunga, you bunga along with them fuckface

I like to see a graphic with the differences between difficult and fun of using a hero

i'd like tot see a graphic explaining what the fuck this post means

I'd like to see a graph of your IQ

Protip: try inserting difficulty where that user wrote difficult

dont bully me

>willful dishonesty
Nope you lying sack of shit,
Stealth has already been addressed as to why it's OP and harmful for the game.

Stuns are imbalanced as they basically serve as an 'i win' button in too many circumstances, allow no counterplay, because they allow someone to rape you with impunity while you can sit there and do NOTHING in response, which is self-evidently bad game design and shouldn't be present in any game. Stun, as well as Stealth, can be reworked to allow for counterplay, provide a balanced reward for the risk involved (clicking a button), and not be so anti-fun as to be harmful to the health of the game.

Ranked mode should of course exist, but not exclusively as the tedious, boring Draft/Ban mode. Blizzard should have a blind pick teams mode so people can actually play who they want to play, and not have to balance Blizzard's game for them by wasting 5 minutes before each match with 'bans' which is the single most asinine thing in any competitive game.

there is nothing wrong with genji

stop

>>>>self-evidently
not an argument

>reveal Garrosh will be next hero
>reveal no other info for an entire week
>don't put him on ptr for two weeks

They already said he is going to be playable in that china con this week.

no one cares about that orc like no one even remembers who he was

when are they going to add reaper

I hope there's more to Garrosh's release, like a new map or something. Whatever happens there's gamescom at the end of august so thats another chance to reveal a cool character or two, last year I believe we got Medivh and Gul'dan revealed.

>more overshit
arent from round here are ya boy

>lorefags STILL caring which franchise a character comes from
get out of my thread and go waste your time writing fanfiction or something, jesus

This build was fun as fuck. Instead of mindlessly rightclicking and later taz'dingo-ing, you actually depend on your abilities to do most damage.

no :)

>overwatch niggers think they matter
valla skin

>This build was fun as fuck. Instead of being useful, you're actually a piece of shit

I'll never understand this mentality

stop taking regen talents retard
but yeah the Q talents at 1 and 7 are fun

we desperately need reaper, mercy, ana, winston, and mei

>regen talents
>not even going AP build to make them worth it
why

literally the only one there that even has a chance of being added is Winston
The rest are overlapped out of existence or absolute super mega aids cancer or both

Alt to 4 is either the hardest quest in the game or boring ass attack speed.

Alt to 13 is more speed that you won't need against an ensnared opponent, or an incredibly niche and underused pick.

They've confirmed they want to add Mei at some point though.

you will not prevent mei the god from being added
rev up those blizz letters boi

Just because some blue posted they'd like to doesn't mean ti will happen.

its going to happen, sorry user maybe next year they'll add your waifu

>Blizzard rep who literally works on the game and has inside info says they want to add her
>Just because they say so doesn't mean it'll happen

>Random guy #86594 on Malaysian candlemaking imageboard says they won't add her
>They won't add her, 100%, unquestionable
