Heroes of the Storm General - /hotsg/

At least it wasnt all chromies

As my friend and I got into our match, he actually said "Watch it be all Chromies or something."

So yeah, it wasn't all Chromie I guess.

He's shit.

He's good and strong and on character

>team player - no deaths while outnumbered

wow, never seen that on the mvp screen before

That's the consolation prize when literally everyone is shit but like two people. That's like "AVENGER- Avenged 10 deaths" and then you realize it's because you died 10 times and it's literally a medal for having a 1:1 KD ratio

Talent The Seem like they are missing form heros:

Attacks reduce Cooldown of Frostmourne

Xul's roots can spread once like Kael's bomb

Illidan: Already blind, Active: Cleanse a blind once every 60 seconds

Got news for ya gents

...

>Xul's roots can spread once like Kael's bomb
Are you fucking insane

>Do another
>All Sonya

...

Kael, Sylvana, and Probius are all fucking niggers on that map.

ALL I DID

I DID FOR THE HORDE

Get more heroes

You could easily see all your tanks banned and picked already. Dehaka is banned often

Get Tychus and Valla minimum

Get some Melees with CC

that's not who I own, just who I'm most comfortable on

>Li Ming's rack in the new skin
>pantie shot from the front
i like

Get mura or etc, an aa hero like tychus(also good to have in roster vs double tank) and another melee, I'd recommend zeratul

When you realize that Night Elves are the true Africans of WoW. They have little understanding of engineering, they were born in a place that just poops out all the food and shit they need. Basically those blue people from Avatar. They can't understand trade or commerce as they don't even know what a natural resource is. They are basically doomed to one day become totally irreverent for anything other that fuck slaves to technologically advanced races.

One day they will be colonized and properly dicked down into nothing when they send a bunch of wooden giants against an aerial napalm strike.

>HGC will be broadcast on Disney

I guess we know Blizzard's intended audience now. Game officially dropped.

Disney is going esports with hgc and evo.

>Eventual corporate buyout of Blizz by Disney
>Teen Titans Go version of Diablo

Amazon: Ugh, Barbarian, did you eat all the health potions again? >:(

BUUUURP: Me sorry, me huuungry

*Audience erupts in laughter*

What's wrong with Disney

>Not knowing only children watch e"""""sports""""" to begin with

avenger isn't based on k/d
it's for killing an enemy right after they kill an ally

The future is bright for the next generation.

i don't know how you could play this game after playing literally any other moba and not see that
it is very clearly designed to be easier and have high casual appeal

I have 2,000 gems saved up from leveling. Do i spend them on 25 chests?

no

>anub can't solo tank
shit PTR says

garrosh's tosses feel so bad for the fact that you basically cannot exist in a minion wave if you want any kind of accuracy

did they nerf ragnaros? wtf are these changes

esportsbettingreport.com/esports-fan-demographic-research/

>it is very clearly designed to be easier and have high casual appeal
What does easier and casual have to do with age? Just because it's a better/more fun version of Lol and Dota doesn't mean it's for kids

That's fine. He shouldn't be a massive lane bully too. Just flank and learn to hit your Q.

He is better as an off tank its possible but he blows up pretty fast unless most of the enemy is mages.

he has as much health as tychus, so if he's versus people like zul'jin raynor he'll melt just as fast as tychus does

not just him as a lane bully but he can't even throw teammates if they're in a lane, which leads to stupid situations like "oh yea m8 sorry you died, I tried to toss you but I did save our archer minion"

he has lotsa shields though

The shield isn't that huge so it doesn't take much to burn through it. Especially if he fucks up and misses his stuns.

Why is it that grabbing on Altar on ToD takes just long enough that an abathur mine will arm and cancel the grab, but grabbing tribute is just a bit faster, and thus the mine will trigger after it's grabbed?

This basically.

Anub feels tanky because he can put a big delay on any incoming damage.And mitigates lots of magic.

Anub will blow up fast in a situation where his stuns have failed, but that is only if you are a bad Anub.

Also if there's a Tychus or something chewing you up, cocoon and that's a problem solved.

Anub is a Tank because he has CC for fucking days and intate in a way that forces enemies out of being able to stand and deliver damage. On top of stuns, cocoon will soak enemy attention.

But yea optimally I'd follow him up with Leoric or something.

FOR THE HORDE

you spend them on 2 months of stimpacks you idiot

Is there a name for people who queue up with Tassadar in parties like this?

winner

I'm a newish casual player, who has tested about half the roster. And so far I've only liked two heroes, Hammer and Chromie.

With Hammer I like how clear her role is, to bring down the forts. And she can shoot from afar, boosting away if there's danger.

Chromie is somewhat similar: I like her traps, and sniping from the backline feels more fun than trying to be in the front.

But are there any other heroes that I might enjoy?

who gonna win

Li-Ming has pretty long range but slightly less than those 2 which should hopefully ease you into being less of a pussy.

You wanna just sit back and poke and prod at things without being in danger?
You could try nova with the snipe master build
Sieging Wrath Azmodan, too

Li-Ming feels so Li-Mited... I always die with her so easily, and the three missiles are harder to aim. And that orb thingie doesn't pierce, it just bursts at the first target.

Yeah, Asmodan might be interesting, I'll definitely check him out soon!

Abathur, because you're rarely if ever in a position where you take damage.

>Hammer to bring down forts
no, this isn't her role
>Long range heroes
Are you not confident up close or what? Afraid of dying? Feel more safe from afar? Try Azmodan, Abathur, or Ming.

don't feel afraid to miss, it's not like mana matters unless you're a support

Is Chen decent again after the passive change?

He almost never runs out of brew now

>i first pick valeera
>opponenets picks counter stealth heroes
>my team stomps anyways

one of the few instances i would love all chat just to hear the rage

They were bad! So were we, but they were even worse! We boss stole with a ravage and maelstrom.

i tried watching the meme blizz keeps shilling in the bnet client
but xir had a seizure while rawring
so uh

>tfw you go the targeted detnoion talent on stukov and always get it in team fights
>mfw killing people by detonating aids
>mfw lurking arm wombo comobo team wipes
Seriously Stukov is the greatest thing ever in this game

chen doesnt have any passives

>no major hero reworks
>new hero is a tank who doesn't do much besides throw people

Weakest patch in a long time desu senpai.

>tank who doesn't do much
spoken like a true assassin/specialist cuck

>Making rag viable again
>possible 800+meat
idk seems pretty fun famala

What did they do to rag?

Made Meatball build a little better
New talent for lowers CD for meatball too
Made E build a little better
Buffed Lava wave

buffed blast shield reworked his talents a little bit, and gave his focus attack that stacks with his Q and Q quest.

Blue obviously, if you keep tanking damage. How did you even manage to do this? Also now I want a brawl where minions and mercs are doubled/tripled in quantity

Throw the dummies into the forts and wait

Kerrigan is cute, cute!

I got this in a lootbox. Pretty pleased despite having loads of skins for her.

the focused attack talent gets 1s reduced cd for every meatball tick

>People actually like this skin

Meme skins are always terrible the only thing worse is team skins.

...

>They didn't give her a ditzy school girl accent.

Wasted potential.

>actual chromie pool party
who thought this would be a good idea

why would a professor in the same section as a cheerleader and geek

Honestly it will be quick so I don't really mind.

i am beginning to reach critical mass

Li-Ming is so easy man what are you talking about, she is my go to "really need a burst mage and I hate this role" character

Here's how to Li-Ming
1. Be near wall
2. Spam the fuck out of Orb and missles
3. Any problem at all, TP over wall and throw more orbs
4. Get push Ult when needed
5. Remember that your range is second only to Chromie, you can shit purple all day from behind walls
6. You can bypass wave clear all together and just shit orbs and missiles all over towers early game
7. What even is mana? I don't even know why they bother to give the newer characters mana bars since they literally never run out, it's like a mechanic they forgot

tl;dr : MAKE. PURPLE.

>hammer and Chromie

Sounds like you have absolutely no confidence in engagements and these two heroes will breed bad habits.

Abathur

Behold, the most annoying camp of all time.

Valeera did all the work, but between Murky's Octograb and immortality, D.va's immortality and my random lucksacks, the enemy must've hated everything about this game by the end of it all.

Also, I got to be the highlord at least twice.

I've seen more annoying.

Making an entire comp full of "this is who dies last" is the most annoying shit ever.

Chen
Khaz with Palm
Varain
Zuljin
Murky

Absolute nightmare. We had a Slyv that took mind control.

>lose every game with KT with low hero death and top damage

feels like he's kinda useless if you don't have people that will finish people off instead of dying 1 by 1 before the teamfight actually starts

>Kael
>useless
no

he means Kel'Thuzad

...

That would be basically a new ultimate with how silly it could be.

>no, this isn't her role
Technically that is what makes her a specialist - her ability to attack buildings without getting hit back. Her kit also isn't "aggressive" enough to be an assassin; Her and raynor get compared a lot, and raynor while not necessarily having the ability to run you the fuck down is more than happy to move a fight around. Hammer more or less has to prepare ground and wait for you to come to her.

>Take hammer in hero league as lastpick
>team starts screaming GG, says I'm countered by the enemy tyrael pick
>team proceeds to flame through rest of draft and start of game
>explain I wanted something ranged, with more hp than raynor (hammer has 400more baseline), with giantkilling potential, and more range than tychus
>gold league shitters start screaming at me for not sieging up at all times
>try to explain that only bad hammers stay sieged literally always, hammer is actually pretty mobile when unsieged and I don't want diablo to just walk up and flip->charge me
>flaming continues
Team spent so much time flaming that they eventually lost, despite my best efforts. everything I did was wrong, sieging was wrong, unsieging was wrong, soloing camps was wrong, not-soloing camps was wrong, defending was wrong, pushing was wrong. ultimate choice was wrong (went orbital BFG because enemy team didnt have sylv and there's a good chance that haunted mines goes quite long due to low damage on objective). Team got their shit wrecked by diablo charges in the mines, and didnt control the map outside of mines, and would do stupid shit like pick fights 3 levels down, or 19 to 20 outnumbered

I hate teams that flame themselves to losses.
