1st for sgt hammer the fattest and most fertile hero in the game

Wrong, Zagara is most fertile

shoo shoo blizz jew

well, ya got me there boy

I still want to make healthy babies with sgt hammer

>Radament-like skins for Toss heroes
>No actual Radament hero
This is bullshit, Blizz.

>play bribewing on hanamura
>win
I'm glad this map is leaving the rotation

Like that matters.
People thought Novazone basically made the Amazon an impossibility. Yet we still got Cassia.

If Blizzard can come up with a fun kit they want to use then we might get Radament, Blood Raven, Fandral Staghelm or anybody else who has already a skin based on them in the game anyway.

I'm still mad we lost the best novazon tint, it looked more like the D2 amazon than Cassia

shoo shoo blizz jew

I really doubt Radament will be put into the game though. I'm also mad the Blood Raven skin doesn't have anything different like dialogue or effects.

If the mantle of the man-o-war is like that, is it still dangerous to mess with? It doesn't have the tentacles at all, right?

>You will never meme this hard

>filthy greenskins VS the whathefux
40keks

When is Murky good over other specialists?

whens garrosh out lads?

Should be next tuesday.

what the fuck that's in so long

Finally, a good Liming skin. That ETC skin is awesome and Anub is just perfect. A shit new hero but good skins.

when the enemy team has no idea how the fuck to deal with you

Pic in case you want to jew it up on Twitch.

Aint gonna pay over 100 bucks for a shitty mount. This is even worse than Gabens compendium

But you get hots for FREE and all the e-sports is for FREE, are you some kind of communist that doesn't want to support the FREE e-sports?

That much is obvious,thats why i wrote that milestone mount text. All in all whole promotion is 9/11 kikery.

I don't have anything against supporting a game but if we compare this "free" shit to witcher which did cost 60 bucks at release you will see that 1 shitty wolf texture isn't worth the price. It's like going to McD and saying it's ok to pay 20 bucks for a cheeseburger

...

Who the FUCK is firebat? Another nameless starcraft unit?

>solohealer lili when rehgar, auriel, malfurion, literally any healer that's not lili is open
>chases after teammates that are 100% dead with jugs like a dipshit and only results in her dying too
>jugs just gets interrupted by johanna half the time

thanks for the confirmed loss fuckwad

t. blizzard whale

What makes Xul so good right now?

How much will the Mad Axe skin + mount bundle cost in gems?

Good waveclear/camp clear, point and click cc, lots of sustain, reasonably powerful ultimates, refreshable self-shields. pretty good siege damage (specifically the ability to rip like all the ammo out of forts/keeps).

He's a monster at doublesoaking and just has a lot of generalized strengths.

Azmodan is the only character from the whole HotS roster that I can enjoy playing in QM.

I play HL all the time when I am not silenced. QM is fucking shit and people that play it when they have the opportunity to play ranked where people more or less try to win should die from cancer.

First for EXP cap

youtube.com/watch?v=D5D6fJ2FDPA

I have literally lost every ranked game where the other team had a KT, and every time I hover Zeratul to kill him my team goes "nooo pls we need ranged :("

KT then proceeds to literally never die while butcher beats his face against skullcracker muradin

>listening to teammates
hm

kys phil

Double soaks like a mad man.
If his healer is any good his scythe with executioner puts out a surprising amount of teamfight damage
He still pushes harder than Azmo if not answered immediately.

:^)

Garrosh did nothing wrong

So that's how they're called?

As for the tentacles i've read it can only kill fish and other small creatures.

Trait (D) - Seasoned Commander
Press the (1) key to destroy an allied minion and store it into your reserves, up to 10. Press the (D) key to redeploy all stored minions with 30% increased HP and damage. Targetting an enemy unit will cause all redeployed minions to focus on that unit.

Talents can be picked up to further augment redeployed minions and make them more effective based on what you want them to do, whether it's sieging or fighting heroes.

Shit, *redeploy at target location

Blizz should never add an ability that could potentially weaken your lane

>opponent first picks xul
>someone on my team: "gg"
>a player you were matched with has left the game

xul nerfs when

The PTR doesn't have any of the new bundles on it so we don't know yet

You address the warmatron /hotsg/, speak quickly.

enemy has a team that would be cucked by cassia
pick up fish tank and enjoy your 1v5 rampages

At this point I rather ban Xul over Genji or Malthael

yes
it's a guy with a flamethrower who can transform at will into a car with a flamethrower

azmo's deal isn't ultra-hard push (laserbuild kills buildings fast as fuck though)
azmo's deal is super safe push. with his globe he can get 2 lanes pushed up to the enemy fort while standing nowhere near either of them and thus being ungankable.

Worse than D2 Amazon.

>rotate with 4man group
>eat every globe wizard
>outsustain the enemy team hard as fuck
>when you have 10, suicide them all to boss so the enemy team can't get them

I don't recall anybody caring as little for a hero release as Cassia. Maybe she was just overshadowed by 2.0

I was pretty exited, thought blizz had all forgotten about diablo 2

I don't get how Cassia is D2 Amazon. In game they look pretty different and hardly anything Cassia has is from D2. Even the stance is completely fucking stupid and mismatched.

The wooshy noises Fend makes.

I'm playing unrankeds and the matchmaking is awful as shit. I keep getting matching with full stacks when my team is zero stacks or just like 1 stack of two players.

Fuck forced 50% must be stronger in blizzard games.

The MMR of premade groups should be lower. Unless they're vulture accounts.

>Playing with bro
>Only group on team
>Whole team is below rank 70
>Enemy team has a 4man
>Everyone but one guy in that 4man group is 100+, one guy's 243

shoo shoo blizz jew

not much difference between 70 and 243 user
level is just how much time someone's played for, not how good they are
recall that most human beings are complete retards and can spend hundreds of hours doing the same thing without learning or improving

Can we please get a Misha rework? Get rid of the Rexxar pet and buff her to compensate. The pet only holds her back.

Oh my god Jaina is so fucking good what the fuck, literally just blow people the fuck up especially with taunt varian

I can't wait for Garrosh's AoE taunt for that ez ring of frost

the orc pet is pretty and vulnerable in fights, but he's pretty good if misha just sticks him on a control point while she lanes
he also does suprisingly good damage when he can get away with it

Her mana costs are too high.

tfw no feral druid hero

get arcane intellect at 4 you fool

her aoe damage is really good
pick with a jojo or zeratul or etc for maximum power

her problem is that she is squishy, immobile, and has no real way to defend herself. so she has a lot of trouble against meme dive heroes like genji or tracer

Imperius when? Itherael when?

>blizzard cooldown
Meanwhile Li-Ming blows one guy up and goes on a coke fueled spell rampage

Sippy Cup

The difference between easy and medium.

Any Diablofag here, i wanna give it try to the Diablo franchise, is Diablo 3 fun and recommendable for beginners?

Yeah, it's actually pretty easy once you learn the controls. You can get a power level to max level with a season character in a few minutes if you want to get the Malthael mount.

Sure is but Diablo 2 is a better game.
Also Path of Exile is proper D2 successor thats didnt try to turn itself into an Opera

D3 is shit. play D2

I still think I prefer Jaina just cause it's annoying how easily Ming's shots get blocked, either by a tank or just anub beetle

So in a situation where it's like, double warrior protecting a mage, is it better to get someone like Zeratul and gank them or just characters that can deal with the warriors like Zul'Jin and Tychus?

Pick one.

Play Alarak. Press W, Press Q, Press R. Behold, everyone is dead. Probably including you.

Marry Auriel, fuck Mercy. Kill Morales

zeratul can't 100-0 anyone until 20
he can't dive the backline to kill squishies unless you have other poke on your team to get them lowish

I pick both, at the same time

Have you made tribute to your Highlord today, /hotsg/?

DAILY REMINDER THAT 27.07.2017 WILL BE FOREVER REMEMBERED AS A DARK DAY IN ORCISH HISTORY.

youtube.com/watch?v=SVYmPIJt2BI

Blizzard really fucked up with Garrosh's representation in Heroes of the Storm. His abilities and role do not fit his character fantasy in any way. His kit should have been for another character.

Yes, he is fun to play. But he should have been a bruiser, like Artanis, but with burst and less focus on defense and with an ability to force 1v1.

>what Blizzard devs did
Hey guys we plan to release Garrosh somewhere in summer 2017
Fast forward summer 2017
Alright guys just attach some existing kit to Garrosh and release him. And dont forget to make a legendary skin + bike with a bunch of tints

no one fucking cares who the fuck even plays wow

You double nigger did you even read Wolfheart? Garrosh is all about throwing people around and keeping them from running.

>our nova ignored the objective
>hardly helped in team-fights
>threw teammates under the bus
>wanted to give up 5 different times
>constantly complaining in chat
>was only good late-game
Why are Novafags such fags?

why is alarak allowed to declare rak'shir on enemy heroes anyways
you're only allowed to challenge people who are higher ranked than you, so that when you kill them in the duel you get their job

Reading the stats tells me your nova did more work than you did, if you should be mad at anyone it should be raynor

He forces them to challenge him. Dude's so cunning that he can just pull it off. I mean you remember how he became First Ascendant, right?

>15 death Raynor
Oh am I laffin'

>nova
>most avenged deaths
yup. that's a classic nova

you are the true best girl of the nexus mi'lady

Pretty sure if the Highlord decides Rak'shir is the new name for bitchin' executions, nobody's allowed to argue without suffering Rak'shir.

>alarak can declare rak'shir on a bear and a baby murloc

U have reading comprehensions?
Fucking retarded blizzzard jew shill stop sucking so much hotsdev dick

>keeping them from running
>forcing 1v1s

Garrosh did more 1v1s yes lot of them were unfinished and interrupted than throwing around
