I AM GOING TO MARRY JAINA!

BUSTED

the second cast on chains is way too long

pretty sure that will get nerfed soon

>FemDiablo
>Dreadlord Jaina
>Demon Auriel
>Succubus Kerrigan
>Butcher
Semon Demons the team!

How do I not die as assassins like Jaina? Got too used to playing tanks with shitloads of HP like Garrosh. They don't die from a stray sandblast.

Imagine what it must've felt going to Gamescom and this absolutely shitty looking statue was the first confirmation of Kel'thuzad.
and only few hours after that watching the spotlight with equally shitty Kel'thuzad new model

>FemDiablo
>Dreadlord Jaina
>Demon Auriel
>Succubus Kerrigan
>__Mei__

Official boards and pebbit already want to nerf KT.

I always get really angry reading these boards. People are so stupid there. Yet Blizzard actually listens to these people and posts there.

Consider suicide

kt gets resurrection at lvl 4, lunara gets wisp movement speed

fun and balanced

seriously, plebbit has at least some value in the fact, that with the community being soo large, every piece of news and leak ends up there in a matter of minutes

But dear god, official Blizzard forums are so beyond retarded, it's as if you dunked deep into the ocean of shit, opened your eyes and mouth, swallowed the amount to kill 3 horses and saw the face of down syndromes satan himself. I won't allow myself to believe that anyone beyond 12 years of age posts on the official forums, because I can't live in a world where people are this stupid and spoiled

What's this game's TI/Worlds? And where are the vods?

I haven't played this game in ages. Have they fixed tyraels deformed hands yet? Last I remember he was modeled pretty badly, not even properly holding his sword..

>the Dreadlord Jaina taunt

uhh... lads...

how long before this gets altered/censored

What is her taunt? I now about poledance, but what's lewd with her taunt?

>taunt

I meant dance.

That statue is pretty shitty, but the ingame model is fine.

Man Kel'Thuzad is NOT right. It's like taking fucking Alarak with 300% sadism and then giving him a Stitches hook.

How can you defend a guy having by far the highest burst in the game, and having it on a ridiculously low cooldown, and having it be AoE, AND giving him the ability to set it up and execute it by him fucking self?

That voice is really nice...

>How can you defend a guy having by far the highest burst in the game, and having it on a ridiculously low cooldown, and having it be AoE, AND giving him the ability to set it up and execute it by him fucking self?

by making all of his skills skillshots with extremely long castpoints, and balancing his increasing strength as he progresses through his quest with decreasing combo ability as structures are destroyed

By just applying CC and bursting him down.

Dodge the chain.

Don't stand in the fucking AOE.

I swear, every time a new character comes out, everybody complains about them being OP as a means to justify how they're shit at the game.

It's happened every single time a new hero was released.

He gets a globe quest that will take several minutes (more or less depending on the map) to complete at level 4. You'll see it used once maybe twice in a game.

In their defense, blizzard does this every single time with a new character as well though.
They always make their new FOTM OP as fuck and then nerf him later.
Every.
Single.
Fucking time. I'm not trying to take sides here, but just you watch. They will nerf him no matter what cause its part of their business model.

>release new OP character
>retards buy him
>nerf him later

Thanks for the cash GGEZ.

Glacial Spike nullifies the need for structures to combo off of.

At the cost of your strongest Q talent

Imperius when? Itherael when?

I'd rather they fixed Tyrael first before adding another stupid fucking angel to the game, thanks.

Glacial Spike is literally the reason why Q build is inferior. It's genuinely too good not to take no matter what build you are going, but since you're taking it you may as well just go full combo build.

Getting slightly more damage on your Q doesn't stand up to being able to set up your own plays and guaranteeing your combo.

I feel like they either should have made the Spike a baseline ability, a quest reward (45 stacks of Blight), or just removed it completely because of how good it is.

>Kelthuzad in EVERY FUCKING GAME
>Shitting out massive damage + disruptive CC while hiding in the backline like a bitch ass Ming-A-Ling or Chromosomie

I am angry.
ANGRY ABOUT SKELETONS
DUMB LEORICS PICKING MARCH ON MY TEAM + KELTHUZADS CONSTANTLY KILLING MY TEAMMATES WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW HE WORKS

Horse bitch is really fun. Is she good?

Don't stand in the circle. Don't get hit by skillshots.

KT got 41% winrate and get fucking destroyed by "skill", even better if you pick a hero with mobility/stuns. (Tracer, Genji, Anub, Uther, Rexxar, Lucio, Valeera etc.)

You guys are almost as bad as fucking reddit.

I just came back to this game and Leroic was my go to character for the most part and what in the fucking hell have they done?

Is he fucking ruined now? I don't know what to think I played one game, seen the removed/changed a bunch of shit and immediately ran to the patch notes. Nerfs, nerfs fucking everywhere. Than I came running here to ask.

Is he better or worse now?
Also what kind of dipshit leoric picks march over entomb?

Sorry that happened to you, but yeah. I need a rundown on this shit. My ass is chaffed, spiritually at least. What the fuck have they done to my beloved king!?!!

>doing VS AI matches to rid myself of the support daily

>ENEMY SLAIN - VALLA

Better Jaina from a better game.

>Have to buy Kel Thuzad because every single one i've had on my team is UTTER TRASH

thats why playing against AI is retarded on all games

we have enough copy paste angels already

>most op heroes atm
>kel thuzad
>leoric
>malthael

what did blizzard mean by this

Does this game have separate solo/group mmr?

it means you are new to blizzard games

???

>congratulations you played a game with kel thuzad
>thanks
that's embarrassing and insulting at the same time.

No but the grouped people get matched against higher MMR people than if they would solo because the game tries to even out the advantage of communication.

IM NEED ANTIMAGE. NOW.
CANCERZAD SO CREEREEEEEEEREEEE

stop being autistic

Ragnaros meteor build taking the Spell immunity.

>oh boy time for some HL
>hey we even managed to get KT on our team, free wins boysss
>"btw im going root ult"
>tell him no because it sucks
>on top of that the enemy has cleanse
>he picks it anway
>gets fucking zero value all game
>manage to win anway because I carried with tyrande cheese
>check his profile after game
>already up to like 3.5k masters
>mfw

This is EU, so the guy must have been grinding like crazy already, even if placed into masters - which I doubt because he never made GM last season. Almost warms my heart, it's so cute, couldn't hack it into GM and now wants to get it by default by just being fast.

Why does Jaina keep trying to take Sylvanas pants off?

It's almost like power creep is a thing.

I kind of want an imperious as well. He's the most badass thing to come out of D3, and would make an interesting bruiser/assassin to Tyreals warrior.

>KT got 41% winrate
Ah yes, just like Genji. When will shitters learn winrate doesn't mean anything?

>make an extra effort to play a few more games to finish off this level so i can take a break from hots for a few days
>loot crate from leveling has a stimpack inside

Just press alt + f4 instead of accepting the loot box and open it later again.

>when the matchmaker just gives up

>when your tank throws your entire team under the bus

No, he's god tier now. Just a little weaker at solo laning.

i find ranked every day more boring

>when your dps doesn't protect you

>when the enemy team has 2+ cloaks and only target you

>when second pick nova
>and whole team spends most of the match running away with full hp

Nova is never a good choice. I run away too.

Every day bro

Every victory I have had has been to comps we should have gotten crushed by.

>tfw got Neutron star robo lich but not KTZZ
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>trying to play KT
>Garrosh/Morales/Diablo/ETC always push away from my skillshots

Who is the most underrated assassin and why is it tychus?

>tfw throwing someone into a KT combo

>it's a low master scrub gets matched in a team with 4 GMs in placements and proceeds to calls them noobs as he makes terrible calls and almost loses us the game episode

man season starts are fun
and of course it was a bladestorm samuro

>tfw throwing a chain target into your team and having KT chain them to a nearby wall
Garrosh+KT is a pretty fun combo.

Probably malthael, you fucking faggot

when the FUCK are we getting a new gnomette hero
I'm fucking sick of getting all these green Beef McMeatpie orc fucks

samuro as a whole is just bad
>quest feeder
>weak stealth
>easily over whelmed in a gank

It was more the fact that it's basically just assassins with sylvana the odd person out we won anyway

>being sexually attracted to a toddler

it's ok they're thousands years old dragons

My Team
>Kel'thuzad
>Garrosh
>Jaina
>Chromie
>Stukov

We destroyed the other team. Easy kills were easy.

In fairness, who isn't trying to get in Sylv's pants 24/7?

>another gnome
bitch we dont even have a single fucken draenai in the entire game, gimme prophet vellen or an eredar, or that female dranei from WoD that replaced space goat jesus

Downloaded this cause I was bored. Is there a jungler role? Can you list heroes if there is.

And god dammit there are so many maps to learn. Should I do unranked instead of quickmatch? Getting raped by like level 400+ lol

fuck draeneis
only worth is as fap material
worst warcraft race

Greymane?

> Is there a jungler role
Not really. Gazlowe, Nazeboo, Zagara are close to that idea, but in the end it's nothing like lol

> Should I do unranked instead of quickmatch?
unranked is going to demand you have some understanding of mechanics otherwise you might set yourself up for disaster.

>inb4 it's Akama

id take akama

I'd rather Yrel

Yrel is for Blackhand only.

its better to pick someone you don't know how to play
or to pick something you know how to play despite lacking a warrior?

its much better to learn more fucking heros so you dont have to make this decision.

we've gone through this many times before, waifufag, do you need a reminder?

I Can abathur clear camps?

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

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

BTW, Kel'Thuzad's kit and especially his model and voice are total shit. Do not fit a lich in any way.

The age of virtual concubines has come
If you want your game to succeed today, it has to have great waifus
That's the literal state of the videogame industry right now so you may as well embrace it right away

used to be able to until they "fixed" the locusts to not attack camps

fag

His early game sucks ass, but at 16/20 he becomes Godmode

fuck off you hormone-addled teenager, if i wanted to fap i'd close down the game and go watch some real porn

>Kel, Jainia and Chromie every single fucking game

god damnit, I need a good mage killer. Is Illidan any good now?

>every support its shit
>hurr learn to play them
make them fun to play and i'll learn them you shit shill
