FIRST FOR TLV

where are the hot pictures of tyrande??

gj fag, now our general won't have an OP image for 3 days

Stop picking Auriel in QM if you have no idea what you're doing you stupid waifufags.

Every single game with Auriel on my team she picks Empathic link and sticks it on a tank and AFK's, she may as well not even exist.

I think he should dealt equal low damage in his 3 range cone, but depending on the collision box size of the targets it gets increased by a percentage.

Large and Gargantuan shit like Cho'gall, Azmo, Diablo, Garden Terror, Immortal etc. take 225% AA damage while small shit like Illidan, LiLi, Ming or non-catapult minions regular 100% damage.

Now give him like 120 dps (can shoot while moving) and you have a bonafide low range mobile tankbuster with splash that's not oppressive to most squishies.

Good idea but then you have basic attacks with collision checks, aka skill shots with every attack. That's kinda odd and probably super buggy to implement.

Imperius when? Itherael when?

If you don't report the tiny baby 4x4 pixel nips neither will I

This guy calls you a primate. Wat do

Seconding this

slip lings into his main

...

bow to the highlord of course, there's no way I could ever dream of being able to stand up to his awesome and overwhelming power

t. not alarak

How likely are the Alex images to be real out of 10?

Open wide
9955/2102/0586/0547/6375/2608/1

Remove "/" and enjoy your futa

Thanks for reminding me my stimpack bonus ends tonight. You get such shit XP without it.

Alex was on the leak list that has been right so far. If the next hero is Firebat I'd almost say it's guaranteed.

What images?

GIB IMPERIUS NOT ASSASSIN PLOX THX

Feed into him.

...

He'll be a bruiser and you'll like it.

>9955/2102/0586/0547/6375/2608/1
what did he mean by this

When we get Imperius, I want a Tyrael rework to come with him.

It means dingo dongo enter the fucking code where you enter every other fucking blizzard code.

awww i was hoping for some porn

Fake as fuck

>sfm """artist"""
>having access to undisclosed models

yeah no, literally everything you can find is all the same

Does anybody else feel Kel's kit as a whole is a bit too forgiving for a burst Mage? He's got quite a lot to cover his own ass with, the length on that retarded chain shit is way too generous as well.

He makes up for it by doing shit damage

>;)

Oh fuck off

How long until the price drops?

2 weeks after release.

Another week, isn't it?

Chain range is a bit oppressive. Glacial Spike available as early as 7 seems like a bit much, too. They'll probably swap it up to 13-16 and/or nerf the Fissure ult.

Oh, and the 16 talent that lets Death and Decay do a billion damage will probably get tweaks.

why do people who pick naz and don't have full poison stack at 25 minutes think they should open their mouth ?
Why are naz instalockers in general always trash yet talking like they're pros ?

>People losing their shit over a "leaked" model
>It's just your typical head hacked sfm model using another body's assets and is in no way her hots model

Frost Lich Jaina when?

Probably because Nazeebo is borderline freelo for how braindead he is, which leads to people ending up above where they belong.

t. Zeebo abuser

Valeera the Hollow when?

Boy am I fucking ready, yeah.

so you want to give him the Probius treatment, right?

fuck off

My biggest issue with him is his combos are much more impactful when done than comparable mages.

Kel'Thuzad vs Kael'Thas -> Big whoop, Kael gets to stun 1 person very briefly IF you hit your tornado that can be body blocked by a creep. Meanwhile, Kel Thuzad's chains can only hit heroes so his combo enabler has a high success rate.

Kael's damage revolves entirely around Flamestrike. Tornado deals shit damage, and living bomb needs a big group to spread to so it can deal good damage. If you can land a chain (spoiler alert its easy), you can guarantee a W and Q follow up for big damage. All of Kel's abilities deal good damage and they enable each other with CC. Kael's deal pitiful damage, Tornado only enables Flame Strike, and Living Bomb gains nothing from either spell.

Kel'Thuzad vs Jaina -> Jaina's abilities combo better than Kel's, but her downside is she does not have a stun or root in her base abilities and her ult's root is awkward and cumbersome. Jaina's damage is at least comparable to Kel's outside of his maxed quest (she deals more pre-completion and the same past level 21 or so), and her defense overall is greater than Kel's because of Ice Block being innate and Kel's Phylactery needing to be recharged after every use.

TL;DR Kel and Jaina are comparable but they both take a big hefty shit on Kael'thas who is literally worse version of both.

Why is Jaina always trying to undress Sylvanas's pants?

>If you can land a chain you can guarantee a W
not really, unless the you have glacial spike, a nearby building, or level 13
well you can probably still hit the outer W but baseline 2-hero chains are not reliable setup for the root or for fissure

>tfw only just remembered that probe exists
huh

But Glacial Spike is on a 30s cooldown and available at level 7, you basically being deleting people on a 30s/15s CD depending on positioning as soon as you hit 10/full blight stacks.

Is Rag still built all into Q, or did they continue to nerf the shit out of him so now all three builds are as shitty as each other?

W build still sucks balls because it's on a 12s CD
Q build 'sucks' because it's been nerfed to death, though it still packs a punch if it's allowed to get enough procs against multiple melee
E build with lava wave is the new hotness for a supportey damagey survivey Rag, simply because Lava Wave will give you 4-6 Focused Attack procs by itself even if thrown into a lane you aren't fighting in, makes him fairly nasty if he commits.

They're all shit now. E is a meme build.

They're barely staying on her hips! Jaina is just trying to help her change into a more fitting pair.

What ethnicity is Auriel?

>KT release
>all skins are midriff skins
Whoever designed this over at Blizzard, you are my nigga.

angel

>butcher got fucking destroyed
>you need to go into nasus mode to get shit semi-done in the late game
>the retarded nerf on W
Might as well have removed the character.

>get into my very first HL match since unranked has really long queues
>stukov and malthael immediate blame me because i didn't agree to join a lost teamfight because ETC was caught and died by the tribute
>they just suicide and continue blaming me
what the hell

>team of golds picking 3 assasins.
>pick auriel as support
>everyone yells as "USE CROWN ON ME IDIOT AURIEL"
>disable allies chat
>You've been silenced

If these plebs think I'll wait 9 months for this shit, blizz can cuck themselves.

You just need a hard kill enabler like Garrosh. A friend and I duo this combo all the time, and early game skirmishes in mid usually result in many kills because of Toss -> Butcher.

white angel
gfycat com/CourageousSpicyGannet

Pick one.

You get focused attack cdr every time meteor ticks on an enemy too
Full W build with focused attack seems like the go-to

What do you hope from a Tyrael rework?

I hope they make Holy Ground baseline like a quest and they give him a viable damage/bruiser build.

Cast away or bust.

>Blizzard silences you as punishment for disabling chat

:thinking:

>9 month silence for doin nuffin
eat shit faggot gb2 >>>/lolg/

exactly the same except with more mana regen and cheaper spells

drink somalian semen like your liberal brethren and be proud of it.

oh and don't forget to cry "WAH WAH TOXIC" to everyhing makes you discomfortable.

>9 month silence
anyone silenced for that long likely deserves it

i have been insanely toxic in several games, never silenced though

Unlike you I can keep my stupid fucking fingers tame during online games so I will never feel the shame of being silenced for being a loudmouth crybaby when things don't go my way in game

Also, I report every silenced player I see in game out of principle just because I know the increased silence time will make them quit the game, making it a better experience for everyone

Have fun playing another game though!

This. You have to go consistently ham to get any sort of silence from my experience.

I agree, honestly, silenced players should just fucking quit.

If you can't keep your mouth shut, you not old enough to play the game.

Like, what do you want to hear from us, honestly? That those two evil kids are wrong and you deserve a medal for playing so good without any recognition? Man up you pussy, if you got tilted by some fucking casual shitter game, because some other pathetic beta cuck insulted you and hurt your feelings, then I feel sorry for your manhood. I bet you gargle on futa cock too, you cuck.

>>disable allies chat
>>You've been silenced

This is your average hots trash being too liberal with report button.

> I report every silenced player I see in game out of principle just because I know the increased silence time will make them quit the game

Get some nutrition, no such thing exists, picking valeera and %100 invis afking atm.

oh and it goes without saying; other report buttons are placebo.

Needs better damage. As it is now, he's only there for his ults and Holy Ground. Maybe make his shield better too so he can actually tank.

>Get silenced for being unfun shitter who ruins games and spergs in chat when feelings are hurt when you don't win
>9 month silence means you are a multiple time repeat offender so there's no justifying it even in your puny autistic brain and you know it
>haha i'll show them I'll just feed every game instead that will show them
>h-heh cuck! liberal! haha!
Does your mother know you're on the computer right now? Should I contact your school?

Noice.

>Please don't pick that X
>Pick filler
>Don't over extend
>What are you doing

These are the reasons of my silences. Unlike a closeted cuckold like you, I try to reach people and fix them. Now proceed to please Jamal.

tfw giving muradin some succ

Heard it all before brainlet. Keep getting mad at video games I'm sure that will work out for you some day, maybe if you try to appeal you silence for the 15th time like a pathetic loser and ask nicely without calling the GM a Blizzdrone they might consider removing your silence.

>i dindu nuffin
that's what you retards always say
but in reality you're screaming all game in caps calling your team noobs, cucks and niggers

what I'm doing is funnier than what I had in ranked.

You can suck off blizzcuckdrones.

Telling off the Jamal I presume?

>another hero killed in the name of quick match/silver

what the fuck why did they nerf him
he was my fun qm pick

>first pick tracer
>deal no damage and feed
why do people do that

too much of a QM pubstomp
made early deaths relevant
oh and he'd just win if the enemy team didn't have cc

sort of like sonya in a game with 9 squish heroes

>easily punished hero get's first picked
>team doesn't pick synergizing heroes
>what few synergizing heroes available end up banned or picked
>hero countered up and down by enemy team
>First picked hero get's shat on for not being able to overcome counters with superior play
You can't main very well in this game's ranked mode. People coming in from QM will not understand this and blame bunga team and end up in the shit ranks and drag their teams down with them.

Got Leoric from chest. Never played with him.
What build do?

semen demon build

you just press your SUCCCCCCCC button and win

Full W + Entomb/Upgrade fucks bitches, but Q/E shrink build fucks bitches even more

Who will win? Nephalem or team skelington?

red gonna drown in minions

red
blue gonna drown in minions rather

>yfw you realize Illidonger is C A N O N I C A L L Y the strongest individual hero in the game, lore-wise.

Ragnaros is around too.

Would be cool if he got the eye beam as an active talent that he can build into like Garrosh's body check.

My winrate with Ming grows ever higher

>those zarya stats

>try azmodan
>you literally fry people to death
>its the most braindead shit I've ever seen
Nigga you just press E and target a dude then juke him till he dies.
