When will Blizzard start advertising HotS as the Overwatch moba?

after doomfist

Let's be honest
Diablo and Starcraft are dead franchises
Only Warcraft and Overwatch matters at this point
If you are a fan of the dead series, you might as well quit and kill yourself
It will never get better for you

im angry about mages

>Starcraft
>Dead

On some super e-spurts level sure because nobody except koreaboos and the plastic people themselves care about their literal who pros who will never stop dominating the game, but a shit ton of people bought SC2 and all the expansions because even in this day and age Blizzard still know how to make even an RTS campaign a pretty fun, cinematic enough experience for people despite skill level.

>Diablo
>Dead

It's quietened down a whole lot because no big flashy content for a while, but while the release was a "disaster" (Made fucking mountains of money anyway) the game bounced back pretty well after RoS was received really well and they've added a whole lot of QoL changes since then as well.

So when we get Maiev, who's gonna be the next WHERE THE HELL IS?

3 overwatch heroes

why does she have Murky's mouth?

Where the FUCK is Marin Noggenfogger as the Goblin Alchemist????

Is the matchfinding total piece of shit or does it take 10minutes for only me to find a match?

Hero League

It's early morning in the US, 10m is about right for HL at this hour, yeah.

I bet they don't need to stutterstep just like every ow hero that's been added here

>Mayor (((niggerfugger)))
What did they mean by this???

LOKTAR OGAR

>Not posting a racemixed half nigglet baby
Opportunity missed.

If I have 15k, and am a decent player, should I buy KT or Xul? Others I play are Arthas and Kaelthas and Guldan.

I want Cairne so bad.

I want Cairne, fuuuuuuuckkk I want Cairne. I want a real Tauren, and not just ETC. I like the guy and all, but he's our only Tauren and he's a joke character.

>Buy KT
>Already owns and plays him
You didn't mention him but I think you should buy KTZ.

2004 was a different time.

Thats what I meant, KT is Kelthuzad

Why would he want to buy KT if he already owns him? You're not making any sense.

>"And you expect me to take the Tauren seriously?"

Ouch man.

Isn't it KZ?

No he's not you litteral nigger who can't comprehend irony. He's fucking KTZ , KT has been the name of Kael'Thas for 2 years now in hots to have some skeleton lich king cum sucker replace him.

noggen
brain
fogger
fog
brainfog
a greedy goblin who sells the player drugs that do fucked up things to them

Why would it be?
Kelthuzad is older than Kaelthas though, I played HS, and Kaelthas isnt even in the game.

Them skins tho

I want cute female(girl) champion, not old nigger hag

Thought I read it on an older thread or somewhere on the HGC stream. KTZ is fine though.

>Bad Dragon DVa

Too loud cow man!

A pity they wasted that legendary for a shit tier character in all ways.

Calm down chris chan.

>No he's not you litteral nigger who can't comprehend irony. He's fucking KTZ , KT has been the name of Kael'Thas for 2 years now in hots to have some skeleton lich king cum sucker replace him.

Reminder that Reddit Karma-Whoring sellouts are in this thread RIGHT NOW

she's egyptian, not a negro.
stop watching cnn buddy.

Okay, but should I buy Xul or Kelthuzad?

>sand nigger
>not nigger

rate my pool

Garrosh
The Butcher
Gul'Dan
Stitches

Reminder that Firebat and Alexstrasza are going to be the next heroes:

Lili? Li-Ming?

>Massive list of every Blizzard character ever
>Garrosh was on the list
>Garrosh got released
HOLY SHIT LEAKS CONFIRMED REAL

>tfw eternally cursed into the Limbo of Gold 3 cuz you just cant win two games straight.

What will Alex's kit be?
I was thinking something like this:
>Q: slash at the ground, dealing damage and pulling enemies to you at the end of the aoe
>W: bite an enemy, dealing damage and healing. Healing doubled versus heroes
>E: tailwhip the closest enemy, sending them flying to a target location
>R1: unleash a mighty dragon roar, forcing enemies to attack you
>R2: breathe fire around you, damaging and slowing enemies. Damage doubled or maybe tripled versus heroes. 3 charges.
>Trait: taking damage hardens your scales, increasing your armor the lower your health is

Thoughts?

KTZ is way more fun in my opinion.

what i want to know is if that superman rumor was true

>HS
>Relevant
I know KT was in Warcraft even but in hots we all agreed on Kael'Thas being KT and calling some other guy the same just brings confusion.

Alright faggots.
KT = Kel'Thuzad
Kael = Kael'thas

>KT is older than KT
They are from the same game. How could one be older.

KT is from RoC
KT is from TFT

>tfw thought kael was in roc's night elf campaign
How long has it been?

>Kael is from TFT's HUMAN campaign
Holy shit what a cuck

>high elves don't even have their own footsoldiers

They need to change KT so his chains no longer tie to buildings, it's fucking stupid, his burst is too crazy to allow such a reliable setup.

They need to gut his passive, 75% more damage, its even sounds ridiculous

How can Kael be older since KT is a lich, hes probably thousands of years old

kelthuzad was a human that lived during the third war, he's not an old lich
he's like 80 years old

kael'thas is an elven prince and much older

Are u retarded, he first appeared in the night elf campaign in tft

Actually it's more logical for Kael to be older since he's an elf

As a side character for one mission
He's the protagonist of the human campaign

What?

HUH

>murky and tracer try to kill me (abathur)
>baited into 6 toxic nexts and both die

KTZ was a human mage, not even that good a mage, he was jelly of antonidas, betrayed humans and everyone to gain muh power, joined the scourge, was killed like the cuck he was and his master the lich king Arthas allowed him to return as undead so he could serve him and drink his cum freshly ejaculated every morning. Long story short KTZ is from the same era as Arthas only older by human standards so he's more or less just as old as Uther. KT on the other hand is the fucking sun king, true elves Prince and one of the most powerful mages out there. He was a cool guy but then blizzard gave him the Garrosh treatment. So yeah KT is older than KTZ by millennia.

>Things that never happened

dota gamemode when

>not even that good a mage
But he was in the council of six, only top mages get to be there.

I cant find a source on how old KT actually is he might be a few hundred years old not thousands. I heard his father was like 2000-3000 years old

>youtu.be/r7lK29n_DDY

tfw mm wants to kill you (we actually won that game)

Shit music taste aside, that's pretty top kek.

*Only top human mages who gave a fuck about politics so Medivh , Khadgar etc were more powerful but didn't give a fuck to join plus he wasn't even the chief or something. So we still have one of the six powerful humans who were in the special free massons-like club Vs the literal most powerful fire mage in Warcraft.

Q: Produce Dragon Rape-Babies for the orcish army

W: Blow pretty flower-growing dragon-breath.

E: Lick your opponent to set their HP to 15

Trait: Permanently in Blood Elf form

lik comnent and subscrb pls.

More that Garrosh got the Kael treatment, either way Blizz sucks ass at wasting their fun characters by turning them into le baddie raid boss.

Should I get Malth, Varian or Rag? I got 750 gems and feel like just blowing them to save myself time on a 10k. Kind of leaning toward Malth.

I hope that Sylvanas bitch gets the same treatment soon, I can't stand that whore anymore plus all this thing about undeads being a race and having a country and all is plain stupid, they are parasitic by nature since they can't fuck / spawn children so if they go to war and kill everyone they will disappear at some point. It's a dumb concept and they all need to go now. We need some other race for the horde like troggs, ogres or minotaurs or something.

I would always invest my gems into Stimpacks.

>It's ok when undead troll spirits continue to live without problems
>It's ok when ancient night elven ghosts run around for 10,000 years
>It's ok when mages turn themselves into liches
>It's ok when muh light brings someone back
>But muh Sylvanas
I don't get the hate for this one character at all. She hasn't done anything bad yet.

>Spergin this hard

Sylvanas has always been uninteresting and shit but forsaken are cool, also they're not gonna just evaporate nig, from the start they're being maintained by magic.

>ana has 100% reduced healing for enemies
>stimpack for mages

RUINING ANOTHER GAME, WITH NO SURVIVORS

They actually did. In the Undead campaign for RoC they use a smaller version of the special Captain unit that you get to use during a mission in the Human campaign. Then in TFT, you could build them from the barracks.

They were just reskinned Footmen though.

>Ruining

There was nothing to ruin at least for overwatch, the game was poorly designed and boiled down to sitting in corners waiting for ultimates Ana or no.

>KT with nanoboost

JUST ADD /SURRENDER TO THE GAME

How do i Sylvana? I suck every time, she have 0 damage, cant duel, only can do easy mercs and push if left alone.

is leoric MVP algorithm shit is broken or what? even when doing bad its pretty easy to get MVP

Stimpack only worth it if you turbo autism play this game all the time. Casuals playing it every now and again may as well just spend them on shit they want.

Not them but she's just really boring and it feels shitty having a dumb dead elf leading the horde, I've always kind of disliked them for being too detached from even their own racial faction, no matter what when you're forsaken you're a dead human, she's some high elf that got skewered and ghosted by Arthas after already having likely lived some hundreds of years.

Stop trying to force playing her like other Specialists. Play her like a hybrid Assassin. Take the dagger cooldown and armor reduction talents, and go into every goddamn teamfight there is. If all you do is kill minions and camps, of course you're shit.

Usually when I play her I'm top hero and siege damage. It isn't hard. Also take Windrunner so you can actually duel and escape properly.

>Google that to get the line
>Get this
youtube.com/watch?v=AJMYmlI6LRE

Heh.

stay on the edge of fights and spam W, if someone comes close unload Qs, your E makes you unstoppable during the jump

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PUSH WITH PEOPLE YOU ARE 10 TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE THAN BEING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MAP SLOWLY BREAKING A BUILDING

My issue with stims is that I already have most characters and most of them are 10+, it's slow going either way and I don't feel like waiting another 50 levels for the 300 gems to get a 30 day and the week ones feel like too bad a value for me to wanna get.

>I've always kind of disliked them for being too detached from even their own racial faction, no matter what when you're forsaken you're a dead human
So you hate her because you're stupid, got it.

to add to this, protect your minion wave by disabling turrets/enemy minions as soon as possible, they add a great deal of pushing power to sylv

Why dead Sonya is cute?

You are an undead human when you're forsaken, she's some shit elf that got turned into a banshee after already having lived multiple human lifetimes, there's a pretty goddamn big disconnect between minds when that's the leader of your group and most everyone else were probably expecting to reach 50 if they were lucky.

>receive 100% reduced healing for 2 seconds.
