no one cares about your trash heroes fucking retard

Zeratul

Sproink

because my smurf is in diamond so I want to get my main account out of the trench but I always end up having to fight my team more than anything

looking forward to that "play 2 games as OW heroes" quest yet, user?

I only play ranked so I couldn't give less of a shit

>ruining two games
>no mobility
>almost non-existant cc since no one will ever stay asleep for the whole 3 seconds
>no self heal

literally just kill her

>tfw you get the wrong Amari.

fair enough! looking forward to playing alongside you on volskaya then

Game's over. It's a wrap everyone pack it in.

clips.twitch tv /GlamorousUninterestedSardineFutureMan

Volskaya actually is a cool map in HotS

Remember to lewd Ana

What if D.Va and Lunara could team up?

What happens if you use two Vikings to man the two man thing on Volskaya?

THE DRAGON BECOMES ME

clips.twitch tv /SillyGiftedJellyfishBudBlast

>Guys it's only going to be okay on Genji.
>The shitty non mobile mage is way better.

Wont let you
And Gall cant pilot the gun so basically if he gets in and another teammate does you become the ultimate mobile suit gundam turret of many skillshots

RYUJIN NO KEN WO KURAE

Well that's fucking terrifying

>nano boosting Cho'gall
a weapon to surpass metal gear

huh
well I've been meaning to try dota anyways

>mfw people defending Nova's current state

She fucking sucks, she sucked before, she sucks worse now. I cant believe people are actually saying she is anywhere near good, just give her another role thats not assassin.

>150% Cooldown recharge rate x2
>30% Spell Power x2 + works on healing
>8 seconds
>20 upgrade; heals for 50% of all damage done
>times fucking two
They've created a monster

>just give her another role thats not assassin.
Better idea:
You leave my Assassin as an Assassin, but make her actually good.

Are you confusing Nova with another character? Who the fuck has ever said Nova is good other when she first released?

Nova is basically the best character at killing people who were most likely gonna die anyway

Subdue (Q)
New functionality:
Hitting 2 enemy Heroes with Punish causes the slow to be increased to 80% and no longer decay.
!Quest: Hit 4 enemy Heroes with a single cast of Punish. !Reward: Punish now always slows enemies by 80% and no longer decays.

Roar (Q)
Damage bonus reduced from 50% > 25%
Additional Functionality:
Punish deals 125% increased damage if it hits 2 or more enemy Heroes

(New Talent) Holy Fury (W)
Deal damage to enemies around you. Each enemy Hero hit by Condemn increases the damage by 40% for 5 seconds


>sucks your entire team in
>sets them on fire
>slows them for 80
>then stuns you on top of it
Johanna is cute.

Don't know if it matches up with Auriel, but boy that one could be stupid nuts.
Now, to find a healslut willing to do that for me and my pal.

>land a sleep dart on a dragonblading genji dashing all over the place
>lol doesn't matter cause a minion woke him up

it's hard enough to get it to where heroes don't fucking hit him come on blizz

Do you think KT is OP?
I always get the top tier KTs on my team

Why does the ultralisk suck so much? It's the much cooler looking ability and it fucking sucks, is it ment to be a trap?

does gall get the boost too?

Yes. And Cho gets the healing from Gall's spells when the 20 uograde is taken.

You see the joke is that both of Kerrigan's ult suck. Originally Kerrigan was going to get Maw and Zagara was going to get Ultralisk, but they thought Maw fit Zagara more so they swapped them.

>increases damage by 30%
>also increases damage by 60% because lol CDR
>it more than fucking doubles Dragon Blade damage output
>it will also make him unkillable at 20
I could've done without the true Overwatchâ„¢ season 2-4 experience, fuck granny meta.

He has a high skill cieling, which means most people will do poorly on him. Stupid to see Blizzard attributed his success to skilled play instead of the super bugged chilling touch and hitting towers with chains giving blight.

>tfw dva will never have this as a taunt
youtube.com/watch?v=eH10efX7Png

At lower ranks and qm almost all novas pubstomp.
T.-someone who fucking sucks

Now, they just wanted Zagara to have a non-summoning ult, and Kerrigan to have a non-100%-pickrate ult.
Let's be real, if Kerrigan had maw she'd be much fucking better than with her burning rage on a 100s cooldown.

Chen did nothing wrong

just like in my fake mobaFPS that overwatch kinda wanna be!

I can't wait for the level 20 dragon blade

>tomb of the spider queen
>morons pick Brightwing, Gaz, Leoric and Genji
>Gaz doesn't do a single camp before minute 12
>brightwing is lanning
>Leoric is feeding
>Genji is tower diving
>they end the game with 9/8/7 deaths

which is weird because like zagara is all about spawning shit
why not have an ult to spawn a bigger shit

See . Literally the reason, they said as much. Visual clutter this, muh character fantasy that.

>get grouped up with valeera+nova memeteam in QM
>enemy has chogall and heroes that can outburst them
>they keep walking in obvious patterns and getting de-stealthed while cho gives them the gall
>start blaming everyone else for losing

NOW THAT'S TERRIFYING

>no one will ever stay asleep for the whole 3 seconds
just cooperate with your team lmao

assming your teammates aren't retarded this'll be extremely strong in lane
sleepdart into double warprift, into dragon breath, into Kelthuzad combo...

>You leave my Assassin as an Assassin, but make her actually good.

Cant do that chief, the community hated her when she was good at nothing but being an assassin. That was the whole point of her rework, not to giver her more potential but to appease the crying masses saying she was too good even though she was crap at anything but pub stomping.

DELETE OVERWATCH

dota is a good game but if you get buttmad over 2 heroes being able to teamwipe you dota will make you far angrier with stuff like Sven + Magnus

>get bash locked by literally any carry on the roster or two/one shot
How do people enjoy that shit

nah that's fine hots just feeling a bit stale, don't wanna get too burnt on it

e goes through minions, right
seems pretty ridiculous for gank setups

>bash locked
??? this isn't really a thing since the troll warlord meta

now getting solokilled in 2seconds from full hp by an angry knight with a funny accent or a horny midget skeleton archer -- THAT can happen all the time

Haven't played since before Faceless rework when Basher was manditory on literally every melee carry

it's a lot less common now that they reworked abyssal
instead of being one of the best damage items in the game it now builds out of basher + vanguard and gives basically no damage.

people in silver are so fucking stupid

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING AHHH

>tfw blizzard is a multibillion dollar company and they can't afford to hire one proof reader
they have a fucking typo in the KT 20lvl fissure talent and it is driving me insane

>assuming your teammates aren't retarded

it literally would require you being on mic to say "I'm gonna sleep x don't shoot them" because that's how you have to do it in overwatch, and this game is even more spammy with people constantly poking one another

Also you forget ANY damage wakes them up, including minions/towers/summons, the full 3 seconds is gonna be incredibly rare

i wish i had 2 friends

We've reached cancer levels that shouldn't even be possible.

>two Overwatch maps
>zero Warcraft maps

>people said ana wouldn't be cancerous

>Why is one of the most popular new franchises in the world getting so much attention
Gee

>He has a high skill cieling, which means most people will do poorly on him
You mean high skill floor?

Ceilings are hard to reach from the floor, user.

Nobody cares about your shitty mmorpg

nah cause you can do reasonably well with KT just spamming Q build

>just cc him lol
>pink the ult lmao

Zuljin with Stim and Nanoboost.

>Nanoboosted Gul'Dan
>Take my rapid reload
>boy just fucking mashes q and d and shits out a million damage

fucking sweet

that sounds so shit

...

nanoboost would do nothing though, what reduce the cooldown with grevious throw? meh

Why do people keep saying nanoboost Jaina? There are like a ton of way better choices. It's like in HGC when they kept saying they might pick Jaina here, she's too weak to really see play.

youtube.com/watch?v=v2npluniw3I&t=1m25s
>yfw

ceiling is potential
floor is entry level

for example Li-Li and Raynor are both pretty easy to achieve relevant results on
as opposed to say, Medivh, Genji, Chen or whatever

stim is shit on zuljin too
attack speed boosts are additive and zuljin already gets a BIGGER boost just from his passive

because she got a new skin so people want to use her she wouldn't be one of the top boost targets though

the casters just want to promote new blizzard products so say she will be picked in competitive when she is terrible in pretty much all situations

I don't understand, why does every single overwatch character manage to be so infuriating? what is it about that game specifically that makes each character to come from it a broken mess?

The Jojo rework is so underwhelming. She actually sucks now

>stim is shit on zuljin too
Spoken like someone who has never seen a Zul'jin on stim

High mobility heroes that are all ranged are difficult to deal with in HotS

She definitely feels worse than before with the huge nerf to laws of hope and nothing else really good added to her

No thanks, I prefer the original.

youtube.com/watch?v=qHuJKOMu04U&list=PLA75ABE8451889F32

I dont get what their fascination is with taking the teeth away from warriors and expecting anyone to want to play them.
Tons of survivability and no damage just means you die last.

stim is worse on zuljin than on any other rightclick damage hero

Nanoboost the Alarak

>Tons of survivability and no damage just means you die last.
That's the point of a tank, you expect a tank to have no survivability and tons of damage?

>kharazim with nano and stimdrone

lmao this attack spd is amazing

Sgt Hammer's hammers

There should be a punishment for ignoring a tank besides a minorly annoying cc ability only available every 15 seconds or so.
This stupid shit where the most dangerous thing a "tank" can do is get in peoples way is the most boring fucking playstyle ever.

and as they all come from an FPS..... its really the best way to recreate that fantasy.... shit

39 games in Gold 3 and i've still not made it even to the fucking promotion game.
Why is this such suffering? You get 2 wins and then the MM matches you with literal retards fucking hell i cant explain how frustrated i am with this system.

I personally love bodyblocking. Fucking Chen is the best for this alone.

I know how that is, bro. I got to the Gold 2 promotion game 3 times, then would hit a retard streak that dropped me down to a demotion game, and then I'd climb back up.
I just gave up after a while. Too many retards to make it worth trying that hard.
