Why does Ana get the ultimate "sniper" ult with global range Eye of Horus while Nova still has to root herself in plain sight to Triple Tickle?

nova is shit and ana is overcancer and new so they have to make her op

>Nova doesn't even get the skins anymore.
>Blizzard gives them all to Li-Ming now.

She has nothing left.

Because there is a very obvious difference in design philosophy between the newer and older heroes.

Good, Li Ming is a super qt.

But Li ming is a slut

Cause fucks are busy missing half the shots with eye of horus, additionally it does shit for damage so doesn't even matter much.

Nanoboost is just a better ult all the time, especially with illidian, genji, thrall, etc

Do you think it's just nobody has told blizzard if they want to reduce the double support meta then they shouldn't make supports that compliment each other so well?

Yes user she is my slut.

nice siege damage, you're pulling your weight

Are you retarded?

Most her damage she can do early game and then by late game its hard to do anything but heal. Probably if I had competent teammates, but I spent the entire match just healing when start I had good hero damage and even completed my 5 stacks 15 times quest pretty quickly.

Also why would you never pick that talent? It had so much burst healing.

Newbie here to the game
Currently at lvl 6 or so and I almost exclusively play Jaina, what are some beginner tips to 'git gud' ?

You'd think as often as a raynor rework gets brought up in the community they'd have at least done something for him. Has he even been picked at all in HGC?

This is just depressing.
heroespatchnotes.com/hero/raynor.html

check the enemy team comp and visualize who can kill you and how
(do they have stealth? dive? poke? can they displace you? hard CC you?) and play/select talents accordingly

soak your lanes

come to the obj

look at the minimap

do these things and you're already plat level once you learn a few heroes

Not that I can remember, but he was meta till they destroyed his Q build.

>ana siege damage
her rightclick poison doesnt even fuckin work on buildings and grenade is awful for waveclear

What's your best hero? Gaymane here, I don't know why but his kit just fits my general playstyle to a T.

What if they nerf healing while buffing their damage? What if they turn every healer into a Tyrande?

don't try to do stuff solo

try to keep an eye on minimap

gather and do the objectives with team

practice positioning

>nanoboost Nazeebo

Holy shit, Grubbys forehead looks even more ridiculous with this hairstyle

Ideally supports would fill the role of a secondary tank or dps or have a lot of utility while having some healing as a bonus.

>[BRRRAP INTENSIFIES]

Why the fuck did they nerf laws of hope so hard? Can she even regen her life properly now?

What's Ana's dance? Is it just her hoppy overwatch dance?

Some Egyptian shit

>see abathur among patchnotes
>get excited
>it's just the general Z change
>nova just some random talent buffs
How do they keep getting away with it?

>liking cancer heroes
Your own fault

>see abathur in patch notes
>lament mules demise
>it's just changes to his z

>wanting aba changes

literally one of if not the most balanced heroes in the game

meanwhile johana wich was only useable gets the axe

>see abathur changes
>please don't be buffs
>it's just a bug fix or consistency change
whew

>see Lucio changes
>worried they would kill him again
>it's a buff to his health and hp regen that was needed since his passive healing got axed
I'm actually positively surprised.

nanoboost dragonblade is the dumbest thing I have ever seen

Will be patched out I hope

Uhh, I think a Developer said it was unintended. Hopefully it'll get fixed. Might just be meant to affect basic abilities but doesn't Genji's Dragonblade replace Q for the duration?

Hopefully Ana ult doesn't break the game desu

Why don't you snipe people globally with your fucking orbital cannon?

It doesn't affect your abilities
It affects your cooldown recharge rate, which is independent of your abilities

If it has a cooldown: Its affected

just like in overwatch! who could have thought!

seriously tho a 50% CD reduction in OW is OP, i cant imagine on a moba where 75% of all damage comes from skills

it is meant to only affect basic abilities
devs have specifically said on the forum that the dragonblade interaction is unintended and that it will be patched to not have its swing cd reduced

>QM gives enemy team a healer
>Its fucking tyrande of all heroes

>Meanwhile we have 2 warriors, chromie nova and kael

Why

>Enemy team has garrosh tyrande valla

>We have 3 specialists and not a single assassin or warrior

WHY
THIS SHIT AINT FAIR

WE DONT WANT MIRROR MATCHES EVERY GAME BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN JUST GRAB 4 RANDOMS AND CHUCK YOU AGAINST A STATISTICALLY STRONG QM COMP

>we have an actual comp
>enemy team has abathur, varian and azmo
>we win in like 11 minutes
yeah quick match is a bit of a coin flip

Cry more baby bitch

My bad, never noticed the "Basic abilities" phrase in the ability tooltip

Dragonblade is dumb, glad it wont make it live

Holy shit, this is fucking awesome.
I have been saving up for kelthuzad, but i am getting this fucker instead

>tfw 90k

>tfw had like 60k and didn't buy the limited time gold mount(s) because stingy jew
traces of regret

I'm just glad the next 2 heroes are overwatch, I can just skip them and save more gold.

>h-hey Lili why are you moaning so loudly? and why is there a saddle floating midair behind you? :X

shut the fuck up lili is pure and would never date a horse

>invisible horse dick

Wow Blizzard now even mounts have shimmer, when will the invisibility meme end! When I tell you! WHEN!

But it does look cool.

I wish I understood what exactly happened in this game that made us win so hard, I was kinda unsure at draft. KT killed a lot of people but he also died the most, but we were still massively ahead all game and never really lost a fight

Who the fuck is Mr. Bigglesworth?

get out

kel'thuzad's cat
shows up in his dance
and in the little floating naxxramas banner

Kelly T's kitty

Because it has nothing "sniper" about it, Artanis can call a "fucking orbital cannon" too, so can KT

any tips for malth? i just want to get him to 5 before i blow my fucking brains out

also is soul rip or reaper build better

imo replace antiarmor shells with a talent that gives nova her sc2 lightsaber and gives her like +500% damage or some shit in exchange for reducing her to melee range

>Price drop when kel'thuzad gets nerfed tomorrow

really makes your clankers clonk

Ok, thanks. I was looking through my collection when I saw that cat and I thought I missed something.

FUCK YOU WHORE

When are they gonna reduce the goddamn skin prices, it's been two weeks, I want my Sonya.

Depends on who you're fighting

Against multiple beefy bois, take every Trait talent you can. They melt from just existing near you in a fight

Against ranged slipper squishies, maximise soul rip for chase and kiting

Malth's really flexible. You can build him to be insanely tanky for an assassin during Tormented Souls if you so desire.

But Tormented Souls is basically always better than Last Rites, UNLESS you have a lead. If you're already ahead you can gamble on last rites for maximum fun to ball out of control

KT is an evil monster tho, why would he have a kitten? monsters just kill everything

he was a human mage before arthas resurrected him, and cats are evil too

>bootybay gone
HALELUJAH, WE'RE SAVED

sawce me bruh

>tfw Ragnaros main now
>never got to play him at his best

it hurts...

it's the only thing that ties kel to his life before becoming a lich. It's also canon that it's the only living thing in naxxramas and that he would destroy any minion that threatened it. Some NPC had dialogue about it in wow

>Price reduction still aint here
Oy vey

Unless you been playing since alpha you probably didn't get to play anyone at their best. Shit was insane back in the day and we liked it, but then we had to ruin everything when the normies invaded.

>megakill with every lavawave
>megakill with every trait
>invincible with Q build
How is he today anyways? I see everyone going E build, is it fun?

Idk what their deal was. Literally nerfed the fun builds instead of buffing the shitty ones. He wins games by himself on Braxis though.

the cat hangs around the raid entrance and you (the player) can even kill it, if you do it you hear kel'thuzad screaming his lungs out at you

>finally escaped silver

thanks mr. skeletal

>alpha ETC
Truly a weapon to surpass metal gear

>my last 3 matches trying to hit 10 with garrosh have been double tank against a malthael

Fuck you too QM

youtube.com/watch?v=TD_X9_jl3D0

>screaming his lungs out

ehhhh

>blizzard allowing silvers to paytowin their way into gold by buying the new hero
hmmm

>hero is free
>paytowin

my almonds!

hey now, I was only KT for 4 of those games

>you can get this power increase either slowly through grinding or immediately by paying realmoney
>not paytowin
go back to your korean mmos

And now you realize that if he had the kitten since he was human it'd be 6+ years old, but its still a kitten, he made the kitty immortal.

still free :)

I paid gold for kt tho. To be honest the only thing I've bought is the welcome bundle, which wouldn't have really been a factor since I'm sitting on 2k gems

>you will never be this autistic

communism has rendered the chinese people so intellectually inferior that they can't take proper screenshots and have to resort to photographs of their screen

just say no, kids, and stick with Jesus Christ's own capitalism

imagine spending literally THOUSANDS of hours in front of a pc playing a shitty hero in a shitty videogame and still not knowing how to take a screenshot

yeah I was remembering his hearthstone voice
goddamn he sounded like shit in wotlk

I just report anyone who picks nazeboo, valla, ragnaros and sylvanas %95 of them are dumbfucks.

anyone thinking/doing the same?

I want my Jaina too.

It's on purpose dipshit, screenshots are easily shooped, but photos of the screen less so since the blur and shit makes it hard to copypaste

>level 20 Cho talent allows him to get permanent 50 armor
How the fuck is this balanced?

>Valla
>Literally one of the best characters in the game

so if you forge the screenie the photo will be ruined with the shitty cell camera and noone will be able to tell its shoppped?

>Shop a screenshot
>Take picture of it with phone and blur filter

WOAH
