>the Volskaya capture points follow Overwatch objective rules
I hope that won't happen on any future OW maps.

Post you are player level, retards

i hope you never get this fucking piece of shit on your team

>31 deaths

i thought the age of leoric murkys had passed

this shit is hilarious, not even reddit can stop him.

reddit can't stop that 100% win rate master yi guy

atleast leo is useful as long as he can grab the tank

murky is just straight up useless when he has to lane vs a sonya

what?

>we have curse, they're 2 dead, and all of us are up, we're at their fucking core
>3 teammates are on the other side of the map doing merc camps
>can't finish
>lose

Some fellow who made it to the front page after intentionally throwing hundreds of matches in that one game. Wonder if any of the Abathur, Leoric or Murky feeders were banned.

>losing all game
>only have half a keep left
>get a pick on one guy
>our whole team is up
>enemy team tries to boss
>ace them on it and end
the throws

I mean, he won the last 3 and we did win that one, but come the fuck on.

I dont see the problem - let one tricks be one tricks, maybe he is even good enough to realize not everyones a shitter and can actually spot the blue shimmer.

trying to be a one trick in this game is actually so shitty desu
the other team can even see it's you and it's not uncommon to bump into the same team that'll either counterpick or just ban you out

HotS has an Autism base rivaling Sonic the Hedgehog.

It's disgusting really. Sometime's it's almost so gross it makes me consider installing another dead moba, like HoN

Only moba with halfway decent skins. Everything else is THIS IN GAME MODEL IS TOTALLY LIKE THE ART WE SWEAR.

you forgot to mention waifuposters and lorecarers

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

this guyfelt left out

>Garrosh doesn't have an ult where he turns into his mythic final form and becomes nearly unkillabe and shits out damage
literally fucking why

waifuposters are just a thing you gotta deal with in basically every game

Because that's how Garrosh normally is in HOTS

is it just me or do his animations feel kind of shitty
like namely the autos and w

yeah they're actually pretty reasonable here

yeah but he's not huge and purple

his dick is

no, that's jaina's dick

>Arthas and Nerfmourne
>Uther the Dwarfbringer
>Samuro and the model from Beta
>Zagara the Ventriloquist
>Literally every master skin

>25% winrate zarya wins on Russia map and also gets MVP
coincidence?

>not having judgement uther

Garrosh is great. They will not make a fucking virgin cuck for you to play fuck off.

orcs are niggers and need to be genocided to extinction

oh no bets

>Kel doesnt hit any chains
>only every other Q and W
>still top damage

Good thing they nerfed him.

>Raynor
>Ana Nanoboosts me twice

Literally what do you want from me??

the dick

Q build raynor is sleeper

dont forget this guy

overwatch players didn't read the ability description and assume it works the same way

i got nano's something like 3 times in my last greymane game
meanwhile when I play sonya my QM Ana goes eye of horus, uses it at the beginning of every fight, and seemingly fails to understand how it works while clicking on enemies but wasting all her ammo on the full-hp backliners right in front of her

>tfw forced 25% is failing
finally my time to play zarya has come

damage talents on 1 and 7?

all her talents at 1 and 7 are damage talents

Demolition Expert/Pinpoint

They lacked follow up damage so I stayed on 80%+ energy basically from the start of the game till the end, so I took 20% armor on high energy and took Physical Shield to prevent Artanis burst and it worked out pretty well.
.

>maximum charge
>together we are strong
>hit me
>damage talents

okay bronzie

I never manage to actually stay at energy with Q build, but its so hard to stick to someone with the melee build.

>Each time Zarya's Personal Barrier or Shield Ally absorbs 10 damage, her Energy is increased by 1. Each point of Energy increases Zarya's damage by 2%.

oh wait i'm wrong 7 has that one shitty never-pick talent that increases her beam width or something

Is Ana one of the most boring supports or what?

1) The only exciting ability she has is Nanoboost but that's entirely dependent on the target to not fuck it up, and unlike Morales' Stim Drone, it's very easy to see it wasted

2) Q missing half the time because your aim sucks or your teammate move too much is pretty annoying. It feels tedious and low impact to try to heal people

3) The worst self-sustain of any healer, at least Morales has talents for survivability and an actual decent self-peel

What am I missing? Can anyone explain what's fun about playing Ana?

Ana is pretty

Since Morales, Lucio and Brightwing exist, I'm gonna say nah.

why is jaina constantly pulling sylvanas pantsu down?

because the weak should fear the strong

>people pay for this kiddie tier tumblr shit

that's not what what word means

Every talent that increases or assist energy gain is also a damage talent by default. Shielding = energy = damage.

Mocus Furadin

>skin AND hero I wanted

MOM GET THE CAMERA

i've seen the light and changed my ETC skin to the default, it's actually the best

it's a shame about the pure country skin -- it looks good but its sound effects are awful

Artanis is fun

you are indeed on fire

Where the FUCK is Maiev!?!

All default color default skins are the best

Anyone who disagrees is a shit

arthas
also lumberjack uther

>They never got together
Missed opportunity, Blizzard.

Maybe next year.

post your top 4
rate
hate
appreciate

>Arthas
To be fair, you might as well consider Crown Prince Arthas his base skin, since his Lich King skin looks like a high school project gone terribly wrong.

edgy and cute

jaggies, jaggies, jaggies.

9 decides what character I autistically spam for the next 3 weeks until Junkrat comes out

murky ur a shit drawer

Explain to me how the hell you play Samuro?
He has like dickshit damage and it seems every popular character has a way to mitigate his attacks .

Sgt Hammer

Dehaka

Gazlowe

Nova

take bets

He is a good counterpick to Alarak

You have to outsmart people basically. You must channel you inner WC3 orc man blademaster cheese and be an opportunistic piece of shit and not just throw your abilities into people and hope to get kills.

Very carefully.
You jungle and roam between lanes picking off any dumbass squishy that tries to solo rotate, and fill in whenever someone needs to hearth during laning phase.

After the laning phase, your main goal is to flank the fuck out of the backline during teamfights, if you do it right, the enemy might actually be dumb enough to think you're still in a different lane.

Does Gall benefits from nanoboosting Cho?

yes

maiev

the Lost vikings

hory shiet those shadowflames

Goliath D'va

Medivh

superman

greymane's cursed bullet description states it doesn't work on vehicles but it works on sgt hammer and d.va's mech

Did you tested it on medivac?

it doesnt work on map objective gimmicks that you rightclick to enter, such as dragon knight, garden terror, and triglav protector

though i think the % damage from malthael ant tychus DOES work on those

valla

Zagara

he is memeing

blizz has some seriously bad tooltips for that shit though
cursed bullet says "does not work on vehicles" and then stops there without explaining anywhere what it means

meanwhile every fucking armor talent in existence says something like "gain 25 armor. this means you take 25% less damage"

Waste of a perfect 9

Dehaka is bea

kinky

surprise!
not really

slut

Medivh is good for _____
