Mengsk

I don't think a character like that exists. Gotta move on with my life some day.

Kel'thuzad was my most hype character and he's here and I am too trash to play him.

why do shitters insist on playing tyrande

maiev confirmed to be the true never ever.

rip our hopes and dreams

The Overmind

is that why she sounds like a chain smoking Batman impersonator in Legion?

Rip

Tough question.

Probably Izual or a model update for Arthas

GUESS WHO JUST MADE BAIL FROM 9 MONTHS SILENCE??? again.

user that was weeks ago, they just recently resolved the strike sorta

You want a cookie or something faggot? You think sucking off GMs and begging and pleading for your chat privledges back someone kind of achievement?

>playing game
>lucio starts bitching that we have no tank because everyone died and that means he needs to start blaming shit like a god damn dumb nigger retard
>tell him our sgt hammer is a tank
>"No. thats retarded. Go watch HGC"

they probably told her to do that voice and thats why it fucked her up.

The big advantage hots has over dota with supports is it feels like you arent ever really meant to play your hero properly in dota

You arent meant to level fast like a core and actually use all your abilities and talents
You arent meant to buy the items you need like a core
And when a support does these things, hes snowballing and its an uncommon appearance

Supports in hots just let you go ham and play like a core, except your job is helping not hurting. Thats how a support role should be

The ying to a "carrys" yang. Not the teams pack mule

I would like to play as a Zerg drone, Arcturus Mengsk, Mei from overwatch or hearthstone character like Reno Jackson

>Reno Jackson in HotS
pls no

I make the same joke with Bastion in OW and it always makes people stop bitching about comp and lightens the mood

Bastion in hots when. Its his only chance to be viable in a game

I want you to stop being little toxic shit who has watered down toxic in game; oh also recognizing my supremacy is optional.

Reno or Elise would be awesome. I wanna quest for the golden monkey and I wanna be able to ancestral healing myself to cuck assassins

>I was only 9 years old
>I loved Reno Jackson so much, I had all the adventure and crafted him golden
>I pray to Reno every night before bed, thanking him for the rank I've been given
>"Reno is love" I say; "Reno is life"
>My dad hears me and calls me a control fag
>I know he was just jealous of my devotion for Reno
>I said him STFU aggro shitter
>He Kill Commands me and sends me to 1 hp
>I'm crying now, and my face hurts
>I lay in bed and it's really cold
>Suddenly, a warmth is moving towards me
>It's a topdeck Reno
>I am so happy
>He whispers into my ear "How much?"
>He grabs me with his powerful exploring hands and puts me down onto my hands and knees
>I'm ready
>I spread my ass-cheeks for Reno
>He penetrates my butt-hole
>It hurts so much but I do it for Reno
>I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water
>I push against his force
>I want to please Reno
>He roars in a mighty roar as he fills my deck with shitty 1 offs
>My dad walks in
>Reno looks him straight in the eyes and says "We're going to be rich!"
>Reno fills my face with heals
>Dad concedes
>Reno is love. Reno is life.

>that guy who plays Stukov

>that guy that plays Diablo and opens with Q when your only support is Stukov and he blames Stukov for not keeping his 40 soul ass alive in 4 enemies

>That stukov that takes your grabbed and flipped target as diablo and throws him back to the safety of his base

>that Diablo who doesn't realize it was a bad idea to flip Artanis into his squishies

>our hopes and dreams
talk for yourself faggot lover

>that guy who plays Diablo in general

>Try to get hammer to 10
>Chromie,Genji, and KT

I am not even in siege mode half the time and they still shit on me hard.

i went and looked for the dva the destroyer sound files
it's literally just some flame sfx being added to her voice while in her meka

my.mixtape.moe/ghmalo.ogg DVaBase_Pissed08.ogg
my.mixtape.moe/fcxlom.ogg DVaDestroyer_Pissed08.ogg

altered voice over would be more fitting

>expecting anything from the blizzard joos
Should have shoo'd em

dead game

dead thread

you cannot kill that which has no life

All our shitposters got banned or silenced

False :3

Valla has:
- a simple and reliable kit
- good base mobility
- good disengage
- good waveclear
- good talent diversity
- strong sustained AA damage
- strong burst spell damage
- strong synergy with enablers like Auriel/Tassadar/Morales
- 2x stun with her heroic on a short cd

My only question is:
Why is this allowed?

>stun
it's a fucking ministun the duration isn't long enough to be useful for anything other than interrupts

You jackals think you can come in here and gank ME?!
*dies*
This killstreak is over.

The goliath voice still gets me hard.

if only they had given her different lines, would have found it amusing to have Goliath D.va be a massive overwatch fangirl, given that version of her IS from starcraft, but they kept all her lines acting like shes not

because shitters vault in and get blown up
death to generalist picks that are literally never bad

which hero needs a new skin most direly?

>raynor and zul'jin have almost none of that
why indeed

ragnaros
why is abathur so shit compared to zaagara for pushing? or its just me being shit? can't push back zagaara or azmodan

ray-ray used to have the advantage of being a big wall of beef
but in the one patch he was popular they nerfed the shit out of him and now he has lower hp than chromie and genji

Highlord Mograine FUCKING WHEN?

Abathur is pushes best when there is NO ONE around to get multiple loctus out. He is NOT a pusher, he's a global soaker and support hero.

If you take monstrosity commit suicide without hesitation.

>Teammate farms lane all game
>Ask for help on the objective
>No I need to be 20 first
>Objectives get taken every time
>They don't push at all
>Enemy catches them while we lose the game several levels behind

Why do people think this is league or some shit? The game is super easy to play yet people struggle with the basic concepts.

>>Objectives get taken every time
So don't commit to them. It's on him for autistically splitting from the team, but it's on you as a 4-man for not recognizing the situation and not exploiting it. The value of objectives is massively overrated on most maps. The first couple punishers do almost nothing. You don't need to die 5 times in mines, etc.

i play QM half-afking with him
i only take monstruosity when the whole team its filed with heros that deal no damage
like shitty starcraft heros or murky

yeah especially the early ones
legit only instance of feeding I've experienced was a duo who ran it down over our Xul choosing to push two lanes after somebody got picked as the objective spawned
like we came out ahead because he took four towers and the punisher got like one plus the gate or whatever

depends n the map/objective but in cases such as these you can either delay/stall while your autistic splitpusher takes structures or look to apply/maintain map pressure

Man, I was expecting a redone voice-over with d.va acting liike she's a hot shit dragon lord on top of her being a hot shit gamer gurl.

This wasn't haunted minds so you can't apply that here. The problem was we ignored the objective even if we didn't die. The guy wasn't even a specialist and stagnated their lane on purpose. So the enemy gets a free objective and free easy team fight. If they pushed more then the objective it would make sense but they didn't. So our reward for all this is a under leveled team that has most of the map pushed in before your autistic friend maybe shows up.

Explain this.

If the enemy team commits at least person to the objective, and you don't, now you're at numerical advantage on the rest of the map; this is simple common sense. It might be hard to make up for the objective depending on your comp, but there's no reason to not at least try for ganks/free structural damage. Denying merc camps, getting a fort and a couple kills are all things you can freely do if you rotate as a 4-man

He picked twin blades. I would have killed myself too.

Deathballs work too well for this to work. You might be able to grab a few camps before they get the objective and wreck havoc but that won't save unless the enemy goes full on retard.

>varian
Deserved suicide

>Garrosh
>Get rooted by Kel'thuzad
>Use Armor Up, have 75 armor
>Still instantly kills me

>Just don't get rooted lmao get good

actually you had 60 armor
also to get that much armor you had to be at 25% hp so of course you fucking died idiot. you don't have 9000 hp
(next time pic unstoppable at 4)

>hero countered by burst damage
>gets hit with burst damage
>dies
>"ummmmmm blizz wtf??????"

just parry it
just deflect it
just dimensional shift it

you can't be this bronzie right?

>>Get rooted by Kel'thuzad
you have a self-cleanse at 4 you tremendous idiot

>this is your brain on garrosh

>10 minutes in
>check stats
>valeera have 0 - 900 damage

>tfw youve been playing for a long time now and are kinda alright at the game but see your winrates dropping nearly overall

this is it boys, time for a nursing home

>playing QM, doing good
>try ranked, get shit on all over the place
i guess im just bad

>tfw win more in ranked than in quick match
i dun get it

just get good at heroes like valla, greymane and sonya

universal solo stompers

It's another "Be the clown of four premades" episode, my favourite.
They had it in overwatch and now there is a rerun on hots.

what is the meme ult, army of memes or summon memegosa

DAILY REMINDER THAT 27.07.2017 WILL BE FOREVER REMEMBERED AS A DARK DAY IN ORCISH HISTORY.

youtube.com/watch?v=SVYmPIJt2BI

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

Will you fuck off

Memedragosa because bronzies don't know how to use it.

If you're using Diablo's Shadow Charge for ANYTHING other than pushing people into walls or pushing people to your team you're THROWING THE GAME
If you're picking solo tank Diablo you're THROWING THE GAME
If you go Fire Stomp build Diablo you're THROWING THE GAME

Tell me /hotsg/ why arent you memeing people on qm?

>If you're picking solo tank Diablo you're THROWING THE GAME
yeah the dude with 7k hp, and infinite lane sustain can't solo tank

He has 7k hp because he has no team fight sustain and no armor and no mitigation

I am doing all of this and you can do nothing to stop me.

>tfw almost all my losses this season are due to a diablo on the other team making sick picks
like goddamn that charge range

pretty sure leah gets 25 spell armor at level 7 with 100 souls

charge gives armor

>guy literally never even connects
>we somehow last 24 minutes
>barely lose by the skin of our teeth
>-207
fuckity fuck fucking fuck :3


charge gives armor
magic armor on 7

WHY DO PEOPLE INSIST ON PLAYING GAZLOWE

PLEASE OH WHY MY GOD

Normal people left, autists who only push remained.

feels like he has the potential to be a niche pick on point/zone control maps like braxis, sky temple or that new one

honestly though if they buff him in his current state he'll have a 60% wr in low mmrs where people don't know why he's bad

mfw some noobfaggot on Veeky Forums writes these heresies
