LANCEL, FETCH ME THE BOOOOOOAAAAAAR STRETCHER

Last time she got buffs she was the most OP healer in the game by a large margin. They'll never let that happen again.

Does anybody have a more worthless trait than Samuro? I've gotten him to 15, attack moved all the damn time, and not once have I felt like it has actually helped me keep up with somebody. Just get 25% bonus movespeed only to be bodyblocked by your own illusions.

Even Tyrael's trait has actually helped me win fights before.

-pins u-

Li Li's is his trait but worse so yes

The movespeed talent at 20 makes him sonic the hedgehog so it's not entirely useless.

>no dick

w-why would she need one?

>replying to futafaggots

So would Butcher a d Stitches get along?

Because pinning is only sexy when they can violate you.

why would she need a dick to violate you
are you gay user ?

but girls can also fug user

>divine palm self
>zarya shields me

There's nothing gay about taking a dick from a bigger and stronger alpha who can literally break you in half with how hard they pound into you. Especially if they squeeze your neck enough to let you know they could crush your wind pipe but they're not doing it because of some sort of affection.

Not sexy.

I need some help getting back to diamond. What are some hot flamin' tips for a shitter like me to just win every game?

go murky split push to win

just zeebo or azmo every game

You've gotten fat

never first pick an assassin

*first picks Zeratul*

>get first pick
>everybody counterpicks you
>get last pick
>get to decide between the two supports left open
slight suffering

Is ZJ even a good dps hero? I cant decide between ZJ and Ty

Double support makes me want to claw my eyes out I hate it so fucking much

He's about to be good, and personally I find him much more fun than Tyrande.

>Ty
Tyrande?
Tyrael?

Zul'jin is good. You want axe.

I think he means tychus

Make way for da bad guy.

>get to decide between the two supports left open
Since when were you under the impression that:
(a) You can only pick a support, and
(b) Filling support will actually matter for your team's shit draft?

If I get a retard draft like 2+ specialists with no damage, or 4 squishy assassins and bruisers who can't solo tank, then I'm going to pick something like an assassin or Anub respectively instead of praying a solo support pick actually changes things.

ZJ shred tanks with his Q but gets shit on once the ult runs out.. and the 0 mobility is shit too

lads Im stuck in plat 1 what to do?

Is there a more durable and tight-controlling brawler than Artanis? I really like his style of being able to dive and chase while not instantly eating shit.

Are there going to be separate loot chests for the halloween event or should I stockpile my lootboxes?

yes

test

What maps do we need most badly, I pitch actual mash up maps where settings are actually clashing

that would be interesting,
i'd like a warcraft or hearthstone map

Mmmmm imagining all the things i'm gonna do to the junkrat tomorrow makes me so wet
His squishy hp sure knows how to make a girl long for some quality bully time

>Rocket ride
What did they mean by this?

...

>Finished a game with Butcher where I had 380 stacks of meat
My basic attack was dealing 680 damage, I was a unstoppable demon of death. Does the meat ever cap?

This game is filled with trolls.

Why do you still play?

Imperius when? Itherael when?

Which heroes would you MFK?

Marry: Lunara

Fuck: Sylvanas

Kill: Nova

>ranked
>everyone picks assassins
>last player is always forced to play support
every time

It's really funny because when i'm the last player i just pick an assassin anyway even though everyone in the chat is like PICK SUP, SUP PLS
Like wtf nigger, i'm not gonna pick a role i don't enjoy just because of you 4 retards. If you want a sup then YOU play a sup.

Marry Sonya
Fuck Sonya
Kill Murky

Junkrat is Tuesday, not Monday.

Today is monday you retard

>If you want a sup then YOU play a sup.
Fuck yeah.

>pick naz a decided to do some split pushing all game just for fun
>some faggot reghar cries about it all match
>Y U NO HELP TEAM ;___;;;;;
>lose hard
>requeue and get placed with the crybaby again, he is banning this time

i am losing rank points but holy shit this is so much fun

It's still Sunday, you retard.

>americans

>russians

>d2 amazon and hots amazon are voiced by the same va
that's really fucking neat yo

>Not picking Kael'Thas for a free win and whispering him "ggez, welcome for carry" before reporting him
It's like you want to be cucked desu.

avarage iq of americans must be closer to 50 than 100

Zil'jin is so fun

To be fair it's not their fault. Their school system is shit. I've known subsaharan Africans exchange students whose common core level is way higher than American one. I've once met a bitch from Washington DC who explained me there were 32 different genders and knew all of them but couldn't tell me the flags of Mexico, Spain or Canada even though she was 1/8th Mexican and came to Spain in a 4 months exchange.

>Their school system is shit.
What is happening here is they will shut down schools in majority black neighborhoods because of "low test scores" (like it's the building's fault and not the people in it). Then they move all the blacks into the suburban schools and dumb everything down because little Jamal can't read and talk like a normal human being. I've taken upon myself to teach my niece about science and math because her teachers are just glorified babysitters at this point.

You sure are an autist kiddo.
If you eve crahland on a deserted island do you think that naming all us states will help you survive? No. You will die like the own piss drinking bitch you are.
Only useful facts like survival or match and shit are worth learning, literally learning anything cultural is a WASTE of time

Are you an orc irl?

>like it's the building's fault and not the people in it
Like it's the peoples fault and not the lack of funding black majority schools get.

stop shoving Cancerwatch characters in this game.

So what are you doing in a an Albanian tea growing forum talking about vidya then? Go shoot and skin some rabbits.
Btw I will be named lawyer next year and have been the major of the school/high school/uni 6 times out of 10 years. I still am a reservist. Being fit and knowing how to survive doesn't mean you have to be dumb, it's not like being blind which helps you hear better. I can solve up to 2 factor equations, name all the countries in a map, resolve a practical case problem in law, shoot an Arab with my famas in a train station if he chimps and provoke huge amounts of salt by grilling niggers down with Kael'Thas. You on the other hand are just a redneck who has the same knowledge as a literal sheboon like says.

>name all the countries in a map,
But can you sing them?

>albanian
You use eastern, destinctively asian countries for this meme, fucking retard

>Albanian Tea Growing forum
>not a North Korean Glorious Leader Approved Board of Images of His Radiance

t. brainlet on damage control

All the overwatch characters are bullshit, being able to auto attack while moving is broken as fuck, and also overwatch sucks anyway and I hate being reminded it exists

No you don't faggot. You use irrelevant countries.
>Being assblasted over someone misspelling your Bolivian man-lama love dating website

Should I do it, chums?

You take that back, Ana's a good girl who doesn't move while shooting.

look at those shit graphics
everything looks like it is made out of clay
kinda nostalgic it reminds me of my playstation 2
get a good graphics card poorfag

Having an expensive computer won't help you win matches you faggoty loser.

She's guilty by association and also for being a support that people can suck at

I don't think you got the right post there buddy.

I remember when overwatch wasn't out yet. Dehaka was released. Good times.

>not playing the SNES version of HotS with the mario paint mouse

oh boy, you are very wrong if you think people could be only trash on ana as support, i have seen some shit man

And Zarya is a good girl who only wants to protect her team and deal damage herself while beating down idiots.

all blizzard games are a big steaming pile of shit that is drenched in piss and vomit awaiting for someone to appreciate its' autistic lore
heroes of the storm should've been filled with OC heroes and some starcraft skins
world of warshit, diablo dead game, and overmeme are fucking terrible
the only halfway decent series that holds this game together is starshit

>Abathur is a bad hero

Actually it will you autist, because at the highest graphics settings it's easy to see cloaked heroes.

That's a trap. It's easier to spot them in medium settings. Also fuck around with contrast a little bit.

>3.000 games
>750 hours?
considering suicide yet?

how? My abathur is lvl 5 and i had to bot some of the games because he is so incredibly boring to play i couldn't even last in those few 20 min watches

Someone is jealous!

I have close to 3000 matches as well over 2 years but I usually don't play the same hero past level 15. It gets boring pretty quick. So I bet on autism as well.

my abathur is 30 but i just half-afk him since i started using him
>1.365 matches
>been playing a few months (and played a little when it come out of beta 2 years ago) , and for ragnaros release

>hop in a QM game as Tychus
>enemy Muradin, Uther, Zarya,

Delicious.

you know how Dota has Invoker and Meepo, 2 heroes that are really unique and really fun, showing a high skill ceiling and what the game is capable of?
now imagine a friend asking you to show him the coolest most unique HOTS hero.
wich one would you show him? Hard mode:no chogall

>Most unique
Abathur

Murky, Hammer, Abathur, Dehaka.
