Prepare to be just as mad but now you will have a number to be mad and 5 minutes before every match begins to fume about it while the draft goes on.

They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

Quick Match just pissed me off. I'm done. I'm about to try my frist ranked match. Any tips?

Are you done with the garrosh pasta?

Prepare to be just as mad but now you will have a number to be mad and 5 minutes before every match begins to fume about it while the draft goes on.

pick lost vikings and win every game

>They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!

See, that IS genuinely interesting and all, but I literally refuse to browse le reddit out of principle.

>that IS genuinely interesting and all
not really

I'm not Garroshanon.

I just haven't posted it in a long time.

I think it's alright for news but that's about it

comfort>comp/meta, at least to a degree
don't counterpick yourself too hard
don't argue with people, especially once you're in the game
mute distracting cunts who won't shut up
focus on improving your own play because in the end that's all you can reliably do
have fun

good hunting

So what hero is next?
Will it be another overwatch character?

Guesses? I spent gems on these boxes, so don't be jealous.

Fuck it, I screwed that up twice. Whatever. STREAK BROKEN.

Now if only I could win a goddamned game as Ana.

Friendly reminder Hanamura is coming back so forgetting the pain is bad for you.

Don't you love it when people try to tower dive you solo like they're playing Dota?

Any insight to the current meta before I queue?

Maybe characters to avoid like the plague?

itll be phara :)

HOLY SHIT I'M SO FUCKING MAD

JUST TAKE THE FUCKING BOSS HOLY SHIT HOW FUCKING HARD IS IT YOU INCOMPETENT SHITSTAINS I HATE THIS GODDAMN GAME SO MUCH

uh mostly just difficult, niche and/or easily counterpicked heroes

>medivh
>abathur
>vikings
>butcher

oh yikes

Man how the hell do people just allow themselves to keep falling for Garrosh over and over? I understand like once, twice, maybe even three times a match, but how do you not wisen up and stand back after getting pulled six or seven goddamn times?

I swear the only reason Garrosh is considered good is because nobody ever learns.

From the first engage on Falsted kept "disconnecting" every time he died. Which was often.

Right, your internet just happens to drop you for 2 minutes just before you die.

You need to learn to adapt. If they wanted tower you should of taken a tower and won.

I'm sorry, I was so angry that I wasn't thinking straight. I meant fort, not tower. Taking a tower would be perfectly logical in that situation, unlike trying to take a fucking fort.

>do something like half a mil hero damage getting lots of kills
>somehow team can't get kills
>enemy team is walking around with no hp the entire game
>some little faggot on the team says quote "we have no damage"
>they just decide to throw in the towel after 30min and we lose.

Reminder that not dying is more important than getting kills

Reminder that hero damage done is irrelevant and secure kills matters more

...

I'd fug ana

Who wouldn't?

Is Abathur comfy? being a 'behind the scene' supporter sounds neato

Those ears are jigglier than the stiff ass.

3 / 10

So against my better judgment, I tried again after breaking the loss streak with Valeera.

And of course a three-stack is three megapushers on a fuckhueg map.

This fucking GAME, man.

we need more titty monsters.

Comfy to KILL.

You don't have to worry about blocking names here, friend.

I find him stressful. Have you tried Azmodan?

we already got sonya kerrigan and nova

i do like azmodan and zagara,especially zagara map presence

Maybe you should just play Dota.

When does Azmo, Nazeebo and Zagara almost every game stop working anyways, this is kind of fun

Which is why Genji is considered so good, yeah? He isn't really great damage, but he secures shit.

Why exactly? everytime i play assassin i fuck up and die,i am a sucky warrior and a horrible tank

i only play specialists,you win by killing the core,not enemy heroes

Where do I subscribe to your blog?

I'd even fug gray puss ana

I love saggy boobies

Where the FUCK is Maiev!?

Implying Old Ana isn't superior in every way to begin with over basic bitch young Ana.

Shit taste senpai

Update. I got absolutely shit on in my first match as Arthas trying to play with the team. Easily mollywhopped the second game by playing Rehgar, ignoring my team, and only capturing camps. wtf I love ranked now

Will Maiev have bigger tiddies than Tyrande in her priestess skin.

Quick! Post three heroes from each major franchise you want to see in the game!

>Warcraft
Alexstrazsa
Deathwing
Jaraxxus

>Starcraft
Samir/Narud
Firebat hero
Mengsk

>Diablo
Mephisto
Baal
Adrian

>Overwatch
Reinhardt
Bastion
Sombra

Blizzard needs to stop this "every new skin is a legendary" meme. It's not a Legendary unless it has completely new voice lines.

Who gives a shit about voice lines.
It's not legendary unless it has new effects

Reaper when?

>Greymane's Frankenstein skin is a complete overhaul with new effects and sounds and everything
>But he has the exact same voice lines and interactions as vanilla Greymane

Would it really have hurt them to go the fucking last mile? Jesus.

Techincally yes, they need to get the actors back in to record new lines which is why Legendaries cost more.

They could have at least messed with the pitch of his voice or distorted it a bit or something.

>no model/animation changes
>no themed voiceover
>no facial animation
>only two barely themed abilities
>1600
I'm still upset.

Valla skin.

That's the major difference between Dota and LoL+HotS.

It's Defense of the Ancients, not Defense of the Heroes.

The problem with maining specialists is that you're severely missing a chunk of game knowledge that goes into winning. There's more to playing a specialist than just split-pushing. There's more to MOBAs than just split pushing.

That can go bad too. Remember when Sgt. Doomhammer came out and it had the worse voice effect ever plastered on it?

Oh my god. My girlfriend and I laughed about that for like an hour when that happened. I totally forgot.

I wish I were an art-er so I could edit this to actually give Femablo AN ASS

burning hells and TERROR not Ireland ok

I want to fuck zagaras upper half

>Shoehorning your gf in for no reason

>Warcraft
Baron Rivendare

Druid
Gharbad the Weak

>Overwatch
Mei
McCree
Hanzo

>My girlfriend and I
>tfw no hots playing gf

>being this triggered

lol

Don't bully the normalfaggots, they don't have anything else of value in life so they have to talk about their girlfriend/boyfriend whenever possible to not seem like a loser.

>tfw your aim on Ana is so bad that your teammates start standing still for you

I hope she cheats on you with a black guy with AIDS so you can die and we'll never have to see you again.

yfw

hope not maiev is small breasted shy girl

Is Alexstrasza the next hero?

A small breasted shy girl who will torture you in a prison cell for 10 thousand years

hey pal whats wrong with ireland women?

yfw

>Baron Rivendare
>Darion Mograine
>Gamon
>Warrior
Oh man, good taste ano-
>Mei
So close.

Blizzard teased her and hanzo in the KZ videos.

I and my penis like this. More Alexstrasza lewds would make me happy.

Your penis is a man of culture.

dont lewd the dragon mother

Do dragon mothers lactate?

Yes.

>mfw just noticed where cho'gall is on the new halloween load screen

But who is on the horse flying in the background?

The headless horseman, the boss in towers of doom.

Reptiles don't lactate. She does lay hundreds of eggs though.

from her butt?

what do they smell like?

From her cloaca.

sharkhaka when?

...

Different person
add /user/chasedogman to that list as well


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
