Power briefs skin when

Second for Sgt. Hammer rework when?

What, in exact terms, makes no one badder than Zul'jin?
The guy's genuinely friendly and amicable and easy-going.

how do trolls function with only 3 fingers

>makes no one badder than Zul'jin?
He dosen't wear shoes, so all that dirt that he walks in while outside gets dragged into your house.

With the "bad guy" stuff he's commenting on the fact that he and his people are considered "bad guys" for fighting off invaders and taking back their land.
He's being ironic, essentially.

youtube.com/watch?v=JmndxoF74qQ
He explains it himself here.

He's got humor going for him too?
How isn't he the best character again?

the grey skins for garrosh and thrall make them look almost exactly the same holy crap

...

That's post WC3 Zul though, not WC2 Zul we got in HotS.

He's dead.

So?

That "lmao corrupt haha wow look how cool he is fellas he's all broken and brown and stuff!!" skin for Thrall makes him look almost exactly like Garrosh, to the point where I honestly think it's an unfair advantage in hectic teamfights.

>tfw somebody fucks up the draft because they thought muradin was falstad or vice versa

>don't get close to Garrosh or he throws/taunts you
>don't get close to Thrall or he roots/bursts you
Don't get your problem. One has shitty animations and is a bald fuck, the other has a glorious mane and silky smooth animations. Axe vs Hammer.
Get your eyes lasered grandpa.

The corrupted and brown Thrall skin literally has an axe instead of a hammer.

>garrosh animations
yeah what's with those, feel like they were done in alpha and just put on a shelf or something

Try it for yourself. Tape your fingers together.

what's with garrosh making a loud grunting noise for literally everything he does including every single autoattack

That's just how he is. He's a loud mouth and a blowhard, matches his character.

This isn't an axe, this is a fucking hammer with an edge attached to the bottom. It retains the same sillhouette as the normal Doomhammer too in all angles but a total side angle.

I'd post a picture but uploads ain't working for me right now.

well that's just sort of his character
animated just feel dated though

What hero should I play if I need to kill fast and bullets to slow?

the problem comes in when you're in bot lane laning against garrosh and then garrosh rotates bot and combos you as you realize you've been laning against thrall instead

kharazim, or illidan if you're feeling nasty.

the real problem shows itself when you're having a 3v3 in mid and then a brown orc walks out of a bush and you instantly blow your escape move because you think you're about to get thrown inside their base
he then shoots some lightning instead

>somehow not noticing lightning, wolves and speedlines with meaty twack sounds
Totes garrosh bruh he just baitin' pretendin' not to be usin' his Q to catch me off guard if he does, look he's now fakin' with is illusion abilities not fallin' for that haha

like I can understand maybe mistaking them at a glance during a skirmish or team fight but in laning uh dunno

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

how come hammer's tank is smaller than half the heroes in the game
how come hammer herself is smaller than chromie
how come hammer is the only hero in the entire game who still has stoneskin and first aid

When's Maiev

>greatest warchief
shit off mate

the guy I was laning with knew what he was doing; he intentionally didn't use his abilities because he'd give away that he was thrall.

maybe you're just retarded

look dude i agree with you that they look too similar but there is no way you're not a dummy here
just look at the minimap at the very least

reminder this general is infected with reddit. 90% of posters are faggots

>90% of posters are faggots
pic related lmao

Your post violated the low quality post rule, so eat shit.

bro i have never proofread or even thought about what i post and i've never been banned for "low quality post"
how pathetic are you lmaoing at your life

it was pretty high quality post when you compare it to stuff like

>sperging out over OW and reddit is the same as mechanics, skins, and lore questions

like half those posts are me lmao
gonna filter you now btw

>quickly look at minimap
>see probius pop up and disappear
>go to kill that little nigga
>chains out of no where
>get comboed to death
>it was actually KT and not probius

God dammit why do those icons look so similar for completely different characters. Am I just retarded?

oh yeah, I'm totally the dummy here, this is just the first time I've actually experienced having skins make me mistake who a character is

i've actually had this happen to me with samuro and gul'dan
i went over to farm quest stacks on samuro images and then gul'dan horrified me and i died

Yes

bro i have that issue for about 1 second every teamfight
not in the goddamn laning phase
you know, when all 10 characters are just a total meatgrinder 2 vaguely similar-looking boys might get mixed up
but when it's just you and another dude in lane there is absolutely no fucking way you can make that mistake without being stupid, high or drunk
or playing vikings i guess

>Varian players

Rework Sonya, Hammer and Raynor plz

because if she was to scale she'd have to have raid boss stats to make up for the fact that she'd get fucking annihilated by skillshots hitting her xbox huge tank

>Sonya
You wat m8

if there's a list she'll be on it

...

lol no

Please stop triggering me.

>old
>one build
ya

looking forward to it and/or nerfs desu tired of seeing that braindead thing in literally every game

i dont really think that chromie needs nerf but damn if you play her the way you should shes a monster

...

But she has two builds

I never actually played this raid, was it fun?

>wow
>fun
Do I even need to say anything

>raiding
>fun
If you were bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, maybe. Otherwise it's just addiction.

When it was Zul'jin yeah, But when they replaced him with a literal who, it's just a random garbo dungeon

>Zul'jin doesn't land a single ult the entire game
>Blames the rest of the team for losing

>mewn gets paid more over a week in donations than wagecucks in a month
Why is this allowed

>Malthael has returned

>why do people watch and donate to one of the four people who stream
idk probably some attempt to show support for ded gaem

Seems like more than 4 people stream this game.

Hello anons, i have a question for thee.

Recently i moved to Germany and started going to school there, ( am 19 but have to get my german language degree before i can apply for jobs in my field)

Im a League player, and ranked quite high at that (top 5%)

Most of the people in my class play mobas, some play dota 2, most play league and were pretty amazed at my rank but it was w/e for me. But there is one dickhead that plays hots.

Now i have no problem with the game, however. He keeps bragging about how he has a contract with logitech and that he´s getting 600 euro a month for playing the game? He even showed us the documents, paypal trails so it all seems legit, now here´s the kicker, he´s only plat 5. Like i dont know how hots works in ranked but that is a VERY low rank to get payed to play in league. Part of me wants to believe him but a large part of me just thinks he´s lying.

But the thing is, he keeps getting calls from logitech about his payments etc, could perhaps somebody from the hots community inform me about what Im missing? Is he telling the truth or just a very elaborate lie?

Mm ranks don't matter if you go to events and compete or stream. Plenty on csgo players get sponsored that are trash ranks

>Platinum 5 in Hots
>600 euro a month
Damn, lucky guy.

Maybe he's just a popular streamer. Rank/mmr doesn't matter as long as you get the views.

Well he looks like a retarded nerd, short,skinny,pimples so Im guessing he´s not a streamer.

sounds like most players/streamers desu
who knows, maybe he lucked out

mewn sucks anyway. He used to be fun to watch when he still lived with his parents but nowadays he's pretty conceited and lame. chu8 is where it's at.

Getting sponsored has nothing do with being one of the best. Some of the best get fuck all because they're autists with no camera presence.

Everyone that gets sponsored in any game get sponsored because they're popular and thus will attract a crowd which generates brand awareness for their sponsor

where do i find good players to play with?

Not here

you're probably better than most, the bar is that low

best and most pure and most perfect girl

>dumbdumbs want to do boss instead of a free keep or ending the game

>Get pick late game on Haunted Mines
>Right as the skeletons spawn underground

>Team starts to make their way to mine shaft
>Ping Keep and tell them we can force it

>They follow me
>Enemy doesn't try to defend 4v5
>We just kill their core while they have 60 skulls xD

Im sure their golem will save them post-game

grunts and other forms of air exhaling naturally become a habit when you do physically strenuous work. I dont know the full science behind it, but its actually a help for body builders to force air out when lifting. I presume that this rule would apply in some way to all forms of lifting or moving activities.

THE ALPHA WARCHIEF

THE VIRGIN SHAMAN

Is that taken from a larger picture of the original version?

>Not posting the full image

>versus jaina uther kael kerrigan muradin
>we have ana
Guess her build.
Spoiler: speed serum

>dumbdumbs want to feed in an unnecessary 1v5 instead of grabbing the boss
He was playing Jaina on a fucking phone.

>They were amazed at ny rank but it's w/e for me.
Damn that humblebrag though.

I mean i've got a 9 inch dick but some girls think it's too big you know haha

>top 5% of league
>quite high
>d5 is top 2%
that's pretty yikes if it was a brag desu

>tfw blizzcon is close and i've lost will to play

>Vs 3 stealth heroes
>Our murky doesn't take vision

Threadly reminder that Maiev's VA is ded and is never ever

>prepick anubalisk
>my team bans anub
>haha sorry thought it was dehaka

Today I went from silver 1 to almost silver 4, I know I'm a terrible player since I started playing not long ago, but man, my team mates doesn't know how to draft, they always prepick and don't look at the enemy draft.

I wanted to git gud at the game and climb the ladder but I'm starting to lose my motivation, I think I will keep playing starcraft 2 since in that game I can learn and improve by myself.
