Fingers crossed.

Basically all depends on which janitor is browsing at the time or if your post gets reported.

It's funny because it's true

I remember when fully clothed Monster Girl Quest threads kept getting deleted from /v/ and Veeky Forums, I even got a 3 day ban back in 2012 for a MGQ thread despite a completely SFW OP image. This was back when there were rumors that mods were trying to appeal to advertisers so they wanted a more family friendly site, not sure if that's still true or if there's just prudish mods around.

...

I adore

Let's hear those BlizzCon wishlists.

If we don't get Mengsk or Reinhardt soon I just might quit this game.

...

>>>>>>>>>>anduin
Velen would be better than that little fag

Cairne/Baine

Imperius!
Deathwing!
Firebat!

baal, mephisto, itherael, khadgar, Tichondrius, mannoroth, Mengsk, vorazun, selendis. Reinhardt.

...

>tfw nano boost thrall

Best Nazeebo build?

Which announcer do you guys use? I use Li Li because she sounds cute which makes playing this shit game easier on me.

57 hours left till reveal

I don’t use any since I find it ajarring it switches between announcers during objectives.

>deathwing
>fenix
>diablo 2 druid

Any dreadlord
Firebat
Any dragon, but in actual permanent dragon form!
Cairne
Maiev

I dare not wish for Mengsk, I've lost hope long ago.

...

Try boosting:
- Monk
- Sonya
- Arthas
- Murky
- Uther

post waifu

D.Va will always be best girl.

youtube.com/watch?v=RFvkxOtOB9A

BTW, it boosts both Cho & Gall. Combined with the fact that Chogall is easy to hit, this comp is even more broken than with Auriel.

nerf THIS
*BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP*

...

OVERWATCH CHARACTERS ARE FUCKING GAY AND STUPID AND BEING ABLE TO MOVE AND ATTACK IS FUCKING BROKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mengsk, Naz'grel, Hogger
Maybe Edwin VanCleef, but I'm afraid they'd fuck him up worse than Vareesa.

Wrong. This is the real ZULJIN GAMEPLAY MUSIC. youtube.com/watch?v=Orlbo9WkZ2E

All I want is some fucking LEWD ass heroes

>Monk
Lots of dashes and heals. There's better and worse out there. Time spent AAing is time not spent using abilities, so it's kinda counterproductive.
>Sonya
Her Rage regen simply does not keep up. Fantastic with Nano Upgrade at 20 if she has Wrath Upgrade at 20. Super lategamey and pretty much not worth aiming for unless picks coincide.
>Arthas
Doesn't need it. Frequent roots are nice, but there are better targets.
>Murky
Fantastic target provided he doesn't fucking die 1 second afterwards.
>Uther
Very good target.

will the new hallow's end skins drop in price?

I don't want some multiclass Assassin/Support shit for Alexstraza, that means you're stuck with some healslut shit if you want to support and can't give big dragon snuu snuu unless you go assassin.

But I'm willing to put up with it if I get a good Raynor rework.

Please don't try to get Zul'jin associated with this utter shite ghetto scum music.
Has none of the voodoo jam required.

About to start playing her.

What can I expect?

To pop like a balloon if you're out of position even once.

Lots and lots of stutterstepping.

Tracer, but good.

Tracer can chase kills endlessly, Valla will get fucking gutted if she tries that.

Underrated hero.
>easy for beginners but rewarding if you git gud
>fits in every comp
>3 good builds but Q build is GOAT
>never a bad pick
>fun to play

– Picked in every pro game
– Picked in most HL matches
– Top 2 ADC alongside Greymane

>underrated

is there any point in taking mage skellies as xul?
poison nova just feels so more impactful in teamfights

So which hero is overrated, in your humble opinion?

Slows, bodyblocks, tanking forts/camps/bosses without waves or enough heroes normally, little bit of extra dps, lower CD, not ineffective against ranged heroes, can't be interrupted by dazes or stuns.

Don't be a fucking pussy. Get in there and auto attack people. It's her entire fucking purpose.

we just need more lewd skins for current lewd heroes.
Summer was such a dissappointment.

>Stitches
>Tychus
Dunno, but I got my fill of mantits. Maybe try being less gay?

Almost certainly not considering the Summer skins didn't.

insta permaban from mewnfarez chat for writing NOOB after he played like a faggot and blamed others

>mewnfarez
wat

Skeleton mages do a lot more damage, they're more likely to at least do *something* in a fight (don't underestimate that slow), and they're much better at sieging.

Honestly you should default to skeletal mages and only take nova if the enemy team has a lot of aoe that easily kills them.

Oh goody. Reddit is in the thread again.

MUH AXOLOTL. MUH LEAKS

reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/7a3e72/is_this_Veeky Forums_leak_about_blizzcon_legit/

Faggots, they still don't get that literally anyone can post this shit.

Axolotl here, this is legit.

yea i read this before Junkrat came out, i mean, the heroes are probably right and the other stuff is just some good guessing/creativity.

>watching mewnshit
>being surprised you get banned for that

How do we adress the upvote-greedy redditor problem?

It's already against the posting rules for that subreddit. The mods are tired of the "leak" nonsense.

Ignore this guy, he's wrong

ignore this guy, he's wrong.

>Shit player, have yet to unlock ranked
>Decide to QM Zagara as I've never played her

Jesus christ I'm in love.

He's one of those streamers that actually gets upset and is not pretending it's pretty pathetic desu

fuck off with your overwatch cancer already you faggots those heroes are just a copy paste and theyve been ruining the game since tracer came out
just fuck off

>desert queen is 1,600 shards
>while psider is 400
end my my life

>QM is all about pve
Whoda thunk

Play murky and splitpush even better shitters in qm will kill you once then leave
the lanes you was pushing

> complains about reddit
> is himself on reddit

???

Morales is cute, CUTE.

her model needs a serious rework. or we need a good skin.

I will never get enough doritos to buy the even horse in time, this sucks so much

save for lunar event or christmas.
better skins anyway.

>lucio chest
>and abathur chest
>get 2 of this retard skins

this retard

But you don't want to be a jackass that uses Christmas skins when it's not Christmas. Whereas Halloween skins are neutral enough to be used all year.

So save them for Lunar, those are neutral enough too.
And Christmas Jaina as well as the Snowflake mount are classics, don't skip out on them.

any feeling worse than getting killed by abathur murky or tlv?

There's worse. I got killed by Fishtank Murky as a fully stacked Butcher. He didn't even use Octograb...

so is mage zuljin good now after the rework?

That "Mercy" skin is a good skin.

Its the best build for him

>spends the whole game by soloing camps and crying even though we were raping the enemy team into all holes
>calls other crabs
no you are the crab, bitch

What is a crab team?

Murky has Stitches tier HP against Butcher, and his passive regen amounts to like 3% of his life per second. You don't get heals at all from hitting him, and he'll kite you to all shit while being invulnerable.
Not surprising to me at all.

Sustain drafts that focus on fast rotations to overwhelm the enemy in Dragon Shire and Braxis, due to frequent 'sideways' movements of all their members involved. Though for Braxis it's typically only two guys if they can rotate quickly, like all globals or Genji or Medivh.

murky is so stupid strong towards the endgame, he can 1v1 most heroes.
>0.25 hero btw

AHHHHH

His biggest strenght is his deaths mattering 0 in lategame. 8s respawn is brutal if you place your eggs well, getting to fight twice or even three times and putting out lots of damage and baiting CDS like mad wrecks teams because there's no way to trade positively safe for wiping the other team fast while Murky is down.

PRESS THE BUTTON GOYIM

Safer to say the Sylv mis-spelt crap tbqh.

>playing valeera

no!

No, crab drafting is definitely a thing my friendo, sorry you're too bronze to appreciate the thought processes some people put into their picks.

The sylv still meant crap
>bronze
nah.

I prefer the frogs

do we really need more characters

Sylv may have meant that, or she may not have meant that. Unless you're the Sylv, or a player in her team and asked her, you don't know.
And I won't stand for you talking crab about crap drafting you little shit.

zag is fun

against mage heavy teams like kt jaina chromie spiders
against melee heavy teams frogs

where are the hot pictures of tyrande?

We are still like 50 behind Dota and 250 behind league so ya
