Actual Previous; OP's macro sucks:

why not just get rid of all the heals then? no one likes supports. seriously, no one will say "i'd rather just sit in the back line and heal than merc or duel another." continue making all globes neutral, reduce the cd on fountains, and get rid of heals or at least make healing not the main point of the skill anymore.

3rd for deer pussy

Yes, almost exclusively.

This is my Illidan build, go ahead and say something about it.

something about it.

Well, he was rather determined to make Medivh work. I distinctly recall games being thrown for Dyrus/Voy, though.

He blamed his team and only wanted to play Medivh so whatever

I like the IDEA of the hammer rework, but fuck me if it doesn't feel shitty. She needs the mobile poke range. Just from a testing in PTR, it's harder to rocket forward and finish people now. Feels bad.

She also is much slower at killing buildings. I really wanted to lane bully with new mechanics, but they couldn't even give me one damn patch with it :/

Mana changes are nice, tho.

>deerfags

Patch going up tomorrow

Just a quick update

Bets?

MMR hell edition.

>no lili
>no bw

reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/7g6g5v/supports_listen_to_me_together_we_are_strong/

We officially start the Support Strike.

All support mains and allies; stop playing supports at all, in every game mode.

Let's show Blizzard that we won't accept this change

Stay strong sisters/brothers/siblings :3

your list is shit

actual bet red team, but since people never post when they lose, you obviously won

i thought he was spamming rehgar

>still guld 4

Assuming no retarded and Zagara actually knowing when to split and when to Nydus in, blue

Hahaha I'll play Stukov with my unchanged HP/AA and just slap people dead and enjoy my free wins because the enemy didn't draft a fucking support, good idea!
Keep going until Blizzard buckles under the weight of our consciousness.

Are you trying to grief your team or something?

As well as yourself? Because if there's any fun to be had with this build I can't fucking see it.

So what are they going to do supports that are already shit at soloing? I would imagine there would be no point to play them.

>Assuming someone on HOTS wont be retarded

Oh you sweet summer child.

what happens if i take twin varian without the heal on hit talent? parry talents are orgasmic, but maan i really need that heal

>Because if there's any fun to be had with this build I can't fucking see it.
You can't see the fun in an Illidan with an attack speed of 2.22 per second who also hits as hard as Leoric?

what happens is you'll stay in bronze forever

:^)

It was a long game.

heroes of the storm is for literal retards, why dont you all play dota instead of this steaming pile of shit

Muted until christmas day :joy:

WORDS ARE HURTFULL!!!

>doesnt like deers

KAMEHAMEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Next week is Xmas update?

>flamer
>zarya player
>eu
Consider suicide

I haven't been able to queue as much as I'd like. Wanted to do a climb from Bronze prior to the changes to see how it compares to performance-based next season.

>getting silenced
Oh, come on.

How to play the post rework Leoric? There's like 3 builds on icyveins.

>hero level 71

I don't know what's worse: people reporting trashtalkers, or scrubs who won't stop talking trash instead of concentrating on their game

Don't try to pass it as only one time, either. I just got my first one day silence and that was after months of repeatedly talking shit and throwing every other game, with people reporting me every time, or at least they said so in chat. I know exactly how shit you must behave to get Blizzard to actually punish you in this game.

Yeah.

Say nigger once in chat and every report is almost gonna be a mute

>They're significantly nerfing every healer
>Now they wont do enough healing, so they'll have to go double support
>It's not worth to play support anymore

Guys, how can I be this retarded ? I want whatever everyone else is smoking.

Good, go back to LoL teenrager.

Sup Reddit!

Why use a mediocre healer over another DPS?

>Butthurt mutedfags

Another thing.

Garrosh getting though picks/bans edition.

Hello? Traitors? Pls respond

you start by not using icyveins

All money on red team

Who had the best title screen upon release?

Is there a channel on youtube with all of them?

>I don't know what's worse: people reporting trashtalkers
>Not baiting people into shit talking before reporting them and laughing
Step up your griefing

>icyveins

Post-leoric is pretty talent flexible so there's no one set build for him every match. Both of his ultimates are actually viable now instead of it Entomb being autopick every game (March has even become the more popular choice). There's only a few talents that are not worth taking on him.

>Step up your griefing
I play Junkrat every game.

>Queue with friends
>Both our pugs are silenced
>Friends and I bully and harass them because they can't talk ball
>Treat them like the muted plebian they are
>Can sense the autistic screeching behind their clusters of five pings
>Can't even get muted in return because I don't swear or trash talk, just disregard them

>so there's no one set build for him every match
Unless you're facing a team with a strong frontline, they March+Mithril Mace+Spectral Leech is mandatory.

>Supports don't heal enough
>Double support becomes necessary
>Blizzard nerfs support healing even more

Triple support meta time?

Why are teams retarded.

I just want to be a support/Alex main, but I get shitters.

Yep. Bad time to experiment with talents.

Is that PTR?

No this is live ???

No, 2 tank and burst meta.

Why do I feel like people will still bitch they can't find the stealther?

>Single support does heal enough
>Pro players however are so shit that they need double support

Then they'll just make them more visible.

I see, so that's how it is hmm

Such a good draft, to have it thrown away

>he thinks that's why double support was meta
silver surfer detected

I think junkrat is both Fun and semi-viable - albeit lacking a bit of Q damage

But it is

Why is your shit orange?

Probably color blind mode.

Everyone says that, but it's not ?? That's red ?? It's colourblind mode, makes it easier to see some things. Regular mode is too bold.

Bets ?

>Actually got a GM to disconnect my silence contest ticket by calling him a SJW drone when I told him hate speech doesn't exist
Surprised I didn't get banned.

what hero do i spam if i want to climb HL?
rehgar?

You really showed him

>colorblind people can't see red but they can see blue and orange
thats fucking retarded, if they are colobling then they can't see anything, they are just blind, because anything visible is a color of some sort

Valla/Greymane, an assassin with waveclear, and good damage

>an assassin with waveclear, and good damage
So Rehgar.

I'm sad that people like that even exist.

You mean the guy who they are nerfing in a matter of hours?

>he doesn't know

Is there anything better in this game than bullying a silenced teammate when you're losing?

>Nazeebo silenced (all silencedfags are specialist players)
>"Hey Naz, why do you have so few stacks?"
>"Naz, you know that you're supposed to wall them off, not me, right?"
>"Naz, we lost that engage because of you"

Even thinking about it makes me smile like an idiot. You can feel their hatred even though they can't say anything. It's a tantric experience, I highly recommend it.

Thoughts on new Sgt. Hammer?
Where's that one "REWORK HAMMER FFS" fucker now?

I think at that point he was trapping you on purpose.

>still no raynor rework

Kek, I hope so

B-stepping relentlessly after solo-killing someone you're supposed to lose to on paper.

>>"Naz, you know that you're supposed to wall them off, not me, right?"
>>"Naz, we lost that engage because of you"
Yeah, that's the idea.

how the fuck am i meant to get out of diamond
my team goes full unga every other game
last game i had some guy who didn't speak english lastpick a butcher into a garrosh and just eat dick the whole game

I'm pretty sure all the support changes are going to go live with big patch, with Hanzo release. So he still has time to climb.

I'm not colourblind, it's just easier to see certain things. I think the regular mode puts too much eye strain for me, because everything is in an ugly bold.

The support patch notes are for November 29th.

What would you call it if someone can't see some colors?

>my team goes full unga every other game
So you're the bunga?

yes i believe it goes "me bunga team unga" does it not

optically retarded

I don't mind losing at all though, and you just know that they are fuming and seeing red from being bullied all game long

trash list get the fuck out.

Oh that's retarded af then. They should've had them go live when the new season started. Right now, it's going to mess everyone up.

At least I get to play Alex solo support, without being forced double support then. Ana too, this might actually be great then, wtf.

Not really what retard means. You don't get the ability to seem ore colors as you get older.
