>I can't climb the ranks cuz I get bad teams hur hur hur

What are the chances we get firebat and Imperivs next?

This is Khaldor. Say something nice about him.

>leavers and nova games every second game
>hurr must be you

I enjoy his work in Brazzers.

Whats the point of the PTR when I cant actually play a game with humans, every single game has an estimated 600 second wait time, and even after 10 minutes theres no guarantee you'll find anything

Not even just with Hanzo, with any of the characters with changes.

And yet magically when I first got on the ptr and was playing games to unlock my gems to buy hanzo, games were popping up fast asf.

What gives

nah dats a skinhead

Post webms

Is Alexstrasza good for a beginner?

Yes.

I prefer his work with NaughtyAmerica and Reality Kings but for sure you can't question his dedication to the work.

>Meanwhile the Thrall just about gets the nuke

I feel like that's more the Genji's victory as he was able to distract the Junkrat long enough for his team to get the Nuke. Sure he shouldn't have panicked after getting tossed into the fort, but the Junkrat still had to follow him to secure the kill and that was what probably gave Genji's team the time to secure the ball.

>Just finished a match where I had a suicide splitpushing Azmodan on CURSED HOLLOW of all maps
>Lost because allies refused to group up and take the objective

Why can't LoLbabbies and Dotards fuck off back to their own games already? I'm tired of getting matched with fucking retards who refuse to do the objective. All they do is spend the whole game in lane, refusing to join team fights or contribute anything. Then they use your deaths as an argument, when the only reason they have less in the first place is because they spend their time far away from the action. And besides, K/D isn't very important in this game when more than half of the maps let you instantly win simply by doing the objective. A lot of maps even downright punish you for laning. Sure, you can say that dying gives the enemy more xp, but the team that does the objective ALWAYS wins. Always.

>when I queue as one of characters 99% of people on the server want to play at the same time, I can't find a game
>when I queued as anything else it was faster
>what gives??

>Pick nova for quest games to get gems
>30 second queue
>Pick nova now
>Never ending queue

try again

...

Try Kel-Thuzad, his is pretty quick right now.

But KT wasnt changed tho. Was he? Whats the point

That was a beautiful game

It's a test environment not a fucking free trial
If you can't wrangle 9 other idiots to play customs with then just uninstall it

>the nerfing of double supports will tune down greymane

Yes nigga and I wanna test the changes but I cant do that because the queue times are too long on the actually changed heroes. Issa flaw.

>Wrangle 9 other idiots for customs

This is the most sensible solution but whos got the time really

If you don't have the time don't play PTR. It will be live in like 6 days.

Don't mind me

Just killing your tanks and lowering your rank

Don't need your help making threads, newfriend.

Why is Malthael dressed so lewdly?

He's slender

>Killing your tanks
GET OUT OFF HERE

You are weak

You are weak

Forgot my image

The fuck happened

...

...

Is Zeratul's new ulti viable? I always loved his Follow Through playstyle but for the life of me couldn't use VP efficiently, so this rework sounds like it's tailored perfectly for me

Yeah it's good.

I plan to go full cleave build with that ult and upgrade. Just blink into deathballs, mash q and r, and blink out. Plus you get decent waveclear.

>Wraith Strikes behind you

pyro-blasted the detonating mech?

Phoenix hitting mech while it explodes

By any chance, did any of you guys save the drawing I made I think one or two months ago?
It had a bunch of horde characters and misha holding a banner I think with glowing eyes. My laptop got stolen so I lost all my shitty drawings.
Thanks in advance

Phoenix could destroy indestructible objects, so if it shot at an exploding mech every hit counted as a 0.5 kill and awarded exp for it, too.
Could even destroy the Hanamura safespace gates.

Got you niBBa

>Rexxar instead of Rehgar for a true orc comp
Halflings need not apply

ah right, forgot about phoenix wankiness

Thanks man!
Rexxar was there just to justify Misha

>Rexxar was there just to justify Misha
For what purpose

Misha is a qt pet?

So question. Earlier I had a game in braxis where I got to ban and had no idea what to pick, and garrosh didn't seem worth banning on that map. The team suggested kaeltas and that I get. But they also suggested li li for our 2nd ban. Is there anything special about li li on braxis or were they just covering their asses because we were running heavy AA and they needed a blind support ?

And for that matter, what the fuck do you do about Sonya? I can kinda win the lane against her with alarak but he feels so low impact everywhere else that I don't think he's worth picking just for the laning phase against her

>It's another "wipe on the last boss in the heroic brawl because the guy who was told to pick a support picked Zarya and the other one was lili" episode

This is why I hate banning.
That first ban can be super impactful, but how the fuck you gonna know.

Lili/KT is decent for Braxis, Naz might be better than KT for 1st ban (ritual gets stacks from zergs right?)
LiLi is a good support right now, Malf, Lucio, BW would have also all been good bans assuming they didn't have a global or much CC or had a comp that could use the speedboost

>Decide to play some Hammer
>Team constantly clears merc camps instead of pushing with objective despite talent / heroic advantage + hammer
END ME

But user if we don't get the mercs the other team might

>And for that matter, what the fuck do you do about Sonya?
You play Tychus, Rexxar with hungry bear or Artanis.

>KT
He said Kael'thas not Kel'thuzad

To be fair both Kel and Kael are decent aoe picks which aren't quite as good as Naz on braxis

who the fuck pick Nazeebo on Braxis ?

...

Kel doesn't have the same wave clear as Kael so I'd say that Kel is the weaker pick on Braxis.

I thought Hanzo would be released this week...
Is he coming on the 12th/13th December?

Yes

There a discord for the Veeky Forums? Thinking about getting into TL but don't have enough m8s to do good comps. Joined the text channel in HotS and not many people have grouped up.

There is.

Chad fire mage Vs virgin frost mage.

>the betrayer betraying himself
Perfection

These people aren't good enough to be worth playing with. Trust me. You'd better join the German or Spanish language chat if you're in Europe and speak a little german or Spanish. These are the only 2 nationalities besides Nordics that have decent players. Bongs and frogs (I'm French btw) are all utter losers and all of Eastern Europe and Italy deserve a range ban from HL/TL.

>tfw sunibee will never draw Li Li art

He will for the right price, or we can get Shadman to do it.

But personally I wish that Sindoll would make Some li li lewds

Harrison Jones when?

So do you guys have an idea who's coming next after Hanzo?

another memewatch hero for sure

Well, even if everyone sucks, I'd still like some people to just team up with and play some QM or unranked with. Most of the people I play with have different time zones/work schedules, so people to play with would be fun. Pls help

why tf is hanzo not out yet

discord.gg/r3KwqK

Here's the link.

Maiev.

You can also use Veeky Forums chat ingame.

>Enemy core on 10%
>Team scrambles for nukes

Next week.

Anduin as multiclass hero

keep dreaming, I want her too though

We need Putress. That way you can gass the enemy team AND your team for being the little shits that they are.

This habitual AFKer who goes "I'm gunna afk cause you guys suck and need to be taught a lesson" has been in the last 3 of my 4 games. His name is "Herneyyy" and I tracked him down online and found out his name is Herney Pulgarin from NY and now IDK what to do with this information

Send him some pizza or crash his fucking windows, fuck if I know, but we're nit your personal army.

>still no Zagara

FreeFarflungFeline

you've asked this before and the answer is still no

>Why can't LoLbabbies and Dotards fuck off back to their own games already?

play whatever's fun tho

>climbed from silver 5 to gold 5 yesterday
>now in gold only get games that are thrown on draft, my only win was as a 3 sup comp
I can't stand it anymore, I don't mind losing fairly but it's like I get all the retards of the league on my team

>enemy core at 5%
>teammates try finish it one by one
>we lose
EVERY

FUCKING

TIME

Just copy her WC3 skills and tweek a bit like Samuro and others.

Congrats, you got a Zeratul skin.

Imperius when? Itherael when?

>Shadow Strike, Blink, Fan of Knifes
God fucking damn it. I wasn't thinking.

You could just make maiev a zeratul skin, who would mind?

Maiev fans.

Firebat, Mal'ganis and Belial if you believe last thread's user
