they could completely gut all of garrosh's abilities, leaving only his E, and people would still hate him because they're fucking retarded

Garrosh's actual passive is making people retarded

>Garrosh's actual passive is making people retarded
All the people claiming he did anything wrong is a proof of that

Everything about Hanzo feels wonky as fuck even when you are landing shit. The only thing that feels decent is aoe stun which is just an ashe arrow. Part of me wishes the scatter arrow won't be wasted if it hits the enemy.

>MVP despite rarely ever leaving my lane and never participating in teamfights
I thought this was supposed to go to the team player?

Hanzo is fun and good.

>play against hanzo as any character without ridic mobility or dive (or if the hanzo has anything to punish dive on his team)
>he just constantly shits out free damage
>nobody ever has any health
>healers never have any mana

Literally one of the best poke in the game, if not the best in terms of sheer sustained damage. Play of the game is hype as fuck too.

lack of deaths is a huge part of mvp, also you had way more damage and siege than anyone on your team. Who were you playing?

I rather play Chromie at that point with less of the effort and more of the reward.

>that guy who drafts leoric when a tank is needed

What would be needed to make a relatively balanced fire-themed team with him?

Really? Hanzo is way easier imo. Chromie you either have to be fighting ungas or you have to be sneaky or see into the future sometimes. Much more guaranteed damage with Hanzo and he can escape before level 11. Although Chromie is pretty fun and bye bye makes you unkillable if they can't stun you.

Plus temporal loop can be cleansed but play of the game at 20 for hanzo is essentially a global psuedo mosh pit.

>use dragon strike on a teamfight
>retards on the other team fall for the "it's shit" and "it does no damage" meme
>they just fucking stand in it
>free easy 7-10k damage
>proceed to kill their support from a safe distance
>win teamfight
>chase down the survivors with mounted archery and Q build
I love handsoap

ALL shall suffer user, even his own team

BAINE and cowking. so they can have excellent interactions about ruling cow-people together

Chromie has some of the strongest area control/denial in the game. Slowing sands and triple timetrap is pure fucking nonsense on any map where you need to control a space (eg braxis).

You don't know how bad I want Cow king and just Mooooo all the people.

Its not that hard to predict movement and most retards always group up for team fights even if you keep hitting that tank your damage starts to add to a point you easily take out the enemy while Hanzo can't miss a beat without falling off hard. Hanzo has too much shit blocking him most of the time and has to shoot from the edge to be an annoyance. Both of them great pokes but I prefer late game power.

I would guess that he's going to be a tank and do aoe damage for his regular attacks. Dunno what else.

second was meant for this

Anyone win more than 7/10 of their placements? I went 7/10 and got Masters 1000.

played this game in the beta
hear they have been updating and really stepping up the game and there is a new ranked matchmaking? just wondering on who is good now and what role/hero i should be playing to get back into it

>sky temple
>be falstad
>in hero league with a bossy sonya
>just repelled the enemy deathball at the mid temple
>enemy disappears, top temple empty
>"fly top?"
>fine I'll listen to him for once
>suddenly looking at a 45 second respawn timer

I should just mute all sonyas as soon as the game starts

Why are we so dead? We were so active during the Alex patch

>just wondering on who is good now and what role/hero i should be playing to get back into it

Tier lists can give you some idea of who is "good". If you want to get back into the game with relatively low burden of knowledge, play supports, in particular morales and malfurion.

It's late night / pre-morning hours in americas during holidays. It's pretty evident as to why posting is slow.

>new ranked matchmaking?

They tossed it because shitters were unable to abuse it properly. They also didn't have good data for it either.

Start with support, nobody wants to play it. Or if you want to control the game, go Warrior. ETC, Muradin, Jo, Garrosh are all good. While Lucio, Rehgar, Alex, and Stukov are good healers.

>Every new Garrosh players says he is more op now
>Misses his q while struggling to flip anyone
>Stitches and Artantis make him look like shit

so what is new about the matchmaking? i want to do some like quick matches but eventually do ranked? is ranked fucked?

>flying somewhere you know full well could be unsafe

>qm

i won 5 in a row then got literal feeders for the last 5 so i got dumped into gold

>play tassadar in QM
>our varian goes smash, leaving us with no tank
>shield him non-stop so he can continue doing damage and our forts when they were being sieged
>"we needed tass to shield someone other than himself"

Holy shit malf is a beast
I remember him being shit as fuck so i never played him for over a year and now i got an xmass skin for him so i tried him and i was a walking rape machine
I was able to fucking solo enemy hanzo who was at full health and hanzo is an assassin, dayum

Nothing, though they did end up breaking placements/mmr this season. Right now, if you win the first 2 placements, you'll be put a league or two ahead of your original.

They had Player Based MMR, which compared your stats to other players. Wins were easily 220+ if you did well, while losses could be -180 or less. Since they scrapped it, it's just about winning/losing 200 points for each, which is awful for people trying to actually climb.

Hanzo is never that great when forced to duel. Still Malf punishes the enemy more if they are out of place.

who are the hardest heroes to master and which have the biggest impact on games?

Why is Alex such a weak hero?

>Looking at someones games
>They managed to lose against no tank
>Murky/Sonya

Is there any hope in Diamond league ?

She's not desu. You're just getting shitters.

can skins like dark queen alexstraza drop?
will they ever be buyable with doritos?

>start losing game because malf is retarded and they have an alex
>our sylvanas starts complaining about malf
>he pulls the "it's just a game man whatever I only picked that ult because I wanted to have fun chill man"
>before I noticed the malf plays, I thought we might be losing because the sylvanas was midlane at the beginning of the game for some fucking reason
>the sylvanas actually seems to know what they're doing though
>we lose
>sylvanas says "this is stupid that we lost alex is such a bad healer too"

Whatever, these idiots deserve to lose.

Yes user, shes so weak. That's why they nerfed her.

They did not nerf her because she was too good, they nerfed her just to force people to use the other ultimate

they had a dva, that's pretty much a guaranteed loss

>the sylvanas was midlane at the beginning of the game for some fucking reason
whats wrong with that?

without measures, paki will spam it up

>become invulnerable for several seconds, and deal an obscene amount of healing and respectable amount of damage in 5 instances, and then teleport to safety from even the most over-extended of positions
or
>rehgar's ult, but way worse
How did blizzard even fuck up that bad?

Not to mention it's basically "bye-bye" but on a longer cooldown and with some fun things tacked on the end

how's bronze?

The other ultimate is literally Dehaka adaptation so long as you have a healthy target. It's a good ult, but cleansing flame is a get out of jail free card that can heal/hurt multiple heroes and snipe runners. This is on top of her basically having two ults, the ability to constantly heal 10% of her health and apply 60% slows at range for no mana cost.

I once had an alex on my team who got nearly double the enemy healers heals but they were like "man she really needs a buff". We ended the game at level 18 and he took all W build, and just forgot to take his level 13 and 16 talents. Anyone who thinks alex is bad is confirmed brainlet.

WORTH NOTING: She's not broken tho. She's reasonably counterable.

Overall if she could choose two targets that are not herself to use life binder on that would be cool.

>go mid for the clusterfuck fight
>stand around doing nothing but trash damage
>go lane during the clusterfuck
>cheese out a tower or two if they're dumb enough to not instantly go lane at the beginning of the game.

Sylvanas doesn't have to be afk in lane all game, but the fact that someone literally always has to be there to contest you is way stronger than her teamfight. A sylvanas can easily be left alone as well if you've got shitters on the enemy team who want to get damage/kill quests so they all want to go mid.

...

That is one stupid probe.

>Nobody would lane against her

Probably not, Blizzard is small indie company, that needs every shekel.

...

>People underestimating power of Alex
>Shit healer
>When people still pick Li Li/Brightwing

dva is shit most of the time

Why does the terrible matchmaking puts an almost 0 minion clear comp vs 3 specialists?

Jesus fuck. I like Alex too, but Christ, give it a rest, you fucking sperg.

...

>tfw playing Stealth hero

I've been pushing for a female goblin champ for 3 years

How does it feel when there's a hanzo in every game and every single ability in his kit can be used to reveal you?

I don't care that my boy was nerfed

He's still the most fun hero in the game by miles, I love being a fucking tosser

He also did nothing wrong in the lore

>my teammates cant see the stealth hero approach

why is kel'thuzad in this team? kael would fit better, don't you think

>my teammates cant see two people chasing me back to keep on warhead

...

...

Come watch me fail at placements.
twitch tv/nyarl/

I can guarantee that Tracer, Nova and probably Genji will make him absolutely useless.

promo'd to plat 5, does it get harder than killing butchers who slam into cassia and die instantly?

>we interrupt your schedule of iconic blizzard characters to bring you this generic SC donut unit as a hero in hots!
seriously? I would have preferred another overwatch cancer to this

Steady on. Let's not go too far.

welcome to hell
plat is literally the worst elo
>everyone thinks theyre best
>only meta picks or throw
>only time people use chat is announcing the reports or flaming

No, I'm sorry but this was a big issue I had when I was first interested in hots during its beta. The priority seemed to lay with shitting out non-characters like sgt hammer, brightwing, LiLi instead of iconic blizzard characters (which was the whole point of the game)

So finally I get back into things and they seem to have gotten their shit together and added a significant crop of blizzard characters into the game, only to slap a middle finger with yet another donut.

Fuck right off with this nonsense blizzard. Firebats were probably the worst terran unit in SC1 too. What the fuck.

hopefully i can just keep playing cassia, gmane and malf and carry myself up

>this whole pile of sperg
Then leave. No one's stopping you.

Do you use the "A"-Key?

Do you the "A"-Key with "Attack Move Target Point" enabled?
