first for zarya is cute.

shield me zarya!

What's the speculation for heroes after blaze again?

I hope 2018 is a year of villains. I really want Mephisto. AS AN EVIL SUPPORT

Dark Wanderer

Neat, I wonder what sort of mechanics Aidan would have.

more like gaycer lul

who the fuck is that

hot monkey dick samuro

Yes?

Diablo villains are so boring.

Duriel would be super fun! A living battering ram of bruiser-y pain. Gets faster as he gets injured!

So the Butcher?

No, butcher only likes dealing out pain. Duriel is more than happy to take it if he cant give it out.

When's hero spotlight?
When's in dev?
GIVE ME THE VIDEOS BLIZZARD

GET DUNKED

not till 2018

Man I can't be the only one that thinks Cho'gall is actually OP. I know he's been a fucking meme since forever, but god damn running into him in QM or at the end of a draft is the most frustrating shit. If a Cho'gall comes out and you have no significant %hp damage or no Anub'arak it's basically an autoloss.

he is op
it's just that you can't reliably play him in Hero League
and nobody really cares about Quick Match or Team League because there are multiple ways to cheese the shit out of both of these, one of the ways being Cho'gall

can someone explain the deal with Anub'arak's web? The timer on it seems to constantly fluctuate for some reason and I'm not exactly sure why.

>watching high gm streams

Now I understand why people don't give a fuck about this game and just play lol.

When you attack the cocoon its duration goes down. Heroes that deliver lots of instances of damage fast like Tracer or Nazeebo can pop it almost instantly.

wonder what he meant by this

uh think blackheart's chests
stuff like ming laser burn through it quickly

Stop picking Calamity you STUPID assholes

well, it was the orange bar on the bottom that seemed to constantly flicker back and forth for some reason as if it was some kind of objective channel.

I wonder if it's a bug

Orange bar is the duration bar, yes. It shouldn't be fluctuating. Got a webm of it happening that you can post?

>flicker back and forth
Oh.

Could he have taken the 20 upgrade for it?

>dragon shrine game
>team winning 20-17
>Hanzo decide he want to throw the game
>feeding as soon as he respawn and shitpost in chinese or some weeb shit
>he do this since season 2 of ranked
Just one example. Blizzard can't fix this game without massive changes to the game itself.

Would it matter? I don't see shit like durations changing in the middle of the spell. They take effect on the next one, don't they? Otherwise, it'd just be a free extra 4 second Coccoon at lv 20 and everybody would be abusing that.

sorry, didn't record and I rarely take the web talent.

maybe, I'm not sure. I generally take the rewind. It's been months since I touched the game, so lot of it is still unfamiliar to me.

Why do I keep getting a ping every hour in my Daily Quest tab when nothing updates?

Is there any way to change the sounds for things like heroes' attack/tower warning, or is everything behind a file protection?

>Every loss is a stomp
>Every win is a fucking hard earned workout

i'm sure you can

it's the best innit

>get my buds together for a team ranked match
>estimated time 50 seconds
>actual time, before I gave up 720 seconds
I thought 3's were the way to go?

>15 games of HL today
>Literally forced 50 in mid masters

IT'S UP

>Self-Destruct
literally no one is gonna take this ulti

any ocefag here that wants to do some quick matches?

Andariel is a big girl

li-ming is a balanced hero

How do I always end up top damage with Cassia but it feels like I'm playing the worst hero in the game.

Charged Strikes and Ball Lightning are stat padders and it's hard to feel like you've manhandled a team with Cassia compared to other assassins

I went Q build. I had 3 times my lane opponents damage. Still feel like I lost the lane.

The hero feels so bad to play. Especially her short attack range.

It's the "Level up X Servant for a loot box" thing changing the heroes to display. Usually happens when you look at your profile.

Cassia is a worse Greymane in virtually every regard, and isn't all that good without a proper support to babysit her

>Cassia is a worse Greymane in virtually every regard
I don't remember Cassia having % damage like GM.

Saturday morning bets.

I hate being first pick, never know what to pick without worrying about how hard I'll be counterpicked by the enemy team..

stop playing unranked
red should demolish blue if ana knows what she's doing

>Cho's nickname

>stop playing unranked
But I want my gold.

>red should demolish blue if ana knows what she's doing
Cho'gall fed 3 deaths in the first 3 minutes. It was horrible. And the Morales didn't land a single grenade while charging facefirst into the enemy team wtih the Cho'gall;every Cho'gall death was actually 3 deaths, not 2. I just sat in lane waiting for it to end wondering how much of this draft was my fault. The "damage/heal hybrid" Kharazim ended with less hero damage than the Morales.

Dehaka styled on all of us real hard, Ana was a non-factor because the enemy team never needed healing.

Turns out the guy was silenced. Big surprise.

>less damage than Morales.

I am so sorry you had to deal with that. That pain, too real.

How do I into a good Ana?

...

Go Piercing Darts at level 1
Stay close to your team until you finish Piercing Darts
When quest is finished stay as far back as possible

I imagine his passive would be something like occasionally spawning monsters or something. or corrupting minions. Really we didn't see much else from him during his dark wanderin days.

>Guy was silenced, Big surprise
Oy vey. Shut it down !

I used to do so well with Lucio which helped me climb all the way to Masters last season.
Now, I'm 0-6 with the right comps, sometimes.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
My talents are usually 3111313

I know one can't expect the best from QM, but the sheer amount of incompetence that I seen today is terrifying.

can someone versed in jewish explain the significance of those symbols?

>1151 games as slug
I consider myself to be fairly autistic but this goes beyond my comprehension

dude thats smalltime
I present you autism in its purest form

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreidel

derp

that guy could have learned 3 languages or cured cancer in the time he spent symbioting stuff

>could have learned 3 languages
>silenced

stop picking meme quest at lvl 7, it's the most overrated talent on Lucio, even more now since games are super early.

>1,859 games as Abathur vs. AI
>1.6 KDA

This person needs help.

>Versus A.I.

My god, first Ana match. I feel terrible. I could barely hit my friendlys. People kept side stepping as soon as I'd click, so missed the shot. Pretty sure I got a few of teammates ded for being an aim shitter.

isn't this just a case of someone botting for lootboxes and gold?

>botting in HotS

This person needs help.

That's why you practically have to be at melee range when you start her out

how does it feel to be playing shitty dota hotstards?

Why am I G1 and my friend is G2 when we played all our placement games together?

I don't have any feelings left

Holy shit didn't even notice its vs AI. He either grinded it with friends or botted the living shit out of it.

I heard quick match has a factor in placements, not sure if true but I've seen the idea around.

who will win

genji
its always genji

I saved up 10000 golds!! Whats wowgs opinoon on
>hanzo
>samuro
>probius
I think i will buy one of them, they seem fun!

opinion* ...

>stitches who's a useless pile of shit
>samuro who literally does no damage
>zagara who can only push but dies to everything
>truck who gets rooted and wallraped
>and a retarded sylvanas who's going to push but just ultimately die to LK cock
There should also be meme interactions if you go the full villain team - Kael, Illidan, Arthas, KT and Rag.

Hanzo and Samuro are trash, prob is situational and hard to play. Get something better.

...

hanzo slays bosses in 10 seconds
probius is ass
samuro hits kinda hard

Hanzo is fun and good.
Samuro too.
Probius too.

...

>not man enough to say fucking asshole in a videogame to a person on the other side of the country
Hmm...

...

Medic has a point

If only he could type properly though...

why didn't you play with me hotsg

lel ming in QM is a fucking joke at this point. Every retard and their mother still thinks its 2016.

Which server?

americano

You didn't invite me.

You waste both my time and your breath. And the former has value.

I fucking LOVE playing Alarak for the banter

i hate people who can't say fuck
