Heroes of the Storm General - /hotsg/

I want to put lots of half-elf babies in Tyrande's womb

how do i play falstad effectively?

Pregnancy ruins women, why wouldn't you want your waifu's tummy to remain perfectly flat forever

just play dehaka

>Pregnancy ruins women

i do, my dehaka wr is great but i want to learn falstad as well

Anyone else an orc racist? whenever there's an orc hero in my team, I make sure to subtly throw so they don't get a win on my watch

STFU Jaina

This is an occasional reminder that Li Li is actually not unplayable right now.
With virtually every healer getting nerfed, she kinda hovered into viability under the radar. She still had cleanse which is a pretty exclusive company by now and among those, he's the best sustain healer.
I have found myself picking her against Chromies especially since she has that cleanse and blind is actually pretty good vs bronze talons. She still struggles with burst damage and the "random" healing can fuck you over, but everyone should give her another look.

>Pregnancy ruins women
Does eating a delicious meal "ruin" the meal?

just keep playing dehaka
falstad is a big meme in this meta of genjis, sonyas, hanzos and valeeras
you get fucking deleted in the blink of an eye

Shut up Jaina you filthy orc cum dumpster. You made choices now you learn to live with it. You should have taken Sun King KT's cock instead of Thrall's, now you pay the toll.

Falstad is a great [/spoiler]specialist[/spoiler].

The only cock Jaina ever got was Arthas' very human one

When does this game start being enjoyable? it seems like the only possible way to actually enjoy the game is to play vs AI so you never have to deal with other people that inevitably, invariably will shit up your gameplay experience.

What fucking MMR hell have I ended up in on my main account where these are supposedly the people the MMR thinks are 'comparable to me' meanwhile it puts me against opponents that wouldn't look out of place at BlizzCon?

no he isn't
>you doing your specialist thing, pushing a wall
>genji zips behind you from off-screen
>you die
literally, that's it
if you really want to be a "specialist" just play zag, at least she gets vision and can at least scare him off at least once

oh god I used "at least" three times I should go to sleep

at least falstad can uhhhhhhh mighty gust is good

>at least

Same as Valla, you need people to be focused on someone other than you in fights. Outside of that, lane hard and take camps.

Stutter step well. Hammer is mainly for chasing (combo'd with Lightning and AAs) or for slowing people who are chasing you: throwing it instantly for damage usually isn't ideal on less than 2-3 targets.

Be in the furthest lane away from the next objective, clean up every time before dropping by.

Flight has many uses: countering lanes pushed in by Azmo general, catching runners with gust, running away in some situations (e.g. vs a no-skillshots you can hide in a bush and take off faster than hearthing).

Take BOOMerang at 7: it outright gives you more damage than the bonus AA damage you would have gotten with the other hammer (unless you can somehow finish Seasoned Marksman in time to get actual use out of it, and even then the AOE damage is probably more useful). The lightning one is decent if you're safe enough that you can stick to targets.

Gust is generally better, unless you have no finishers on your team, in which case Hinterland is actually a decent choice.

>Playing like an absolute retard

viking pride

unless you plan to never extend further than a barrel roll away from your fort, this is what happens

>QM shitter
>take /hotsg/'s advice about playing Unranked instead of QM
>people actually picking for the map and comp and playing with the Victory screen in mind
>people are much more cooperative and nice
>not a single cyrillic letter spotted all week

I should have listened earlier, brothers. This is the mode to play.

new zerg hero when!?

Phoneposter :'(
On larger maps he has good utility for waveclear/xp + wingman camps and he can also provide good dps in tf unlike zagara or Dehaka. He has a very punishing ulti against compact teams or an even better utility one.
He isn't the best rn but he is decent and viable depending on team comp, kind of like Cassia.
And no genji can't fuck him, you should have your E always ready and talent it.
He's good for early level advantage, falls flat mid game then has another power boost late game with 16 and 20 talents.
And It's 4 am here and I can't fucking sleep either >:(

That's what you should be doing as the solo laner?

Protoss are comfy as well. Imagine when the zerg/protoss hero is released .

Throws still happen in draft modes but at least you get more informations as to why you lose instead of putting your fate in RNG's hands.

People give draft shit but it's really the only way to play and enjoy yourself even remotely.

It's about time.

Plus Falstad can easily manhandle Genji. Just don't be a pussy and bait his [protected] with Q then go W and either kill him or make him flee.

Gabriel Tosh when?

>Wanting another litteral nigger
We're full, thanks.

>not wanting more troll accents mon.

It is cannon that Arthas died a virgin, and a manlet one at that.
Jaina is for Orc BGC.

Gabriel Angelos when?
Sally when?
Draenei female when?

bambam memeing it with an female team

>Gabriel Angelos
He deep striked into a shitty game.

Actually since SC now has drop pods, I wish Raynor got the ability to drop pod some marines

New skin when?

I'd prefer another troll instead. They're more aesthetic and have better bantz. The whole spectre aesthetic is pretty common and used up. Meanwhile a Vol'jin / Zen'jin borderline faggot punky troll would be great. I'd take Mengsk or TCV over Tosh first.

I AM GABRIEL ANGELOS

CAPTAIN

OF THE BLOOD GABENS

They'd get sued by Warhammer 10/10.

>It is cannon that Arthas died a virgin
Wrong.

>He deep striked into a shitty game.
kek

no they just snuggled in bed
arthas was pure

im waiting for an infested raynor skin myself

yup
solo play = play UD or HL
you can 5man queue in QM, since you can build a nice general comp that's decent everywhere

Do you think Arthas walked her home gently?

No, since it would look bad.
He sent for some trustworthy paladin-squires to take her home

That last paragraph of a sentence feels clunkily long. Could have cut it into a few sentences, now I just keep reading it in my head like it was one of those Half-Life 2 fanfic animations.

>was

>>was
Yeah, doofus.
He killed his dad, Uther, Lordaeron, and Quel'thalas, then became the lich king

What are some canonical VIRGIN hotsfus?

And before all that, he banged Jaina.
Purity lost. All downhill from there.

Lili
I hope...

Probius
Non-Kerrigan Zerg

Malfurion is probably too busy emerald dreaming to bang that nelf puss

>braxis holdout
>demotion game

demotion to what, bronze 5?

Q build: default
W build: dueling
AA build: meme
Use global like you would with Dehaka, soaking or countering pushes until you need to jump into a fight. Falstad has less health though, so you should never use Flight to flank in fights (unless going for Gust memes). Stay back and poke with Q, throw W on a tank or diver, and use E to escape when necessary. E does go over walls, but it doesn't make you unstoppable. Don't pick Falstad against any divey heroes or he'll die before you have time to react.

This. Why does the fucking MMR expect some people to be able to perform miracles and hypercarry every single game with progressively shittier and shittier teammates against progressively stronger and stronger opponents?

Who or what the fuck thought this was a good way to reward people for skilled play?

It's because blizz is retarded and uses team average MMR.
It thinks a team of 5x 2000 MMR = 4x 2100/1x 1600 MMR

>Firebat teaser released 12 days ago and there's still no info on him
>Valeera and Nova overtuned to hell and shitting up the game again
>Everybody is complaining about games snowballing out of control
>Hanzo is still trash
>No news, hotfixes, or balance patches, all we get is the new brawl

I wish they'd save reveals and big gameplay changes until after they come back from vacation

hanzo is literally OP
you just need to not suck
he's picked almost every game in master/gm

>hanzo is bad
maybe in gold lmao

why are brs like this

>be 3 keeps ahead
>someone decides to forces a fight and throws
Lose despite the gigantic lead.

How 2 build Morales?

you select lucio instead

>bronze and reddit: the post
thanks for your valuable input

What talents?

they are speaking in spanish, totally not huehue

push with the objective. this goes for braxis, battlefield, mines, spider tomb and others.

if your team has fort AND keeps in lane, and enemy team only has keeps, and you WIN the objective you must push with your advantage or you will lose. grab a keep or you may not get another chance. if you win teamfights and just sit back and turtle defend for 30 minutes you WILL lose because eventually you will have a bad fight, death timers will be long and the enemy will eagerly grab their 'come back' vicory. don't keep rolling the dice cause you are on a winning streak, its a mathematical certainty that you will eventually roll snake eyes.

This is why I play quick meme. Something interesting happens nearly every match
