Heroes of the Storm General - /hotsg/

cassia is fun don't make things up on the internet

You're treating her like a frontliner, user.

She's a poke hero, Fend is her finisher or how you put an exclamation point on a particularly good Mosh Pit or Graviton from Zarya/Grav bomb from Gazlowe.

The only heroes that Fend is a legit danger to regardless of health are the ultra-soft immobile mages like KT/Kael/Jaina. Otherwise you poke with Q and then use Fend to bully them out of the lane. In teamfights as mentioned before, if ETC lands a great mosh or Gaz/Zarya land an exceptional Grav, you Blind + fend from an angle to hit the max possible targets with the Fend talents (Impale, Lunging, Penetrate) and you'll melt someone before that ends.

He does already has most of his kit made with his coop mode incarnation.

Fuck. Firebat is literally everything I wanted in a hero, but I'm not gonna have time to play this fucking game come the 9th. Fuck this gay earth and Hanzo delaying his release.

Does anyone actually play Hanzo? I've seen like a handful since release. And only one good one.

i only take the low health fend talent for finishing since self rooting is pretty shit late game

He sees play in like 80% of master games he's strong as fuck in skilled players hands, similar to Genji

That's why I said she's a poke hero with Fend being her bully tool/finisher. Lategame with talents Fend can and will take 40-60% of a mage or soft range's health before they can move out of it. If they want to trade with you while taking 500+ DPS from Fend, it won't end well for them. You can damn near 100-0 KT with it if you Blind first.

Well, a lot changed during the holidays, I guess. I still stand by that he isn't interesting, but what the fuck do I know.

She shits all over Butcher and about no one else imo.

You are better off playing other poke heros if that really is your answer.

What the fuck
Cassia is fun as fuck. Eat a dick nerd.
Oh right I remember that existed too

hanzo's replaced all the "junkrat" mains there are. now they can pretend to be useful pointing to hanzo's absurd hero damage from pokes

>It's a Sylvanas takes the solo lane episode

Fun is subjective and has nothing to do with it.

Firebat is hilarious, I haven't had this much fun in a Warrior, aside from Artanis, Sonya and Garrosh

She's a fun hero, but her animations feel off, and her model kind of sucks. She doesn't have enough health to go toe to toe with most heroes, so play her as a range hero.

>tfw cassia hasn't had a new skin since her introduction
what in tarnation

Same thing with vikings

cass feels like shit to play desu

hasn't gul'dan not gotten one

Is it just me or does Blaze's splash art look significantly different from the rest of the heroes?

>Hero has a unique ult
>Introduce several character that have it as a passive or ability
>Said hero is irrelevant as fuck

I really wish they stop doing this.

>mecha chen literally never just like sharkhaka and lifeguard johanna
feels bad

I would play the shit out of johanna again if they gave her a lifeguard skin.

what exactly are you refering to

I would play her more if they gave her a better haircut.

loli jo skin when?

This
The haircut and her weird 12 year old boy chest makes her awkward to play

Any D.va tips?
Only getting her to 5 while she's free, but she seems fun. I feel clueless though.

I wouldn't mind something like Zarya's Thunder Guard hairstyle.

>play zuljin
>against LiLi
Can I please quit getting the useless ass kharazims now?

She's overrated shit.

>mfw playing lili gave me two of the three wins necessary for gm today

This is your irregular reminder that Li Li has a spot in the current meta. If you want cheap cleanse, good sustain healing, decent survivability (for a support) and some blind utility, she's your gal.

We need hybrid destroyer skin for Tassadar and a hybrid reaver hero

I need a pic of Xeno Abby.

>hybrid reaver
holy shit becareful user, jesus

moshi moshi

>loli

(You)

Not those reavers.

Implying two shotting tracer is a bad thing

oh shit sorry, I genuinely did not read hybrid.

A protoss reaver hero should not exist. They could be the siege minion on a protoss-themed SC map though.

>launching battle.net games in 2018

DAILY REMINDER THAT 27.07.2017 WILL BE FOREVER REMEMBERED AS A DARK DAY IN ORCISH HISTORY.

Blizzard really fucked up with Garrosh's representation in Heroes of the Storm. His abilities and role do not fit his character fantasy in any way. His kit should have been for another character.

Yes, he is fun to play. But he should have been a bruiser, like Artanis, but with burst and less focus on defense and with an ability to force 1v1.

>what Blizzard devs did
Hey guys we plan to release Garrosh somewhere in summer 2017
Fast forward summer 2017
Alright guys just attach some existing kit to Garrosh and release him. And dont forget to make a legendary skin + bike with a bunch of tints

When's Lunar event hit, I want that Li Ming skin.

February?

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

>overrated
But everyone knows she's crap you assclown.

>implying she won't put it in your womb instead
better get that ass lubed up son

Game is dead? Can I play it?

exactly.
she's worse than the opinions of her

Imo, her talent diversity is pretty nice. Most are viable. Crash course is one of the worst talents in the game. I tend to pick between 3 or 4 builds:
-DM build (lots of melee heroes edition)
-DM build (lots of mages edition)
-Aggro DM/Pilot build (almost never)
Pro Moves is my favorite level 1 talent at the moment, but sometimes I'll take hit the nitrous. If you take Big Shot, take Torpedo Dash. If you take Bunny Hop, take GGEZ most of the time. The difference between melee DM and mage/ranged DM build is that I'll take Diverting Power for ranged and and Get Through This for melee. if you take Get Through This, you don't need Aggression Matrix. Pro Moves and Diverting Power meld well together. I probably wouldn't take Diverting Power without Pro Moves.

can someone link me that one picture of sonya and nova

>queue for brawl
>its litteraly me vs another dude and 8 ai's

didja win?

you can get matches with ais in brawl? I dont believe it

>Kerrigan dies and split pushes all game
>Team finally asks him why after he refuses to show up to 2 objecetives in a row that we narrowly lose
>"I like an equal team"
Where do these people come from?

>Diablo, Stitches, Odin Tychus and dragon form Alex can all enter and fit in a bunker
>Lunara, Probius, Murky and Zagara enter a bunker. They now gain the ability to spit literal fire
Greatest lore respecting ult ever?

yes

What if Murky had regen master?

>Bring forth da meat wagons!

Call in Bunker is the most kino and comfy ultimate in the game.
Debate me.

Literally best Announcer besides Abathur

No and yes
We are a little slower than normal due to a bad patch but it will be sorted out in the coming days

He already does

No hear me out
What if he had regen master on top of his high regen

>get mexicans on my team
>lose
can they stay in their region? thanks

>Unlike many firebats, Lewis isn't a resocialized criminal, and doesn't smoke. He has had training for covert missions.
Wait
People get in these suits without being resoc'd? jesus christ

Literally every stealth hero in the game should be removed
Stealth isn't fun to play against, especially when you know that stupid little cunt is there but you have to waste a cooldown to reveal them only for LMAO UNREVEALABLE XDXDXDXD to immediately pop

I mean is just like our army a bunch of psychos and sociopaths join every now and then.

Only if you're silenced. Which has gotta be grand.
>hey fuckwit you can't keep from calling everyone niggers every time you get within arms reach of a keyboard so we're gonna pair you up with bots and pit you against a single other dude that can't hear you

>We don't give a shit about the lore, rofl
-Blizzard

In sc2 Jimmy only recruits firebats for the war effort and because he's desperate for any leverage against the Dominion, he would never be best buds with some pyromaniac retard

What if Blaze's bunker benefited from the armor it grants?

>isn't fun to play against
Not an argument.

Remove stuns, that's not fun (to me) to play against.
Remove slow, that's not fun (to me) to play against.
Remove ice block, that's not fun (to me) to play against.
Remove protected, that's not fun (to me) to play against.
Remove mobility, that's not fun (to me) to play against.

etc.

>Less HP than Tracer

>Neural resocialization is a rigorous process, devised by the Terran Confederacy, used to treat criminals suffering from mental disorders or at least prevent them from committing crimes and turning them into loyal soldiers.[1] Some Dominion military personnel have even volunteered for the process (in an effort to avoid mental problems).[2] Those who undergo the process often have a blissful look.[3]

>Terrans sometimes refer to neural resocialization simply as "resoc"[4] or "brain panning"[5] (the latter term also refers to any form of insanity, brain damage, drug use or even simple stupidity).[6]

>Neural resocialization bears many similarities to the technology used to control ghosts[7] and has also been used to control spectres.[8]

>Resocialized individuals' minds are "fuzzy" when sensed by a telepath.[4]
Huh. Well then

Just went 8-2 in placements. I got into Platinum 5. Am I a shitter? Felt like I was playing against bronzes. Is the new ranking system balanced?

Placements are very liberal and can wildly fluctuate depending on your qm/unranked seeding, come back when you've played ~50 ranked games as that should be closer to what your real rank is

I don't see tracer shooting barbecue beams from a cozy pillbox, BITCH.

>Get the same feeding, shit talking jackass who refuses to group 2 games in a row
You'd think it'd avoid putting you in lobbies with someone you'd literally just reported for nonparticipation, but evidently not.

so it's totally fair to have a hero that you know exactly where they are but can't do jack shit to stop them from teleporting to you and stunning you?
stuns are skillshots, except uther's and that's melee range so you know to keep back from him
slows are usually skillshots
ice block doesn't kill you with no way to stop it
protected doesn't kill you with no way to stop it
mobility like overshit heroes has ruined the game, I can't believe you're defending it

you can place anywhere from bronze 5 to master 1000 based on how you were doing in quick match before heading into placements

high plat to low master is a bit of a mess with all the silvers tanking back down

attempt to whisper
it'll give you his profile status
wait for him to log out of get into another game

His poke lines give a little insight. He's literally a pyromaniac; not that much of a shock

Have fun

You don't think such a system would be abusable?
>don't like this guy, report him and he won't show up in my next game
As if we need another layer of filter when this dead game takes 10 minutes to find a ranked matchup. Also start muting people, problem solved.

Stop picking butcher

stop it

blank is a butcher otp and he's top 20 GM

m-meat?

>charges towards you

I disagree, this is fake news

Is Kerrigan ever viable? I've played TL and seen combos with Uthers Divine Shield. Is ultralisk good? Or Maelstrom autopick?

I see Grubby and Psalm winning with kerrigan all the time so yeah she is viable.
