Xth for wish there was more solo lane matchup information out there.

Those new mecha skins look clean af

Malthael and Sonya both lose lane to most ranged heroes with basic attacks.

Not many guides because solo laning is like 3 minutes of a match and that's it

Are you ready for Double Warrior Double Support: The Revenge?

All the changes since the double support nerfs have been absolute cancer. They're going to revert back to that meta because even though it was stale and cancerous on it's own, it was significantly less detrimental to the game's health.

Imperius soon?

What do you even want him to do?

A lot of Malthael's damage is actually in his Q you fucking oblivious bronze faggot. Murky can't do shit against him 1v1 in a lane situation. He only "counters" him by being annoying in teamfight but that comes too late for that to be relevant and is off-topic.

Brusier who can usurp Sonya and BTFO the demons and nephalem with his massive spear dick

Sea snek when?

>what is base damage

>murky counters malth in lane bro
>just give up the first two zerg waves and dragon knights because you literally can't fight him that early in the game bro
>he counters him in lane tho bro

Murky is fun

>Play Leoric once when he's free
>holy shit he's actuallyfun
>get amazing games for him
>can smell the MMR building me up just so it can tear me down for it's own sadistic pleasure
>get 5
>every game since has had Genji and Tracer and Hanzo in it
>So I get to forever be swarmed by 3 LOL I CAN ATTACK WHILE MOVING FROM FURTHER AWAY THAN YOU CAN REACH AHAHAHAHAHAHA faggots
>teams are perpetually fucking retarded, can't fight, can't do objectives, can't soak, only thing they can do reliably is get fucked and die

This game is going to die. Its going to die and Blizzard does not care because they are the ones that set it up to die.

>game is dead
Always thought this was a bit of a meme but after the last patch the game has felt more fucked than I ever remember it being.

>QM
you did it to yourself

Here's a lore friendly and fitting kit for him:

Q: slams his spear into the ground doing damage in a cone and stunning enemies at the edge of the cone
W: stabs a single enemy with his spear healing himself for missing hp. healing doubled against heroes
E: uses his telekinesis to throw the closest enemy dealing damage in an aoe
R1: uses his intense valor to taunt all nearby enemies to attack him
R2: spins around with his spear dealing damage around him. maybe give it 3 charges
D: Imperius's valor gives him more armor as his hp gets low

bless your soul

>implying ranked below high master is any better right now

Jokes aside he is almost certainly going to be a tank lorefags will screech about.

>have an intentional feeder in my team 3 games in a row
>no one said anything to provoke him
>he just does it for no reason
>match history is full red
>tfw reporting people like him does nothing

imagine being so butthurt that when you lose a QM game (Quick Match) you go online to tell people who don't give a fuck about your bad time because you are so alone and desperate for validation because you lost a match on a video game

Play Varian then if you want to shove their shit in or just deal with it.

No, it definitely does something. I even heard they're e-mailing out notifications for when people you reported are punished now.

intentional feeding and AFK reports take time, but they definitely action people, usually after a week or two.

Agree, let's see if we can keep the bungaposting in this thread to a minimum.

You have to be a shitter the likes of which can only be spoken of in legends in order for them to have so much overwhelming evidence against you that you got suspended for being a shitter. I have literally never heard of a single person ever being punished for ANY type of report other than 'Abusive Chat'.

>throwing TL placements with a friend on Abathur
Probably not the most subtle thing I could've done and likely got 30+ unique reports within the two hour window.

>losing to an afk pushing spec
>doesn't even matter if you kill murky
>you can shit all over sylvanas all game but lose one objective and there goes your keep
why do these shits even exist

because it eventually stops working
at least in ranked modes

see
After a certain point of skill people wise up and rotate someoen capable of bullying her out of the lane up to lane against her.

Who should I buy:

Valeera
Probius

Valeera looks fun but I'm afraid of nerfs soon

please kill me

Probius is a 200 IQ hero and if you play QM you're in for a bad time
Maybe pick better options

How does Tyrael's ult sanctification work? Does it only work if you're in the aoe when it's cast or can you go in/out of the area?

>the butcher has tyrael's judgment on a basic ability
defend this

you're able to move in/out for the duration of the ability

and if u move into it you immediately become invuln?

ye

because then you have to play butcher and all that entails

Valeera will probably get hit soon although I don't see them making her bad: just toning down the silence because that's what all the splitpushers are complaining about.

Probius see , he takes a while to understand and after that you can still be countered fairly easily because he has shit for health, long setup time and a poor escape.

Tyrael is good

Is there a reason the first pick team gets the first ban?

Because the 2nd pick team gets to pick an extra hero before 2nd bans

who was the better comp

left for sure
right has no waveclear and no tank
left has zarya shield and lucio's sound barrier
left has zarya's gravity + rag/probius wombo combo

left by a long shot.

Guldan is dead weight, but the rest are fine.

>who was the better comp
honestly, it depe3nds on the map

>Guldan is dead weight vs a no dive and shit healing team

bronzie

Right.
Right has better engage, with Leo slows and Alarak combo. Lili isn't a great solo, but the synergy with Cassia isn't half bad. Left can cheese fights with Zarya ult + Probius, but at higher leagues they get crushed.

>play QM
>blowout loss after blowout loss after blowout loss
>decide to start looking these faggots up
>hotslogs consistently says I'm paired with 2-4 bronze players per it's QM MMR ranking
>mine shows as Plat
>my opponents are consistently gold+, with at least 1-2 diamond and the occasional masters.
>autistically decide to check back through my last 50 matches

>this pattern holds consistent, I at QM Plat according to HotSlogs am consistently teamed with 2-4 bronze players against opponents that are consistently Gold+ for every single blowout loss I've ever had to sit through

Go ahead, check your own match histories. Dig as far back as you want. I GUARANTEE you'll see similarities amongst every single one of your shit matches. Forced 50 is real and it's 100% intentional.

>try to play some sweet illidan
>two matches with murky in it
cancer just cancer

Alarak alone can bully him into nothing.

>QM rating

People want proof forced 50 is real. I'm telling you over the last 50 matches I've played, I've consistently had 2-4 bronze players shoved into my team against gold+ players, with predictable results. I'm telling you forced 50 can be proven and verified on your own.

hotslogs qm mmr don't mean shit btw

Provide a better resource then. I'll verify it there too. Go ahead.

for qm mmr?
there isn't one
at all

there's no way of knowing your MMR with any accuracy
any website offering that service is lying

>I'm plat in qm
hotslogs was a mistake

>he uploads to hotslogs

>Be 3200 master in QM
>get queued with a 1300 (the first ever gold QM i saw)

hotslogs is grossly inaccurate

>insults and bullshit
>nobody offering alternatives of any kind

Worse than mommyposting, desu senpai.

there's no point in finding an "alternative" since they're all bullshit retard
I'm sorry your epeen has been cut off

Again, go ahead and try to offer an alternative. instead of saying "LOL ITS RONG UR RONG AHAHAHAHAHAHA".. how about you prove it you mincing dickslurping Jimmy Saville looking faggots and then provide an alternative data source.

Yep, Tyrael was 1300.

I think you're misunderstanding; only Blizzard knows your MMR, all these external sites just guess.

>HEY GUISE THIS MASSIVE DATABASE IS JUST A BIG PIECE OF INACCURATE SHIT
>I HAVE NO IDEA WHY BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THIS ONE TIME BY A GUY IN NEW PLAYER CHAT SO IT MUST BE TRUE RITE

(You).

Guess what
QUICK MATCH DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT BECAUSE IT'S MATCHING YOU QUICKLY

>only blizzard knows your MMR
>trusting blizzard after the MMR debacle that is currently ongoing

Nigger I'd say the unwashed asshole of a dead rhino is more accurate at knowing your MMR than Blizzard right now.

>lots of data means they know blizz's mmr formula
I'm sorry, but it's terminal

can i stop getting screeching mexican children on my team? thanks

if blizzard doesn't know your mmr, then no one does

Who won hotsg? The answer may surprise you.

me for not playing this cancerous game

Wew. Red has it in the bag unless Artanis is god or if it's a two lane map

blue, aba op

Neither. I guess the answer didn't surprise you.

Bonus points: first pick Abathur and Kael'thas into Hanzo, then a last second swap from Arthas into Artanis. Guess they typed in "art"?

>that was a fucking draft game
What the fuck man

goodbye stupid fuckers!

same

>Same image as a few days ago

Link me to the archive post. HotS is bleeding players and it's not one super-secret conspiracy - blizzard, and blizzdrones are terrible.

Why did you post that? To prove that you're not samefagging?

Hey OP and whoever makes the next thread. mind adding my videos of the new mecha skins to the OP? maybe put it under the blaze spotlight?

Mecha Tyrael
youtube.com/watch?v=Rt4Axy7EICI&t=61s

Mecha Abby
youtube.com/watch?v=VY9rGEubfc4&t=41s

Mecha Reygar
youtube.com/watch?v=AKAkd1idD_o&t=35s

You implied that I was samefagging, blizzshill

This doomposting is getting out of hand

after three losses, i finally got a win with alex. i remembered to use my trait this time

I need that mecha tyrael

League isn't that bad. I hope Heroes team takes more from League kits, and some mechanics.

Have fun user !

So what is it, blizzshill? Is hotslogs dying or is HotS dying?


The blizzdrone will try to put this to "hotslogs is dying" but in reality they have no stats otherwise to prove that it is HotS is growing

>it's another all warriors are tanks episode
>it's another all specialists are solo laners episode
>it's another tyrande or tassadar can solo support episode
role system rework when
i wish i didn't suck so much, mmr hell is real

Who triggered you this morning?

The only person that cares that hots is dying is you.

I stopped uploading to Hotslogs a year ago, but I'm still playing.

Will he be here this week? I've been waiting for a good Rehgar skin for 3 fucking years...

>Lose a bunch of games get plat in ranked
>Lose a bunch of games get diamond in QM

I hardly play QM now due to always getting my direct counter when I want to have fun. Of course even I am doing well I get some fag who goes afk.

so they said the portals in the cinematic were a hint on the next heroes, I assume the portal to the emerald dream means alexstraza? then the one with the terran spaceships means blaze so that means the next hero is a protoss?

is that green shit on the right portal the emerald dream?

That is actually the High Heavens from Diablo 3 so i would assume Imperius, but at least somone from Diablo. Maybe the Belial leak.

>emerald dream means Alexstrasza
>next hero is protoss
The middle portal is Diablo's High Heavens, not protoss stuff. Besides, they wouldn't release two Starcraft heroes in a row.
Emerald Dream could mean Broll or Cenarius

>literal who angel
keep dreamin
