When will we get the next big promo that """"saves""""" the game?

Tirion Warrior when lads?
Q - Highlord's verdict - Strike at Melee range followed by a 3sec DoT that heals Tirion
W - Lights advance - Tirion jump at the enemy target striking them with 2 AAs immediately upon impact
E - Purified grounds - an AOE that lasts 6 seconds dealing damage every second - quest/talent upgrade that turns it into blessed hammer that also heals friendlies
Ult 1 - Awake of the Ashbringer - a cone of fire that slows targets
ult 2 - Guardians of the Ancient kings - an avatar that fights alongside Tirion that repeats whatever ability Tirion uses but without additional affects

shit op
reddit meme
unfunny forced meme
le overwatch is cancer guys
no one gives a shit about your literal whos and your kit posting

kill yourselves

right after Magatha Grimtotem

honestly feels like current patch should've been hots 2.0
which was just a bunch of stupid cosmetic shit and transition to the loot crate thing

also why don't we have swaps in draft yet, didn't they promise those last blizzcon

Lmfao cranky crabby moody maudlin crybaby idiot shithead bedroom-dwelling NEET alert! Lol

>literal whos
>more OW chars plz
fuck off u autistic cunt

>literal whos
(You)

On what circumstances is it ok to play abathur?

I never hated the idea of Abathur existing, but I can't think of an instance where I would prefer him.

Maybe Volskaya

Wrong
This is a more lore friendly kit
Q - Tirion slams ashbringer into the ground dealing damage and slowing. Enemies caught on the edge of the cone are stunned
W - Tirion strikes a target with ashbringer healing him for a portion of his missing health. Doubled against heroes
E - Tirion uses his brute strength to throw an enemy at target location
Ult 1 - Tirion shouts which taunts all surrounding enemies
Ult 2 - Tirion spins ashbringer in a circle dealing damage and slowing. Give it 3 charges maybe?
Trait - As Tirion's health gets lower his armour increases

What's the consensus on Uther at higher levels since the armor nerf?

GoAK is good, but I prefer the Q talent for more heals, plus the fact that it's easier to use against microstuns like Diablo/Johanna.

Abathur like little fights all over the map and the ability to soak offlanes. He's good when the map forces or invites a lot of 2v2, 1v1, 2v1, etc fights because he's good at winning those with any hero that can get up close and put out damage (Genji, Tracer, Illidan, Artanis, Sonya, etc). On maps like Braxis or Spider queen were rotates happen too wildly and the objective is the key to winning and not having small skirmishes, he is shit.

He's also good at controlling rotations on huge huge maps like Cursed Hallow or Warhead. so your team can focus on rotating for kills and Aba can soak the offllane undisturbed.

How is Azmodan these days?

He's still fine, just not OP god tier S first pick instalock anymore. He works best when you need to protect a dive assassin or when you're going for a pick-off comp like Stitches or Garrosh for follow up. Don't pick him into high DoT heavy or poke heavy teams and don't go basic attack talent at 1.

Probably never, Blizz can't afford paying Bernard hill even more lines

That's what they said for Alarak and they got him in.

Still the lazy watching-Netflix-on-2nd-screen tier splitpusher.

Power level wise about the same: good if you can get the enemy team leaves you alone, less so if they don't.

>literal whos
>tirion a literal who
it hurts me to give this faggot a (You) but that's so fucking wrong, you're the one who needs to kill yourself.

>literal whos
>Ashbringer is a literal who
may as well say arthas is a literal who and go back to whatever shit game you're playing

don't be mean to OP
he's nice

>That's what they said for Alarak
Its not hard for Alarak since we are not too far from LoV, its been years since wrath when tirion last had meaningful voiced lines. The few lines he got in legion almost didn't sound like him

We got the original VA for Rexxar from WC3. How long ago was that?

but not for jaina/arthas/illidan

>Arthas
main protagonist/antagonist of wc3
major villain in warcraft
major villain period, recognizable even by people not familiar with warcraft
had an entire wow expansion dedicated to him
responsible for reshaping azeroth forever

>Tirion
literal who
le generic good paladin who did good things and fought against evil
did jack shit in wow
had some cameos here and there
cultural and lore impact: non existent

yeah I can see the error on my reasoning now

>did jack shit in wow
>had some cameos here and there
>cultural and lore impact: non existent
I bet you don't even play wow

>Tirion
major character in WotLK
one of the most recognizable paladins next to Uther
remade the paladin faction into DEUS VULT crusaders
dies in legion, yet still plays a roll in both the paladin and DK character stories

yeah he's not as vastly iconic as Arthas or Illidan, but he's not a literal who. If we do get a ret paladin it should be thicc space goat yrel

g2k, haven't touched him in a while, and I tend to play him more as a counter dive like Malfurion than a support dive pick. Been going to Zarya as a burst counter more.

>Y'rel
>Not Lady Liadrin

Liadrin will be prot.

is it just me or is tfb even harder to stack now

it's just you
i see azmodans finish the quest like every other time i see them pick it pre-20

Huh, that was an odd game.

Might be fun.

>another elf

why the fuck do people play Ana? what a stupid hero. skill shot heals is absolutely retarded.

add senjinn#1478 to get carried in quick memes

>play ana in qm
>get put with nazeebo
>sleep someone
>he walls them
>they get shit on
If she could heal herself she'd be a great support.

Found that one guy who's now mad.

>any stun
>any root
>literally any disable
>do the same thing
Ana is a worthless cunt.

Can anyone else give a 100% heal reduction?

>Ana is a worthless cunt.
So the opposite of your mum? LOL

>be silver
>play hero league
>sonya and dva picked on my team
>hover lili
>guy asks me if I want him to support instead
>somebody else says "let the silver support"
>alarm bells ring
>the guy asking to support is diamond
>team captain is master
>I end up going malf
>I outheal their lucio
>we lose
>I say sorry
>never felt more helpless/useless
support rework when?

Really? lol. Not only did you fuck up that insult by saying she was the opposite of a worthless cunt (she is a very nice woman, yes), but it's a "your mom" insult... Jesus christ.

Your mom was the nicest class bicycle there ever was!

>Blaze at 44%

Well, it's going up for sure.

Well, that was a stressful game.

>replay interface borked
New Li Li feels pretty okay.

>someone on blue team playing objective
keked

>it's a forced 50 gives you a kharazim who goes full dps but you carry anyway episode

>Stitches took Gorge and upgrade
>blinked around and ate our whole team
>dumped us into improved Malf/Sylv ults
I should've cut to Samuro whacking the immortal as his core went down.

Icy Talons + Rune Tap Arthas is criminally underrated

is quickmeme ALL fucking premades now?

no? it would be very rare for you to be matched against a premade unless you were already in a 3+ team or paired with one.

dead general
dead game

that's because OP is a dumb faggot with his firebat meme when nobody gives a shit about that terrible hero

>t. the one guy the OP is referencing

have a deer user, you seem upset

>Just to make that one guy mad Edition
wew

Why did you you apologize to a self righteous prick?

>Just to make that one guy mad Edition

I was in over my head
I know it wasn't my fault that matchmaking put me in there, but it still felt like I contributed nothing to our team (despite outperforming lucio, less deaths too)

>It's a butcher on your team episode

>he doesn't dive and follows up to secure kills edition

They should add a cute elf lady who attacks her enemies with her really smelly farts!

...

Lucio has the highest healing numbers in game on account of it being an Aoe passive, and you out healed him. Which tells me two things: you did your job well, and the dumbasses on your team ate up all the poke in the world for you to even be able to achieve numbers like that. Anyone who tries to call someone else out for rank or performance better be able to carry hard, and that masters guy didn't, which makes him a useless sack of shit.

CHRIS ALL FUCK ARAM

that fucking got me user
my sides are now in the koprulu sector

for real though, what the fuck is he saying?

Krishol'fak aram

wiki says:
"Krishol'fak aram!"
What it means? Who tf knows.

Is that why he didn't show up for selection in my brawl game today?

Who's the new hero after Blaze?

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

youtube.com/watch?v=SVYmPIJt2BI

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

wrong pick garrosh kun

Hopefully a Diablo hero cause it's been a while since our last one
My bet is Imperius because in the Alex + Hanzo video they had a portal to the high heavens and devs said those would hint at new heroes

Nice picture faggot

genji unironically needs REMOVED from the game.
not nerfed, not even auto-banned from ranked like some other overpowered bullshit champions like varian. no. he needs REMOVED. genji is the absolute DEFINITION of PURE FUCKING CANCER. hyper mobile like tracer, so he can dive for free, and just escape with no repurcussions. his ults are stupid as fuck, he can move while attacking, just because :^), he does retarded amounts of damage. but the worst part of it all, the absolute cherry on top of the aids pie that is the character genji is the fucking deflect. the "nuh uh, i didn't get hit, no i just parried that 1700 damage pyroblast, oh also it has a 4 second CD because i speced into because i speced into it :^)."

inb4 someone tells this guy to "git gud" or calls him bronze or something despite the fact that genji is even more OP at higher levels of play, and is easily the best assassin in the game, only slightly eclipsed by valla/greymane because hurr waveclear.

also that feel when you get a 10+
death 0 kill genji on your team blaming the specialist for him dying. Like, how do you even die as genji? how is it even possible.

The only reason genji doesn't have a 80% wr is because of shitters who can't play him, and the fact that he's so often banned in higher level games.

>main supports
>existance is pain in solo queue
>slowly but surely switch to playing assassins
>the warriors are absolute dogshit, either hyper aggressive retards that blow their escape to initiate on a full HP tank or pussies that are never in the front line
>play warriors sometimes
>support is off solo laning because the specialist is busy being dead after overextending and our waveclear is shit
this game is suffering
I need to play an assassin with infinite wave clear and utility
>try junkrat and nazeebo
>hey this is pretty fun
>MVP almost every game
>lose almost every game
what should I do, anons
