why are the mecha guys fighting mecha abathur
I though the real threat was kaijo diablo

In that multiverse lore, Mecha Tassadar self-destructed to eliminate all the Kaiju

Queen of WoW, Heroes, and Hearthstone.

How can one character be so perfect?

Wait till you get a load in me

I think the Kaijo war predates this event.

Tassadar mech is referred to as the "legendary" implying he has some sort of popularity/notoriety. I believe the Dehaka and Anub mechas are from this period as well. I think they are the mechas that fought the Kaiju invasion.
While this time, it's the alien xenotech invasion. I could be wrong.

It would be nice to get some more Kaiju skins. Butcher mecha or Butcher kaiju would be cool

>Queen of [...] Heroes
Ahem.

when did "For New Players" supercede, "What's New?"

wtf, nooblet OPs n shit

>Kaijulisk

neat

Your pic clearly not related

OP isn't for you, it's for lurkers who don't nessicarily play as an eye catch. New player shit at the top helps cut down "wat make dis game different from doter" shitposts and is helpful in general.

Fuck off.

where's the genji mecha skin?

Kaiju skins:
>Butcher
>Brightwing
>Dehaka
>Zagara
>Blaze
>Ragnaros
>Xul

Mecha skins:
>Butcher
>Uther
>Xul
>Zarya
>Zul'Jin
>Tychus
>Kerrigan

give or take

His base skin?

>cyborgs=mechas
r*ddit

am I imagining things or does Illidan have the "smoothest" animations of all heroes? not sure how to explain it, but when he Q/Ws it feels instantaneous instead of basically all other abilities, minus Uther's divine storm

just imagination or is it coded that way so that cast time for illidan is 0s and 0.xs for other heroes?

Kaiju D.Va with pilot being some weird ass creep and I'd finally play her.

His skins have nothing to do with the Mecha timeline.

Yeah but the thing is, a mecha genji wouldn't look any different, except a bit bulkier.

all heroes have different micro stats, including run speed, attack range, frames on abilities, etc.

Some heroes have slight delays even if the skill doesn't mention it.
Illidan has nil, but so has Varian for Charge/Parry, Zeratul for any of his abilities etc.
Biggest part is that both his abilities are instant AND move him, so you think they're smoother than others because of the displacement aspect.

Sell me on this Tyrael rework without mentioning Holy Ground or Horadric Reforging

I tried the AA build and it def feels better, but I'm not sure if it packs enough oomph

>Mecha Zul'jin
'Ey mon, where I put my doritos, eh?

>Axes are now plasma axes
>The noise that plays when you turn on Taz'dingo is the BWOOOOM from movie trailers
>E now plays some sicknasty synthwave
>Trait activation plays an electric sound

It's old Tyrael but a little better

You mean ship horns?
Sign me the fuck up, loved them ever since the Pacific Rim trailer.

Friendly reminder

>can't pick trait talents
No more teleporting into 4 people catching them by surprise.
No more saving your allies by giving them shields and a movement speed boost.
No more tilting your teammates because you're living the trait value dream.

It's shit mate. You played him for memes or for Sanct/Divebuddying.
The latter is virtually unchanged, the earlier got fucked.

Fuck that mecha storm video kicked ass.

>No more saving your allies by giving them shields and a movement speed boost.
He dies this better while alive now though

He dies worse now since his shield got reasonably good talents.
But he DID do shielding and speeding people while dead better than after his rework, which can't at all.

Man, imagine have Blizzard's supply of infinite money to commission studios to make you mecha anime whenever you want

>removing tyrael's innate spell armor
why
I thought he was supposed to be good against mages

He gained 20% hp to make up for it, and now has better armor talents in his free and better shielding which makes him better against everything and not just spells.

>tfw no japanese language support in heroes of the storm after this update

Imagine Valve's supply of money. Imagine what they could commission.

>ever taking on-death talents

Peppa pig?

do slants even play this type of game?

Tyrael wasn't good against mages, he was good for diving. Spell armor helps with dive because most damage sources you will take after diving will be spells. Now he has more HP and a talent for 25% ARMOR (all damage) on teleporting in and out, which is much better for soaking up damage of all sorts.

>do koreans play mobas

i think the japs play this game yeah
i remember there being a tournament sometime last year

my b, I forget there are slightly different breeds

Oh damn, didn't pay attention to the talents
So is he a viable solo tank now?

Butcher Skin called "Killing Machine Butcher"
It writes itself.

He always was in dive comps. His talents suggest he has more options for anti-dive now which will open him up to being used more.

>tfw no face

>Mecha Abathur is awesome
>Players using it are not
Why though? Abathur isn't hard; sit in a lane, put mines down, give a friend a hat, and use your ult correctly.

>0 replies on /v/ still thread
Feels bad

His Shield is also too good now. Literally Artanis trait on all team + minions.

more dota hats and snack bars for gaben

Yeah and fucking Swift Retribution giving everyone mount speed is bananas

He only got +7% HP you fucking lying imbecile.

Always did that, just
35% MS for 3s
instead of
45% for 2s + 25% attack speed for 2s

Good shit, opens him up to a more supporty build. Wish his regeneration talent at 1 was worth something, but it's essentially 0.5% HP per hit per 5 seconds (0.1% per second, or 1% per second at max ramp up), which is PISS fucking poor. Give it 0.4 mana regen as well so it's at least worth something (worse than shield options for teamfights, but more sustainy overall)
AA build remains a meme, though slightly better so.
Trait build is still a joke.

valve doesn't even make their own cosmetics, idiots volunteer in the hopes theirs gets chosen so they get 1% of the sales

Shark Dehaka when? Medieval Catapult Sgt. Hammer when? Gorilla Diablo when? Terran, Zerg, and Protoss Lost Vikings when? Jojo reference Gazlowe when? Anduin (Lothar or Varian's son) Varian skin when? Gravekeeper and Raven Lord heroes when?

>play valeera against AI since she's on rotation
>pop out of stealth into a 2.5 second silence with a 20% slow, then spin then execute, dash if they manage to run
>squishies deleted, tough heroes forced to tap/back
what an absolute cunt
my hatred of her from playing against her is justified

>vs AI
found the redditard :^)

That talent that makes Tyrael's W give 100% of his shield to everyone is fucking crazy, especially on squishies; literally thousands of bonus HP every teamfight

Yeah, I can see him legit getting picked a lot now against dive.

Try playing against an AI Hanzo. Fucker ALWAYS lands skillshots. I don't care how good you think you may be, but AI Hanzo is a god damned aimbot. Perfect geometry calculations too for that spreadshot. Valeera is cancer as AI, but Hanzo takes the cake on bullshit.

>E talent decreases W talent per target hit
>Increase E damage per target W'd
Gonna be dope

>implying I'm going to play quickmeme

>no holy ground
Haha, I, too, like to not peel, especially for my squishies, against enemy hero dives :)

Nothing competes with Holy Ground

Honestly I was kind of hoping it would be made a baseline quest, because it's fucking mandatory and you would never pick any other talents on whatever tier it's on.

Your opinion is irrelevant either way, play HL/UR/TL or shut the fuck up.

You might take Cast Away (increases Smite CD by 2 seconds) though

yeah, because I'm gonna grind valeera up in draft
retard

>play versus LITERAL HURR DURR BOTS
>wow this hero I have is soooo broken man
Nope. I can handle leveling heroes up in QM or AI, but I can't take people thinking their dumb fucking ass observations carry over to real modes in any way.
You're a fucking moron, plain and simple.

>Choose UR Draft
>50 minutes later still in queue
Nice gamemode HoTSbabs

ANZ not welcome

>literally can't read
she's a massive cunt
doesn't mean she's OP retard

Move away from that darn god forsaken Island mate. Go to a real country.

Canada is not an island.

AI opinion, doesn't matter. Literally just stop and try playing her in a draft mode above gold and you'll see why you're fucking stupid.

you're picking an argument for no reason
on an anonymous video game image board
please re-evaluate your life

How would you rework Tyrael's trait? Or would you give him a completely new one?

That trailer was fucking dope

He's just desperately trying to not have Valeera nerfed. He can't live without her. The poor man.

Just roll the two talents he used to have into it. A major shield and the ability to have it go off where you want it to would make it reasonably useful

>for no reason
For being right. You're insisting on continuing so you can get the last word in despite being wrong, that's just as sad.
>haha I don't even care
Why reply then? You're anonymous, you don't even need to admit you're wrong, just walk away and no one will give a fuck roughly 0 seconds later.

>He's just desperately trying to not have Valeera nerfed
but she was already nerfed

just give him the old level 1 trait talents

as if they'd nerf her again lmao

>implying Valeera needs nerfs while she's in the gutter
I'm laughing at people thinking she's good, I wouldn't touch that heap of shit with a ten-feet pole outside of QM mate.

omg auriel why you dont run in 1v4 and die like me

stupid noob

omg auriel i have 8 deaths and you have 4 you noob

stupid puta noob

I thought you were strayan. Sorry for you user, It's worse than I thought.

>dude its just ur opinion :^)))))
>but I'm right
holy fuck did high school just let out?

>lmao ur such a nerd why are you such a nerd haha
>stop being an idiot and I'll stop telling you to stop being an idiot
>haha you such a kiddy get ur mum lul haha
Last time I'm gonna say it, your opinion is shit and wrong. It being an opinion doesn't change that, you can have it all you want but it's objectively wrong.

I dont think Tyrael's trait is that bad. Makes focusing him hurt, which is what you want out of a diving bruiser no?

As long as you arent dying completely alone in a position where the enemy can avoid it easily, and as Tyrael honestly you'd have to try to do that he's so tanky with such a good escape

Look at him go. He really wants people to believe it.

But it already hurts focusing him, because you're not focusing that other guy that actually DOES deal damage who dove alongside him.
Which is why no one does anything to him, because it's just lolTyrael, no damage mate. Just ignore him and kill his buddy.
His trait generates zero value outside of some freak accidents in teamfights.

They should make even in death baseline and make the damage from his trait unmitigable potentially even go through immunities/stasis.

>Go right click build tyrael
>Suddenly be a threat that needs focusing

WHAT NOW MORTALS

does the bonus damage from shattering throw hurt HP if there isn't enough shield left or is it just me?

>worse slows, worse MS, worse attack speed, worse shields
>do nothing for your buddy who dives with you
>me right clicky though
Just pick Sonya then, more damage, just as divey and actually does stuff in the solo lane.

Stop arguing like autists about Valeera. Argue about something that matters.

Like how KT is for Kel'Thuzad.
