Heroes of the Storm General - /hotsg/

Hero reveal tomorrow at HGC opening ceremony

Be there or be square

>finally reach Master promos
>get Genjigodx on my team
Bless.

So, is Li Ming good or bad?

I only see fan arts and shitposts with her, but no gameplay commentary

Yes

she's cute and easy to play glass canon. she dies easy

And that is only slutty woman

Something something breeding hips

>First game as Nazeebo
>Walk up to enemy team
>AIIIIYAAAAAAA HOOBAGASHA
>Win the game
People lose as this fag?

Waow niceu ! Is Diamond still aids right now, or has everything settled down ?

She's a high skill cap hero. Good Ming players rape face, bad ones are dead weight.

It's about the same as before the update now. If you dig into profiles every game you'll find misplaced people or placement babies but that was always the case.

His spiders and frogs literally OP. Destroys tanks in melee range.

Fuck this island nigger

>Win game with Sam before stealth change
>Win game with Sam but have to wait for later in the game to be in any use

The only nice thing is being able to switch with your clone, but you are pretty much forced to get the teleport talent to fight anyone.

I've never really been a cancer of the month player, but boy am I having a ball with Hanzo

My problem with him is you either get a god like Hanzo who takes everyone out easily or you get a Hanzo who does less damage then the support. Sadly there is no middle ground for him so I ban him to avoid it.

I once got A hanzo that was absolute dogshit, and he then went on to say that Hanzo sucked.

Is there some kind of aim assist on the scatter arrow? I've seen it 'thread the needle' to secure kills a few too many times for it to be coincidence

He sucks in the wrong hands since he is skill reliant as fuck. Hell even in overwatch you get a sniper who can be a complete monster or a waste of space. So its really hard to nerf him or buff him without fucking either side over. Which is why I wish they never added him.

Depends on you.

Eh, we're closer to how it was towards the end of last season. Plenty of misplaced bungas but that was always the case and they never impeded ones ability to climb. Just have to play more.

Set it to "Off" or "On Release".

No I mean when I'm playing it seems like the scatter arrows bounce a little too conveniently

>you can actually get banned for feeding
WOAH

good

Yep.

I am glad because I am tired of people feeding and thinking they can get away with it. I know in League the only way you could ban them is if you say something mean because only feelings matter.

I mean I was running into towers and tabbing out, couldn't be more obvious I was feeding. Next time I'll just run into team fights and mash my keyboard before I die. Then they can't ban me because I'm just playing the game :^)

I know one thing about Hanzo, and that's that his Armour reduction talent is going to get nerfed.

>Have day one blizzard account.
>Have numerous purchases

Blizzard will never ban an account that spends money. Enjoy your ban

Did he by chance Ryugawaga on to a minion wave? I've had one do that last night.

That was a while ago and just because I fed, like, 20 Team League games in a row.

What compels someone to do this?

Gambler's fallacy

Boredom, curiosity, rare icon, novelty, see if they punish for feeding, whatever.

What is the point of earning anything if you get banned?

No, nothing like that.

Bronze account didn't get banned, actually, and it's not like I'd lose the rewards.

not him, but perhaps a sense of morbid curiosity

...

That actually is a cool icon. I'm kind of jealous

Is it worth being into dota these days? I was into it for like 4 years but dropped it in like December 2015.

I've played a bit of the new heroes and shit like Kunkka's Ghost Ship fleet at level 25 are so fucking fun when you get them off, but I cant help but feel like the game itself is a bit of a relic.

The pro scene isnt that relevant anymore, everything feels like its on a bit of a downward hill. Valves already lining themselves up to move on to artifact.
Dunno mang at least Hots feels like its going somewhere to a degree.

Also fuck hour long games Hots is much more forgiving to play as a non-neet non-teenager

>a gorillion nelf niggers in game
>a gorillion and a half orc niggers
>3 fucking dragons
>2 and a half fucking ogres
>2 fucking chink pandas
>1 belf
>1 troll
>1 worgen

>1 goblin
>0 gnomes
>0 Draeneï
Explain this.

>gorillion nelf
You mean Tyrande, Malfurion and Illidan?

>want to play Dehaka
>every single game has 3+ ranged attackers with spammable snares or stuns or displaces
>completely sucks any and all potential for ever having fun out of the game

When does this game start being enjoyable?

Literally the only relevant nelves other than Maiev. If she gets in she'll likely be the very last as well. Hardly a gorillion

Technically we have a gnome because Chromie. Even if its not a true gnome

And theres 2 belves. Valeera and Kael
Do they have dialogue together?

I hope it's not a dreadlord, just to see you bitch in this thread for the next 3 weeks

That depends on you.

Tyrande, Malfurion, Illidan, Sylvanas, Alex kind of. Nelfs are the niggers of elfes, there are too many. Azshara when? Maraad when? Crowley when?

Daenerys of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Queen of Meereen, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Protector of the Realm, Lady Regnant of the Seven Kingdoms, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons fucking

>sylvanas
>nelf
she was a high elf until she became undead

Oh yeah forgot about Valeera. I think they do. KT says some faggy Oscar Wilde-y shit to her, will check and report back.

So am I retarded or did that literally not accomplish anything?

Nigga you gay.
She's the gayest character of a highly gay universe. Only Bron, or whatever that mercenary's name is, is chad.

Every game is pure suffering though. Regardless of what heroes I play. I guarantee if I were to try to play Cho'gall I'd get put against a team of Tychus Leoric Malthael Alex Lucio while having 3 specialists for teammates. It's that bad. It actually makes me sad because I really want to actually enjoy this game but the game itself seems hell bent on preventing me from doing that.

No. Dota is dying harder than any other game to pubg of all things.

Just play what you like though. Playing what's popular is what kills games to begin with.

dehaka used his essence I guesss? it's just showing how dehaka sucks vs malth.

Memes aside specialist Onyxia summoning dozens of little dragons would be kino. Leeroy Jenkins should ne released with her.

Perhaps we will get Leeroy Jenkins for the wow classic release. You know they'll do a hots tie-in

>put against
play unranked draft, at least then if you get a shitty comp you can blame it on others and not QM "matchmaking"

>letting him smack my mercenaries
I was gonna post the one I had of Lunara kiting a Dehaka for days but couldn't find it.

Draft and/or Heroes without direct counters. It's not fun to play from behind but some Heroes are better at it.

I think there's a better chance we get him april 1st because of memes weiners and all that.
We might get a classic WoW character who isn't in game yet for the release, who's missing ? Mekkatorque maybe ?

Adding on that, Alarak is always a safe pick, you can never go wrong with him.

In that case.. I think it would have to be something iconic from wow vanilla. Maybe Hogger, or Kazzak, or Onyxia.

I startedin TBC ... whats a kazzak?

Fuck dude i hope they make Maraad a front liner. Maybe give him a point blank aoe heal. Nothing huge but just something to keep him and and other front liner standing beside him healthy

world raid boss you could kite to sw for funsies. in bc they replaced him with "doom lord kazzak" and put him in bc. forgive the music, it was a different time 11 years ago.

youtube.com/watch?v=Jl0VWJdE01M

Big nigga with a sword that'd occasionally pop up in The Blasted Lands and could be kited all the way to Stormwind. I think he made another appearance in Hellfire Peninsula at the Throne of Kil'Jaden then again in Tanaan Jungle.

>Alarak is always a safe pick
>Hey that's a nice game you got there
>it'd be a shame if Chromie and Li Ming were shoved into it every single time.

I'm probably just an asshole that needs to lurk more but can someone tell me what Kino means?

ayy lmao

Fuck yea I'm totally Into us getting a big dumb legion demon

it's a /tv/ meme, pertaining to the quality of film usually, generally being ironically good.

>pick thicc jaina
>finish with top player dmg
>congratulated for doing 94%~ more player damage than others of equal skill
>mrw
unranked doesnt matter but my heart doesnt care
how wonderful

>mrw
>>>/reddit/

you cant stop these feelings for jaina

That wasnt even close what the fuck Stitches get it together

Sonkino means ironically good? Cool thank you

Why does everyone shit on /Bunker/??

I think its pretty good if you use it extremely liberally and not just saving it as some kind of panic button

Bust in, throw your shit down, when everyones offline and you're still getting focused hop in the bunker to block half the enemy team off and scare them off with the flamethrower

And pop out early, dont sit there waiting for it to die. Its like fat shield that also deals damage and makes you unstoppable and blocks enemies and can also be used by allies to save themselves from shit

>overwatch roadhog flashbacks

Roadhog skin when?

it's got that "baits teammates" thing
you know where 3 people get into it, try to figure out what their Q does, the bunker dies and guitar cow mosh pits them

flamethrower isnt scary
it dies extremely quick
you lose tons of DPS if literally anyone gets inside of it

Because you think it does those things but doesn't. For your melee allies, accidentally clicking the bunker is very likely since Blake's real estate suddenly bloats up. For your ranged allies, the last thing they want to do is go into the shitshow where the bunker is.
It's not unstoppable at all, if anything it's a free root for your opponent.
Flamethrowers do shit damage. Your allies were better off getting Lucio shielded than entering a box where their damage is brought to Blaze's nonexistent level.

Even being selfish lifeline, blaze is better off aoe stunning with e or slowing with w and dying so your team can easily mop up.

Bunker is basically a bad shield, bad cleanse, bad damage, and bad for your role.

Hasnt been my experience so far, even in QM people are jumping in immediately for fun and popping off immediately

>Complains about Night Elves.
>Thinks Sylvanas is a Night Elf.
>Thinks Alexstrasza is a Night Elf.
>Wants Azshara, who was a Night Elf.
You're a special kind of retard, aren't you user?

Believe me, it's not for fun. I've accidentally clicked bunker so much during teamfights, it's kinda unreal

Oh also being inside bunker makes you not count for things like shrines or merc camps, so that's another strike against it.

why is hanzo trait so clunky
it literally just does not work sometimes even if the terrain is thin enough

Slyv isnt a me if you reeree

>they buff the range on it
>retards still want it buffed

Do you literally not move and just rightclick your opponents?

In this some new fangled cheese or

That does look pretty awkward, eh. I normally right click to move then A near/on the fellow I want to hit.

Ever since the mecha skins came out I've only played reghar/tyrael

whos ready for hgc bros.

Is it bad that I agree? At least while I’m trashed
