Lili is fun and good.

Her hair in this game is so fucking stupid.

chill the fuck out you dumb dorks
that "teaser" was fake, there's nothing in HOTS twitter

Too early newfagg.
And it would be funny if mal'ganis really is next, he would have waited like a week in that room. I already propose Tirion to take his seat. We need a cartoonish ebin badass Paladin with self purify and punishing abilities like Tyrael judgment gimmick but as an assassin. We already have too much bruisers.

Previous thread since newfag OP wants to snipe for attention :

PREVIOUS THREAD:

Damn man, you seem really upset. You should take a bubble bath or something.

Is it true Blizz is going to slow down the release of new heroes for HOTS? Someone said that to me

>thread drama back again
I remember when this happened around this time last year, and the year previous

Like pottery, it rimes

>play valla in qm
>end up on BoE
>65% of immortal damage
holy fuck she really is OP against immortals

no
each patch will be smaller but more frequent

An usurp happens every year.

not as op as hanzo

now that i think about the Mal'ganis/Belial leak, are they going to be released at the same time ? like with an event or something, cus it kinds of makes sense since the dreadlords are decievers and Belial is the lord of lies

Has mommy won a game in HGC yet?

no

Velen needs to be added, Idk why the Dreadlord is even there.

he was a hero unit in WC3 and we are approaching having every hero from WC3 in the game at this point so it's natural to add a Dreadlord

Imagine if gillyweed had any semblance of an upper lip.

then she'd have DSL
daddy like

What would happen if Dehaka collected Li Li's essence
Would he become more annoying and idiotically cheerful

tr00

his pussy will get tighter and his hymen grows back

Is it even possible to milk dragons

do reptiles produce milk?

no but you can milk humans

So Blaze deserves a buff and TLV and Raynor deserve reworks the most

right?

LFM won picks, yes?

just make spin and jump baseline

how do you rework TLV and keep them 3 heroes?

individual traits

so you mean dedicated build for particular vikings?

no, I mean they just have their actual traits be different but share the same base abilities such as

just had a 30 minute game on tomb of the spider queen where chromie had finished with 180+ stacks on her Q and would two-shot tanks

balanced and fun hero

yeah and it only took 30 minutes in a game that usually only lasts 14
wow so OP!

just avoid getting hit bro then she does no damage.

this
even artanis, illidan, and raynor stop being funny when you let them stack their infinitely stacking traits to infinity

is arthas any good? I am a newish player and looking for a decent tank that isn't completely boring diablo tier. I am finding that there are no really tanky tanks. Characters like valla or nova just melt shit. I am looking for a active tank I guess. Or warrior if they are tanky.

Arthas is a top tank still.

is this the power of diamond players?

What did Blizzard mean by this ?

G L O R I O U S

What's the thoughts on Mythril hammer for Leroic?

boy im glad i open pics between sips

good

Everybody has those games

really good. Basically my go to unless I was going pure tank busting Leoric

except the rest of the team had assists and kills
and he didn't hit a single combo
i'm honestly baffled how he made it to level 12 on him

sounds like you did not support your highlord, templar, that is bad.

fyi, tanks aren't like WoW tanks
the role of the tank is more to control space with body blocking and CC rather than eating stupid amounts of damage

space doritos are glorious things
treasure them user

How come 0 teams have neither played nor banned valla this HGC?

valla is not even that good

she was trash before the double supp meta, she is trash after.

Valla was enabled almost entirely by dual support and Auriel which Blizzard gutted completely

>someone plays alarak
>I lane and give him opportunities to gank
>I play alarak
>no one goes to soak and I either stop siege camps or go have "fun"
alarak is only as good as his team allows him to be
if everyone at the very least does their job alarak has the catalyst for a good game
else its fucking garbo because his PvE is dicks

i've lost twice in a row to a fucking faggot sgt hammer because diamonds have literally NO idea how to play this fucking game

...

Why ban a hero that the meta Overwatch heroes completely fucking humiliate? That's a wasted ban, user.

if you're so much better than your teammates, how come you're matched with them?? checkmate idiot

because blizzard placed me in plat 1 :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

i believe ur actually a gm user

Sorry you weren't handed master your majesty

So this regular human dude with a regular bow and regular arrows hits harder than a space marine with the most advanced rifle in the future or the prime evil of the burning hells

He also can jump backwards 50 feet in the air because of "natural agility" but angels can't

Explain this, lorefags

video games

nanomachines, son. he's from the future, he is augmented.

why is volskaya even allowed in competitive
that map is a fucking joke

it's a good map imo compared to towers of shit

It's one of the better maps after point 1

yeah im sorry they gave it to some golide instead

>genji and hanzo banned or picked every single HGC game so far
b-b-b-but overwatch heroes are not badly designed

they are just better designed than the rest of the roster that's all

NA casters are so fucking sleep inducing
stop talking about the mounts you fucking morons

AliciaWins is kewl tho

Do NOT insult the cute blond.

That's not Alicia.

>mana talents
LOL NA Jaina

It isn't but alicia is super cute

he's a br

Dumb question but does arthas' slow count for chilled for Jaina?

chilled targets are slowed but not all slowed targets are chilled

No.

>team bunches up for jaina ult
>jaina free wins team fight
wow such high skill on both sides

literally 8th and 7th ranked teams playing.

>Greymane and ETC banned or picked every single game for 2 years straight
b-b-b-but overwatch

to be fair they're bottom tier NA teams which is the weakest pro region by far

those guys would be goldies in KR

Made me lol

so basically you're telling me the casters are trying to be nice

caster's job is to hype up any game

was Nova picked today?
was D.va picked today?
was Valeera picked today?

fuck not to blog or anything but I really hate fuckopops

they gotta find a way to put a positive spin on things

who?

doesn't everyone?

Only a Shimada can control the bans!

just saying seeing those little shits triggers me
also isn't this the definition of insanity with these picks n bons

imagine how much better this game would be without genji and hanzo

the only way to counter frustration is with bullshit
we need a wrathwalker, diamondback, and abomination hero

whats the point of linking the previous thread

no one's gonna go back and read it lol
