Heroes of the Storm General - /hotsg/

>tfw i still haven't got this tint from lootboxes

China event when

So, we lost. Probius had like 19k experience by going AFK on sidelanes while everyone was teamfighting vs those three.
Our Blaze was constantly feeding and insulting, and Nazeebo wasn't doing much. A shocker.
In the end, at level 20, Genji just pressed a nice good old R-R-R-R-R-E-R-R and got a quadra kill.

You want my honest opinion?
I think it's fair and all that Nazeebo has no more 'gg I got level 20 I fuck you up' but when you see Genji getting a permanent R, or Junkrat having such a strong ranged pull with his trap while gutting Garrosh's Q, I think it just goes over the line with how obvious HOTS is playing favoritism for Overwatch.
I agree that Greymane is plenty strong, but he hasn't been permanently banned or picked since his existence. In the meantime, Genji and now Hanzo are getting that.

Probius being such a heavily niche pick? Alright. I'll allow that. Hanzo and Genji being literally permanently picked or banned? I can't allow that. I wish there was a way to tell them, but unfortunately, Blizzard keeps quiet and keeps playing the favoritism for Overwatch.
Remember the KTZ hype? It died all down because they decided to create a kit so slow and so easy to dodge with Overwatch heroes that now, said hype has died down and everyone picks Overwatch heroes due to how mobile they are.

Valeera got nerfed to the gutter and she was the anti-Overwatch hero. You may say, 'but just CC him dude' but try to focus a hero that dashes a screen of range while your team is focusing on other parts of a teamfight.

overwatch heroes are fair and balanced tho
git gud

Holy shit, Probius is FUN
[spioler]I think now im a autistic specialist main[/spoiler]

>i typed spioler
i hate myself

why does stukov have 11 kills

ctrl+s

I'm pretty sure the other team was just retarded.

>why does stukov have 11 kills
idk
>ctrl+s
ty
yes, it was

>[spioler]

Loli johanna is best loli hero. She's a tank and she tries her best!

I would love a Johanna summer skin where she has a pool noodle and a pool raft as shield

this game is shit. and rank literally means nothing. because forced 50 is a real, provable mechanic.

literally go to ANYONE's stats, go to hero league, lifetime (or any season) and look at that sweet 50% winrate plus or minus around 4%

I've never looked at anyone who it hasn't been true for. other than that cancer, ranked is just fucking aids. there are at least 6-10 champions i can think of right off the top of my head that need permanently banned from every single ranked game before you even start considering maps. there is NO way you can get rid of all the cancer. you are 100% GUARANTEED that one of these fucking tumors is GOING to be in your fucking game, EVERY GAME:
diablo
sonya
genji
hanzo
nazeebo
tracer
varian

the worst of course being genji. Genji needs removed from the fucking game. im so fucking serious he is the epitome of cancer, he is everything wrong with the game rolled into one little piece of shit. every single ability he has is aids.

literally the only good thing about this game is the waifus now.
>pic related

>forced 50 is real
Oh boy, this is going to be really retarded isn't it
>everyone has around 50% winrates +/- 50%
Yep, we're right on with the retarded shit.
>6-10 champions that need [to be] permanently banned
Let me guess it's going to heavily involve overwatch isn't it.
>genji hanzo tracer
Lol
>diablo sonya nazeebo
Loling intensifies
>varian
ahahahahahaha hahaha

Bronzie rants are fucking retarded. Forced 50 is not real, that is a fundamental misunderstanding of how MMR works made by people who are bad. As you win you are given harder opponents because you yourself are perceived to be a better player, as you lose you are given worse opponents because you are perceived to be a worse player. The MMR system is always trying to move you towards a place where your opponents are challenging enough that you win or lose roughly 50% of the time, this doesn't mean it's going to arbitrarily ruin matches on you (which is the key assumption of forced 50).

You will never consistently be given matches with opponents below your skill level, which is largely what people REEEEEE'ing about forced 50 want. Easy wins against people they shouldn't be playing.

>Diablo
Most people don't know how to play him, he requires a very specific level of aggression and genuinely isn't a problem. Take a giant killer
>Sonya
Has quite a few awful matchups, she loses lanes hard to zagara, rexxar and thrall.
>Genji
Does little damage by himself. Is extremely vulnerable to ranged auto-attackers, damage over time and people with consistent cc. A short list of things he struggles against is Varian Brightwing, Diablo, Uther, Raynor, Lunara and Gul'dan.
>Hanzo
Is currently only mildly overtuned. He will be adjusted. Still has nothing on release malthael (who also was relatively balanced) or Garrosh (up until groundbreaker was killed).
>Nazeebo
Is weak until all but the latest stages of the game. Win faster bronzie.

>tracer
Also not a problem. Eats shit to a great number of things. "but mobility" isn't inherently an issue.
>varian
Let me guess, you're whining about [protected] right? He still eats shit to damage over time and to displacement. He has zero escapes and despite what you bronzies think he isn't immune to damage 100% of the time. He also has no peel in tank build, and his damage in assassin builds is only mediocre.

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

Why Mal'ganis and not other dreadlord? Why him? Why not Varimathras? Btw fagzzard will probably make Uther have some voice interaction with Mal'ganis referring to the lore and all you subhuman reddit faggots will praise fagzzard calling them based and shit like that, despite Uther being one of the dumbest cowardly characters in lore. He is a traitor, an ultimate kike indeed.

In an alternative reality where this game is actually good and Blizzard didn't become fagzzard with gay shit like Overwatch, they would add a second Arthas hero to the game as a ret paladin from before Frostmourne and whenever he kills Mal'ganis or he escapes he yells to him across the map globally "I'll hunt you to the ends of the earth"

Because Mal'Ganis was basically Arthas' groomer.

>Why not Varimathras?
Why Varimathras ?

HOLY CRACKERS

If the namefagging is correct, this rant is coming straight at you from gold 5 demotion games. And he probably genuinely believes it.

Not getting enough attention in the Veeky Forums channel faggot?

>reroll every epic chest
>gotten fucking nothing
>get all the stimpacks, heroes etc. from regular shitty chests i don't reroll
Me ooga fucking chests booga.

MIRROR IMAGES IS FUCKING CANCER

>furries

New player here. Can someone explain to me:

>how to get loot chests
>why I keep getting the same 4 maps
>how queueing/party-matching (in QM) works and why my queues are always 6-9 minutes
>any other useful information

You get loot chest when you level up or if you buy them with gems while mapa and qm are random.

>how to get loot chests
you just need to play

>why I keep getting the same 4 maps
new players' map pool is restricted

>how queueing/party-matching (in QM) works and why my queues are always 6-9 minutes
mmr
you're new

>any other useful information
Lili is fun and good.

Get a hero to 5 and then move on to another. At 5, you get a bonus 500 gold, and that's when leveling starts to feel like a drag. You'll be swimming in cash in no time.

>how get lootchests
buy them, goy. only 5 shekels per 100

>long ques
like said, you MMR is new so it takes longer for it to find people to force that 50% win rate.

lili is not fun

I wish I was Lunara.

i bet, you fucking faggot

>only 5 shekels per 100
wait, what's the shekel exchange rate? 100 chests would be something around 8,000 gems, so $80? So, is 1 shekel 16 bucks?

how do I mentally prepare for the varian players going twin blades and suicide diving like idiots for the whole game?

pick butcher and follow him in his madness

What does Ana's shrike skin reference?

Open wide user, here comes the choo choo train! choo choo!
It's her lore skin from OW where after she got her eye blown the fuck out and quit Overwatch she went around as an assassin with that moniker. It's also the name of a bird.

Very nice.

I knew about the bird. So It's ow "lore". I won't bother buying then.

>go 7:3 in placements
>Silver 2
Excuse you, game?

placement results mean literally nothing

>50 meat at min20
Jesus Christ almighty. Although, I fucking hate Butch raping me so he kinda deserves it.

>lvl 20
>20 min
>50 meat

>click coop vs ai because i need 9k exp to get level 3 auriel
>ai may be added to both teams
>its just me

>lvl 20
>20 min
>50 meat

easiest matchmaking in the world

>ai may be added to both teams

You still lose

Then what determines your shitter rank? I'm assuming it insulted me like this because out of the 7 wins, 6 were with malf. Why should the game punish you by forcing you to climb just because you want guaranteed wins?

>its a ToD episode
>someone picks sylvanas
Literally why?

>Then what determines your shitter rank?
internal mmr

Don't que as 4

...

Build is good but you really should go with Turbo Charged or Shield Capacitor at level 4.

>Diablo
Go Leoric
>Sonya
Go Tychus
>Genji
Go Tychus or Zuljin
>Hanzo
Go Illidan
>Nazeebo
Go Illidan
>Tracer
Go Zuljin or Raynor
>Varian
Go Lunara

Why not?

WHO???

>Tracer
Go varian

worst advice ever

nooooooooooooooooooooo

Me as Lunara. Did you not understand?

Who filmed you? Dont say yourself.

>not liking furries
Back to Ieddit or pol, we love fluffy bears in here

with HGC they usually give out free shit when you fill out some gay survery or some shit, is there something like that now?

implying that suicide comp isn't most fun?
this nigga has the right idea

who's the next hero gonna be

what do the ancestors say

Probably a SC hero, since the most recent ones were Overcancer and WoW.

The most recent one was SC, though.

"Genji
>go Thycus"
I never seen such a bad advice

Next one should be Diablo hero

>Genji gets close
>Active Minigun
>Walk away when he uses deflect
>Walk right back in when delfect is done and kill him

>forgot about blaze since he's so fucking shit
Can't forget about that piece of shit Handsoff though.

>walk right back in and kill him
>on a Genji that can dash across the entire screen or just jump off
Genji needs to be blinded/cc'd.

What is the worst map and why is it Towers of Doom?

More like best so cancer like Murky, Sylvanas and Zag are irrelevant.

You mean battlefield of eternity, and it's the worst map because it's really inflexible when it comes to picks.

Finally the Liliposter is back it seems. I'm not much of a furry, but that guy makes this suicidal thread much more happier. Go on you sick madman.

>All shall burn build Azmodan and Lucio
What an evil combination

>furries

Go little zergling go

did he do it?

Nope

>it's another vallas dies more than everyone else combined episode
Why is this rerun so often?

You all DID get your free master rank this season right /hotsg/?

Could be worse, could be the
>Valla goes with an AA build on Battlefield of Eternity
episode

I don't meet the requirements for Ranked, so no.

I have never played a single ranked, or unranked draft game.
