We live!?

Yeah I started to freak out.

Same.

Where the FUCK is my new Hero teaser?

delete hanzo

[Picture of Lili]
Lili is fun and good.

Chill. Mal'ganis is coming. A new wave of Warcraft assassins will bless us this year.

>Veeky Forums breaks
>good OP pulls through
Missed you /hotsg/

I want it NOOOOOW

Teaser around noon on Friday during HGC
Stay tuned

>Friday

That's the schedule nerd.
>week 1 hero teased on Friday
>week 2 hero goes to PTR on Monday
>week 3 hero releases on Tuesday with patch
>week 4 off week
>repeat

I hope the few cancerwatch Heroes we get this year are the cool ones like Reinhardt, Bastion, Reaper or McCree.

>Game with a real unga bunga tank, really bad at tanking despite having level 21 with the character and saying that he was good during draft. Lose game mostly because of him
>Next game notice that he is on the enemy team
>Proceed to destroy his entire team, end score was 21-0 and I made sure to target the player who ruined the previous game as much as possible.
There are few feelings that are better then this one, it really helped that he continued being a shit player.

and Mei

>three (3) different generals
hotsbabs?

Not my fault newfags can't use crtl+f

REMOVAL OF OVERSHIT HEROES WHEN??????

>they won't rework sylvanas because all the beginner AI farmers (aka huge autists) would get pissy

when is blizzard gonna learn those people don't matter lmao

Slyvannas isn't even good in her niche
Literally not even good at pubstomping either

Players of this game really are bad

>both are [embed]fag mouthbreathers
Behead newfags
Long live good OP

Mei is a fatass unfunny disgusting piece of baby diahrrea.

[Garithos inhuman pic]
Reminder that Sylvanas is the worst designed hero in moba history, she's literally useless at everything except at stunning buildings. No waveclear before 7. Her gameplay is awful (no skillshot, needs to be carried by her team to be useful or have to splitpush). Even as a character (in wow) she is disgusting.

Blizzard needs to delete or completely rework her.

I just wanted to see if I could actually post something. because long live the eternal general.

I forgot about [embed]

gaschamber.jpeg/arthus_purge.jpg

You tried

Sex with Tyrande!

Ew gross

New hots rotation

Diablo(me), Kharazim, Dva, Greymane and Jaina
Vs
Zarya, Guldan, Varian, Lili and Valla

Place your bets people.

You should fuck them up probably

pls be girl diablo

She's pretty cool though :^)

I myself want Symmetra. For one thing, the only "hyper mobility" horseshit she brings to the table is a teleporter ultimate, and for another, her kit has enough stuff in it that they wouldn't have to reach very far to adjust it.

It might not hurt that she's my most played character in that shit game, too.

It all depends on whatever or not people will attack Zarya when the shields are up.

what map you shitter?

Also obnoxious black cat d.va when?

Volska foundry, and it's green goliath Dva

Mal'Ganis by the end of the week, right?

If they ever get the protector you're boned.

Yeah, will probably tease him out on wednesday and we will get an indev on friday

I know we have more than enough Warcraft, but I love that shit and can't help wanting more

Magatha Grimtotem when?

I agree, if only ao my buddy can stop bringing her up every couple weeks. Boy is dedicated to his fake wife

>more than enough
Blizzard should make up with at least 10 warcraft heroes for each overshit.

imgur.com/4HhtJ1P
Soon hopefully

Boy oh boy

unf

I hope they do the cinematics for hype heroes such as malganis and maiev.

We lost, badly. It all started swimming when our support went afk for 3 minutes and when Dva sent her self destruct in the other direction of the first objective. With such a flying start you can only imagine how much better things went after that, things turned out so much better with lacks of good follows up to Diablo, Greymane leaving after the second objective and the Kharazim going with the Iron Seven strikes meme build.

Because that's what your solo support should do, go for fucking damage.

I hope they do a crossover of Mal'ganis and Belial.
Given next Overwatch hero coming with Hanamura will most likely be Reinhardt, bets on next SC hero?

whew zeebo on foundry is dumb

>tfw can't post my waifu

Just imgur link shit like

Blackthorne when for this Overwatch moba?

>omg I fucking hate hyper mobile gun shooting heroes in this game u hate you blizzard
>blackthorne comes out
>hyper mobile gun shooting hero
>wtf I love blizzard now

Except he couldn't shoot and move at the same time

Mira Han

overwatch*

Their both demons so I can see it. Maybe release a couple demonic skins along with them and call it an event

what would she do?
Honestly her concept would probably replace that of the reaper
>being devious
>explosions

Demonic KT when?

>not disco

Why the fuck would you want Bastion when there's already hammer?

Kael or Kel'thuzad?

Fuck why are threads so dead today?

>page 8
Ded game

Veeky Forums is fucked and has been all day

I can't masturbate to lewd images of HotS waifus

No, it would be entirely different, you see:
>attack while moving
>self heal
>better archon
>magatha's grimtotems
(〃°ω°〃)

Also it's a fucking Monday.

Why would you fucking want bastion when hammer already exists

t. wagecuck

Hanzo needs his escape nerfed, other than that he's merely very strong. I'm of the mind that a hero should have range or escape, but not both.

can't post waifus
no point in existing anymore

You have to be over 18 to post

a slight "max-range" nerf would be nice
otherwise i have no idea how these free-weekers keep missing their shit
His Q projectile speed is on par with ana's, and with a bigger hitbox

The only nerf he needs is his armour reduction talent, make it so that it only applies to auto attack.

Kael'Thas.
Like some shtick from Diablo.

That's why you play the tank or support, good luck taking a boss when the tank or support isen't helping.

the range of his offense abilities or his escape need to be nerfed. Personally I'd rather his escape be nerfed so while he might have great range and poke, if illidan is eating his butt he should die, not dive over a wall 1/3rd of a screen away.

Tracer and Genji has high mobility, but their skill range is relatively short. Raynor is long ranged anti-mobile with only a run faster skill. Valla has a mediocre roll and a mediocre skill range. Cassia has limited mobility too.

I don't mind Hanzo being a top tier or top pick, but I don't want him to have great burst, great range, great mobility. At least Nova has downsides.

i think the concept of that armor reduction talent is that both his Q and auto attack have slow cast times so stacking and maintaining the armor reduction is hard
I would move the talent to a max stack, but on sonar arrow direct hits (inherent) and maybe make it splash (i.e. spooky dagger on sylvanas) OR apply per ricochet arrow, BUT increase the CD
One of those two, but not both for reasons

>stacking and maintaining the armor reduction is hard
Is it? Is it really? Go Redemption at level 1, finish the quest and don't die. With an attack speed of 1 APS and storm bolt then he will have no trouble keeping the debuff up.

Yeah at the moment I only see nova being useful with alex, and thats only because she can do the 500 Hp thing, but thats only at level 20 so valla at the moment has too long a wind up time compared to some people; maybe if they gave her some armor along with hatred stacks; it's not like she has alot of health
I don't think it is personally and as players have shown, but I'm speaking from the perspective of the developers:
>he has slow ass attack speed and a relatively weak ass auto
>his Q fucks you hard if you miss
but the problem ofc is you have to be retarded to miss and even tracer has to preempt to dodge else she loses 1/3rd HP from a quest'd Q

>I only see nova
wtf meant to say valla

>wanting malganis when we already have 2 dreadlords, jaina and diablo

>malganis
how would a new raid boss fare?
a sort of toe-to-toe counter to ragnaros's talent
It can be some tough shit when you draft and you've got to play ball against someone who actually knows how to use molten core, ESPECIALLY on tinier maps

[lewd dreadlord Jaina pic]
Diablo ?

>he has slow ass attack speed
Which Redemption fixes by giving him 1 APS when it's done, and his "relatively" weak auto attack is going to hurt with a 25 armour reduction. And relative weak auto attack? It's only 20 points below worgen Greymane

>not wanting a male Dreadlord
are you a faggot or wat

well its an awful comparison but i was comparing it to other people with slow auto attacks
like stukov and garrosh
Also I thought the core thing to do was Q-quest because mid-late game a wellplaced double explosion piercing Q into a minion/pet wave can do a TON of damage to multiple heroes

>wanting mal'ganis instead of imperius

So Genji is going to get the Garrosh treatment at some point right?

why arent you playing leoric

Is there any character that HotS needs more than Yrel?

>wanting anyone over lei shen
lei shen
