Genuine question. Are people in this general legit with Down's syndrome and what not or are they simply pretending? You have evidence of dreadlord right in your fucking face. Why do you still insist that it's your shitty LGBT reddit trash hero? What the fuck?

I am honestly shocked that HotS community is this deeply retarded.

If you think it's Maiev then I hope you get secured in a box the size of your body, but with an opening for your face and the rest of your front, chained to a speeding truck and face into concrete. Hope the same happens to all your family members and relatives. You seriously deserve such treatment.

DAILY REMINDER THAT 27.07.2017 WILL BE FOREVER REMEMBERED AS A DARK DAY IN ORCISH HISTORY.

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

>this much delusion

IT'S POWER GROWS

>not blasting the most technical metal while playing the most technical hero(ktz)

Where the FUCK is Magatha?

HOLY FUCK IT'S MAIEV
FUCKING BASED BLIZZARD

Patch is up boys

>Valeera buffed
>Sonya BTFO
>Hanzo handslap nerfs
>Sgt. Hammer nerfs
>Brightwing buffs
>Tyrande 0% buff
>massive Blazze buffs

>Blaze buffs
He was too weak?

Yes, he was undertuned

Bruiser Valeera is a go

>sgt hammer nerfs
What? Why?

She creeped up to 55% winrate

Cos he is unimpactful on his own and unable to carry a team of shitters

>sonya nerfs

I feel like he needed to "fit" the size of certain chokepoints more
so either he needed bigger oil or different oil size talents
because blaze really shines when you dont have anywhere to run, i.e. not in early-mid game laning

What did Blizzard meant by this?

>brightwing gets more health and a bit more regen
Very happy.

go back to /mu/ where pretending is past-time.

Guess no reveal/2nd teaser today. At what time it happened yesterday? Guess 27.01 will be when they show the Malganis spotlight and its gonna be dark day in dreadlord history cause it will be yet another hero with unfitting as fuck abilities

OH SHIETTTTTT MY DELICIOUS VALEERA BUFFED

TIME TO RAPE PEOPLE

twitter.com/twitter/statuses/956225099501219841
I BET YOU FEEL STUPID NOW YOU SUBHUMAN NIGGER

It's actually Mannoroth.

Tease 2 is up

that skulking pose
its obviously female witch doctor

twitter.com/BlizzHeroes/status/956225099501219841
just as soon as you posted lol

>it's actually maiev

look at the cloak literally a warden cloak

look at the eyes literally a warden eyes

So someone is walking towards the crystal and it's from the viewpoint of whoever is trapped inside the crystal. Is this a possible double reveal?

>cloak

I see a hunched over figure looking at whatever's in the crystal. One long arm, doesn't look humanoid. Some type of protrusion from the back as well.

I think it might actually be Inarius.

Yeah, they're revealing both Illidan and Maiev.

BLAZE NERFED LMAO

Go to wow head and check the ready to attack animation from female nelves its a match.

Altruis confirmed he will be a tank dh.

>smoking

Nope

New green thing, it kind of looks like a toss.
Think we might get another double release with Maiev and Fenix? Toss are pretty big into crystals.

>Maiev holds her weapon in her right hand
>the teaser shows the figure holding something in the right hand
>cloak showing, its edges being white just like Maiev's cloak

the only reason i agree with this image is the giant ring thing on the head

>hanzo's broken jungling still untouched

HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

Literally everything except oil quest was buffed WTF you smoking

It's Vorazun.

i guess it was an intended feature

new hd warden armor

>soyboy

Its dreadlord you FUCKING IDIOTS

>he thinks I never played WoW

Three things.

1) Night elf females do not have a hunched over attack posture. They stand erect, back arched, side-on to their target.

2) The back protrusion isn't a ring-shape like Wardens have. It looks wing-like.

3) Look towards the low-center portion of the teaser. Something there is also moving in time to the movements of the rest of the form. The shape suggests a tail.

Now look at the D2 and D3 renditions of Inarius. Demonic, hunched over, wings, tail.

I'd post a pic but for some fucking reason Google has decided to go full retard and won't give me a decent one of him from either D2 or D3.

What the hell is that weapon supposed to be anyways?

>they took out shadow assault just to put it on vorazun
fucking brilliant

is valeera worth picking now?
it doesn't seems like any of those changes amounts to anything.

That's just Warden armor, not Maiev.

I could actually see them release Vorazun as a skin for Zeratul.

Is that maiev though?

Am I seeing this right?

Blizzard calls it "umbra crescent". It's a type of glaive. Which is Blizz's repurposed word for "any weapon with a strangely shaped blade"

I know but she could look like that in hd.

Nah just the warden who took her place when she ran away.

The gif looks like a female undead.

chakram
that's what i saw; person is left handed and hunching, else lordosis and righthanded
Also giant donut, shaped thing on head

>People said we couldn't have Vorazun because Zeratul already had her big thing
>Blizz just outright replaces it with something else to open that slot for her

This user gets it. That lower U shape is a tail, not part of a cloak. The upper portions are wings or some other type of back protrusion. That's why I'm betting on Inarius or [something else demonic. Maybe an Annhilian like Mannoroth or Magtheridon.

>Maiev gets that as a skin

It's literally Maiev's idle animation, dumb dorks. Maybe combat idle animation.
youtube.com/watch?v=Ug2z7uLIeo8

>Hammer nerfs
can't
make
this
shit
up

Am I the only one that would prefer Naisha over Maiev? I would like more ranged warriors.

won't fucking happen anytime soon tho because "muh wasted slot"

You know what would be sick? If you included a pic of Inarius in your post.
Anyway, it's not him.

I don't give a fuck about the character itself I want good desinged heroes.

That's what I'd like to believe, but it's too obvious. And with that stupid dreadlord and belial leak you can't ever be too sure.

...

>Belial confirmed
Nice.

I haven't seen the video but if that's the case then it's 100% maeiv. In the dh quest for legion she walks up to you while you're trapped in a crystal, and hots already has Illidan in the game.

Actually wardens crouch all the time in a hunched over position.

Looking for BAAL???

He's a big evil.

UuUu

Try to focus on where the 'weapon' is which is on the figure's right side. It shows a subtle ring as the figure moves.

>tfw sanctity of heaven breached

You've obviously never played WoW, because wardens have a separate model, which was made for Maiev in TBC.

idk if the figure is hunched forward then its left side

>says female night elves
>NO MAN I MEANT WARDENS SRSLY

>if it's a dreadlord maievniggers will be forever btfo
>if it's maiev leaklets will be btfo
>get a cool hero either way
win win

Wardens used Blood Elf female models.

What is that green shit in the launcher?

>female
>cool
XD

Who is ready for Belial?

Bingo. They lean forward with their right-handed weapon held forward. The teaser model isn't posed like either a fem Belf or a fem Nelf.

And again, the back protrusion isn't a ring-shape like Warden armor. Sorry Maievfags, I'm pretty sure this isn't her.

You're right, I can see the weapon's spikes when they move in front of the legs.

I am. Belial was one of the good parts of D3.

Sonya is finally kill, hope your Malthael is well practiced user

>Hanzo still does infinity PvE damage
and the shimada bans continue

...

>ktz
It's not funny anymore guys, s-s-stop

Act 2 was the high point of Diablo 3. It had Zoltun Kulle.

You can also make out the horns of the helmet. Download gif and watch it slowed down

Another hero and still no Imperius. How long has it been since Malthael.

We did it boys, 2% damage reduction on Hanzo, he's balanced now.

>sewers

>killing zk
still better than act 3 and act 4

desperate

Angel heroes all look the fucking same
