say something nice about maiev

HER MOVE SET IS BROKEN! PLEASE NERF! FUCK MAIEV!

she has nice thighs and I want to suffocate between them

Lili is fun and good.

I love Lunara!

She is going to violate overwatch!

Most loyal waifu.

I like playing zeratul

sorry

She fucks orcs tho

THE GODDESS IS FINALLY HERE

I forgive you. Much better image.

Uhm, no she doesn't.

Yes, she does fuck them with her pointy spear.
Stop denying canon lore you fucktard.

At last.

>Maiev

More like shiet!

>Passive: 15 Armor

Canon lore is we get married and live a happy life with lots of children!

WHERE THE FUCK IS MAIEV?

HERE!

New skin, maybe?
:3!

Still butthurt after ten thousand years I see.

Phantom Assassin ?

Once Maiev is in the game, I'm going to use Illidan to fuck her shit up.

Thrall passive armor when?

>the one hero you miss playing the most
Valeera.

>Rehgar, Gul'dan, Tyrael, the rest don't matter
Yeah, someone told me that Gul'dan is the better buy here. I honestly wouldn't mind buying him, but I feel he won't be sticking with me for long, mainly because everyone in HL just picks assassins and mages. Though, that also applies to Valeera, but she's a shit ton of fun. At least in QM, when she was in the free week and pre current buffs.

How OP will Maiev be on release?

How would those children even look

what if his trait gave armor for 1.5s when proc'd?

>two threads in one day
>both from good OP
Alive game and I love OP!

Only if it's fifty armor so skillful use can actually block stuff :)

will oppress this game and kill it even faster

Well, I am feeling better about my performance. Though I just can't seem to win with her. I've had one solid game with her today. She is really fun though.

High mobility heroes will find her annoying. Low mobility heroes will get shit on. Probably going to be another garrosh.

and has an horrible voice.

her new voice sounds like garbage compared to the old one

youtube.com/watch?v=w1EhV3LOcAM

>Probably going to be another garrosh.
So nobody will know how to play against her on NA?

>tfw I was the original "MAIEV WHEN!" poster
>now that she's in HoTS
>I don't want her anymore

What a disappointment.

>guys this is my meme!
>stop it's mine!!
>notice me!!!

>Illidan uses THE HUNT on Maiev
>Vaults to dodge it
>Hits him with containment disc

A NEW ERA OF LORE FRIENDLY INTERACTIONS

Literally same voice actor, but after throat cancer.

>Malfurion roots him out of it, Tyrande kills him with Owl from across the map.

KEKED FOR 10 THOUSAND YEARS

Give passive armor to Raynor

He'd probably be happy Tyrande noticed him.

>tfw Tyrande in the current patch

illidan did nothing wrong

malf is a shit brother

>Hitting at least 3 enemy Heroes with Fan of Knives reduces its cooldown to 0.5 seconds, and refunds its Mana cost.
>Spotlight guy says at least 2 enemy Heroes
who to trust ?

Okay but he loses the auto-heal ability.

Raynor doesnt need more passive
He needs more active

>outhealed by uther
Literally how the fuck

glad you could make it, Uther

>implying those two things are mutually exclusive

Illidan did tons of shit wrong regardless of Malfurion.
'x did nothing wrong' posters should be gassed by brapposting fatass 400lb Americans in punishment for ALWAYS being super fucking wrong.

This is true

But that doesnt make it any more fun/valid of Maiev to hunt him. If she didnt she'd be a shit warden.

>5 to 24
You can't heal dead people.

Everyone would be sucking Fel dick if it weren't for Illidan

you talkin shit about amy wong?

they wouldn't be dead if they were healed :^)

Maiev did nothing wrong.

What did Illidan do wrong though

It all comes from that whole "He sacrifice a bunch of his own students by murdering them mid battle so he could get stronger". But its not like he did it on a whim, he did it because he had to.

If he didn't the war with the legion would have been over right there and then
Its just like pic related culling stratholme. Everyone villfies the heroes that had to get their hands dirty for the greater good

Meanwhile superheroes that never had to do much heavy lifting and just had to keep punching bad guys in the face (Aka tirion) get a heroes welcome

cant you just run up and hit her? her daggers only work in that crescent, her pull only works if you run away, she can literally only autoattack you if you just stand in her face right?

I bet Maiev has a cock

Can always stay back and heal Abathur :^)

Half the fucking wrong things happening were happening because of Illidan to begin with. He just barely scratched out a neutral record - being a fucking pissant asshole all the while. Doesn't speak well of him at all.

both Arthas and Kael'thas did nothing wrong and deserve redemption stories. If Illidaddy can have one why can't they.

maybe if Kael came back the Blood Elves would finally leave the fucking Horde

>he only read the first line

>tyrandes owl breaks him out of prison

DESU Maiev did nothing right or wrong

She just did her job. And did it well. And people loved her for being such a badass autist dedicated to MUH JAIL. Its refreshing

More and more I'm just convinced to seriously play Raynor.

Even Maiev, I should just braap brrraaap her and overwatch shitters can't handle banshees

Not at a fixed distance, it's like a crescent shaped Moonfire, she can hit directly in front of her if she wants to, rewatch the spotlight.

>well
too soon

How the heck would kael come back?
inb4 another timeline

I'll be honest, most people got CC'd and 1-shot by their deathball once Big D became immortal and Uther brought down the hammer. Not to say I helped much besides a few decent wing flaps in team fights.

>Getting set back was merely a set back

Nobody ever said kael did anything wrong, it's just that he's canonically a cucked loser and nobody fucking likes him.

...

having your head taken for a quest turn-in doesn't mean jack shit in WoW

best girl Vanessa's head was a quest turn-in and in Legion they just went "lolnope you were affected by her poisons she's fine"

Nuh uh, Arthas and Illidan yes, Kael no. Kael was a cunt.
I liked him, but he traded his people for power.

Imagine being a blood elf and your prince left you with a bunch of superheroes to go to draenor with illidan, and you're thinking "Oh man, the alliance let us down, the horde is a bunch of savages, and the scourge tore our assholes open, lets just leave"

And then you get to outland just to find it a wrecked wasteland and your prince you idolised has joined up with the burning legion to build mana factories and ramp everyones addiction to mana up to 11

It makes a good dickhead king story, but he wasnt a good guy

t. arthas

>maiev will oppress overwatch players and force them to suicide

he was a good guy, Illidan was in the wrong for not sharing whatever was underneath the Reliquary of Souls with Kael and his people, because whatever was in there was what he used to purify and control literal demons

OVERSHIT HEROES GET FUCKED
THE WARDEN IS HERE

I assume she can just tether people and run back to set up a wombo combo or gang bang.

None of which would of happened if Illidan didn't get shit on after saving the world the first time.

>tether
>enemy forced to stand and give you the business or get succed into a 5 man bukkake
>Genji and Tracer can't dash out

Yeah, but for someone who WANTS to be in your face like Arthas, she can't really do anything but AA him.

this has made it less clear, is it fixed distance or can you cast that crescent anywhere up to its max range?

>A literal who got ress
wow

>Tracer uses E
>Genji gets pulled in during deflect then dashes out

Wow good counter

Just think tyraels smite.

I want to play Maiev. RIGHT. NOW.

Why the fuck is this less clear? Are you stupid? You literally see the explanation (it's like Moonfire) and a picture with a TARGETED GREEN AREA and a YELLOW MAX RANGE.
WHY do you think it's fixed distance. What makes you think that after that these two posts? Reason what made you think so, because I reckon it's absolutely stupid and amounts to a brainfart.

ok that makes sense

It's worth pointing that Johanna can though. I mean it's not as if anything Maiev can shit out will in any way inconvenciene, but if she want's to leave she can just press a button and walk away. Or take to the skies. Or just look at her watch, look at Maiev and shrug as nothing of worth noting happens to her.

...now if only she could cause any actual real damage.

because the picture kinda looks like it was at max distance, but i think you enjoy being mad so im not gonna disagree with you

Kael chose not to throw his lot in with Illidan. He literally says he didnt wanna leave his future to some "Blind half elf mongrel".
He thought "Hey man the legion gives me super powers they're probably the better guys to side with"

I want to marry Gilly

johanna could just go AFK and let maiev get bored, its all the same

The pull stuns as well though.
So if Genji tries to dash out he gets yanked bank and stunned with dash on cooldown. So he's forced to either stand there with deflect up, then die if he hasnt be saved in that time

Or just walk out with deflect up and get yanked and stunned back in. Any followup stun and genji gets squished.
