first for our boy azmodan

fuck greymane

i want that KT skin

>coolest side characters in SC2 and its expansions were Tychus, Abathur and Alarak
>coolest heroes in SC2 are coincidentally Tychus, Abathur and Alarak
hmm

>Malthael can now cleave
Yo

Are Malth changes a net win or loss for him? I feel the loss of armour on tormented souls is just too big even if his aa now cleaves.

>Hanzo's movement bug when you hold RMB still not fixed
>Malthael nerfed that much

well

coolest heroes in hots, even

Kael*

now it's malthael who will "die alone"

Huge win in waveclear and mana efficiency

Will have to see how it turns out because he basically doesn't need Tormented Souls anymore.

Art looks good but actual skins and mount look like dog shit.
They shouldn’t given us a fierce Fu dog mount instead of this half assed cutesie shit we got.

its KT

Xth for VOICECHAT IS FINALLY HERE BOYS
CAN'T WAIT FOR SCREAMING BRS AND RUSSIANS

Jesus christ those skins for the new event are fucking disgusting holy shit man.

What the fuck happened with Hots team? I though they were based.

The rocket mount is perfect for Junkrat

Is Kael'Thuzad also getting a skin?

It's just chink pandering fodder. Who cares.

I never had mana problems as malthael, just don't spam death shroud or wraith strike on creep and make sure to tap when you get low.

I don't think they're too bad. The only GREAT one is zul'jin.

>Tormented Souls (R)
>No longer applies Armor to Malthael
For what purpose

lol

That's kind of the issue. Needs to burn mana to shove waves.

Either way it's a gain in that depantment. Change to Die Alone is huge for his sustain in the solo lane too.

Nerf to the dot sucks, but I get why they tuned it.

yes

Are you mad because they are not slut skins or something?

some look good, kt looking a little derpy
zul'jin one is pretty badass

one shroud and 2 Qs clears the wave, if you're being mana cheap just use shroud and AA the ranger minions

This is good for trade, i used to hit creeps when i was fighting solo after shroud expires.

wew lads

Maiev Gem only skin is Epic and the bundle costs 1475 gems if you don't own her already

ME WANT MILKIES NOW!

>Manface
>Textures fucked up
>Disgusting colors
Are you fucking retarded?

reminder alex is NOT for lewds

>n64 graphics on the bow

WOW BASED HOTS DEVS TOOK THEM 4 YEARS TO IMPLEMENT THIS FEATURE. THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE MORE TRANNY SKINS AND HEROES SUCH AS LI MING ALEXSTRASZA MAIEV

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

>sylveanenanes now looks like a sulky little shit to match her sulky little shit attitude
Good.

>vault of the wardens on an 8 second CD
oof

afternoon

Is Kharazim the only support you can play as a straight up dps?

It's kael*

its funny how they keep releasing new skins for heroes who has like 1000 skins already

...

>boards.fireden.net/vg/search/filename/283px-Garrosh_-_art3.jpg /

WOW I feel bad for this guy.

Should I buy the lunar or the imperial lunar?

I never liked this skin because of that long neck

Tyrande, and honorable mention to Holy
Shock Uther

Dude armor LMAO

MAIEV IS FINALLY HERE

>>vault of the wardens on an 8 second CD
yeah. that'll get nerfed I hope

>nerf malths ability to anti-deathball
>maiev is now literally the unkillable anti-deathball
eh

her single-target and waveclear doesn't even seem that bad

Finally get to spend some doritos

Skin when?

insomnia or mcintyre for a PTR stream?

Personally I like the sylv and zul skins, genji and azmo recolors look great in-game. kael is such a fag only face and body altering skins are worth owning, no surprise his skin looks even more gay. literally only playable as stormbot kael.

Maeiv's default voiceline is "Where's Illidan?"

youtube.com/watch?v=7sG4YQS9jqk

>People are literally thinking Malth will be good
>In the same game where Tracer, Hanzo and Genji are allowed to do whatever the fuck they want

How can people be this stupid? The almost zero mobility Melee will be of any use, okay sure what the fuck ever.

Oh shit

You're fucking stupid, QM baby

youtu.be/hkrdcNCgRng
Khadgar confirmed

Yeah because Genji and Hanzo having an almost 100 pick ban rate at HGC (with Tracer not far behind) means they are QM stompers and that’s it, good one user.

Let me gues you thinking Thrall is still even relevant in this game anymore right?

happyzerg, don't tell me you can't speak Russian?!

Cat girl skin first

Malthael has like an 80% winrate despite that faggot

I want to settle down with Maiev!

long neck panda

>waveclear/push is better
>jungle clear feels better
>last rites looks more appealing
I'm looking forward to this, actually.

nevermind

Her poke lines are great

>buff Greymane
Can't make this shit up

>these Samuro portraits

kek

Based Blizzard not listening to shitters.

TIME TO CHOOSE MOTHERFUCKERS.

PATRICIAN TASTE BLUE

OKAY TIER GREEN

DOGSHIT RED WITH GOLD

>no girl will ever want to kill me as much as Maiev wants to kill Illidan
sadfrog.jpg

Thrall is great. He's just not "cool" anymore. KTz is great as well, most pros stick to the few "meta" picks they've learned because he needs too much time to master.

IN-DEV VI...
Blog? This is new.
us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/21464984/

Pretty much.
NEW TLV SKINS WHEN

blue

her roams are terrifying

It's nice how many of these they're making now.

He's just in a bit of a weird spot because of how flexible/versatile his kit is, sort of like ETC and Malfurion.

with the introduction of emoji and sprays this is actually a better format imo

For what purpose?

literally never. be glad those fuckers aren't removed from the game

I'm going to post this every day until you like it

Ölóf
Beaelolg
Ereirk

>mfw

Blue is the less bad looking one.

Thrall is a melee Assassin with the worlds worst gap closer and a mediocre root as his only ways of getting in.

Those tools both used to be quite good but then Overwatch made them about as redundant as newspapers today.

I already do! Is there a Li ming version?

It looks nice though.

...

the misplaced norsemen

CUTE

>She gives you this look

Why not? It's pretty decent for a 100/150 skin.

This is rather nice.

A well timed W fucks a Tracer or a Genji in seconds with E. Git gud.

*unzips dick*

>semen production increases by 300%
>an erection that could pierce the heavens
