Daily reminder to NOT support voice chat in games. It is only a tool for harassing women and minorities in video games! /ourgal/ Ferociouslysteph has championed this campaign and you ought to join her.

Lili is fun and good.

I hope this is sarcasm.

>Grommash
Salt in the wound

I don't like Maiev's epic skins

Clearly not!

It's the truth, shitlord. You will only be harassing women and minorities with voice chat. This is just another avenue to hold them down.

>/ourgal/ Ferociouslysteph

Daily reminder NOT to take this user's b8

>mfw this reply that I am replying to is also ironic/sarcastic adding 94738 layers of irony to this whole bit

Go back

I'm with you user, let's defend the minorities!

>Take Lunara on BOE
>Does not take Nature's Culling
And that's why you're going to lose Team Liquid.

Jimmy bless

Hello I'm from the reddit thread, and I'm here to stay. Deal with it.

I just don't want it period
I got the fuck out of high school ten God damn years ago. Why the fuck would I want to listen, once more, to shrieking teenagers?

That said it'll happen tho

Team Liquid GODS

haha hanzo btw haha

Say something nice to her

Hanzo is fun and balanced

>Liquid has 3 Warcraft heroes
>Tricked did not
Guys I figured it out

Don't forget to thank your healer.

where the FUCK is Moira ?

does impregnation in the missionary position after marriage count as thanking them, because I really want to do that with Tyrande

NO
MORE
OVERSHIT

in the shitty game she was created for

I wish everyday HOTS team adds all 26 overwatch characters.

Shouldn't you be at the Seat of Pantheon, Illidan?

>Blaze was designed to be the team's tank
>Most teams plays him as a brusier
What went wrong

by the time they have 130 heroes I can promise you all OW heroes will be here except widow maker bc they gave that skin to nova to send a message

He can't tank. He can bruise and poke.

whats with bald mans fixation on pick/win rate
it's like he can't talk about anything else

i hate new malf

>tower of doom
>stitches hooks anub and eats him and walks behind our wall
>altars are up though
>enemy simply channels the altar while my team of retards follows the stitches on a kill they're never getting as anub simply burrows out

maybe I really should stop playing support to no longer have to rely on utter unga bunga teams
lost like 5k points the last 2 weeks

>Chromie is the Hanzo killer
But they designed him to tank

No, they designed a bruiser and called it a tank.

>my waifu Li-Ming keeps getting drafted on the losing team in HGC
it hurts to live

the only thing chromie killed is TL's chance of winning, looks like they'll finally get their first dragonshire loss

maybe next year

Says a lot about li-ming. Useless one trick pony.

he tanks fine, if you have an uther or any dive assassin its gg

And what does he do to tank well? his oil? hilariously easy to avoid. the hyper telegraphed stun/charge?

I don’t like Blaze’s skins. Plus they are gem only. It blows chunks.

I got the yellow one from a chest and am using it out of spite.

>3 kills in 20 minutes
we league now

Why are the kits to like every Diablo hero/villian some made up fucking nonsense that are all loosely tied to whoever, yet every Overwatch hero gets like a 1:1 transition even if it fits into a MOBA like a square peg fits into a round hole?

>game with Li-Ming, Hanzo, and Chromie in it
>barely any hero kills

>58%
Professional players.

WINIONS >>>>>>>>>> TEAM LIQUID

which diablo villains are you referring to
pretty sure diablo got an even mix of all of his abilities from 1-3, malthael got stuff from his trailer, azmodan and butcher were decently adapted from D3 and all of the nephalem are in a grey area because of how many abilities they've got

How's your first day on Veeky Forums?

Pretty good so far! Someone linked this "general" on reddit, and you know, the memes are pretty hot here. I'm glad someone posted a tutorial on "catalogs" though

So what is the concensus? Is Maiev good, bad, niche or mediocre?

We are going to get Sombra sooner or later user, that one should be your meme. Not even OW care about Moira, since like that black new guy (don't even remember his name) and Orisa, they weren't designed by the original art director. They'll never be popular.

Team Liquid more like Team Liquid for brains lmao

I want to make half-elves with Valeera

That must be some good liquid then considering they just brained their way to victory.

>hl draft
>I'm last pick
>alarak instalocked on my team first
>everybody hovering over assassins
>somebody dodges

Maiev is good

I think at pro play Maiev will be op, at lower tier they will cry when you draft her and throw half the games so it doesn't matter anyways

This is a boy isn't it?

I'm not even watching

we can only hope

>tfw Genji has a 35-40% wr at low mmr
>Gazlowe has a 55-60% wr
>the latter is considered is somehow considered the troll pick

how about some BW?

Of course.

>the absolute state of Liquid

all they needed was one more fel flame but gul'dan walked into their team for whatever reason

>nipples
MODSMODSMODS

This. Veeky Forums is a Christian website.

>Lost Vikings ban

Kharazim is a pretty terrible transition. No Mantras, no Exploding Palm, no Divine Bells Mystic Allies got remixed into basically shaman totems, Dashing Strike needs a target, Deadly Reach is something completely different, it just goes on.

Like I get they were hard up for supports at the time, but still they could have kept some more of Monks iconic abilities in a support kit, not this odd shit we got.

tricky esports

You have to ban it on cursed hollow against hasuobs

>trucked eshorts

Grom confirmed?

It's the new trash that will get posted in every goddamn thread from here on out. Right beside the dark day in Irish history

BRAAP BRAAP

>thanks for leash lol

So this is in every thread now? I'm just gonna assume your the garrosh guy

Should I get a 750 hero or wait until 2 are on sale?

thanks for core

dude greymane lmao

don't buy heroes with gems
only buy stimpacks with gems

>play hl
>lose first objective after ~5min
>"LOL RETARD TEAM NICE PICKS IDIOTS"
>game goes on for another ~15min and we stomp them
whats wrong with these people and at what rank do they stop appearing in every game?

They never stop appearing although they do get rarer

>winning
>someone dies inconsequentially while we are pushing advantage
>"gg retards gonna afk"
>we still win
People need to chill the fuck out sometimes
Chimping out over everything surely must get tiring? Why do they do it?

kys

Where?

So, is Ana just sorta bad?

Her self healing is abyssal.
Her healing for her team is surprisingly behind the curve as well, plus your allies can juke their own healing.
Her damage is alright, but needs 3 to 5 shots before it starts to get there.
She has no mobility.
Her stun, while long range, can be broken insanely quickly by the fart of a random minion or your own team.
And both her ults are middling at best.

Playing her against randoms, I've noticed that she is very easy to pick apart in poke wars, and will almost always die the moment anything jumps on her, as she cannot get away unless the fight takes place in a vacuum.

Her long range trait is neat, but most skillshots still outrange her until she hits 20.

nah she fine
just hard

and requires a bit of a team effort
particularly in the pve/waveclear department

Her entire purpose is to load long range heals into some beefy targets doing all the work, cancel big enemy heals, set up with sleep darts, and nanoboost.

That's basically it. She's not meta right now but hard to say she's bad due to some synergies like Malthael and Chogall

Ana's not the bad one. You are.

>11 games played

>games played: 11
Makes you think

>kda
gr-grandma

My point being I just picked her up and as you can see pretty much dominated with her easily in matches.

nothin personnel grandson

And our point is that you are celebrating way to early

WHAT WAS IT?

A mommy brightwing that user-kun got snitched on for

diablo nerf when
