Johanna loli is cute and fun and she tries her best to tank for you!

>doesn't include gem prices for skins

What are the 150 gem skins?

what the fuck even happened here

>Having to level multiple accounts

Hard pass

but how do I go calamity+cannoneer without illusionist

>muh links
>muh maymays
sure is reddit in here
no one gives a fuck, we just want to talk hots

I find it amusing that the people who complain the hardest about genji in the Veeky Forums chat play nothing but quickmatch.

>waaah my shitter gamemode isn't perfectly balanced, waaah i'm not given the tools to deal with certain heroes every game! fuck u blizzard

...

Is there a Maiev easter egg on the title screen? Haven't seen one in awhile.

Wait wut, don't you get like 2 characters, or does TL unlock everyone ?

Maiev joins the fight
Maiev shoots the teleport avatar
Maiev does a little damage with it, and opts to teleport past the Nova nuke
Maiev does the bully circle locking everyone in
Maiev does a final leash to yanks fucks in and clean up at 10% life
in that order, with a few Qs inbetween

Me overextending then Hanzo with PoTG stun arrow while the nova and malth flank.

Worth mentioning the nova is on my team and chromie yanked me back into the mosh pit.

bets laddos

Guys I really want Blackthorne as a hero, what do you think of my spotlight animation?

we (blue) fucking rekt them
never lost a fort, won in 15 minutes

I've only been playing for ~2 months
desu, these matches are challenging without being unfair, so I'm fine with high silver

first moba?

technically no
I played LoL for like 2 weeks in like 9th grade
but I'm also not a fucking retard, and I've been watching HGC/prismat's analysis so I'm trying to get better

>mfw every game as zuljin is fun, every time

I love this fucker. Guillotine is so much fun.

>7/10
ult 2 needs to be changed, we already have lightning breath and lava wave. plus now blaze.

maybe something that incorporates his way to dodge by sticking to walks? some sort of activatible evade heroic similar to Maiev's triat?

i wouldnt watch pro matches to learn, just watch high diamond to GM players.
Grubby, Dunktrain, Chu8, MFPT, Yunalescka, etc. in that order. Anyone who spams HL matches, because that applies to you (us) the most.

>MFPT
>Yunalescka

it's a start for a silver 3 player

>genji nerfed
get fucked, fags

Rip computer ?

that + maiev, his new dominatrix

How would dryad-human babies look like? (urgent)

they'd die at birth, sorry user

...

...

what
the fuck

I wish I didn't post original one so soon – the face on hotgs is fucked up.

blackthorne confirmed

Cenarius does some nature magic to stop the dryad's from getting preggers

>Anyone who spams HL matches, because that applies to you (us) the most.
half of the fagtrons in Veeky Forums haven't touched HL

I'm scared of competitive environments

...

>implying
how would you acquire the amount of knowledge demonstrated in this screencap without playing HL

nice

Starcraft hero deserves a spot in the window imo. Tosh?

Welllllll...
dryads are children of Cenarius, but he's an imaginary nigger with no mates, so he just wishes them into being.
One of Cenarius' sons fucked Theredras, and that made centaurs
So if a human mated with a dryad, either sex combo, you'd probably end up with something dreadful like satyrs, but more trogg-like.

>ugandan Nova with benis
no.

I have a good feeling about 2018 lads, I think we will see:
>Velen
>Blackthorne
>Imperius
>Belial
>Mal'Ganis
>Snake Sanders
>Lei Shen
>Tosh
>Selendis
>Rohana
>Vashj

>Trying to get bronze tl portrait
>have to play the accounts cause 11/14 heroes for TL
>I have to act like a bronzie

I didn't realise people were actually so bad at this game. You thought that random nerd in HL was bad ? Try actually playing with bronzies.

yeah but he is a Spectre, not a Ghost, he would have a completely different playstyle and kit.

>velen
no thanks don't need another healbot

>blackthorne
don't think he's ever coming but I would welcome him

>belial
maybe to shill d3

>mal'ganis
we will have a dreadlord eventually, my guess would be him or varimathras

>snake sanders
nonzero chance is still a chance, right?

>lei shen
probably not, there's more famous raid bosses

>tosh
good possibility, well liked sc hero

>selendis
meh more shield protoss shenanigans or whatever, boring

>rohana
potentially another global support mite b cool

>vashj
game needs a naga, although they might go with azshara to shill battle for azeroth

>>velen
>no thanks don't need another healbot
wait why not?

because all the healers in this game are effectively the same, heals, maybe a cc, no escape. and wow's heals are pretty generic, I'm not sure how he would stand out. prayer of mending for a heal when attacked?

Velen and Rohana and maybe Anduin are the only supports I'd accept at this point. Otherwise I want more Specialists/Warriors/Assasins for awhile.

I hope we get lady Vashj.
I want to make disgusting naga babies with her.

Rohana is really aesthetic desu. I could definitely see her in HOTS.

>random nerd in HL
who?

so is Velen.

>there are people who don't play Uther

jyggalag

oh
lol fuck that nerd

>Velen - Support
>Blackthorne - Assassin
>Imperius - Warrior
>Belial - Specialist / Assassin
>Mal'Ganis - Warrior / Assassin
>Snake Sanders - Specialist
>Lei Shen - Warrior / Assassin / Specialist
>Tosh - Assassin / Specialist
>Selendis - Warrior / Assassin
>Rohana - Support / Specialist
>Vashj - Assassin / Specialist

1 = most likely / 2 = likely

>mfw we might actually win this game

I just want on a losing streak pls

Any random nerd

who?
who?
who?
who?
yeah some dreadlord would be cool, at least one more hero should get sleep
who?
who?
who?
who?
who?
wouldn't mind a naga sea bitch kit without the frost arrows

you dont belong here

If they're going for the wc3 style nathrezim. They just need to make Mal'ganis or Tichondrius and have the rest as color variants.

Uther will keep you safe from the burst!

>Spectre, not a Ghost
What's the difference?

Spectres use more psionic abilities. kerrigan was well on her way to the spectre program but became the queen of blades instead. Nova is a great ghost but her psionic abilities are not even close to Tosh, Duran or Kerrigan.

ghosts are more like sniper with light psi powers. spectres are like psychic assassins.

Ghosts have limited psionic ability but are highly trained assassins/covert ops/spec ops and masters of stealth. Specters are the same but they excel in psionic abilities so therefore serve a difference purpose. their psychic abilities make them stand out. Tosh is who Kerrigan would have been if never succumbed to the Overmind, who is also psychic.

God I love Nova who always triple taps get Genji.

Tychus continues to be best man, now if only he had specific lines with Maiev.

tfw you pull a cumback out of your ass after a dumb play almost lost the game

>11 death etc

gotta love qm

rpboyer15.github.io/sounds-of-the-storm/vo/vo_hero/E.T.C./E.T.C. - Default/ETC_WorthIt01.mp3

also he took death metal so i got a few free kills when he died

thats not correct. Spectres can be made from any human with at least latent psionic power by terrazine, but base psi power level matters a lot.
Nova became top psi human after Kerrigan had joined gods.
And in SC2:CO she has get some terrazine, not in spectre's way though.

what a trash fucking game
this nigger birdperson was 100% in telling people what to draft

jesus christ

100% wrong, that is
he wasn't paying attention and told me to go ranged damage as last pick

>Nova is a great ghost but her psionic abilities are not even close to Tosh, Duran or Kerrigan.

Kerrigan re-wrote the scale when she was discovered, being a class 10 tp-tk (telepath - telekinetic) and eventually being upgraded to a class 11 (ON A CHART THAT GOES TO 10) and finally class 12 as queen of blades.

When nova was discovered (during the invasion of tarsonis; where kerrigan was abandoned) she was classified as a class 10 tp-tk and they still weren't sure that was an accurate measurement for her but they put her there because that was literally the only place on the scale they had.

Nova was intended to be a "mirror" for kerrigan. Both killed their parents. Both entered the ghost program. Both were at the top of the scale and damn near rewrote it. Both could have been viable candidates to become infested like the zerg wanted (if mengsk had evacced kerrigan the zerg swarm would have sped through the rest of tarsonis and caught nova before she got off planet).

Nova is a hell of a lot more powerful than Tosh, who was in the same ghost program with her.

>Nova is a hell of a lot more powerful than Tosh, who was in the same ghost program with her.
But not more powerful than the D

Since Maive is gonna be shittting up QM would anyone part some knowledge on a good hero to pick to counter that little slut?

Daniel Tosh?
