the OP needs some trimming i think

it keeps getting longer and longer

2nd for Maiev

2nd for Tyrael!

Working on it. After Lunar New Year is over it will condense.

First for KT = Kel'thuzad

1st for protoss

I WANT MORE VOICE LINES

Stop posting this

Just got about 2k from playing brawl in 2 hours

ez money

I don't think rank is valuable enough in this game.

>place Platinum, Diamond or Master
>maybe flounder around for a bit, realize you aren't going to climb
>doesn't matter if you drop because you already secured your rewards
It's even worse that these people don't have to play more than a dozen games, not like they have to do some crazy grind every season to get Diamond-Master.

Why is this allowed in a T-rated video game?
Should children as young as 13 be exposed to such debauchery?

It'd be better off you got a base reward for your final rank, then your games played was like a multiplier of that

Gold is useless in this game, unless you just started playing, but then you're already getting a shitload of it from leveling heroes and heroes themselves from all the free boxes.

This is me

Big fat nightelf ass.

Not big enough

may Elune light the path

>gold is useless in this game

>that midriff
oof

wish I could play Valla without getting blown up

> mommy has a gift for you

It's actually about 750-800 in 1 hour

The value is that your games become less of a clown fiesta the higher you climb, as your team unfucks their shit and you get better. I don't think Dota 2 players even get a reward for their rank (maybe now they do?), it's all about e-peen and having fun playing the game at an actually high level.

What can be done to fix the quality of Quick Match games?

hairy mommy dragon p*ssy...

Oh shit, forgot you can reroll chests with it, carry on.

I've only gotten 3 heroes total from boxes and I'm closing in on level 100.

Monara when?

Merge it with unranked and make it identical to all pick in Dota 2 (you can still draft for synergy and counters, but you can still instalock your assassins).

You know the Brawl thing where it lets you pick from one of three Heroes? That or bring back mirror matches. It might seem like a meme but the game is legit too complex and has too few players to consistently have ""balanced"" compositions, especially if taking into account that it might be a guys second game on Ana.

It'd just be nice if the level 150 "smurfs" couldn't shit up Diamond+ games. Like, I can understand Master+ not wanting to climb through Gold, Platinum and Diamond literally ever again but do new accounts really have to place so high? Especially if it's based on QM mmr which doesn't involve drafting?

At least have MMR seed from Unranked Draft or something, even if that can be exploited via premades.

thas rite

The beginning of the year is always rough, lost of events back to back and HGC

Remove it entirely and make people play draft

Imagine the outrage if they made it into one of the rotating brawl modes or removed it entirely.

Im not home yet ill do it later :(

let's put like EVERY blizzard character in it

K brb gonna whip out mspaint

Nothing, and you can't remove it because there are a ton of people that don't want to play the game they just want to play a certain hero. Those people don't wake up and say "Oh I can't wait to play hots today" no they wake up and say "I can't wait play maiev today" you take away their ability to guarantee that they'll get to play that certain hero and you'll lose them as players.

>Mechastorm event

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

i did

i went the wrong way

The brawl is absolute ass. Who came up with this garbage?

>takes 4 minutes
>gives you 50 gold
>same amount when you lose a 30 minute game
hmmm....

what's an objectively good and fun hero not named Li Li?

the butcher

Tychus

Lucio

50? I'm only getting 20

As someone who just started playing. Fucking decent tutorial will do wonders. I'm still don't know what the fuck is happening in all maps except Cursed Hollow.

are you last?

>He's not /stimmin/

I meant from a gameplay standpoint, not an autistic grinding standpoint

20? What do you need 5 gold for?

The announcer literally tells you what to do in each map and there are giant flashing icons to tell you where to go

Without fucking with what makes it Quick Match? That'd be tricky.

I fite foh muh cuntrymen

Not to mention the map is described in the loading screen
NOT TO MENTION they have "battleground overviews" on the official hots youtube channel.
More advanced stuff such as lane rotations merc timings etc you learn by playing ud tl or hl.
But theres really no excuse for anyone not to grasp the basics of all the maps
