Is Chen still "if they have no stuns, you win"? Or has the meta and power creep even ruined that?
Austin Cook
He's feast or famine. If they have no stuns then you win, if they do, you lose. He's a lot like Illidan in that sense. The reason why he's not buffed to relevance is because when he's meta he's broken OP because his kit is so cancerous.

Hero searching on twitch when? LoL has it, Hearthstone has it, Overwatch has it, CS:GO has map searching. please give
Colton Williams
What do you mean?
Parker Taylor
Johanna loli is cute and fun and she tries her best to tank for you!
Dylan Carter
If you go to one of those games directories on twitch there's a drop down list where you can select a certain character and you'll just see streams with people playing the character you selected, or with CS:GO you'll only see matches played on the map you picked.
Aaron Nelson
That's a big blindfold.
Jason Morales
we're just not that big user. HGC is hitting 10k in views consistently and thats a pittance compared to lol

well, it is the first qualifiers where it's mostly filler teams duking it out while dignitas/fnatic/tempo storm sweep, but yeah hots has never been super big.
Connor Stewart
anyone complaining about the stale meta of pro hots and how only 20 heroes seem viable at the top should read this
at least we have like 4-5 supports to play around, not one

volskaya aint that bad. Its not so irredimably shit that it got banned from tourney play like blackheart's or haunted mines, or outright taken behind the shed like hanamura
I really wish the merc camps werent wet noodles though. That map has like, inverse push power
Tyler Gray
Monara when?
Zachary Foster
yes user, everyone knows overwatch is garbage and its pro scene is on life support even harder than SC2 at its worst. Hots is one of those rare cases where blizzard has to put effort to succeed and it didnt turn out bad at all, after some years of polish
Chase Cruz
1. token camps are boring 2. not enough bushes that block paths and allow for traps 3. conveyor belts move too fast 4. just plain ugly
Christopher Adams
>I really wish the merc camps werent wet noodles though. That map has like, inverse push power The main complaint about Volskaya was that the objective was too weak, leading teams to ignore it in favor of regular split pushing. And you want the mercs to be stronger. As far as I'm concerned, it's nice to have a map without a boss to throw.
Jacob Lopez
Does anyone wanna play with a silver noob boi (me)
Ryder Lopez
fresh hots sprays and emoji, maiev edition now with significantly better quality on animated sprays as well as separated emoji my.mixtape.moe/dugzdy.7z pass: blackthorne when
Blake Bailey
Just because there is a "safe meta" of like 20 heroes doesn't mean that most aren't viable. HGC has only been out for like 3 weeks and only 10 heroes haven't been picked out of 76.
>b-but they aren't picked every game Doesn't matter, most heroes that have under 10 games played this tourney have positive winrates. Heroes are niche in this game so it's working as intended.
People are overreacting as usual.
Landon Fisher

Christian Lee
Yes, the game is pretty well-balanced all things considered. It's a balance/design failure on OW to have 6 supports and only one being considered good and miles ahead of the rest.
Sebastian Taylor
CURSED LINK
Juan Phillips
about as cursed as you will be if uncle chen finds out about your li li folder
Austin Gutierrez
Thanks, man. I always appreciate your rips.
Evan Peterson
its probably a lot harder to balance an fps since mechanical skill is a more contributing factor, like when mcree was a sniper. But the overwatch team is (thankfully, since they dont bleed into hots) full of diversity hires that cant balance for shit
Elijah Cook
tfw ow gets neko kawaii d.va and hots gets azmodan tints
William Stewart
Tips for not having a negative winrate with Alex in QM?
Parker Gomez
you're welcome guy desu i'm really happy with how the emoji and animated sprays look now
Samuel Hughes
>in QM Might as well ask how to win a coin flip every time
Mason Bell
Don't go for E build, even in ranked.
James Campbell
Take your /pol/ somewhere else
Caleb Price
>tfw people below master, where Genji has a
Charles Miller
Stop playing her
Jayden Harris
is that the lunar pack only or every existing spray
Justin Fisher
BLACKTHORNE FUCKING WHEN!?
Joshua Cook
Popularity is still insanely high so player perception is skewed.
Benjamin Diaz
all sprays and all emoji that are within the game's files at this point in time, converted to common file types i completely redid my whole converting .dds files to .gif thing, so all animated sprays look significantly better now also, emoji are finally split up instead of just being piled up in emoji sheets
Ethan Wood
Shut the fuck up nigger
Christian Sanders
I bet you: - Place W right under teammates every time. Especially when they're overextended. - Take lots of poke damage while trying to get E stacks and then can't heal for shit - Pick Lifebinder - Don't know that dragon form is basically her best ult - Don't know that while in dragon form, flight has no cast time
Nolan Hall
I will if you can recall the great white man's Blizzard balance, where only 3 classes where viable in PVP.
Isaiah Morris
...
Brody Jenkins
Statistics are fairly meaningless for high ceiling high impact heroes like Genji. 20 bad genjis doesn't change the fact that one good genji will get 15 kills and just make the game unfun.
Caleb Walker
Who gives a fuck about WoW
Jordan Morris
Have you considering investing in Raynor?
Jayden Powell
>wowbabs begone
Oliver Hill
>have permanent -15 - -20 adjustment points for over 50 games be it on winning streaks or losing streaks is it a bug?
Austin Wood
>tfw you make a comeback with your meme team after losing all the game
holy shit this fucking game drained me
Brayden Martin
You're right, tell me instead of the great white man's Blizzard balance where Raynor, Thrall and Diablo was on every team and you won by pressing R.
Carson Brown
I want to know Murky's damage tanked.
Adam Adams
blizzard said fuck it this season and gave everyone a legendary chest so we dont complain
Josiah Clark
'zah, cold beer and HGC life doesn't get more comfy than this bros
Kevin Cook
>doubting /ourteam/
Logan Cook
tanked a lot, had kahuna at the end, him and me held the line on a 50% core like 3 times
David Gomez
Bottom pic is (was) accurate for WC3 Dota.
Levi Kelly
they said it's not but who knows maybe they're finally doing something about the rank inflation/distribution
Jordan Walker
damn even the women in the hots team can fuck your shit up
Dylan Mitchell
i know that feel
Daniel Diaz
Lmfao why is the LoL team so fucking big? They can't be serious with this shit. League is mobile game tier at best, there's no way they actually need all those people
Isaiah Taylor
I stopped picking E build. I place W's pretty far away, but they still manage to punish the circle.
And I didn't know that, but that explains why I sometimes managed to survive shit. Thanks.
Austin Edwards
they need a million community managers
Jack Perez
ring of frost or elemental? Seems like ring of frost is useless anyone with IQ higher than 1 easily dodges it
Logan Baker
>dat team
HOW, the other side got a balanced team
Charles Cox
usually elemental ring if your team can set you up for it or the enemy team just seems prone to clumping in chokepoint maps
Oliver Thompson
wow it's almost as if you can chain ring with CC so people are unable to dodge it
Daniel Thompson
i like frost elemental when they have a support that has problems disengaging like Ana, a good ring of frost win games though
Jason Perry
it was a hero league game, people just picked whatever
Isaac Walker
RoF needs a little setup but landing it on most nonwarriors means you 100-0 them. you can also use it extremely well for zoning, where they take a gamble retreating through RoF or re-engage your team.
Its mostly in your type of comp. If you feel your team has a lot of kill pressure RoF, if they dont and the fights are more sustained go for elemental
Aaron Lopez
draft spergout probably people make too big a deal about picks/comp
Jack Martinez

Isaac Fisher
viKANGZ remove one of the more punishing aspects of ToD: the 3 man split
Jonathan Sullivan
sulfuras smash or lava wave? Seems like smash is useless anyone with IQ higher than 1 easily dodges it
Jose Clark
depends
>Seems like smash is useless anyone with IQ higher than 1 easily dodges it hold it until somebody gets hit by cc bit harder to miss when they can't move
Christian Powell
– Have setup CC or against melee-heavy teams? Smash – Big map or against splitpush? Wave.
Liam James
>pick bw solo support >lose Brightwing is useless and shit.
Jason Perry
Did Zelot really expect to win with a draft that bad?
Jaxon Campbell

Camden Lee
>lo-rez has a low res image
Xavier Nelson
>Implying Bw was the issue You really think Tyrael can hold his own against a frontline that heavy? Li Ming is also a poor answer to Uther, they should have picked Gul'dan to melt the frontline or Chromie to nuke the backline
Jeremiah Ward
>Gul'dan against a stunlock team >Chromie nuking an inexistent backline
Jaxon Sanchez
I'm plat 1 NA and could draft smarter comps than those "pro" EU teams
