Where the FUCK is Imperius??

Thoughts?

is it F2P Hanzo week or what?

thrall's chain quest? it's trash anyway, take echo instead

Taz'dingo~

Is there a counter to shields other than Varian?

Follow up: could we restore our Executor to his former, non-40% glory if there only were more anti shield abilities?

>Other team throws at pick by not picking a healer
>Our kara decides he needs to go damage with three assassins picked on battlefield
>Game becomes an uphill climb instead of a 10 minute shit stomp.
Fucking why. Why is it so hard to think for people.

I love Lunara!

Hanzo had an anti-shield ability and it was deleted from the game due to how strong it was.

Kel'thuzad and Morales are the only other heroes with anti-shield talents.

kt chains talent damages shields

Varian.

>american reading comprehension

Read the post that one was replying to.

would be cute without the jew nose and teeth existing outside of her mouth

>her

>Actually reading the reply
>Not shoving yourself into a conversation
What a fucking pleb.

anything feminine is a female, zj canonically has a 4 foot cock so that's clearly not a male troll

>anything feminine is a female

Shields are hardly overperforming, it's invulnerabilities that are out of hand. Really don't think we need an overabundance of heroes that can counter tass and Zarya.

>anything feminine is a female

How can a single statement be both right and wrong like this?

The thing that my coffe and woman have in common is that both don't have a penis.

>play any non-blizzard game

hmmmmmmmmm

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

if hots had loli skins maybe i'd play it

bruh...

Winrates vs "meta" picks for raynor in hotdogs in master/diamond
>61%vs genji
>58.3% vs stitches
>57.7% vs muradin
>56.8% vs zul'jin

45.8% vs tracer... but [master league tracers], outside of that raynor jumps up to like a 54% winrate vs her

Jimmy is the cure for cancer. Get out there and give em some pepper. and dont let nobody fuck with your jukebox. Most of these are currently between 100-200 matches.

youtube.com/watch?v=agnbcNY7K0U

didn't he get a health nerf at one point
was it ever reverted

>valla, zul'jin, lunara
>meta
ehh

Also 55.4% vs sylvanas and 55.4% vs gul'dan at around 100 matches.

Valla is pretty meta, Lunara is also rather popular in dia/masters.
>health nerf
heroespatchnotes.com/hero/raynor.html
Back in january of 2016. He went from 1371 -> 1302 which was I think 2 months after the scaling changes (which also hit his HP kind of hard).

correlation is not causation

Go be retarded elsewhere.

>play murky regardless of comp
>report and block everyone at the start of the match
>have fun watching my team play like bronze5 and getting BTFO because nobody knows how to play with murky while i kill minions
heh nothing murloc, kiddos

Best version

go be bronzie elsewhere

Reminder that Tyrande is useless. If a Tryande is on your team remember that it is your responsibility to bully her.

Before I drop coin on the golden rocket, does it even look good in-game? I haven't seen anyone use it yet.

You can see what it looks like in brawl.

looks like shit, has the horse animation, is piss colored

>The player you are trying to whisper is not currently accepting messages from players not on their friends list

Valla was pretty meta*

She's still one of the more common data points that show up.

>Has a useless ability that "heals" him
>Never see it go off because any burst mage will delete him before it ever goes off
>His only winning match ups is vs tanks or other physical AA based heroes

Really makes you think hard on this one.

Her popularity in master is 20%. Genji, hanzo and greymane are all 70+.

oh no you can't fling insults at someone after a match because you're tilted, poor little you
grow up

Because hanzo is the new valla.

lol are you mad you can't reeee at him you salty little faggot ahahah

Li ming, Jaina and kael are AA heroes?
That "heal" can be talented to be activatable *and give armor* which works well against burst.

>go to pop D as stukov to save someone
>our stitches hooks me to "safety"
>the other person on our team dies because our stitches stunned me
fucking epic!

Oh they made that feature? I am getting tired of some fag whispering me random shit then blocking after they had their little fit.

>get out of a game
>somebody sends me a random wall of text
>go to replay with a "dude what"
>already blocked
like aight coo

I don't see it anywhere. We're you thinking of Strip Shields? That one gives him shields for hitting his chains.

PROTECTED BTW was a mistake. Worst thing ever in a moba.

Don't get me wrong, I love Tass, which is why I think he needs dealing with. I miss when he was good: right now he feels like either complete deadweight, or he's doing that bullshit combo with Tracer/occasionally-Greymane.

Zarya is fine balance wise, don't think she'd move too much given that most of the time I find I'd rather my shield take more damage.

>run out of HoTS-themed laughing images after 2

>Having to talent to actually be able to use a shit ability
LOL

just uninstalled this piece of shit game but I'll stay here to shitpost. great game love the win/loss being decided in draft because the matchmaker decided to give me sub 60IQ mexicans

it's never your fault is it?

Welcome to the game where people rage quit to because they are too good for league/dota and want to """""shitstomp""""" retards who are way below them but in reality they are just shit players.

It's not my fault when I get literal fucking braindead people who don't quality as human beings and can't understand basic gameplay even despite being told what to do. I don't mean to make it like I'm even good at the game, I was plat 2 this season but holy fucking shit I got sick of all the fucking morons. Literally will not miss this shitpile of a community and I've been playing for over a year now. Yeah some of the characters are fun and I like some of the maps but it's just not worth the fucking trouble of dealing with the human trash that plays it.

>Not dodging the hook

But icy veins said so XDDD its just game anyways bro ;;;;)

how many times are you going to post this

It still gets replies, so... probably forever.

This is literally the first time I've posted this because I finally got fucking fed up after a year of this shit. Is there some rabid quitposter that inhabits this general? I only come here every couple weeks to check for news and shitpost.

No, there are just a lot of similar posts regarding match quality in Platinum.

>I had to fill tank because I was last pick
This shit isn't fair, why don't I get my best role first pick when I'm highest skilled in the party and they are all FUCKING PLACEMENTS.

guess what kind of teammates i get after winning 10 times in a row
if your say competent, polite, safe, ready to listen, at least masters, can play maps, can play more than one role, see pings
then your guess is fucking wrong

If you are truly non-delusional about your skill level and believe you're better than anyone else, hover your strongest charas and tell your team you're not filling. Everytime I try to fill in Gold, 4/5 I get total bunga Assassins and Warriors, it's actually quite possible to win games with no Support/Warrior if the enemy team is bad enough

Meant to reply to

and if we were to say than in both your wins and losses, you played perfectly and were the reason for the wins, and the sole redeeming factor in the losses, we would be right

I mean, when I'm put as the ban leader of the group I understand I'm the highest ranked out of the group. So I understand that I must carry and do well out of the group because I'm the best performing. Actually I dread when I'm top MMR of the group because I know my team will be potatoes who can't do shit right because I'm on that border between competent players, and living potatoes.

Who is the next hero, /hots/? Is it my girl?

No

Monara

Baron Ünderbheit when?

new thread where?

Now show Li ming

so how do I do good with malfurion in qm? I tried the obvious thing of "q all your allies, moonfire enemies", but the heal goes over 20 seconds and moonfire doesn't give enough of an instant heal; my teammates just get bursted down as I'm moonfiring the enemies for piddling damage.

The reddit thread has most females riding it. Go check it out, friend.

good use of your root and heroic is what makes malf. for healing just dump Q on everyone and hope they arent too retarded

>its been 1 year since a specialist was added
Give me someone new to push lanes with already.

kelthuzad or mediv ?

mediv

We need more Warcraft heroes.

Agree

>ult is a town hall
>it spawns more peons
>they can all build and repair
>trait: building/repairing consumes "rest" instead of mana, must sleep to recover it
>tap trait again to blackjack him awake

sounds infuriating to play against

>Give the peon all the peasant abilities
Sounds great.

Might buy samuro, i want to play by the ult wich allows you to control your clones, is there any video i can look at to have a rough idea of what i am supposed to do while controlling copies?

>Another turret based hero
Yeah because gaz and probe are doing real well right now, why not have another DOA hero. Gaz is only marginally better because of good players who know to combo gravo bomb into stun mines which is almost an easy team win.
On top of that, they will never EVER give anyone else mule again unless they are about as useless as abathur on the field of combat.

>peon
>building towers or other stuff
>basically only prolonging games; M.U.L.E. - the hero
Sounds fun, in specialist-autistic sort of way, but Blizz will never do that. There's a reason they've removed that talent from almost everyone (Aba rework soonTM).

Why not both? Call the hero "the worker" and give it both a peon and peasant skin
>Yeah because gaz and probe are doing real well right now
They are sitting on some of the highest win rate in the game

samuro is boring if you have less than 120 apm and dont like 3 lane pushing my dude

>play league of legends
>get banned twice and get chat restricted
excuse me um?

>peon
>not overmind
warcraft was a mistake
