To me, allies. I require assistance.

PRotoss thread :)

next hero teaser when

Where the FUCK is Magatha???

2-3 hours

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

Hero league should be duo queue again.

gib Vashj pls blizz.

No it shouldn't

...

No fuck you that's called team league. Solo queue is solo queue.

I swear to god this is a picture of them holding both dicks

no, team league is for entire teams to stack and play in. HL would actually be somewhat tolerable if you had at least one person who is on the same page as you.

It fucking wouldn't for the other guys on the team, nor would it for anyone on another team who didn't have the same advantage. You want a team then join the team queue, otherwise solo queue by definition provides equal footing.

yeah the game feels super fair when i get plats on my team who think they are smarter than everyone else consistently as im trying to climb through master. better uphold that amazing experience.

...

Sucks to be you bro but I don't need to by trying to solo queue then have you and some friend of yours join either my team or the enemies and ruin my game. Now back to team league.

This pic is always worth a giggle.

...

Who could they announce that would make you quit ?

Probably more Overshot that's mobile and cancerous

deathwing as a map instead of a hero

If they don't make Deathwing a dragon all the time I have no hope left for this game

So, let’s say that Alex’s dragon form/Cho’gall sized is the upper limit to what Deathwing can be sized as. How do you balance that? Presumably they’d be a tank. Maybe give some spell armor to mitigate all the skill shots they’ll be taking?

How do you stop them from being bodyblocked or blocking in weird geometries?

whens
>blackthorne
>tomator
>fang and scorch
>rock'n'roll racer
>superman
>a decent lost vikings rework

Once voice-chat rolls out, ranked should be 1-5 groups and pairing people's mmr accordingly while giving groups a handicap like in CS.

How do we convince blizz to hear us instead of reddit?

The gem bundle skins came out from reddit

>protoss edition
WHERE THE FUCK ARE FEMALE PROTOSS!!
FUCKING WHEN??

I imagine Deathwing to be able to alter terrain or bypass it with his size. Give him a big chunk of armor or some kind of damage reduction effect not seen to help mitigate skillshot damage.

Ultimately I am not Blizzard so its not my job to make him work in game, but there's plenty that could do to make him work.

they used to
the game didn't do well
they ended up listening to plebbit
hots 2.0 happened
the game started doing well

they listen to the money

>Implying they don't

>handicap
No

>one hour till tease

which one is the one who got impregnated by kerrigan

Do they even have vaginas? No succ either...

>No "Ahhhh that's the stuff" line for blaze when he's stimmin it up.

raszagal was a slut tbqh

More comics

handicap in the mm algo not the game..

overshit heroes, I already quit but I came back

It's up

if its another overshit i ll just go back to finishing my backlog

>it's real
WHAT???

>us.battle.net/heroes/en/heroes/imperius/
Stop that.

post
>yfw Imperius gets announced as a Tyrael skin

Would you be content with that upper limit on size though? DW is more or less defined by being big, so he would have to be incredibly gimmicky to fulfill the player fantasy.

It is fun to spitball. Would you mind him being as gimmicky as Abathur or Murky?

>master
>getting plats in his game
Doubt

I don’t hate it. Straw one is actually good.

Bamboozled again

That wouldn't fix any of the issues, though.

Platinum last season, friendo. Have you played through low Master this season?

He'd need to be both big AND have earthshattering abilities

I want him to divide the map in half or something crazy. Whether or not he will be as niche as Abathur or not depends on how reliant he is on his team to do things which I can't image being the case.

>page x
Fucking teaser WHEN

its been an hour faggot. you lied.

>tfw another overshit hero

>winston

Well, it will be tough to be both really damaging and really disruptive. I don’t think they can make a big ole fucker squishy enough to be actually damaging. He’d have to be something like ETC or Anub where they are CC machines.

Sunder could be made more tanklike. That’s the problem with beefy guys. People want them to be assassins and tanks. And if he’s a tank, he’s team reliant.

10 grands for Imperius

Pay up loser

with the power of procrastination anything is possible

>no tease today

anything you say?

Why was I not informed that Uther is fun? Stunning nigger genjis and tracers for 3.25 seconds feels so good.

Do you get gold for every 5-levels milestone you reach on a hero or is it just level 5?

Every 5
So from 5 to 995

>Do you get gold for every 5-levels milestone you reach on a hero
yes

500 gold every 5
Bonus chest every 10
And then nobody cares about the taunts/emotes

you still can't learn japanese, it can't be done.
but otherwise you can do anything.

>get twitt notification for that

>more maiev nerfs
meh

Have to nerf every hero for the average redditor.

>Die Alone nerfed from 75% to 50% and minion healing reduced
Called it.

Interesting Xul changes.

as long as xul keeps the skeleton limit he will be forever incomplete

They increased his pvp power tho.

>Vault of the Wardens (Trait)
>Cooldown increased from 8 to 9 seconds

They really want us to play this garbage W build

>Additionally, we’ve implemented a voice silence penalty that’s separate from chat silence penalties. This means that players who are frequently reported for Abusive Voice can receive a voice silence, which will prevent them from speaking in team voice for the duration of that penalty.
>Abusive voice
So, if someone has particularly high-pitched voice or unpleasant accent? Or if he claims to be a girl or sounds like a dude.

>tfw voice chat in a ASSFAGGOTS game

I'll report anyone with open mics.
I don't want to hear their mother in the background and barking dogs with fan noises.

Going to immediately turn voice off, because I dont want to talk to any of you faggots and because my mic is busted.

There's already enough people who get irrationally angry about correct decisions, I don't need to hear subhumans screech about retarded shit like "hurr hur ur a fuggin raynor picker, raynor is unironically bad" (meanwhile 23k 8a 3d and 4x the hero damage of anyone else).

one of my friends who I play with on voice chat has a really small apartement and literally the loudest toilet flush ever
We always hope that the que is instant, or we'll have to listen to a jet engine starting in his room for like 5-8 minutes

It's off by default for everyone

Some things are set to auto-join by default. others are not.
