At least good for him, he bringed a lot of attention to the game with his animations.

OW has given thin slices of content that isn't even good so they lost a good amount of their hype. Doesn't help they are shilling their shitty esports despite ignoring balance issues.

I really lost interest when they started changing other modes to satisfy whining ranked players.Changing hero limit on QM was the beginning of the end for me

They have a game mode for it if you really loved it. Winston was a shitty hero in general but nobody realized this when there wasn't bunch of them hitting at the same time.

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

>Hotsbab can't handle mobility creep

She looks fun af. I'd play her but I am a support cuck. You must've been shitting bricks when they released Zoe. I like how they're bringing in op champions, then toning them down. Better than bringing in underpowered ones, and buffing them nonstop until they break the game.

Because HotS has original designed heroes too amirite. Yasuo isn't even played top lane a lot, unless it gets memed on in pro play. Which happened earlier this split, so many feeding Yasuos.

Nu league reworks are just new champions with an old name.

>The first three heroes they blatantly rip off are Tracer, Li Ming, and now Genji
Can you explain further?

Also, lets not forget them stealing hots 2.0 progression and then making it worse.
League has been on the decline for a while, and sadly it looks like it's going to die a slow death, but the company has no plans for a second game or anything like that... and games tend to at most when extremely well supported have a lifespan of about 12 years, maybe occasionally pushing to 15. The only real exceptions are the "too big to fail" games like WoW, and even then it's been on the decline for sometime but expansions occasionally freshen things up.

neat thanks

Everyone I know that plays LoL is always complaining about how it keeps getting worse and worse. But I don't think it'll ever die because of how much of its community has sunk cost fallacy at this point

I don't get the appeal from a spectator standpoint either. People always rave about LCS but its some of the most passive and boring play I've ever seen of any competitive event. I'd rather watch a game of soccer that ends 0-0 than that shit. I watched competitive hots for the first time with eastern clash and other than the draft/pool being complete trash, its genuinely fun to watch.

They really can't get away from everything revolving around flash.

Rework =/= New

Same.
In fact I had never played a game where you had to click to move but now it feels so natural

I got into watching dota and lol esports like 5 years ago, but they were generally boring asf, but I enjoyed the team fights. Hots you get a clash of teams damn near constantly. It's pretty easy to understand whats going on and it's intense.

Wrong. Look at what they did with urgot, or basically any other fucking rework.

good ol' shotgun knees

Calm before the Panda HOTStorm

Mobility creep has been a topic of discussion since Season 2 back in 2012, and in releasing this rework it's clear that Riot just doesn't give a fuck about people's concerns. Man if you're playing HotS you still know that Tracer and Genji are the two most hated heroes in this game by far. Sure it might look fun, but think of it from a perspective of how fun it'll be to play against (it won't be in the fucking slightest). I bet that Riven was having the time of her life as she got dashed through a million times without being to land anything. Garbage like this ruins games.

Riding momentum from last thread and also /v/ apparently

I want to marry and impregnate Jaina

This game would keep more players if they actually fixed their shitty engine and removed QM all together. They fucked up hard on the 2.0 release.

braided jaina skin when?

At least you can chat while loading and reconnecting, but ya they need to fix a bunch of shit still. Priority should be on the abuse of the reporting system.

Babysteps user
No all chat though, worthless bants doesn't add anything but salt in an already salty genre. I prefer sportsmanship over sassy angry virgins typing angrily at each other in from of 8 strangers.

Maybe a summoner/pusher category since zagara doesn't fit anything either. With multiclass being more common since these classes aren't mutually exclusive, like azmodan being both a mage and a summoner.

Fake retard KYS

>No all chat.
All chat would make this game a hundred times more enjoyable. I like being able to tell people they did a good job, or laughing at a really close call, regardless of the team they're on.

>I need to talk to the enemy team like a fucking retard
yeah, nobody wants to talk to you

I would be happy if they let you have full control of the AI or just give an option to remake a game if a player leaves at start then punishing the people who stuck around. That doesn't mean we should add a surrender option though.

>30 posters

Fuck off we all know the only reason all chat gets used is for shit like "lol report this guy" or "end mid I afk" and bullshit. If you are typing eve for one second on this game you are actively throwing or already dead or both.

Literally no reason to talk to the enemy besides bitching about your team and giving away your location. Of course the guy talking to the enemy will be praised by the enemy because they want them to throw.

I was trying to find robot crabs talents online cause for a moment i forgot this probius tier abomination that blizz have shit out is actually fenik himself..........

I don't know about Dota but in League all chat 95% of the time isn't used for anything even remotely positive.

The rare bit of sportsmanship is often misinterpreted as condescension or sarcasm which only makes things worse.

But what if people liked how he was? Or was he so bad that making him again was the only way to save him?

>try to whisper a guy after a game, the enemy, who did good
>this guy is not accepting whispers
feels bad man

sore losers (ie. dota and hots boys) just cannot stop talking about league. it's sad but it's a testament to how big league is. I don't even follow the game anymore (pirate man was just reworked) but apparently some people here still have league news in their feeds.

>take the bad ult
>doesn't use it right

Lol kill yourself retarded blizz fanboy. Only reason ppl wanted fenix is for badass last stand fight to the end and death mechanic. blzz at the time even said they wont release him cause of leoric. so. every1 waited for fenix with rebirth mechanic. why he doesnt have it its even in his fucking name? stuid shit. and his description and voice lines all mentioning how he reborn so wht??? hes just a retard robot crab, but fags like u like eat blizz mmm very tasty shit thx blizz more nice skin thx u for lootbox

I can't decide whether to buy Cassia or Zeratul

Zeratul seems like he would be fun to learn and worth struggling with for that one game I finally outplay someone and begin down the path of becoming korean. Also I really enjoy stealth assassins already and I would love to at Zeratul to my collection.

As for Cassia I didn't even like her that much until I got her a couple times in this week's brawl and we just clicked (something that didn't happen the various free weeks I tried her). That active talent at level 1 that makes her attacks splash to heroes and the blind for auto-attack dependent teams are really cool and I think with practice I could really come to enjoy her.

Please give me some advice friends, I am having trouble deciding and I only have 13k gold right now.

Not subtle enough garroshfag

>badass last stand fight
Didn't he die like a bitch both times?

They have it turned off because 99% percent of the time nobody really wants to praise, but instead insult you only to ignore you right after.

Fenix is known for DYING in SC so he could later become a dragoon, a big dick deal for heroes of the Protoss.

His one mission as a zealot didn't mean shit when the next 15 missions were him as a fucking dragoon you faggot.
