go fenix, and zap to the extreme!

better teammates.

Mephisto support. Aidan warrior. Belial specialist. Duriel bruiser.

Sombra. Mccree. Doomfist.

Sombra is anti-carry and her silence shuts down a lot of the mobility tools that people currently screech about. Mccree just has an easy kit translation and who wouldn't want to have a BAMF on their team. Doomfist is basically an assassin version of diablo.

Mephisto could have some like, hate shroud thing where he creates patches of fog that act as sight blockers, otherwise functions like a reverse auriel I guess heals based on doing damage. No idea what aidan would have for a kit. Belials primary function would be to create illusory versions of heroes, stealthing allies and generally fucking around with how people see the map. Duriel is a living battering ram.

At this point I want better QoL features like QM/TL rework, proper report system and etc. New heroes are fine, but too many systems in this game need an overhaul.

>hyper mobile ranged valeera
Not only never, but never ever

I will! Thank you Adun!

She wouldn't be able to move and shoot. Her trait would be seeing and dealing bonus damage to targets under 40% in a small area around her. Machine pistol probably would function like tracers guns though

Stealth would have a long cooldown, as would her teleporter. And unlike valeera she'd be extremely squish.

The afk timer reduced and set to permanently kick a person if they afk 3 times.

QM changes when?

Whoo. When are we gonna find out how they nerfed him? I didn’t play PTR but everyone saying he is crazy busted.

Map updates.

No idea. He may not even be nerfed from ptr to live because ptr is mostly about making sure the game doesn't fucking break.

If he isn't he's going to need several nerf cycles. He is *absurdly* good in an absolute bullshit manner.

Tomorrow at 14:00 GMT.

you accidentally a whole word.

Try a real protoss instead

Next week is PAX so expect announcements then.

Reminder that one of the guys that will be on stage at the event said on an podcast "It's Blizzcon level stuff" and not just a hero announcement so get you hype up.

We both have pit lord though

How come there aren't any Warcraft themed maps?

inb4 all the generic fantasy maps are warcraft maps

But that's not zeratul

Is there a pyroblast build for Kael?

Phoenix seems too good though since that zoning power.

>2015 2 Diablo maps
>2016 2 Starcraft maps
>2017 2 Overwatch maps
>2028 ???
Hmm

hots shutdown announced at pax, also a dead convention

If the enemy has no protected or invulnerable heroes and a squishy carry then take pyro, just means someone dies every time you cast it.

yeah, here's the build. all your normal talents, except you pick pyro instead of phoenix. it's extremely niche pick because most meta heroes can dodge or outright block it.

>2 destiny maps

maybe the PAX announcement will be for some new Diablo heroes

maybe Diablokids will stop screaming if they get a couple heroes off the List of Minor Diablo Villains No One Cares About

I use the fire leather one with Butcher’s iron thing. And I use the White+Gold spandex outfit with the Golden Lunar Rooster.

Any of the Celestial mounts probably work well with black leather mommy.

can't believe this...peasant...picked anything other than support. tch...he should know his place.

any waifushitter should be gassed, including you, fag.

Bwfags (just one and it's you) are just as bad

Do you really expect a level 11 person to be able to draft either for your own team or against the enemy?

I was just shitposting but to be honest it sounds like you think people who are literal new players should be forced into support for their first 200 games or something and I just want you to know you're a fucking dipshit

Nobody thinks they should be forced to support, but being grouped with a new player is also retarded. Make new shitters play with each other.

Johannaposters are the best. Brightwings are okay too though. gas garroshposters gas faggotposters permaban trannyposters

what is the deal with this?

did someone said butcherlisk?

Don’t worry, the enemy team is also probably going “holy shit, they have an level 11 on their team. If we lose this, we’re fucking garbage”.

I get the game isn’t big enough to find proper matches for new players, but it is jarring to play with and against people who are 1-2 days into the game.

where do my kind fit into this?

K-Pop

Favorites is really just there for you to quickly pick out your desired heroes in a pinch in draft, you only have 30 seconds. It would be nice if the profiles showed others' favorites, but I guess the devs feel that's what most play should represent, but it doesn't.

Into the gas chamber with the rest of the waifu posters. They're just very annoying and add nothing of value to the thread.

I would gobble d.va's ass up in a second. 1000% serious tongue in butthole full rimming. she'd need to be gagged though.

Draft is a meme at lower leagues anyways. And if they are paired with level 11 account player they are probably not that good. Also, how do you expect him to learn drafting without actually playing draft modes?

Could be another match making problem though. Alive game, not enough players for a proper balanced matches.

So someone said Tomb is one of Garrosh’s best maps last thread. I don’t get it though, he has no waveclear unless you take that one talent (which as far as I know you aren’t supposed to do).

I bought Garrosh yesterday and want to get good enough to know when to play him in HL (I’m Plat, so I don’t need to master him, but I don’t want to be the reason we lose).

What’s weird about Garrosh is I almost always feel as though we’re winning or basically winning, even if we’re not. This can be a problem.

I just want to blame the match coordinator, really.

fenix is tomorrow right

Well, I hope you weren't thinking about wave clear when you selected garrosh. That's not what he does. With all the walls and tight spots on Tomb you throw people into inescapable situations basically the whole game. Regarding the rush of victory, that's just the side effect of playing Garrosh.

Tomb is good because it's small and has a lot of chokes that garrosh can fuck people over with.

It's okay! I carried as Tyrande with my great positioning with that stealth speed boost and a 3 man long range stun with my E!

Well, sure, but when picking a tank (he can solo tank, right?) certainly something like Blaze or Johanna would make more sense on Tomb? I can see what you mean about the geometry though. I guess Nukes would be his worst map then? He’s kind of like Diablo in that regard, right?

And yeah, I just need to be more mindful about my tunnel vision. I swear, half my losses are due to that. Especially with diablo.

this was the cringiest fucking shit that ever happened in wow and the fact that people unironically love it says volumes about the horde playerbase

this is the nu horde.

Attached: cucked.png (1566x793, 1.41M)

Do Tyrande players have a shortcut for alt-q in order to do it while constantly AAing? Because that seems basically necessary to be an okay Tyrande.

I once had a Tyrande heal me through something I definitely should’ve died to, which means that they had to be hitting every AA and every Q, which is unprecedented in my shitter MMR. Supports fucking miss Malf Qs, let alone Tyrande’s stutterstepping-q shit.

literally why? her voice is cute

Dunno I just kept A attacking while moving and using it on cd on my dva

I sometimes feel bad rating a stomp as 5 stars, because the enemy team is clearly a gaggle of geese that wandered into a Best Buy.

>Well, sure, but when picking a tank (he can solo tank, right?) certainly something like Blaze or Johanna would make more sense on Tomb?

Not really. Those are good picks on tomb because they supplement with waveclear. When you pick Garrosh you're looking to set your team up with picks. Hell sometimes on tomb you can get away with stupid shit like D.va + Leoric + Taste for Blood azmodan because those two help azmo stack absurdly fast.

Warhead junction isn't *too* bad for garrosh actually, because despite the poor waveclear he has, he does have pretty fucking good 1v1 potential and it's very difficult to outright kill him without a ton of % damage. Self-sustain and 1v1 potential are arguably the most important aspects of warhead, with map rotation and then waveclear being emphasized, though some picks like zagara if you can bully an enemy hero and control the waves don't really 'need' sustain.

I guarantee I was better than you when I was level 11. On the other end of the spectrum you find level 1k+ dogshit players. Same in every fucking game. You can't grind out an increase in iq.

he can solo tank, sure, though there may be better solos, however you need to be on your game about zoning and threatening the enemy without getting poked to death as garrosh. his effectiveness is also reliant on your team being able to do something with your throws too. if they never follow up or are in position for a toss, then not much gets accomplished.

It's not her voice that's annoying, its the constant memeshit she spouts. and girls deserve gags and buttplugs anyways. Should literally be a uniform. Stockings, ballgag and buttplug.

So, what are bad maps for him? What are bad times to pick him?

I get that good players can get away with practically anything on practically any map, but I’d rather bend the odds in my favor rather than relying on my brain not falling out halfway through the match.

Garrosh works on every map desu. So long as your team can click whoever you throw or you are wise enough with your those and engage positions he's solid eveywhere.
