Where the FUCK is Maiev????
mah waifu
>>121611961
STILL NOT SOLVED AND ALMOST 4 HOURS
Cya everyone its been fun, but i'm going to play a real competitive game like dota 2. All Blizz cares about for this game is meme heroes and meme modes like arena.
>>121611961
HOURS LATER
Still waiting
will you guys calm the fuck down
some guy got stabbed so there were security issues
Stop the talk start the game ffs...
Where the FUCK is Li Li????
lunara is the cutest
>>121612390
Then just fucking say so instead of vague technical problems
Until then I will continue to shittalk
>>121612425
bothering her uncle back on Pandaira you sick fuck
or shes having fun training her water dragon haha
>>121612158
Unless you're a shitter you should be running double tank on most maps.
You pick him when you need disables (protip: web ult is where it's at) and already have a proper tanky peeler (muradin, johanna, etc)
>>121612315
To never use it to get in is a little silly. It's very true that you need to be extremely careful with blowing your one escape as one of the more squishy tanks, but it's sometimes the right choice to make da big playz
So we have two new assassins and a warrior? Will chaser be an assassin?
>>121612390
It's not because of that it's because of headphone issues you can see the tech crew running around with the fucking computers
>>121612570
She's my waifu
Did Sonya come up during the balance talks?
>>121612675
Cho is warrior Gall,Lunara, and Greyman are assassins. Tracer we have no idea.
>>121612570
I can't wait
>>121612425
probably tied up in some guy's basement, blindfolded, and crying
>>121612275
truly the greatest of the aspects
do we have a screenshot of fedora-kun?
Tyrande is the most fun hero
>>121610759
Alright cool. I assumed it was something like that. I was doing Relentless instead of Touch due to not like to being stunned long so I can go back to chugging.
4chan slow atm?
>>121612736
No, only buffs to Gazlowe, Tychus, Nova and nerfs to Uther. And going by the stuff they said as to why they're nerfing Uther (balanced in casual play but OP in comp), Sonya will be nerfed too.
>>121612870
god bless fedora-kun~
The 5 Minute Delay after a 2Hr Delay has now passed
xth for the Archlich soon probably maybe
>>121612870
Yeah, posted it last thread as well. This is him.
>>121612985
Yeah, seems slow.
Hand these casters some beers. I feel bad they gotta stand here and bullshit cause technical squad fucked up and is continuing to fuck up.
>>121613079
what are the gazlowe buffs?
HOLY FUCK ARE THEY STARTING OR IS THIS A RUSE?

Do they have chairs ? they seems to be standing up
It's happening!
>>121612841
I just want to hop around, jump over people and throw spears, why can't she be out on the 17th instead of Cho?
>>121613206
It was actually 3 hours.
>>121612925
Meant for
>>121612392
Also fuck the Street Sign Captchas. Did like 40 of them just to fucking post.
>>121613459
Nothing set in stone yet, one of the ideas they're tossing around is having all his turrets charge a lazer when's charging his lazer.
Are these still best of 3 or are they best of 5? Or would that like only be for the finals?
>ysera plebs
why so many gays itt?
>>121614207
Superior Dragons coming through
This is just....sad now. Why is it always Hots?
TIME FOR 3 HOUR BREAK HAHAHHA BEN BRODE
>>121614558
That's not chromie
why are hots fags saying 323 as if they know or play dota?
>>121613246
I want Varian and KelThuzad and the fire guy and Negromancer. Bomb gazlowe can go suck it.
Maybe they should add LAN. :D
MORE DELAYS
WHAT THE FUCK
Good match so far.
Is Diablo any good now?
Greymane when?
>>121614753
???anon ur dum
>>121614712
Her name is Chronormu, you foolish mortal
>>121615008
>Her
>normu
>>121614880
Diablo is decent. Good in group fights.
>>121615170
Ok thanks, just in time ^^
>That Zagara maw
Why are they streaming a bronze quick match?
>>121614880
Not really
>>121615397
Seriously. He knew no one was there.
This is how a Johanna feeds. They overextend thinking they're immortal then get popped.
>THAT HOLY GROUND INTO MAW ON MARCH OF THE BLACK KING
>Johanna runs past 18 coins to do literally nothing
>tfw Tyrael and Arthas better than Leoric and Johanna.
>pick tyrael
>win
How do people not see this?
>>121616000
>tfw there are people who unironically think you're not meant to focus the tank
>>121616274
>>121616000
Johanna played terribly.
so, tyrael banned next match ?
>>121612923
also best waifu
>>121616379
B-Bit you're suppose to focus healer first!
Malfurion confirmed best splitpusher in the game
>>121616340
Back when Kael first came out I said Tyrael is top tier
I said Holy Ground and Sanctification are godlike
I also said Sonya Tyrael is better than Jaina Kael
>Was called bronze
The losing team played like fucking russians. What the hell is this?
I really love the insight that Grubby gives using the Windows 10 Game DVR Replay.
>>121616340
I wish I could play him.
>>121616637
Tyrael's Sanctification was reworked. Sonya has been getting buffed each patch and they fixed a major bug with her.
The thing that's always held Tyrael back is the fact that you need to be coordinated to use him well. You aren't going to get that in HL or QM games.
>Tyrael and Arthas both died zero times.
But remember guys. They can't be tanks. Everyone underestimates Army of the Dead.
>>121616550
That's the truth
>>121617072
Only bronze retards think there's 2 best warriors. Double bruisers is equally as viable as double frontline but double frontline supports niche comps that involving players like hammer, morales, and the like.
So I noticed that the players had their team name as part of their screen names, and I was wondering: are those their own profiles with their own heroes unlocked, or does Blizzard give them "competitive" profiles with everything unlocked (or everything for their role,I guess)?
>>121616647
It's why Grubby is the best, along with Gilly. Grubby really shows you where they fucked up. Going back to save Jo was damn and allowed them to get Maw'd. And Valla and Slyv getting cornered by boss was even worse.
>>121617451
during the EU finals they hadn't these names, so i guess these accounts for blizzcon aren't theirs (or they made them change their btags names)
Na.Vi running the waifu only comp.
>>121616379
thanks nova
>>121617914
you jinxed it !
>>121618176
No, I think he's still right.
I want to fuck Diablo.
>>121618176
>implying Diablo isn't my waifu.
>>121618176
Um, Diablo is genderfluid??? Zhe can change genders??? Zhe can be a waifu??? You fuckboi???
What the fuck is with NaVi's Jo?
>>121618783
It's a different player this time anon.
>>121618783
Probably being forced to play Johanna because they're scared to let Dig have her and don't want to ban her. That or he's a waifu fag insisting on playing her every game. Depends on whether it's the player or the drafter who's a fucking idiot.
>>121618783
He plays like your typical slav.
>Johanna throwing another game
B-But I'm immortal!

Basically.
Hi guys, is this the competitive moba esports thread?
Wait, nevermind, it's hots. My fault.
>>121620771
called it, C9 v Dig
tracer confirmed

What the fuck else is there to talk about? You want to compare waifus? Complain about how you can't carry shitters in HL?

can't wait for Abathur + Cho'gall
I love carrying 2 people on my back
So why are Koreans only good in Games like LoL and HotS and fucking terrible in DotA 2?
>blonde bitch
Wellp, muted and closed.
Wait a second where is Zuna?

As they deserve as the best casters.
>>121621645
>hating Gilly
shit taste
>>121621591
They're not that good at hots. They're good at LoL because it's popular in Korea. They're good at starcraft because they've been playing it for 15 years. Playing a lot makes you good, go figure.
>>121621840
Zuna jobbed against DK even playing his husbando Zeratul
>>121622005
Hots just isn't popular in korean, if you are going to play a moba you play lol there.
>>121621774
Sheever is literally a goddess and the only female to ever be knowledgeable in a moba
where can I watch technical issues: the tournament?
>>121621591
Dota 2 is literally dead to them. Nobody plays it.
>Uther
>Mura
would they pick up Tyrande?
>>121622005
Korean's are good at games about individual skill, a game that forces objective based gameplay is poorly suited to them. You can't solo carry a competitive HotS game like you can LoL.
>>121622341
honestly surprised no one picked her yet
>>121622457
not any reason to
Scouting isn't really needed on this map
>rehgar
way to throw the first game c9
Okay /hotsg/, take your favorite support and make their "other" heroic viable, go.
>Rexxar
I have low expectations here
>>121622661
Brightwing
Both ults are good. Just depends on the situation.
Hohohohehehaha haha
>>121622661
>bloodlust
>not viable
>>121622457
Missed pretty good ganking potential with Arthas, uther, mura and tyrande.
>>121622661
The ults are fine, the problem is offensive ults on supports when teams require healing.
I'm extremely jealous of the HotS scene's blonde jewish goddess.
>>121622661
>Tyrande
>>121622661
Tyrande
Bother her ults are good
>>121622862
this family. They just need to nerf the shit out of every heal in the game or buff everyones health.
>>121622789
>>121622814
>>121622862
>>121622873
>>121622991
Okay you contrarian motherfuckers, pick your favorite hero who only has one "good" ult and bring the other one up to the same level. I'm trying to start some discussion here that isn't about esports.
>>121623097
That or they need to retweak the supports to be viable picks for more than just healing. Many supports now have some offensive talents but it doesn't make them powerful enough to be anywhere near an assassin or bruiser warrior.

The staff next to Arthas belongs to who?
c9 literally not capping top shrine
c9 have literally given them 2 free dragons. First Caffeine and now Idream. wtf?
>>121623707
Rehgar ults himself
everyone claps
>>121623295
uthers stun now lasts 1 second but silences for a 1 second after
>>121623667
Gall?
>>121623829
No reason to heal Leoric when he comes back so quickly. He was back before the team fight even ended.
>>121623667

>shouting obnoxiously loudly

why
>>121624164
I just googled an image search of every mage I could think of and didn't find it, might be teasing the D3 wizard?
>>121624164
dont think its khadgar's. i think his staff is a wooden raven. but i have no idea who this staff is in the picture
>>121624164
He wields Atiesh now and his old staff doesn't look like that.
>>121624460
I'd guess this.
>>121623667
http://www.wowhead.com/item=113857/staff-of-the-grand-imperator&bonus=0
Looks kind of like that. I've never seen the particular staff before.
>>121624460
could be gul'dans?
>>121624460
i can't really think of anything besides d3 wiz, but i would think a wand / focus combo is what they would get
>>121624364
>why
affirmative action
>>121623667
looks like an ogre staff
>>121624791
its definitely not guldan's
>>121624803
I would too, maybe somebody else? Does Kel'Thuzad use a staff?
>>121624606
I mean it even drops from Cho'gall in game, but Cho'gall doesn't carry a staff in HotS and I don't think he does in WoW either.
>>121624928
in hiss human form, yes. I don't remember him using a staff in WC3 or in WoW Might be a new hidden skin for Jaina?
>>121624928
no kt doesnt
i bet gilly would make an excellent mother
>>121624803
Medivh? Zoltun Kulle?
>>121624876
if it actually was cho'galls staff then they'd be playing 6v5 which isn't fair.
this baebel and gilly pair are on par with rivington in terms of nonsensical blabbering... and i kind of like it
Fan just threw the game.
>>121625470
Mentions of rivington trigger me, please keep such talk out of this general
>>121625128
They probably used it because it drops from him and having a fat ogre fist hovering there would look retarded.
>>121625427
Medivh would have Atiesh.
>>121625603
but then its 6v5.
>maw: the game
Holy fuck, this is like watching a bunch of pubs. Over extension after over extension.
>>121625847
Why isn't Zagara getting instabanned every game?
>that whiffed storm bolt
Do you think they had fun?
>>121625524
did he?
USA USA USA
>>121626129
Nah, the rest of the team bailed him out it seems.
>>121625586
you intimidated by his just-for-men gray?
his full but trimmed beard?
we could use a cute grill like gilly in the na lcs crew though
>>121625984
because other than maw, she's weak as fuck in lategame teamfights
What the fuck was the DK 10% HP Muradin thinking chasing? His healer was across the map with all other allies far too.

>VERSATILITY HAS NO PROBLEMS
>>121626369
german commentators say muradin was over aggressive all game long like using his E to cap a little faster against 3 instead of saving it to escape for example and other stuff.
>>121626707
they didn't respect the percent damage from leoric's W
Posted the staff picture because yesterday I saw the artwork but it wasn't mentioned anywhere despite mentioning tracer guns in the picture, thought about cho'gall but in the game they dont have it and would make a 6v5 brawl. also they either seem to have regular skin or master skin and no one has it in game. Not familiar with diablo gears
>>121626707
I seriously hope he's just choking under pressure and that's not his normal play. Worse than QM map awareness and lack of common sense has no place in the championship.
Alright you fucking shits.
Create a hero from any unit or monster in any of the Blizzard games
>Meat Wagon
>Specialist
>Trait: Dead Weight - Picks up bodies of fallen minions to use as ammo
[Q] Siege Slam - Ram the front of the Meat Wagon towards an enemy, dealing damage
[W] Aim\Disengage - Prep for launching payload
[E] Launch - Target an area to launch a single payload a far distance. Uses Ammo (Think of like Azmodan's b-ball dunk)
>Heroics:
[1] Death to the living!: Your payloads are now covered in corrosive plague for (x) seconds. Heroes hit with this will take damage over time for (x) seconds. This can spread to other enemies but not back to people who have been already afflicted for (x) seconds
[2] Raise Skeleton:
Drop 10 of your payloads to be raised as skeletons for 20 seconds. They can not be controlled but are very durable for pushing a lane
Autistic, I know

HOLY FUCK NEW META BOYS
ALL THIS MEMES.
All they had to do was pick Li Li and I would've blown my load
mother fucking murky, chen and memeslug
this game will be interesting
>pick shit meme heroes
>crowd cheers
Why is this a thing in all moba e-sport?
Fucking hell, haven't played since Butcher was released. The meta must have changed considerably if Chen and Sonya are being picked up in a pro match.

>>121611961
dont' know if anyone noticed, but 4/5 heroes for C9 can stay in lane and in tribute.
It's a sustain/stall/soak game for C9.

i'm not familiar with hots. is this some feed to win comp?
muh fish taco
>>121629164
C9 is focusing on creeps soaking up xp while wasting DK's time. It's not working.
this c9 draft is the kind of comp you get in quick meme and know you lose instantly
Can anybody explain to me what Leoric is doing besides feeding?
It's ogre, clown9 strikes again.
>>121629448
Nothing. This is one of the worst heroes drafts I've ever seen. They essentially gave DK a game for free. .
C9's just trolling. This entire game is just them taunting by saying they can throw a game and still win overall.
>>121628969
only needed a sustain tank/camp clearer. Our Tassadar AFKed because of the pick and MUH META, and we nearly won anyway.
Fuck off kek.
>>121629592
If I was the owner of C9, I would be fucking furious. but props to them for BMing our korean e-sports overlord.
>>121629592
nigga are you watching the same game as us
>>121629592
I was rooting for them but now I want them to lose.
did blizz pay them to throw a game to make the round last longer
>>121629592

Fuck off retard, I don't give a shit about that other player. You should be able to discern the fact that professional games don't operate in any way that even rank 1 HL games do.
I fucking hate this general when tournaments are going on. Bunch of bronze retards spouting dumb shit.
