Find the ones you enjoy playing and buy those. Don't buy cheap heroes just to get into Hero League, it's not worth rushing into.

RIP in peace
first for REHGAR
I've got a super hard weiner right now
When will Garrosh be in the game and change the meta with his Mortal Strike?
>>122580828
In that case her looks may deceive, she's actually very fun and cute.
>>122580960
Next year as the equivalent of everyone's favorite, Captain Blackheart,, but on a canyon map, featuring shit actually in the way of your camera and you only get a silhouette of those you can "see."

PATCH UP
Tyrande is the most fun to play hero in the game by far, also the most cute.
GAME IS RUNNING
>Cho'Gall is out

Ask again in 2 hours.
>2k mmr Zagara

Does anyone want to be a sweetie and give me Cho-Boy when I get off work at 16:00 EST?

wtb chogall buddy
>Didn't randomly get cho'gall
I dont know what I expected
WHERE CHOGALL
>>122581497
Do you get it randomly? I thought it was only for people who were at blizzcon/bought the virtual ticket
>>122581561
Some players are randomly seeded to get him.
Anyone who owns Chogall want to queue some? hiddencat#1610 NA just hmu senpai
>>122581497
>I don't know what I expected.
Pretty much this. It's like opening the refrigerator knowing you don't have food but still do it.
>have to win 2 games
hahaha, that could take all day with /vg/. Even if I had him I wouldn't play here.
Is US maintenance done? Can anyone check kharazim price in store?
>>122581891
Just do beginner AI games.
Do we know the actual number of players getting seeded with Cho'Gall? Is it in the thousands?
that screen tho
>>122581903
10k. It got insta-fixed in EU and was never bugged in NA
Looking for chogall buddy on NA.
>>122581184
I'm holding out hope that the system changes will actually help him, but I'm also not holding my breath.
Hopefully he gets the Sonya treatment and gets buffed.
>>122581975
there goes my dream of blizzard doing something nice
has anyone played cho'gall yet? how does he play? is he any good?
>can't play until after work
>>122581963
>Jaina 4k out of nowhere
price cuts seem like they are going to be more frequent if they are going to do this
expected kerrigan or thrall
>>122581903
5k in us for a few seconds
shop has only been up a few minutes for me
>>122581821
Oh god the cancer has started :(
>kharazim at 5k
I want Cho'Gall to fuck me in the ass with his double headed dick.
>>122582425
Just one shaft though.
game queues up US
Can I buy the skin and get cho'gall?
>?????????????
LOL
so what happens if abathur clones cho'gall?
So what do you thi nk about chogall?
>>122582743
Was him carrying a horse around not his actual mount? That's upsetting.
>>122582821
Depends. Did he clone Cho or Gall?
>>122582821
you clone a copy of the one that moves, the attached head doesn't do anything
>>122582873
You have to select it in the mount menu.
>>122582907
wait, you can choose!?
>>122582873
it is, you get to choose wether you want to ride the horse or to carry it on your shoulder
>>122582821
he grows a new head on chogall
>>122581497
why are you freaking out? in no more than two weeks it will be impossible to even give the chogall away because everyone wants 2k gold so everyone will have him
>>122582994
i'm surprised the event is going for 2 whole weeks, but yeah, after a few days i imagine most people will have him.
>>122582970
THANK GOD
>>122582994
So you're telling me that if I wait a week, I'll be more in demand than people giving cho'gall out?
>>122582994
But if I wait until then, I'll have no one to give aids to.
>>122583204
yes in couple of weeks people will be begging noobs to take their chogul up their ass.
In fact, i about a month you will likely have to create 4 fake accounts to get the 2k gold
>>122582584
They wont accept your money.
>>122583330
The 2k gold thing is just for this two-week event.
>>122583861
Two month.
>>122583861
got a source on that son?
so... no Cho'Gall trailer yet?
>>122583296
That's the point - incentivize people to bring in new players for the sake of in game gold.
It's genious too. What better way to introduce someone to the game then by being the meme head.

>Champion skins only as a bundle
Is Blizzard getting progressively more greedy?
>>122584153
Cho'Gall is actually pretty good on 2 lane maps. Mediocre on 3 lane maps.
>>122584153
oh, thanks, totally missed it because I didn't see it on the launcher
I wish there was a hero who was controlled by 5 players, that would be tits
>>122584201
$10 heroes wasn't enough?

>>122584374
>qwop hero
>>122584374
Guy who babbled about the Hydra idea for a bit. It's a fucking retarded idea and would suck dick. Imagine 4 players yelling at you because you didn't position yourself perfectly.
The exception would be if the hero could be broken apart into portions.
Actually, if Blizz ever goes insane and makes a 3 man character, it could be the Vo7TR0N. The Mimiron bot thing. The head, body, and legs can break apart and recombine at will.
Come on guys I need chogall here.
>>122584201
>champion
STOP
>>122584595
That is fucking retarded.
>>122584201
The bundle would cost me like 15 bucks. I'd get Pajama Aba, Super Sonya, Judgement Uther and Viking Leoric.
Not a bad deal for me.
>>122585048
He means the championship bundle, idiot.
>>122584201
>champion
>>122584374
That sounds so fucking stupid.
>Watch pro dota
>one team winning because they keep getting double damage runes that have a 25% chance of spawning
yeah games like these really make missing dota hard
>>122585145
>championship
go back to lolg
I wish Blizz would add an option to not get new heros in your games.
I'd gladly take the extra time to not see this retarded broken ogre every game.

>Cho'gall
>Two players needed to control one hero
These guys laugh at the pathetic power of your memes.
>>122585284
I laugh at how worthless they are now.
>>122585220
>thinking that's why they're winning
>>122585284
I play TLV and cho'gall is its own form of difficulty. it requires realtime coordination with your battlebuddy. while no hero is likely as hard as TLV to play well, cho'gall will still be a fairly high skill cap hero due to the coordination required to play well.
>>122585284
>Gall spells is fun
>But stuck at the mercy of Cho'
Blizzard think their so clever
JFC, it's basically a double assasin with the HP of 1.75 tanks. Kill me now until this chomeme goes away
>Want to get Cho'gall
>Absolutely terrified of wasting the other guy's time by fucking up
Why couldn't it have just been two matches instead of two wins? Fucking hell.
>>122585431
you're right, it was the 2 fights where he had haste and dd
thanks, i almost forgot about that
Actually, yeah... How does Cho'Gall choose their upgrades in-game? Is it separate, vote until agree, or one is at the mercy of the other?
>>122585616
Just join AI.
>adding another literally who character
Thanks blizzard
>>122585780
If I didn't think you were trolling I would be so mad right now.
>>122585775
Oh shit, you're right.
Thanks m8
>>122584201
What's special about it?
>>122585772
Cho and Gall have separate skills and talents
Guys I think Nova might be back. She can do insane burst again.
>>122586580
Enjoy getting focused on, dying in a second, then losing all your ability power stacks that amde you have a good burst in the first place.I'm shitposting but I'm worried this will probably end up being the case and she'll still be shit.
Can anyone give me chogall?
Tyrone#1201
Chogall is crazy fun.
>>122586580
what do you mean? i main nova since forever and i can burst just fine even without the patch
>>122586763
I just played a game where I bursted Raynor down to nothing before his heal went off. I even did sizable damage to Cho'Gall.
I don't know how good she's going to be, but she has her good burst back and has it throughout the game now because of scaling changes.
>>122587027
She was garbage before the changes.
m-maybe the vikings are going to be stronger to compensate for being useless now?
>>122587318
They would have to rework the hero and honestly they are such a niche pick they probably won't bother.
I'm looking to unlock Cho'Gall.
ID: TheDickens#1746
>>122587294
that not true, you just don't know how to play her
>Stitches has received additional facial animation polish
Did they mean Arthas?
>>122587318
>Vikings
>have one of the highest win rates in the game
>useless
Maybe you just need to git gud, anon.
>>122587492
Then the rest of the world doesn't as well because every one had her in Gazlowe tier where picking her was actually hurting your team.
>>122587651
definitely this, nova plays are delusional trash.
you could make a smurf account where you played literally any other hero than nova and probably be up 1k mmr from where you are on your nova account. hell, even gazlowe has his maps where he isn't useless.
>>122587554
Yes that is because win rate isn't split into "win rate" and "carried by team" columns
>Leoric counters Cho'Gall.
Is there nothing the Bone King can't do?
>>122587836
If they were always carried, then their win rate would be much lower because they'd need to have more games where the majority of their team was better than the enemy, to make up for the fact that they're apparently useless.
Face it, the statistics work against you here.
>>122587804
Top lane Gazlowe on Blackheart's is always good. Especially if you are one of the early picks. Cause then it confuses the enemy and causes them to rework comp.
>>122587836
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This mother fucker right here is suppose to be god like with the new scaling changes. Anyone have a chance to play him yet?
>>122587919
he can't clear lanes
>>122587919
>Ragdoll isn't his bones flying around
What's the point of him being a skeleton if he doesn't fall apart when he dies?
>>122588034
You are joking right?
>pick valla and go giant killer to counter cho'gall
>anytime im within autoattack range of him I lose 60% of health from random aoe
alright this is silly
>>122587554
they also had a far stronger impact due to being able to gain huge level advantages and make a difference by being good enough to tackle enemies themselves if they managed to gain a sufficient advantage
>>122588000
I'll give him a shot. I'm just playing a bunch of heroes I've wanted to see how they are changed by the scaling changes.
>>122587919
>can tank well
>capable of dealing good damage
>has an escape
>drains life from foes
>can help set up ulti combos for his team
>inherently broken respawn mechanic
Only thing he can't do is be balanced tbqh smdh
>>122588087
he has 1 swing, that can't clear lanes, it only damage minions to like halfway, then he needs to hit each minion twice with his slow ass basic attack
>>122588197
ive heard thrall and butcher are OP with new changes but im at work and havent tried them out yet. Bonus points if you can post a webm or gif of them doing some burst
>>122588225
You want to see something funny. Spectral Leech on Cho'Gall.
Mfw CommanderShit's Uther spam got nerfed
I want Cho'Gall, but I don't want to play with the other head of some random. Fuck all this.

Feels a little better. Was able to burst a Raynor down healing and all withChain Lightning Buildbefore lvl 7. It was hard to tell because the game was 2 on 4. We had a Cho'Gall that was worthless and a Murky that had 5,000 hero damage.
>>122590058
Chain lightning build is his only true competitive build. Anyone who says otherwise is a low rank scrub.

ShareX is better, but takes a while to learn how to use properly and get it set up (you need dropbox or something similar for uploading videos, and an imgur account for gifs and stuff)
you can also just have it all saved to you hard drive and upload it yourself
>>122588947
I heard leoric got nerfed pretty hard in the new patch, can anyone confirm
>>122590920
Until you want your 2000 gold and queue with 2 other people over 4 games.
>>122590969
How is that "better" than a solution that takes the gif and uploads it for you all at once?
>This other more complicated thing that takes way longer to learn and use is somehow better than this other program that does everything instantly with no learning curve
>>122591051
Nah, its arguably a buff.
Drain hope now deals its damage consistently over the entire duration, instead of ramping up and dealing most of it at the end. its CD was also reduced by 1sec. Its overall damage was lowered by 5%.

WHY IS GALL BEST BOY
>>122595023
I don't love you.
I'm probably a shitter, but as a support I seem to be getting kek'd on more than usual.
It feels like I can't keep people topped off no matter how much I heal or shield, this is especially true with meme'gall, who seems to get low and stay low till they either back or die.
I don't know what it is but I don't feel like I'm contributing shit anymore.
>>122592295
Would you?
>>122595250
what supports do you play brah
FOR YOU
>>122595370
Gazlowe
>>122595370
Mostly Well Kek'd and Lili.
Occasionally Malf, Tyrande, or Tass.
I'm my groups support bitch
>>122595250
What makes you think youre supposed to keep people topped off?
Just keep them alive and assist them with the kills, if they leave the fight with a small sliver of health and the enemy is dead you've done your job
>tfw you don't give a shit about cho'gall
>>122595573
I don't. I am only getting them for the free gold. I only really care about my delicious furries, Greymeme and Lunara.
>tfw gonna get meme ogre every game for a few days
that animation, though.
>>122595532
I mean topped off as in >50% when we have the opportunity for an objective or catch someone out of position.
>>122595715
I wonder if they have two massive dicks
>>122595874
You should never try to top off people as uther. Hes way to mana intensive. Just keep people from dying mid fight and youre good to go.
Has anyone attached Abathur to Cho'Gall, yet?
>>122596060
yeah, it's pretty much the same useless shit that abathur normally is
>>122596060
>3v5 every teamfight
>Prepare for trouble!
>And make it double!
>the name over the character is a combination of the two player names
Neat.
>>122596156
oh but don't worry, that 200 hp shield is going to totally save cho'gall when he gets bursted down by the entire enemy team.
>>122595874
If they dive into a teamfight with 30% health, thats not on you
It can be weird if you expect things to work like in WOW but supports in this game give sustain, they dont just heal people to full after they fucked up
As long as you look at it from that perspective you will learn how to play one
Currently giving Cho on NA.
Eluneislove#1707
I can't play for another hour becauseI am at work.
I am pretty hyped about playing cho'gall.

This is who you're lurking with. I wish the ban was longer.I'm thinking about leaving this board altogether.

Well found out that leveling cho and gall are different so you get 500g each for hitting level 5. That's pretty nice.
HORSEPANTS is literally lurking in this thread right now
>>122597072
i literally don't give a shit
>>122596741
>>122596925
Once I get him unlocked I am going to be playing side-by-side with someone. I'll probably cho and try to coach his gall, but we will try both to see which role I prefer. (I think my positioning is better than his, but who knows, the ogre mage might be the kind of hero that does good with crappy positioning)
