i use this word too often
So Lunara is 5/10 so meh it hurts.
Greymane possible 4/10.
Blizzard pls.

>>125710348
>bronze: the post
>>125710348
Greymane has 50% more HP than Lunara and actually moves faster than her most of the time and is more effective at waveclear and poke - his Q at 16 becomes an unavoidable enhanced Flamestrike and does very respectable damage throughout
oh boi the shits start again
>>125710348
is it already time to start shitposting about how vision is "totally useless"?
>>125710792
>more effective at poke.
Now you're talking straight out your ass, son.
It takes a lot of talents to get greymanes ranged damage good, and health pool aside he has almost no sustain.
Li Li is alright.
>>125711361
No, instead it's shitposting about how pisspoor Lunara's waveclear is, how awkward her movement is and how easy she is to kill
>>125711547
Throwing 800+ damage in a large area every 9 seconds is hardly poor poke, especially the speed at which the projective gets thrown. Also most assassins don't really have sustain unless they talent into First Aid, shield talents (ignoring KT's which is standard) or otherwise.
Also not like theres anything more reliable to talent Greymane into against most teams.
I like taking Jump against Zeratul and melee in general. It helps get you out of their dive easier. Zeratul might target you but he doesn't have the burst that he used to. If you Jump on him right as he's blinking you should jump over to him anyways, combined with your W slow he won't be able to get away unless he blows his VP, and VP for one Jump charge is a great trade. It's also good for bullying supports who aren't Tassadar or Uther.
I usually take vines against Nova so I can poke her out of stealth easier, hitting her with Q can be tough. Vines+range is really good at disrupting channeled objectives.
Overall Jump is more versatile while Vines is a lot easier to get value out of.

A cho'gall without an uther. A cho'gall on this map. You're going to destroy them.

Blue if you can win before 20. Then Red at 20 because Shadow Bolts stomps pubs and this is a "stand on the point to win" map.

CC chogall. No cleanse. Win immediately. Although they don't have giant killer so that might be a little tricky.

No problem. Figured someone should benefit from them rather than me just deleting them.
>>125711821
Most RANGED assassins don't really have sustain aside from first aid, which they almost all take as a mandatory talent. Melee characters on the other hand are heavily reliant on it and have it as a general rule cooked into their base kits. Tanks can and will tear his asshole open.
You're also highly overestimating the ease with which you can poke with (fully talented) flask. While it does hit in a large area, you either bean someone with it or it exploded at its max range. That's significantly more unweildy than your average poke ability.

ended up feeding. Should I have just hung back and waited for the enemy to engage us instead? Because they never really did, they just harassed our buildings 24/7. We didn't have a substantial level disadvantage at first either, but we just kept getting fucked by the rehgar heal + malf tranq combo on whatever I was killing because nobody committed to fights but me.
Did my team fuck me or did I fuck myself? I'm not good at the butcher yet
Should I play this game?
Are there any other SC marines other than Raynor?
Is there a qt Draenei character in this yet?

If you like assfaggots but don't like farming, sure.
Tychus is sort of a marine. The other terran units are a ghost, medic, and tank.
No
>>125717773
>Should I play this game?
If you feel like playing a dota-like with short matches, but no items and a talent system instead. It's very different from doto or LoL and less complex in most regards, but I still find it pretty fun. It's also free, although they're jewing people by making heroes cost gold that you get by playing the game or just paying 10 bucks (yes, per hero)

So no 50-90 minute clusterfucks then? Less salt too I'm assuming?
>>125720569
You get 7 free heroes a week to choose from.
You can then get each of those heroes to lvl 5 in a few games and get 500g
You get daily quests that give 300-800g.
You buy your favourite hero which is anywhere from 2-10k.
I've got every hero I like from playing <5 games a day.

I played League today. That game is so hollow. The characters have no personality, riot ran out of ideas so every new champion has thirty different mechanics that make no sense character wise and the game is buggy as fuck. They do nothing about it because they know they can, they don't have any real competition to force them to fix things. Death recap has been broken for years, the monetisation is downright jewish and the players don't know the meaning of the word teamwork.
The only champion in league that I enjoy playing is Sion, it's fun to be a big, slow, unkillable ball of cc, damage and testosterone. He's the last thing that makes me come back to that game. If heroes had a hero like him, I'd uninstall that piece of shit in a heartbeat.
I've spent so much money on league, quitting is pretty hard, knowing that all that money would be wasted.
Heroes of the Storm is a nice low stress alternative for me, picking a hero and queueing for some quick memes is nice.go ahead and call me a filthy casual for not wanting to touch hero league
It's so sad to see how much less popular this game is. Sure, Blizzard will never shut the servers down because it's Blizzard,but this game really deserves to be bigger. Not even Blizzard can throw huge amounts of money at a dead game.
Hold me /hotsg/, why are all the other mobas so shit?
End blog i guess
>>125720569
He means farming as in farming gold off of creeps. This game doesn't have gold. It gives you an ingame currency after each game that lets you buy heroes, though at an extremely slow rate (it takes 1 and a half years to buy every hero right now and we only have like 45) and they're incredibly expensive when buying with real money. 10 bucks a pop, as I said.
There's a free hero rotation though so it's not like you'll never get to play the ones you'll buy, that makes it slightly more bearable. It's still the most jewish system I've seen in any game of the genre.
>>125722056
>why are all the other mobas so shit?
It's a genre catered to the casuals. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that when the design goal is to appeal to as many normies as possible, the games turn out to be shit.
>>125722056
>spent so much, quitting is pretty hard
The crux of this games problems. The competition has millions and millions of deeply entrenched players with years invested
Like how does a new mmo compete with wowexcept with 5x player base
>>125722315
hopefully they keep the current sale pricing
>>125722056
>I've spent so much money on league, quitting is pretty hard, knowing that all that money would be wasted.
Don't really understand the sunk cost fallacy about a fucking MOBA, I mean if you were talking about something like an MMORPG where you built characters over the years, joined guilds, etc. then yeah I might understand a sense of attachment. But a fucking MOBA? If you don't have fun playing it anymore, just like... walk away? The amount of money spent is completely irrelevant.
>>125722056
>I played League today.
Fuck off nobody cares
>>125722431
HotS is aimed at casuals just as much as league if not more.
>>125722847
And it's as equally shit. Play whatever you want if you want half an hour of turning your brain off, but let's not elevate this game to some higher state because literally every normie can play and enjoy it
>>125722056
LOL isn't a mortgage. The only investment is mental, unless you've made friends there.
who /goodgoy/ here?
come on anon, you know you want dat sugarplump ass
>>125722847
kek, who are you kidding
league of legends removed a bunch of carryover mechanics from the WC3 days and streamlined the gameplay so that it would appeal to the more impatient people who want faster action and quickly gameplay
hots was designed to streamline that even further by removing last hitting, gold income, item purchases, you don't even have to back to upgrade your talents, and there's a fountain in each lane to help with sustain without you needing to purchase pots
hots is pretty fucking casual as it's a casual adaptation of what was already a casual modifcation
>>125722056

>>125722775
I've spent 4 years playing league, met cool people there, banged a chick I met in game, unlocked all the champions with the in gameand sometimes realcurrency. Sure, you don't play a character in thereanymore, but you still get attached to your account and memories related to it.

>>125723639
I still hope that extending the sale is some sort of a test so they can see if the increased sales generated by lower prices got them more income than the regular prices. There's no way they wouldn't make the sale permanent if it made them more money in the long run.

How do you use Hotslogs? It seems crazy inconsistent. Is it because I'm a sub-bronzie? It catches some games but not nearly anything I can use as a log.

for reference, there was a skin that recently game out, the arcade riven skin (?) that required you pay $20 for the RP to purchase it
the DJ Sona one also required $20 for the RP
it actually cost like $12, but you can't just buy that amount of RP, you buy them in $5, $10, $20, etc. chunks, so you have some leftover after each purchase
so you feel like you should keep spending until you're able to use up all your RP, "i have 450 RP left over, and there isn't anything i want at that range, so i'll buy $10 more RP and use the total to buy something else"

Ok so is it wrong to want to clear two siege camps before an objective(infernal shrines)?
They were definitely going to take two walls and possibly two forts if the fight when on long enough. I was the healer and no one wanted to defend so they all just team fought without me and got wiped. I pinged to defend 3 times and no one came.

>>125726854
Are you saying you wanted to clear camps so they would push for you, or the enemy had camps that were pushing into you at the same time the objective was out? If the first you're retarded, if the second it depends on the time and how far behind you are. Forts honestly don't mean that much past 10 minutes. The safe answer is stick with your team. If your team wants to go full retard you need to follow.

It's not an excuse for a system that forces you to spend more money than you want to spend to get things you want.
Like the recent "snowdown shop" that gives you discounts on 6 random skins. Sure you can get that skin 70% off and only spend 170 riot points but the lowest amount of riot points you can purchase is 400 or 440i forgotand there are no skins that cost less than 520 RP.

Yeah second. I just didn't want a 2 forts taken so early in the game so we could easily defend against a punisher. Guess I should've stuck with team but we still had 20 seconds to defend before the objective started and still no one wanted to defend didn't get it.

Works on BHB, Garden of terror and Sky temple mostly. You have to go full split push build for it to have any value so your play style has to change a lot. Won three games in a row today partially down to infest catapults since it will catch a lot of people out. As soon as you've taken one keep down to your split pushing you know you're pretty much going to win. In team fights since you don't have maw and will have battle momentum spam your abilities on one target like usual and with maps like infernal shrines it means you can just tunnel away and come back with full mana in a short amount of time.
>>125730709

>>125732509
Does this look like the face or mercy
>>125733137
Who in their right mind would build an Illidan comp at all?
>>125733357
Someone who's desperate to play Abathur without feeling like he's making the game 4v5
What build would you go with as Tyrande on Dragon Shire? Just had an enemy Tyrande go full owl build + battle momentum and she was putting out mad numbers
>play healer
>noone says thank you
yeah go fuck yourself too
>>125735461
Don't bring that /v/ faggotry here, I play healer pretty often and I don't ask people to tank me for my job
>>125735461
>>125735643
Funny enough I forgot the H, and while playing healer I do need people to Tank me so i can do my job
>>125735461
Just what just general needed, more meme posting low iq derp scrubs.
Been playing some matches and I'd like to show everyone what it looks like to play at the very bottom of MMR.
Here's my HotsLog: http://www.hotslogs.com/Player/MatchHistory?PlayerID=696891
Constructive criticism welcome.
>>125730939
Glad you could make it Arthas.
>>125736181
>look at the most recent game
>Lunara, Nazeebo and Demolitionist RoboGobo beating zero-button Uther, BFG Hammer and Skullcracker Muradin
My only question is if you're one of the players there how the fuck your MMR dropped so low.
>>125736283
I watch my tone with you, old man. I may be the prince, but you're still my superior as a paladin.
>>125736181
Not enough Chen.

Get some more proper heroes, especially ones that can carry shitters. Jaina, Zagara and playing more than one game of Raynor would be more than advisable.

who plays this shit hero without greater spell shield?
>>125736181
>600+ games
>sub 1K MMR
The fact you've literally only ever played seven heroes more than once is a blessing in disguise. Make a new account and start again, and if you're genuinely shit you'll end up at that MMR twice.
>>125736569
Shut your mouth, before I shut it for you!
>>125736537
As if you could forget.
Arthas, there's something about the plague I should know. ...Oh no, it's already begun. These people may look fine now, but it's only a matter of time before they turn into the Undead!
>>125737336
wow has pretty bad graphics holy shit
>>125731557
You can't really...except on battlefield. Its just for escaping in essence. If you have creep placed in the important places you can place another one in quick succession and start split pushing again. You can't place it in hidey holes like murky's eggs. So basically if I notice more than two off the map I place another hydralisk and play cautiously if I haven't taken all the structures I wanted yet. If I see a someone you basically have to just run because you'd normally be drained of mana by this point.
>>125737463
Yeah, Dota 2 is kinda ugly. But the fans are like m-muh artstyle so it's somehow okay.
>>125737602
YOU'RE kinda ugly
>Leave bottom lane because there's 2 healers and a warrior there

Why am I playing this shit game?
>>125738325
i-it's not like I think you're cute or a-anything....b-baka!
>My entire team goes bottom on Black Hearts Bay leaves me to soak two lanes.
>As Lunara.
They then complained about me not being bottom for sick ganks or something.
Where the FUCK is Maiev????
>>125738582
Maybe next year.
>>125738582
who?
>>125738450
>They then complained about me
Yeah I'd complain if I had a Lunara as a teammate too.
>>125738582
who?
>>125738819
It was quick match and it was when I was trying her out. Every game still has two of her.
>>125738582
who is Maiev?
>>125738714
>>125739056
>>125739212
I think he means Zeratul
>>125739196
I knew that, and it's perfectly fine you're testing stuff in QM. I was just being awkward on purpose because I can post anonymously and there's a live audience to play to.at least I'm honest!
>>125739703
suck my dick !!
climb that ladder anon!
>tfw you cover entire enemy team with sindragosa and wipe them all
i know army of the dead is better for tanking but i just cant not take the best looking spell in the game.
also
>tfw 36% winrate on arthas in HL
>>125739906
arthas is pretty bad
i'd rather have a good rexxar
every time i pick lunara i feel like i would be able to do so much more with raynor or valla or thrall or kt or jaina or w/e
>>125740002
>good Rexxars
>>125740097
i've found she's ok on the maps where there's a lot of ability to poke the enemy over objectives
cursed hollow seemed like her best map
Who /losingstreak/ here? Nine in a row for me, every game I've played since the patch. What's your tally?
>>125740189
>le rexxar is bad meme
every time I pick rexxar fags like you talk shit, until I subsequently carry you with most xp
>>125740405
There are good Rexxars anon, they're just really rare.
>>125740405
rexxar is not a hero everyone is good at so it's more likely than not a bad rexxar
>>125740002
im good at both, rexxar is kinda strange in a way that he does a lot of cc but the bear doesnt provide enough attention or something, and rexxar himself is just a bird spam bot, oh and there is this dumb antimerc/soloboss build that straight out loses the games.
R1 master league here
Rexxar is mid tier. I put him over ETC, Johanna, Stitches, and Chen.
>>125740624
I found this with Vikings. Legitimately any time any one has them, they're generally pretty decent players.
>>125740002
Arthas is great in gank comps and when you have another warrior. I wouldn't pick Arthas as a solo warrior just like I wouldn't pick Rexxar.
>>125739906
sindragosa + ring of frost best combo
arthas + jaina is extremely fun
>>125740696
i would pick kerrigan in gank comps with another warrior 100% of the time over arthas
>>125740696
The pub meta is so stupid right now. Double Warrior, with one as a DPS warrior and one as a durable warrior is almost the best for pub stomping. Obviously you want some healer too but the over all
2 Warrior
1 Healer
2 ranged DPS strat
basically is king. If the range DPS have something to zone players off healers then its even better, for example Valla has her Ultimate stun and Falstad has gust (though sometimes taking gust in a pub is a bad idea)
>>125741035
>(though sometimes taking gust in a pub is a bad idea
only if you're not very good at gusting
>>125740804
I would pick Arthas and Kerrigan together honestly. In a roaming team they clean up.
>>125740678
>Rexxar over ETC
>Rexxar over Johanna
What in the fuck? I agree with Stitches, and I agree with Chen if only because you can't counter Rexxar as easily, but still, what?
>>125741276
I wouldn't put Rexxar over Chen honestly. Scaling Changes really helped Chen. After 7 he becomes so good and with Panda Pals you can just jump on an enemy squishy and take them out of the fight.
>Win 3 games
send help
>>125741398
It depends on the enemy comp, really. I'd say Rexxar is probably better for a general purpose warrior, but as long as Chen doesn't have one of his big counters on the enemy team he's probably even, if not better.
Where is the Lunara trailer?
You're playing with a hammer who's built for AA damage and napalm, a basic poke build. Your allied Karqzim however is getting exceptionally angry with him because Hammer is engaging in open-lane teamfights in standard mode and poking, saying he should be seiging all the time. Hammer replies with the 25% splash isn't entirely reliable and it makes him a sitting duck, but the Kharazim won't have it and now your other two team-mates are joining in. Eventually the hammer player gets mobile seige at 16 and starts spending more time seiged up.
What do you do in this situation? Is the hammer right or wrong? What if the hammer has top siege and hero damage through this entire ordeal?
>>125741569
Made me chuckle, thanks for that
>THE HUNT IS ON
i usually top both hero dmg and tanking with arthas, tho in this match enemy was plain retarded, they didnt even pick a healer.
>>125741917
yet you can't get above 50% winrate on him :/
>>125741802
The hammer is absolutely right. If the Kharazim was from this general please post his battletag so we can avoid him.
>>125742132
i hope they'll give him some small buffs to make him somehow more survivable pre lvl 16/20
>>125741802
Never siege unless you have Z off CD (and maybe not even then) or your not in danger or getting jumped, the extra range and minor splash isn't worth it if you die, though using siege when you know you can cover your team and not get blow up is also needed.
Basically it comes down to what is happening moment to moment on when you want to, but odds are you're better off being able to move.
>>125741802
can't really siege up unless your team is better at protecting the tank than the enemy is at diving
>>125741802
ideally you should be fighting the enemy team at the edge of your Hammer's sieged range, letting her pop whoever's dumb enough to advance too far or dive her
>>125741802
Ignore team-mates do what you want. I'm not going to let some fag i'll never see again in a game I don't particularly care about tell me what to do.
>>125741802
He picked Hammer. Assume he's wrong and move on.
>>125742452
Ideally you utilize your 20% extra attack range and napalm to poke while staying mobile instead of hoping the other team is stupid enough to fight in your auto attack circle.
>>125742765
>what is Graduating Range
either they fight in your circle or lose whatever you're fighting over
What is the most well-rounded hero I can select for soloq QM? Someone that is good everywhere, all the time, on every map
>>125743006
Tyrande
>>125743006
tyrande
>>125743006
Tyrande or monk
both are adaptable to be damage or more support focused.
>>125743006
Kael'thas or Jaina.

>>125743006
Muradin - great damage, mighty CC, Ults that always help in team fights, fantastic health pool
A good Muradin player will carry his QM team to victory
A bad Muradin player will still help out but may die like, twice
>>125742864
>Sit in the back doing nothing for 15 seconds
sounds like a smart play i bet you have a very high winrate with hammer
are the teams playing on twitch tv/heroes_hype any good?
i dont follow this shit at all
GIVE EM SOME PEPPER
>>125743212
>>Valla has a moment of clarity
>>125743006
sonya and diablo
>>125743816
Both teams are good, but playing joke comps atm.
Have to listen to the stream on mute because I can't stand Gilly.
>>125744297
indeed :^)
>>125743006
This is Jimmy
>>125710071
Why does Jimmy never fight with his visor up
It looks cool and also makes sense considering it would actually like, protect from blinds and shit

he-hey man
>>125717646
Never engage as butcher. Youre not a suicide bomb like most people play him as. He can be very good in certain scenarios. His hardest counters are uther and muradin.
Basically what you want to do is wait for your team to engage, while you're skulking around in the bushes or somewhere out of vision preferably to the side of the main engagement. Then you charge a squishy, immediately chain them, autoattack then q then autoattack. Use your W when you're at about half hp. Remember that your Q resets your autoattack which is a big deal when you're hitting for 600.
