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.

Where the FUCK is Maiev????
second for memer's feet
Guys.
what the FUCK is essence?
>>135932746
golleged essenze :-DDDDDDD
ebin matchmaking, fun fact the other team is the fucking UW team in heroes of the dorm
>>135933215
that's why you don't play team league. it's dead. i got top 200 leaderboard and played like 100 games and almost all of them were against people with like 1-2k less MMR than us
Reposting my late blog from last thread sorry i know its annoying but
>mfw trying to climb to rank 1 from sub rank 20
this shit is basically just QM at this level
Mostly I just feel like no one at this level can fucking draft, and given that team comps in HOTS is so crucial not knowimg how to draft blows fucking games
Id say at sub rank 20 i get maybe 1 in 8 or 9 drafts that ill feel good about, the rest of them are full of first pick tassadars and raynors, people picking medic into greymane, people not being able to fill roles effectivley because they only own a handful of 2k and 4k gold heros, people still drafting sylvanas because they're fresh out of the cancer QM meta, etc etc etc, not to mention its pretty common that they have little notion of how to play and win games
Like it just sucks, because i do like HOTS, but it doesn't have that LoL or DOTA maximum efficiency meta where most of the gameflow has already been mapped out and you dont have to worry about your Jinx or Garen or whomever being rediculously out of position and trying to jungle or something just because everyone who plays LoL just knows that that's not what you're supposed to do when you play those champs
So for someone like me, who watches pro HOTS and shit and wants to be a full tryhard and take the game really seriously, theres like no fucking opprotunity to do that because at my rank, probably over 90% of the players are hypercasual and it makes it feel impossible to rank up, because every fucking game it feels like you have 1 or 2 complete fucking retards who are throwing
Where the FUCK is Superman????
XTH FOR KINKY AND THE FROZEN THRONE!
>>135934185
The engine doesn't support Superman so they can't add him in
Where's Poochy?
>>135933654
Part of the problem is the amount of players in the system. In a standard matchmaking system, over enough games it will have a pretty good idea of how you stack up against MOST of the other players. It might not be 100% accurate in the exact spot, but it should know you're better than that guy that thinks gazlowe is hot shit, and worse than the pro that can land 100% of all his skillshots as lemming. The point is with not enough people, this type of differentiation is harder to pinpoint. If you look at LoL, it's a fairly accurate statement that everyone in bronze has no idea how to properly CS. By extension, the people in gold likely have an idea about it, but probably have room for improvement. With enough people in the system, there are distinct areas that you can tell where people stack up and are legitimately better/worse, but without that playerbase, you end up having silvers being matched up with plats not because they were queue'd together, but because there isn't anyone in between at that time queueing to take the spot.
I'm not saying this is the problem, I'm saying I wouldn't be surprised if this was part of the problem.
SALE THIS WEEK:
>Stitches
>Psycho Stitches
>Az'Guldan
>>135934995
5k exp contribution and probably dead for more than 5minutes, but look at his DAMAGE DEALT= Impressive STATS
I've realized why I dropped so much this weekend. I bought Kerrigan and I cant carry shitters with Kerrigan. Back to Super Sonya and Ching Chong Ming it is.
>>135934995
its qm who gives a shit
>>135935341
Way to point out the obvious
please tell me Slug is going on rotation this week. It's been six months.
>>135936017
I'm hoping for TLV, I liked playing them but I want to play them more before buying them.
>>135936017
wat? you've played for 6 months at this point you should've enough gold to buy him/her/it
>>135935298
Well yeah Kerrigan is really bad right now
>>135935298
>I cant carry shitters with Kerrigan
>carrying
>in Heroes
I hate people like you
>>135937024
>but if you pop your ult with a 2 minute cooldown and then sit in the enemy team for its entire duration while they ignore you, you get a whole 1000 point shield

ahh the good old days
How does Rexxar smells like?

>>135939929
THIS IS JIMMY
is piano uther good
or is it just
another
meme
>abby can take out all 3 keeps at 16
is this a meme? I dont see how you do with while the enemy team isnt retarded
>>135940325
>is the hero with 8 buttons to press actually good
no, it's just a meme, having 8 things to use in a teamfight is totally overhyped
desu you won't need them in your bronze games
>>135940503
man just fuck my ass
>>135940325
Piano Uther is good if you're in a team that knows what it's doing and you can trust in them to take advantage of shit you do like Shrink.
Otherwise, there's no need to waste your talents on extra buttons to press except Storm Shield.
>>135940501
>objective spawns at top of map, enemy team goes there
>you burrow to bottom and destroy everything in sight
>ulti if a fight starts
Aba fucking destroys late game, only reason he's below average is because his early game is complete dogshit
>>135940834
>you need people to take advantage of Shrink Ray
are you fucking retarded or what? just slap it on Thrall / Xul / Kerrigan / Tychus and laugh as they do shit damage
jesus fucking christ the posters here are getting worse every day
>>135941029
You need teammates who don't run away from team fights, even when Rhegar is shrunk.
I've seen it happen too many times.
>>135937147
To be even remotely viable Kerry need her shields to be permanent.
>>135940978
>X hero is good at Y if Ignored
no shit
Now add in your team can't fight 5v4 and win so they can counter you all objective and still win it.
Naga when?
>sonya keeps bitching that "we need to dive, they have better ranged than ours"
>muradin does exactly that
>instantly destroyed because we have fucking malfurion as a healer
>Malfurion: kt try pyroblast next time, easy safe kills
this game was fucking painful
>>135941174
>enemy team dives yours
better shrink rehgar for that ez kill xDDD
>>135933654
There's never any opportunity to be super tryhard because you can't voice chat. This game will never be played even remotely similarly in hero league as it is in tournaments.
They make a game completely dependent on teamwork, then don't include the only practical way to work with your team.
>>135941462
>X hero is good at Y if ignored
I never said anything about being ignored? If someone is forced to stay bottom then it's a 5v4 at objective so who gives a shit
>>135936017
>not buying slug ASAP for dat dere passive gold gain
He's made me about free 6000 gold just in game reward gold. Not including leveling, just from the 10g rewards.
guys,
how can those heroes be improved:
- Lunara
- Leoric
>>135942998
>Lunara's fine
>Leoric could get his Q damage and W damage back
>>135942998
Give Leoric some actual damage.
>>135942998
Switch Crippling Spores and Thornwood Vine, adjust for new placement. Crippling Spores becomes the Disable/Teamfight ult, Leaping Strike becomes the "i'm a faggot lol i kite u" ult, and her base kit doesn't feel like a huge piece of shit because she's an assassin with only one damage-dealing ability.
>>135942998
Leoric (these are all potential ideas not all intended to be used in conjunction)
-give him a 100hp shield (or whatever a balanced number is) when he casts w
-make w a targeted ability
-change a w talent to one that gives leoric more max HP permanently when he heals over 100%
-the upgrade of entomb now roots enemies instead of damaging them
-change March of the black King to something good. Like one of his attacks in d3 when he teleports to his target and swings with his mace. Maybe add a stun on on it. Targeted hero takes full stun and heroes caught in the aoe take half duration
>ETC and Morales premade on my team

Now that Li Ming does Sgt. Hammer's job better, how do we "fix" her?
>>135947264
reduct mana cost of her W and make blink 2 sec CD
>>135943053
This, I used to be able to kill chumps with Leoric.
>>135947546
>"hey guys, how do we fight this skeleman that has to sit on our faces to do damage?"
>"...sit on his face?"
and then leoric was nerf
PTR WHEN
>>135947490
I meant the fat tank girl, not the long rage mage
>>135947747
Pretty much, it was the same with Naz and I loved him too.
>oh hey how do we defeat this vodouman who has no escape if we get up in his face?
>...stay at range?
Then Nazeebo was nerf.
Do you goys play every day?
Sometimes I can play 5 games a row (mostly when I don't have time), at the weekend I have time, but don't want to play with the same 10 heroes over and over again. (Hero League)
Wonder if they ever get at least 80% of the heroes to be valid picks.
>>135948581
yeah, pretty much
i am also sick of this, Li Ming is basically in every game (I'm at 2900 MMR atm)
Rehgar too. I really wish they just fucking deleted that shitty mage. Her range and mobility is the most annoying shit in the game right now.
Why does everyone on /v/ always shit on Heroes of the Storm, even in discussions of other MOBAs, a genre which already gets a disproportionate amount of shit?
>>135947264
Faster attack animation un-sieged
Small speed buff when out of combat
Smaller hitbox somehow
>>135949020
it's /v/
they always shit on everything other than whatever
>Playing squishy assassin
>Never ever get a warrior, if I do it's trash like Arthas or Anub while enemy get Muradin or Jo
>Get warrior Q
>Play some Leoric
>double warrior every game, muradin/leoric jo/leoric etc/leoric
fuck off blizzard
>>135949020
>Blizzard
>pick up and play style gameplay that /v/ thinks is "casual"
Pretty much it.
>>135949020
because /v/ is the second most-Valvedroney website on the internet after r/PCMR
>>135949020
because /v/ thinks video games should be respectable rather than fun and have as high an entry bar as possible.and they want tity in everything so they're mad Jojo and Morales even exist.
>Diablo is not my most played anymore
>>135949648
don't forget how they randomly get boners for mundane games and hype them up to the point where they become super popular all over the internet
agario comes to mind
>>135937634
Illiteracy
Why is everyone having such a huge boner for Valla right now? Sure, she's better with every build except for the Multishot one, but Falstad is still better by far, Zagara should still be picked before her, and Raynor is still situationally a better pick.
I've been getting first pick Li Ming and Valla so many games, I'm sick of it. It's a weak as hell start to a draft imo.
>>135949290
>Play another game
>double warrior
what the fuck is this even about
>>135950306
>triple warrior/Zeratul/Sylvanas

>>135950870
Nova is Blizzard's poochy with Thrall and KT
>won 3 games in a row
>first game, enemies picked Cho'Gall and I counter picked Anub
>second game, the enemy Sonya was just walking into towers. All game.
>third game: enemy team had a late game comp but their retarded Valla gave up after losing the first two immortals (which of course did next to nothing). She started feeding and was away from all team fights.
Feels bad, man.
This can't be 2980 MMR. It just can't.
>>135950029
Probably just because she's 2k gold so people can get her for free pretty easily
I know she's supposed to be good in the hands of a really good player but im not sure at like sub rank 10 she's really all that valuable, but people see rank 1 streamers use her and think that that means they have a green light to constantly pick her in any and every situation
I own valla but i never play her, if I want to play a sustain AA based dps I'd go falstad or thrall or even lunara before valla just because she's so fucking dull to play
>>135951386
The HOTS toxicity is getting real dude
I just assume that 4 out of 5 games at this point is going to get thrown hard because some autistic 13 year old is going to see one of his teammates, like, cast an auto attack that he didnt like, and proceed to stop playing so he can blog about it in allied chat, then probably continue to argue about it in whispers after the game
>playing QM as Muradin, the god of warriors

LOL
>>135952406
Muradin always the best
Is there any reason to play Butcher instead of Graymane?
I feel that Graymane can achieve the same thing Butcher can, only faster and more reliably. He is also ranged, so he's much safer than Butcher will ever be.
>>135952602
thats not how you write Tyrande
>>135952970
Kill that thing with fire
>>135945276
good, only two heroes I need to grind to level 5
>>135952406

>>135952968
At least butcher has some form of sustain even though it get's shut down if your target steps 5 feet to the left. I honestly just love the Lambs ult and yelling incoherent gibberish/MEAT in chat
>enemy team: Tassadar, Diablo, Sonya, Thrall, Xul
>mfw I'm Graymane
>mfw enemies all dive in at once
>mfw I just jump on tassadar and kill him every teamfight
good draft boys
>those babbys on your team that cant handle the banter
why is this game full of angry 13 year olds?
>>135954163
Is Greymane any good?

>>135956529
> How's valla?
Worse then before, not bad but other heroes do her job better.
> Vikings still OP?
Much less so, second highest winrate but much less pickrate. They're far worse in teamfights but their XP gathering is still ridiculous.
> How's actually OP?
Xul counters alot of things but i wouldn't call him OP after his changes last week. Li Ming is still ridiculously powerfull and probably the closest hero to OP.
> Who should I spend my suprise 11k gold on?
Li ming or save for Dehaka who gets released in like a week.
>>135949734
WOW Tyrande is CUTE!
>>135956529

>>135956689
>tfw
>>135942998
His W is shit now, look at xul for example.
He literally uses Leoric's W for 4 seconds and blizzard thinks this is fine.
They should revert his nerfs, especially in his passive, he used to literally NEVER DIE because he got back up so fast.
What do you actually have to do to get silenced?
I have been a huge pain in the ass, when coming home from a night out&drunk and I have never even revived a warning, even so I singlehandedly lost games (when people pissed me off).
>>135959742
>Xul's W is life drain
but that's not true
>>135960019
>>135959742
I was talking about Leoric's Q, my bad.
>>135959742
But Leoric is old news now so blizzard doesn't care about his balance.
I'm sure once xul is old he will be in the same state as Leoric, sadly.
is Cho'Gall still decent?
Since it's free week I've been playing a lot of Anub'rak.
Why does beetle juiced activate after the animation and let half my beetles time out before it refreshes them? Is it really so OP to have 2-3 90 damage summons when Zul can have 6 out constantly? I mean they don't even work on mercenaries and by the time you push up to the fort they aggro the turrets and it's impossible to make more.

Will THE big patch come with Dehaka, or a month after him? I mean the shitload of new icons, Gazlowe and Tychus reworks, ARAM and quickcasts
>>135965793

>>135966705
good idea. gazlowe is too strong.
>>135966705
>>135966992
The cooldown on his laser will be increased, to add to the impact it can have on a team fight. Of course, to balance for this, its damage will be reduced by approximately ~20%.
>>135967160
I can see them increasing the lazer's cooldown, but don't be a smartass abaout it's damage. They're gonna increase it slightly, so it could destroy creep tumors when fully charged
>>135967298
How does a 2% increase in damage sound? I'm being generous, here.

>Aside from the new art and animations, one of the first things you’ll notice in the revamped draft lobby is the row of “favorites” we’ve added near the bottom of the screen, which will make it easier than ever to quickly find and select your top eight heroes ahead of each ranked game.
>Ranked play will use the “Mid Ban” method, which works in much the same way that bans do in official Heroes of the Storm tournaments. This method features two bans per team during each ranked draft: One round of bans before hero picks begin, and a second after three hero pick rounds have elapsed.
>we’ve upped the minimum requirement for ranked play from 10 to 14 heroes. Additionally, any Heroes that you’ve reached level 5 or higher with —including those on the Weekly Free-to-Play Rotation— will now count toward the minimum hero requirement, and can be selected for play during ranked games.
I sincerely hate logging in at around 12pm to see all the NEET Amerifats arguing about politics in general.
Fucking FUCKERS.
>>135967745
>We’ve also removed player level requirements from ranked play, meaning that you will no longer need to reach player level 30 in order to participate in Hero or Team League games.
WHY
>>135967917
They'll still have the hero limit for sure, so there's that at least. If you didn't drop any cash on heroes I don't think you could feasibly get 10 good heroes before level 30 anyway. With bans, the hero limit will probably go up, too.
>>135967817
>Additionally, any Heroes that you’ve reached level 5 or higher with —including those on the Weekly Free-to-Play Rotation— will now count toward the minimum hero requirement, and can be selected for play during ranked games.

Why bother buying heroes, again?
>>135967917
You need to own at least 14 heroes now, but see above.
>>135967917
>>135968236
>I don't think you could feasibly get 10 good heroes before level 30 anyway. With bans, the hero limit will probably go up, too.
Yes, it's pretty much the same thing. You need to own 14 level 5 heroes now.
So...
turns out blizz actually cares about hots? I am surprised.
>>135967817
So it looks like now they are using the 3D models for the portraits on the selection screen, and you see their skin on the selection screen
also this fantasy world where kerrigan is being picked, butcher and artanis are being banned.
>>135968483
>Why bother buying heroes, again?
quick memes where you can pick specifically who you want to play?
iono

I guess they got a lot more money from skins than heroes.
>>135968683
Bans, gaz and tychus reworks (most likely, but not 100% confirmed), Dehaka, and probably some miscellaneous balance changes. Bretty gud.>tfw want Grandmaster more than bans so I don't have to wait a month and a half to see if I got gud enough for top 200bans are fine too, though

They probably found out that new heroes generate a lot of money especially when they are op. So new heroes will probably be released very strong from now on, and won't go on free rotation until a month or so later so if you want the best heroes now you need to buy them for HL.
>Butcher banned
Early April Fool's, I see.
>>135968975
They also are adding the technology to select certain abilities for quick cast. An Illidan rework or some changes were hinted at from that as well. New icons too for a bunch of heroes.
>>135969368
Oh right, I completely forgot about that. I won't really have any use for it, but hey, it's great for the game.
>>135967817
Oh fuck is the game almost out of alpha?
>go into ranked
>some shitter bans x hero because he can't move out of aoe or a-moves to select which target to fight
>>135967817
>One round of bans before hero picks begin, and a second after three hero pick rounds have elapsed.
So if both teams don't ban xul and ching chong first ban then it's not assured. Well at least we have some form of banning now.
>we decided to reduce hero pick timers from 45 to 30 seconds so that you can get back to brawling in the Nexus as soon as possible.
This is terrible.
>>135969778
Yeah that's stupid. They should have them both at the start, but then I guess that would stop people from playing the new heroes in ranked a lot if they were strong. This at least gives them a better chance to pick them.
Ill literally kill myself if we dont win this.
>>135970279
oh lawdy
HOLY SHIT
>>135969858

New Heroic (R): Mind Control
After channeling for 1 second, gain control of an enemy Hero’s movement for 2.5 seconds
Dark Lady’s Call (Talent)
This Talent’s functionality has changed and now affects Mind Control
Now increases target’s Movement Speed by 100%
Is this fucking serious
Kerrigan is finally viable, amazing changes!
>>135971782

he always has been a knockoff Bloodseeker, anon
>>135971868
"benny hill theme starts playing"
>>135971782
All he has to do is collect 25 regen globes now to get mana barrier from level 1. He's going to be op as fuck after this rework.
>>135971216
0 times anything is still 0, mate
Holy SHIT they actually made Possession good.

if this is true this will be fucking great.
What about Gazlowe, is he good now?
Holy shit from what I'm reading, illidan looks insane now. I'll have to see what his talent tree looks like as a whole, but goddamn he has some really good talents now. I legit wouldn't be surprised if he goes fotm.

Ah yes, just like my dota bloodcykas.
>>135972658
oh shit
it's suddenly op as fuck
Looks like tychus will have more damage late game but will end up feeding more.
>>135972078
So KT gets
- baseline chain bomb
- level 1 he can start working towards arcane barrier
- more damage on Q
Meanwhile Jaina got fucked and lost all her defensives as a short range caster. I have no idea what they are thinking.
>>135973172
The arcane barrier and stacking flamestrike on on the same tier (level 1), so he can't get them both.
Dat chain bomb + pyromaniac tho.
>>135971868
Finally
>still no Arthas rework
They really did forget about him didn't they?
I think I've literally never played a game without a Li-Ming in since she came out
most of the time there's 2
will this ever end
>Jaina
>Bolt of the storm removed
>Ice block sent to 20 at lower duration and 1/3rd cooldown
So she was turned from fun flanking mage to literally worse KT. This is fucking bullshit, i was pissed off enough that they removed sprint. God fucking damnit.
>gazlowe got nerfed
>>135973685
who's Arthus?
>>135973685
Even if they do remember he will probably get the same treatment as kerrigan.
>>135971872
What did they mean by this?
>>135973875
>they actually did it
THE ABSOLUTE MADMEN
>implying blizzard isn't secretly browsing /hotsg/
>>135973875
If you pick Robogoblin you can press R to make turrets attack a specific target
I assume it works like targetting with the Water Elemental or Ultralisk
Did they use lube for Jaina's asshole?
>Tychus
>Minigun (Trait) (D)
>No longer requires wind-up
>Activate to cause Basic Attacks against Heroes to deal bonus damage equal to 1.5% of the target’s maximum Health. Lasts 3 seconds. 12 second cooldown
Holy shit this is actually insane. iirc Tychus does like 6 attacks per second fully spinned up (which is always now), which means he can take ~30% of a hero's health without even factoring in aa damage. And that's on a 12 second cooldown.
>>135974303
Yeah and in half that second you will get blown up by li ming.
Enjoy doing 15% of a heroes health each life.
>Sylvanas
