>I must leave, and I blame this failure upon you.>Yes, yesyesyes. I shall win your battle shortly.>Go, and tell the others of the Victory I have won here.>Is THIS the best healing you can do?>Ugh, I've had much better healers...
>>719415397I played him just for the bants
i played him because hes good at killing people
>>719415397I've noticed this game has a sort of little cult following on /v/Best memories i had of it was playing the time gnome who could nuke enemies
HOTS had the only good healer in all of video games.>YOU, FIGHT ME!>FEEL THE GROUND TREMBLE!>LIGHTNING SHATTER MY ENEMIES!
>>719415397>Save your breath, primate! Spare me from hearing your orifices flapBy pure coincidence he won't say that to qhira :^)
>Perhaps the correct talent this time? >If you wish to die, go here. >You can see this hero, yes? Then kill them!>Are you dead again? Oh. (mocking laugh) >Is your blood boiling? (chuckle) Good.
>I will hurt you now. >This will only hurt until you die! >I like happy things, like puppies and rainbows and... dead enemies.
>Unfortunately, I cannot let you die.
>>719416668i dont think people who dislike the lack of items are really considering how it enables characters like him to exist.
>>719419067Talents are the objectively superior system for balance.
I still wonder how the moba wars would have played out had HotS been released a few years earlier
>>719418367I love how HOTS lets Imperius vent his pent up rage on his incompetent coworkers and the diablo heroes.
>>719420625Hots has the worst disconnect system in all vidyaIt would've lost anyway
>>719421926I've had diamond games won by bots who ungabunga forts and keeps away from objectives
Blizzard support is already legendary for how bad it is but the HotS specific one is a level above, you quite literally can't talk to a human being and send a ticket for 99% of the possible issues and the webpage is designed to send you on a loop of categories suggesting other shit.Oh and if it's a problem that asks for you to "Verify" your identity it'll keep asking for data that literally doesn't exist and refuse support when you can't answer because again, the answers literally don't exist. (Info/dates/numbers on accounts and characters on games you don't even own, have launched or played in any shape or form)
>>719423459>you quite literally can't talk to a human beingThat has been the case for all Blizzard games for months now. ESLs are complaining that their responses are not only AI generated but also put through a shitty google translateRecently a WoWbuck reached out about some issue with [dungeon A]. The AI response was something like "I am very sorry about your issue with [dungeon A]. We are currently investigating an issue with said [dungeon B - hasn't been relevant for 2 years] and while working on it we suggest you run [dungeon C] again hoping your issue will resolve itself." It's extremely bad right now
>>719423459>>719423730They ask you to actually post your bills and utilities showing your full legal name, address and phone number if you want to change your country or region, by the way.
>>719423884Tell them you now live in the EU and it's illegal for them do demand that information

>>719424075lmao
>>719424279At least it's English
>>719417152god I wanna fuck brightwing while she giggles and gnaws on my shoulder
Alarak was cool, but wasn't he nerfed hard to a point where he was barely competing at peak efficiency despite being hard as balls anyways
>>719425191I dont remember thatBesides he just got a buff a month ago
>>719424402>Thanks for sending a ticket anon!>So I think what you should do for your problem is to send a ticket!The jokes write themselves
>>719425424It was while the game was getting its last few real content ypdates iirc, they just flat out hit him with like a 40% damage reduction across the board
>Hear a stupid cackle>A guillotine falls from the sky to do 70 percent of your health and the guy next to youYour move, mon?
>>719415397>dominate the fight until this crab-pincer mofo deletes my team in one combo from off screenim not even mad, he is glorious
>>719425984https://heroespatchnotes.com/hero/alarak.htmlthere's nothing like that herethe closest is nerfing the stacking E talent from 5% to 4%, which they undid 3 years ago
>>719415397I love that Alarak was just Q being even more of a conceited asshole while being voiced by Q.
>>719415397>MMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmacceptable
>>719416668this is how all orcs act like and /v/ hates them
>>719426540It's not their attitude that makes them detestable, it's the shit-encrusted mud hut shantytown they call their capital, and the Horde's general insufferability.t. Rehgar main
>>719426489he's not really like Q at all save the voice and arroganceQ is more playful and a trickster for the fun of itAlarak is ambitious and unscrupulous, scheming on how to exploit others to gain power
>>719426631orcs haven't made mud huts in decades
>>719426631How do people enjoy Rehgae, he feels pitiful and useless with his tiny hits and heals I know that his stuff are actually useful but he's weirdly unsatisfying and I really like shammies
>>719426631I like yurts and the old turk/mongol aesthetics though :(
>>719426849How can you say he feels pitiful? One singular 13 talent makes him one of the strongest throughput healers, even moreso if you go pit fighter at 20, you can spam obnoxious CC if you build totem, and have great poke for a melee (or for a healer) with wolf form, great at joining a bruiser or melee assassin on an aggressive play. just keep hitting that z button and clicking >>719426954the turks and mongols didn't construct their cities out of fecal matter. the mongols didn't really construct cities to begin with, but if you want mongols, centaurs are your thing in WoW, not orcs. of course, the centaurs of wow are also disgusting and flea-ridden and probably stink nearly as bad as orgrimmar does, and the men are indistinguishable from the women, just like with the orcs and their "women"
>>719427109>the turks and mongols didn't construct their cities out of fecal matter. the mongols didn't really construct cities to begin with, but if you want mongols, centaurs are your thing in WoWYes snon they had yurts instead just like them since the rts games instead of this weird made up mud hut argument you are making
>>719427109He doesn't do anything until level thirteen though
>>719427354>Made upJust go to Orgrimmar or Razor Hill, sis. Bonus points if you go pre-Cataclysm. Mud huts as far as the eye can see, except for the structures made by the Jew-er, pardon me, Goblins
>>719427475his sustain is passable until 13, and his 1 4 & 7s are loaded with value for lighting shield or totem, so he can be very aggressive early game
>>719427109>throughputWhat's with you faggots pretending to know what words mean?
What are the chances they pick up content development however smallEven just new costumes if a new hero isn't feasible
>>719427109>>719426631why are you blatantly lyingthis is the modern orc building>steel>wood>stone>bones

>>719427665Oh, this will be good. Please, tell me how the word is used incorrectly.>>719427771That brown ain't wood, Anonymous. I have bad news for you. You also deliberately omitted the shit-encrusted walls and ceilings, they use it like mortar in brickwork, you know. And a picture can't convey the god-awful stench. How disingenuous of you
>One of the biggest backdrops of the horde vs alliance war is the rapid industrialization of both factions and destroying many fertile lands because of it>One nigger always has to go on about fake mudhutsThis has to be a gobbo falseflag to get more investment...
>>719427869>That brown ain't woodare you blind?
HotS is the only moba I enjoy because it's actually fun, with a lot of personality and not some e-sports cumgurgling orgy.My most played are Nova, Tychus and Morales.
>>719428018Horde invaded Ashenvale for its mud, not wood bro
>>719428018It's the goblins doing the deforestation to make their inferior inventions. The Orcs know better than to try after they got their intestines rearranged by Cenarius and his noble forest protectors. They weren't there for the wood, they were there for more mud, and to expand their mud hut shantytowns.>>719428036 I can see quite clearly, unlike you - you will have no doubt contracted pinkeye by now, having spent so much time near orcish "architecture"
>>719428138>because it's actually fun, with a lot of personality>However I exclusively played and enjoyed the most bland and generic characters the game offersAnon????
>>719428253Huh? Nobody mentioned <your favorite hero>, we're talking about designs with soul here. Rehgar and Alarak are of course up there but my favorite hero is Deathwing
>>719428243>The Orcs know better than to try after they got their intestines rearranged by Cenarius and his noble forest protectors....By the guy who DID get his guts rearranged by mere mortals just before WoW already?Nigga are you dumb
>>719428253I'll give you Morales is a bit bland, butt Nova and Tychus? Please. Also, Morales has an ability called "System Shock" which is an immediate bonus point.I just like Terran heroes.
>>719428459By the guy who fucked them up so badly they had to return to their demon masters to stand a chance, barely eked out a victory, then had to be wiped out by the rest of the orcs who were mad they had to do something other than build mut huts, losing the only compelling Orcish character (Grom) in the process? Yeah, I remember that, because I played Warcraft 3 where all this mud hut lore was officially established... apparently unlike you
>>719428634>the only compelling Orcish character (Grom)You find the only orc retarded enough to fall for the same ploy twice and got slapped by his own kind for it to be the only compelling dude while also going "nuh-uh it doesnt count" and moving goalposts?
>Deathwing on enemy teamUnkillable juggernaut who nukes us>Deathwing on our teamSquishy pinata with 0 movementWhat am I missing, bros?
>>719428818The only compelling Orc, not the only compelling dude. That should tell you how poorly written all the other Orcs are. He is at least endearing for his constant bloodlust. He has a shamelessness about him that I really like. He knows what he is and doesn't apologize for it, I can respect that. It's certainly much more engaging than these insipid Horde apologists living in denial, probably psychologically damaged by spending so much time around feces just kidding, there's no probably, they are definitely psychologically damaged if they enjoy the Horde.Who is moving goalposts here? Cenarius BTFO'd the orcs because they were harvesting sacred Ashenvale mud, that is the gut-rearranging I was referring to. They had to put on the demon yoke again to beat Cenarius in return, but at that point they were doing demonic bidding, not mud-harvesting. You grow increasingly desperate with each worthless post.
>>719415397now i know why this game died, you can be winning like 99% of the game and you can still lose and theres no real carries, all teamwork, on paper is great on practice 1 weak player fucks you more than all other mobas
>>719429295Lmao if you need a carry pick one shitter, you absolutely can carry games with the right character selection for the map and the size of your ballsOf course a frogposter has trouble grasping scaling and map synergies
>>719416292>I've noticed this game has a sort of little cult following on /v/Nah, only LARPers.I tried multiple times to get a /v/ lobby going now, but only ONE other person ever joined.
>>719427665Still waiting
>>719429295>you can be winning like 99% of the gameBut that's a good thing. >no carriesHow can this meme still exist? Is being 5 levels higher than everyone else in the game the only way you can define carry?
>>719429658I've only played ARAM for the past 5 years or something. Sorry, Anon-kun.
>>719429743Brawl is fun as fuck unless someone gets that stupid tank fuck I hate that stupid big tiddy bitch so much
>>719429832Larper.Hammer has been banned in aram for years
>>719429295if you were winning 99% of the game that would mean all your structures would be up and unless your whole team wiped while theirs survived it would take a good while and a few more losses to lose the game
>>719429832Hammer isn't in ARAM.Neither is Cho'gall, which is sad, because I think they could make it work. Just give two players a fourth hero slot in the draft so they can cho'gall if they want to and pick something else if they don't.Leoric isn't in ARAM either, but maybe a year or two ago they reintroduced 5v5 all-same-hero back into ARAM, and I know you can get Leoric in that since it's happened to me twice. I guess it's possible 5v5 all Hammer is a thing too, and I just haven't run into it yet, I don't play that much these days.
>>719429880I haven't played since 2022 or 2023 bro...
>Play Deckard>Tossing potions all day.>teammates walk around the potions that just sit on ground, especially the super potions.Is it because they're red? Red = bad?
>>719430460>People don't wait for super potions>People never pick up ruby potions
>>719430460>>Play DeckardFirst mistake. Deckard is such a shit healer with ZERO impact. All you're doing is following other people around and throwing garbage on the ground
My best memory of the game is one time I was such a pest as Abathur the enemy team went like 1v3 against me and ended up retreating. Of course it was more about them being bad rather than me being good, but I still felt like a king during that game, especially with teammates cheering for me
>>719430705You're a retard
>>719430928It's simple but my favorite was every time someone tried to 1v1 Zagara's hydralisk at level 1 and losing to itloved that little bastard
>>719430928>>719431205Why are all your "best moments">do literally anything>opponent is a mentally retarded kid that just walks straight into death>wooooo I'm such a god gamer WOW>great game haha>*never play it again*Fucking LARPers

TAZ'DINGOOO
>>719415397Alarak is the best thing about Legacy of the Void. He somehow made the sith ripoff protoss tolerable just by the sheer power of his charisma.>>719415539Based
>>719431740laughing at retards act like retards is fun what can I say
>>719432306>they capped his stacks how they massacred mah boi
>>719434096They should uncap Convection
>>719434096take the ARAMpill, anon. zul'jin is one of the very strongest heroes. you will always be up against 2-3 blinds minimum every time you pick him, though>>719434135take the ARAMpill, anon. convection is useable in ARAM because it's very easy to stack and you almost always have teammates to protect you from dives
>>719434251I take Convection in SL anyway. I think it's a great talent. It's just not as good as being punished for it is bad.
>>719434096Hold up, the boomerang axes?
is HOTS still alive/playable?
>tfw lose to another 5 stack
>malganis doesn't have his kickass mutton chops in hotsGross
>>719435061jesus christ, thank god he doesn't look like that in HOTS
>>719435061He should be able to disguise himself as another hero
I play hots because Ana is one of the most entertaining healers I've ever played in a moba, but holy shit this game is so unfun to play. Quick Match is full of 5 stacks with 85-90% winrates because they abuse the matchmaking system to rinse randoms, and ranked is a shitshow where you can get a game full of mouthbreathers who don't know how to assemble a team in draft or prioritize objectives, then in the next one you'll have smurfs who will end the game 5 levels above you who stomp you into the ground from the start. ARAM is fine I guess, but in my experience it's the same problem as QM, if you play solo you're basically just fodder for 5 stacks. I would play League/Dota 2 instead, but Ana is just too unique of a healer and no other game has one like her. Wish she wasn't trapped in this gay dead game.
>>719435953I gladly wait 10 min for solo queue game if it meant it was half decent.
I have returned.
>>719435061>what ozempic does to a mf
>>719436750I hate this lil bug nigga so much>Pew pews>Teleports away
>>719435026No.
>>719415397Alarak's bants are so fucking good. He also voices ringmaster from dota, but its not as charming honestly.
Hoe long are queue times in NA?
>>719438440Oh and the two pew pews that hit do 50%
>Pick Ragnaros>Win by occasionally sending lava waves down a lane by the press of a buttonWhat's your move, mortal?
>>719435839It was theorized they were saving that for Belial, but they never got that far before development got killedDamn shame
>>719415397
>>719440875Healers should legally be able to TK that crab fuck.
If your main is Morales you are the most boring bitch imaginable. Why do you even play the game?
>no Baal>no Denathrius>no Mannoroth>no McCreeKinda sad
>>719435061The wotlk model is superior.
>>719443589His color scheme is worse imo but other than that agreed
Mal'ganis has 0 impact on a matchJust ignore him, really
>>719445298It's his ults. Every other tank in the game has ults that do important shit.His ults are meaningless. The rest of his kit is fine
>>719445985Eh, I disagree. If the rest of his kit did anything worthy of making you focus him, his health swap would have some use. Sleep has uses but is kinda map reliant and you need your teammates, you never have any value off of it when forced into a solo encounter.
>>719446891>and you need your teammatesThat's literally every tank.
>>719447534There has to be some value on it in other scenarios too though.Like compare his shit to Chen for example.
>>719430705>shit healer with 0 impactIf you dont know what you're doing, maybe.
>>719448223OK anon, tell us your secrets that somehow turn Deckard into something useful with bumbling retards running around like headless chickens
>>719448273>step 1Dont be retarded.>step 2Land your fucking heals, and know how to correctly place potions for upcoming fights.These two simple steps work a vast majority of the time.
>>719448273Is it "shit healer with 0 impact" or "useful with retards"? goalpost moving so hard lol
>>719448586>Land your fucking healsHis default insta heals are shite no matter how accurate you are with them
>>719426517My absolute favorite to hear.
>Play Samuro>Every single enemy targets my real Sam immediately, and I do barely any damage before I have to bug out>Enemy Samuro>My allies just ignore the real one hitting them, since they think it's a clone doing 60% of their healthpool, or freak out that a clone is attacking a minion and blow all their cooldowns on it.Golly gee! I fucking love it!At least there's always Rexxar, who can carry games forever, even after Misha's damage was gutted.
How do you guys keep your sanity and motivation to rank up?Literally last game our tank said>afkafter we lost the first fight and there was no way for us to win at that point
Why are 99% of Leoric players so fucking retarded?Niggas really think they can die and rez inside the enemy team and die again over and over.
>>719450594You report and move on.If you report a person, they'll be added to your auto-silence list, but also you'll have notably lower chance to be matched with them on your team.And, when shit goes south and your tank decides to be a faggot of the highest degree, go wild. Farm kills that don't matter, split push while the enemy team is taking this seriously, b-step mid-fight when you know it's already over.Just don't feed on purpose! Occasionally the afk or feeder will get tired of you not losing the match on purpose and actually start playing again.Still report and move on, but it's pretty nice when it happens. The enemy team is usually already phoning it in at that point and a surprise level 20 wipe can turn the entire game around.Understand and remember it's a game that only get marginally better at higher ranks. Even at Masters, people still do the afk after one fight lost. There's always going to be a minority of utter faggots. Don't let them ruin the game for you.Enjoy your time playing the game, ignoring the people that don't enjoy it. Even when you lose you can brush it off as an excuse to play your one-trick to get back up a could ranks.>Unless you're already in copper/ lower silver, in which case you need to one-trick your ass out of that sludge.
>>719450594Drink but drinking causes me to go off on teammates when they do stupid shit like group up in a bush to get annihilated by Stukov + Anyone else which gets me muted by the automated system and booted off ranked.
>play Varian>nobody picks a tank>sword and board it is>for the 9th game in a row
>>719451490This guy and Tyrone are absolute menaces...to their own team.I am sure that death explosion will do something this time!
>>719452014You gotta pick him later in the draft, my man.Or, if it's QM, just go nuts. Twinblades are Winblades.They really aren't.
>>719451717>Understand and remember it's a game that only get marginally better at higher ranks. Even at Masters, people still do the afk after one fight lost. There's always going to be a minority of utter faggots.Is this true? If it is, I'd rather stop playing
>>719415397>:3
>>719452247It's true of every game, and all walks of life, unfortunately.There's always going to be some fuckheads that can't deal with stuff not going their way and ruin something for everybody else.There's no game without fuckheads, no city without fuckheads, no creed without fuckheads, no continent without a few fuckheads sprinkled about.However, human being are 99% decent people, at least. They're not perfect, but don't let the outliers ruin it for you.
>>719452475Yeah but other game's give you more options to carry yourself out of the garbage. If one of your team mates goes afk or feeds on purpose, the game is over. You can do whatever the fuck you want at this point.>b-but this one time I still won!Shut the fuck up you pedantic retard. You know exactly how this game goes>b-but this one streamer can carry himself out of bronze to master!Yea, but I'm not a streamer and don't want to play 24/7 over 1000 games to do that.
>>719452648I've won 4v5s in League, HoN, DotA, and HotS. They're the exception, not the rule. In any one of those, you're still kneecapped, but it is technically possible.Any team-based game can be ruined by shitty fuckheads. (Looking at you, CS1.6 and kids that think flashbanging your allies is the funniest shit) If you're that upset about it, your options are to grab a crew of cool dudes, or play games with less teamplay. But if you're sticking with HotS, the report key is your best best for having less of them on your team than before.Finding friends in HotS isn't that hard. If someone plays well, throw an invite their way after the match and duo-queue. If shit goes well, throw some friendly banter their way, and send a friend invite. Then, when you see them online, ask if they want to play.
>>719452638>Posting cropped porn of HotS girlsMan, I also miss /hotsg/ from back in the day.[Embed]-filled Garrosh posting was funnier in hindsight than it was at the time. Now, I miss it sometimes.
>>719452918>But if you're sticking with HotS, the report key is your best best for having less of them on your team than before.Reporting does literally nothing
>is quietly one of the most deadly characters in the game in you're pathI loved shredding tanks with the minigun. Haven't played in years but he was fun.
>>719453808Maybe it's anecdotal evidence on my part, then, but I rarely see the same shitheads that I report.I know 'works on my machine :-)' isn't the best form of verifiable shit you can see, especially on 4chan of all places, but it works pretty well for me.Maybe they all ended up in the time-out queue with all the others and decided to stop playing when the shoe was on the other foot, or our respective ranks increased/decreased enough to not see each other again. I honestly don't know what to tell you aside from that it just seems to work, from my personal perspective at least.
>HoTS died because turd worlder ASSFAGGOTS players would rather get fed and buy a bunch of OP items dictated by some guide so they can live their power fantasy for 30 out of 60 minutes that a match lasts than play an actual good gameGrim!

>>719454098every time i get this guy in aram i'm top damage with like 3x the damage of the guy below mehe's genuinely insane
>>719454660>Why is Alextrasza the best healer?>Mommy milkies!That one.Best healer is Uther or Morales, anyway.
>>719454660she isn't
>>719455110Khara is useless thoughbeit
>>719455110i can count on one hand the number of times i've seen kharazim do wellstukov is the GOAT though that's true
>>719455110whats it take pull off the robes-but-only-the-bottom-half look?
>>719455184Kharazim is fine, just get them to use actually use their W to heal more than one person instead of as an 'oh shit' button for themselves and he can keep parity with other healers easily.
>>719435953I mean. She's in overwatch 2 as well .Trapped in another shit game But whatever.Tongue my anus. And stop using my wife to shitpost.
>>719455346For me it's the opposite problem of other people not getting close enough and even actively running away from W range when I'm playing Kharazim. Yes, I could dash to them, but often its on cooldown or the retard teammates already ran outside dash range.
>>719452638ive checked all the usual sites sauce please
>>719454098If you focus the tank, you're already doing it wrong
>>719454660>>Able to circumvent Deathwing's no healing restriction with circle of life quest globes.elaborate?
>>719456313Deathwing's gimmick is that he is unstoppable all the time. No slows, no roots, no stuns. However to balance this out, he cannot be healed or boosted by allies.Alex is able to get around this with lvl 1 quest talent Circle of Life. After collecting 15 regen globes, you can spawn regen globes from the circle and they act as any other regen globe, allowing you to heal Deathwing with it.
>>719422818SameI still remember a ranked game on infernal shrines where our Rehgar dcd 2 minutes into the game and only reconnected when we were finishing their corethe bot never missed an ancestral, absolute mvp of that game
>>719432460the panda
>>719422818>>719456520What are you talking about?If a player leaves, there is no bot. The character teleports back to the base.Your only option is to ping them, then they'll follow you around and probably die as soon as an enemy see them.
>>719456562>PandaI like how many artists use Li-Li as fapbait.Especially with her feetsies.
>>719456798it's important. she's important.
>>719452014>nobody picks tank>sword and board it isif you manage to luck yourself into a team with low cc or low kiting, You can go DW varian, and psuedo tank, but you really have to know how to weave in and out of fights and apply pressure in the right spots. Parry is just that good of an ability. It's still easier to go full tank, but it's an option if you really want to play dps
>>719455184I find he works very well in CC heavy teams, or with characters that lack mobility. Taking a Q build to spam cleanse/speed boost and deny CC/charge in can really overwhelm your enemies.
>Only played Nova, Uther, Raynor>Nova used to be god like now she's shit>Uther used to be fun with DMG build now can't solo delete ADCs>Raynor is arguably still fun, but his gun sound is shit after they changed it from original SC2 marine gun soundI sleep
