the most fun i ever had gaming...
Sex with Chromie
>>736421215Ghoulish.
Dead and abandoned
>>736421215Post your most played hero.
>>736421215I wish they'd put this on Steam.
>>736421732My wives.
>>736421215>killed because didn't manage to get it into esportsI hate blizzard
>>736421732i think my most played were zagara, d'va and guldan
>>736422091It's alive and well thoughever.You can play it right now.
>>736422219do people sweatlord in it or is it fun to go back to
>>736422219my region has the same 20 people on rotation and one of them only ever plays medivh and nothing else
>>736422219>It's alive and wellDid they add any character?
>>736422219yeah it is but they're done working on it. nothing new is on the horizon
>>736421215post more panda butt
>>736422162ok i looked at my stats and guldan is #1 by a mile lol. love that dude
Usually mained Alarak. Love the high risk /reward of stacking sadism or lightning zaps.Would solo queue ranked as Murky sometimes to troll faggots. He was great in to chill solo push the core out and actually fucking soak for people.
>>736422390>>736422446>the GAAS brain in full effectMy condolences. Here, have this weird dog creature for your health.
>>736422318They sweat as much as any moba. E.g. a lot while being woodleague.
I'm actually glad Blizzard abandoned the game. Imagine what kind of shit these faggots would pull out in 2026.
i'm gonna say it. overwatch characters killed the game
>almost zero RNG>mounts>shared EXP>supports that actually support>characters all feel unique thanks to traits>no shopping aids>talents that actually change your character>status effects that are consistent and easy to understand>armor is simply a flat percentage damage reduction>different maps with different objectives>animations that have soul>all abilities (except ult) at level 1>12-18 minute gamesHeroes of the Storm was the final good Blizzard game to release.
>>736423121Actually it's allowing full-stack premades to go against randoms in quickplay that killed it.
wtf they just fully reworked arthas https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/article/24264015/heroes-of-the-storm-ptr-patch-notes-march-30-2026
love me some brightwing. really nailed the annoying as fuck support archetype
>>736423121The only "uniquely OW" heroes (no mana and maybe chargeable ults) are Tracer, Dva and Junkrat. I'll give you Tracer and Junkrat being annoying, Dva is strong but not unbalanced. Everyone else is also just a mana based hero like any other.
>>736423264>supports that actually supportYou mean supports that actually carry.Also the game died when they removed double winds.
>>736423334>Cast time for Nuke now breaks upon taking damage.No more suicide missions..
>>736423448>Play Li-li>Go full dragon build>Team is seething over playing "Damage build">Hit level 20>Take Mistweaver>Double enemy support healingWorth it every time
>>736423408Lucio basically plays the same as his ow counterpart
Orphea…
>>736423572Yeah but there's nothing to him that's so "Overwatch" as to break the game. I just never got the complaints about how OW heroes killed the game. If they were reskinned into Starcraft heroes or something but with the same kit you wouldn't be complaining>>736423637sex
>>736423334i had no idea this game still got updates. i might reinstall
>My favorite hero is Abathur :DDDDAbathur fags are niggers. No one enjoys having an Abathur in a lobby, no matter how well or how bad he is.
>>736423637made for correction
>>736423661its weird. theres just one guy who balances a game almost nobody plays
>>736423661It's mostly shuffling around of numbers to change up the meta, but no new "content" or anything. Never gonna get new heroes, skins are recolors at best, there have been some new recent skins they had lying around but they're kinda low quality and overpriced. They can't really spare devs to actively work on creating assets but it's cool that there's still a skeleton crew maintaining the game.There were some pretty hefty map changes recently, personally wasn't a fan of them. But the game is still well "playable" and maintained
>>736421215too bad it's infested by no hands russians that think they are playing LoL or Dota
>>736423718There's still a surprisingly solid playerbase, you'll find matches easily. It's just never gonna get new "momentum" unless Blizzard announces a 3.0 against all odds
>>736423659>>736423696How dare you
this game had the goat support design compared to every other moba>lt morales>li li>stukov>alexstraza>deckard>blaze
>>736423718>almost nobody playsIn EUW you can find a Quick Match in less than 15 seconds
>>736423846There's nothing funnier than hitting top damage as Morales while still maintaining good heals
>>736423408>>736423659When people talk about OW heroes they mean crazy mobility and/or getoutofjail cards, always combined with very high effective damage output and overall "broken" feel, when classic HotS characters either have much lower mobility, or other flaws to compensate for that mobility. Genji, Tracer, Hanzo, Junkrat maybe, all are faggots. D.Va is okay I guess.
Li Ming best girl
>>736422390Don't worry, they are selling dogshit unfinished skins they literally dug out of the dumpster for 15 dollars.
>>736423931I genuinely take no issue with this, they were pretty open about this skin being a leftover assetThe alternative would be getting nothing new ever
>Pick up the game after years of not playing>Get bannedThe shitty auto-escalation system having no cooldown period after 5 years is some horseshit, and no I will not stop calling people cunts in video games.
>>736423838Orphea doesn't look like that!
>>736423931wow thats bad
>>736423991Like what?
...anyone want to form a hots group
>>736423846>brightwing>kharazim>whitemane>abathur>tlvOther mobas have absolutely nothing on HotS.
>>736423968And that would be unironically better, and less humiliating for the game.
>>736424007Like a heavy bottomed only fans whore!She's a ballet-dancer!
I was probably the lowest MMR player on earth who could play Abathur properly and it was fun queuing into people who would freak the fuck out about it and then carrying
>>736421215I had a ton of fun playing this with my crew for the purpose of training how to team fight of which the experience we used in dotaLast time i played nazeebo and his nigger noises was doing crazy dps
>>736424092Why? There is still a lot of people of play and enjoy the game.
>>736421732Who the hell is orphea? A OC made for hots?
>>736424075>whitemaneThe HotS team was quite literally way too based.
>>736421732
>>736424179yeah, they made two of themthe second one kind of reeks of "failed Overwatch hero that got ported to HoTS", although she is fun as shit to actually play
>>736424179She's a cute and (to play) funny OC character for hots, yes.
>>736424179they tried to create a HotS identity unique to itself and failed and the game went downhill from there with blizzard basically giving up on the game after that
>>736422219
>>736424075Kharazim: The support with Zero CC, little healing, and most of his talents based around punching the other guys right in the fucking teeth.And yet somehow one still a popular support pick with a solid win rate even in the Diamond/GM.
>>736424243Oh shit, that's an old one
>>736424325Thanks for confirming my point. Not sure why you thought it needed confirmation, but whatever.
>>736424179Yes, one of the two OCs from HotS, but we don't talk about the other one.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ut4FdF_2nE>>736424117Nothing wrong with being a little bottom heavy anon.
>>736424251>>736424278>>736424313Thanks guys. And yeah i remember seeing some black chick OC some years ago. Didn't think they'd make another one because the first one looked like shit
>>736424325apparently it still has a fair amount of players (its still on the battlenet front page and gets an update every few months). that makes me happy
>>736422091to be fair there's a pretty big patch coming soon, and part of that is finally reworking Arthas and Chen.
>>736424313>and the game went downhill from thereNot true, they got the news the funds would be cut off like days after her reveal in BlizzCon.
>>736424361Because he has a place in dive comps where he jumps in with his tank/assassin to help them with damage and heals.
>>736424361Kharazim could actually heal like crazy, even when taking a lot/mostly damage talents, but it requires your team knowing when to group up and then fan out.
>>736424313>the game went downhill because of OC charactersWrong.It went downhill because in typical blizzard fashion it took them too long to get the game to where it is now.Launch HotS was vastly different from what you see now. It is in a MUCH better state now, but it was little too late. Failed to capture the mobatards and thus it's now in maintenance mode.
>>736424376I love Orphea so much bros
>>736424532why can't girls be real bros
>>736424571I don't know, I wish human women were real
>>736424587gay
>>736424443Internally they knew what they were looking at and cut it, yeah. the decision would've been made looking at all they had planned with her and the next OC
>>736424619None of the devs interviewed after the cut said they knew about it. It came as a surprise for all the HotS team.
>>736424672???? do you think the devs were the ones who decided to cut funds? you think the HotS team was the one who made the decision???? think for a second anon. THINK
>>736424619>>736424743You're too ESL for this conversation.

>>736424929Carbot's HotS videos were perfect. I think my favorite one is Stukov's.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVYYMdDd14E
>>736424929>>736424974Is he still at it? What is this blizz shill making videos about nowadays? Last time i watched was in 2021
>>736425063He almost stopped doing Blizz stuff in general
>bullies your lane
>>736424412Yeah, I play it every weekend or so for a bitI still find QM games in less than a minute
>>736422219>Wait 3 hours for a match during 9 pm>Zero matches after midnightYeah no.
>>736421215>getting the enemy abathur was consider a win even if the match is lostI don't think there's any other of multiplayer game that gave the same feeling
>>736425196Why?
>>736425198>sidestep your Q>you are now useless
>>736421732>I've known much better healers
>>736425198>oh bro orphea is SO broken!>heavily telegraphed short-ranged abilities that takes a full second to fire>miss once means no damage and no mobility
>>736421732Mine is Medivh, Alarak, then Chen
>>736425329Not him but>WoW has imploded into a safespace simulator>Starcraft is, at the moment, a dead game>Diablo is stagnant and nobody really cares about it>HotS is dead>Nobody wants to talk about what's happening Hearthstone>Overwatch lmao
>>736425378Alarak Announcer is peak>Combat begins shortly, your failure will likely follow>At least your failure was spectacular>Protect your Core! The concept is alarmingly simple!>
>>736425492The guy said almost stopped. But it implies he's still at itIf all those ip's have negative connotations. What vids is he making now on blizz games?
Only HE can save Hots.
>>736425329Blizzard spends a lot of time trying to demonetize his videos as far as I know.Hence the "I'm being oppressed"-intro on a lot of his videos.
>>736421215fake fun
>stand there>chuck axes at motherfuckers at the speed of light>the lower hp I have, the stronger I am>go Buzzsaw so I can 1shot entire teams with my ult>DA AMANI DI CHUKAFew characters are as simple AND satisfying as this fucker.
>>736425552Oh yeah that was the reason. What a cuck if he still makes vids on blizz shit then lol
>>736425532When you lose:>Ah, what you're best at.>Is your blood boiling? Good.Alarak is fucking based
>>736425686for me it was xul>splitpush>splitpush>duel anyone 1v1 when they try to stop you>splitpush
>>736425798It wasn’t until HoTS that I realized the D2 Necro/Xul and Uther had the same VA (that’s why they added lines shit talking each other)
>>736426112Well, one of them raises the dead and the other puts them back down, so there's thatFor me it's when Imperius kills a nephalim (Diablo heroes)>I've wanted to do that for a long, long time>Your kind are an abomination
>>736422219how does it run on linux?
>>736425361>>736425454>my honest reaction
>>736426357There's a lot of hilarious lines like that.>Garrosh kills jaina>Say hello to theramore for me>Mal'ganis kills Arthas>This is where your journey ends BOY
>Hello Darkness, my old friend, have you called to talk to me again? What? No, i still don't have the Demon Hunter's number. Ask the other one!
>>736426448I'll take uuuuh top right.Love me some huffy attitude.
>>736426448>when she sees your cock
>>736426357>>736426541>kill Arthas as Anub'arak>FINALLY I'M FREE OF YOU
>>736427071That's cringe though.Arthas and Anub are best bros.
>>736421732For me it was Alarak, Artanis, Arthas and GreymaneArthas rework never ever
>>736427121>Arthas rework never ever>>736423334
>>736427121>Arthas rework never everFor gods sake Alarak open your eyes.
>>736424179Unfortunately. I was already burnt out but this animu OC shit was a good sign it was time to put the game down.
>>736422219It's so funny how people claim it's the greatest thing ever and a very fun moba but won't play it just because they won't add more content and rebalances. Like... just go and have fun?
>>736423334>Necrotic Embrace [W]>Now benefits double the amount from Vampiric Touch.>No longer provides Armor for 3 seconds.What is this crap?I hate everything I'm seeing.
>>736427417I actually did recently go back to it with some friends and played every day or so for half a year. There's still tons of fun to be had with it but with a recent balance change being kinda shit I took it as my time to take another break
>>736427237>>736427194holy shit
I haven't played in a long time because my Blizzard account is tied to an old ISP that I don't have anymore and can't recover my info.I loved pre-2.0 Tassadizzle. Fucking Double Psi-Storm/Archon just melted things. He was my first Master skin at level 10. Then it was Chen.
>>736427502Just make another if you want to playIt's free and all you need is an email
>>736423754There are at least 3 new skins never released before, 1 for raynor, thrall and butcher. There is also a Valla's skin that is looking like an existing one, but was slightly different.
>>736427550Nah. After the Hearthstone "free hong kong" drama, I stopped caring about Blizzard.
>Zarya is the only semi-tolerable Overwatch character to have in a gameHow the FUCK did they make every other OW character cancerous?
>>736423334>>736427458>Will of Tichondrius no longer increases stun durationNo more raid-boss Chad'ganis.
>>736427675LMAOnice
>Starcraft is getting a tabletop game this month>The studio behind it already said they'll do Warcraft as well if it does well enough>Diablo is an absolure shoo-in for a board game with Nephilim minis and expansionsReal life HotS may actually happen. We already have Artanis, Raynor, Kerrigan, Zeratul, and Morales.
>>736427658Ana is fair.
>>736423334>Haunted mines has returned to Quick Match!oh no bro
>>736427997The map so bad they made an entirely new map with banter about how bad it is...
KING varyan wrynn, my beloved. And nazeebo!
>>736428541>Tfw Varian shouts 'NO POTIONS!' as he taunts me, only for Deckard to immediately throw him a potion
>>736428990KekAlso they put in deckard cain? Htf does he play? Throwing potions? Why?
>>736427997why don't they just have every map in rotation now that its in maintenance mode. feels weird to still rotate them
>>736429423>Throwing potions?Yes, and you can customize them through talentsHe can throw a horadim cube for a slow and has a triangular scroll that roots peopleHis ult is "Stay a while and listen" which puts enemies in a cone radius to sleep, his other ult is a Lorenado which creates an impassable circle that moves into a designated direction an knocks enemies around. His passive gives him extra armor and cooldown reduction when he's near alliesreally fun healer imo
>>736421732don't have it installed but mine was some order of>murky>abathur>zagara>TLVI was basically "that guy," the one you'd never want to see on your team
>>736430208I fucking loved playing Nydus Zagara and spreading my cancer all over the map
>>736430374nydus maw zagara is a literal guaranteed win if you know what you're doing
>>736430208FOR THE SWARM
>>736424929>>736424974For me it's gotta be youtu.be/xN05v8HWx88
>filters you
>play ragnaros>spam lava wave on cd>collect win
>>736427675THE BAT STRIKES AGAIN
>>736421215None of my friends liked it. Except that guy who's just on for the talk and sucks at all games
>Remove pure kino master skins and give them to every retard as lowest-rarity-tier lootbox fodder>Gut the shit out of mediocre characters (Valeera) to desperately attract new players>EVERY SINGLE Overwatch character except Zarya was a GIGANTIC waste of development time and roster space and again except Zarya only make the game worse, being boring as fuck to play and god awful to play against>Old-WoW-tier glacially slow balance updates where a few paragon picks dumpstered the rest of the roster like how Gul'dan, Kael'thas, and Li-Ming were better than everyone else for eternity. I'd love to see a HOTS dev try to justify how Johanna and Arthas were supposed to fulfill the same role holy shit>Quickplay for its entire lifespan and to this day is totally unplayable because 5 assasssins v 5 assassins is not worth it and that's all you get>Boneheaded character reworks that were trying to do build diversity but were functionally "The same character you love...but slightly worse!" like Alarak or Medivh>Really pulled out the stops making an OC character with Orphea then slopped out with Qhira who sucks and could have her kit given to WoD Kargath with few changesI adore this game but I hate all the mistakes it madeI will never be able to remove it from my heart because good god did it get autoattackers right. Valla, Sylvanas, and Zul'jin feel exactly how I wish LoL ADCs would feel
>>736430208Who's tlv? I've seen him mentioned several times but i have no idea who it's supposed to be
>>736432080
>>736424974>that mariushka dollFucking kek
>>736432016>Kael'thas and Li-Ming undisputed best assassins for ages, only ever nerfed from literally gamebreaking to *just* objectively stronger than everyone else>devs release Greymane and accidentally give him a talent that lets him skirmish effectively against KT and Li-Ming>as soon as people realize this it's INSTANTLY removed despite Greymane being a firmly 50% wr hero whose only interesting feature is being able to counterplay the two strongest heroes in the gameI will never forgive them
>>736432080The Lost Vikings, the three in one hero
>>736432310li ming sold skins please understand
For me it was greymane, in my opinion the best executed melee/ranged hybrid in any game. He feels so incredibly smooth to play, and using both forms effectively is really rewarding. I might need to go back and play some again just for him and zul'jin.
Could you imagine if, instead of this trash, HOTS had nine more heroes? Imagine if we had Azshara, a SC2 Reaper, Lilith, Baal, Grommash, Kalecgos, an Old God maybe...
>>736432135Oh right thanks
>>736421732Abathur was my favorite character ever
>>736432421the game not having vashj, khadgar or cairne bloodhoof is crazy
>>736432397Greymane to me is funny, because he brings basically no utility at all to the team (no CC, no healing/shields, no sustain at all, a decent wave clear but nothing amazing). What he does bring, however, is a level of damage best described with “FUCK YOU”, and that’s enough to give him a pretty solid win rate in GM lol.
>>736432617He's got one job and he does it well. I like how fast you start running around once you get that talent on lvl 13.
now that the dust has settled, the game was doomed when it turned out that they were teasing Dehaka instead of Terokk, right?
Remember when they finally reworked Raynor, and for a while he was so strong he basically right clicked everyone to death lol.
>>736421215The game is better than all the DotA clones, but still worse than the custom maps people made before DotA killed WC3.
remember when fenix came out and he was unkillable
>>736432870>he basically right clicked everyone to death lol.Isn't that his thing? The prototype right clicker?
>>736432945>Laughs in Fury Varian with Shield breaker
>>736421732I played a mix of everything, but I mostly liked to play Abathur, Alarak, Brightwing, and Tyrande (before her rework, RIP fat owls).My most notable HOTS accomplishment was getting called a virgin by LightKnight69.
>>736432945this also applies to blaze, garrosh and malthael
It's a shame they completely neutered twin blades varian
I knew a guy that had won over 4000 matches with just Tychus. I can’t even imagine how long that would have taken.
Everyone probably has that one game they can never forget>unranked draft on dragon shire>everyone is raging during draft and troll picking>end up with murky, lili, abathur, TLV (me) and Azmo>spend more time shittalking each other than playing>we're fucking winning>we end the game with a begrudging "ggwp assholes"
>>736432397>>736432617>>736432768>That sweet Cursed Bullet into Cocktail into jumping on a the enemy in worgen form into Razor swipe + autos into DisengageIt's so fucking smooth and perfect bros.
>>736432997Yeah but he was simple and not really that good. If you wanted an AA hero you'd pick Valla. Post rework Raynor could stand still and right click you to death.
>patiently waiting to get the perk for guldans corruption to bounce backwards to double your damagewhy even pick anything else?
>>736433072Nooooooooo
>>736433072>>736433237https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZYyT-iDr2k
>>736433221Kek alright
>>736433221Also how post rework, that mini Banshee he summons as a possible Ult had higher DPS then most assassins at the time
>>736432617>decent wave clearnever underestimate Greymane's pushing power, i used to always joke with my friends about "leaving Greymane alone in a lane" because of how quickly he can take buildingsalso Tooth and Claw at 20 lets him instaclear waves
>Mostly play tanks, bruiser and the occasional healer>like my games slow and methodic>those overpicked assasins look hard to play>play them>it's easy a fuck to dominate everything Is the hypercarry dps mindset preventing players from getting gud? Just look at some ultra shitters profile and you can be sure they only play high dps heroes and feel smug about it.
only poor beaner children still play this, the fate of every maintenance mode free to play game
>>736433407i once played a game with a 10000+ game LiMing onetrick who went 0/5 in 6 minutes and ragequithe had a negative winrate
>>736433407All I know is an Illidan player would either feed their team like a buffet or somehow 1v5 the entire team even though they had a Johana and a Lili and there was nothing in between.
>>736433651i don't think i have ever seen an illidan or a genji do well
