HOTS GODSGET THE FUCK IN HERE
>>747494841Did something happen?
>>747495095They announced Xalatath is a new character and will be in PTR on Monday.And that there's at least one other character currently in the works. And considering that this character didn't really exist until after Hots ceased development, then you can assume that it wasn't just something they finished cleaning up.IE: potential hots revival.
>>747495095New character after 1000 years. Theyre putting the void elf bitch into the game.
>>747495462Never gave up hope. Selendis next.
>>747495462>>747495525NiceSo many feet skins...
Is knaifu and her feet enough to revitalize the game anons?
>>747494841>Good news>Knaifu>HOTS isn't dead yet>Leoric has a janitor's payroll>Bad news>It's post-legion warcraft knaifu sludge>feet fetish>2 warcraft heroes in a row
>>747495761Literally any hero is enough to revive the game. HotS is actually fun when you don't have some bitch giving up 2 minutes into the game.
>>747494841ToshbrosBelialbrosBaalbrosits our time
>>747494841WHERE IS THE ARTHAS REWORK?????
>>747496250The real bad news is that it's still the SC2 engine so the moment a bunch of new players show up they're immediately going to lag out once and spend 5 minutes catching up instead of just instantly reconnecting.
>>747496478Arthas rework happened months ago, anon
>>747496478Rework doesn't mean the same thing to hots as it does League.Arthas has been reworked several times.
>>747494841>another wc heroi'm glad that it is back but...
>>747496478Already happened. He's based on the dungeon where he walks behind the players and Jaina which is a little disappointing, but you can't just ignore him anymore, play him in aram.
>>747496478Arthas already got a rework, nothing too major but it still made him substantially better than he used to be
>>747496785What would you have wanted, another Overwatch hero with hyper mobility? Perhaps a cringy OC like Qhira was?
>>747496323>HotS is actually fun when you don't have some bitch giving up 2 minutes into the game.People like that should be killed in front of their families>everyone goes to mid for the ARAM>be a cheeser, go top or bottom to cheese the gate>he jumps in and dies immediately>"gg"
Lost Viking Chad's where we at?
>>747496939Baal from Diablo
I remember that it took forever to match a game for me so I always end up playing with bot.
>>747496939a new starcraft hero
>>747496939>What would you have wantedEither Baal or Blackthorne
Perhaps I'll boot up a game as melee build Zeratul for old time's sake.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1AdglEIAOE
>>747496939give me Tosh RIGHT NOW
>>747496448I think my most wanteds are>Baal>Tosh>Akama>D4 Druid>Mannoroth>Denathrius>Zenyatta>Lei Shen
more coffin loli when
Janitorsama....I KNEEL
>>747494841>>747495462Maximum Cope levels of a thread holy shit
>>747497130Outing yourself as a third worlderheh
Gonna get back into hots I think. What game modes are fun. Any tips to be good at hots? I enjoyed literally every hero I played.
If this is coming back can we finally get a Darkspear Troll?
>>747497454>>DenathriusSIRE Denathrius
>>747494841oh cool crossover moba slop
>>747497942Only play ARAM and Draft, Quick Match tries to balance team compositions really poorly so it's pretty much always 3 assassins and 2 tanks unless you queue a support or weird character like Abathur.
>>747498216>slopliterally the only good moba on the market
>>747497942>Any tips to be good at hots?Ping stuff, people will typically follow youIf you stay back from Objective to split push, actually shove the lane so they have to send someone to deal with youI can't tell you how many retarded Nazeebos and Murkys I've seen just sit in the middle of a lane, playing PvE and not doing anything while their team dies
>>747496976>Someone does something retarded and dies a fixable death>"Bro gg"
>>747498216unfortunately hots is the best moba can be as a setting since it's the culmination of 20 years of a company. unfortunately said company died and killed hots because it wasn't moba slop enough. it should have been its own branch of multiplayer.now we have dota slop and league slop with omega half assed lore that gets rewritten every second or barely there content besides lane clicking. this genre only survives because people grew on cool custom w3 maps, not muh competitive lane gook clicking.
>>747498319>Quick Match tries to balance team compositions really poorlyIt literally just matches rolesIf you have a tank, the other team willIf you have a healer, the other team willIf you have support, the other team willIf you have certain melee assassins or a bruisers, the other team will
>>747497942Doing the wrong thing as a team is often better than doing the right thing alone, soak/split push is like the only thing that is correct to do alone but only if you're a hero who is good at those things.
>>747498640If it was just that then fine but there's a bunch of secondary buckets like if you pick a stealth hero they get a stealth hero or Lunara because for some reason she's in the same bucket or if you pick Abathur/Zarya/Medivh the other team will have one of the other two.
>>747498640>>747499050Sometimes I've had 2 healers on enemy team while I'm playing Ana, because apparently she heals for two????
>>747499461It doesn't match the number, just the roleYou have a healer, so they will have at least one>>747499050>if you pick a stealth hero they get a stealth hero or LunaraI don't think that's true, I'm fairly certain I've had games where there's a lone Zeratul or a Nova without Lunara, I'll check> if you pick Abathur/Zarya/Medivh the other team will have one of the other twoYeah that's supportsTLV too
I'm happy bwos
>>747499050>>747499461Yeah, here's one quick matchI'm the bruiser, so they have one too (Sonya)And they have a Zeratul and with no stealth guy on our sideBrightwing mirror match though
>>747497454Man, I've been saying even back when the game was still alive that Lei Shen would fit perfectly, his abilities would translate almost straight across the game.
>>747496939>another Overwatchyes, add moira or mccree
Is hots playable alone? Have 2000+ hours between dotaw3 and 2
>>747494841dead genreeven deader game
OHOHOHOHOHOHO
>>747502123You'll get pubstomped now and then but I play without parties and have a good enough time, sure.
i'm just glad it's not another oc donut hero
>>747497942Here's some map specific ones>Dragon ShireYou don't need to obsess over this objective especially early on. If you control one point your fine. Sometimes it can be better to just push. Also worth it to steal the enemy Siege camp>Garden of TerrorDo camps early and often. If you can invade their camps, do it. You don't need to be at objective at the perfect time since they have to kill the minions>Cursed HallowObjective (OBJ) is the only thing that matters on this map. If you lose objective, defend one fort with your life. That's the best way to come back but sometimes you pretty much lose>Haunted MinesYou should try and get into the mines early (after the first one). Its good to spread out but be mindful of the map. If your hero can solo the boss, it can be worth it to just do that since there is a good chance they wont check. Also get Pumpkins early and often>Tower of DoomThis is the one map in the game where you can be almost dead and make a miraculous comeback. You can leave the enemy forts low if possible to take them all quickly but its always good to push one down. Boss isnt that worth it other than to keep the other team from having it (unless it ends the game)>Blackhearts BayIf one hero on your team can double soak, have them solo top and middle while you all 4 go bot and try and push the fort down. Its usually with and saves some coins. Also you'll have a massive exp lead>Sky TempleTry and win top objective. If you are able to get the walls down or damaged, you can get top fort. Whoever gets the boss around lv 16 pretty much wins>Tomb of the Spider QueenFor my experience the team that goes 2nd on the objective tends to win. Don't know why.>Infernal ShrinesMost people know this but get the bruiser camp (East/West side) before objective
>>747502794>This is the one map in the game where you can be almost dead and make a miraculous comeback.This happened to me one and I wanted to commit a war crime>be up 36-1>everyone's congratulating each other "gg" "ezgame">start feeding>start team fighting instead of securing the last point>loseI was literally seething
>>747502794cont, also meant Battlefield of Eternity not Infernal Shrines>Volskaya FoundryMap is basically determined by the 3rd objective and if you win with it, try and get a keep. QM always goes to the 4th objective and at that point, the damn thing can push down core. If you win it, just end the game>Hanamura CastleYou want to get the samurai just before objective but after that just get him early and often. They've buffed the objective recently so it is worth it to do it now>Warhead JunctionJust know they've buffed the fuck out of the nukes. 2 nukes and some damage on core can easily down it>Altarac PassIts very easy to rope-a-dope on this map. If you win one boss, feel free to go get the other. Also get the bruiser camp when you can and know that its very easy for the lanes to build up on this map. For the first objective, you are fine to sneak some soak in while everyone is putzing about. Often times it doesn't finish until everyone is around 7 and talent advantages can helpRest just play it as is. Also, people don't know this but you can just click the core to win. If its open and they are down a few people, just fucking click that shit for the win. You don't need to run around getting camps.
>>747502123Play a DPS hero and just remember to work with your team. You're micro skills will carry over. Make yellow spots on the map blue
>>747495462one of her weaknesses is her cold feet.straight from the video
>>747495761I demand orphea summer skin.
>>747496785what is your better pick?It could be worse, it could be my idea of having the Med'an, every character uses hate speech against him, and he just have lines talking about how he just looks for aproval.
>>747496785The newest warcraft villain to cash in its huge audience is the best pick from a business perspective if they plan to actually revive the game instead of letting this be a one off
I hope they can at least make it to the 100 heroes
Why did you want nu blizzard to sink their claws into hots? It wasnt perfect, but they left it alone.
sigh... im reinstalling the game now... guess its time to go back to blaze
>>747504774>SICKOS: "YES!"
>>747505659I like gambling, I'll bet on the 1% that they're gonna get their good devs on hots again
>>747505889>I like gamblingAW DANGIT
>>747505659I don't play HotS any more either way after getting bored of it, so if they ruin the game then nothing changes for me, but on the small chance that the revival is good I'd have another game to play once more.
>>747500939Didn't grab a screenshot, but just now I had team comp of all assassin on my side and on enemy side was all ass EXCEPT for Ragnaros bruiser.
>>747506212You had a melee assassin, I'm guessingRag is one of those Bruisers that will match with Melee assassins in lieu of no bruisers because he has no engage
>>747506446>You had a melee assassin, I'm guessingMurky and Maiev. All rest were ranged ass on my side.
while im downloading the game again can people join me in reminiscing the game?>handing in gold/spider gems as abathur>anything to do with Chogall>escaping from a 5 man gank in deadmines>abathur vs any stealth champ>hunt the sylvanas or she will take the lane in the 1 second i look away>Dodge the azmodan>DODGE THE FUCKING TYRANDE BIRD
>>747504774That's a man.The new animation quality also looks abysmal.
>>747506631Yeah, and Murky can talent into the gayest hardest engage in the game (Octograb)I'll take that
>>747506834Murky picked march ult.
>>747494841>from free to play to prepurchasewhy?
>>747506913Well, unless he's a positioning god, dumbass murky diff gg :)That's like having a solo "tank" Varian and he goes Twin blades kek
WE'RE SO FUCKING BACK HOLY SHIT
make it for steam please
>>747506983I think it's just for the skin and mount stuffGame's still free
>>747495462I think the other new hero might have already been leakedRaven Lord
>>747501405Lei Shen is actually a pretty inspired choice now that I think about it
>>747495462I'm reinstalling battlnet and hots when I get home
>>747507754How does that work with maps where he is the default announcer?
Should've been another cunnyphea
>>747507754It's going to be Selendis. When the cartoon thrall came out they announced they'd look for other unfinished stuff to sell, Selendis was confirmed to be in dev when the game was shelved.
>Xallytoes' face isn't animated in the spotlightshit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwXQEtGlkc4>Ugly ass model>Ugly ass animationsI would be ashamed to release this. NuBlizzard quality I guess.
>>747507754>D4 Paladin, Abomination/Stitches, Classic WoW Dwarf>Knaifu, Rafaam (Hearthstone), ??? (someone from Overwatch Im guessing), D4 Warlock>Vendetta (also Overwatch), Artanis, Raven Lordso like, is this a list of potential HoTS heroes or whats going on
>>747506641>Two Abathurs getting in a slap fight for the top Dragon Shrine>Watching a Living Bomb that chains, like, 8 times because your team is retarded>Killing a Medivh at 39 stacks>Breaking Murky's egg when it's at 1 second to revive>Waking up in a cold sweat, hearing Lunara's "HA HA HA!" "NYA HA HA HA!">Getting matched against the shitter that lost you the last game and locking the fuck in>Overlapping your announcements "Killing spr-Double k-Tripp-QUAD-HERO OF THE-Mega Kill!">Being excited for new Carbot animation or Heroes of the Storm GG + WP Moments videos
Is the legacy match on now?
>>747508726All these are literally me, except I'm the medivh dying at 39 stacks and crashing outGood one
>>747497454he'd better have a dedicated small follower carrying his cum chalice around on a platter
>>747509030I mainly want him to separate from and rejoin a disjointed Remornia that clones his moves.
>>747508404its the janitor doing his best all by himself, give him a break
>>747495462>And that there's at least one other character currently in the worksIt's him
>>747509128If they want the game to live they need to turn it into Microsoft Smash Bros, yeah.
>>747509128at best just as a Raynor skin kind of reference.
>>747508726>731% MAD>core races>the one time you get a butcher that stacks meat>medivac cheese
>>747509087He learned to model, animate and got far enough on her transition to sound like a woman for voice acting, I'm so proud of her
>>747494841>>747495462No offense and I hope you HotS guys get more content but it is kinda delusional to think this is anything more than the newest WoW expansion advertisement, they are forcing this shitty character everywhere.
I haven't played retail since Shadowlands but I'm straight up jorking it to xally. Thanks for fueling my nut, retailbros.
>>747509428Clearly it's making enough money (idk how it's piss easy to get everything for free) to justify keeping the servers online.
>>747495462>And that there's at least one other character currently in the works.Can it be? After all this time, Baal is finally gonna make it?
>>747509649We know who it's going to be
>>747495462Rather have them remove Qhira and Genji from the game than new WoW girlboss no one asked for this shit
>>747509816That non-zero chance that you might be right makes me upset
>>747509928>>747509816I think thankfully blizzard was forced to eat some humble pie on that front lately.See the overwatch 2 revival
>>747505659>but they left it alonethey started killing it with the new patches a year ago
>>747509649Probably a starcraft hero to go with the new game announcement, maybe mengsk. I'm hoping for a zergling hero but that's highly unlikely at this point I believe
Anyone has the beta tester portrait? If only I had the alpha test portrait. Oh well, please release it on steam, please.
>>747509816Is there anyone that likes this character?
>QUICK>POST YOUR HERO IDEA AND HIS/HER/ITS KITHarth StoneBrew of Hearthstone fameIt's literally a deck builder, with him getting new cards instead of talents>Each use brings the next 'card' out and available to be used>Summons monsters and throws out spells>Q's are damaging, W's are pure summon energy, E's are buffing/debuffing>Limited mana crystals and abilities that can only be replenished by 'Shuffling' with his D>Or use his #1 key to have him sit down and stack his deck, ordering which cards come out whenPLEASE, BLIZZARD!I DON'T EVEN LIKE HEARTHSTONE BUT WE NEED MORE STUPID AND WACKY HEROES THAT WOULD NEVER WORK IN OTHER MOBAS!LEAN INTO BEING UNIQUE, NOT JUST LEAGUE WITHOUT ITEMS!
>>747510161That's hecking problematic
>>747510163My ideal for Harth>trait is Hearthstone Deck>each talent adds 3 cards to his deck>QWER change based on what cards you draw
games redownloaded, gonna do a coop in a sec to just remember things but first, to look at the characters i own and figure out who to playProbably gonna be stukov
>>747510576People don't like RNG in mobas
>>747509303>That one hook that misses the entire frontline, threads the needle, and grabs your healer from the back>Pre-rework Sgt Hammer with her extended range and your team has no dive>Their Chromie player is actually good and sets down a billion traps>No healer? You better believe their Aba is going Mine build.>Getting B-stepped at your core, after a very close game>The boss is stolen because no one stood on the point and just ran after kills
>>747510851HotS isn't a MOBA. It's a ~HeRo BrAwLeR~But it'd also be frustrating to play AS, not just against, so there'd need to be some kind of order.
Where's my Outlaw Rogue gambling man with instakill gunshots...
>>747509816No way.They know they need heavy hitters who people have been begging for forever to get them off the ground>Baal>Reinhardt>LilithOr even Microsoft stuff like Arbiter or Jack of Blades or some shit.Stuff like that
>>747510973>People still arn't expecting the falstad boss steal after the 3RD FUCKING TIME!
>>747511403>Reinhardt>One of his ult is the charge with indefenite range like stukov's push.>You charge the enemy tank from 1 side of the map to the otherthat would be so funny to see
>>747510089yep, back them arthas was fun to play but now i play more suppors or assassins>>747510730you comeback at a moba and you first idea is picking mr stay still and silence?pick a manly support like uther or kharazimor if you fear you will fuck it up go for UNITED WE STAND!
her abilities in the game look like unfinished sfx
>>747512034Mister Janitor is trying his best
>>747507509they might unironically make new hero purchase with gems instead of gold now
>New content is a success>We get tournaments again>More charactersI wanna believe in Lady Prestor, Reno Jackson, Sen'Jin, and a Gurubashi Troll Priest that can summon Hakkar at level 20.
>>747494841/HOTSG/ODS WE ARE BACK
>>747512034
>>747512315I wish they added Lothar
>>747494841>HOTS is back>Back with nu-Blizzard with a nu-characterI'm afraid to go back, bros. I will probably wait for an old character
>>747494841The game was ruined by OW chars thoughYou cannot put soul back into it as long as Qhira, Tracer, Lucio etc. exist
Tirion would be cool.Ashbringer has a lot of brand power.
>>747507754Damg Rafaam in hots? Damg so cool
Should have added the Hearthstone Innkeeper
>
>>747512509I find it hilarious that tracer specifically gets hard countered by jimmy
>>747512031>Mr stay still n silenceActually the skill i use least on stukov, i know its good but i like slapping bitches.other choices is mostly tanks, malganis, blaze, taunt varian Wait, actually i could go for the prime Hots experience, kaelthas orb ult failure!
>>747512543Rafaam Announcer would be kino.
>>747512596>"We are so back" Wolfkino
>>747500939Your Raynor is eating crayons

>>747502548Her and Auriel are the only fun healersAnd rehgar
Guys a) judge me on who i own, i wont run awayb)who do i play for my glorious first game back?
*frogposts* i only play ARAM
>>747512908We didn't need him, I carried :)
>>747513072Murky unironically
>>747513072Get a friend and play as Gall
>>747512969all new skins are gems only now instead of shards and can't be rolled from boxes they clearly think the 2.0 model was a bad idea
>>747513072>Who I playAbathur, Cho'Gall if you have a buddy to play
>>747494841I can't believe it, I was hoping one of these days this game would have a second chance of grow organically but the odds were slim.I'm happy now, also W3 getting new expansions is huge.
>>747513018>not Kharazim
>>747513389>no CCHe's worthless anon
did they ever say if the game is gonna come to steam at blizzcon? or atleast imply it?
>>747513264>all new skinsYeah, they've been doing that for years, but then when they fall out of vogue, they make them easily attainableI'm fine with that
>>747513430hasn't Kharazim always been one of the most balanced (if not, +%) win rate healers in the game
>>747513478>Yeah, they've been doing that for yearsno I mean the recent ones when the toon skins came out that weren't just another color variant
>>747513198>>747513249>>747513281friends are all still in the "boycott blizzard they can do no right" mode so no chogall, guess its murky first then abathur
>>747513690Yeah, I remember when the MLP Diablo land cloud mounts were Gem only, you can buy them with the other currencies now
2016 Hots had a very coomeristic design philosophyI sure hope that Modern Blizz has rectified that and made us theys comfortable?
>>747513812because then 2.0 happened I don't think you keep track
>>747513826smartest Rexxar player
>>747496939BaalWe have Diablo and Mephisto but the trinity is incomplete
>>747513826>the looming pyroblast circle right at the endKEK
>>747502794They brought back Haunted Mines?
>>747513826>the fucking pyroblastlmao
>>747512674that the spirit
>>747510142I'm indifferent to her. She's actually fairly inoffensive in-game, she just has a rubbish design.
>>747512442This character debuted in 2016
>>747513826>Kael goes for the petty kill at the end
>>747513072rate my lads
>>747504774Might be the first time a HOTS model is actually a downgrade instead of an upgrade. I get it, they're probably on a shoestring budget here but still.
>>747513826Hobo and Bobo got rekt
>>747514565
>>747514565I'll take it regardlessI just want the game alive again
>>747514707>"ELP!"
>>747495462>haha all the copium on HOTS threads>Its realAAAAAAAH BUT I SWORE OFF BLIZZARD YEARS AGOJUST WHEN I THINK I WAS OUT, THEY PULL ME RIGHT BACK IN
>Moved across continents>You're not allowed to keep your progress between servers for some dumb fucking reasonGod fucking damn it Blizzard I hate you
>>747513072Tassadar. Hard to fuck him up, if you're rusty.
>>747507754where is this from? Raven Lord and Rafaam would be sick if true
That's cool and all, but as long as they don't punish afkers and inters, the game is as fucked as it has been the past couple of years.
I played one game of overwatch after months just for the free skin and I almost had an aneurysm. I fucking hate the people who play these gamesI miss HotS but I fear I'll have the same reaction if I come back to it
>>747514564>that high kaelthas and illidanhow many times did your kael orb fizzle and how many times did you ult as illidan only to insta die as you fly through the air?>Genji that highyou sicken me.
>/hotsg/ still not remadeNiggas slacking
>>747515339I legitimately don't see them almost ever, once I get to Plat3 and above.Punishing them won't change things. It's a symptom of sweaty tryhards that aren't nearly as good as they think they are. It happens across all games, MOBAs or not, and is just the ass-end of the human condition.I still think it should get you banned from entering any ranked game, though. It's fucking annoying seeing it at the start of every season.
GenG is fucking washed
>>747514707God I loved playing this mother fucker so much
>>747515706We all know what must happen
Good old memories
>>747513072>can't position for shitwhich is funny since you play more cho that gall3/10 cuz at less you have the slug (though since the rework is falling from fun character to just a nuker of keeps)>>747514564>genji at 20 and as a favoritethis disgust me on a spitual levelbut the rest is pretty solid and cant dunk on someone with illidan that high so i gonna give it a 7/10
>>747513748Yeah well, I hate nu blizzard too, but I still play hots from time to time, it's fun. Have fun with murky pal, it's hilarious making both teams seethe with him
>>747515706If it is done, let's make sure it is a proper one
>>747494841I stopped playing this game when Deathwing came out. He instantly became my favorite character, to the exclusion of all others, but after like a month I realized I was enjoying playing the character that is refusing to play a multiplayer game, and is playing a single player game by himself, while interacting with as few of the game's own mechanics as possible, and I realized I just didn't want to play Hots anymore. No idea what has happened since. I imagine like all things, it turned to shit.
she is so short
>>747514565Yrel looks pretty bad though it's really just a design issue. For some reason they decided to make a fucking draenei short and stocky...
>>747516272out of 10

>>747514707cheers! love
>the first new hero of the 20s is ANOTHER ranged damage dealerSeriously? Why is Blizzard so tone-deaf?
I wish normal draft wasn't dead in this game. Quick play sucks and I don't want to tryhard ASSFAGGOTS in ranked
>>747513072oh shit, i need to remember my battle net account, i had all the heroes i hope i didnt lose it
>>747516738Good news! It was completely removed from the game some few months ago. Enjoy...?
>>747516272I thought she was legit very fun and cool despite being a fucking OC Donut steel in a damn crossover titleI guess it's the power of the Venom symbiote
>>747516146They reworked Deathwing. It's fucking awful.He also used to be one of my favorites. Now it's like walking your dog after they got paralyzed.>What if, and hear me out, we make him have LESS buttons, and has to press them half as much?
>>747516738Just play ranked like you would play draft, whoever gets mad would get mad anyways
>>747516808I mean it was totally dead anyway. I can remember trying to find a game for 20 minutes and quitting the queue last time I tried
>>747516979That's a fairly recent matchmaking server bug. If you requeue, it fixes itself.Whenever it goes over its expected time by two minutes, I requeue and it usually pops fairly quickly.
>>747516847At least she had an actual connection in-game, the other one that was just like "well we don't actually have any black women to adapt into the game so we'll just make up one"
>>747516847She's cool yeah. Qhira was pretty lame and put an end to Nexus characters quickly.There's a low hanging fruit with Qhira that a lot of people would point out but she honestly really missed the mark following up Orphea. Orphea is tied to iconic HotS lore and doesn't fit in with any Blizzard property but Qhira isn't tied to anything and just looks like a Diablo character.
>>747516854Makes sense. My first main was Asmodan but they reworked him from artillery piece/weird lane pusher to generic dps, too, so I dropped him.Glad I missed that happening to Deathwing.
>>747494841Is there any hope for my nigga Akama getting in?
>>747515953i got a murky game and did murky things, 1 on 1 valeera and it felt great... just did an aba game and ... it did not go well. thrall afkd at the beginning and i spent so much time repositioning cos of tyrande and valeera...
>>747497454>>747517748Akama could be badass. I'm imagining a stealthed tank.
>>747517748Yeah after like 378 other WoW characters that matter more than him
*throws spiders*
>>747516579you definetely seems to like doing one thing with all your brain power and the rest the team can figure it out (combo, iniciation, or the healing bean of morales)>Upset because a tryhard hero is at level 20no you turbo retard, that the problem. ciber weeb only thing is go in and either:Get one kill that he didn't do jackshit to get low in the first place (so worst tracer, and that a low bar already)Or get gangbang for being horrible out of posicion because he didn't get the refresh in the Egenji is what you think a tryhard will pick but in reality is pick by KDA rotbrains to pat they killsis murky for people that don't want to soak or one shot overconfident assasins
>>74751787010 death zul'jin, sounds like hots alright. Not bad man, did you have fun?>>747518036aieeeeeee
I like Heroes because it gets into the action fast.I also hate it because some of the objectives genuinely force you AWAY from the action.And yes, sometimes I just want to win (or lose) the old fashion way, not because the enemy team hit me with some extra pirate coins.Like, yes, if my team is behind then I can't compete with you for objectives in like 5 different 1v1s.
>>747518113>did you have fun?
>>747494841I quit Blizzard a ling time ago, once I realized that they were a bad company. But HoTS coming back is almost enough to actually make me reconsider redownloading that godforsaken launcher. The only thing that would truly sweeten the deal is if they had an, "Ultimate God Pack", like SMITE had, that would unlock all characters for free forever.
>>747517748We know there's one more hero after xalatath, after that who knows, the new blizzcon mount flavor text (>>747512596) seems to imply that blizzard plans to resume hots development for real so we might get a consistent hero release scheduleSo the chance is not 0%
>>747518290I'm glad. You could also try other heroes you haven't tried before, like Deckard, he's one of my favorites
>>747518036Covered with spiders! Covered with spiders!
>>747518387how many heroes per year would be fine? 2 would be more than enough for me, and I wouldn't mind just one a year.
This image might actually get a new update I thought I'd never see the day
HOTS players DO know that the current Whitemane model is on borrowed time, yes?You won't complain when it happens now that I've warned you, yes?

Janitor face revealWhat a handsome lad
>we managed to meme HotS back into getting actual content
>>747521081She has been made by the skeleton crew that has been updating the game the last 2 years, blizzard didn't pour any new resources into the game yet.There's a good chance they didn't even know how to model and animate and had to learn for this
>>747521736So it's a fan mod we have to pay for. And we're excited about it?
>>747514565The budget is clearly the problem yep uh-huh
>>747513072Mal'ganis and be a spooky (forma de) raidboss.
>>747521823>payHave you ever played this game?
After that fail aba game i went stukov and man its fun slapping genjis, also used my mega push to kill like 3 people at seperate times, fuck u kaelthas.Then good ol stitches, 0 deaths full spead ahead!Im having fun with a moba again and i did not know it was hots that i needed back.
I guess I could go back to getting all the gold
>>747521823Pretty sure the paid version is mostly for the standard marked up skin. Any active HotS player at this point has so much in-game currency that they could get her for free in game at a triple mark up from the standard hero cost.
>>747522406can I afford her?
>>747521221I thought he was an indian from microsoft...
>>747521081The animation lead has moved to Riot years before the milkpocalypse. She was at least 70% of the reason there's stuff like >>747516580 in the game. I remember there being an old Blizzcon interview from 2017 where she says that when they were making Alexstraza she was actually providing herself for movement reference on how to make her move sultrier than the animation team was making her originally, but i can't seem to find the full thing, only the one where she gets cut off as she begins to talk about that.
>>747522648mmm
>>747522749So that who was the base for Alex
>>747521823Are you stupid?
>>747520158One one case that's absolutely on the table because it's fucking blizzardOn the other - we've had Valeera with pants in Hearthstone for years and she's still her usual self in HOTS despite the card happening during the Blizzards Fruit paintings cleansing, AFAIK. So there's a surprisingly equal chance it's just a tweak for WC3 because ???? A modeller got scared of a thigh or something?
>>747523113>One one casefor fucks sake, i really need to sleep. *ON ONE HAND
>>747520158Doubt they will ever get the resources to remodel herIt's like SWTOR, forever frozen in time with an occasional pittance of (shitty) new content added
right, im off to sleep, twas great playing hots again, enjoy the game everyone, and don't forget the most important rule.always bully kael thas
Nazeebo players deserve bullying the most, especially on ARAM
reminder that HOTS Chromie outright confirms that She's 100% female and all the "-Normu=Male name" bullshit was people being retarded, years before the faggot writer put her into the tranny list.
ok, fine, I installed it againtime to be a healslut after all these years, maybe I will even win a match
I'm Murky.
Have you watched the Hots chinese "anime"?used to be on youtube but is gone.right now I just have like half the episodes
>>747525939I remember seeing this, and it was surprisingly OK, once you got used to the artstyle.
>>747510142I really like her voice. From her looks you'd think she has the typical wakanda kangz voice but she's pretty normal.
>blizzdrones the moment they get some crumbs tossed their way
Saying there is one new hero coming and then teasing (not confirming) a couple more down the line is not really reviving HOTS. It's really bizarre to see people act like Blizzard are returning to it and giving it attention - they're not! I mean, I know fans have been endlessly abused and what they did to the game was wrong...but you have to realize it is never coming back.The game needs an actual injection of content - new maps and modes, and that is never coming. The game is still 100% dead.
This is awesome but ngl I don't have much confidence we'll get more than these 2 heroes before it goes back to maintenance mode. But who knows, maybe player count will increase enough to make Blizzard reconsider doing more. I just think the wording is way too careful like they don't want people too excited.
chain the dog mid jump
>>747526804I caught a Tracer the moment her recall ended with a TRANSGRESSIONSIt felt like the ending of Riddick 2
>>747526771The new hero looks like it was made by the C team. D team even.I think this is just a group of devs who grew up on HotS wanting to work on it for a bit.Zero hope for fhe future of the game desu.
Why did GenG half ass prep for the show match?
>>747526619>The game is still 100% dead.Objectivity untrueif you want to say 90%, maybe. But this is actual new content that isn't just balance tweaks
LOVE to spinsimple asalso i bought everyone except butcher because only troglodytes play him
>>747520440I was getting bored and didn't finish Starcraft.
Is there a reason they are going back to Hots? If they don't actually make non-moba gamemodes outside of brawl I don't see how people will go back to it.
>>747520123>my editWarms my heart
>>747524672and I won my first match, I guess it's time to play this 24/7 for the next week
>december 2018 was my last loginHas it really been so long...
>Aram>Buddy and I in vc doubleteaming the enemy team since we both got Muradin>One dwarf jumps out the other dwarf jumps in>Imagine the Muradins high fiving each other as they fly passThe best fucking hero in the game and it's not even close
>>747516129>>747515706>>747516129Do it yourself
>>747515706just create a hots thread on /vm/, the board is slow so it will stay there forever/vg/ is a gacha board at this point
Do we have more announcements coming tomorrow
Make sure to claim the free bundle, it's free
>>747516540sure, but those whiffed skills usually invite the enemy team to play more aggressively to get into cc range of tanks. its a complicated equation usually.
>>747527036There was an interview earlier with the skeleton crew maintaining the game and they confirmed that this new hero has been 100% developed by them, that's why the animations and vfx look worse than the other heroesAt least blizzard acknowledged their efforts by letting them have a spot at blizzcon and they expressed intent to keep going so maybe they'll give them some more resources going forward if this one does well, I'd say there's more than enough room to be hopeful considering this game was considered completely dead just a year ago
>>747529168Where that
>>747529813In the hots section in the battlenet shot
>>747494841Is this the game with a character that had to be controlled by 2 players? That sounds really fun with a friend and absolutely agonizing with a rando
>>747529938Yeah, chogall. Also yes and yes
>>747528361lmao based ZJ
>>747529583HOTS does not bring in the money like the other games (because it is dead, because Blizzard willingly pulled the plug on it)It is a catch-22 situation, it can't really be fixed unless management commits to assigning a large team to the game and properly updating it. That won't happen, even though the president gave it token lip service ("I wouldn't even come to BlizzCon unless you had something for HotS, totes my favorite game ever amirite guys, I love you all!").This is a nice gesture but lets be honest, they're doing this as a cross-promotion for WoW. The game itself is a disposable vessel for transmitting that message.I love HotS and think it is the best MOBA ever, but it is fucking dead.
>>747530571It is objectively less dead today than it was yesterday, I'll keep huffing hopium
>>747522749A YO
>>747530705this, people are hyped because of the new hero announcement, there's a lot of players right now so if you want to come back to hots it's the right time
>>747529938HotS always had more interesting heroes than LoL champion which I always found really funny, not Dota 2 great but they at least tried to make their heroes stand out. LoL was just >Skillshot>skillshot CC>gap closerLost Vikings is no Chen or Meepo but LoL would never make that kind of Champ because it would literally break the game to have a champion with that much presence when played well
Orphea...
MORE OCs INCOMMING!!!
>>747495462>>747495525>We needed to dedicate resources to creating another model of this purple chick with her toes outBlizzard is the weirdest company I swear, they have no fucking idea what they are doing.
>>747532365See I actually wouldn't mind getting more ocs that have clear ties to the nexus lore like this or orphea, in moderation of courseI still have no idea where the fuck does qhira come from
>>747532365Queen of Dragonshire is already in game. They aren't going to add the realm lords.>>747532509Qhira was from undisclosed realm because they got forced to make a black chick for the diversity web. Could have just said she worked for Umojan and it would have been fine.

I’ll see YOU in the Nexus.
>>747529938I played a bunch of cho'gall with randos in ranked, it's funcoordinating really isn't that hard, but it is noticeable when your partner doesn't know the hero plus your other teammates will get big mad at the pick and may throw

I'm cautiously optimistic. I mean what's wrong with her face >>747504774 ?

>>747497047Right here nigga, blackthorne when?
>>747533538>spoileri assume matches with chogall are a 4v5 then? is he strong enough to compensate for having one less hero on your team?
>>747534559Not an excuse when they are charging full price for it.
>>747535685This is the second post in this thread complaining about the prize, do you even play the game or are you just shitposting? Heroes are free, you get them with ingame currency
>>747535380he has a shitload of HP if you choose the correct talents
>>747535942>Just slave away doing dailies, goy
>>747494841>new hero>still a chance for the great microsoft incursionI want to play as master cheef and wololo man
>>747535380simplified: you got cho, who's the "main" guy moving around and gall, who's a turret anchored to choso yea, you get one less body on the fieldas for strength: depends on the map, if it's too big it's obviously a big detrimentthe hero itself is pretty strong, but it's always kind of a comp and enemy comp questionthere's some strong synergies with other heroes, but also some strong counters
>>747535380If played correctly, they can be an absolute menace, requiring 3 or 4 people to deal withI've seen them wipe teams under certain circumstances
>>747536304Just play the game, you'll get it eventuallyIf you play ranked, your dailies get done no matter what they are
Yes I do dual wield as Varian, how could you tell?
>>747537635That's not the point. The point is that people should hold a multi-billion dollar company to at least some standards in regards to their production quality.

>>747538051Sure I'll do that, for the main products being worked on by dozens of people, not for the abandoned game being kept on maintenance mode by like 3 people who decided that they wanted to make something cool for the people still playing itShe looks good enough even if rough around the edges considering the circumstances

>>747540601YesNot my problem
>>747540601Anyone who's giving blizzard money in 2026 deserves to have their money taken away since they can't be trusted with it that's correct
>>747540636>>747540716You are still spending your time on a more inferior product than before.
>>747540875This isn't an overwatch hero or qhira, the game won't become worse due to her inclusion
>>747508113ToT
>>747530571>HOTS does not bring in the money like the other gamesIts because they don't want to commit to skins or collabs. If they were smart, they'd collab with Umamusume for mounts and Taiki as a Valla skin

>>747545494Ah, yes, who could imagine HotS without such icons like Jetpack Cat (Overwatch)?
You think anyone would mind if I queued straight into ranked after not playing for years? I think I generally remember how all of the maps work.

>>747545835I just queued with a dude that was dead-set on being a slapathur, until his fourth death after which he just stayed in the spawn and lived vicariously through his monstrosity.As long as you don't tell people, they will just assume you're another freshly returning player. There's a fuckton of you guys right now.
>>747546789His whole thing is fighting and war, and he's an archangel, meaning he's got the rank and clout to dress up if he wants.He wanted a helm to look fly, and so he wears one, to show off and be recognized by his enemies.He's also the 2nd to most corrupt of the big five, and he's a huge narcissist. Admittedly, he's still 'good,' but he's also 100% a prick to anyone that is lesser than him, i.e. everyone that's not God.
>>747540240>Telegraphed attack that actively slows her and can be interrupted by anythingI need this explained in detail because any time I play her she's a worse tank until Level 16
>>747547807Only stuns and sleeps interrupt her charge. Boops and repositions don't.Her trait reduces her instant charge active now, so you basically goad people into interrupting something your don't care about, like the bonk or the heal.Or stay charged in a bushYou can't out run goomba stomps at regular run speed, she'll just keep splatting you
>game dead>last 30 people playing are cancerous shitheadsSo no movement or 3.0 overhaul to really draw in new blood?We're really just going to slap in mary sue feet bitch and say we rezzed HotS?That's somehow more insulting that just leaving it alone.Plus, all of the old employees are gone or moved teams. No more fat titties and plump asses.You're getting manjaws and le quirk chungus mascots from here on out.
>>747495462does anyone actually give a flying fuck about this character? aren't there much more legendary and more popular characters? or does this simply satisfy zoomie foot fetish fans to try HOTS for the first time, and then drop it after a week?

They ever fix haunted mines or blackheart's bay to be better? both just felt like one side just destroying the other and there was just not much that could change that once it started.
HOLY SHITTIME TO PLAY SAMURO
>>747549790Haunted Mines is honestly worse, one team only needs 55 skulls to instantly finish the objective rather than all skulls needing to be collected, if youre behind its difficult to do anything about it because of how quick the objective can pop, 55 skulls doesnt even need to touch boss
>>747533207
>>747550018While I can see why you'd think that, I'm of the mind that it needed to be lowered, at least a good bit. Having to full-clear it took so much time that it was often not worth it.Less time in lane, less time to soak, or if everyone is in the mines, the team not in the mines could just take both forts for free if they were aware enough, then defend a golem as five. You're literally giving up experience and map presence to be in the mines.If they had all the skull-drops also drop exp orbs or something, that'd be something that would make the full clear worth it, but that's a path to snowballing very hard.
for me its water elemental jaina

Why the sudden resurrection of this dead game?Anybody have any insider news?
>>747556864game was actually doing really well when blizzard killed it covered dev costs and turned a profit, but blizzard wanted another overwatch scale of profit and it wasn't doing that so they killed it.I assume Microsoft told them to stop being retarded and do something with the game they killed that people are still playing.
>>747557020Just of many things Phil Spencer set in motion to not just sit on all that IP and existing games.
I'm happy that hots gets new development but xal looks pretty boring and it sounds like she has a mythic quest baked into her Trait so that will be shit for balanceAlso give me Mengks as an Olimar like character just with marines instead of pikmin

How much do you have saved up?
>>747557020Was it?I remember that it's doing fine, that's for sure. Definitely not losing money.But I don't remember it doing really well.
>>747557624The only thing that wasn't doing well was e-sports turn out
>>747557624It was many years ago but a few of the cut devs did say that the game was turning a profit that other studios would kill for in a live service. but blizzard only wanted overwatch or lol size income at that point.the only shit thing was the forced esports, because esports are gay and aids and even overwatch league failed.
>played last time 9 years agoUh, how good is Muradin now? I member playing him the most.

>>747559545It already destroyed the game once, so I sure hope not.
Gimme the Gul’dank rundown these days, so many people getting caught by double corruption back then.
They gave her an absolutely digusting tranny face
>>747559931That's nothing new. Just look how she looks in worlo cinematics.Bigger jaw than Arthas had in WC3 cover
>>747559931At this point the engine is really fucking old and I'd imagine the jeets hired for school credit to work on HotS aren't the best around.

>>747561714I had a coomer cho'gall in my last game, they both were just talking about getting a footjob from her
>>747545494Where the fuck are the pitlords and nagas, or any of the eredar lords, Kil'Jaeden/Archimonde?
>>747561956based
>>747561292It easy actually. Kiriko saved Overwatch with how much skins she sold.
>>747561907I heard they butchered most of the unique heroes, did they go back on those changes?
>>747562102The only unique heroes they really butchered is Tassadar and Gazlowe. Tassadar is now a damage dealer instead of shield support, Gazlowe is just very awkward brawler.
>>747562102You'll have to be more specific.Abathur and Chogal still play the same with their gimmicks.Though Abathur recently got a meme talent 'slapathur' that lets him stun heroes and buildings every 8 seconds.
>>747562013below jetpack cat
>>747562214I'd say tassadar rework was making him what he should have always been, because having THE high templar, a unit most known for its capacity of wiping out entire armies in a few seconds, be a shield support was definitely a questionable choice
>>747545494Leeroy Jenkins would be terrible. Imagine all the people who would pick him just to run into the enemy team all day
>xanax has overwatch autoattacksWhy is no one complaining about this, first new hero in 5 years and it's a containment breach of a mechanic no one likes
Probius should be reworked into a support.That is all.
>>747562214at least gazlowe is the best announcer in the game, tassadar doesn't even have that
Pre rework basketball Asmodan was more fun than after rework.
>>747495462I have no idea who that is, if this was Azshara or Vashj, or one of the pit lords I might consider going back to HotS, but nu-wow character might as well be from overwatch.
>>747563214Makes sense, it's very beginner friendly, something the first HotS character since 2020 will need to be successful.
>>747508092You can already use announcer pack for a character you play as:They usually just make a self referencing remark and return to business as usual
>>747514565animations gonna be worse as well since they lost their gigastacy animator to riot
>>747508092>>747563974>An impostor. Ji'nara! Dispose of this charlatan!
>play Yrel>just get to free heal yourself on cdWtf is this hero
>I gotta fight AND commentate?>That is a whole lot of BS..
>>747564549All heroes are busted in some wayThe game is just fun to play
>>747563091He was a rework of a sentry when it was in SC2 as an arcade product. which is even more bizarre.
>>747560541Marathon got added to overwatch?
>>747557624It consistently appeared in both Top Earner and Top Costs on the financial reports that used to come out.So while it made a ton of money, it cost most of that money to keep going.Compare to wow having one guy mess around in blender to come up with a new horse and outselling entire games.
>>747554913lel okay
Probably a cope but Xal's animations being so odd and stiff looking make sense. Bitch is an alien ghost using a corpse as a puppet. WoW devs went soft on her instead of leaning in to her being a freak.
>>747566145Wait she's a cthulhu squid remote controlling a elf corpse? Based
>>747545494>Jetpack cat is actually the name of the characterRight okay
Imagine if Hots could get WASD movement like League got.It would be the best PvP game ever, from little I recall it was the single desktop moba that felt the most like wow 3v3 arenas, lots of combat.Maybe Smite is similar but I have never tried it.
>>747494841I'm genuinely surprised it hadn't been EOS'd
>>747495525i'm sure 1 character every 10 years make me reinstall it
>>747561292>WHYshe is the
>>747567838If hots got a battlerite mode they could never tear me away from the game ever again
>>747521857love the balance of this game
>>747494841Why was I under the impression HotS had shut down completely?
>>747568296Blizzard hasn't even shut down warcraft 2. overwatch and warcraft rumble are the only things of theres they've ever EoS'd

The second character is Denathrius. They are also adding swimsuit costumes for Maiev, Yrel, Whitemane, Kaelthas, and Illidan.If the return performs well they are planning on adding Master Chief, Jack of Blades, Banjo, and Tj Combo

>>747564549She used to be ultra busted: top healer, damage, and tank at the same time.
>>747569712this new void bitch is meh, i'll go for the cute and fun space gote's horsecock.
>>747568404>are the only things of theres they've ever EoS'd
>>747569020>Has an army of EtherealsC'mon gimme Rafaam just so he can laugh maniacally when she tries to tell him what to do.
>>747563214The only reason its even a problem is auto attackers are weak. If Raynor was stronger, it clamp down on the Lucio and Tracer BS. The end result is the characters that work well against both of them are Mid tier characters like Chen and Varian.
I reinstalled but I haven't played in like 8 years and forgot what to do
>>747571575Play aram until muscle memory returns.
Isnt Xal's va also the dragon shrine announcer?
lets say the nest 3 heroes are from OverwatchHow fast are you quitting the game again?
>>747572118Depends on the characters. Not all the Overwatch characters are bad, just most of them. I'd take Reinhardt, Torb, hell maybe Sombra.Any Overwatch 2 character is probably an immediate quit though.
>>747572814>All the new overwatch characters are either chinkslop, anime feet porn model rips, or rivals knockoffsDo people that enjoy that shit even play HotS?
Can't wait for them to put prideflags in hots too, and start censoring old skins.
>>747570738Still seems a bit broken that you don't even have to hit the Q on anyone and you get the full heal every time.
>>747572118Honestly the Overwatch characters aren't that bad outside of maybe Tracer. They have more movement but a lot of them are just OK even with it and the ones that can be annoying. Genji basically has to play perfectly or they never get kills (can can't deal with any push which has gotten more common over time). The real issue is the Warcraft privilege. Samuro is worse than Tracer is because at least Tracer can die is she fucks up. Sam can cleanse CC. Falstad has the movement an OW hero wants with way better damage output. Valera can basically teleport to you and can 0-100 if there aren't healers. And lets not get into Hogger. Most likely any OW hero they add will be able to dart around but won't put out the numbers that actually wins games. Kiriko would be a decent addition but really they should do a Diablo hero next
>>747572814We already have Reinhardt.
>>747552732>They buffed this annoying piece of shit>It's allowed in ARAM for some reason
>>747551902i shouldve added that they also made the little guys much easier to kill, to the point where most supports could clear the entire mines themselves, overall the objective plays out more or less exactly how it used to when teams are even, but if one team falls behind they get put in a lose-lose scenario where they either ignore objective to deal with lane pressure only to get hosed by the golem, or fight over objective and get fucked on xp and camps
I have a very high end PC why does this game stutter and drop to 15 fps constantly in fights. I lowered the graphics, restarted, and it's WORSE somehow!!!The game feels so laggy and framey at all times. I've never had a game do this
>>747573413Gimme one of the shardborne, I want some resident evil knockoffs.
>>747563214says the no skill aiming bear
It would be fun if you could see the pilot in the portrait instead of the mecha, but don't know if that would be for the better.
>>747574563tinny goat
>>747574672Imagine tiny Yrel on your dick.
I remember Tyrande being pure sex in this game. Anyone have a webm of her ready/waiting to start stance?
I have only played Aram but players are way more toxic than in league. Every game I've seen a teammate complain or cry about something so far
>>747572118Only if they add V*nture. I can stomach any other OW2 hero and would outright welcome most OW1 ones (and a couple of OW2 ones, like Junker Queen, Anran or Ramattra).
>>747572118>tfw I get Reinhardt, D.mon, and DominaPicked the fuck up.
>>747574976Lifeweaver looks even more retarded.
>play tank>get team of 3 tanks and 2 healers>play mage>get team of 3 mages and 2 dpsThanks quickplay
So Hots is just getting a hero (or two) and that's it? Nothing else is being done?
>>747575153A second hero is supposedly coming soon as well. Seems they're testing the waters for a revival given Dota and League have declined.
>>747572118Monkey, Robo-Monk, and some coombait would be fine with me.
>>747575123At least he'd be another healer and he's ultimately a dude. V*nture would be another DPS hero and a tranny hero and a hero with an incredibly annoying personality. Not to mention xhe's possibly the only Overwatch character who's the unappealing kind of ugly, as opposed to appealing uggos like Moira.
>>747575153we've been getting steady balance patches for a while, few reworks, and some terrible looking skins, as well as all the old hgc and blizzcon skins and mounts that used to be exclusive. Foot fetish elf and the next hero show a marked increase in development compared to what we have been getting. Hopefully they don't overcommit and then re-shelve the game. A quarterly content patch would keep the game going for years and not bother budget concerns.
>>747557624Tournament killed it
>>747575223I'm new to league but it's absurd how alive it is in Europe.I have a friend who's master+ constantly on all his alts and that's basically 0.2% but in that group there's almost 100k fucking players lol. In his history he never queues with the same people and he keeps climbing towards grand master now.Everyone in that group decays fast to emerald or somethong so you know for sure those are hyper active players and that's just the 0.2%!
Doesn't the game actually have a decent playerbase still despite being on lifesupport for so long?
>>747564495>Ah, I see you are a true follow of The Highlord...>Carry on!I love him as the announcer so damn much.
>>747576173Correct, more or less. Prior to yesterday's announcement you had to wait 5 minutes at most for a match in EU or US, unless you were queueing for ranked in Grandmaster or Master.The playercount has already risen since the announcement, even though Xalalath isn't available yet.
>>747574712cockvore?
>>747572118As long as they don't pick boring characters like "Man with gun" or "Girl with gun" multiple times in a row.>Reinhardt, Brigitte, and ZenyattaNow we're talkin'!
>>747573971Oh, fuck, it's not just me?I thought it was just because I have some shit open in the background or something.HotS started eating up more of my CPU after no discernible patch for no real reason. Just one day it started taking 30% more CPU than before.No fucking idea why, but it stutters during fights sometimes and I've lost engagements because of it.
