FOOTFAGS WON EDITION>News: Heroes of the Storm is ALIVE!!PTR for Xal'atath patch is liveXal'atath is releasing on 2026-09-28
I was hoping there would be a thread up for this. First hero in nearly 6 years. There must be still be 3 of us here!

I wonder if Blizzard forgot him?
>>2946672>First hero in nearly 6 yearsHoly shit has it really been this long?
>>2948885>Hogger was released in Heroes of the Storm on December 1, 2020
>Man I wish Blizzard would update the game so people play again>ARAM is now full of map hackers and mouthbreathers (More so than usual)
I dropped this game back when they released d3 map and started pushing for e-sports shit.

The traversal is exactly the same you're just reducing time spent doing nothing.>individual performance not being individually rewarded is commie dogshitNot an argument>means the only reason to B is to healAssuming your fountain is on cooldown, correct. >so every game lasts til level 20+ and nothing before then matters because of all of the aboveGames can easily fiish before 20. Comeback mechanics reward smart play.>but not even close to "objectively the best"Your complete lack of any valid argument says otherwise.
Imagine being this desperate for crumbs for a kusoge that rightfully died.
Starcraft trailer gave me an itch to reinstall hots and play a lot of Raynor and Tychus
>>2953112Even with korean stutterstepping, Raynor remains a mid tier hero outranged by 70% of the roster
Hey this is me, your teammate for the game. I haven't played in 3 years. I came back because I heard the game was getting new stuff lol. Sorry for my 16 deaths lol. Wow they changed Yrel a lot!
>>2955361i do this
Absolute noob here. I made it to rank 25 and bought myself the assassins hero box how do I get in with any groups or play parties because the only blizznet friend I have has been offline for 3 years and I'd like to be in the company of longer players who'd be willign to scream at me what to do because I still feel like I only know a quarter of the heroes.
Why does the game randomly run like crap after not having played it in more than a year?
So...https://heroesofthestorm.blizzard.com/en-us/game/ranked-play/I wanted to try this game but even your in game links are dead anons
Repopulate the red dragonflight with Alexstrasza
Hello /hotsg/, it's good to see you again. I hope you have been well these past few years?With all these new and returning players I hope everyone has a great time.
Diablo heroes > Nexus heroes > Overwatch heroes > Warcraft heroes > Starcraft heroes
>>2965382Zeratul would like a word
>>2965382Abathur is the most unique and often impactful hero in the roster. Your ranking is wrong and invalidated.
>Hags of the Storm
Probius rework to make him a support when?
>>2965382diablo and starcraft have the most solid lineup
I've not played for years, have they change Tyrande any?Every time I've tried this game again they've changed her.
played when dev shut down. can't play this game without a streamer with a jew nose from throwing my game, just uninstalled
>>2970491https://nexus-patch-notes.github.io/heroes/tyrande.html
>daily mission>play 2 games as nexus or overwatch>none on free rotationPoor design.
>>2973847You can get one in ARAM, but yeah.
>>2973847You can just play with someone else who has it.
>>2965526No idea who she is but my dick wants to impregnate her
>>2946334hotsg is back!?!?!?!?
The free 1-month stim from Blizzcon has been a disaster for game quality. So many returning players with the skill of a toddler who run into towers and average double digit deaths in a 15-minute ARAM.
>>2987498I'm gonna play my first game in 6 years now, you better not queue
kek the general chat in this is amazing, completely unmoderated
>>2988031indeed, its always fun. peoples unfiltered insanity is great.any hots players today? Just queued into ranked, got my first drink and ready to feed.
look guys, I met an eceleb! we got fucked!
>>2989861Very cool
how can you not love hots? lmao
>>2965526feeta of the storm.......
>>2990403its like a time capsule from a better time >>>/wsg/6242470
Post your stats. Lifetime and all game modes, no hiding anything!
Are we back?
>>2994639Can't, I've been banned too often for "abusive text chat" even though I have chat disabled. That's when I knew this crap was automated, and I stopped caring. Only play on smurfs these days
>>2995526no. it'll be dead within a week
>Grubby is defending the p2w 8 dollar hero costHe's the biggest blizzard shill there is
Anyone else unable to log in on EU? Says that Blizzard services are temporarily unavailable.
>>2998401Planned maintenance
>>2998432How long is it going to last? It was supposed to end at 18:00 CEST.
>p2w heroYeah blizzard is attempting to sabotage this game yet again, it's amazing how much they hate their own product.That or they are just that greedy and incompetent, which is even more likely.
Do your duty and pay up. It is your responsibility to prove product is sustainable. Do not disappoint current holding company.
This lag on EU is atrocious, do we have more players than the servers can handle?
Xal is obscenely overpowered. They did a great job. Make a character to I guess show you’re still developing the game, but make her so OP that every match is now 100% determined by who has the better Xal’atath which will be great for making everyone just not even log in. Great stuff.
>>2998865Every new character is overtuned on release. Does anyone have that webm of release Kael? And he wasn't even the worst offender.
Im genuinely shocked how half assed this new hero is and they expect 8$ for this shit>mini map symbol has a black cross>character portrait looks like ass>poor animations >generic voice lines>most p2w character since li ming>no announcer and not even reskinsthey couldnt even be fucked to hire an artist to do a few reskins in an afternoon but ask 30$ for the bundle fucking kikes
>>2998983Blizzard is an awful fucking company.
>>2998335Most of the community is defending it and understandably so.
>>2998865>no hard CC>no self-sustain>no game-changing RShe's fine.
>>2946708you forgot>blatant EOMM serving you 4 hot potatoes
>>2999661Meds. Now.
Xal can attack while moving. I can see that being annoying in rare cases where you'd have to press H to hold fire but it's obviously strong otherwise. 6.5 range too.D is basically a 4th ability and it doesn't interrupt her attacking.Orb R is the highest damage (875) ult at max channeling, beating Pyroblast.Some awkwardness in how Q+W have to be combo'd and how unintuitive E is unless you use it as a quick dash.Lots of damage and you can talent for a bit of disruption but no self-sustain and crappy defensive talents.
>keep zoning out Xally as Chromie or Arty She doesn't feel special. A bit over designed ability wise but that's it. Doesn't feel nearly as nightmarish as like, release Li MingAlso compare her minimap icon and chat icon to all others. All the little inconsistencies with her are stupid funny
Honestly this game is/was pretty well made, it was really for blizzard to just drop its development like that
>>2994639
>quit Blizzard everything 5 years ago>hots was still fun to the end at least>reinstall with a friend just to kill Xal>doesn't rape me or remind me of OP hero releases back in the dayI still think Xalatath is overtuned numbers wise, but the current crop of players willing to buy in to her just seem to suck ass on averageYeah I ain't paying real money for that shit. Only here as long as the 30 day boost lastsAlso holy fuck they beat my boy Zul'jin with a hammer while I was gone. Losing so many axe stacks on death is devastating. Only time I felt useless replaying was with Zul'jin if I had any early deaths
>mfw people whine on the first day they cant get the new hero for freeI never expected another one, nvm that its less than two serving of fries at macces or some shit.Support this game now and they MIGHT not kill it instantly.Anyway, is her summon a minion talent for E bugged? this thing just doesnt show up half the time I E
>>3002787I don't want them to support the game. The best version of this game is when they abandoned it. The balance was stable and the only people playing were those that enjoyed it.The quality in ARAM has dropped dramatically I just play SL now.
>>3002946Sorry, braindamaged retards opinion not welcome. >The quality in ARAM has dropped dramatically
>>3002946>The quality in ARAMDude it's fucking ARAM lmao, who cares about quality
>>2999942Add Rokhan/Shadow-Hunter.
Annoying heroes slowly killed this game, they need to rework half the roster to not disable you for 10 years.
>>3003521whiny bitches ruined this game that means (((you)))
>>2999942Someone post the Garrosh 'dark day in horde history' cap. I lost it
>>3003052>>3002955Your complete inability to address what I said speaks volumes. With ranking, the only way you're going to get quality games is with a smaller dedicated playerbase playing because it's not a fad.There are objectively more clueless visitors playing and the quality of games has dropped. I'm sorry that me being objectively correct offends you.
Without*
>>3003521>using a bottom tier one trick pony melee assassin for your argument
>>3003669only a retard wants the game to stay dormant and unchanged. the game is still only people that play it because they love, theres between 50 - 150 in the all chat depending on the day. thats nothing.
>>3003680>only a retard wants the game to stay dormant and unchanged.Based on what? Theres no guarantee updates make the game better or retain players. The bug fixes from the janny are welcome, but the character and balance changes haven't been recieved well at all. >theres between 50 - 150 in the all chat depending on the day. thats nothingGeneral chat is capped and instanced you massive retard
>>3003531>>3003679>Don't suggest a way to address the problemswhere are your ideas, saying it's fine the way it is is literally the wrong answer, the game was dead and will die again if players don't have fun.
I fucking hate that game it's insane but I'm addicted.You die or kill everybody all game yet your character doesn't feel any stronger or weaker because it's an friendship lalaland game.It's so slow paced that you have time to get a drink before you see an attack reach your hero but because your hero take so long to move you can't dodge it and watch it die in slow moPeople are absolutely retarded and can't get on objectives on time or damage an enemy who pushed too far and focus the tank instead because "tank 3/4 hp but healer full hp no good"Also this new hero face look like a tranny and you know it's a developper who put himself in the game with this DEI purple.
Xal is just casually topping damage every single match unless they’re functionally AFK. I’m not even bothering to log in until they fix her. It’s a complete joke.
>retard is defending no content/updates for hotsactual braindead holy shit
>kill Xal'atath>she stops doing damageIt's that fucking simple
>>3004057You lost the argument so bad you're terrified of replying to me directly. Save some dignity and don't bother replying next time.
>>3003874I haven't been impressed by the Xal players I've met in ARAM, and she should thrive against drafts that don't always counter her.She has no self-sustain and her E should be saved for an escape, so that's always going to keep her in check.That being said, her D is probably too strong right now and stacking too easily. I expect that's the first thing that's going to get nerfed.
If you were the one to decide how much a new hero would cost, in money and not gems, how much would you charge? Eight bucks seems that such an abstract number. Not five or ten - a nice round number - but eight?>And, yes, it needs to be actual money, since anyone that played HotS while it was on maintenance has thousand of gems and hundreds of thousands of gold just sitting in their account.
speaking of xalhttps://wetpussygames.com/adult-games/voidlust.html
>>3004719I'd put it out for free as an apology for abandoning the game, getting rid of the team that knew what they were doing, and for using Indian sweatshops to make Xals assets.
>>3004995>futa
>>3004719>And, yes, it needs to be actual money, since anyone that played HotS while it was on maintenance has thousand of gems and hundreds of thousands of gold just sitting in their account.So what?
>>3004719Special case. I'm working with an undead game. If I'm not roleplaying a braindead corporate drone I'd use this opportunity to pull in as many as I could. Xal is bait, I want them to buy the other 5000 products already developed ingame. I want them to buy the dilapidated warehouse I already paid for, not just the new package.0 dollars and new players get her for free. Then I cut the price of the entire roster. 4k becomes the new standard max. Because gold has become irrelevant with no content released for 6 years and new players don't care for the farming. Anyone I catch in the net will get flooded with endorphins as they unlock new heroes constantly. And I boost my undead zero maintenance game into relevance for 8 more years and I continue milking.
>>2973847Playing ranked increments the "play matches as [x]" quests regardless of which character you're playing as.
>>3003874I just blow her up. She can't escape worth shit and so many people ignore her for some reason. She gets the fire bomb like everyone else.
>>3010297>She can't escape worth shitHer teleport is instant, has larger distance than Falstad's dash, can be cancelled right after the first warp and can be talented into at lvl 1 to give her movement speed. What kind of players are you playing against?
>>3010419Ones who keep teleporting into the Flamestrike for some god damned reason.
would it be appropriate to marry a hots character?
I'm trying to imagine a Xal played perfectly, and I think she can be hard to punish given how strong a backward E is. No CC or point and click damage means E can't really be punished, but that's every hero. Draft CC to win.That being said her Q is short range and W does little unless it explodes on something marked by Q. So playing her at a safe range neuters the hero's damage, unlike a Chromie or a glass cannon W Ming. Nothing uniquely unfair here.Her Rs are also a DPS loss because of the 2s channeling time. The level 20 Void Eruption upgrade is however genuinely disgusting and needs a nerf. It's zoning, insane damage over time, insane burst, and it basically resets cooldown if it catches 3 heroes.
>>3012024xalatath played perfectly kills with stacked trait. her Q & W are for softening targets for killing D.20 upgrade for Orb Ult is insanely broken, personally I wouldnt sleep on portal ult. Its very versatile, can push like a motherfucker and is excellent for taking bosses as long as you bait the stomp yourself. also has an excellent upgrade at 20 for large maps.shes an insane teamfighter anyway, with a very underestimated push for most lobbies
I made an ARAM meme, please pick up the globe

>Try to have have chill game with bro >He keeps getting in flame wars with randoms This is on me, I should have known that MOBAS were not games we can relax with after he refused to turn off chat
Ive fond memories of playing hotsDoes the game still have casual players? I'm aware they added a new hero but I despise WoW's storyline after Legion so I don't like her.
>>3003874There is some mental retardation in the player base. Their brain doesn't register they are standing in front of a burst mage. They need to learn it through experience and several dozen lost games. Just like with Li Ming or Chromie, I don't stand still and let Xal blow me. I save myself for Azmodan and his balls.
>>3018708One could argue that casuals are all that's left of the playerbase. I'd consider myself a casual if it weren't for the fact I'd consistently reach high diamond by doing advanced things like soaking or showing up to objectives. Anyway, I kinda stopped playing ranked after realizing even diamond players were monkeys who couldn't be trusted to do these things half the time.
>>3018772>advanced things like soaking or showing up to objectivesCalm the fuck down there Einstein the camp on the other side of the map just respawned
>just soak because beating up little people feels good>just take merc camps for free globes to eat>just show up at objectives because fun guaranteed team fight>follow the path of most resistance for fun fighting all the way to the core>score high Plat whenever I tried storm leagueThis game always felt simple for me. Simple and fun. I don't have to worry about 20 different fucking things and can just focus on team fighting

Nerfed already lol.Hey everyone,We just pushed live a hotfix with Xal'atath balance changes.https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/article/24303007/heroes-of-the-storm-live-patch-notes-september-28-2026Xal'atath Balance UpdatesAbilities Shadow Mark (Q) Void Orb speed slightly increased Void Step (E) Targeting range reduced from 5 to 2. Distance between teleport points reduced from 7 to 6.5. Now prevented and interrupted by Immobilize. Void Volley (D) Base damage per missile reduced from 90 to 72. Now generates 1 charge for every Basic Attack against enemy Heroes and every 2 Basic Attacks against non-Heroes. Void Eruption (R) Uncharged damage reduced by 20%. Fully charged damage reduced by 5%.Talents Level 1 Anchored Core Radius bonus reduced from 50% to 25%. Level 4 Dark Barrier Now only triggers when enemy Heroes are hit Level 7 Silence of the Lamb Silence duration increased from 1 to 1.5 seconds. Level 13 Dark Heart's Protection Detonating the Dark Heart on a target affected by Shadow Mark now Silences all enemies hit. Previously silenced on cast. Level 20 Rift Invasion Portals now have non-lethal Health decay, stopping at 4 Health.
>>3025757They should've just completely removed her quest on D as the sole change.
Xal's new E baby dash is pathetic. Pathetic!!

>>3027567boobs
Another evening spent griefing SM
>>3025757what is up with the lvl 20 portal upgrade nerf? I dont get that one at all
>>3029003The portal now decays to 1 hp. It can still push a lane indefinitely but any hit will destroy it.
>>3029016yes but WHY? dont think its worth 2 talents points now, nvm a lvl 20 one
>>3029044I guess they wanted to avoid a Probius Gate Keeper situation where you have 6 void minions in your face constantly and heroes that lack a long range ability or a global can't counter the pylons/portals.
>>3029066but the idea of the upgrade is that they HAVE to close it. ah well, was a fun time while it lasted.
>>3029110Probably because she can hold two lanes entirely down with the portals. This just means that they have a better chance with it.
Fall event 2018... SOVL....
how do you deal with supp playing uther, not stunning and not healing? feels hopeless
>>3031691I mean its the same as a damage dealer not damaging and a tank not tanking. You internally rage and move on after the loss.
>>3031691https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoLGALAC0pk
>>2946708Problem I've had is that one team just stomps the other team and you either get destroyed or play a non fun game against bots
>>3033705Play ranked
>>3031123I was there, when they did their first event. Good times.
It's crazy how when I stopped playing tank and support my enjoyment of the game skyrocketed even when I lose
>>3033777I don't wanna wait 30 min for one game.Is ranked really better? Been a while since I played it
I think I'm shadow banned. I type things in general chat but ni one responds to my messages

>>3037749Just tried a couple ranked games and yep it's still a stomp one wayHave fun with this garbage
>>3034051But tank is one of the most fun roles. Have you even played Muradin?
>>3034051But tank is one of the most fun roles. Have you even played Garrosh and thrown someone into an Aba landmine or a boss's wind-up attack?
>>3039087Proof?
Xallys Dark Heart explision mechanic is fundamentally broken, with the nerfs its getting ridiculous. this shit moves at my grandmas speed and STOPS CHASING THE MARK if LoS is broken. what a piece of shit
>>3034051But support is one of the most fun roles. Have you even played Stukov and pushed a dive man across the map into your core to die alone?
>>3039576No
Ive decided Im going to learn Alarak in QM. Any pointers?
>>3044301Trait means you should obviously be spending your time murdering heroes and not PvE-ing, though your auto damage is fairly high, so sieging is acceptable when there's nothing to murder.Q should probably be quickcast. It's T-shaped so you can punish heroes that try to step to your side too.W has a ~0.3s daze (basically a stun). This can interrupt stationed channeled abilities like Mosh. Alt+W is your dash/escape toward your cursor. It's probably the ability that takes the longest to fully master with so just memorize the range and practice. Most players don't respect Alarak's range and you should punish them with an immediate W+Q.E is your sustain/long-range poke.R should be Counter-Strike 90% of the time, Deadly Charge only if your team sets up.Builds are fairly intuitive, either pick all Q talents if you want to murder melee, or stick to the safer E build and start scaling for late-game dominance. 13 and 20 are situational, though I'd stick to the safe Pure Malice and Wrath.
>>3044414>Alt+W is your dash/escape toward your cursor.Never mind. It's in the direction Alarak is facing, I misremembered.
>>3044414>Alt+W is your dash/escape toward your cursor.good advice. this is my ping button so Ill be constantly pinging I guess ... xD>R should be Counter-Strike 90% of the timeI figured, deadly charge is VERY tempting in a lot of QMs, especially since I always take the talent for both ults at 20 currently.My biggest hurdles are not running to clear when my team is ignoring the map again as I do on most heroes and realizing matchup mechanics. heres to hoping experience will help with this ...
They're still whining about Xally's damage, lol. Damage is all she has. Nerf that and you might as well delete the hero that some spent 8 bucks on.
Can I play Stitches as a damaging hero?
>>3034343bots
I'm uninstalling after 3 games again, It really sucks. There's actually nothing to play until forever drops.
>>3034051My personal rule always comes back to not playing healer in ranked. Tank preferably not. I have done my dues. You are at the mercy of the matchmaker and when it is time to even your winrate you feel it. Healing doesn't mean anything when the rest of your team eats every skillshot it can find on the map.
>>3047406Based. The "support" icon stands for "I only play Abathur" not that I will heal for you.
>>3046805He's a serviceable off-laner and, in a pinch, he does have a damage build, but you shouldn't pick him for the purposes of a damage dealer.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaand the game is dead again
>>3047206Good. All you visitors have ruined this game.
>>3046805Everything is possible in QM.
>try Xally's level 20 R against dummies>16k damage (20k+ with some angles) across 4 heroesWho balanced this?
>>3051908Just don't stand in it you retard
>Nazeebo on enemy team>Goes for toad build against a team of ranged assassinsOh, golly gee, how silly of him! That should never work out~>The entire time my team is running into toads, trying to chase him and walking into zombie walls>Or just waiting for them to get big, and THEN trying to chase him through them>While also making sure to attack the Zarya bubblesIs there a parallel universe where players can learn from their mistakes?>>3044301Play cautious, but not like a pussy. You want to be aggressive when you can, but not reckless. It's a balancing act, but you want to more aggressive than passive.His Q build focuses on buffing his close range burst and physical attacking prowess. His W is focused on pulling enemies and setting your team up for good engagements. His E build is a slow burn that can throw out big damage.His autoattacks have a very short startup and recovery time, so you can stutter-step weave them into his fights.Your bread and butter is to W(telekinesis) someone into his Q(Discord Strike) and wail on them while they can't fight back.Your E(lightning) is your poke and sustain. While it can be talented to become absolutely crucial, it's his most modest ability out the gate.His R's are both great, but I prefer Deadly Charge, since it allows you to be that aggressive Alarak that swoops in for a surprise 700 damage. Counterstrike is great for countering melee dive comps, since the AoE is fucking massive and it keeps you safer from the dive damage which WILL be targeting you most of the time.Also saves you from Pyroblast and the like. Any hero on the enemy team that has a big 'fuck you' R, you might want to wait on picking your own R to see if they go for the ability that they intend to target you with.Never go for Rite of Rak'shir. It's a win-more talent. It's a trap and can cost you the game since it can take longer to stack.Pure Malice can be the best if your team sucks, and you doing 40% more damage could win the day.
>>3050244They came back and remembered why the fuck they left.
>>3050244Maybe they shouldn't have spearheaded their long awaited revival with a p2w hero
>Another teammate crashed out in ARAM again Why do people go to the 'chaos zone with no balance' and then complain about the abundance of chaos and lack of balance?
>>3052116>Never go for Rite of Rak'shir.disagree if they have someone you can absolutely milk for sadism
>>3054669It's still a win-more talent. If they have bad players you can milk, Blade of the Highlord gets you your sadism, faster, even if it has a limit of 40%. Then there's Pure Malice which is legitimately one of the best talents in the entire game for making a comeback.If you're not able to control the game with 170% (or 190% with Show of Force) then it's not going to happen at 210%.Rite is for having fun, a lot of fun, but if he's just starting then I don't want to him him be the guy that takes Rite and never gets anything from it, like 95% of the Alaraks in QM.>not actually mad, but it's the most relevant Alarak picture I have

warcraft does not need ANY new representation in this gameaside from finishing up gelbin mekkatorque there should never be any new warcraft content again
I wanna see more original characters like Orphea and Quira. Would give the devs. ideas that may not fit any Blizzard character lorewise.
>>3074276I fight for the Nesus!>>3074635That's risky business. Iconic characters sell, or would sell if people actually had to buy gems after this long of a hiatus, better with the recognition, and only 50% of the original donut steels were well received and enjoyable.Which is a shame, since Qhira is fun to play, but then I have to listen to Qhira's bland voicelines instead of anything interesting.
>>3074878I still wanna have all the remaining Warcraft III heroes to be added.Rohkan - Shadow HunterCairne - Tauren ChieftainLaddy Vashj - Naga Sea WitchMannoroth or Magtheridon - Pit Lord
I can usually see what a hero was going for, or what kind of autist is going to main that hero for years and stubbornly never swap, but I don't see that with Xally, she just has good damage and a big fuck you R at 20 but she doesn't really have an enjoyable niche imo.

>>3074574>there should never be any new warcraft content againThey kind of already blew their load with Starcraft, and Diablo, aside from one or two apiece. Baal, the Mengsks, The Overmind, and other never-evers.If you take the biggest IP off the table, all we'll have left is Overwatch, and they were asking at Blizzcon if people wanted them to add 3 Overwatch heroes that were released in 2026.Reinhardt, not putting that nobody into HotS without some divine intervention, but truly 100% iconic characters like fuckin' Jetpack Cat were on that list.
>>3076807>Jetpack CatRienhart seen interesting in how their going to add him into the game, but do you have the pic for the new heroes suggestion at blizzcon?
>>3076956It was a questionnaire on the computers there. There's an image floating around from over the left shoulder of a guy, but I didn't save the better picture.Best I can do is the full list: Winston, Kiriko, Mizuki, Jetpack Cat, Leeroy Jenkins, Blackthorne, Selendis, Fernam, Lorthermar and Harth Stonebrew. Oh which I could only imagine Selendis, Kiriko, Harth, and Fernam being good.Blackthorne would be the most kino never-ever there ever was, but he doesn't really have much in the way of stuff he does aside from shotgun and taking cover.
>back to pre-xalatath numbersgrim
>>3076807>Baal, the Mengsks, The Overmind,and Selendis (supposedly partially done prior to life support), Lilith, Itherael, the other 3 lesser evils, D4 Druid. StarCraft indeed has few more characters to add, but Diablo has plenty.Plus, out of legacy series, there are Blackthorne, Tomator, maybe some Rock and Roll Racing rep.All without touching Overwatch or any upcoming SC/Diablo games.Literally anything would be better than a new Warcraft hero #45.
>>3078016>viewer numbersthis is an image of you
>>3078615>D4 DruidWould rather have his D2 look.
Is HoTS worth picking up for a complete newfag and is it even still alive? I've gotten bored of Smite 2.
>>3078990Yes it's pretty good for the most part.>Smite 2Nice, I played the fuck out of the first one, mained Sun Wukong, Rama, and Ao Kuang. This game is very different, just so you know. There's not many transferable skills.
>>3078990Id say give it a trythe biggest problem for new players is the stupid character unlock system and I honestly wish they would just get rid of itbefore unlocking a dud you can try out every character through the shop
>>3078990Honestly at this point, no. Community is so tiny that many games are just top players smurfing. Search the leaderboards and see how many are just new accounts that stomped to the top.
>>3078990I think Blizzard are surprised by how much people continued playing despite it being in maint mode. I don't know why the fuck they haven't added a battle pass to monetize it.
>30day boost from blizzcon is gone>no reveal of this second hero yet to string me onGuess it's back to a coma for meI piled up like 40 loot boxes if new cosmetics get added
>>3078990If you're in EU or near, absolutely. Americas, still yes. Asia, however, will test your patience, from what I've heard.
>>3082613loot box content set when you obtain them
>my mid diamond acct has a 60% wr this season>my plat acct is at 48%It's probably because I flex into heroes I'm not as confident with on my plat account, but it FEELS like you're way more prone to having a griefer or just an actual glue eater in platI'm torn because I like playing lots of heroes but the diamond games have such a boost in quality it's insane
>>3083817You can stumble into plat by accident almost. It's no surprise that's the rank where you'll find the most "temporarily embarrassed" shitters and griefers.
>>3078896Bring them both. D2 druid gets Wereshape stuff and D4 gets the elemental.
>thread up for over a month>not a single post about AlexstraszaIt's over.
>>3092502What is there to say about her? Everyone agrees, that she's hot. I like her cleavage skin.I'm very surprised, Blizzard hasn't censored much on this game, considering the fruit paintings in WoW and Whitemane's covered legs in the newest Warcraft III expansion.
>>3092844>What is there to say about her?Her level 4 talents suck. Not a single one of them is fun to take.
>>3092907Exuberance is fun. Turns you into a healing Lunara.
>>3097649>You purposefully made 3027 games worse for everyone elseWhat drives a man to do that to his fellow human beings? Purple skin? Doe pussy? Legitimate sociopathic thoughts?
>>3097938
>>3092502>>3092844ugly face
>>3097938That's a r*dd*t*r.
>guy on my team said wtf>check scoreboard>he got muted after that>started pinging everythingwhy does this baby game even have chat lel
>>3101606this didn't happen
>>3103142Quite literally. Blizzards autobot isn't good enough to mute midgame.
Who are your Heroes of choice if you want to smack people with big autos in QM? Normally for me it's Zul'jin, Leoric, or an attempt at Wizened Duelist Greymane but I've been trying out Alarak with the Discord Strike build recently and it's a lot of fun, depending on the enemy team.

>>3105833Maiev. For some reason she has amazingly high autoattack damage and you weave them into her death pulls.
how the fuck do people control nova clones? and dont you dare say its impossible I simply dont believe itwhenever I play against one the clones act like actual fucking players, charging at me, juking or running away like the real dealyet whenever I place one they just stand around and sometimes dont even shoot when enemies are around
which one of you was it
>>3108798It's impossible to control them directly, but if you learn how they work then you can get them do do certain things. They will never break stealth to attack a minion wave, but will do to attack camps and heroes. The juking is standard bot stuff, they are great at that.
>>3105833Since Thralls COMPLETELY BALANCED REWORK that the Jannies gave him, I can hit a motherfucker for 1000+ damage, with the little heavy damage speech balloon accompanying it.It makes me feel dirty, and not in a good way.
outlasted another moba https://unite.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/unite-end-of-service/
>>3120953Good. Unite was pay to win trash, it deserved to die.
>>3120953There isn't a single online mobile game worth thinking about. Never has been, never will.

Just got MVP as Xally, so here are her feet.
More female tanks when?
>>3130060Whenever we can get Orisa in.
>>3130298Maybe OW1 Orisa, OW2 Orisa's kit seems more fitting for a bruiser.
Vibecoded private servers when?
>>3129381>got mvp with the most overpowered hero in the gamewow incredible achievement
>>3135356Trying. My working proof of concept allows multiple clients to connect and it stays in sync. Remember to keep a full backup of the current hots release. The main blocker is not having one of the more expensive Claude plans. I'm waiting for my token refresh.idk how to share progress if anyone wants to collaborate, I think it would be cute if we had our own little server to play in :3
>>3136885>I think it would be cute if we had our own little server to play in :3was gonna share my max, but not after you outed yourself. you talk like a troon looking for another discord or subreddit or nexusmods to moderate
>>3137267it's okay the work will continue because I love this stupid game too muchI'll still share the code and you can host your own sexism server if you wantI don't want to play with people who aren't cute in personality or behavior but I think everyone should get a chance to play and have funlove and the power of friendship always wins(∩｡･ω･｡)⊃━ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ [ CUTE BEAM!! ]
>>3097649purpleskins should die
>>3136885>I think it would be cute if we had our own little server to play in :3enable all-chat and legacy hanamura then i am on board
>>3138603All chat is a must! I also want to bring back all the old map variations and see if we can add new community maps. Right now I'm just trying to get the create custom game screen to work.
>Quickmatch>Enemy gets Xally/Falstad/Zeratul>You get retardsMost unfun mode in the game desu
