because blizzard
Because Blizzard made it to chase the MOBA money but did it after anyone who was interested in MOBAs were already deeply invested in LoL/DotA2
esports pandering instead of focusing on delivering the existing customers the product they wanted.
HoN is better

Too late to the moba genre and can't allocate funds with wow and overwatch amidst the company layoffs and shareholders pulling out.
because blizzard's stock dropped by like half in one month and they needed to move their D-team over to [insert big money-making project here] instead of working on a sub-par MOBA.
For me, it's Whitemane.
This, it was a concern years before Heroes of the Storm was even called that. When it was Blizzard DOTA and then Blizzard Allstars, people even then (myself included) thought they were late to the party, and that people would not abandon their established hoard of paid LoL skins and whatnot just to try a new moba simply because Blizzard made it and it has famous game characters.
It's a shame, since Heroes addressed every issue I had with other mobas:
>Laning is short (or at least used to be), the teams are forced to converge around map objectives at regular intervals to force teamfights and overall brawly interaction between teams, which I like more than lane Whack a Mole with gold farming and creep denying.
>No generic one-size-fits-all item shop, everyone gets their own talents instead that actively modify the character's kit instead of, say, Frozen Gauntlet providing the same general effect for every tank in LoL that's interested in it.
>Map diversity, varied objectives.
>Some of my favorite video game characters.
>Healers really feel like healers in this moba, not just forgotten loser waterboys who earn minimal money. You can really shine by keeping your team alive as a healer in Heroes.
>Tanking used to be tons of fun with how aggressive body blocking was. Diablo was the biggest asshole and I loved it. youtube.com
>Jungling didn't feel as autistically strict, and it was generally a shared responsibility unless you had someone like Illidan that's amazing at taking camps solo.
Garbage gameplay missing the entire point of a moba.
That's what happens when you fire all of your good devs after WoW vanilla.
you can tell this dude just started browsing Yea Forums a month ago
It didn't die, it still makes Blizzard fuckloads of money. They just killed off their self sponsored esports division because they realised it was a waste of money.
Ugly tranny models

Because it was boring casual shit dumbed down so hard it couldn't even grasp and stick to a casual market
they're not doing content updates anymore right?

It's still alive to me, damnit!
Because it doesn't print money. WoW and HS spoiled Blizzard so much that unless game makes insane ROI it looks like a total failure in their eyes.
blizzard is in such a shithole state they couldn't sustain the powerhouse of WoW or WC3 using top artists in the industry so they stole the hots developers who were just working on their passion project to fix their trainwrecks WoW, WoW Classic, WC3 remaster and diablo 4 before their stocks plummet to 0
This, which is sad. Heroes had its best year ever while Blizzard in turn made record profits, and they then chose to cut Heroes' funding and mutilate its dev team simply because it wasn't doing as well as Activision would like, even if it was doing well enough and had a modest but dedicated community. I imagine part of the reason was that they were tired of funding HGC's weirdly good cash prizes, so they killed the entire project since it wasn't good enough as a money maker to justify in their eyes, throwing the baby out with the bathwater that was Blizzard trying to make Heroes into a respected esport, complete with how they had it on ESPN.
not enough focus on stuff that mattered, catering more to the pro's and people who didn't even play the game and never would
No Blackthorne hero.
>it was on fucking ESPN
HOW
all sorts of shit was on ESPN, they were bleeding money and were taking all the sponsored deals
Blizzard went full retard basically.
Hilarious that people still bitch about it being casual, when Dota was casualized Warcraft 3.
Because the players killed it
Yes they are, the recently revealed a new hero and we got Anduin earlier this year.
It probably cost too much to make, and the execs realised that ASSFAGGOTS wasn't growing any more.
Which is sad, because the quality of the HotS assets puts every other blizz game to shame.
God I hate sfm's lighting
In general it's kind of weird that people responded to a Blizzard game that way. Blizzard built their entire empire off of casualizing other games, like dumbing down Everquest to result in WoW.
That's my wife :)
>make the most casual friendly moba ever made
>push the e-sport meme
they did this for every single game
I've always wanted white mane to party wipe me and sit on the face of my bruised and beaten body. Then the rest of my party takes res sickness and I'm stuck under her.
Tbh
This is what truly made the least sense to me with HotS in particular. They didn't even want to call that game a moba for years, choosing to refer to it as a "hero brawler." They should have leaned into the casual bing bing wahoo style over substance crowd by pointing out how easy Heroes is to get into compared to other games in the genre and tried to sell it to Smash Bros. types of fans. Sell it as a big fun crossover brawl party game.
The way Blizzard managed Heroes would be like if Sakurai started hosting his own Smash tournaments with massive prize pools. You can't tell people to stop taking it seriously as a fighting game and just enjoy it as a casual party game if you're also encouraging bleeding edge competition for money. It's just plain incompatible. Hypocritical mixed messaging doesn't even begin to describe the situation. And Blizzard did exactly this sort of thing by casualizing the shit out of mobas even more than they already are while trying to make some interesting competitive scene out of their simplified party brawler.
I was in love with her the first time I stepped in cathedral
Good taste.
>all those bitch posts that were livid she got a model
>"SHE'S NOT EVEN POPULAR"
>most responses were "she makes my dick rock hard"
I'm so thankful for hots.
hots is still very fun
What have you been doing user? Ive been doing about 20 to 50 body weight squats a day (increasing the amount when it feels way too easy), but i honestly dont think that'll do much eventually and i'll have to do significantly more. Shooting for the very long game on this one.
What do you even call this type of clothing? For searching reference material
I want to thank an animator called Nyl for really making me appreciate her character.
One piece and impossible suit.
>20 squats
>body squats
That can't even be considered preworkout. Not to mention you do it for 5 minutes and spend the rest of the day sitting on your ass.
and let's not forget they still haven't put the means to make it competitive
to this day kael'thas is still the walking nuke he was since the beta
they managed to make an actual fun ARAM mode adapted to the gameplay with healing fountains and "medipacks"(which is highly played, the queues are still less than 10 seconds long) yet you still can't complete any quest on it
they should have just played on their strenghts, make the characters easier to level, give more quests like in events and just make the overral completion of stuff easier
Its more towards 70 in total. I also jog in my area which is usually uphill. Gimme the better strat user.
Use weights or stop wasting your time, that's my advice.
They did the same with Yrel, too. Probably just assmad Hordies or people who still haven't gotten over how shit WoD was.
>B-But she was only relevant for a single expansion (the shittiest one), the Horde didn't even really know who she was, and she's just a goat waifu! She doesn't deserve a slot!
>These are normally the same people who defended Orphea stealing a slot from a hotly demanded hero with lore and history, because they want to support HotS devs having more creative freedom. At least they used it to make a fun character, but still, we needed shit like Rock 'n' Roll Racecar, Overmind, Blackthorn, some sort of Old God thing, and plenty of other shit before any sort of OC donut steel was thought up to add to a roster of gaming icons like Arthas, Kerrigan, and Diablo.
This
A MOBA without the massive unfun time sink to learn and play was what was missing from the market, focused on short, action packed matches that you can arcade play quickly and stop
Also the character packs for newbs they gave out were the best idea. Don't wanna grind for the basic characters you'll wanna play? Here you go, they're on the house!
Alright, but i wont take it for at least a few months.
>Orphea
Is it weird that I'm not a lolicon but I want to stun her, keeping her pinned, while I fill her with dps? And then have sex with her?
Then make excuses and instead convince yourself that "fit at every size", what do i care.
You're making a lot of assumptions right now, user. I'm just trying to get a better ass and right now i cant use weights because i'm saving up
I agree. HotS wasn't designed initially as some kind of hyper competitive e-sports game, at least that's my perception from playing it over the years, but they tried their best to shove a square peg in a circle hole at the cost of the people who liked it for being a more relaxed and casual game with characters they knew.
>focused on short, action packed matches that you can arcade play quickly and stop
This is something else that was great about Heroes that doesn't come up enough. When I played LoL a match would last minimum 20 minutes (if the enemy team surrenders ASAP), and an average match time was something like 35-45 minutes, sometimes reaching past 55 minutes if things really dragged on. I played in like Season 1 and Season 2, mind you. Heroes, on the other hand, often has games go on for just fifteen minutes or so, with some of the longest matches merely being thirty or so minutes. That's much easier to just dive into on a whim/ while on a break than LoL, so I found myself opening Heroes more and more often than LoL until it replaced that game for me entirely. LoL matches are an obnoxiously long commitment, and while I've never played DotA or DOTA 2, I can't imagine matches are particularly short.
>Also the character packs for newbs they gave out were the best idea.
This Mega Bundles were great. They should've brought it back yearly or something, to get new blood into the mix. Four different giant packs of characters and you can pick one of your choice at no cost simply as a thank you for trying the game, and to help get the player into it. It was a really smart move and a lot of people checked Heroes out for the first time while it was running.
Best girl, my unironic waifu.
Yeah, it's just plain weird. Every single thing about HotS' design just screams "we're the moba option for people that just want a fun casual video game to play with their friends, instead of serious hardcore competition." But, once they made that casual game they then thrust it as hard as they could right into that ill-fitting hardcore competitive environment. It's absolutely insane.
I loved Hots... sad that Blizz took stupid decisions once more.
Their fanatical obsession with Esports is beyond commen sense. Let the game grow organically, god damn it. I assume they were still obsessed with the wish of extending even more their market.
Put hardcore gamers in position of power, not some Ivy League that see games only as optimization problems.
And remove cultural marxism from your games before it's too late as well.
It has saved league for years
No items means you can't really counter play
The 2018 "We want the esports audience" Initiative caused a ton of meta changes that ruined the games already shallow game design
It tried to compete with DOTA and LOL, DOTA which is the granddaddy of the genre, and LOL, which has a marketing stranglehold on the genre.
I'm a little fonder of thiccstraza, but you've got good taste.
Exactly. My theory is they just couldn't resist the kinds of money and attention games like Dota and League were getting, even if the initial design goals were to attract an audience far different to those two titles. You can see the shift as time went on with stuff like character balancing, where they put heavy emphasis on making stuff better for esport play and not casual play.
They probably noticed too late that the bizarre focus shift was actually doing more harm for the title than good because they'd already thrown all chips on the professional play horse, just like with Overmeme.
Tell that to Dead or Alive's entire franchise for the last two decades or so.
I still play it, the game is still fun for me but there are problems.
Some OW heroes have such a stupid toolkit for a MOBA and it took forever for Blizzard to fix them.
Matchmaking is a HUGE problem if you're playing ranked, i've seen people in Plat that have no idea how to play the game, and people that do know stuck on silver/gold. I've lost most of my ranked games thanks to people that don't pick to win and pick their favorite champ no matter how the enemy team counters them and even if their champ has absolutely no sinergy with the rest of the team.
Overall is a fun game, just don't take it too seriously.
Alex is great, I agree. But I'm not joking when I call her my waifu.
Ranked matchmaking has always been a fucking retarded
These are all problems I've noticed for a long time as well. You can play outside of ranked like I do (because I can't be bothered playing snakes and ladders against a rigged system) and find diamond players who can't play for shit, and silver players who wipe the absolute floor with them.
The rank placement system, and matchmaking in general is just completely fucked, it stacks matches more and more heavily against you to try and keep you riding that 50% win rate line no matter what if you're not in a five man gang bang stack.
>liking blacked thots
>in 2019
>You can see the shift as time went on with stuff like character balancing, where they put heavy emphasis on making stuff better for esport play and not casual play.
I'd say it was around the time when they added Genji and started really fine-tuning Lucio that things truly felt different. They were officially balancing the game like it was Overwatch with OWL, trying to forge it into a bleeding edge competitive scene when they had already made a padded down casual fun game for everyone, not specifically hardcore turbo-tryhards. Those aren't leaving LoL or DOTA 2; they just plain aren't. They picked their game, planted their flag, invested a ton of cash on skins over years, and you're not going to get them to turn their back on that hoard of virtual goodies now when you aren't offering free goodies to converts. So, go for mass casual appeal, not esports. How the fuck did Blizzard not get that?
Keep letting that Blacked shit live in your head rent-free, user, I'll enjoy some waifu images while you screech at the sky about imagined sex scenarios.
>blacked
lmao
I feel like I could argue it was even before Overwatch and the speed meta began to take a deep root in the game. Li-Ming was a prime example of an absolute dumpster fire to play against in casual play because of how much damage she could fart out, and casual players had no idea whatsoever on how to counter her or pick her off properly. However, the pros were fine with her because lmao ez. This left casual play in an almost unplayable state until Blizzard FINALLY decided to wittle her down a bit with much casual player backlash. Sylvanas and Nova were also two absolute nightmares in their heyday.
greymane... greymane was the start
>Alexstraza
>Blacked
This is who she chooses to fuck, user, and she gets free pick considering she's the queen of a race of giant magical lizards.
Alright, enough feeding the BLACKED troll.
Greymane is a good point, but it could be argued that early HGC Valla and Illidan were also to blame. They started getting tuned quite tightly due to pro play, and that dominoed into other heroes being balanced that way. Either way though, yes, by the time Greymane started swinging back and forth on the balance scale was the true sign that design philosophy had changed. He had to be balanced on a knife's edge since he was the best ranged assassin/ ADC in a lot of scenarios, but when he was nerfed by just a tad he fell off of casual play entirely. That could have been said of Valla in earlier times, but eh, that's neither here nor there. Greymane is a good landmark for this in general.
Dude, she got orc'd and blacked hard during the 2nd war.
Why would they bother when they needed dragons fucking her to make more mounts for them? Waste of mount-breeding time and the orcs were mashing that Spawn Unit button.
You do know it was the BLACK dragonflight fucking her, right?
Shit games have a tendency to do that
cope
I’m on the same boat my man
Feel free to cite a source. We all know Deathwing always wanted to fuck her, but he died a cuck save for his indentured consorts like Sintharia. WC2 was just orcish enslavement so they could give the Dragonmaw Clan some proper mounts.
Choose 1 and only 1.
Sally!
I still enjoy hots, only moba i like as someone who hates mobas.

there are so many intense butt workouts that you can do thatll help you a lot!

You on the other hand have shit taste.
Her.

THIS
RELEASE HIM COWARDSSS
Sylvanas would likely just kill you unless your name is Nathanos, and your best bet is her rezing you as a zombie with a non-working dick and now the living world hates you. Not worth it on any level. Next.
Whitemane would probably fucking insane in the sack for all the reasons that crazy chicks stereotypically are, but I feel like I'd hate most of her fetishes anyway, since I get the feeling they're all related to things like branding, candle wax, S&M, femdom pegging, etc. No thanks. Given that the sex would be the only real upside to her, and that she would almost certainly find some reason to get you burned alive as a heretic within a week of meeting her, I think I'll take a pass on this one. Next.
Tyrande is hot as shit but the bitch is kind of fucking crazy. She murdered comrades she's had for millennia to free a demonically-infused prisoner, back when she freed Illidan in WC3. I just plain doubt that I could stay on her good side, and I'd rather not wind up seared to death by moon magic, fed to nightsabers, or just shot full of arrows for saying something wrong about their hippie moon tree goddess or whatever.
Alexstraza is the best answer. She has an army of local dragons, and she's basically an immortal life elemental who can look however her lover wants and can likely bestow them with infinite raw vitality for their own immortality (or at least a lot of sexual stamina when mating with her.) She chooses to adorn herself with gold and jewels so she's likely just as loaded as one would expect from a Smaug-esque dragon queen, but she doesn't come with the aggressive downsides of Tyrande and Sylvanas. She's a very gentle, kind, motherly person on top of being monstrously strong (refer to the Wrathgate cinematic), and given that she's birthed literally thousands of children, we know she breeds well. Plus, dragons are inherently magical, so she's probably still real tight despite her dragon egg Slip 'n' Slide of a pussy.
>heroes getting a we wuz kangs character in 2 days
why
I think that quality post settles it.
That's why Alexstraza exists
Is this game just like overwatch where the only discussion here is waifu shit?
HotS had so much potential. Now Murky and Abathur are going to die in a shitty game, they belong in Dota.
it's more like
>doomposting
>who is added next / who should be added
>waifus
>rants
and gameplay last
I wish it was fun enough so I could justify playing best girl
>stopped doing unique heroes for memesports
I hate blizzard so much
>your mother will never be the dragon goddess of fertility
to this day i have no idea why blizzard gets a free pass for having white supremacist Jaina and rape survivor Alexstraza on their roster but its not ok for tracer to be gay.
>>B-But she was only relevant for a single expansion (the shittiest one), the Horde didn't even really know who she was, and she's just a goat waifu! She doesn't deserve a slot!
This is true
>These are normally the same people who defended Orphea stealing a slot from a hotly demanded hero with lore and history, because they want to support HotS devs having more creative freedom.
This is conjecture
cuckold
She would be on another level in bed.
But what would Maiev be like in a relationship? I just know, for example, that she would get easily jealous because she values loyalty and family above all else.
This is one of the biggest crimes. So many heroes with boring shit copy paste kits because of it.
>line cast ability
>cast a circle ability
>aoe ability
>OG shit when the game is in dire situation
>AY HOLD UP KANG N SHIT
After the dumb shit they just pulled, no wonder Blizzard pulled the plug
It's pretty much League-lite now; atleast with old HotS it felt like a mix of League and Dota. The depth was in their characters, now it's generic shit.
Who was the most unique character of old in your opinion regarding gameplay?
it is sad because it was a pretty quick fun game, the best promise to bring heroes from other blizz games, IMO it was a mix of excessive banning because of "muh safe space" and the juicy juicy E-SPORTS dick
>why blizz has always to push for e-sports user ?
Slow, wanted to be LoL not dota, team experience meant carrying was impossible
she's an obsessive autist dedicated only to her job, probably not great for relationships unless that relationship happens to be prison raping Illidan for 10,000 years
Really? Look at the dislike bar. They went deep into their own asses:
youtube.com
No it wasn't, it was her mate that did all the fucking.
>save for his indentured consorts like Sintharia
He fucked Sintharia so hard that it broke her
I fail to see the issue
Probably old Abathur before his recent rework, that or Murky. No moba has ever had characters like them before. Same goes for Cho'Gall as well. Tough question, just shows how good heroes used to be in HotS.
>Abathur
Quite a cathartic character, and honestly really felt like the Starcraft RTS instead of just being from the series.
>Murky
Never seen anything like Murky as well, trading your worthless life to snowball smaller and smaller advantages until the enemy has already lost. He reminds me of Singed from League desu.
Because my wife Lana left.
I stand corrected. Though I'm not sure if this is a recent retcon or how it orignially was.
10/10
You mean you fail to see the issue behind pulling a Wakanda character out of their asses for PC, instead of utilizing the myriads of already existing amazing characters?
m-mm-mommy
it's even worse
the entire wow expansion is about a race based on aztecs and africans
all they had to do was to take one zandalari general (all the nice ones are conveniently women) and here we go, you have your strong independant black (inspired) woman agile warrior
Wifing Alexstraza means instantaneous access to:
>Wealth
>Power (her army of magical as fuck dragon life elementals)
>Immortality/ Extended Mortality through life elemental bullshit
>A flying mount (your dragon wife would let you ride her anywhere, pun very much intended.)
>A personal bodyguard (she shitwreck fools in her dragon form, provided they don't have a huge numbers advantage on their side.)
>Infinite waifu aesthetics, as she can change her appearance to literally any race and possibly any living creature as a whole, and she picks her features for that species. You could probably ask her to dress up as Whitemane, Jaina, or pretty much anyone else and don her face for some bedroom roleplay.
>A true broodmother in every sense of the word, she'll birth all the fucked up half-dragons you can fuck into her over the centuries of life she's capable of bestowing you with.
>Handlebar Horns
>A motherly, nurturing protector figure in your life (which is really what Yea Forums wants at heart given thiccposting and milkiesposting run rampant here.
>Literally rental mommy tier curves on top of a magically tight pussy.
There is literally no downside here. Not a single one.
It was always her mate Tyranastrasz that was forced to breed with her
Not really, seeing how they already did it with the goth Loli. It didn't bug me then and it doesn't bug me now, furthermore there is a limit to what they can do with their already established characters. They could have an idea for an character with an amazing kit but there is no character that can use it, this new character that they introduced seems to have a good kit. But I can't see which established Blizzard character could possibly use it, Maiev for example had to get an all new kit because Zeratul already had a lot of her stuff from Warcraft 3
Wife material for sure. Just help her stay on a healthy diet and exercise during marriage to stay thicc without being fat.
nice gamer image retard
>all the nice ones are conveniently women
What you got against Raal? Are you a filthy worshiper of Gonk?
What went wrong?
no, I worship based Jani
Then what you got against Raal?
Even devoted wow players probably can't name anyone other than Talanji
user.
The LITERAL and PRIMARY reason behind HOTS was to see Blizzard heroes duke it out in a MOBA environment.
user.
Again, there are MYRIADS of already existing interesting canon characters in the Blizzverse that they can utilize as they want. A loli might have been fine to catch the lolifag audience, since I don't think there is a famous loli in the Blizzverse, but now they are pushing it.
>This is conjecture
Nah, it's me noting trends with faggot redditors on the Heroes sub. I go there when there's some news on this game that I think they'll be funny about. The same people that loved Orphea on release over there almost universally hated on Yrel when she was announced, calling her a "literally who space goat who's just here for people who stand around ERPing in Goldshire all day," and other such presumptuous conjecture. I just plain enjoyed following Yrel in WoD. She was one of maybe like three things I enjoyed in that expansion, so I was happy enough to see her added, even if Velen and Maraad fans were mad about it.
The market was already saturated by bigger brands.
>tfw no thicc talented animator wife
half of those people are esports directors.
>that body
Is she single? Do we know?
look, I don't mean he's absolutely useless
but gee mon, pa'ku is uh...
I know, but it would still be better than this literal who
at worst they'll just need to write some background in a few minutes, the character would at least be relevant.
or I don't know, pick thrall's first wife, or the burning blade warchief from wow I don't know, blizzard has all the choices they can have.
fuck it's not hard
She makes me want to become a father
>So tell me user, which character do you want me to cosplay next for you? Alexstrasza maybe?
Love Goddess Tyrande
Yeah, it's weird. I'm not into loli, personally, but I do find Orphea fun both mechanically and thematically. I just don't think she's anywhere near up to par with the iconic characters she's standing with. Her design is much more generic and looks like it fell out of League of Legends, her personality is as bland 'nice young girl' as it gets, and while her powers are neat, she really does just feel like the devs trying to make something new because they were tired of remaking established designs in the HotS art style. I have no fucking idea how we got her before shit like Overmind, Arcturus Mengsk, Dark Wanderer/ Diablo 1 Warrior/ Aiden, Blackthorne, and plenty of other shit people have pleaded for since the game was first announced as Blizzard DOTA.
I don't understand this about the art team. They signed on to the Heroes team because they worship Blizzard and their characters, but then they make Orphea and Ms. Wakanda because they're tired of making the characters that their jobs revolve around making.
Made me even harder seeing women lezzing out over her. Everyone wants a piece of the Thigh Inquisitor
This will require a lot of paint though to do it properly and it can get messy.
Kang it.
it was never alive
>white supremacist Jaina
Nigga she was the biggest proponent of "not all orcs" in WC3. She literally aided in the murder of her own father so that the orcs would be free to 'culturally enrich Kalimdor. Then they blew up her house and most of her friends as a thank-you. Purge them with fire, Jaina.
Because it was too casual.
>Saw Black Panther
>Insert your OG fanfiction
>When you work in MOBA about Blizz characters duking it out
Yeah this is fucked
Noooo I want mommy Lana getting fatter!
im surprised this person didnt get crucified for making a comic about whites and blacks
this, Warcraft orcs are the biggest dindu nuffins in all of gaming
at least Warhammer orcs and orcs from other properties know that they're assholes and don't try to justify their actions with bullshit like "but you imprisoned me after I raped your wife and murdered your whole family, so you're clearly in the wrong here, not me." It's amazing what mental gymnastics Hordlettes can do to rationalize and justify how their faction works, as if their glorified unga bunga cave dictatorship can ever be called just or sane.
Exactly.
I mean it's fine to lust over Jaina's body and sexyness. That's another thing.
But that broad is a stupid traitorous slut.
>The LITERAL and PRIMARY reason behind HOTS was to see Blizzard heroes duke it out in a MOBA environment.
user.
Yes I know, and we are getting that along with some new characters born from the HOTS ip. You know how smash is a mash up of Nintendo characters in a fighting setting? It still had characters unqie to that ip like master hand
But why am I even discuss this with a /pol/tard, really you should just go back.
Obsessed.
> I have no fucking idea how we got her before shit like Overmind, Arcturus Mengsk, Dark Wanderer/ Diablo 1 Warrior/ Aiden, Blackthorne, and plenty of other shit people have pleaded for since the game was first announced as Blizzard DOTA.
I know how, because half the characters you mentioned are very hard to design a kit around. What trait are you going to give Mengsk? "Betrayal: Whenever Mengsk is low on health he will throw the closest Ally into the enemy team and the Ally will draw agro on the enemy team".
What the hell is wrong with you? Where does /pol/ come into this?
Night elves attacked first
It's simple really, he's only upset because the new OC is a black woman. Standard /pol/ behavior, watch how he gives a pass to the white girl but not the black woman.
You're not wrong, she committed objective treason when she sided with escaped orc prisoners over her own people, let alone her father of all people. Still, she was a teenager or a young twenty-something at the time and she was mostly dealing with Thrall, who is admittedly an anomaly among his people. His demeanor made them seem more reasonable than they are on average, so she assumed her father was in the wrong to be aiding in the subjugation of Thrall's people, and she moved to step in and 'correct' what she saw as a miscarriage of justice. She wanted to give the orcs a chance to start over after Thrall explained that they were all roided out for the last few wars and weren't in control of their own actions. It just later turned out that orcs who aren't Thrall, who were in full control of their own actions, were more than happy to reward Jaina's kind aid by attempting to kill both her and pretty much everyone she knows and loves all in the blink of an eye. Boy did she learn her fucking that day, and now we have modern Jaina to thank Garrosh for, because she wasn't even half as hot or interesting when she was a kind, simple, bookish tomboy mage. Now she actually does things, and that glare she gives the Horde makes my dick want to explode.
no, you see her as black and that means no one can insult your precious pet nigger
fuck off
Their entire job is to be creative and make kits, user. Not everything is going to have an obvious skillset. Take your complaint up with Deckard Cain.
its an absolute monarchy. if the king doesn't punish something, its the same thing as it being okay. there are no codified federal laws
I'll samefag to throw in Probius too. It's not like his kit was obvious when people were throwing around the idea of a solo prob unit hero.
Yes, but the Wrynns clearly never saught justice or felt they should hold a trial or anything like that, so I'm not really sure what to say. Plus, it's not like Jaina's a nobody. She was, at the time, more or less the princess of one of the strongest militaristic nations in the Alliance (Kul'Tiras), and trying to execute her probably wouldn't have done them any favors with Jaina's mother, Kathrine. Sometimes you have to let something even as grave as treachory slide if seeking recompense would do nothing but cause you more frustrations, such as Kathrine pulling the entire Kul'tiran naval force out of the Alliance, if not outright forming them into a new enemy where the Stormwind-led Alliance is now fighting both the Horde and the Kul'tirans. It just wouldn't be worth the risk, so I get it if that was the characters' rationale.
>basedbrain manages to shove /pol/ into completely irrelevant and uncorrelated contexts
Rent free. Four more years. Seethe.
People couldn't best my probe, so they quit.
Easy wins everytime.
Cain and Probius at least had something to base their kit on, tell me what does Mengsk have? Yes it's Blizzard job to come up with a kit which is why they will probably be the first to tell you it can't be done
I swear, we don't deserve Dandonfuga.
Also, good post user. Nice points.
>but the Wrynns clearly never saught justice or felt they should hold a trial or anything like that,
On what grounds, what happened on Theramore is something Stormwind can't do anything about.
Cope, no wall and sizzling
I'm just gonna throw in my two cents as someone who genuinely doesn't care about her race, just her design and kit:
She's boring looking and makes me think of The Falcon. Still, I will say that one or two of her abilities seem fun to use, like the one where she spins around an enemy for a bit. Overall though it feels like an incredibly non-creative character. It's just some bitch with a chain sword like Zabimaru from Bleach, and she does nothing particularly interesting with it aside from that one spinning move.
I actually agree with you, but I was trying to respond to what seemed to be the other user conjecturing that the Wrynns have full control over the Alliance and should have done something to Jaina for fucking over Daelin. Or maybe they were saying Kathrine should've disciplined her? If it's the latter I initially misunderstood.
because warhammer isn't based on real life scenarios
WH orks are fungus living only to shoot things, strap as much spikes as they can on their cars before ramming headfirst into an active volcano and cheering if you die in a big explosion, there's almost no politics in 40k except "chaos bad because I am order"
No, you tell me, what did they have for Deckard? Seriously, what? At best people used to joke that he could maybe put people to sleep by telling a story mid-combat or something. It wasn't until this was made, with Carbot doing Blizzard's job and being creative for them, that people started acting like it was sooooooooo obvious that he would use the Kanai Cube as an offensive abilitiy of sorts:
youtube.com
People like that can fuck off with their bullshit 20/20 hindsight.
Yeah, it isn't intellectually dishonest like Warcraft is with its orcs. You'll never hear me call Warhammer and others like it deep and intellectually stimulating, but at least it doesn't try to make me sympathize with a species that has acted as fucking monstrously as Warcraft orcs have, trying to humanize them despite all the pillaging and sacking and wanton, pointless murder for the sake of murder.
oh no no no
Tassadar wall will be on D now.
how is cum cranium censored and this isn't. there's no fucking justice.
Mengsk would fit the new Support role (not a healer, a buff-type sport), empowering allies through leadership and command-themed abilities, like an attack damage buff that he shouts at an ally. That sort of thing. Give him a basic pistol with shit damage and make him a ranged support who likes to stand back and let his allies do most of the hurting for him, since he's never once been depicted as an actual fighter, just a leader of troops. Still, anyone can shoot a gun, and a charismatic, authoritative leader's words carry weight. Make him feel kind of like Lucio with buff management, maybe give him some sort of tactical snare/ stun he can put on the ground to trap divers who try to assassinate him (because the real Mengsk character is absolutely the type who rigs up hidden mounted machine guns in his office and shit like that.)
Horadric Cube was an item in Diablo 2, Deckard is the last of the Horadrim so it makes sense to give the cube to him. Healing potions are all over Diablo, you just needed a support hero to use them as part of his kit. Scroll of Sealing is the only thing not taken from the game but even scrolls are all over Diablo.
Now make me a kit for Mengsk, one that fits his identity and role in the game. Oh yes yes yes
He's getting another rework
My wife Lana is too perfect
Whitemane and Li-Ming are top tier.
Probably because this is a really popular channel in bongland.
Too many people fapping, not enough playing.
It was the most shallow and casual game in existance that even the most casual blizzdrone got tired of it.
I want to marry and impregnate Li-Ming
>Now make me a kit for Mengsk, one that fits his identity and role in the game
Refer to
Whitemane > Alex > Tyrande > Sylvanas
Who cares? How often does anyone discuss that news network on here?
Li-Ming is really, really high tier, at least in Heroes. She's a lot less catty in Diablo 3, but in Heroes she's basically just Azula with less crazy murder vibes and more sultry slick bonermancer vibes.
God I love her voice lines in this game. youtube.com
it died because it's a shitty streamlined moba only the biggest casual player would love
it was dead on release, had a lil' spike after OW, then dropped forever until blizzard rightfully cut the funding to it
i'm glad it's dying

You'll have to break through her magical Womb Ward to do that.

More boring than Smite
Good start, but you're missing a trait and two heroics.
>she's basically just Azula
Now you have my attention.
How does she resemble Azula user?
based
Have you played HotS or Diablo 3? She's literally voiced by the same person, with the exact same voice no less, and is incredibly arrogant but can back that up with magical prowess.
HOTS fought the LOL and the LOL won.
I have never played Diablo.
And I have never used her in the few HOTS that I've played.
She is voiced by Grey Delisle? Now I've got to try her.
I want to put my dick in that gnome.
And they're visually similar and both 'Asians' of their universes.

To be fair, the issue is all on Blizzard's writers. Jaina was right given the context of WC3, it's just that at some point in WoW the horde became evil again.
I mean, I'd be great if it is intentional, but it does feel like it's just Sylvie fanboys and WC2 horde fans writing the horde forgetting that the whole point of the horde was proving that the orcs were not monsters.
this thread needs more B to the W
Same voice actress doing more or less the exact same voice and tone, just less insane (as in genuine insane asylum crazy) and much more poised on top of being utterly in love with herself. Li-Ming says a lot of shit that I could easily see Azula saying prior to when she lost her mind. That and I like to use this color of hers because it makes me think fire nation, and also white/ silver hair is normally the best anime hair color.
To be clear Li-Ming in Heroes doesn't shoot any fire or lightning, she just acts a lot like Azula. She can do that sort of thing in Diablo 3 as the female Wizard, however.
I like Templar Li-Ming because I love those cross-universe skins.

I don't intend to bother, considering they legitimately need to pull some stuff out of their ass to make him work, and you won't see me claim otherwise. They need to contrive new abilities for him that no one saw coming, because there's no basis for his kit, like how you acknowledged that Scroll of Sealing for Deckard came out of nowhere, and I'll say Lorenado is even bigger of a 'where the fuck did that come from' spell. Regardless, there's tons of shit they could do with Mengsk, from giving him a summon to letting him place down objects, such as automated machine gun turrets. He could also potentially have a fun propaganda-themed ability, like a silence or something like that if he's able to channel some obnoxious, pompous speech with enemies around. Put up a big hologram screen of him addressing the public with some bullshit sentimental message that numbs their brains and confuses them, making them too stupid think straight for a few seconds like imbecilic little sheep.
>Now she actually does things, and that glare she gives the Horde makes my dick want to explode.
Oh yea man, she hates the Horde sooo much in BFA.
how long are high elo queues these days? (diamond 2+)
>Want to play some TLV for a change
>Every match I get into in quickplay matches me against heroes like Butcher or Alarak that benefit from "easy" kills of the vikings.
Or maybe it was just a lie from Thrall?
This whole "new Horde" was always bullshit. It's the exact same Horde, except minor details. Hence why they use the same name, worship Orgrim, etc.
I can't see Thrall lying, he's too much of a green jesus for that.
He's a big hypocrite. Why are the warsong still in Ashenvale in Vanilla? Why is he naming Garrosh as a leader? Why incorporate the forsaken? Not my fault if Metzen is a terrible writer and even his self-insert is dumb.
literally satan
Arthas' chadness and death destroyed Jaina's chances of a normal life.
Now she is doomed to have to chase Green Jesus dick until she dies.
She was Yandere for Illidan, and even her ingame quotes has her daydreaming of him naked while she touches him.
the only purpose of quickplay is to farm 5 lvl requirement (which should be removed long time ago)
She's great youtube.com

>Critical Mass got nerfed ages ago in Diablo 3
>still stupidly powerful in HotS
Thrall isn't Horde anymore, he's a loner weirdo living out in space and people needed to go tell him he's a defeatist loser bitchboy to get him to do anything at all. If anything he's actively betraying the Horde and striking out against its Warchief.
Is gamer really filtered?
Pretty much this. And because blizz doesnt know how to e-sport. Their customer base doesnt want it, but every IP they own now has been relentlessly pushed/forced into the esports realm for the easy beta bucks.
No, gamer isn't filtered. Gamer is.
HotS dev team are the only people left at Blizzard who actually give a shit about what they're developing, prove me wrong
although making OC HotS characters is a misstep I'll admit
Thrall is a chad and thanks to him the Horde always have the cake and eat it too. If he wasn't Horde, Saurfang or Sylavanas wouldn't have cared about him.
t. blizzdrone
This.
Not doing so well what you are doing =/= not giving a shit about it.
Felplague fuck you, this is no MMO-Champion.
Ashenvale was RACIAL Grudge between Night Elves and Warsong clan from the days of Warcraft 3, Vanilla had NO AvH bullshit, it was all localized Sub-Faction conflicts that weren't even aligned with the Alliance or Horde, besides their own interests. Mainly the Defilers of Arathi who were former LK cronies who work for themselves while doing jobs for the Forsaken. Or the Stormpikes, who were mostly Dwarven Mercenary Archeologists, the Frostwolves weren't even part Thrall's new horde, they were independent.
all of the battlegrounds in vanilla had AvH because of the game mechanics, when by lore they were isolated conflicts between 2 groups that weren't even aligned with the Alliance or the Horde, only in TBC which where they started to push this bullshit.
source, NOW
because MOBAS are already simplified RTS's for retards whos tiny söy powered cüm brains can't handle moving more than one unit at a time, and then blizzard came and simplified THAT to make it even more brainless than before. imagine if you take some nice natural fruit juice. then you mix it with half water. that's DotA and league. then mix it with a gallon of water more, and then you got HOTS
she's so perfect
>Every match I get into in quickplay matches me against heroes like Butcher or Alarak that benefit from "easy" kills of the vikings.
you're gonna have to get used to that, there's enough heroes that benefit from kills that you'll have at least one on the enemy team the majority of the time.
Let's not forget that Thrall power was limited in practice. See how the trolls were literally keeping cannibalism and sacrifice alive despite Thrall telling them not to.
>She was Yandere for Illidan
Maiev is probably western gaming biggest yandere, it's a surprise so few people seems to get that.
Sylvanas has always made pre-emptive strkes against anyone she distrusts, whether they're allies, enemies, or complete strangers. Why in the shit would an evil dictator not make sure her predecessor is dead? There's zero sense in leaving him alive since the populace could rally around the idea of putting him back in power if they decide they dislike the new leadership. The fear of the public even considering that is enough to justify killing Thrall. In terms of Saurfang, he had to actively shame Thrall into even considering going back to Azeroth to do anything related to any Horde. He had to mock him and all but call him a coward. Didn't he even say Thrall was 'hiding' out in Nagrand? Thrall doesn't want anything to do with the Horde anymore, it's a shame for him after all of his leadership decisions. He just wants to be left alone but he feels obligated to make sure his friends like Baine aren't murdered when he isn't looking, and now that he knows Sylvanas is sending assassins after him, well, there's a gun to his head and he needs to act or else his wife and child will probably be stabbed to death by zombies in their sleep.

>not thicc as hell
Speaking of TLV
HotS didn't truly die in my eyes until they gave up on the Blizzard Classic category and relabeled TLV as a Nexus hero. Blizzard Classic at least gave hope that we'd see some heroes like Blackthorne and a Rock N Roll Racer, and that's just gone now.
Versus AI is alive
Everyone dreams of having Maiev as a housewife. Thing is : She would only mate with Illidan or Malfurion. Because otherwise these 10000 years of sexual frustration would have been for nothing.
you mean try to murder Malfurion because her sexual frustration is at such an insane level
She wasn't good enough to move her up.

The Orks in Warhammer Fantasy got driven out of their lands by Sigmar and his tribes and therefore hold a grudge against the humans.
They are actually in the right.
>even her ingame quotes has her daydreaming of him naked while she touches him.
I don't think that plunging a knife into someone counts as touching
Because they are soft
Including each other.
Since blizzard is in the shitter, they should unironically just start making adult shorts/content. They could charge the same monthly subscription as wow, with one time purchases for additional dialogue/flavor context. They are laughed at by every other developer in the industry, are a joke of a company and have been making trash for a long time. No new IPs since overwatch, they are creatively bankrupt.
If they made adult content in the style of those animated/CGI shorts they make, they’d easily bury every competing company within months and create content people actually want.
This isn’t an opinion. It’s a fact. Also we already know blizzard devs are full on degenerates, just look at that foot fetish hero in overwatch.
>here's your dev team bro lol
(not as bad as i expected tbf)
It was killed
I like how they had to blur out the ID card.
the way the development works is that a hero is in the works for 8-9 months before being released.
We're just getting whatever is left in that pipeline now, which is why the releases are so slow now and Qhira got dropped without any buildup whatsoever.

I've seen footage, I'm just saying. More dog than tiger.
Heros 2.0 quite literally made the game less money because lootboxes were so fucking diluted with possible outcomes no one was buying them. If you dont believe me: they reverted all that shit back to the normal shop a few months ago.

>he assfucks her
It's a shame that they didn't even give us what we wanted from those boxes in terms of minor additions. I've seen so many posts begging for new banners, and more minor skins, like the one where Artanis uses one of his own blades and one of Zeratul's green ones, complete with some bloodspatter on his armor to match up with how that played out in SC2. If that's allowed, why can't we add back in Death Knight Arthas, since that skin was removed in beta due to whiners complaining about it costing $10 as "just a helm removal and a voice pack swap to Crown Prince."
There are plenty of little minor differences people would've liked to have accommodated. Running with the Arthas thing (because he's popular and I've seen a lot of skin discussion for him), some people want the hooded version from when he first returns to Lorderon to kill daddy Terenas. Some want that skin to change his Remorseless Winter AoE aura to rose petals to fit it, too.
Is chen good again? Or should I wait another year? I've waited 2 already
i remember someone making this mock-up
Based berber-portuguese assfucker
Chen was always good
Chen is able to kill himself.
Imagine the day.
Imagine the day it will happen. The whole universe will colapse from the insane amounts of millennia of sexual release.
Litterally the only criticism she got so far is NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER BLACK PANTHER NIGGER. NIGGER NIGGER WAKANDA
I remember seeing a neat idea that Mengsk would replace the core with a base, and basically operate globally from there, and have ways of manipulating and buffing lane creeps on your side.
Not sure that would work these days, but still, a core replacement hero would have been neat since Ragnaros being one kinda feel through.
Core replacement heroes doesn't work
Ass!
She clearly hasn't. Many anons in this very thread have pointed Blizzard's usual faggotry but you choose to stay on the argument you find more comfortable.
imagine their children...
Chen has not been good in almost 3 years
She left Blizzard a few days ago. She did an amazing job animating some heroes like Junkrat, Orphea or Dehaka.
So good now that he's being banned in "pro" games.
Imagine the edge
>No women with strange hair color
>No bitchboy
I know one of them is gay but he doesn't stand out like most LGBTZGJZZVQ usualy do.
Wait, how? Two years ago him drinking was an invitation to stun him
Then Chen has been played in the wrong hands for 3 years
He got reworked
New ability, Stagger, lets him basically tank everything, with caveat of that the 75% of prevented damage is turned into DOT taken over 5 seconds.
This leads to Chen being quite tanky when paired with a pocket heal or hilarious killfeeds of blue Chen killing blue Chen.
>tranny mods actually deleted OPs image
why?
Nah he should just be a Terran version of Abathur. Under no circumstances should he ever be personally doing or taking damage.
I noticed it when I saw your post. The fuck?
It's a Western game, only Nipponese lewds are allowed.
>No items means you can't really counter play
God, Dotababs are low IQ
He's right. No items is such a stupid decision gameplaywise. Not only you can't counter, but it removes like 90% of the gameplay (controlling the shops, the courier, getting farm, getting kills to get the items, lot of different builds, going all-in for that one item, etc.)
MOBAs were popular for their competetive nature, it was their main selling point. HotS was the most casual facerollfest that had hit the market. This was also right after Diablo 3 made a huge portion of the longrunning Blizzdrones finally wake up and decide Blizzard didnt care about them anymore. It was really easy to simply not try HotS because at a glance players could tell it was more about brand recognition than engaging gameplay.
Anyone play Bloodline Champions back in the dark age of MOBA?
Give it to me straight Yea Forumsros, chances we'll see Alexstrasza and Whitemane models used ever again? I totally missed these games and may never get the chance otherwise.
'just' he says
ill have you know that the iMac revolutionaries in my whole trade fair goods atisanally Bautista coffe shop pay top dollar for the juice from thos beans
Only if Blizzard suddenly does a 180, becomes based and redpilled again and show them in retail.
So never.
and people said Yea Forums was a Nintendo board.
How are Whitemane's thighs so amazing?
Her thighs go fucking mental when she becomes a Worgen
