Heroes of the Storm |OT3| Chromiehounds

Speaking of nova, i'd like a Paintball inspired map, like the ones from starcraft and warcraft. They tried with the towers of doom covert ops brawl, but it needs to be smaller, have more terrain (like a forest) and should only have Q available.

Make the Novas all visible, but cloak when not moving. First team to 100 wins.

edit: Like this one (this is capture the flag) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHxuF9mqpSc

What in the hell was that strategy by Expert? That was such a weird fucking game

Yeah, they should have taken a fight at the shrine instead of trying (and failing) to rush core imo. A shame really, they played that game REALLY well up until the end.

Its pretty surprising to me that Malthael has completely fallen out of the meta already. Like holy shit i don't think he's been picked a single time yet

Is it really that surprising? They nerfed him big time several times in a row. When they made his heroic go from 20 to 10 armor that was that for Malthael.

I think I'm more surprised by the rise of ETC again, especially Expert taking him as a solo tank.

Oh, and whatever happened to Zeratul?

He was always poopy in team play even on release.
Ya but as a solo laner he's so strong, I wish we saw him played more he's too cool

And ya I realize he's been nerfed several times but still feel like he's at least the second best solo laner if not still the king
 
MVP Black would beat them, we will have to wait for Blizzcon though
Not if Dig beats them first.

Fnatic probably are the best in the world right now though. They are absolutely dominant and don't appear to let up in the slightests. OTOH the entire western hots scene is going throw some growing pains right now except them.

Well MVP Black also massively upgraded their roster after the last international tourny (Rich is prob most talented player on the planet)

I'm pretty confident MVPB would beat both Dig and Fnatic right now

Just came across my first suicide feeder teammate.. 0-10 1k hero damage in a 10 minute game. Good work fucker.

As a solo laner his big weakness is that he has to use e on the wave and that he's squishy. He was above average on release numbers-wise, but like kirblar said as a character he's pretty weak against ppl who know what they are doing.

Hes pretty low on the list of soloers imo and a lot of stuff outright beat him like falstad, dehaka, and sonya

Looks like we're about to hit the $100,000 mark in HGC Cheer. Pretty solid start, if this thing runs all year I could see it easily reaching $300k. I hope they can figure out a better rewards system as this thing grows. I'd also appreciate it if I could just buy shit in the store and directly support teams that way and bypass this Twitch stuff if I want to.

a map with them? They won't waste important heroes like that on maps. People would be so mad, they want to play as DW and Alex.

I think the obvious Warcraft maps are Arathi Basin and Alterac Valley. Both just seem like HOTS maps already

She was so awesome back in the day when you could actually snipe people who overextended.

But alas a hero like that nets them too many angy posts in the forums from the noobs.

It was cool when she would remove someone from the game by pressing 2 buttons while sitting in a bush. That was great game play.

Well these are some uninteresting finals aren't they? Wish Dig were here, they'd surely put up a better fight than these teams

ETC popularity about to go through the roof, prepare for a lot of bad mosh pits in your quick matches coming up

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you don't post on general gaming much or have any interest in jrpgs because you might know that duckroll is one of the forum mods here.

Watched some of mewn's stream, he's actually really good sometimes at describing the things he sees going wrong and understanding what needs to happen. Ofc he tunnel visions super hard and randomly blames his team a lot, but in general i wasnt expecting the biggest entertainer streamer to make analyzing play for his viewers such a large priority.

Hes prob one of those ppl whod benefit from in-game voice chat, hes def a player wholl just assume ppl are of the same mind decision-wise and commit fully, hed win a lot more if he played more "hl" and less "heroes". Well itd either help or completely ruin hots for him, either/or

I dont usually watch streamers unless they are fun pros and fun pros dont really stream anymore or do it at weird hours since they play the game for a job. But i was pretty surprised with mewn, didnt expect his stream to be so education-focused

W/r/t na and eu this tournament, didnt catch most of it but i dont think the gap between na and eu is too wide. Gfe could beneifit heavily from replacing aka (no free agents tho?), freedom did really well for their first lan, didnt catch any r20 games but their issues arent roster related in terms of play (mebbe communication and draft?).
