Is it just me, or do random voice lines in the game not happen any more? Do we only get the purchased ones now?

Is there any info about D.Va besides that its D.Va and she has a Cop skin?

e: Also from the wording of what the guy said, the skin is in Overwatch and not in Heroes?

Speaking of, is there any screenshots of the cop skin?

I left out chu8 because he's also doing the Tryhard For Good thing and Horsepants got caught in my reckless backspacing. They're both back in. Also fixed the error with the HL and TL requirements.

If you have an announcer, does that override Li Ming calling her own killstreaks? I love the BW and Li Li announcers, but I couldn't bear losing the Sassiest Wizard sassing out of control.

If D.va doesn't call out her own killstreaks I'm gonna be real mad

Auriel with this build is fp/ban tier IMO. Nearly as much damage as a carry, top everybody off nearly on cooldown and every teamfight is 6v5. So please don't tell everyone and get it nerfed okay guys?

I really really do not like playing assassins (as I've whined about before) but I am at least enjoying my Bot Match Ride To Level 5 with Alarak for this reason. I just want him to scoop me up and take me away while he berates me for my healing

I want an Alarak announcer pack so he can verbally abuse me no matter who I play.

Was Lucio really nerfed that hard? His passive trickle healing went down but not his amp heal, the only talent he lost was the one where his knockback blinded, and he still has access to Rejuvenescência which is a pretty significant heal boosting talent.

I mean it was a 1/3 cut to his passive trickle which seems pretty hefty.

He is. Multirole heroes are a glaring loving mistake and they need to make Varian a warrior who picks between tank and bruiser instead. This is trivial to do, so look forward to them finally doing it in 1-2 years.

Matchmaking keeps setting up varian and 4 assassins against 5 assassins, so if he specs taunt the first team suddenly has a tank, putting the tankless team at serious disadvantage.

That's a problem with QM's matchmaking, not a problem with Varian's design.

Speaking of Kel'Thuzad, how do you guys feel about posting hero concepts in this thread? I recently wrote a really long concept for Kel'Thuzad and would love some feedback!

https://us.battle.net/forums/en/heroes/topic/20754895514

Becoming even stronger in death and Phylactery lasting six seconds feels like it would be way too strong. They specifically nerfed Uther's ability to perform after his death, and even before the nerf his abilities all did half damage/healing.

Edit: I really love the change they made to Snipe Master, holding on to stacks feels a lot easier now that they can't be removed by a stray beetle or ghoul. Also, it's great to be able to actually use my 1k damage snipes on objectives and use the 500 damage aoe to clear waves.

Leo needs a rework and part of that is hardened bones and buried alive baseline.

Buried Alive is worthless, why does it need to be baseline?

p-hop posted:

Yeah besides the fact that Tazdingo is safer and lets you poo poo out more damage, the aiming vector and casting animations for guillotine are just bad. Like Valla's ult though, it's just the right shape to drop inside a tomb. Feels good to turn Jaina into chunky marinara instantly.

His level 1 Q talent isn't bad if your team comp is hosed / you have a really lovely lane. The later Q talents don't feel like they're worth it ever. His AA boosts are just too good not to get.

The Q talent that gives increased charges of the debuff and CDR on hit is good too. Pretty massive uptime increase.

I played W build Zul earlier because it was QM and the enemy team had both Cassia and Li Li on it. We won (I think, my memory is poo poo) and I honestly did better than I thought I would with the spinny axes, but it still seems far, far from ideal in most situations.

And I still took Taz.

If it was qm I wouldn't care.

Wait so does hots actually try to put support players into every game even in qp? I figured it was just totally random characters, in a lot of my games there isn't a character on either team who could remotely identify as a support. It's all illidans all the way down.

It tries to put groups with support against other groups with support.

What's the difference between a bully and a pusher? Bully and tank?

Pusher = someone who can put perssure on the lane itself by quickly aoeing creep waves or creating pushing summons.

Bully = someone who puts pressure on your lane opponent, usually with a lot of poke damage.

el pescado demonio


Bully: someone who can place pressure on a lane, dispatching enemy minion waves and disallowing the other team much time to stay in the no man's land between towers. Zagara is a lane bully. Thanks to its skillset and abilities, it can usually overwhelm a lane 1v1 and force the opposing hero to play defensively.

Pusher: someone with the capability to 'push' down the enemy lane, usually by wont of a superior PVE ability. Sgt. Hammer and Sylvanas are pushers, in that they can either attack the enemy towers from range or temporarily render enemy towers / minions stunned.

Tank: someone who dies in the beginning of a team fight gg leoric sucked someone with a great deal of health or self-sustaining ability able to soak up damage and disrupt the enemy team while your team capitalizes on the crowd control abilities you (should) have to win a team fight. Johanna is a tank thanks to her AoE stun, slow, and blind, as well as her trait.

Zagara is both a bully AND a pusher.
