So you're telling me Blizzjew is giving away free characters? Shouldnt that be a sign that the game is dead and they are desperate for more players?

Nah, 2.0 is coming so they want to hype it. 2.0 will give loot boxes for free skins.

What's changing in 2.0 I haven't played the game for almost a year now and only played for about 2 weeks, the only character I actually enjoyed was Sylvanas

2.0 will add new currencies, will adopt the Overwatch system kinda.

Every level up with your hero or account, you get a loot box that might contain skins and other cosmetics.

It also bring Taunts, Sprays and flags for when you capture Merc camps or destroy keeps. From what I know, you get a box for every level already on your characters, so you have a ton of backlog if you played a bunch already.

Since last year, they added Overwatch heroes like Tracer, Lucio, Zarya and they will release Genji alongside Hanamura

They reworked a bunch of heroes too to be better, like Gazlowe or Diablo.

Quest skills also allow for more flexibility.

I recommend you check it out, I love it as a casual moba.

>have taunts in game
>Can't say "GG EZ"

Also, the most recent hero is Javelin Amazon

Who cares

Is there good porn of her yet?

GG EZ is bad sportmanship. You could get DQ in any sporting event for that. If you said "GG Easy" in tennis after beating a guy, you would probably be DQ. Only place where it might work is fake wrestling

Why aren't in game taunts bad sportsmanship?

I played 10 games for the Genji skin and never want to play again. Having to wait around on a map until the game says you can do the objective is beyond retarded

I already have all the relevant characters. Doesn't make the game any more fun.

Have they removed the "locking character abilities behind account levels" bullshit yet?

If not, still not worth playing.

Are there 20 characters in total? Sure I'll give it a try.

Is 20 actually a small fraction of the total characters in the game and the rest of them will be locked behind a "pay loadamone or play 1000 hours"? Swing and a miss.

Blizz could send a beautiful woman dressed as an elf to my home to literally suck my dick whenever I wanted and it wouldn't convince me to play a moba

there are accounts that arent lvl 40?
i never heard of this lock and certainly never seen it

they removed that 2 years ago

So how do I get 20 free heroes?
When? Now?

>Blizzard

No

Never heard of it.

Stop playing shit games.

there are 80 characters in OPs image, what do you think?

Taunting is never respectful. In a sport, you show respect for the other team, or else you get kicked off. You don't need to MEAN the respect, but you show it because it's required as a good show.

April 25th, and any time before May 23rd. Once per account.

That hadn't been a thing in years

So starting on the 25th I will get 20 free heroes?

Is it a random assortment or do I get to pick?

>In a sport, you show respect for the other team, or else you get kicked off.

haha I see you've never watched or played a sport

you pick one of those 4 bundles

But you can't even talk to the enemy team

>Taunting is never respectful

So why block one form of taunting and not the other?

Shoo

>another cancerous overwatch hero
great

At least he's not invisible.

>Blizzard gives you 20 characters for "free"
>DotA 2 gives you the entire roster and always has from the beginning

that's rather stupid of you then.

Blizzard doesn't have an absoultly fucking massive video game distribution platform where they get some of the profits from everything sold on it.

Cool then. Dont play it.

core gameplay isn't interesting enough for me to play it.

I only play for LiLi

no instead they have battle.net which just has the entirety of the overwatch, wow, starcraft and diablo audience. and all the profit from games sold on it goes straight to them.

are you seriously saying blizzard cannot 'afford' to let people play every HOTS character?

Babby's first “hold down one button and win” char?

Jackasses get punished. That's just how it works in real sports, excluding hockey and rugby where murder is legal.

It's Blizzard. Does anything make sense with them in their current years?

People get so fucking tilted chasing her down only for her to get away.

Taunt in Hots locks you in animation and you cant do anything, it is basically taunt that force enemy to attack you. You can lure enemy in trap or fail miserably.

I'm guessing you weren't trying to garner sympathy for Blizzard with this post but it still made you look like a total fucking faggot.

I'm saying Valve probably has more money than them, also Blizzard still makes games.

>That's just how it works in real sports
they will say literally anything to the other team when they are out of earshot and the cameras aren't recording dude.

Oh shit

The 20 hero thing is FREE and you get to pick a pack?

I thought it was some discount thing where you can choose to buy one of the packs.

That is pretty damn nice then. Gonna map this shit out on an Excel and see which bundle is the most worth it.

I honestly don't know why it's such a big fucking deal all the characters aren't playable right from the start, Heroes is WAY more fucking generous than LoL for one with its free resources now, and in 2.0 you're gonna get loot chests that you could potentially unlock characters and skins in for just playing the game every time you level a charcter and it's not stupid hextech crafting or you have to get an S rank with a character in a game to get a chest but only like twice per season BS LoL does.

Taunting gets you a technical foul in most sports and that's it. Taunting still fucking happens and only sometimes do the refs actually give a fuck. Unironically after people got triggered by Kapernick the NFL started handing out penalties for taunting and gloating.

>Gonna map this shit out on an Excel and see which bundle is the most worth it.
post results

whichever one gives you most heroes unless you really want a certain hero(es)

Im mildy salty abathur is in damn near every pack and will probably inflate que time when I play as him not to mention getting shitty abathurs on your team

whats going to replace the gold bonus for reaching X level on a hero or your account? i don't care about cosmetics

how are they making it easier to unlock heroes for new and old players?

how does the 20 free heroes thing work?

used to be you couldn't take some talents until your account or something was X level i think

Excessive Taunting is bad. You can do basic taunts and it's fine.

There's.. sixty something characters total. You unlock them pretty fast if you're playing the game, as well.

>ABA will never be buffed back to god tier
This kills the slug

this

you imagine how much worse it'd be if you could say that shit after a match?

the game would get even MORE money from lootbox sales!

Fuck it, i played the game for about an hour once, but if you post that shit i'll grab the best one, just in the off chance someone i know decides to play ASSFAGGOTS, but can't handle dota.

Fast at start i would say, but yes, way way faster than Lol.

No you stupid nigger, the best pack for someone might not be the best for you. It depends on what heroes you already have.

Yea it's actually pretty annoying that I want Valeera the most out of the newer heroes but the Assassin bundle overlal isnt that appealing to me.

>20 characters
vs
>infinite "original donut steels" characters

ASSFAGGOTS is the cancer killing vidya

I kind of liked HotS but my complexes with social anxiety and a deathly fear of letting people down makes it difficult to play mobas. I'll probably pick up the flex pack in case I ever get over it, thanks OP.

did they rework arthas, that's all that matters.

They are giving you the gems to buy the packs right? I can just buy boosts and shit instead? I already own like half the heroes in the game.

>origin of entire genre
>stealing ideas
Yes, dota was full of shit lore, and still is, but then again, modern blizzard isn't any better

Yes

you can disable allied chat but you may have to disable pings manually

no

welp nevermind

is he viable now?

last time i played I tried to be the main tank and was told you basically can't play him unless there's a real tank on your team, is that still the case?

Soo can I earn the 20 heroes now or wait till 2.0 launches?

They can control how disrespectful one is.

Obviously 2.0. System with crystals not in game yet.

i player the game really early and only recently started playing again so when i said he was not reworked i mainly meant that he felt the same as he had the same skills he had last time

apparently they made some changes like mentions but i don't play ranked so i have no clue how good he is

biggest change i noticed was the snare having a bigger aoe once you finish the quest but nothing major

i don't recall seeing him often or in the recent tournament i watched so i doubt he is high tier

Remakes in HotS are really minor
his base kit is the same

Too bad the game still feels like complete ass due to the xp rubber banding and lame skills on every hero.

I played the 15 games for the genji skin a few months ago and I just don't understand how people can play it. The grind for any hero besides the scheap as shit starter ones is abysmal, the skins are retarded, the mounts are retarded and super expensive, and most of all, it's just not fun. Despite having heroes with built in passive, they don't feel unique in any way. Just about the only few heroes I think were actually neato was the Starcraft dude who sits in base and makes buffs for the team and clones, ragnaros (who I couldn't play since he was so expensive) becoming a tower, And chogall, who I think is the best design for a moba hero period.

I don't think the hero thing lets you choose heroes specifically, just bundles. Take your fucking hemoraging loss blizzard and cut developement like you did with sc2 and diablo. People didn't start playing when you offered wow shit, people didn't start playing when you offered hearthstone shit, and people didn't start playing when you offered overwatch shit. Game is like a 5/10 at best, and there are hundreds of gamesmanship I would rather waste my time with out there that are free.

>smash bros tier blizzard roster
>better

Blizzard roster is the whole point. Plenty of people would love a smash clone.

I don't have about 13 heroes, that total up to ~ 120k gold. I have ~ 146k gold.

I only bought one master skin.

What should I spend my gold on? Or should I save it for after the patch?

some people told me to buy all the heroes I can with gold before the patch.

rag only becomes a tower for a short amount of time

shame their testers didn't like rag being the fucking core of your base or playing as majordomo trying to summon rag

>some people told me to buy all the heroes I can with gold before the patch.
why? are they removing gold once the patch hits?

Maybe a decade ago, modern blizzard doesn't have the same kind of draw it used to. I doubt most Hearthstone players care whatsoever about characters, and they definitely wouldn't be into anything less casual than what they have.

>suddenly lime green black guy with rollerblades and russian girl (male) with pink hair aren't oc donut steels

Gold will still exist as currency for heroes. I don't know about master skins, but hero prices won't go away.

No, but gold is only for buying heroes and re-rolling chests

you'd have to fucking pay me to play two characters in that game let alone 20.

That's not what I'm arguing about. The appeal of the game is the genuine blizzard characters, it doesn't matter if they are original or not. They want to add Overwatch characters because it's their best selling game ever.

thats not MY point though. im saying heroes of the storm is not better than dota 2 in regards to roster.

>The appeal of the game is the genuine blizzard characters
Which is why it has such a small playerbase. The draw isn't the game, but the spectacle, and the spectacle of it was out of fashion on arrival.

What does smash bros tier even mean?

She's great, best auto attacker they released in a while.
As for porn, I would never sexualise a war matron! Would you?

HotS is the best moba out there
which isn't saying much because every moba is shit but HotS is a good one if your friend absolutely have to play a moba

no uniformity, a spinoff tier shit with no purpose other than to stuff them together. don't fit into lore, aren't even in the same universe, just there and its jarring

>Inserting dick in undead mouth.
Not the brightest of ideas.

What if I already have most of the heroes, do I get anything?

When is this happening?

kinda hyped for 2.0, but I'm still not sure it's gonna get me to play more. I feel like I've played enough of the heroes I want to already.

25th iirc

Have you shared your phone number with them yet?

hots is like hearthstone. it's bitesize gaming. zero investment, just bash it out and get your dailies done. completely forgettable experience for the modern blizzard audience.

You get the ones you don't have that are in the bundle? What kind of retarded question is that?

>Smash bros doesn't have a good roster
Maybe if you don't like Nintendo games. In that case you aren't the intended audience. They're fanservice games. I don't think they expect it to surpass their standalone series.
