EG vs C9 Grand Finals are on in HOTS, the latest MOBA set to take the world by storm!!!

Haunted Mines lasted longer than ten minutes, so this is a success.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

wait so the C9 HotS team is just a bunch of League rejects

Zuna, Kenma, Jintae, BobbyHankHill

lol

 

[Haly]

HOTS is the top lane of MOBAs.

 

[Archie]

Isaac skin for Amumu when?

 

[PhillipCostigan]

oh I should download that on my Vita huh

 

[Leezard]

oh I should download that on my Vita huh

yeah, it's still good

 

[Kane Zakharov]

:lol

(i'm sorry bind I still love you)

how bout dat overwatch though, looking forward to that.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

yeah, it's still good

I never played the original despite owning it on Steam


also holy shit these HotS casters suck

why doesn't any other game have casters as good as League casters. It boggles the mind.

how bout dat overwatch though, looking forward to that.

Yeah Overwatch looks great (bind I hope you're working on that now)

 

[bokn]

Will overwatch be better than CSGO

 

[PhillipCostigan]

oh that reminds me

gamma, ufo, closer etc. we should all play CS GO again this Christmas like last Christmas

that was fun

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Woo! Just played my first Ranked game after placement. Went mid against a Ziggs. Me Vel'Koz. Destroyed him. And their whole team. Ended 10/0/11. I can't imagine it'll ever go better than that.

 

[Cidd]

So, I finished my provisionals a few days ago won 7 out of 10 games and got placed Silver I, now I'm getting my ass handed to me from Gold III and higher ranks.

Thanks rito.

 

[SteveWinwood]

there is literally no comeback

like what the fuck are you supposed to do

 

[bidguy]

just bought yasuo for 6.3k

hope i dont regret it as i probably could have used the ip to buy some runes lol

 

[Leezard]

there is literally no comeback

like what the fuck are you supposed to do

it seemed like the heroes barely did any damage to each other while one teams buildings got destroyed

 

[SteveWinwood]

it seemed like the heroes barely did any damage to each other while one teams buildings got destroyed

they barely did any damage in the early game theyd just run around and not die

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Arthas is dumb. He's super fucking tanky with Army of the Dead

it's like focusing a Mundo with ult on when he's miles ahead. You can't kill him and he's just heals through it dealing a lot of damage. except Arthas also AoE slows your ass.

An Arthas that gets ahead can just single handedly carry the game.

 

[Leezard]

It seemed very strange that someone could get 3-man ganked, get hooked in and still survive.

oh, so its a melee carry with mundo ult?

 

[dimb]

Arthas was OP the first time they showed the game (supposedly), then he was worthless for a long time, and then Blizzard decided to buff him again. It's working out really well.

 

[SteveWinwood]

this map is the worst

one curse and its over its so dumb

 

[PhillipCostigan]

he's not really a carry. He's just a tanky dude with a lot of cc that deals decent AoE damage.

he's a lot like Mundo except with more cc. His ult (the good one anyway) creates an army of ghouls that he can sacrifice to heal. His Q does damage or he can use it to heal (he can later get a trait to heal him and do damage). His W is a root and his E is an AoE slow and damage ability. It's the icy field around him.

 

[Leezard]

aight

 

[SteveWinwood]

oh they got a curse

they won

how exciting

 

[PhillipCostigan]

RNG objective spawns

I forgot how shit this map is

this chillatech guy is choking hard

 

[SteveWinwood]

name a good map in this game

 

[PhillipCostigan]

name a good map in this game

Blackheart's Bay is ok.

I don't mind Dragon Shire too much either.

Good would probably be a stretch though.

if EG gets next tribute they probably win actually

nvm EG threw

 

[Deleted member 77995]

im pretty hyped for overwatch.

 

[bidguy]

ok i just went 6-10 normals and fed kat first time yasuo. didnt know what to do i think this was my worst match since i started playing we lost utterly. got ganked constantly though

 

[dimb]

Blackheart's Bay is ok.

I don't mind Dragon Shire too much either.

Okay, no. There is a reason neither of these maps are even showing up in the HotS tournament.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Dragon Shire was just played though.

And I had fun playing Blackheart's Bay

 

[dimb]

Dragon Shire was just played though.

It's barely showed up over Blizzcon. It's real bad because the objectives are only useful when you control the entire map. Super snowbally.

all the maps are bad

at least you get to be a Dragon Knight on it and punt people across the map.

The Garden transformation does a lot more. DK is for babies.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

I bet nobody let you be the DK and you're just salty about it

Spoiler

nobody ever let me DK

 

[bokn]

Theres no comebacks when the only lever you get is the one map objective on a map
You dont get any timing windows or power spikes to play with when you don't have gold/items, non-global levels or more than one meaningful objective

 

[PhillipCostigan]

They had the chance to comeback that game even after 2 curses but people kept getting caught and they ended up throwing. Like they were winning team fights. Not convincingly, but still.

 

[SteveWinwood]

there are timings and power spikes that you can use to win

for the team thats already ahead

 

[dimb]

I bet nobody let you be the DK and you're just salty about it

I was DK yesterday. It was pretty boring.

 

[brian!]

oh hey i got into heroes of the storm 10 days ago look at that

 

[Achtius]

I just mistaken Tris' new portrait with poppy lol

 

[garath]

im pretty hyped for overwatch.

Me too. It looks awesome

 

[Ferga]

im pretty hyped for majora's mask

 

[Wolf Akela]

Rito pls let me add bots on custom on PBE again. :'(

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

I don't know how you guys that play ARAM on your main accounts can do it.

Played five or so games lately and every enemy team is STACKED due to ARAM accounts.

It's not even fun fighting Sona and Ziggs every other game.

 

[Blizzard]

I hate my life. Fuck AP Trynds.

I honestly didn't realize it was still workable. How did they manage it?
