HotS 2026 (Heroes of the Storm Gameplay)

Hello everyone, Py here. Welcome back to Heroes of the Storm. Hope you guys are doing well today as always. First of all, I would like to apologize for the little hiatus we have with Heroes of the Storm going on at the moment. Uh, it was not intentional. I got sick a couple weeks ago and I was taking some time off the computer and then my dad came to visit and I spent a lot of time away from the PC enjoying his company. Uh, I have a backlog of videos to comb through for you guys. And the first one up is a very sleepdeprived young Walter playing uh, some Stitches. Now, I want to say I had nothing to do with the overall comp that the viewers brought into this game. Nothing. I All I did was pick Stitches. And then you know what I did? I alt tabbed and I was playing some Oh, I'm under attack. I was playing some EverQuest on my other monitor. Ever Quest Legends came out. I didn't think I would like that game. It all turns out I really do. Uh, that's besides the point. I do have a funny story to tell you guys. Uh, in April I went down to Florida to visit my dad. I live up in Cleveland now with Holly. Uh, I went down to Florida after a very cold winter. I just shaved a gigantic beard off. I go to visit my dad and he has one for the record books. Uh, where's Uther at? He's a nice bearded man. And he's a good reference. I mean, pretty close. So, the beard I've been rocking lately has literally been my attempt at oneuping my dad. I was having an unofficial beard off with him. I never told him this or anything. Uh, but I spent months on it. Months on it, not shaving, cultivating the mass. Uh, and then he shows up at my house and he's completely clean to shape. And I was like, "Well, that figures." Absolute role reversal. I thought it was kind of funny. Enjoy it while it lasts. I'm going to trim it back soon. I know I don't have a face cam right now, but we do in this video. Thank you guys for watching. Hope you enjoy. I'll see you all again very soon. All right, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Volskaya Foundry. The friendly team today, Stitches, Chunkrat, Andwood, MV, and Medivh. Dude, Rebels's been been rocking the Mayf today. Enemy team, amazing Daniel. Nazebo, who I still think is bugged, by the way. Be careful. Be careful out there. Decker Kane, Arton, and Arthus Minil. >> We have a Medivh. So, I'm assuming my friendly team wanted me to do some kidnapping today. So, we're going to grab Hungry for more. This does mean I'm going to have to focus up on getting region globes, but as we go after these, it's going to make my character run faster. Uh, first blind hook of the match. hit and he slowed. I'm about to be rooted. I'm going to bite him for a little extra damage. That's all I got. Unfortunately, my staying in pretty long here. I'm going to go ahead and pop trait slam these guys as I am starting to make my way to safety. Artonos for the enemy team. Danger low on HEALTH AS WE PULL IN ARTHUS MENITH ONE MORE TIME. THE former king has fallen yet again. Wait, was Arthus king or was he prince? Prince Arthus. [ __ ] [ __ ] got my lore wrong. Well, he's Lich King. He also was the former Lich King, too. So, yeah, we recovered. We just keep saying the lore long enough and it'll it'll come back around. So, funny that you say that, chat. Here's my plan for content. Uh, after Halo's done, which is only a 14 mission game or something, 13 mission game or something. After Halo's done, uh, I'm I'm doing a Dark Souls randomizer run. That's going to be for my for my birthday. That's my present to me is the randomizer run. Hi. After the randomizer run, >> we are starting Warcraft. We're playing through the entire series and I hope I have you guys pledging to watch the entire [ __ ] thing right now. Can I count on you for that, chat? Can I count on you? Why am I landing hooks in the most casual environment ever when I'm not even focused up? But then like when I'm literally locked the [ __ ] in, I can't land anything to save my life. I need reaching globes. [ __ ] GIVE. Thank you. Reaching globe. Uh, we only start getting bonuses from 15 and beyond. So, it is kind of important that I focus up on this really, really soon. >> Well, hopefully he doesn't kill that minion so far away. Oh, that's okay. Uh, we are going to probably not grab tenderizer. I don't know. I don't feel like I don't know. Will I be able to tender them? Arthus is going to be slowing down my auto attack. It is good. Maybe it's just not going to be as good as normal. That regen globes for me. We're leaving. There is a fight happening up top. Artis on the wheel running for their lives right now. We are going to take his region globe. Hello. This belongs to me. Are you tender? Do you feel it? You feeling tender? I'm taking this globe, too. We're not afraid yet. Arth is slow. Pulled back in and taken down. Oh, give me that. Give me that globe right there. I want that. Thank you. [laughter] >> I'm going to head down middle lane and see if we can grab anything here. Looks like Maya's already having some fun with the enemy team. The zombie wall is out stopping me from going around and I'll head straight for the objective. Looks like Amazing Daniel was the one hanging out around here. If I took a step back prior to sending that hook, that would have brought him much further over the wall. And I think that would have been better. Uh, I'm going to eat and then back up. Great. Protected, by the way. Quick portal out. And I am free to leave. Officer, uh, we need two more regent globes to finish off our quest. PULLED HIM INTO TOWER AND WITH A BEAUTIFUL ROUTE. HOLY [ __ ] WE'RE going to flank around to this side and make sure that Daniel stays tender. [ __ ] [ __ ] I didn't mean to take that. I was just clicking right there, dude. Yeah, that's not going to hit. Uh, bite this guy. Thank you. I need a regen glove. I'm assuming there's a mage in here. Yes, he's floating. Wait, maybe he's not. I think I'm blind. Uh, Arthus has returned with the portal next to him as well. Roots are landing on me. I cannot take the portal out. Arthus might be overstaying. Or I am. NOW THAT I'M STUCK IN THE ZOMBIE WALL and rooted by Decker Kane as well, we're going to bite one more time before Anduin pulls us out to safety. Then I need a regen globe. Hello. Don't mind me. Just getting this. Just getting this for my belly. We're going to go for second helping. Uh, it provides a lot of extra healing for us. It allows us to bite our enemies. Oh. Oh, I don't think he wanted that. It allows us to bite our enemies and get some extra health off of them if we are needing it on the front line. or it allows us to uh go after enemy minions a bit more aggressively and get ourselves even more region globes in today's match like this one right here. Thank you. >> Would any of you like to be my gunner? >> You need a gunner to use the >> I know. That's what I'm saying, lady. That's what I'm [ __ ] saying. [laughter] I can disable towers, but I'd rather disable the, you know, the real building that matters. It is only the first objective, so if it doesn't go too far, we're not really surprised. I turned it off and we could just mosey out of here. Uh might be able to poke a little bit more damage on Arthus. >> DIDN'T SEE THAT MINION AT ALL. I WAS COMPLETELY BLIND. Good knock back on Arthus, too. We're keeping him controlled quite well with all of our displacement. This really is the displacement comp, isn't it? That's crazy. Uh, slows are in play and he cannot leave. I'm rooted in the middle of this. I don't think I'm afraid though. Great knock BACK AGAIN. WE FORM THE TRIANGLE. BLOCK HIM IN. GIVE HIM NOTHING. KEEP HIM TENDER. UH, Mayv is trying to deal with the aggression. The enemy team is headed towards us. I want that region globe before we leave. And he doubled back. He doubled back. Uh, is my sip ready? It is. I need it. >> Goodbye. [ __ ] that wall. Exactly. I like how that's became one of our catchphrases recently. [laughter] I've been getting some comments like, "Why are you killing so many walls?" I don't get it. [laughter] [ __ ] that wall. That's why they don't need that vision. [ __ ] that wall, dude. We are at 21 region globes in the belly. Our movement speed is at 110%. So, we're kind of cruising for a bruising. Now, I'm definitely going to take Bile for this comp, right? Who's this man? Who's this man traveling? Decreate. [laughter] I was just going to walk right up to him and put him in the belly. Arthus is on the map. So, basically, the plan now is flank someone who doesn't see it coming and then we just bring him into our base and that's the end of it really. Uh, we can at this objective carry them all the way into the base. Like we have a lot of room to work with here. I am taking a fair bit of damage here. Let's go ahead put him in the belly. Put him in the base. This is it. Just the whole strat. [laughter] All right. [laughter] Bro, you were spot on with that. That there was no delay at all. I kind of panic every time I have to do portals. That was great. Uh Nazebo is toad build. Oh, heading for the door. We don't quite catch him off. In two levels, we are going to get the extended fishing hook. Great pull into the light bomb. This CC comp is insane. This is [ __ ] >> dude. We are just not letting them have a good time today. >> 27 region globes. I need three more for the next stage of the quest. And I hope I get it. Let me bite. Definitely meant to cancel my autos three times there. That's definitely what I meant to do. Enemy team's moving forward again. We're going to slow him down. The a vengeful spirit or whatever the [ __ ] it's called was proving to be a big fan of mine. Hey, guess where you're going? You're going right here. >> Enjoy. >> Can I get another region club after that? It looks like we can. Medivh teleporting to the back line. I like to see that. We're going to start to make Decker Kane tender, BUT HE MAKES ME STAY A WHILE AND LISTEN. THE MAY HAVE ULTIMATE BRINGS HIM BACK INTO THE FOLD. And we just trolled. [laughter] Uh, I can pop trait and stay right on top of him. He actually can't slow me. Whatever I said about Tinderizer not being great, I lied, dude. I [ __ ] lied. If How did I miss on a minion? How did I miss out on a minion? Oh my god. Are you guys ready for the second coming of stitches? Dude, I'm about to like literally have a training montage again. We We're missing too many [ __ ] hooks, dude. Give me these clubs. That's stage two of the quest complete. We're now moving at the Wasn't it 110 before? Am I crazy? I thought I looked up there. It was 110 before. I must be crazy. Hey, guess who's in the belly? Guess where he's going. [laughter] >> I'm going to take the heal over time. We're going to interrupt the enemy team's nazebo. His zombie wall goes down. Great. Stay a while that time. Zombie wall goes down, but I did manage to move to the other side of it. Uh, I'm going to try to crowd the building here, but it looks like we might be forced out. I'm going to keep him tender. I was hoping I if I hooked him back into if I hooked him back into the graves. That was a kill. I suck ass at this game. How did you dodge that? >> HOW DID YOU DODGE THAT SO WELL? Uh I don't want to do too much. Swap's kind of scary. I can bite. I'm totally fine. I wasn't going to die there. We were good. Uh Arthus in lane. God. Fishing up. It's every 20 stack. I thought it was 15. I thought it was 15. Completely washed up in every way. [laughter] Hello. Oh, didn't take it. I'll still get their tank off the point. Coming in for a slam on Artis. If Artis goes to leave, the Mayb is going to keep him in there. Stay a while and listen has been used. We're going to pop trait to move away from this guy a little bit faster. Arthus on the corner is not going to get out of here before the towers take him down. He's not going to get out of here before the towers take him down. HE'S GOING TO GET OUT OF here before THE TOWERS TAKE HIM DOWN. Artis has been slowed and taken down. Great job by the friendly team there. Uh my health will not hold. Give me this region globe. I tried to get the annihilating spirit to follow me. Get them off the enemy. Get Get them off the friendly team. It kind of worked. It kind of worked. They just let me leave. Oh, that's the easiest hook I've ever seen. He's not going to dodge it. [laughter] Hold on quickly. [laughter] Okay, dude. I still got it a little bit, dude. I still got it a little bit. We can do it sometimes, dude. Uh pushed back by the enemy team. I don't think I'm worried. Uh is there a regen globe? Thank you. [sighs] Thank you. That was terrible hook. I knew it as soon as I left that one. As soon as that one left my hand, I knew it. Guess who's in the base now? It's you again, Arthus. Okay, let's stay on him. I have hook again in two. >> Stay a while. Has been used. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. Got him. Light bomb. Beautiful light bomb. I'm slowing him. THE POLY BOMB IS INSANE. HOLY [ __ ] Our team comp is so tryh hard. That's insane. Give me that globe. Okay, chat. We're at 115% movement speed now. I can't believe it's every 20. That's so punishing. That's so much work. That's so much work. To be fair, chat, in my defense, I've been playing the bite build. I haven't really been going for globes recently. For the record, I am going to take flare up in this game, though, just to deal a bit more damage to their tanks. They keep rubbing their body against me, so we might as well punish him a little bit. If we do end up magically landing a hook on an enemy, we're going to deal some bonus damage with that, too. Amazing Daniel running for his life in the bottom lane. Hello. Oh, now I want to kill towers that way. Uh-oh. New side quest was just unlocked. [laughter] >> HELLO. PART UP. BART OUT. PART UP. NOT NOT QUITE RIGHT. NO, I WAS ROBBED. I was straight up robbed. [screaming] Good light bomb. I'll bite once. I got to back up, bro. That's not fair. The hook was in the air, man. The hook was in the air. No. GOT HIM. I DID SOMETHING. WOW, GUYS. LOOK AT ME. I'M SO HELPFUL ALL THE TIME. I can peel him off you. We're good. Hello. He's tender. I have two bites soon. I think we got moved out. That's fine. Another hook and seven. Do we have portal? >> [laughter] >> I'm starting. >> Guess where you went again. [laughter] >> [ __ ] Give me that glove. Give me that glove, dude. Give me that glove. I need top I need top gloves, dude. I'm so I'm actually getting pretty quick, actually. Hold on. I was just going to say how slow I am, but we're kind of cruising. >> Allow me to join you in your fight. >> Uh I need 12 more for the next level. My mana is really bad. I think I need to back. Let's just also remove my retreat pink. >> I hit it all the time on accident. I don't want people to run away, dude. >> Protector. >> Uh, bite is up again in 25 seconds. Top lane might actually keep pushing. I'm not sure. Objective is down bottom. Let's see if we can get in there. Lopes. Beautiful. Medivh believed in the hook. Bless his sweet little heart, dude. Uh, ping your portal. What's the cool down? Oh my god. I got him. [laughter] I like the ice block though. I like the ice block a lot. Arthus back into tower rage. We're going to keep him slowed. Great light bomb keeps him stunned, too. might have actually pushing him away from where we were going to kill him with her ult unintentionally. Uh I'm going to pop trait and try to keep moving, but that route was proving a little too powerful. He is tender and he is getting away. OH [ __ ] ARTAN IS TURNING around with the slap to the face on Mayv as well. The enemy team, they do still have a few in the area, not many. Uh, Art Tannis not afraid at all. Walking right in against us. We have 10 seconds on gorge. And we're just going to keep this guy as slow as poss. Oh no. [laughter] Did someone put baby in the corner? The hook landed. Dodge it. GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD. Knew it was coming. And we got out of the way. I just want to put him in the corner again. [laughter] >> Two seconds on hook. is waiting for you. >> I believed in that one. That's why you should never believe, chat. You'll never be let down. Two seconds on next hook. Man, that's a lot of splash damage going into the Zebo. I pulled a zombie out of there. Great. Uh, I can move up and put a little poison out, but I'm not doing too much else. >> I'll pop trait right here. Try to keep him slowed. Good hook. Light bomb. I need mana real bad. I can't get to that region globe behind me. >> Friendly team might be cruising out. We're at 55 region globes right now. >> [laughter] >> NO, [screaming] [laughter] he's still slowed. He's still slowed. I can't follow. I can't follow on Decard. He's tendered. He could selfheal quite a lot. We need to be worried about that actually. Poly bombs are running wild. Uh, mana is at an alltime low. Did they forget I'm here? [groaning] >> He spawn a minion. He spawned a minion. He knew. He knew. [gasps] He knew. [sighs] Give me that globe. We're about to be at 60. Reduce the cool down of hook by 4 seconds. I need that. I need the hook practice. Absolutely. I need the hook practice. Are we doing something? WHY WAS I BROUGHT HERE? ARE YOU GUYS DOING ARE YOU BUSY? Oh my god. Hello. He's right here. He's right here. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Kite it out. Kite it out. He's slowed. He's slowed. He's slowed. You got this. He's slowed. You got this. He's slowed. I'm not rooted. I'm not rooted. I got a bite. Yeah. Three, two, one. >> Have a [laughter] nice day. [laughter and gasps] >> Uh, we are moving at 120%. What's mount speed, chat? Is it 130? I might be able to get there, dude. Give me some time. activated. >> Uh, we are probably not going to get probably not going to get to 130%. Ah, [ __ ] I GOT HIM. OH, RIGHT BACK INTO THE SAME [ __ ] BUILDING. [laughter] Oh [ __ ] Hook is ready again. Someone's on the objective. Who has it? And where are you going? I have a Daniel on me. A super slow Daniel. Light bomb is out. We hit. Pulling back. I'm not worried about the nazebo damage at all. We're just going to march it down towards him. He keeps spawning [ __ ] minions right when I go in for the hook. I hate it. I actually hate it. >> Uh might be able to get a side angle hook here, but probably not. He's got to know I'm over here. He just moved back over. Where is Decard, though? I do have I do have Gorge. If we see him, we could just cruise up right behind him. Hello. Goodbye. Oh, GIVE HIM THE OBJECTIVE AND STUN HIM AGAIN. [laughter] OKAY, I don't want this [ __ ] thing. Someone else take this from me. I'm getting out and we're throwing hooks. Perfect. Uh, we are looking real good to close out strong here. If I see Arthus, I can pull him back in. The enemy Artanis has emerged. Uh, we are at 69 stacks and we don't even have an Alexstrazza in our game. I genuinely find that quite good. Quite good, dude. I'm going to pop crit so I can stay on him. Light bomb on the back line. He's slowed. He's slowed. I'm on him. Oh no. I'm peeling for you, bud. I'm peeling for you. Uh I do have the belly, so let's put the beast in it. >> Hey, Jr. I'm pulling it back in. He didn't put a minion IN FRONT OF ME THAT TIME. UH, Arthus slowed and rooted. Uh, but I don't think you're getting out. Oh, maybe he is. I should have stayed in. [laughter] [gasps] Oh my god. Oh my god. MORE GLOVES. GIVE TIES MORE GLOBES. Their line is sighting me real hard. Until then, Stasis is out again. Light bomb. Chat, this might be the most disgusting comp we've ever put together to use against somebody. Dude, that might be the grossest thing we've ever brought into quick match. Imagine if my accuracy with the hooks was actually good. Good lord. Good lord. 43% of team's damage soaked too. That's not too bad. That's not too bad. Hey, 69 stacks in game and 69 levels out of it. At least for a little bit longer. At least for a little bit longer. Tell us for today's game. Hungry for more tenderizer second helping gorge meat hook flare up AND MASTER hooker at level 20. The hooks were coming online. They were getting there. We had to warm up the old chain, but they were getting there. What surprises me is how much [ __ ] damage I did and how much [ __ ] healing I did. I outhealed Deckard Kane. Wow. We also made someone mad. I didn't think it was going to be the Deckard. [laughter] [clears throat] [laughter] [ __ ] maybe you should heal a little more. [gasps and laughter] Thank you all so much for watching. Hope you enjoyed today's video. The [ __ ] enemy team did it. [snorts] I'll see you guys again very soon with some more Heroes of the Storm.
