Nerf clone, base stats are high enough that clone does not need that extra damage shit. Increase health on clone to compensate, just a bit though.

Give Monstrosity the multi-symbiote talent baseline level 10, and the dig ability baseline, but only near allies. Thus turning it into a more team-oriented ultimate that can double as constant pushing power.
>>
>>157734852
that's actually a pretty solid way to make monstro useful

so if you were going full hat build on an illidan or something yo could have a monstrosity with a hat on it in the teamfight while still helping out illi himelf instead of taking the hat entirely off to use ultimate evolution

I thought he was a niche pick solely due to requiring skill, but was getting good results.

I guess things change quickly with patches.

Hey, speaking of warriors that need buffs, why did they change Stitches trait so much? It seems infinitely worse now.

>>157743285
He's a niché pick because he only works on some maps and he isn't even very good on them.

Pros strictly play him as splitpusher with the waveclear talent on 1. That makes him even worse in teamfights though. Falstad and especially Brightwing, Zagara and E.T.C. offer either better splitpush or better teamfight or both.

If he's talented for it he becomes great at hunting down squishies problem is too that he's very vulnerable himself and especially an organized team fucks him up.

Ideally you splitpush with him and then when a teamfight happens you burrow in or behind the enemy team and go for something juicy in their backline like a Kael. Due to your movementspeed and relentless you should be unpeelable and either get the kill or isolate their backline from their frontline. If they collapse on you you have your essence and E to sustain so your team can follows up.

Problem is that only works well in hectic team fights. If the enemy knows what to do you're fucked. Pro Dehakas frontline for their team but the issue is that he's shit at that. He soaks up dmg to no end, doesn't have an engage and his Q has shit range.

What's the story with Gul'dan's visual changes, big difference or hardly noticable? I already feel like Fel Flame is way cooler looking than it feels to cast.

>>157751763
Seeing Marudan go up in price a while back was super weird but it's really cool that 10k heroes are gradually deflating. Unlike a certain company who justified releasing their characters at an even higher price point and then never going back to make them cheaper.
Greyman is pretty fun and if you're interested you should get him. He's actually not very hard to play unless you start getting too invested in hitting flasks or keeping your combo meter, which often gets you into a lot of trouble. Otherwise you're basically Raynor who can become the butcher if people get too close.

I think that award goes to Zagara or Murky. Murky is extremely easy to clear camps with, he just can't do boss.

Arguably, you shouldn't really be soloing boss most of the time anyway. Generally you should wait until completely safe, in which case, who gives a shit if Rexxar has an easier time doing boss than everyone else?

>>157758462
I think the most annoying thing is that in HotS invisibility is invincibility. Only 2 heroes have any kind of anti-stealth move and any character without a skill shot is 100% helpless to stop him. Even if you do have target spells he's undetectable for 2 seconds so if you can't 100 to 0 him the instant he pops up he gets away every single time.

Not 2 seconds, 1. Well, 2,5 but only if he takes the talent that halves his crit output and finishes quest.
And there are literally 3 heroes that cannot reveal stealth with any AoE: LiLi (who counters him with blinds anyway), Kharazim (who is most fucked, but still, he can take the reveal on Q talent) and other Samuro.

Samuro's baaaaaad.

If the enemy has any semblance of brain-power, they won't let you do anything. 25% movespeed on hit is still too slow when spam of CC is going to come your way.

You don't make a binary hero like Samuro without giving him some real power. He's too weak for a melee assassin without sustain. Fuck, Butcher's a better Samuro, and can survive and deal out more threat without "HURR INTELLIGENT GIMMICKS LIKE STEALTH (Easily countered by fucking moving a little closer to your monitor) AND DECEPTIVE ILLUSIONS (which can't take burst and will easily give way to which is the real Samuro).

>>157767418

I think you're heavily underestimating this hero. You say he's no good if the other team has any brain power, I say the rest of your team should be able to account for this.

Really though, I do believe his strength will be in his split push potential, even if his illusions do immediately die to tower damage. A 16s cooldown on illusions that do semi-respectable creep damage, with a cd reduction talent at 13? That's fucking insane. Not to mention with his illusion ult lvl 20 improvement, he can basically send his illusions across the map and teleport to them to take camps/push lanes.

>>157769153

Kind of the right idea. Phantom Lancer would literally just split push and jungle all game and come out 6 slotted at 25 minutes to shit on the enemy team.
>>
>>157769845

What kind of bronze shitters are you playing against to just let you do that?
>>
>>157769401
But his two clones are much weaker than 1 regular hero, so if you are using this strategy it's like your team is playing with 4.5 heroes, and will most likely lose.
Zeratul is also "invincible" under the same argument, but that's irrelevant in comparison to the whole game.

This game goes by average team MMR, not individual.
So it could potentialyl give you shitters WAY below you, or you could be a shitter that gets matched with good players, so long as your team's total average MMR is equivalent to the opposing team's.

Which makes no sense. But whatever. Can't make it individual=based, game doesn't have enough players.

>>
>>157775065
You don't pick Vikings for the teamfight potential. You do it for the map-wide soaking and mercing, which gives your team the advantage in exp soak (By a huge margin) and pushing. Eventually you do, yeah, but that's generally when the soaking begins to slow down either as a result of the map control swinging too much in your favor so your Vikings are at risk of being killed too easily, etc. Shit like that. But yeah, you do teamfight eventually.

Kael got some nerfs and fell out of meta. Jaina is definitely better than him right now.

Li-Ming is a tossup. They're both good and while I give Li-Ming the slight edge due to range, Jaina's CC and permaslow is incredibly helpful against all the retarded melee out there.

Nova don't switch out the real Nova, Samuro's puts the real one in a different spot than he was before so he can use it to dodge and juke. They also do damage.

Call me when Nova can manually turn on stealth as a baseline ability.

>>157790313
>Samuro's puts the real one in a different spot than he was before so he can use it to dodge and juke. They also do damage.
Only if he doesn't take bladestorm. If he doesn't take bladestorm he will never do damage to a decent team. If he doesn't take images he will die instantly every teamfight.

>>157802548
never said he was top tier, but he belongs in C at the very least, if not B. at this point, gazlowe being low tier is giant meme. he's gotten so many buffs but people still think "lol gazlowe shit hero"

>>157802742
i'm dead serious, people are sleeping on jaina.

if you don't trust me, trust the data. jaina is one of the highest winrate heroes in the game at master/diamond mmr. last i checked she was about 4% higher.

li-ming is actually kind of mediocre at this point, it's just flashy when she does work, and her being good is a meme just like gazlowe being shit is a meme
>>
>>157803413
If D is the lowest tier. Gazlowe belong there. He's probably the worst hero in the game. The only map he's even sort of viable on is Braxxis.
>>
>>157770894

>he's a mash up of the clone characters from Dota who were made from his original kit from Warcraft 3

Wouldn't that just make him exactly like he used to be?
>>
>>157803413
please name me any situation or matchup where Gaz is the correct hero to choose, and not some other hero over him
>>
>>157801196

Samuro, in my opinion, probably falls into upper B category, possibly A. Remains to be seen. (At least in my diamond scrub league experience)

Because no one picks him because he's fucking terrible. He only sees play in a low level games because people stand still and just auto attack like a fucking idiot.
>>
>>157803664
nah

wc3 blademaster's images didn't do any damage, they were just there for mindgames

dota had illusions that actually do damage, and it also had Morphling who has an ability to instantly teleport to his illusion (sort of like Samuro's R, but the illusion lasts much longer so you can do more stuff like splitpushing and then insta teleporting to your base to escape)

he's not really like PL at all except that old PL had an invis move like Samuro does
>>
So really what are we gonna get at Blizzcon? Last year we got all shit no one even wanted. So what heroes do we not want to see? That should give us a clear indication of who they will choose.

>>157804813
>never said he was top tier, but he belongs in C at the very least, if not B

Okay lets break it down. According to that list, in C Tier there's Nazeebo, Abathur, Vikings, and Azmodan

>Nazeebo
Brings better team damage, area control, waveclear, and can do merc camps nearly as fast as Gaz

>Abathur
Brings better soak, global presence, a clone, and better utility over all

>Vikings
Global presence, better soak, better utility again, mercs as fast if not faster than Gaz

>Azmodan
Better waveclear and lane push, late game team damage, can siege building just as fast as Gaz

Should I do the B Tier specialists, anon?

>>157804813

A well handled Jaina is much more effective than a Li-Ming at higher skill brackets, that is a fact.

My thoughts on why that is:

> Jaina has a more immediate presence and a shorter reaction period to DPS inittiation when a team fight begins. Li-Ming takes a little longer and lacks a certain level of instant damage capability that Jaina does.

> Jaina's Slow is much more consistent, and immediate throughout a teamfight, putting the enemy at a huge disadvantage when it comes to battlefield manipulation.

> Jaina's area denial is second to very few heroes right now, something Li-Ming can't accomplish against a competent opponent. If you want to get where Jaina doesn't want you, you're taking some beefy damage and a slow.

> Jaina's push and consistent harassment potential is, superior to Li-Ming's, I arrive at this conclusion because of frostbolt's speed of travel versus magic missiles, as well as blizzard's near immediate results versus a slow traveling giant orb people can see seconds before it even gets close to them.

> Jaina can output respectable damage up close, whereas Li-Ming has to take Calamity (a useless talent I might add, fight me) to deal anything close to what Jaina can output to defend herself baseline.

Jaina's only real downside other than mana issues, is that for her full arsenal of spells to be of use, she needs to be close to the middle of a fight. A very dangerous place when the enemy has a diving lineup.

Bladestorm is probably only good at lvl 20 when you triple its damage. Its amazing how some heroes are so super shit in the brawl because they dont get their talents.

So what would be some reasonable nerfs for samuro?

I'd say prevent DOT/debuff removal on Mirror Image, make illusion master controls baseline, and cut illusion damage or health in half.

Illusion master would then restore illusion stats to current level + give him the teleport back.

>>157833394
I played for a bit over a month. Went from level 1 to 72.
The game feels like to promises to get better as you go on, but the more you go, the more you start to realize you are literally doing the same grinds over and over, and the only changes are cosmetic.
All characters are the exact same, as long as they are of the same class, the quests are boring and ultimately useless as it's more efficient to do dungeons, which were fun for a while, but eventually got very repetitive.
The world is quite nice looking, but there's almost no incentive to actually experience it, as I said the most efficient thing you can do is queue for dungeons while you manage your auctions, or watching porn.

This isn't an excuse though. MMOs don't have to be bad, it's just the current formula that's bad.
The only MMO I managed to get into was Shin Megami Tensei Imagine, and while far from perfect it did a lot of things you don't see in any other MMO that were a huge leap in the right direction.

>>157835326
The thing is, nobody likes MMOs, people just get hooked on them due to skinner box manipulation. It's a repeating task with a sole purpose of getting people to obsess over it, without it actually having to be fun. Like free mobile games for example.

His trait could be the Staff of Origination. The passive aspect would be that the staff provides Rafaam with a shield. As Rafaam takes or deals damage the staff charges and lets him summon a random powerful minion onto the field.
Mirror of Doom could be another ability. Basically it would summon a mummy zombie for every hero currently on screen.
His other abilities could be Timepiece of Horror and Lantern of Power.
The timepiece would best work as his second heroic and deal something like XXX amount of damage spread among all enemies around Rafaam .The lantern gives either an ally or Rafaam a massive boost to all their stats for some time.

Those would be abliestes almost directly lifted from the encounter in HS.

>>157843479
Don't try to play like Joh or ETC, use your presence in fights to your advantage, play so the enemy team can't ignore you because of your E and poke, but don't go ham early on so they prioritize you.
Always take Sindra over ghouls. Good enemies can easily pick off your ghouls, or they just die to AOE.
Make sure to balance health and mana, and surpise anyone who tries to trade with a D>Q>W while your E is up. Healing talent from deathcoil is better than AA healing.
Lastly, positioning is very important. Either scare away divers by putting your E up early so they see they'll jump into a slow, or if your other warrior is initiating, stagger your root and trait slow to secure the kill

Odin.

It's always been the better baseline ult. Consider what it brings you:

Now we look at Laser Drill:
+extra body for the enemy to click on
~mediocre damage
~short range
-like really short
-it ain't gon kill nobody smart
~ranged bodyblock, maybe sometimes if you pray hard

Odin is better unless you REALLY need to zone out some dive-happy nigger or two like Illidan.

Red actually has a healer and its the best in the game right now. Plus Artanis is sick with enough heals.

The diplomatic route:

"I feel like I have more fun with you lately when were just playing for fun" only play quick match and brawl and stuff with him.

Play hero league on your own or with someone else.

The straightforward and honest route:

"You still suck on those heroes. Pick someone you're better on for competitive until you get better on Medivh and Gul."

Fair point. Yeah you're right that it does depend on the TLV player for sure, But it also depends on the blue players. Of course skill, smarts, teamwork, and luck will matter most.

Most players will clear lanes and let their minions walk into enemy cannon fire where TLV can soak up the XP safely. So that will depend on what blue players do.

Erik can potentially stealth, so that's one lane that can generally be safely soaked.

Olaf has HP to play a little dangerously in whatever is the hard lane.

Baleog is the only one that really should be positioned in an easy lane and could have bullying problems. If he's in an easy lane because other heroes on his side are there his damage is nice.

>>
>>157853359

Players can learn the basics of strong meta characters and win enough to move up to a good spot in quick match.

Then they can seed into a higher tier in hero league and place in diamond or platinum with some luck.

You can end up being matched with them before they've gone through enough competitive games to know how it's really played. And before they've moved down to where they actually belong in the competitive scene.

If by isn't op you mean complete garbage, then yes. They don't really release heroes that land in the middle, it's either extremely op or just the lowest winrate in the game by a lot. took them like 2 months to buff lunara from a 20% winrate and fix her bugged auto attacking.

Why did you left LoL/Dota/etc for Hots?
>>
>>157872913
LoL's strict, stale, forced meta eventually drove me off, and the laning phase is an obligatory borefest
Dota is fine, I just couldn't go back to those long-ass games after the 20 minute comfiness hots had to offer
>>
>>157872913
got tired of Riot's bullshit

>>
>>157872913
I never really left as I only played Lol for a short amount of time years ago, giving up when they nerfed support and tank types across the board to make the dps types feel better about themselves. I never reached the true meta stages.

Dota i never bothered with as I couldn't deal with all the mechanics and multitasking involved with it. I missed when DOTA barely came out as a mod for WC3 and was just something to fuck around as a hero in, not some autistic tourney srsbsnz that it is now. Alot of the mechanics are only there due to the previous hardcoded limitations of WC3, not because of some carefully decided decision for gameplay balance.
>>
Nobody in this game can tell if it's a clone or not.

If the weeaboo katana orc does no damage to you but you chunk a 3rd of his health in one auto attack, THEN IT'S A FUCKING CLONE

If there are weeaboo katana orcs in lane attacking minions while another one is on an objective, then the ones NOT at the objective ARE FUCKING CLONES

If 2 weeaboo katana orcs are going one way and a third is going the opposite direction, then the 2 ARE FUCKING CLONES

I swear, Blizzdrones make me actually WANT to have an aneurysm.

All things I do not miss about LoL at all. HotS makes you feel like you're accomplishing more in 20 minutes than in an entire 40 minute game of LoL. The fact that merc camps in HotS go down the lane and act as bigger stronger minions as opposed to just giving a CDR or attack damage buff evert 5 minutes or whatever it was, is also much more interesting.

Basically, I just enjoy what HotS did with the genre MUCH more.

>If the weeaboo katana orc does no damage to you but you chunk a 3rd of his health in one auto attack, THEN IT'S A FUCKING CLONE
And then you switch to the other. And it turns out to be an illusion, so you attack the third, and found the real one! whoops, he took illusion master, so now it's not the real one anymore, and you have to start again, and when you finally do find the real one again, he reactivates mirror image, and we start all over again. and let's be honest faggot, you die before he even needs to reactivate mirror image
>If there are weeaboo katana orcs in lane attacking minions while another one is on an objective, then the ones NOT at the objective ARE FUCKING CLONES
Or he took illusion master, and he's testing to see if people will attack the illusion before swapping to the illusion Which can pretend to channel, faggot
>If 2 weeaboo katana orcs are going one way and a third is going the opposite direction, then the 2 ARE FUCKING CLONES

I feel like they don't get enough credit as far as actual hero and kit design goes, honestly.

Talents leave something to be desired, but only in the sense that some heroes have great talent trees and have actual options, while others are so incredibly "Good vs. bad" in their talents, it's fucking crazy.

teleports / dashes in this game are physically broken

for example if someone teleports when you use a murky ult on them it just cancels the murky ult and puts it on a 10 second cooldown. other stuns (like butchers) might not even activate at all. and it's really just the 10s refund for murky - other heros have their ults entirely consumed despite them doing no damage / cc

I honestly don't see what the case is for Bladestorm other than it's mindless. It's truly not good enough to be a 110s CD ultimate, not to mention until you get the level 20 talent it has the (significant) downside of letting everyone on the team know which Samuro is the real one.

As a general rule, a completed "quest to get more damage" talent will be stronger than "do more damage right now" because it has the downside of being a quest
and yes Samuro follows this rule

its better and allows you to pull of stupid shit as well as mind games

go into the launcher settings and set hots to use the 32bit executable instead of 64bit

apparently this bug existed since the moment they put it on ptr and they still havent fixed it
>>
>>157903531
It is even affecting their other games.

I'm not sure how you fuck up that badly.
>>
>>157903598
not only did they NOT FIX a known gamebreaking bug for a week, but they PUT IT INTO THE MAIN GAME instead of leaving it on ptr until fix

>Guys lets combine Zeratul and Vikings. But make sure he can do really insane damage. Also don't give him mana and give him some low cooldowns.
>>
>>157902886
Bladestorm reveals the real Samuro. For a character who has no survivability options other than trickery, this is a huge deal. Also it deals less DPS than you would by basic attacking and often times isn't even good enough to get past heals.
>>
>>157904069
The movement speed and invisibility are huge survivability options, he can go faster than mounted speed. Not to mention at 13 he can spec his windwalk to be a blink. That isn't even counting his illusions which is the trickery.
>>
>>157904000
>implying mana matters
for most characters it literally doesn't at all
>>
>>157905382
He basically means he never has to go back and is constantly on the battlefield. Which means a lot of a dps that's as hit and run as Samuro. It basically means he can just infinitely harass objectives.

Other heroes that have mana have a point where they can't.

Truly, Xul is the most versatile warrior in the game. He can be built to effectively counter any other character.
>>
>>157906656
because of how heavily the algorithm weights low deaths he used to get mvp a lot

i think they added a special case for him now
>>
>>157906764
"any" character
as long as that character relies on rightclicks to do damage and/or doesn't have a way to stop creepers from walking into melee range

>>157906985
xul seems like quite a strong counter to sam 2bh

100% of his damage comes from rightclick so shade makes him invincible and talented cursed strikes makes him 75% invincible while also preventing sam from hitting anyone ELSE
>>
>>157907141
I don't even like Samuro but Samuro can beat the fuck out of Xul. He does so much damage, and any good Samuro is going to crush you with clones and leave you running away with your shield popped like the little bitch you are.

Now go back to another lane and clear it. It's all your good for. We'll call you when we need your root, and then you can leave again.
>>
>>157907291
Sounds like someone's lost against a Necromancer or two.
>>
>>157907213
Yeah it's a long cooldown. You make him pop it and he's just a sitting duck. At lvl 10 you can dodge pretty much deal with anything Xul does just with clones and late game Samuro and his clones do so much damage it doesn't matter.

If Samuro just causally walks up to you and starts swinging, then yes you should win, because he's shit.
>>
>>157907383
Actually I haven't, mostly because the only maps Xul were good on have been out of the rotation. I guess now that Temple and Blackheart are back Xul will start being in games again.
>>
>>157895834
You have not seen Arthas/greymane with executioner then.
>>
>>157907405
if samuro just leaves fights whenever xul presses a button then his team gets a free 4v5 for 4-6 seconds every time he presses w
>>
>>157907718
You don't leave the fight, because if he pops it, it's usually because he's running if he's not. You just keep the clones there, vanish and sit in a bush and then proceed to fuck him when it runs out.

If it's a team fight, you probably aren't focusing Xul anyway. You should be picking off the mages. I used to love playing Xul, but they nerfed him into being a glorified wave clear which is why he's mostly picked now. He can lane two lanes by himself if they are close enough and it allows you to put everyone else in another lane.
>>
>>157907912
yeah but my point is if xul is in the middle of his team he can just push w when sam starts htiting mages
>>
>>157908113
Sam shouldn't be in a middle of the fight. Just like Zeratul isn't in the middle of the fight. He should be hitting from behind and going after key targets.

Xul is a front liner he shouldn't be near Samuro. Samuro is a hit and run character with massive damage. He's not Butcher, he's Zeratul.
>>
How good is Dehaka? Should I get him?
>>
>>157910062
dehaka is fun but not really worth buying right now
>>
>>157910062

I think he's underrated. And at the very least a solid warhead/braxis/dragonshire pick because of the global. Really good at tricking people into focusing him because they think they can kill him when they can't.

Tough though with the delayed skillshots and you've got to make sure you've got essence going into a big fight.
