Zul'jin (the Warcraft version, not the WoW version) teased by HotS' development team

>Which heroes should I buy?
Play all the heroes on free rotation and see who you like. Don't buy heroes just to get into ranked. It's not worth it.

Did you even have faith to begin with?
>>
>>163337484
he never was.

the only thing that came close to being slightly OP, was his level 1 talent, that allowed him to change his W roll.

Ragnaros existence is a testament to how retarded the majority of the HOTS community is.
>>
>>163338296
ragnaros was not OP, his split push due to the lava wave was (is ?)
the exp contribution is almost as good vikings' (the only difference is that TLV exp lead comes before lv10, ragnaros' midway between 10 and 20) while having no real drawback since he is also a pretty decent body in teamfights

too bad I actually played agains and with some other ragns and at the end of the match they had 2 times the exp of every other charcters while they actually never did any solo splitpush
ofc I'm talking about QMs and unrankeds so I guess he doesnt have the same impact in a master HL/TL game but still he potentially can

Valeera is a bloodelf slave rogue and sexfriend of Varian.

Alleria is generic elven archer Nr. 2 with nothing notable about her.
Nr. 1 got turned into a banshee and makes the enemy team cry on BoE
Nr. 3 is taking Rhonin cock daily in Dalaran.

Yeah but the same leak that had Varian, Rag, Nazeebo / Lunara / Muradin skins, and the mounts also had Zul'jin and Valeera. The leak was posted here a day before Blizzcon.
>>
>>163344226
>>163344345
Speaking of this, what the fuck use is his E build for? Meteor and Sulfuras I get, but what about a Blast Wave build? It just seems like a lesser Q build, although the shield talent is great, it's too delayed.
>>
>>163344598
An inbetween of Smash and Meatball. I personally went that at first for a while, it's solid. But Smash is my personal favourite.
>>
>>163344645
The strange thing about it is that it feels almost as if you want to use it on others moreso than yourself, and there's that talent that increases it's damage by 100% when on yourself, and it just doesn't seem to mesh too well with the way you use it. I guess it's good synergy with the 16 E talent, but I dunno.
>>
>>163344598
Shield, slow, two delayed AoE at double damage to heroes that also increase your waveclear and give 25% movement speed.
Great against mobile heroes or for diving backline.

Q is awesome if they have a frontline i.e. 2 tanks or melee assassins.

W punishes kiting hard and improves poke a lot.
>>
>>163344598
Point was that all other abilities are good even untalented so you take blast talent to bring up to par.
Thing is those talents are also weak/not synergize and by going E you miss out on so much sweet Q/W shit that makes it imho not worth it.

Is this game worth getting into if i can't for the life of me get into LoL or DotA 2 nowadays. I put almost 2k hours into DotA 2 and nearly 1k into LoL and the drive/spark just isn't there for neither of those games anymore.

well there's alot more retards here i guess, the beginning can be rough as people said, its usually a 1 sided curbstomp with the occasional comeback

It's Blizzard smash bros. You don't need to invest a ton of time in the game, so there isn't really any downsides to trying it
>>
>>163352293
Certainly try it. Simpler/easier to get into. Doesn't have anywhere near the set-up bullshit as DotA 2 (all the settings, hotkeys, editing text files and shit) It's generally a consistent game. Where for me LoL only got worse and worse (retried it recently, garbage) and DotA is very extreme/hit and miss.

HOTS is good for actually enjoying yourself. I've got 2k hours myself in dota and league and I'm never going back to them because despite being more shallow, HOTS is actually enjoyable. I don't have to worship the dick of the meta every step of the way, I can just pick whoever and go from there.

More-or-less. Especially if you're actually good at the hero. There are "better" heroes than others, in a general sense. And there are niches. But if you're legit' good at a hero, you can play them and do well.
>>
>>163352672

Every hero is varying degrees of viable, but there are definitely heroes that are in the "meta" and have high pick rates, usually because they are easy or just OP.

and yeah the enemy was retarded. enough to be always split so it would be pretty much always 4v3

Heroes in this game all fall into situational niches that they all excel at, but some situations arise more often than others causing them to be considered "safe" or "high tier" picks. Very rarely will you have a case where a hero is never good, but different maps and objectives clearly favor certain. Kits over others. For example, wave clear and AOE heroes excell on Infernal Shrines because the objective is about killing 40 minions before the other guys, so naturally the heroes with the best AOE are considered must haves on that map because it gives you a huge advantage on the objective specifically.

ok, to be fair you both were right and wrong
nightmare is way better than tranq in this situation (hand 2/3 of the times desu)

>>163352672
There is a meta in that certain heroes are always good, some are better than others and certain one's are brutal depending on the team compositions and or map.

Having a variety of maps allow heroes that otherwise fall behind to instantly fuck shit hard, i.e. arms Varian kinda outclasses Kerrigan as a diving burster, but Kerrigan is just fucking nuts on Infernal Shrines due to how her abilities and talents work.

All in all, the range of meta is much wider, and less important unless you're hitting Masters rank. You can pick Arthas and go to town.

Do note it's a team game though. While one person can hardcarry in LoL or Dota, that shit won't fly in HotS. Team effort over individual skill. Much more relaxed due to that, though.
>>
>>163354320
That'd balance it out. Positioning is huge already, but the wind-up AND channeling making you helpless and out of the fight is a big problem. I feel either vulnerable on your target, or resistant on yourself would alleviate that problem.
>>
>>163354875
Good suggestion. Vuln, and/or resistant. Another consideration is a lower CD, it's currently at 70s--which is fine. Perhaps a vuln and/or resist + slightly lower CD would be nice--try to go out for ganks more. Another one is Unstoppable but I wouldn't want that in--she should be able to be punished.

Why do people complain so much about Warcraft heroes? It's there biggest, most successful franchise. It's the only franchise that could actually stand on its own as a "Team Brawler", quite easily infact with the ridiculous wealth of characters available to them.

I get that some people want every character from D2, or every single Starcraft unit to get a name and pretend they're actually somebody, but still, Warcraft still has tons of K̶E̶L̶'̶T̶H̶U̶Z̶A̶D̶S̶ heroes that could easily fit into the game whereas they'd have to start scraping the bottom of the barrel for heroes from Diablo and Starcraft pretty fucking quickly if they got as much spotlight as Warcraft.

Also where the fuck are all the Warcraft maps? I'd rather have a map at this point.

They don't complain about Warcraft characters. They complain that we get 5 in a row and then one from another series.

They said they didn't want to do something like the Diablo event again because they didn't want to release that many heroes in a row from the same universe. Then they do it again and again for Warcraft.

Warcraft has way more raw material to work with so of course there is going to be more Warcraft characters, but when you get like 5 in a row from the same universe it gets boring.

They said they don't want to have their designers FORCED to make this many heroes from the same universe in a row, because it limits design space. They want to make whatever heroes they feel would be fun or are missing niches in the game, and if by accident there are a few from the same universe in a row, so be it.

Top fucking lel
You other franchise fanboys need to think about it logically.
If World of Warcraft didn't blow up the way it did chances are we wouldn't have gotten the shit show of games since.
Maybe Diablo 3 would have been actually good who knows.
But to think new heroes that they want people buying with real money arn't going to cater mostly to their biggest fan base is pretty retarded.
Even Hearthstone which is arguably their most successful thing since WoW is based on the WoW universe.

It only gets boring for the Starcraft/Diablo retards. I was fucking ecstatic for Samuro and Ragnaros, and now ZULJIN!!!

Varian was total shit to be honest. They need to add more old heroes from the old games.

I want to see:
- Everybodys favourite lich
- A Nathrezim, like Tichondrius/Mal'Ganis
- Rohkan/Vol'Jin
- A Eredar, like Archimonde/Kiljaedan
- A Pit Lord, like Mannoroth
- A Draenei
And the list goes on....

For maps, i want Warsong Gulch capture the flag, Arathi Basin and i want to see them do something like Alterac Valley 40-man showdown for a brawl or something similar.

They can do 10 times more with Warcraft, than what they can do with all of their other franchises COMBINED. Honestly, i am surprised that Starcraft and Diablo is as well represented as it is. Just think about it, there has yet to be a Warcraft Event. Blizz gives you way more love than you deserve, and all you do is whine.

How about fuck your moba shit ideology. Blizz has clearly made it very clear, that they don't give a flying fuck about what "fits" a moba.

Why is everyone so fucking bricked in the head, think outside the fucking box for a second.

It doesn't have to be an "implement". They could base it around the same idea and theme of Warsong Gulch, and make it a flag that spawns in the middle that you fight for, or some shit.

Before you go raving about how "Ugh nooo, zee would never work, is too innovative for ze kuku mind in me head". Just let them try already. I can think of plenty of things that HOTS did that "would never work", and turned out to become the new fucking standard for "ze precious moba market".

>>163352672
I'm the guy you replied to, and pretty much everyone else has it right - each hero has their given job, and while you typically want to spread out your roles to have a more balanced team composition, as long as your team works together and plays to their strengths then you have a pretty solid chance of winning no matter what.

The only downside that I would say that HOTS has compared to Dota and League is that you cannot carry like you can in those games. You can do really well, of course, but it's basically impossible to win games by yourself - you have to have your team back you up, even if it's the worthless fuckup who has done nothing but die all game. There's a saying that's been floating around ever since HOTS came out that I've found is the truest thing about this game:

It is often better to do something stupid as a team than to do something smart alone.

Illusions AI is retarded. If he's in a position where he's off by himself and you sneak up on him he's dead just by body blocking with the clones before he can do any serious damage to you.

>>163363884

It was and is a good mechanic in the sense it added a pretty sizable gap between players.
Hots doesn't really have that. You aren't going to get stuck in Bronze or Silver because you can't last-hit, like in League

The "laning" phase of Hots is also painfully forgiving.

>short lanes
>towers and a literal wall so they can't dive you

Idk. I don't so much mind the removal of last hitting, but there isn't anything to replace it. Can just idle in lanes until the first objective spawns.

No if you activate your illusions while in a lane. They will not always focus heroes. They'll randomly just decide to attack minions instead of the hero right in front of them.

If you have never played Samuro try not to give advice on him.

Last Hitting was a holdover from DOTA being a Warcraft III Mod and the developers doing the best they could to give the players a meaningful income that was based on interaction to weed out the idiot children who played Naruto Arena and Tower Defenses who were looking for a distraction instead of a competition. It was never a good mechanic, and it will never be a good mechanic.

The difference between players in HOTS is based on what they do with themselves while they're in lane rather than how good their last-hitting is. Again, if you're not making an effort to harass your lane opponent, then you're not playing hard enough. There are plenty of opportunities for you to engage yourself while you're laning, and it's not HOTS's fault if you're not taking advantage of them.

How does that make it a bad mechanic, though? Sure, it wasn't the epitome of fun, but Heroes is just sort of lacking in things to do, or think about.

Again, there's very little to be gained/lost in early laning. It's not like you can individually fall behind and be useless because Rexxar killed you twice.

>>163366743

Literally what.

>>163366859
>quick match
>>
>>163367095
Uh, yes. Killing your opponent in lane, pushing their fort/towers gives an early exp lead, which leads to winning teamfights over the first objective, which will further give an exp lead and so on.
>>

>>163367095
>pick sylvanas

>push 2 towers and half fort

Congratulations, you now have a 2-3 levels lead.
>>
>>163367095
Literally what what. If Rexxar kills you twice in lane, then the ENTIRE enemy team is ahead in exp, and 1 soaking body down for a substantial amount of time. Even better, if the objective spawns at the right moment, then your team is forced to poke or give it up since 4v5 is too risky most of the time.

You clearly haven't played at higher levels of competitive play. Getting killed in lane is potentially a HUGE benefit to your team, of course only if your team capitalizes on it.

This is what i mean by the processing power of a potato. You LITERALLY cannot think outside of the sphere of "hurr durr last hit".

HOTS is a 1000 times more dynamic than your toddler mobas.

>>163367623

They shouldn't negatively affect his racial/trait. Just get low then maintain protection on him for increased attack speed, damage or whatever.

Like, I'd say he synergizes well with Tassadar, and is hurt by Brightwing/Malfurion, but his trait also has an active. 'Dunno. Looking forward to him, though.

>>163367095
>How does that make it a bad mechanic, though? Sure, it wasn't the epitome of fun, but Heroes is just sort of lacking in things to do, or think about.
I'mma say this real slow and simple so you get it, okay?

Games are for fun.
Things that are not for fun should not be in games.
If there is a thing that is not fun and it's in the game anyways, it's a bad mechanic.

Last Hitting is not fun (something you said yourself, and something that most of the internet agrees upon).
Last Hitting, despite not being fun, is in a game.
Therefore, Last Hitting, being not fun and being in a game anyways, is a bad mechanic.

Again, for the second time: If you're lacking things to do, then maybe you should stop fucking yourself with your thumb and focus on making yourself useful. Here are some helpful examples on what you can do while in lane:
Prevent the enemy from getting XP, either by harassing them until they hide or outright killing them
Destroy the enemy's buildings, reducing their lane presence and getting your team an XP lead
Ditch your lane to gank another one

>Again, there's very little to be gained/lost in early laning. It's not like you can individually fall behind and be useless because Rexxar killed you twice.
You individually cannot, no. However, your team can fall behind in the XP race and suddenly the enemy has 10 before you do and, oh no! They won a key teamfight for an objective and now you're getting raped by zerg, or skullfucked by a punisher, or your shit is getting blown up by a horny pirate, or you're getting cursed by an effeminate bird, or any number of things depending on the map.

HOTS is a team game. If you fuck up, it may not ruin your day specifically, but it can and will affect your team in numerous ways.

At this point you're just whining that the enemy isn't stupid enough to be killed by you.

>Again, perhaps unfun but added to a skill floor
You know what else adds to the skill floor? Using the wrong tool for the job. It's way harder to put in screws with a hammer than it is to use a screwdriver.

>Yeah, just like League/Dota. Hots doesn't scale quite as hard with skill, though.
I'm starting to think that you're just really, really fucking bad and you don't want to admit it to yourself. There is a marked difference between high and low skill players and it's pretty obvious when you're playing or watching in high leagues.

>Also; why do ranks still mean less than shit?
I can't tell who's the bigger retard here - you for being so fucking stupid, or me for taking the time to humor you.

>Diamond III fresh out of placements, the fuck?
It's because Heroes is willing to throw you a bone and try to save you from ELO Hell if you do well in your placement matches. If you fuck up, you'll get knocked down to whatever league you're supposed to be in, and everything will be fine. If you're not a shitter, you'll stay in Diamond or you'll go higher than that.

>>163370990
They're not used to them. Without coordination like some voice command or the like, it's extremely difficult to predict when a friendly Medivh will plop a portal down. On voice channel, "portal to engage in backline" takes a second to say and everyone knows what the fuck's up. "Portal to save you in front" will let the Jaina running for her life KNOW she should click the damn portal. And so on.
Medivh is simply not common enough for the average player to immediately know what the Medivh player is probably thinking, which really lowers his effectiveness. To add to that, that Medivh player also needs to be good.

Just a very high skill floor hero, basically.

Just disappointed at how easy Diamond/Master was, at least relative to League. Perhaps things'll change over the course of the next few seasons.

Oh, and how forgiving the "laning phase" is. Again, that you can just sit back and soak experience. No, you don't have to play forward, in the lane to soak, cs or whatever. Just hang back and take minor structure damage.

That's a pretty advanced tactic, though. People through Diamond were content to stand in the middle and just push, for whatever reason. Even in losing matchups, lmao.

Correct, you can play aggressively or defensively. If you're Diamond/Master/Prime Dick Sucker in League, this shouldn't be a surprise to you. There are major disadvantages to playing defensively as opposed to aggressively, and if you are as good as you imply you are, we shouldn't be having this conversation because you should understand exactly what those advantages and disadvantages are.

INFERNO doesn't exist in that variant either, perhaps like Kerrigan's Ultralisk, but less shitty. I'm kind of reserved about this one, since Archimonde, Kil'Jaeden, Prince Memezaar or Lord Jaraxus, Meme Lord of the Burning Legion might get added later.

As an Ult, that doesn't go away at the first hit.
A basic ability with that effect and just 4 second duration would be an entirely different game, i.e. perfect for ganking, laning and turning a small skirmish into a winning fight, horrible fucking idea during actual teamfights and fighting behind enemy lines.

Probably 60 seconds. Reasonably long given that it's a Quest Talent that might need up to level 20 to actually complete, but fairly short given how powerful that shit is.
Wasn't that exactly what Nightstalk did before they changed it because it was just a little bonkers?

is this game worth playing alone? I have like 15ish heroes from about a year ago (or two). Tried playing a few games last summer but. Quick Match. Enough said?

>>
>>163376010

The better question is how cases like Rexxar or the Lost Vikings will be handled. Will he need to kill Misha as well? Does a single viking count?

Get friends. That's basically the ranked experience for pessimistic people, and you seem like one.

>>163376417

It's a mixed bag depending on the heroes you want to play. You get your fair amount of shitters like any game with a competitive mode but you can solo carry more than people would think.

Playing shit like Malf/Xul/Characters with globals will help offset any shit teammates and get a few wins.

Of course its always better with friends but i still enjoy it mostly solo
>>
>>163376591
Offense taken, but hear me out regardless of this:
I'm your senior in this game. I can guarantee you you won't have fun with that attitude, so either get some reliable people to play with, or work on staying positive.

And yes, I do. It's my first Moba and I'm just playing this to relax and ram my favorite Blizzard heroes against each other like action figures.
I don't give a shit about being skilled in a game like this, and you shouldn't either. Try Dota if that's what you desire.
>>
>>163376417

After Meme-Random, Hope's End, I was seriously hoping they'd stop with their fucking stories to tell bullshit that had fucking tournaments LITERALLY decided by super "exciting" RNG giving the Yogg player a boardwipe, card draw and a board from a losing position.

>>163380874
If you don't mind, could you give me like a 5 word summary (not a limit) of all of the new heroes released after Auriel?
That'd be Varian, Zarya, Auriel, Ragnaros, and Samuro

>>163381224
Hell yeah it was
>>
>>163381302

>varian
Butcher lite
>zarya
Succcessful port; plays like off-support.
>auriel
Pray your teammates do damage
>ragnaros
Fuck this lane/hero in particular.
>samuro
Spawn of Tracer, Nova and Zeratul
>>
>>163381302

Varian is a counter hero. He builds to counter enemy support mainly.

Zarya plays like she does in Overwatch. Timing shields and melting people with laser. Black hole team ult.

Auriel is a great healer if you duo queue. Does best if you can reliably have a good beacon of hope target to feed you energy

Ragnaros is a mage/melee hybrid with good defense and high damage. Was OP currently nerfed a bit.

Samuro is melee Nova. Sneak in, pop illusions, hit hard and run away. Rinse repeat.
>>
>>163380489
Yeah, still pretty bad but that's because of the small player pool so you usually get terrible matches
>>

Okay that makes a bit more sense. Samuro's big weakness is his early game is kind of garbage. He doesn't get good damage to 10 and and both of his ults have been nerfed to the point that they are just okay.

I can understand banning him because he's annoying, but letting them get Dehaka or Diablo is risky. Not to mention Rag depending on the match.

Honestly the most OP thing going right now is Earthquake into Bloodlust.

Mhm. Had a game that was simply over only five minutes in, and the entire team agreed to just open. Sat in an off-lane occasionally booping a minion until they ended.

I don't know what it's like in Dota, but in League it's 20 minutes, which is about the average length of time of a Hots match. Probably why they didn't bother with a surrender option. And muh comeback mechanics.

I honeastly feel like they should nerf Ragnaros' damage a bit more, but give him more sustain off his Q and give a little love to E. As it stands, you play him primarily as a ranged until you think it's safe to do anything, even then he's easy to blow up. Thus, yet again, the new melee Assassin isn't even an actual melee Assassin.

Generally, should I do it anyway or is 3 melee really something you wanna avoid? Obviously I wouldn't pick them if there was already a specialist / melee assassin, but what if there are two melee warriors or a warrior and another melee that's not the same role? Would it still be bad to pick them?
>>

>>
>>163401389
Wait, I should rephrase that. Nerf his METEOR damage.

I just feel like Meteor is so good that you don't really get to play as a legit "Melee" Assassin when the poke game is just too damn strong. Which is odd considering his Q build is great as well, just, you know, poke.

>>163402289
Exactly. And especially so if you're anywhere near a fort or where a fort was, then they know you're going to just run and MC when you get low enough.

He needs SOMETHING to help him pull off his Q and E builds much more easily because as it stands, the W builds are just safer alternatives which yield just about as much if not more damage if you take into consideration how much you get to poke. Though Q and E would be good against a dive comp, Ragnaros is pretty vulnerable to said dive, so it's like... what the fuck here.

I swear Ranged Assassins like Valla are the best for climbing HL if you're sub-Diamond because nobody protects their squishies. You just swoop in behind and pick them apart and your team then gets to turn around and clean up now that the enemy has no healer or dps.

Winrate is only infalted because he's great in low ranks. The new lead game designer actually took a second to make a side-remark that he wants to talk with the balancing team about making Gazlowe a more viable hero overall.

So there is definitely hope.

Yeah, but she's not even close to release Zarya. The character that so bad they had to emergency buff her the day after and made her fucking broken.

The character they keep bringing up to give reasons why they won't want to buff characters to quickly.
>>
>>163441001
a newly released character who was released at a weak state and got buffed the day after to make sure they're strong and capable of impacting the meta
>>
>>163441065
Yes. I would consider Zarya's release a way bigger blunder than Lunara's release considering the big change they did on her was a animation polish on her auto attacks.

Zarya went from no one picking her, to being banned every game in the span of one day.
>>
>>163441147
probably
in any case that's just another reason why zul'jin will probably be pretty strong on release then
>>
When is earthquake getting nerfed?
>>
>>163441001
Lunara was under 20% winrate, her auto attack was very buggy, the animation too too long to go off and when she switched from her ranged to melee animation it reset her auto. That on top of her no damage from her poison is chromie sized health pool. She was the worst released hero we've had.

Why do you insist on playing a certain way when it's clear your teammates don't know how to/don't want to? 5 idiots with a bad plan > 4 idiots with a good plan. You were the shitter trying to force them to do something they're not comfortable with and get mad they don't go along. It's surprising your team won at all, and no thanks to you.

you also see the attack animation resetting when she switches from ranged to melee without going off, as well as the long wind up time on her attack animation that made stutterstepping pretty much impossible on her. keep in mind this was from last year

thing is you can't really do the 1/4 split if your teammates are off doing their own thing

sort of like you have to help them do a 20 minute boss invade with no vision/kills and the enemy team has falstad

idk keep climbing things get better. kind of

>>163453401

Chogall NEEDS counter play to %HP damage or he will forever be absolute shit. Tychus and other giant killers are so abundant that he will always and forever be a garuenteed lose in any kind of organized play.
>>
>>163454180
His block talent gains stacks for enemies hit, not enemy heroes hit.
Block grants 0.5 seconds of 50% reduced damage against AA. Block stacks don't get triggered until the previous effect expires.

There, more viable.

Unless percentage damage ignores block.
>>
>>163455057

Isn't it not the basic attack, but essentially extra "spell" damage?

Regardless, he probably just needs to passively take less damage from max or %-based abilities. 15-30% less, or something. Too many heroes counter him too easily.

%HP damage is not considered physical or ability damage, it's HP removal. Penetrates spell block and block. It adds onto the end of your AA or ability, not added to the front as a multiplier.

Am i wasting my time hoping for an In development video today?

They're usually just after a hero reveal right?
>>
>>163461249
They stopped doing that since forever.

Probably Friday or monday.

Hero spotlight will probably be next week too.

>>163462927

It's a goofy smash bros game where they can add whatever they want. ETC has been an inside joke at Blizzard for like 20 years, it was bound to happen. Just be glad he launched with the game and wasn't a hero that was added a year later.

Imagine getting the Cairne+Baine combo.
The passive is "Succession" and when Cairne dies Baine instantly spawns. He's a slow, hard-hitting Warrior as Cairne and a faster, more nimble Bruiser as Baine.

Or hell, just WC3 Tauren Chieftain.
>Q: Shockwave - A long, narrow cone AoE that damages and slows
>W: War Stomp - A Moderately long close-range AoE stun with a brief wind-up
>E: Endurance - Activate to reduce damage taken for a short time
>Ult 1: Reincarnation - A moment after dying, resurrect with half hp and full mana
>Ult 2: Pulverize - For a time, increase your attack damage by 25% and make your attacks AoE

Endurance would become WC3's Endurance Aura through talents, granting movespeed and attack speed in an AoE on activate. And probably give it a level 1 quest that adds hp regen to it for gathering health globes.

Talented Reincarnate would boost you to full hp on revive and maybe knock any enemies away and slow them, to prevent enemies from camping you when you died with it off CD. (Maybe Reincarnation should be an activatable ability you can use any time you're dead to revive?)

Pulverize could be talented to ministun.

His engage/disengage/peel would be Shockwave to slow enemies and War Stomp to CC them. Talented Endurance Aura would let him and his team dash in and out of fights when it's up.

Now that you mention it I actually haven't seen another Samuro in forever. I'm trying to the master skin so I can style on people with the double banner.

But yeah Samuro really shouldn't be dueling Varian, parry fucks you up. Anyone with a self cast AOE ability can be pretty bad to, until you get Mirage at 4 anyways.

I noticed the AI can play as Cho or as Gall in the try mode, but I'm guessing that Blizzard being Blizzard means you can't actually use that AI in single player versus AI games or anything like that, right?
>>
>>163465227

Nope. Also can't solo queue for Quick Match or Vs. AI as one of the two heads to be matched with another.

They've got a Try Mode AI, and I think one for Custom Games, too. Not sure.
