Did they seriously just fucking slightly buff Zul'jin's W build, while nerfing the only consistently viable build he has?

Are you fucking kidding me? What the fuck is wrong with these people? Seriously, who the fuck can look at this and tell me they know how to do their job? The one and only fucking build he has going for him, BECAUSE HE'S A RANGED AUTO ATTACKER, THAT DOESN'T HAVE MOBILITY OR AN IN-COMBAT SELF-HEAL, AND IS COUNTERED BY STUNS AND BLINDS WHICH ARE ALREADY ALL OVER THIS GAME.

Holy mother of my fuck.
>>
>>166764074

Check tier list in OP. Basically everything is okay with few exceptions, balance changes weekly. Uther is in a bad spot, Arthas has a new niche countering basic attack heroes and dive comps (like alwaye) but he's better at it now.

Arthas is still solid.
Uther is universally considered shit outside of DShield comps and even then he's shit.
>>
>>166764187

AP is viable and much safer. AA build was not nerfed by much, but it had a 92%+ pickrate, so the nerf was nessicary as well as the buff to AP build.

The following weeks will show his winrate and versitility in many comps will raise.

Yeah, at least at low MMR. Just build W and E then murder structures all game. Take Demonic Invasion and try to keep an eye on the map to know when you're safe to take stuff.

Also; E talent at level 1 lets you laser turrets then move out of their range of fire. Forts/keeps, too. Sort of like Hammer.

We'll need an Outlaw rep at some point, hoping that's him. Makes more sense for him than Valeera's kit anyhow.

I don't really disagree with changing him. He was unkillable and super niche enabling the adc flavor of the month, but op in that niche.

What they actually changed him into was a travesty tho. He needs to be a hybrid like iron fist monk or Zarya, not awful at everything except that he's got a op ult thrown on.

He's actually much better than ever before. Improved Follow Misha and Easy Prey at level 1 makes him a fucking god. Learn to play, scrub.

Rexxar + Zarya = New Sylv. Game's fucking easy.

That I agree with you can always take leap for engage
>>
>>166773374

I imagine ez prey at 1 is probably really good, even if it does limit him since he can't merc anymore at a reasonable speed.

Doesn't excuse shuffling controls we're used to around for no reason, even if you ignore how bugged they are.

They had no chance. Really doesn't help that Varian isn't even a real hero until 10. I hope they change that with the next multi-class hero.
>>

>>
>>166776880
Now that was a good swap

bad swap
>>
>>166775301

Even if that's accurate, which it isn't because she won't stay by your side....it's still two buttons. The ONLY reason they changed it was so you only controlled Misha with one button.

They fucked up her controls and threw everyone off since they have to get used to moving her with D instead of 1 and they didn't even accomplish the one thing they set out to do.

You CAN spam AI, but if you did co-op, it'd be better, considering it isn't 100% chance for anyone unless those who haven't done it for the day. So by playing with others, you're likely to get with someone who hasn't done it today, and for sure get one.

Game mode doesn't even matter in this game. Unless you're playing in a stack of friends, it's all the fucking same. The only thing Ranked presents you with is the Draft system, same as Unranked except you get Feel Good Points.

The game doesn't use a proper MMR matchmaking system, there are idiots at all ranks, it's a team-oriented game, and as such you usually cannot be held accountable for a loss because one single person can ruin everything with a single mistake.

Game mode does not matter, it's all the exact same, just play whatever you have most fun in, in the way you have the most fun with. Unless you want to 4-5 stack in QM, then you and your friends are just pussy ass bitches that are afraid to take it to Team League/Unranked, and the game is infinitely easier.

Just go for a mix of energy build + E combos.

Stun the fucker with W then W again, if at level 4 you pick the 2 combo points for stealth abilities then after the 2 W's you just press E and say goodbye to the enemy pleb.

At mid-late game same shit, W-W-E some autoattacks then Q-W-E. After level 20 (remember to pick the D talent to reduce CD) you just spam stealth abilities over and over each 5 seconds.

Only a good valeera player can make the difference in ranked right now.

A pro Valeera goes right into the enemy team while in stealth and then anything she picks is fucking dead if your team follows you.

You should check the Korean stats, they're using her a lot.
>>
>>166798349

I mean, yeah the team needs to follow you if they want to win because she can delete healers/dps.

The thing is on early game she can literally melt anyone that is not a heavy tank, so you play Valeera correctly in early game so you can end fast before the game goes into lvl 20+ when 1 bad teamfight means you're fucked.

For some reason I feel the same as you, she's like Kerrigan, a good one can really shit on the enemy team.

>>
>>166799232
Garrote has no use, the whole deal is keeping the enemy in the same place and that's why you start with D-W-W-E, after level 4 you will get 3 combo points after the first 2 W then do full damage with E.

The only use for Garrote is when you're in a 1 v 1 and you want a couple of seconds when the enemy can't do shit, or in a teamfight when you see someone trying to do a combo you stop them.

I have to say I'm a big sc2 co op player and I might have some bad news, I hope I'm wrong but the picture with the infested eggs might not be stukov.

I truely don't know who else it could be but those eggs are from infestors, stukov does not get these and his own infested eggs are visually different. His look like big green eggs sorta like the zerg mutations.

I hope I'm wrong though I doubt something like this could carry any weight, maybe they just liked the infestor eggs more.

In the co op he wasn't a playable unit, he had "abilitys" at the top of the screen that would direct his units towards a location automatically like a waypoint, second ability was "infest structure" which disables an enemy building and spawns broodlings from it (This is very likely to make a return as an ultimate I'd wager), an apocolysk which summoned a giant ultralisk that was half terran machinery and the alexander which was a big infested battlecruiser that took control of everything it attacked and spawned infested troopers.

In the campaign he was a unit for a single mission and his abilities were corrosive blast, which done damage and debuffed a targets armour, healing aura which is self explainitory (possibility to show up as a talent maybe?) and spawn infested which created a few infested marines.

If I was a betting man I would assuming the infest structure, corrosive blast and spawn marines will make it into his skill set, I'd bet he'll be a multiclass like varian but support/specialist and may be built around structure disabling/debuffing.

As someone who loved Artanis's gameplay since he released, it's a great change.

>>166808634

Then they would've seen that it was picked 24/7 and it would've been nerfed/removed

It's the entire point of their talent changes, they do not balance this game on numbers they balance on popularity. Look at dehaka, every talent that was a mandatory pick got nerfed.

So, I was wondering since everyone is talking about not picking certain heroes into Ranked and all that.
Is it true that everyone actually follows the meta hardcore and only pick certain heroes or is that a high ELO thing? I'm kinda worried, because, to be honest, Butcher is a really fun hero for me, and I like the challenges that are stealth bitches and such. Obviously, I'll still pick some other heroes, but Butcher is super fun for me.
I'm new, by the way. That could explain something maybe.
>>
>>166824741

Every hero in this game, even Murky and Azmodan, have team compositions in which they are good picks and enemy team comps in which they counter, but those comps do not come up hardly ever.

Butcher is not a good pick generally, and maining something in ranked is a great way to lose a lot. You need to be flexible, but when your team is on Battlefield or Braxxis, and you have Medic, and they have two mages, and you have a hard engage or control tank like Johanna or Diablo, and the stars allign, then Butcher can be a good pick.
>>
>>166824895
How do maps like braxis and battlefield help the balance matters?
>>
>>166824976

Maps where Butcher can farm up stacks safely, catch people out often, and generally have at least one or two other team mates around to help secure kills are where he does best. Battlefield is great for him because no many heroes can beat him in DPS on the Immortal, but Greymane or Valla are safer picks I think even there.

I guess Cursed Hallow is also fine for him.
>>
>>166824895
I see. That's really fucking unfortunate for me. But yeah, being flexible seems like the best thing in this game since there are maps where some heroes can abuse of things much better.
I'm glad that many heroes are actually quite likeable. I haven't played many heroes just yet, maybe, five or six heroes so far but not over the level 5.
I have been having a blast and won in the majority of the matches in QM, but it's QM and Butcher abuses the shit out of pubs.

I'm going to wait for the next free week since I have abused Zagara and Butcher quite a lot. Zagara is also one of my favorites, but I'm pretty damn sure she can't be picked as much as the average heroes because of how weak she is to divers or just assassins in general. She's still a blast to play. I love her theme and the way you can play as her.
>>
>>166825315

Learning the mechanicals are the easy part of this game, the real skill is learning how to form a decent draft in ranked that both synergizes with a bunch of randos and also semi-counters the enemy. It will come with time, but grow your hero collection and get 3 or 4 -safe- picks in Tier S or Tier 1 and learn when and how to play those heroes in and out. Then you can go into Ranked no problem. Try Unranked draft if you want a taste of how exactly a draft should be made and get a feel for that. Bans, maps, picks, all super important.

God damn, plenty to learn, man.
What are some -S and S tier picks nowadays? I checked out Grubby's tier list and it's a bit outdated due to yesterday's patch.
>>
>>166825827

I often compare this game to Smash Bros because of that. It's still a mechanical game, but knowing the guy you like and why you shouldn't play that guy is almost more important.
>>
>>166826219

Despite the patch, nothing has changed as far as the tier list.

Safe picks are the same, situational picks are still the same, middle of the pack unchanged.
>>
>>166826387
>mfw I see Zagara and Butcher both in not optimal tier
Fuck.

Alright, I might go for Dehaka, Thrall, Malfurion (already have been plenty of him), and maybe Sylvanas or Tychus.
I'm glad I haven't bought any hero just yet except Diablo, Valla and Muradin. I have 19,000 gold so far.

Thanks for the help, anon.
>>
>>166826706
>Alright, I might go for Dehaka, Thrall, Malfurion (already have been plenty of him), and maybe Sylvanas or Tychus.

Top picks right there.
Tychus is your go to hero whenever some cunt picks Azmodan, Diablo or Cho'gall.
Just make sure you pick the right ult for the map.
>>
>>166826706

Keep in mind the wording "not optimal" not "absolute shit at all times". Like said above, there care situations where they -can- do okay, but usually not optimal heroes are just in that position because other heroes do their jobs better, more safely, or bring other things to a team comp that they do not.

>>
>>166826891
>>166826996
Yeah, it'll be a large experience. I do love Tychus because of both of his ults. It'll be interesting to say the least. League is a game where you just pick what you're good at, sometimes, meta does matter since there are champions that just do better things than another champion or just have more into their kits. In Heroes, it's more of macro and what matters most in situations. It's a pretty cool theme.

And yeah, not optimal doesn't mean it's shit, but, it can take a big hit on your team's draft and you'll be put at fault if you pick something not really good into most team comps.

Also, any tips that I should know of?
I do know some of the most basic ones, such as, in Battlefield of Eternity, to never rush to the enemy's immortal unless there's one or two enemy heroes down and to always defend because defending is actually super important whenever it comes about teamfighting and forcing the enemy to just fight.
>>
>>166827303

mid to late game, if you have the advantage on cursed hallow, and the enemy is 0/3 for tributes it's usually a better call to let them grab one or two of the tributes while your team secures a boss.
>>
>>166827303
Learn maps, don't tilt, learn when to fight, to guide your team and what to do in any given situation.

Just play, all this stuff will come to you.

>Battlefield of Eternity
Split four, one solo lane. Defend first in most circumstances unless the enemy is down one or more. Never race 5v5 on immortals, always contest. First few Immortals don't push with them, push the other lane, after 18 minutes, push with it especially if it has a lot of shield.

>Towers of Doom
If the enemy is down one or more, contest the shrine closest to their base to ensure maximum fires at their core. Boss is easy to kill, does % based HP damage to all targets. Nova, Samuro, and Abathur clones can tank the boss easily. It cleaves, so face it away from people. If you/the enemy kill one fort, thee is no reason not to rotate and take the next lowest one also. Puts them in a loop of having to rotate to get the forts and allows the team a ton of space especially before shrines spawn.

>Curse Hallow
Curse usually spawns bottom first. Try to be in position to rotate to them before they spawn, not after.

>Braxis Holdout
Ultralisks drop health globes, health globes spawn outside of each lane, and one from the wave every minute. Characters that have powerful regen globe quest talents are strong on this map (Tass, Johanna, Tyrael, ETC, others). Kills zerglings and banelings first, they do the most damage to structures.

>Blackheart's Bay
Top two lanes are very, very close together. Xul, Azmodan, Murky, Zagara, Slyvannas can get a lot of EXP very fast by rotating between these lanes to kill of minions to speed up push into the forts. Boss is very weak on this map and if the gate and both towers are up in your base, you can ignore it if they don't push with it and it will die before either tower runs out of ammo. Turn in coins if you know you are safe to do so, don't hold onto them. Coins in the turn in are coins that cannot be stolen, that's how comebacks happen.

There's more but pretty general stuff.

A) Variance tends to skew heavily on games with lower amounts of data
B) Anyone who's willing to play Butcher/Gazlowe/Nova at Master's likely knows what they are doing and can supplant the weaknesses of those heroes with raw skill. That doesn't make those heroes good and it doesn't mean that someone doing really well on Nova wouldn't be doing a magnitude better on Zeratul.

Mhm, that's the thing. Most Heroes can be at least somewhat useful at all levels of play, but stuff like Abathur and Medivh are just useless.

They're somewhat reliant on teammates playing around them, which is a double-edged sword in that Medivh, Abathur and Vikings players can easily shift blame off themselves, which is annoying.

I love The Butcher, but he's viable in a different way. First picking meat man can and will get you and your team fucked after a certain MMR, at least in the majority of cases. He isn't a safe solo queue "versus all" pick.

Alright, so change everything else about him and not give him an entirely new mechanic which alters his identity almost completely. (As evident by the fact that everyone now recognizes him as Stitches, but a better version of him.)

And not entirely true, I used to take him on BoE, nobody complained., and it always went well.

>>166862416
>You realize they aren't invisible, yes
it's not fun because you can see them but can't target them. So the stealth players complain "oh woow they can see our shimmer and hit us with non targeted abilities!" so then blizz adds stupid shit like not being able to unstealth stealthers and making stealth heroes unstoppable for a few seconds on entering stealth, it's not fun it just feels cheesy

Stitches not Artanis. Artanis Stitches now. Hop on bandwagon or be a detriment to your team.

You'll be fine though, it's apparently normal for people to start playing Artanis, do the swap shit, and begin to feel like you're the best player in the fucking world. No idea what the fuck is wrong with people.

So do we really think Stukov is coming out or what? It's interesting to see the little infestor eggs in the picture, but there's too much also wrong with it.
For one, those aren't even the eggs that Stukov uses when using infested Terrans. If I remember correctly, those are the ones that the infestor unit uses, so why would Blizz go and model the wrong types of eggs for Stukov's abilities?
I really want to believe it is Stukov since he's my favorite SC character, but those eggs are pretty suspect imo.

Anyways, it just feels sort of weird only having one account in any game. Kudos that hots makes it so easy.

They made it so you can't just spam banelings at your maw anymore at people trapped inside. Now they explode against the maw meaning you can only hit them with like one baneling and roach drop.

Bounce between high Diamond and low Master and am quite shit at the game, although I don't really play these days.

Just a few examples. I'm able to dabble around with these a little more comfortably down in Plat-Dia. Might try Rexxar next.

So what's the point of Guillotine having a 30s CD if you have to be ~35% health for it to be anything meaningful, when realistically you cannot consistently hang around at such a low amount of health, and fights don't even break out every 30 seconds. Best case sceario, you use it, you get a kill, you back and heal and play with your dick for like 3 minutes until another fight happens, where you end up just using it the same way, again. That low CD is meaningless.
>>
>>166886780

Don't expect to play Zul'jin in QM and have fun.

AP build has a niche against other ranged where you need to have a poke/nuke battle. Guillotine will win that fight most of the time, except maybe against Chromie. It's a completely different way to play him, but it's completely viable. Weirdly aggressive poke mage with AA to fall back on.
>>
>>166887049
Yeah, I've been messing with it now, gotten MVP 3 times in a row, all wins, but the only thing is that I keep taking Taz, because everytime I look at Guillotine I wonder "... Why?". Been playing exactly like that, aggressive poke mage with AA, it feels great, especially considering all the anti-Zul'jin shit in QM.

But fuck me, I can never get myself to justify taking Guillotine again.
>>
>>166887318

Yeah, taking guillotine is a death wish since Valeera is in every single game without fail. It CAN still be good though.
>>
>>166888271
Taz'dingo isn't any better against competent Valeeras though.

Either wait out your meme'dingo or kill you before you use it with her huge burst and CC.

should i just go in and play all the available heroes each week to learn the game or should i play the tier list and follow any sort of guides for talents?
>>
>>166890457
What, to climb quickly? The latter.

If you'd like to be a little more well-rounded I'd go with playing everything, because you probably will eventually. Knowing Azmodan inside and out won't really provide you with massive advantages, though.

Just go learn/pick easy meta stuff like Thrall, Malfurion, Brightwing, Ragnaros, Jaina, Artanis, etc.
>>
>>166890616
>Knowing Azmodan inside and out won't really provide you with massive advantages, though.
I disagree. Pubs are pretty bad at dealing with mercs, push and siege in general. Azmo does need some buffs though.
>>
>>166891017
Yeah, I know. He sort of falls off after a certain MMR and isn't a terribly popular pick in general. He also had that mini-rework, which leads me to beleive he isn't due to get an actual one for some time, especially with Heroes like Uther, Tyrande, Murky and Stitches.

I think Azmo is fun, especially at low MMR where people don't know if you ignore him he'll just melt your lanes.
>>
>>166764187
Bone slicer build is more viable now, that permanent move speed buff is great.

Blind is still a problem though

SCfags, what's so good about Stukov? Not memeing here. I hardly recall him from SC1 and I didn't play the Zerg expansion for SC2. His potential could be great, though (summons)
>>
>>166893254
In the campaign missions where he isn't a hero unit but is present, he essentially causes an infested zombie apocalypse.

That is also his playstyle in coop mode where you can get a fuckton of free infested units every 30 seconds along with a steady stream of free units from infested bunkers, and a huge push with infested barracks.
>>
>>166893210
I've actually loved each OC they've made
>>
>>166893008
It was pretty good before just overshadowed by the AA build

>>166893435
Sounds like his spam puts the """Swarm""" Zerg to shame.

>Tyrael still can't "mount" with his wings
>>
>>166893641
The main thing is that all his units with two legs have timed life so he pushes in waves. Zagara on the other hand can just spam banelings and scourge to just wipe units from existence. Kerrigan plays more like standard Zerg. Abathur goes with an army that is incredibly difficult to kill due to his biomass mechanic and him having a global heal that regens after.

I thought that was weird too, however you can still use your abilities on mercs/minions. Which makes no sense considering that's where the real misclick issue is, not auto-attacking. So many Valeeras have accidently used an ability on a minion right next to me instead of me.

try looking for the zuljin bundle

Warcuck, diabros have no problems with Starcraft.

Stop samefagging this post every thread.

>>166895763
They usually cycle those older mounts through so you'll probably have to wait a few months.
>>
>>166895763
I waiting for it to go on sale solo so I didn't have to buy the lame ass skin I don't care for as well.

Can't fucking believe they didn't add it to the store when the bundle went away, but they added Samuro's fucking boar no problem. Hoping it comes after the Lunar event, or I'll be pissed.

The ONE mount I wanted, and it's locked behind a bundle. The fucks.

It's not so much the OC's themselves are shit. It's more of we probably won't get certain cemented characters from Starcraft now since their roles have been filled.

some stuff he can do in SC2 that could be carried over to HotS:
