Level 7
[Active] Boombox
Place a permanent killable ward on the ground that gives nearby allies your Crossfade and Amp It Up auras (auras do not stack). 20 second cooldown. Max 1.

You can effectively set up a healing station or a speed boost station on the opposite end of the map, or anywhere you want really, and support from two places at once. For example, set up a Boombox near bot lane on Blackheart, for whomever is down there for the chest, while you head to top chest with the rest of the team.

You are missing out on 50% bonus range for easier positioning during teamfights, or permanent 25% bonus range.
It's a valid option for maps that require more presence in multiple parts at once and tunes down the rotating the support needs to do. I like it. As long as Amped Up healing isn't toooooo severe, it's going to be ok.

i've always dreamed that i could be a black man and ditch away with whiteness so i'm really glad blizzard is adding lucio to hots. it is about time that people of color were represented in hots. i don't know why every game developer seems to avoid it. i love how ethnic and cultured lucio is compared to whitey XD. there may be a bit of racist stereotyping done by blizzard here but it really shows the best of the african american community. is lucio jamaican or brazilian? i can't wait till he is released so i can main support. he'll probably be very hard to play but very rewarding, just like in overwatch!

he looks like a fair, ~47% winrate hero. i think you might be able to go faster than mount speed just passively wallriding with speed aoe. in reality he might be a bit underpowered. consider rexxar's boars, or thrall's earthquake. an AOE slow doesn't really have much of an impact on the game, so I doubt an AOE speed boost will either.

He's going to be Tassadar. Unless his numbers are insane, he's only going to appear in dual support comps.

Meaning they lose to it. They overnerfed Greymane just like they are attempting to overnerf Samuro.
>>
>>167368923
Because all he offers is raw damage, and they nerfed his damage really hard and made both of his ults shit instead of just one of them being bad.

>>167370546
I was pretty worried, actually. Mainly because globals are really good for a huge map like Warhead. They insta-picked them and that was smart of them. Thank God I told my teammate to pick Li-Ming vs. Brightwing because Bright's heal can be pretty mediocre vs. burst.

Draft is pretty fun though. I'm already learning plenty since I'm fairly new into HotS.
>>
>>167370076
The difference is when Leoric came out he was broken as fuck, when Greymane was released he was fine.

Then Blizzard started screeching because people weren't playing him the way they wanted him to and kept changing him to the point where he wasn't good.

>Then Blizzard started screeching because people weren't playing him the way they wanted him to and kept changing him to the point where he wasn't good.

It doesn't change the fact that he was pretty harshly nerfed four times in a row, and nerfed again as part of a "graphical fix" Instead of nerfing the overpowered aspects or focusing him into a niche they just kind of started hacking at him until his win rate dropped. The last nerf he got didn't even come with a counter buff, just a promise of one later. By later I assume they mean around the release of Kel'Thuzad.

Once you know how to counter him he's useless. If you don't deal with him right he'll win the game on his own with nothing but lane pressure. The last QM I won with him 100-0'd the core with minion waves. Top and bottom lane were always on core. A competent team, or even one competent player, would have had no problem dealing with it.

There is a reason why after he came out he was always banned or first picked and y es throwing out one ability and destroying an entire minion wave at lvl 1 is fucking stupid.

Because she has far more utility to make up for the lack of damage. Having blind, a pull in, and one of the best stuns in the game, while being unstoppable made her better
>entomb
Just bolt out if you're stupid enough to not play around it
>There is a reason why after he came out he was always banned or first picked

Samuro. Style on them with the double banner. Besides that final tint goes great with the Golden Rooster.
>>
>>167377082
They haven't changed her health at all and Johanna still isn't considered as good because she's just a walking health bar. Leoric did good damage, had amazing wave clear, had a really good ult, when you did finally kill him he was up in like 20 seconds max and he didn't even rely on q to do his damage.

Like legit I hope your baiting with this and aren't this retarded.

I hope YOU aren't baiting. Back then Leoric had one of the lowest winrates in tournament while Johanna was 2nd highest tank. She's good at protecting mages (Kael was S Tier) while countering melee (Zeratul was also S Tier). Guess what? She's still really fucking great at counting a massive portion of the cast and is still picked to this day in high level play.

You are bronze.
>>
>>167378959

Lucio will be more balanced in this game than Overwatch because he can't do monkey shenanigans here like he can there.

No she wasn't and she still isn't. She's a tank you tank when the good ones are gone. She's the "Well it's between her anub and Arthas, guess we gotta take her" choice.

The only time she's picked otherwise is because she's easy as fuck to play so you can put anyone on her or if they have a lot of AA.

Yes, that and the fact that we need another support and he is a overwatch character so he is more friendly to new players( since who cares about some dark character from a retro game or one who come from a fucking comic),
being black and brazilian give him some points but if blizzard would had be actually playing risky they would have added Anna or Symmetra ( black and woman).

It's because after the 5 Warcraft assassins in a row, people want something from Blizz's other franchises, mostly Starcraft and Diablo, which have taken a huge backseat to Warcraft for a long time now. It's not so much that people are angry over it being Lucio, it's more that people are angry that we once again got shafted out of a traditional Blizz character that wasn't Warcraft. Diablo just had it's 20th anniversary not long ago, and how many actual Diablo characters do we have? We have Diablo, Tyrael, Auriel, Azmodan, and Butcher as actual characters from the series. The rest are just the nephalem from 3 and Xul from 2, which are hardly even established Diablo characters since they're just the individual players. The same goes for Starcraft. It's been around forever, yet we're stuck with filler characters for the franchise like Hammer and Morales, when I could list 20 characters off the top of my head that are more deserving to be in HotS(Warfield, Stetman, Fenix, etc).

Just. They need to rework the cooldown of laser so it has no CD if you manually stop it/retarget but a CD if you get stopped.
>>
>>167402423
Throw pit is throw pit for a reason. The average player will panic if you engage on them while they're fighting boss. They have to now dodge the boss, you, and position themselves so when the boss dies it can't be stolen.
>>
>>167402423
In our game they stole the boss from us, we started fighting, the healer failed to heal the tank (Muradin) so he had to bail for a while, then the other team showed up and killed most of us. However we did manage to kill most of them, we would have taken the boss if not for bad positioning from one of our team members.

Their support stood right on the circle while one of ours was slightly outside it, so their whole team died and got the boss. Still we won

Yeah, but after the initial forts are gone, the skeletons usually don't really make it to the keep towers, because anyone of competence is going to be on that to push that lane back.

Also, those health and mana talents don't exist because of the skeletons, they could have just been "Kill a minion get this health/mana". Not only that, they still don't fit the Necromancer, as nothing about him relies on his skeletons to give him health or mana back.

With safe and massive AoE spell, good ranged AA and ridiculous burst on dive, he was Kael, Raynor and Butcher in one hero. Why would you ever pick anything else.

No maps designed entirely around chokepoints. I think he wouldn't be a requirement to not lose hard.

>>167404591
Yet worse because you just blind or stun him so he can't do anything.

Was playing Rexxar against a Zul'jin earlier, every time he got to pop it, I just sat Misha on his ass and pressed W on CD, he never got to fucking do anything. And in those small periods of time where he could auto something, the Support would just make it all better.

Can't believe they haven't done a single fucking thing for Zul'jin's ultimates. They suck so fucking bad.
>>
>>167403491
>>167403684
Judgement isn't a terrible ult, but it's completely outclassed by Sanctification. It needs it's range nerf reverted, and maybe either a cooldown reduction or some new effect to enhance it's initiation potential. Possibly a shield/armour on impact, something that means you're not sitting in the middle of the enemy team with no support and getting bursted down.

>>167404719
Zul'jin's heroics are perfectly fine as they is, Taz'Dingo is a game winner if you know when to use it and the axe can do a massive amount of damage.

Before I try him for the first time, anything I should know about him?

I don't typically like Assassins, only Greymane, Zul'jin, Gul'dan and Ragnaros really, but lately Samuro has actually been looking pretty interesting to me. So I don't really play anything in the same vein as Samuro.
>>
>>167406287

he isn't really an assassin until level 16. your main priority is to take camps, when you cant do that you harass or soak. he is actually hard to play.
>>
>>167406287
Way of the Blade is numerically superior at level 1 and scales better aaaaaaall the way to 20. Never pick something else.

Get into a fight with E, treat W as an auto attack reset, hit Q to bodyblock and delete squishies.
Bladestorm is good to finish off enemies running away or to counter CC, but don't use it all nilly willy because it exposes the real you.

Play him safe, you have no sustain. He's very good for taking enemy camps under their noses because you can always get away for free with stealth + teleport if they happen to find you. I don't mean stealing here, I mean doing camps on their side of the map.

i think way of illusion is better
>>
>>167406287
He's like Zul'jin in that he's shit.
>>
>>167406643
Way of the Illusion actually is worse, because Samfam already has a bad early game and the quest is capped. The flat damage bonus amounts to less than the additional 25% on crit AND crits every 3rd instead of fourth strike.
>>
>>167406643
He's got two main builds. One if your going Illusion Master and one if your going Bladestorm.

The Illusion Master one has you building around your clones and the Bladestorm one doesn't.

Normal build is:
1. Way of the Blade
4. Mirage
7. Burning Blade
10. Bladestorm
13. Shukuchi (Every talent on this level is good though.)
16. Press the Attack
20. Wind Strider or Dance of Death.

If your confident in your micro management.

1. Way of Illusion
4. Mirage.
7. Burning Blade
10. Illusion Master
13. Mirrored Steel
16. Press the Attack
20. Three Blade Style

His Illusion Master build is amazing for harassing the back line because you can just send in waves of clones against your enemy while flanking them.
20.
>>
>Illusion Master
Why. It's totally useless outside of leaving an illusion behind so you can save your own ass.
>>
>>167406870
Press the Attack actually offers you more damage overall and doesn't require you to use your escape to open. Harsh Winds is good if your going Wind Strider though.
>>
>>167407012
At lvl 16 they start hitting like a truck and you have them up all the fucking time. Just send them after the back line and you get free harass on the enemy mages while staying safe or even just waiting for you moment.
>>
>>167407071
Why wouldn't you get wind strider?
>>
>>167407118
If you went Illusion Master or if you need to hide which of you is the real Samuro while Bladestorming.

Also if they have a lot of melee and are clumped together all of the time.

Still stands.

Li Li is still a very solid off-support (and dual supp comps with Lucio will probably be meta soon)
Uther is still good in Divine Shield-based comps (and also benefits from dual supp comps)
Tyrande is, as always, exceptional for combo picks and is secretly the best anti-Diablo (anti-warr in general) support.

Did I miss any "shit" supports?

The main thing is that Lucio can insta kill people, even a whole group of people by knocking them off a cliff. There's no insta kill pits in heroes of the storm.

A highly skilled Lucio could also wall-run and jump into another wall-run. That way Lucio can play a very shooty version of the ground is lava. It's not a huge deal usually. If people were forced to be melee or skill shot only that would be a huge deal.

If you had to make one big push to win a fight Lucio's ultimate could make or break those. If he knows when damage is incoming his ultimate gave everyone ludicrous shields.

I'm happy we have a new support, and a pretty neat and different one.

Easy team movement buffs in heroes of the storm, I wonder how that will work out.

>>167434656
With literally one build that even if played decently, is outclassed by similar heroes.

I wouldn't complain if there was a proper Q build, too. So he's honestly babbies first assassin.
Q build for burst and against blind comps, AA for sustained damage or some shit.

We're gonna enter a big burst meta because of Lucio.
Expect Alarak and Zeratul to be top picks.
Uther will rise with his upcoming buffs since his healing is good vs burst but bad vs sustained damage.

Supports usually drastically change the meta when they are added. Look at what happened when Auriel was added, and when Malfurion and Rehgar were changed for good or bad.

I'm excited to see what happens. I hope Tyrande and Li Li see more play in double support compositions.

I hate peopole.

I felt so bad for our Samuro. He was silent the whole game, but a decent player. He had a rough time considering they had four melee, including ETC, to go against, and did well despite it, but was hindered by his tanks being dumb and chasing the enemy ETC around.

Falstad and I were the peelers, while the tanks tried to be dps.

>>167424843
>Tyraels kit doesn't make me feel like an archangel of justice at all
I disagree. The mechanics of the kit are perfect, it's the execution that is flawed. None of his abilities feel as impactful when they hit as they actually are. When you break down each ability its all about delivering maximum JUSTICE.
>Can drop a ranged skillshot that damages enables the rest of the team to pursue and secure the kill, or use it to help someone escape.
>Teleport into a gank in progress and intervene as a big imposing wall of HP, shielding them as needed.
>Instantly counter waveclear by dropping a well timed shield.
>Can prevent all damage and CC to the entire team for three full seconds
>In the event you die you force their team to displace, giving a window for the others to escape.

Tyrael is all about interfering and making sure the best outcome happens. I think a lot of his issues are actually based in the sound design. Everything he does is low-volume and kind of shimmery. It doesn't feel like you just changed the game when you drop that 25% speedboost on top of your team. Even securing a kill with El'druin feels underwelming, seeing as the sound effect is just a guy throwing a sword. No clangs. No thunks. It's like his actions have no weight compared to everyone else.

They tinker with it every so often in how it responds to different characters, AoEs, and objectives.
It still doesn't properly recognize the importance of the nukes, and in fixing the 'bug' that the AI can always see other characters even when they're stealth or in bushes half the time it just ignores the fact someone is nearby.

Oh dear god don't get me started on fucking Illidans. They always feel so fucking entitled.

Fuck you Illidans who do this. I do n't trust random Illidans when 99 percent of you suck ASS. I only build around Illidans that have my Abathur seal of approval, and I can count them on one hand. You expect me to go hat build on cursed hollow? FUCK YOU.

>>
>>167446615
Prior to the most recent patch people were bitching about it because they noticed that the AI always knew where Valeera was even if she had been walking around in stealth for the last two minutes.

That said, the AI randomly ignoring the fact it is standing right next to an enemy player has existed on Cursed Hollow and the Altars for a few patches now, because depending on which hero the AI was controlling and which enemy hero entered its sight range it had a chance of prioritizing trying to activate the objective over fighting, just now it exists on every map and even if an objective isn't up..

>>167451097
I'm actually excited for Lucio because a support that's based entirely around movement speed who can also move through body blocks and can attack on the movie is going to be a lot of fucking fun.

I hate him in OW, but his kit feels like it will be more satisfying here.

>>167451817
I respect the idea of having a master Leoric, but his master skin is the worst in the game right now. I've hated it since he released. There's nothing skeletal or kingly about covering his head in a greathelm, and covering up all of his exposed bones except for three inches of his spine. Even the mace's iconic silhouette changes. He's unrecognizable in that skin. If anything he should have lost armor plates in the transition between skins. D1 Leoric skin never.

A lot of people don't like the Skeletal Pope, but I feel like it fits him.
That said, I'm a dirty fucker, since Leoric is the only character I have spent real money on just so I could cycle through his skins based on whatever matches best with the skins of my allies, and so I can equip the spacelord tricycle whenever I'm going sci-fi.

>>167455437
She decided to be solo top for the entire game, and I'm not complaining that she was solo soaking a lane, but the fact that she'd bait half of the team was kinda disgusting.
She also was tanking the garden boss while Anub and I were around. She got CC'd by the boss and ETC slid across the grass like a madman and had none of that shit. They wiped us. Then, afterward, she just decided to go top after respawning and straight up saw her giggling as she was suiciding vs. Garden Terror and 3 other enemy players.
Valeera was straight just going around and getting picked by the smart-ass ETC that'd dash into the shimmer and fuck her up. At one point, I saw her mega over-extending and dying to Brightwing because she was running into the turrets.

If I wasn't able to soak exp and clear waves, we'd have a 13 vs 18 level match because that's what it was, a terrifying level comparison.

Christ, is Dehaka supposed to have such shitty delays on his abilities? Everytime I try to use tongue or isolation, the enemy is fucking miles away from where I aimed and I'm not just a bruiser with nothing else
>>
>>167459927
They are skillshots, meaning if you cannot hit them then you lack skill.
>>
Alarak is a cool guy
>>
>>167460197
True, but the delay means that anytime an enemy runs away from you, the tongue misses because they are out of range, so it doesn't work for chasing. It also can't be cancelled mid animation, so once it starts and the enemy is gone you're stuck with a half second with your dick in your hands
>>
>>167461471

Dehaka is an ambush tank. Tongue is meant to grab them by surprise, usually for a bush/smoke. That's why his kit has so much bullshit bush mechanics. They work fairly well, but there is a certain skill floor you have to reach before you realize that "hey, these abilities are pretty good". It's just like Kerrigan's combo, or Chromie's long range spells. It takes prediction, reading, outplaying. Call it what you want, but Dehaka is strong as fuck. Your lack of ability with him does not make him less strong.
>>
>>167461471
Try to only use the tongue if they can't safely dodge it.
Basic fucking skillshot mechanics.

>>167463974

Character fantasy plays a big part of the way you play some heroes, not all, but many (Valeera, Nova, Raynor, Varian, Tracer come to mind).

It's a fun dynamic to play a guy and it's very close to how you remember them playing in their home game, Dehaka had covert ambush missions in Heart of the Swarm, that translated fairly well over to Heroes I think.

The Spell Armor was a great buff to him, however AAers can still focus him and kill him within like 5 seconds. I still want a health buff to him, but whatever.

With armor, each subsequent point of HP is more valuable per point of armor. He's insanely good at dealing with spell-casters, that's his niche. An HP buff would blow his out of balance once again. It's not necessary.

Is Li Ming legitimately the easiest hero in this game?

I never played her before because she pissed me off, but since I got her during the challenge I played a QM game today and topped every category.

>>167473258
I like the blue tint and I think it was part of a bundle. I also don't play much Jaina since Gul'dan released.

>>167472728
The blood elf skin is just a recolor, so she really only has the super hero one and the warden one. Tyrande definitely needs more skins
>>
>>167473413
Other people only have the skin they released with.
>>
>>167473220
Li-Ming, Ragnaros, and I guess you could say Varian, are pretty much the most straightforward and easiest heroes in the game. Although Ming's mana pool allows her to pretty much spam her shit, whereas Ragnaros at least has some CD time on HIS ranged poke, and damage Varian is susceptible to A) Cleanse, and C) Being CCd like everyone else. Out of the three, I'd say Li-Ming is probably the easiest, yeah.

In what way is she hard? She appears to be the easiest mage character by far, with super spammable abilities, a fairly straight forward escape card and zero mana issues due to her talents.

>>167474551
I haven't actually seen many opt for the AP build yet.

Because people below, like, high Diamond aren't capable of actually piloting her.

>>167472789
Don't forget that Sombra is sure to be included as well. Her silence based kit is just too unique.
>>
>>167475150
Facerolling her abilities from an absurd range seems like the easiest thing ever.

Like, maybe at some point people can properly stun me and I just get bursted down, but she's much more immortal than most squishies.

I feel like what's really holding everyone back from it is you expect Guillotine to be the ult of choice, but Guillotine is still a little lackluster, and Taz'dingo can save your life. So when Taz feels like the better ult the majority of the time, you feel cornered into being like "Well if I'm going to take Taz, why not just build for Taz?" or something.

>>167476568
If the blind had a long cooldown it would be next to worthless because it just tickles them.

I agree, but nerfing his blind would do shit. They need to nerf his shields back to what they were when they reworked him, before reddit cried about them.

Anon, stop hurting yourself,

It's better if you improve instead of demanding nerfs on the things that kill you.

I was pretty bad against stealth heroes for the longest time since my eyes aren't so good.
I learned how to adapt however, I picked heroes who had reveals and started watching myself when I was alone in a lane.

I got better, and so can you anon-kun.
>>
>>167477937
The only thing they need to change is the Double Swap. The fact they kept that in after the changes was stupid as fuck.

>>167478091
They won't change the swap and it's what you shitters are complaining about it. Blizzard really likes the swap.

And the thing about Artanis is he has a lot of really good talents. They nerf one you just take a different one.
>>
>>167477678
I'm upset about the swapping because, as I've said before, it completely changed the way he was played. I used to love Artanis.
>>
>>167478209
Yeah, his stats'll eventually be nerfed into dirt but he'll still have his playmaking swap rebbit wanted so badly.

At least he'll stop seeing play.
>>
>>167478313
Yeah he went from an immobile piece of shit, to someone who has utility. He's the same exact character only with added functionality.

Who complains about more options?
>>
>>167478425

His new "utility" made him an invaluable pick and made several heroes completely obsolete because does everything they can do but better and more reliably. Bandwagon flipper fucks will defend this.
>>
>>167478397
No he won't, because he will always have his shield talents, and Blizzard has firmly planted him into the bruiser role. Notice they only touched his more popular talents barely and even then they buffed other talents.

Like I said on each lvl besides 1 he has multiple really good talents. They change one talent you just take the other one.

I mean if you really think they nerf based on characters being played they would have drove ETC into the dirt by now but he's still in every game and will always be in every game.
>>
>>167478580
He was useless once. He'll be useless again.

>>167478425
At least it's possible to actually fail on, say, Stitches. Prism goes right through minions and spawns.
>>
>>167478527
You mean Stitches, because Stitches is the only one that does anything like he does and Stitches problems aren't because of his hook. It's because that's all he has.

You want to counter Artanis. Medivh fucks him because if he ever swaps someone just portal the fucker out and nothing happens.
>>
>>167478690
Stitches can also hook you through terrain from safety, and has further range especially at 16.

Does no one remember when Stitches was first picked every game and it was fucking retarded.

He legit hooked you from a mile away and killed you by himself. At least Artanis can be stunned or displaced out of swap.
>>
>>167478425
"More options" shouldn't mean "Okay now he's Stitches, but better.", and it's not more options, it's simply giving him a new mechanic and saying "Okay, now you revolve around this because it's so invaluable." Like, what the fuck. If I wanted to play Stitches, I'd play Stitches. I loved Artanis, the savage fucking bodyguard, not a fisherman.

It gives you more options because it makes you a stronger laner, it gives you a way to stop your q, gives you better chasing potential, gives you a sorta escape.

If you are only using it for God Swaps you are not using it right. Fuck I just stand still and swap normally in most cases cause most retards stand still thinking I'm going to do that when I don't need to.

>implying i have to be hit by it all the time to dislike it

I'm just sick of seeing it. It's powerful and cancer of the month. If it was powerful but also had a high skillcap, like if prism hit minions and summons, then I'd be more okay with it. Right now it's FREE basically unmissable displacement and it's tiring to see teammates dragged across the map because le alien fisherman spent 50 games perfecting his two button free kill combo.
>>
>>167479442
Because people don't remember when Stitches was meta and how fucking stupid he was.
>>
>>167479606

I remember it, and occationally a good Stitches gets drafted in HL and goes awesome shit, but Stitches actually punishes bad positioning whereas Artanis punishes ANY positioning, safe or not, if he can hit you with a prism that passes through terrain, minions, etc.
>>
>>167479587
That's what I said they need to nerf his shield. It's supposed to be risky, but people complained that he didn't have enough shields and blizzard quick buffed him because they want him to be meta.

They want him to be good because they like the swap and play making ability it gives him. It's supposed to be risky and in some cases it is, but in most cases you aren't worried about dying so fuck it.

Also you should be playing against like anybody who has CC and can kill you like crazy. Don't see them on the mini map or haven't seen them in a little bit, play safe because they are probably trying to kill you or someone else on your team.
>>
>>167479442
Stitches doesn't have the range or reliability to always guarantee a pick with his hook, and doesn't have much else in his kit since his W is useless unless you dedicate a lot of talents into it, his trait doesn't do enough damage to punish people attacking him when they should be fleeing, and his E while providing a good amount of healing has too much downtime to make it as reliable as shields that return every four seconds.

Artanis' swap on the other hand is usually done at team-fight range anyway to disrupt the enemy lines, in addition to the twin-blades charge allowing him to get back into position very swiftly.

But this is the curse of any hero that allows for reliably fucking enemy position, and I imagine this is the reverse of the issue we will see with Lucio, who allows you to modify your own team's position to a great degree, only second to Medivh.
>>
>>167479752
Stitches hook goes through any terrain that any Artanis's prism can. The only difference is Artanis has to throw him self into the enemy team, Stitches does.

Stitches would be seeing a lot more play if he did more damage, or offered CC, but he's just a giant meatball with a hook and that's why nobody plays him.

Artanis doesn't make Stitches obsolete, his own kit makes him obsolete.
>>
>>167479784
But like, even if Artanis good, Stitches bad, they are different characters.
>>
>>167480001
They are.
People are just upset that Stitches only redeeming quality in his otherwise shit ability set is now done better by someone who actually has a complete ability package.
