Is Rehgar a solo healer? Does he need to only be picked on heavy pounce and murder comps?

Seems like he struggles to intervene except for Ancestral healing, but works well as part of a rape squad.

>>182287682
Take the HoT on Chain Heal always. Other talents you tailor to your team comp. Most versatile is the fat mobile earthbinds. Heavy poke comps you can take the LS gives absorb talent. Always get Dog regeneration and Dog lunge damage talents.

For Rehgar.
>>
>>182288664
Rehgar lacks mana efficiency. The Hot on Chain Heal increases his efficiency dramatically. No other talent on that tier even comes close.

The dog regeneration talent drastically boosts his sustainability if you actually use it (not attacking or casting? Sit dogform). Nothing else on this tier is even comparable.

The damage bonus on dog lunge talent gives Rehgar extra poke as well as being impressive team fight damage if you're repeatedly using it during engagements (you should). You can actually poke guys like Dehaka or Stitches to death or drive them off with smart use of Lunge + Earth bind + Lightning Shield if you ever find yourself facing them solo.

As I said before the other talents are tailored to your team comp but the EB talents are the most versatile.

>>182289584
Because the instant you face anyone with the ability to see the Shimmer he becomes a wasted pick.

Nevermind if you face anyone that comes with Truesight.
>>
>>182289584
Because it's HotS, where nobody can micro anything and unless you take illusion master you're pretty much useless. The same reason why people take Archon, because its just too hard for them.
>>
>>182289214
Lighting Shield giving a Shield will sometimes be better than the HoT. Healing Totem and the 90% Slow Totem are also good depending on teams so they would be better than the wolf talents in some cases.
>>
>>182289739
Don't forget most heroes with AoE, especially Arthas.

You don't WW to engage you use it to rub away and stay alive, I'll engage with WW only when the team fight is happening and people are to focused on each other

We had a zarya, tychus and nazeebo... Fair enough, anyone with a brain would say "we need a tank and a healer..." right?...

But no, not this guy, this guy goes nova, leaving me having to heal and the zarya solo warrior... But wanna hear the worst part? this guy thought, during the entire game, that he was doing fine... He kept saying "I'm killing them!!" (he wasn't, he kept trying to snipe the anub with spell shield), and he literally didn't know why he was wrong, and blamed the rest of the team.

That shit drained my soul.

Then the second one was toxic af, with a genji on the other team impossible to take down because we drafted like shit... So fuck this game...

Yeah, there seems to be a bit of confusion. Assassins are, in my opinion the best to "carry" on, but only if you're better than those you're playing with/against. Otherwise it's easier to climb just playing meta supports/tanks. Or easy damage-dealers.

be able to play at least 2-4 characters for every major role (not the blizzard defined ones, more like ranged DPS, melee DPS/bruiser, tank, support) and know the meta. Understand the maps. Communicate with your team.

Have it all come to nothing because you tanked your MMR in QM learning the game and then have to play bronze with angry autistic manbabies, mentally ill children, stoners, etc with comps that have no synergy whatsoever (hoy nova / valeera / samuro comps with no healer)

It's really a crapshoot desu. At lower ranks, you have to really choose between being optimistic that your team understands "soak to 10-12, don't teamfight if down a talent, don't teamfight if outnumbered, don't chase pointlessly" or being a pessimist and assuming they'll be retarded and just picking an AFK splitpusher and hoping for the best.

yes. He usually isn't going to keep everyone 100% topped up because he has longer cooldowns, but as long as your team doesn't chase pointless teamfights when skirmishing he's fine. He's good because he's versatile with chain heal, totem to slow/bodyblock to help gank, lightning bond to waveclear/solo mercs, cleanse, and ancestral to burst heal in teamfights.

Your heal should be off cooldown nonstop, same with lightning bond where appropriate while totem should be saved situationally. If your team is complaining that you aren't healing enough while it's off CD then they're engaging too hard for no reason.

Rag is an assassin. His entire kit aside from his trait is "Hurr durr I do damage to things, I am particularly good at killing heroes".

Tassadar isn't a specialist. He is a support. His entire kit is about enabling allies and staying in fights to make sure allies can be enabled.

Medivh is not a support. While his kit is superficially similar to tassadars, it is *much* narrower in scope and more oriented around typical specialist rule breaking/bending. Especially with the invulnerables (particularly bird invul). Most of his gameplay is on keeping vision of the enemy team, then when fights break out he splits them up with leyline and adds some damage and the ability to engage/disengage.

Tyrande is not a multiclass. Her kit is absolutely a supports, fuck look at what her talents do they are all absolutely fucking nuts, the only issues tyrande *really* runs into are that her numbers are low. If you bumped her up to a base 6.5 or 7 range she'd go from one of the worst heroes to one of the best just like that.

Samuro is not a specialist. He is an assassin, his entire kit is "I am an assassin except with the minor gimmick of being 3 card monte the hero". His playstyle is not so 'unique', strange or rulebreaking as to be a specialist.

Rehgar a multiclass? Are you fucking retarded, he *ALSO* has a total support kit, it just happens he's also decent at fighting, sometimes that fucking happens.

Chogall multiclass is just a fucking meme. God I hate you fucking retards.

Fuck you idiots who want to try and change character classes around for no real fucking reason simply because you're silver shitters.

set up pylons, spam abilities
explode warp rifts for waveclear and splitpush when it's safe

She seems like she'd be good at it, but so far in like 5 games whenever I sit behind the gates and blast minions before they reach it it seems like someone always knows exactly what spot I'm sitting in and starts nailing me, even when the enemy doesn't have any reveal. Does her siege attack reveal her or something?

Wave of Light. Easy quest, 3s of 25% DR is fuckoff huge and stacks with Ancient Kings. Silver Touch is fun for goofing around with Holy Shock builds, especially in QM where you'll probably end up being pseudo tank anyways.

Play with Holy Radiance off cooldown, but making sure to line em up to maximize people healed, keep Holy Light in reserve for saving people's asses or if you need a burst heal in a teamfight, and you won't have mana issues. You won't get bigdick healing numbers with Uther and you can't top people off because of your cooldowns, but you keep people in the fight for a freakishly long time because of the armor your trait gives them. Uther is ludicrously good at enabling your team to outsustain the other team, and GoAK makes enemy CC a liability.
>>
>>182308594
>no hard cartoon lines
>no copious amounts of piercing

A simple auto-attack range buff to Tyrande would jump her from one of the 'worst' supports to one of the best.

It wouldn't change her role at all, but it would make it so she doesn't need to burn all of her damn healing on herself. If she also had an early quest like tassadar to get +1 range for 7.5 she'd be pretty strong. Healing every 4 seconds fairly reliably for an okay amount.

Her numbers are sort of not great, still on the low end but her talents are all fucking absurd. Stun removal on Q (with a free recast of Q) on a 4s cd for 30mana.

It would help her better fit in as a 'damage-assisting support'.

do not split push. You are a sitting duck and easy to eat alive if you're alone. You are a force multiplier during objective pushes like sylvanas -- with you, punisher/immortal takes keep instead of just turrets, etc. Do not siege during teamfights, it does not give you extra damage and the splash and extra range isn't worth being a sitting duck.

You are a good pick on heavy siege maps (battlefield of eternity, infernal shrines, etc) and less so on maps where your team needs to teamfight around objectives (Cursed Hollow, Towers of Doom, etc)

Play like a better raynor, stutter stepping every shot. Stay behind your tank. Use your mines to reveal vents and cover your ass from ganks. You can Z out of siege mode without unsieging. Be paranoid of Nazeebo/Stitches type characters who can easily displace you and always know where they are on the minimap.

Napalm is a fantastic waveclear and short cooldown means you should spam it everywhere.
>>
>>182309971
It's mostly an issue of tweaking numbers right now. Going from 5.5 range to 6.5 would do a shitton to help her. Like her kit is all good, a lot of things were made baseline and such, but her numbers are too low on some shit.
>>
>people think sieging up doesnt do more damage as hammer
have people not read her trait?
>>
>>182310020
Her autos are solid, and she punishes ignoring her. Keep in mind when you ARE in siege mode hitting your z cancels immediately
>>
>>182310124
You don't need to siege for her trait to work. It gives bonus damage on any attacks over 4 range away. Hammers base range is 6.5, So basically on anything above of 60% of your base range.

Siege mode *does* give bonus damage vs minions and structures, but it doesn't do shit for heroes.
>>
>>182310124
You can still get full extra damage while unsiege

infinite energy when in range of your pylons means you spam your abilities off cooldown. You get slows and AoE damage and sorta zoning which makes you good at pushing lanes and still not worthless in teamfights.

Smart enemies will just directly target your pylons and ignore you. Probius took a pretty hard hit when they nerfed pylon durability.
>>

I'll check it out. Strife was somewhere between league and hots and I liked it because it wasn't full on retard casual mode. Too bad it was just left to die really slowly.
>>
>>182316207
Dump pylons wherever you are, use them for the rift combo to clear waves and to control enemy movement (spread out for slow, or close together for "if you come near this you take a huge chunk of damage"). Be sure to use worker rush early, before you get in trouble. Try to hide your first pylon if you can, and use your second one at places you think enemies will try to sneak up on you from.
>>
>>182317070
what's there to learn? All you gotta do is autistically farm meat stacks for 10 minutes. Your team is either going to scream at you for not helping objectives and constantly shit the bed by engaging 4v5 or understand that you're not a real hero for the first 10 minutes and play more cautiously.

After that, as long as you pick and choose your engages and wait for the other team to blow their stuns it's just a rapetrain. The hard part is having to rely on your team to not let the other team get too much of a level advantage in your absence.

Strife was really, really low quality and shitty but some of the characters were fun. Like Rook was a cool dude with the grappling hook and the shield and timing your abilities for the double shot.

Dawngate really was something else though. I'd be down for a private server but it's not going to be the same. I thought it was pretty cool that playing games would get you votes to decide how the story was going to go.

If the opponent drafts Butcher should I be picking characters that can try to gank him to make sure he can't farm meat? Because otherwise it seems like if he's smart and gets his meat you just lose every teamfight thereon out, especially after 20

Speaking of what are heroes that can gank him, I don't think Zeratul will do very well versus his stun and self heal, even without meat

if he brands, don't engage, just run away
never ever 1v1

outside of that, he's super easy to blow up, especially if you stun him. As long as your team focuses him there isn't much he can do to stay alive. The only reason he seems as scary as he does is because of retards who try to duel alone, or teams not focusing him or just being scattered as they try to run away.

like I legitimately do not understand. There are heroes that are hugely advantageous to draft for this objective (Valla, Lunara, Greymane, Artanis, maybe Tyrande, etc etc) which means you should have some idea of where you stand in the immortal race before the game even starts. And this is one of the objectives that isn't all or nothing (compared to, say, Infernal Shrines) which means you want to attack like 90% of the time anyways, just to deplete the shield to cripple the enemy immortal if you lose.

I get that there are certain times where you might want to defend (you're down and waiting for a respawn, you have a niche comp (ie you fucked up your draft) or there's enough of a balance/imbalance that you want to send 1 super high DPS to attack while 4 of you defend, (or you have enough displacement to push the enemy team into stuns, etc) but jesus christ, these people don't even understand basic map mechanics and we end up losing what should be an easy win.

Holy shit this game is such a joke. You can tell who's going to win in the selection screen every single game unless you're in 1700 MMR.

Balance isn't even laughable at this point, it's non-existent. There's no wonder why this game (WHILE IT IS FUN) will never be up there with Smite, LoL or Dota 2. Have you seen the championship viewer numbers for this game? It's laughable.

that's your tank's job. You're going to die if you dive hard or try to engage someone who's beefier than you.

If your tank isn't hard engaging and being a pain in the ass to deal with then you don't have much chance at getting near the squishies.

Jo's just a general pain in the ass, Arthas has slows, Stitches can hook. Anub can cocoon and AoE stun. Those are the ones I usually have luck with, anyhow.

Do not split push. You are not a solo laner, you have no sustain and your escape isn't good enough to let you get away from gank attempts. Play like a ranged assassin (ie like a bitch, hiding behind your tanks) except with shittier damage and a really useful passive trait.

Do not solo merc, taking no damage doesn't make it alright when you take for fucking ever to kill things. Ping for help. Your passive allows higher DPS squishy assassins clear merc camps that much faster.

your passive makes siege based objectives that much better. You play like a ranged DPS, but you aren't really a real assassin. unless you get really good at bursting 5-6 Qs, throwing out a wailing arrow, and teleporting in onto it where you have 2.5 seconds to unleash 5-6 more Qs, your W and then gtfo

Do not fucking split push.

If team is more grouped then KT shines pretty well especially if they have to stand on a single point. Li-ming just ends up getting blocked by the tank besides her lazer.
>>
>>182328507
More like where would Li-ming ever outclass KT? Her only form of Utility is the ult that you should never ever take.

KT Has a stun that can be empowered to hit multiple people, Chunk large portions of life out of people (Assuming you don't die and you DID finish Convection, right?), Garunteed damage with living bomb which also forces people to spread out. And finally Phoenix zones an area out, can't be interrupted and does more overall damage.

Why is Greymane so bad?
I heard he was considered top tier or something, and I've been playing him for the las couple of days...I lose 80% of the matches I play as him, and I die at least 7 times per match. His hero damage is mediocre and has 0 sustain, what am I doing wrong?

>>182328975
You're bad that's why. You take the Cocktail talents for poke and when someone's low enough all in with Worgen form.
>>
>>182328975
Greymane has some of the highest dps in the game m8. You're probably playing him wrong

1. Take every cocktail talent
2. Poke fools
3. Go wolf man people after they have been sufficiently poked
4. Cursed bullet unless the enemy team is like all squishies

He has 10 armor in worgen form you really shouldn't be dying so easily

Cocktail is difficult to land and doesn't do all that much damage, in what way is he better than someone like Valla?

It's literally like 700 damage on a 6 sec cooldown once you complete the quest, in an AoE

Just because you can't aim for shit doesn't mean its bad. Once you get it done you are pretty much melting the enemy for trying to lane against you. Once they are low just finish them off.

he has excellent poke/clear in cocktail, sustained and burst damage with worgen, reasonable movement with worgen dash/darkflight, a heroic that resets on kills and is great vs squishies, a heroic that eats tanks with short enough cooldown that you can use it to poke

stay human til you are reasonably certain you can secure a kill and then finish with worgen.

>>182329158
do you people even read skill descriptions or pay attention to the characters you play? It explodes in a triangle after the first target for significantly more damage. Q into E into Q is ludicrously fast waveclear and still works for teamfights as well. The fact that you can buff auto attacks in worgen means he can siege and do objective based shit like BoE as well

>>182329158
like it's literally the opposite of Li Ming or anyone where you need to land skillshots by leading because you want to hit a minion first and have the cone explode behind it. It's so easy to land it may as well not be a skillshot. The AoE and talents that increase the size of it make it super easy to multihit multiple heroes for your quest too.

she's kinda like Jo in that if you ignore her there really isn't much she can do. Boosters only hit you once and don't displace v far so you can usually just walk back to where you were, Defense Matrix is just...walk away from it and save your cooldowns so you don't give her charge, Self Destruct is good zoning but it's never going to hit anyone so it's not a threat.

If she's harassing a high value target, someone should blind, but aside from that, you only beat on her if there's nobody else, and then wait for the mech to implode. Since it's super telegraphed and pilot mode is squishy, you just have to get into position to bodyblock or CC, especially since nobody takes torpedo dash.

More like 2-3. Also it won't matter because you'll queue with the mentally ill and 90% of the time you'll have to fill as tank or support if you want to have even a chance of winning because of manbabies who refuse to give up their favorites. Have fun trying to convince your team you don't need three stealth characters, or four squishies, or that you need at least one person to tank and support. Heaven forbid you try to counterpick against the enemy team, or get a double tank or double support comp going.

Also note that there's basically a shitter meta and a higher level meta so your preparation won't necessarily come to fruition. Truth be told you're best served by learning some of the super versatile characters who can
>waveclear (so you can soak)
>solo merc
>still useful in teamfights
Often this might mean picking up characters that tierlists place lower.

Learn 2-3:
Melee DPS/bruisers
Tanks
Ranged DPS

Don't bother learning a stealthy character (zeratul is the only one worth learning and he has a high skillcap) Many (most?) specialists are niche and flex picks which means they shouldn't be picked before the other four or require a comp built around them, which again, likely means if you're fifth you're filling as healer because people suck

Why did Jim betray his best friend who did everything right over some stinky traitor zerg pussy?
>>
>>182289584
his mirrors = completed quests
hitting a lone hero with Rag for his living meteor quest nets me 3-6 hits. A Samuro casting his mirrors can net me 5-16. It's not as bad as Nova's decoy which has the health to really finish up quests fast due to it's health but it's still just giving the enemy team an edge at finishing quests.

Why did Jim save Mengsk and gave Psi Emitters to Kerrigan in brood war in first place? Wouldn't he prefer UED instead of some trator as the dominant force in the Koprulu sector?
>>
>>182336746
because Metzen wanted his daughter to have strong female protags. That's not shitposting that's the actual reason.
>>
>>182335951
>>182336270
>Probius/Sylvanas
Probius has fallen out of favour with recent nerfs, Sylvanas is still situationally good but you'll never get her because someone else will instalock her and play her incorrectly as a solo jungler who afk splitpushes

>Rag/Deebu
They don't even fulfill the same function lol. Rag is still pretty good because Lava Wave is an easy way to punish bad players and help your team and his trait is basically an extra heroic from level 1. Bursty bruiser types aren't super meta right now but he's still decent.

Diablo's a viable tank, but there are so many other impactful tanks atm you'd be better served getting something like Dehaka/Anub/Arthas. Johanna's one of those shitter meta tanks that is great at low ranks as well
>>
>>182336843
Kerrigan was claiming to be free of control and wanted to use her powers to save everyone, Jim had no reason to doubt her then considering the Overmind was dead.
The UED was basically seen as the jailers of everyone in the sector also it didn't help that they were experimenting on zerg and leaving thousands to die. He likely saw them as the same evil or worse.
>>
>>182336658
probius seems fun/effective for waveclear / solo merc
but i suck at teamfights or 1vs1 with him
i dont like any stealth character luckily
>anub'karak / illidian / diablo / butcher / jaina / ragnaros
are the only ones i've tried i'm sure i like them
>>
>>182336827
Wasn't he? And Tychus said from the beginning that his job is to kill Kerrigan but no, Raynor must cuck him over

>>182336843
Jim is a shit protagonist. I wonder why even so many people followed this retard.

>>182336879
What's the problem of making a proper strong female character instead of this shitty love story? Nova for example
>>
>>182337007
>But Mensk who used Zerg against the confederacy is so much better than UED that he has to save him, especially after he cucked his love on that planet with zerg and caused all of it

yeah no
>>
>>182336746
1) Tychus wasn't Raynor's best pal
2) He lied to him
3) He was Mengsk's little bitch
4) The literal fate of the universe was at stake (did you skip the entire campaign?)
5) Kerrigan did nothing wrong
>>
>>182337121
You do remember it was Kerrigan that ask Raynor to capture and bring Mengsk alive right? They even have a talk making it clear that once the UED is dealt with Mengsk was either going to stand trail or just be killed if he tried to run.

Again, for the narrative it made more sense for how things unfolded.
>>
>>182337121
dude it was a pick "Hitler or Stalin" type of issue also "cured" Kerrigan ask Jimmy to save/bring him to her.
>>
>>182337236
>Implying Jim knows or even cares about the fate of the universe

Zerg bitch killed billions of innocent people (yeah, civilians aswell, in campaign you will see it pretty clear) and turned them into zombies, really nothing wrong

I don't remember Tychus liking Mengst or something, I bet he had some bombs in his suit (which he wasn't be able to take off) ready just in case he wouldn't follow orders, but Jim wasn't even trying to do something about it, maybe warp him out of suit with protoss technology, how about that? Instead he only cared about some alien pussy (while he could freely get that doctor's one)
>>
>>182336746
Tychus was more like an old work partner than a friend, let alone a best friend.
>>

>Zeratul sneaks aboard the Hyperion to deliver a psychic crystal that allows Raynor to share visions involving an ominous prophecy where Zerg-Protoss hybrids and an enslaved Zerg swarm wipe out Humanity and the Protoss. The vision reveals that only Kerrigan has the power to prevent the eradication of all life in the sector and beyond.
Stop being a stupid revisionist retard, Raynor trusted Zeratul who warned him Kerrigan was the key to not everyone dying, which is kind of a big deal whether you want it or not

Tychus made a deal with Mengsk to kill Kerrigan (i.e. he was lying all along) so Raynor had no choice but to put a bullet in him

Probius isn't a 1v1 character since he's so fragile and has no escape. He mostly baits people into gangbangs by your team or blows people up because they aren't paying attention in the chaos of a teamfight

Tbh while there are definite "why play x when you can play y or z" type characters, there's nothing wrong playing whatever you like as long as you aren't completely fucking your team. Nobody is going to shit on you for playing Jaina if you like her, even if Guldan/KT are much better mages. People get tilted when you pick a Jaina when your team already has two backline squishy assassins. Sometimes it sucks that you can't play your favourite, but that's why you learn to play multiple roles, and multiple characters that fulfill those roles.
>>
>>182337034
Probius has like 2 jobs
1). Clear waves since he can oneshot waves with his Q into W
2). Protect objectives since he can set up cannon and if enemy gets baited he can activate his pylons to delete anyone who is brave enough to engage on him

If you want to 1v1 someone you have to bait him into pylons

>>
>>182337034
Oh, that said, if you want to get better it is absolutely important to play every character you can, and level them up during free weeks. Partly for the gold, but also because it gives you an understanding of how they play so you know what to expect and how to play against them.

A huge part of the game is drafting, and if you don't know how many of the characters synergize, you won't be able to draft well or counter pick against the enemy, or draft around the map/objective.

There's a reason people despise "____ mains" and one trick ponies who refuse to play anything but their waifu/husbando even if it means throwing the game

QM experience as a support is not fun because you may not even get a tank and nobody will peel for you

Tyrande is pretty toilet tier as a support. Auriel is somewhat difficult to play compared to other healers and is only as good as her battery. Lili can be played by mashing your face against the keyboard, Morales doesn't do anything EXCEPT heal, not surprised you find them boring.

I usually go with Uther or Rehgar, but BW/monk/malf are all viable. YMMV ofc, but all of the viable supports do something slightly different on top of their healing which makes them interesting to play

Tbh playing QM as anything except an and splitpushing retard or assassin is not fun. If you tank, you probably won't have any heals or support or even followup from your dps, which means you get blown up really quickly. If you play support you may not even have a tank to look after and you get focused down right away.

I'd recommend dipping your feet into unranked draft if you haven't already, just so you can get some understanding of tank/supports are actually supposed to function (caveat emptor, it's entirely possible for you to run into the same shit drafting you get in HL)
>>
>>182338940
>Muh prophecy
It wasn't even a main mission at all, this shit was optional. So my Raynor for example didn't look through that Zeratuls thingy as has no idea about the prophecy. How about that? He still betrayed Tychus for Zerg pussy tho.

>>182338245
OW characters tend to have a higher "skillcap" without much return (aside from Lucio who's fucking boring on top of being easy and ineffective anyways)

SC is...a mixed bag I guess. High skillcap (Aba, Alarak, zera), boring (morales, Raynor) the better you are the better they are (Dehaka, Artanis) etc.

Tbqh, I think a lot of heroes aren't fun til you learn how to not be bad at them, but some of them have a steeper learning curve than others

I wouldn't call Morales boring, in teamfight when everyone of your team takes damage she becomes pretty interestesting. Deciding who to heal, who to shield, when to swap heal, when to grenade and when and where to medivac is pretty interesting. Also with medivac you almost never stay out of fight, you get oom? Tell your other oom teammates to go base and come with full mana back for raping

>>
>>182340050
Fair enough. I feel the same way you do about supports in general, but I suppose it's the versatility of the other supports that I enjoy. I get what you mean though, it's always a constant "how to reposition to maximize wave of light, who needs armor, is a stun effective here, is someone going to drop their ult and need a dshield" with Uther, and the same with the others (who needs cleanse, who needs lightning bond, divine palm, ancestral healing timing, etc)

Every hero is good in their own little way. Sonya is good at 1v1s and is good at disrupting by spinning into a team anf becoming hard to kill or a target for valuable CC moves. She can also take camps by herself which is nice.

Overall she's fairly independant but keep in mind her role in a teamfight is to dive, so expect to go in too hard because of inexperience and die a lot.

Tychus had a very dynamic character arc. After learning of Valerian's plan (to turn Kerrigan human) and seeing Zeratul's prophecies (that kerrigan may save the universe from atrophy) Jim starts shifting gears. Tychus can see Jim wavering and being all wishy washy about Kerrigan. Tychus knows about Jim and Kerrigan's past. He tries to not so subtley reinforce the idea into Jim's head that killing Kerrigan would be a good thing. Jim however is still indecisive yet he starts warming up to the idea that Kerrigan can be saved. Tychus gets frustrated but holds his tongue until they eventually have a falling out about it. After Tychus loses that confrontation he pleads Jim to not go through with Valerian's plan. Tychus even drops this beautiful line, "Mengsk will get you in a way you'll never see coming."

And then the end happens. Tychus is backed into a corner. He's been hiding his agenda this entire time. But it's now or never. He can't bare to shoot his best friend in the back. The only man in the whole galaxy that gets him. And he forces Jim's hand. And Jim chose wrong.

As a side note WoL Kerrigan is GOAT for Kerrigan quotes.

Me and my group of friends play hots every evening for a few hours, and more often on the week ends. We have a discord server I can add you to where we ping each other when we want to play and could use a few more people to consistently get full groups (we often have 3 or 4, never 5). Were all around gold/plat/diamond level. As long as you're an adult who can handle banter and can buckle down and "try hard" or play serious occasionally then you'll fit right in. Add me on discord at c0re#0999 if interested

I placed plat 1 and went 7/2 with medivh, lost my one game where I didn't play him and I was thrall. The best thing you can do is play extremely selfishly, get mtouch as early as possible and play him like an assassin. Use the portal as much as possible, between your ability cds to juke and play mindgames, self sustain with reabsorbtion @ 16 by shielding turret shots and all meaningful damage whenever possible. You've really gotta think outside the box with him

Mastery taunt levels are pretty retarded. I played nova exclusively for a very long time and am lvl 31 with her which unlocks only the second tier mastery, getting to even third tier would require me to play her daly for a fucking year and that is only level 50, if i wanted level 100 that would be nova only for like 3 years daily, only like 5 of the biggest autists will have that level

GftT is pretty shit now yeah.
It gives a bit of extra burst on far too long of a CD, but in pro games they use it for finishers pretty efficiently so blizz is afraid of buffing it.

Back in the day it used to be key to murdering a whole enemy team, and it got hit hard with the nerf bat.

That's also why even people like Grubby say GftT has loads of potential, but it's easy to feel like you wasted it, which is why he takes Cursed Bullet 9 out of 10 times.

>We have been reading a lot of feedback on Tyrande and have heard overwhelming requests to give her substantial buffs. While we would love to do so, our internal data shows her rework win rate is sitting within 1% of her pre-rework values (.8% higher at high-level play and .1% lower at medium/low levels). The rework was focused on lowering the power of her healing while greatly strengthening her utility and damage output. Our data is showing that we are meeting those goals but realize that a lot of players are still attempting to solo-support with her. We are actively aware of the Support role-perception issue, especially since it transcends just Tyrande, and are exploring a lot of different options to help alleviate the frustrations.

Maybe it's time to just overhaul the classifications in to something more accurate.

Tied between Mecha Tass and Ghost Kerrigan, because Mecha Tass turns his voice into a more-memey Transformers character and Ghost Kerrigan makes her animations really shitty, kind of like Valla's cowgirl skin. If I want real mecha tass I might as well just stick him in the red-with-green-gems outfit to make him look like Raiden.

Also if you get close enough and you have level 10, you can legit just fight her inside of her explosion radius as long as you hit R about a second before it detonates. If you have all three parts of your Q quest and Applied Force (W range) she's probably guaranteed-dead because that quest is actually +360 damage to Q at 100% sadism. The 180 from the quest doesn't scale with levels but it's completely affected by sadism. I've had my Q do 1400 damage alone in game where I was snowballing.

The buffs are basically nothing, a 7% increase to attack speed and the only other noticable change was the 33% nerf to the mark healing on self. The other tiny buffs were to bad talents that will remain bad.

I should consider spending 10K g on this monjey ninja cyborg instead of waiting for Stukov. Blizz seems not to care about his 99,9% ban/pickrate on HGC at all
Removing dodge, preventing W to reflect creep attacks and making his E unpassable through terrain would be enough to fix this shit but no

Played HotS few months back where the meta was like this: First pick or ban material - Ragnaros, Lucio, Maybe Varian.

It was before the Genji and Hanamura patch.

What heroes were buffed \ nerfed to shit since then?
>>
>>182369895
Only "stop" goes through "unstoppable" funny enough, eh? Stasis is OP, verily.
>>
>>182369980
Lucio is kind of shit.
ETC was nerfed
Anub nerfed
Varian taunt buffed
Ragnaros nerfed
Malf nerfed/reworked
Tyrande reworked
Uther god status
Li Li viable tier
Tassadar rework is a mixed bag, still crazy strong
Murky temporarily became god, is viable now sometimes
Malthael, Genji, D.va have all received nerfs so the game is in a fairly good spot right now

Because 13-year-olds who main him say "oh just stun him he's super easy to counter". Other things that counter Genji: killing him and destroying the enemy core.
