If I say the area is about as big as hitting more than one with Sven's stormhammer is that correct?

No, WW's ult literally has almost twice the AoE of Sven's storm hammer.

The difference is WW has like 800+ range on all skills where CM has a range of 500 on her W and needs to get right in the middle of things to ult effectively. I don't find WW's lack of movespeed nearly as frustrating as CM's.

The scaling on Embrace is pretty bad imo, especially early game when people have like 1000HP, -1s cd and like +40HP healed is meh.

I have played her a couple of times and this is what i think:

q is very strong. Her best skill. Very strong in the laning face and very strong in lategame teamfights you can sit behind the fight and dish out damage.

w is quite weak. it is hard to land as it doesnt damage primary target. It is useful lategame in teamfights, but not very useful for ganks early.

e is good for sustain you can heal yourself or your teammates. I think soulring as first item is core on her, because of how much healing this does. By the way the tooltip is wrong it heals alot more than the tooltip says.

r the ulti is very weak. It is probably the hardest ulti to land a good one in the game. it is much harder than enigmas back hole or axe berserkers call. because with both of them you can put them between two heroes. with this one you target on hero and it has 350 radius. which means that two heroes needs to be 175 from each other for the ulti to work.
It is just very weak as an ulti in my opinion and needs a buff. It can work sometimes but against decent players they will know to spread out and make it useless.

I think it is best to max Q and then E and take ulti whenever you can.

I think you should build a soulring first along with support items. If you have the monies I think phaseboots are good and then go for attackdamage items like a maelstrom. You have 6 sec of 1000 attack range with your q. thats great in teamfights, you can go for a glasscanon build with it.
W and R are too unreliable that I rather take the reliable damage with Q and build up good autoattacks.


You max W over Q because it simply offers more versatility than your Q. In addition, the lower cooldown and larger damage let's you achieve more overall.

More importantly (imo), E has TERRIBLE scaling compared to both Q and W, especially in the early-mid game.

I think everyone hates on W because you can't necessarily "gank" with it if the enemy is completely alone, which is contrary to some heroes who prefer when the heroes are alone (e.g Juggernaut)

CM's nova is like 1000 range effectively, it's pretty comparable to WW q actually but is burstier in nature so better at low levels.
They're hard heroes to compare, WW is probably my favorite hero right now but WW feels like a super strong late game support with poor laning presence while CM is the opposite.

Using WW's Q to escape by flying over cliffs is somehow way funnier to me than when phoenix or batrider fly over cliffs. Also stealing runes.

Yeah sure, but CM still has to get in the middle of the fight more than wyvern does because she has low range spells in addition to her 1 high range spell, whereas everything WW does is super high range (1000, 1200, 1000, 800). I do agree with your 2nd point though--I feel like WW is quite a weak/greedy laner that doesn't do much until lvl 6, but has a strong lategame presence who is especially good at anti-push and teamfight, while CM is quite strong for her whole team in the early levels but falls off because her ult is too difficult to use effectively without massive amounts of farm which she struggles to secure.

Their farming capacities are one of the other easily compared differences - WW can clear massive stacks easily but can't jungle from level 1 the way CM can.

And the range on WW spells are why her low movespeed really doesn't matter that much. That said, the main reason to level the Q/E are for lower CDs, they already do the majority of what you need from a single point. Getting 1000 range auto attacks is nice but if you hit someone one time during a gank then there's little point hitting them multiple times (due to the debuff not stacking and WW having shitty auto damage). And the physical damage block duration is the same at every level, the spell would be very good even if it had no heal component.

Someone was commenting in a game that I played her that the issue with her ult was that a lot of things won't proc (like mjolnir) on the autos. Her ults strong enough without those effects anyways though.

well, in the level 7-10 range it's easy to get for most heroes

Either way the spell's scaling isn't good enough to warrant maxing over her other spells

A lot of players avoid Chen entirely, even though he isn't actually that hard to play. People are scared of micro sometimes and just want one unit to control, which is true for most heroes.

The weirdest thing is that Visage has even less games played than Chen, even though at low levels of play I'm pretty sure you could just box the birds and be fine, Soul Assumption is so good...but people are terrified of micro

This hero feels unbalanced to me. All her abilities are strong in every stage of the game and she has good stat gain. Can flash farm with W even though she doesn't need items to be impactful. Disagree with her having weak laning too.

You know you don't always need to land multi heroes ulti. Sometimes you just need to treat it as a bkb piercing disable.
