I used to go Searing + Berserk but Slow + Executioner is a better and more sustainable build. Berserk's CD is just too insane for it to be reliable. Still get Searing at 7 of course.

I find Raynor to be a king of positioning. If you go with his probably most common build of Inspire slow + Executioner as long as you can stay on the outskirts of a fight you can do insane damage. Then assuming you went Raiders + +Heal on stim you become one of the best duelers in the game. But he absolutely sucks at gank and sucks when a few people get on him. He's a fun hero but somewhat falls off against a coordinated team that doesn't let you just Inspire and rape.


I'm not sure if it's talent gating, but seeing 90% of Raynors get Hyperion makes me so very sad.


Hyperion used to be good but it was nerfed too hard. I can't really think of a situation where Hyperion is a better get than Raiders.

Sometimes I wonder if he's not actually delusional and instead just plays so much that you can't help but run into really bizarre behavior. Maybe he just has really, really low MMR? Doesn't go with the elitism, but doesn't have to.


Serejai may complain a lot, but he's actually right in this case.

There are bots, I've encountered several. They tend to play Tychus or Raynor, in general. They just attack creeps, and never move when they are being attacked. Ever. They just take the hits and move out as soon as they respawn, to attack the creeps and push the lane once more. Rinse and repeat.

Actually most top Raynor players go this build: http://www.heroesfire.com/hots/talent-calculator/raynor#gWF-

Searing Attacks + W + Breserk + Giant Killer = highest single target dps in game. You melt Arthas' in like 2.2 seconds. It's batty how much damage ti does. Also makes it so once you hit 20 you are a walking god, no one can get near you without ample backup.

Also for the bots, are you sure its just not the stupid AI taking over? I mean every game has bots, but no way I believe that many where he hits them every game. I have 1k+ games and have yet to see one.

The only one I can think of is a Fort siege because it zones the opposing team and does damage to the structure or forces the entire team to fight under the damage...still not sure if it's more over the AoE than raiders is single target.

If the ability has a shorter cool down, it would be find for counter pushing. Bit as is, its does pretty lack luster damage to heroes.

I never said one every game; I said one every 4-5 games. That's one botter out of 50 players, or about 2%. Play 100 games of Hearthstone in ladder and you'll encounter at least twice that many Shaman gold farming bots.

2% isn't a bad amount for retail. I just think it's a bit many for a closed alpha test. Then again the StarCraft II beta had map hack three days after it started, and more than 20,000 people downloaded it in the first 24 hours from a single website (likely more got it from other places). I guess you could say Heroes is above average for a Blizzard game in regards to security at the moment.

Not to mention it would be hard to confuse a bot for an AI considering the player name is removed when the AI takes over...

People on these forums like the whole "if it doesn't happen to me then it doesn't exist" mentality.

I could MAYBE see Hyperion combo'd with Sindragosa. Lay both down and you can force free forts. But then if they counter engage you just die, so idk.

It's a cool ult, but right now Raynor's Raiders just sync too damn well with atuo-attack based Raynor to pass up.

No one is saying that. Just with your wide variety of complaints and how the game is unfair to you it's becoming quickly the boy who cried wolf. You should try to go a week without bitching about stuff, might do you good.

I actually think Laser Drill is viable on maps such as Cursed Hollow or Dragon Shire. Typically, maps that require you to protect and hold a certain point.

Provided you can keep the Laser Drill alive and protect it too, it deals tons and tons of damage.

Or perhaps people here should stop being so biased and constantly confusing things they don't want to hear with "bitching". We get it; you're invested in the game. That doesn't mean you have to act like there are no faults with it.

It's like almost the most awesome ult ever for tributes until people realize you can just back off until it runs out. T_T

I actually bitch a lot about this game, I've spent the past 2 weeks lamenting how dumb gold generation and talent gating is, and how bad some heroes like Lili are.

I like it on Cursed Hollow, but not really on Dragon Shire. You have to actually stand ON the point in Dragon Shire to do things, and Odin's extra life means that Tychus can duel a lot better and not just get one shot when trying to def a point.

Odin way stronger for Dragon Shire, is more effective at holding cap points, better at teamfights, better at pretty much everything. However drill would be cool on Cursed if people hadn't already figured just to fall back from it for a few moments.

I feel that Laser Drill isn't terrible in itself; it does very good damage. The problems arise once you factor in a) it is mostly useful in very specific places on 1-2 maps, b) any smart player will just run away until it times out, and c) it's single target damage in situations that will likely be a team fight.

Odin also does really good damage, but suffers from none of the weaknesses of the drill. It also comes with benefits, such as AoE damage, mobility, and extra survivability.

I mean, Drill could be better 1% of the time... but should you really choose a talent in that fashion?

Laser Drill I noticed is much stronger in low elo's where players dont understand how it works and how to manipulate it.

Also if poke comps actually worked in this game it would be nice for setting up a siege line when assaulting forts, but I have never seen a poke comp work well myself.

But I agree with Serejai that it's like a 1% talent.

There are quite a lot of talents that are only really good in low brackets. Laser Drill, Triple Tap, Robo-Goblin all come to mind.

One cool part about Drill (not saying that means take it over Odin) is that you get your host of talents while it is out. So you can use Searing Attacks, you get your frag upgrades, you get your overkill upgrades and all that. In Odin you, as far as I know, only really benefit from the passive talents.

Drill lasts 22 seconds. How are you falling back from the position while also not losing the tribute?
