8-0 on Uther now, picking him is starting to feel like borderline cheating at this point.

The reddit channel is far more populated than the TL channel. Since having multiple chat channels at once is sort of a hassle I only hang out in that one.

Now that I'm close to level 10 with him, I want to offer a few more thoughts on Zeratul.

The earlier suggestion that he should be played like LeBlanc (LoL champ for those who don't know) is pretty close to the mark. Wormhole is too good and useful to skip. Assassin's blade isn't really necessary. Yeah, you'll wish you had it against tankier targets, but Zeratul's strength is in blowing up squishies, where it isn't necessary (particularly if you have gathering power stacks and a level advantage).

I still think that regen master is the best level 1 talent to take on him. This is especially the case if you take the stealth bomb talent at level 7 (which you should). You can get away with staying in prolonged fights a lot more than you otherwise would.

Zeratul's ability to gank at level 1 and onward in the laning phase is really, really strong. As long as you're careful about blinking into tower range to get a kill (something I am guilty of sometimes), you can really help set your team ahead on the XP race. Zeratul + Abathur is a particularly nasty combo. If you gank someone with symbiote on you, your target is almost a guaranteed kill. It should also be noted that symbiote does not seem to reveal stealth.

I think I have a better idea of when to use void prison and when not to now. The problem with void prison is that you can royally screw up your team in teamfights if you're not careful. There are two circumstances when void prison is always safe to use. The first is when you're trying to secure an escape from a fight -- particularly if you're trying to get your teamfights out. The other use is to set up kills on fleeing enemy heroes. In particular, I like using void prison to give me time to refresh the cooldowns on my abilities. Keep in mind that enemy cooldown timers freeze when they're in the void prison. This 5 second advantage can be huge. Beyond these two uses, I think that you have to be very careful about when and whether you drop the void prison.

You should also note that void prison has outstanding defensive capabilities as well. Nova 3Tap on someone? VP him. A few of you won a fight but Nova is PS'ing you now? VP the area. Stitches hooked someone? VP them. Tyreal initiates on someone away from the 5? VP them. If you can anticipate a combo execution you can royally screw up the team by dropping the VP on your own team mate.

I can't quite figure out Falstad.
I seem to land decent shock and awes, but my damage numbers are terrible. Are you just supposed to all-in on damage for his talents?

On the topic of Zeratul. One thing a lot of players don't seem to take advantage of is the invulnerability to buildings. 5 seconds is a long time when wailing away at a grave golem and trading a back tower for a keep is a win in my book.

If you don't have BOOMarang and Overdrive, your damage will be shit. Lean on your E to slightly overextend to poke in laning (don't use it to engage, just use it to disjoint and escape). You only really lose to Zagara. Rewind/Giant Killer depends on enemy team comp, but Rewind gives better numbers generally. Always overdive Shock and Awe. If it's down, Overdrive/Q/W/Rewind/Q is your burst.

Most damage seems to come from W for me, Q is more for poking and catching up to people, then I auto them and stay in W range thanks to that. I don't even take BOOMarang.
Maybe I'm still dealing little damage compared to a good Falstad, though, but it didn't seem lacking to me at all.

Oh dear, total facepalm moment. I didn't even know W doubled up as an activate. I guess my damage was pretty good all things considered T.T.

Can Anub'Arak's first ult keep Zeratul/Nova visible if you can stay close enough that they'll be constantly attacked?

Sorry if this has been asked (this thread is hard to navigate), but what are the differences between Zagara's hydra and muta talents? I've been mainly double-speccing hydras as hunter killers are ridiculous burst, but someone mentioned mutas put out more damage (ran it through the test mode).
