Played two games with Abathur so far and it's a nice change of pace from the usual Zeratul. With Zeratul I feel like every single mistake you make gets easily noticed and you feel a lot of pressure as I need to carry the game. With Abathur you feel somewhat detached from what the team does, and unless you aren't present in engagements at all, your mistakes rarely gets noticed. Moreover, you do stuff all the time so you rarely have time to take parts in conversations anyway.

It's a very different experience from other heroes and more reliving. I like him so far

There definitely tends to be a direct correlation in most games between whether I'm making plays with Zeratul and whether my team is winning.

It's less clear whether that correlation is actually a causation. If your team is winning, you'll have an XP edge on the other side, making it easier for you to "make plays" with Zeratul. It also means the other team isn't as good as your team, and may simply lack the skill to properly counter Zeratul.

Well, few can.

One thing is having servers that manage millions of account, but that just !/3 of that more or elss are playing at anytime.
And another completely different thing is server that can manage 10 million people trying to log in and play all at once.

So far I haven't had a Zeratul on my team that goes for Double bombs + Wormhole. It's pretty annoying when I clone them, and see that they have picked these weird annoying talents instead.

It's kinda bizarre. I get why Sebelius was a screw-up at this. But Blizz has been running the most successful MMO of all time for a decade and they still can't manage the servers during a game launch.

Abathur doesn't gain any talents when he clones a target. He only gets the ult.

Ah ok. Makes sense now. Not sure why anyone would clone zeratul then since I feel he is such dependant on double-bombs and the wormhole combo and really doens't do anyhting else for 75% of the time you engage. Better to have a hero that can do a lot in the short amount of time.

Oh, and I played Tassadar for the first time since the patch. He's still really strong. His early game isn't as strong, but he kicks into gear at level 16. He's also much tougher to kill with the revisions to his E and D talents.

EDIT: Played some more. I guess he might feel a bit repeptive at times. His ablities (under Q-mode) are kinda boring, and it would be nice if he received a second ultimate that gave him some type of interesting AOE ability (under Q-mode) that could be targetted on the ground. But still, definitely a hero that offers a different experience. My issue with all other heroes is that they kinda just feel like a waste of time to play when I can have more fun (and win more) with Zeratul. Abathur doesn't suffer from that as he is completley uncomparable.

I guess I will but him or Jaina with my next 10k.
