I agree with most of it (even though I also agree with some adjustments here and there) It was a fun read! | ||

I think I need to get one of Uther/Brightwing (maybe both because they're so good) to have a grade A healer. Beyond them, however, I'm not sure whom I really need. Thoughts? Thrall is a possibility if he is as strong as he seems to be. I could use another ace front line fighter. I'd say 1 healer like brightwing/uther and another specialist, maybe nazeebo? Also tychus, because everyone loves tychus. | ||

Of note they specifically call out: Falstad, Abathur and Lili as getting big changes. Curious to see how they'll change. I'm sure the other heroes are going to get a whole list of turning changes though (*cough* Tychus *cough*, and *fingers crossed* Jaina) | ||

I've only got maybe 10 Nazeebo games under my belt but I'm still a bit wishy-washy on him. On one hand if your team is winning he starts to feel like a God if given max GP stacks and a few levels ahead of the other team. But if you're behind it feels like he starts to hit like a wet noodle. He puts out crazy amounts of hero damage but none of it is focused. You poison a bunch of heroes to farm damage but it is really hard to single anyone out. I'm actually questioning how much I like GP in general. I guess snowball mechanics are decent in this game but GP is very, very strong. | ||

Good catch. Yeah he did seem to have a different skin when he was doing the melee. So maybe no he has a metamorphosis like ult. | ||

Maybe the additional ulti is him transforming, so you can dig and join the fray? Sounds OK, but his current ulti is so good, i cant see this replacing his first ulti.

I like tanks, bruisers, and burst heroes. I haven't even played Valla and Raynor (both are sitting at level 1). Given how popular the ranged assassin role is in HotS, I figure that I can convince others to take care of it for me. | ||

Specialist shouldn't even be a separate role in this game. Almost all the specialists are damage characters besides a select few that actually play differently like Murky or Abathur. Sgt Hammer, Nazeebo, and Zagara are just assassins disguised as specialists. I'm more interested in what sort of standard lineup people in ranked are going to go with. Having a warrior, assassin, and support seems like an obvious starting point, but after that I'm curious if people will opt for double tank or double heals or if they'll go full matchmaking and just pick the five squish special. | ||

Who's really going to say no to some combination of Uther/Brightwing/Tassadar? Going by dota anyone who ends up playing them. Personally I think Uther is a lot of fun, but I wouldn't pick him in a rank 50 game where my allies are going to be stupid since he does no damage. Tassadar doesn't count as a support either. He might have map hack, but his shield doesn't provide nearly the same healing as any of the other supports. He's more of a hybrid like Abathur. | ||
