Yep, it's pretty weird playing against them. Having played with them on my team, but it's hard to keep up with XP on the laning phase with them. Outside thrall's nerf i mean. | ||

But I'll need way more time to form an actual opinion. This is more just gut reaction. | ||

Everything, especially tanks, drop sooo fast when Valla has max hatred stacks. Hammer and Raynor can now out-range a tower with auto-attacks, if that even means much at 20. I tried it three times just now. For me it felt as if I was to stagnant during the fights. I was missing Bolt of the Storm very much. I believe Valla already is pretty "edgy" in the sense, that she kills fast but also dies fast (I guess the technical term is glass canon :D) and the auto-attack build made her even edgier. This is of course only my first feel for that build after 3 games. P.S.: Dealing that much damage was fun, of course. :D | ||

I havent played them yet, but I do like they seem to be very very easy with all passives, or a bit more complex with the active abilities and other talents. It's not as punishing as Meepo so that's something that I like. | ||

So it would make some heroes more vulnerable to Stitches (Raynor / Jaina) but other not so much (Valla / Tychus.) This would make Stitches more a situational pick who can also be counter picked if he is picked too early. Heroes with dashes are already strong; they don't really need an additional perk. I'd rather not see the game turn into LoL where every hero has a mobility skill and the ones that don't are banished to the dumpster. | ||

This is of course only my first feel for that build after 3 games. P.S.: Dealing that much damage was fun, of course. :D I felt that way at first too, but at lvl 20 she gets a huge range increase which helps her be a little safe. She loses the snare from Frost Shot which can be nice to run / chase stuff down of course. But fun fact, first time I tried aa built was on Mines and I realized none of Valla's Multishot talents actually increase damage (other than arsenal), so I was just as effective at collective skulls. Sure overall damage was lower without range or battle momentum, but for AoE burst objectives it's basically the same. So speaking of Raynor, has anyone tried him out as a specialist? Raynor's recruit lets you take out 3 of the bruisers, then you have Merc Lord and Yamato baseline to Hyperion. I'm really not sure what to take for the rest of his talents though (in any build really). Plus, I'm scared that giving up Give me More and Revolution Overdrive is just going to make me tissue paper (but I guess a good specialist has to pick their spots anyways huh?). | ||

They seemed about the same other than less constant spamming (most notably getting Sundered over and over again). But then again, my normal Thrall mode is kite / run still lol. | ||

Its still a nerf on top of battle momentum, but the patch is mostly nerfs, so he is prolly fine. | ||

Nexus frenzy Some people grab the frost shot for executioner, but i rarely see that any worth. i used to open like that always, except for nexus frenzy, which is new. ive stopped doing it cause people kept telling me multishot builds are superior. there was a guy in this thread even arguing about how important it is to open with extra range instead of hatred/attspeed does nexus frenzy really change so much? also, im doing more tychus and after playing him i cant belive there are people who argued valla was the noob friendliest dps out there. u literally lock in and move around with him, you are pretty beefy for such high dps, and up until today you had extra life... | ||
