Oh ya, the Hunt. I guess that does get picked in QM huh? Swap out Ilidan for Jaina then. Anyways, it can happen (and not just rarely). Of course, every non-Arthas warrior can interrupt Nazeebo. So if you do end up on a team that can't... chances are the match-maker screwed you guys over in more ways than one. | ||

Honestly, I rarely see meta, and in any non-5 stack, I'd probably take The Hunt since people tend to be out of position quite often, and picking them off is very useful. | ||

If you aren't a five stack your opponents probably aren't a five stack and you can land 3+ man metas all game and laugh your way to victory. | ||

Whenever confronted with "What about building like this on this map with this comp?" Nooooo that would never work. EU is such a more enjoyable scene to watch than NA. They seem to have a deeper competency with heroes and they have a more open mind when it comes to trying out certain heroes and builds. NA may have Tempo but I'd love to see an EU vs NA. Because I suspect EU would absolutely wreck. As much as it pains me to admit it, I think you are right. | ||

Meh, most of the time he has to meta to get away or does it and dies immediately. Can say the same for The Hunt, but usually it's on a squishy that ends up dying too. In pubs, The Hunt is just better IMO. | ||

I'd say that is because most illidans are terrible rather than meta being a bad skill. You have to know when to go in with illidan. If you're going in and getting instagibbed then you didn't engage at a good timing with hunt or meta unless your sole purpose in the game is to trade 1:1 and then your team can cleanup. | ||

Again, it's pubs, they're not good. Even if they were good, The Hunt is just better when facing bad carries. | ||

Illidan is a hero that wants to be on the back of your opponent, the difference is that in pubs you won't get the support when you do to be able to trade 1:1 and still be fine, hence why on the hunt is useless, and a tanky metamorphosis first aid + shield will let you get away with that much better. But i do not know, even on QM i see a lot of teamfights, and not so much people going lone completely crazy. Well sometimes they do, but those are the times you are very likely to lose because your teammates are doing crazy stuff on then hunt or not. | ||

Getting vision in the first place of someone by themselves that is separated so he can be picked off easily is hard already and if you constantly get that, for example a scrub is clearing lanes by themselves far from the pack lategame, you'll probably win using metamorphosis too. Illidan's build is pretty much set in stone, first aid and metamorphosis just combines too well to go anything else. Giant killer vs sixth sense, blood for blood vs stoneskin and demonic form vs nexus blades vs bolt of the storm are the only real choices for him which depend a bit on the enemy composition. Nexus blades is not all that exciting on him I think but could be useful but the metamorphosis upgrade is close usually. 20% faster attack and slowing effect or 10% faster attack, 50% reduction of disabling effects and permanent metamorphosis. I typically prefer the latter as getting disabled sucks quite a bit as illidan but if you don't need it a bit faster attack is nice to have as option. The slowing effect tends to be pretty redundant with illidan's chasing power already but it is nice. Illidan is in a fine spot now, because thrall was nerfed to useless and kerrigan fell off a bit he get's picked more now. Especially as uther and tassadar are more popular to take which support him really well and the overall stun combo's have decreased. Before he could often just be erased quickly by double polymorph, kerrigan combo's, double muradin stuns but those don't happen untill level 20 now when he get's CC reduction if he needs. I expect him to see quite a bit of play this patch. The less burst there is in the metagame the better he becomes and many things just play into that (gathering power nerf for example is another one that benefits him). Sonya might rise for the same reason along with the tiny buff she got. | ||

Army of the dead is useless now but sendrigosa while buffed still feels crap for the standard gameplay of focussing on teamfights. I think he can still be used well but you really need the team to use sendrigosa and push more. If you just start teampushing forts after level 10 it's quite a nice ability but in teamfights it stinks. Slow to cast, misses often and deals so little damage. Stitches is still best though I prefer putrid bile on him usually now. The second spot really depends on your composition now I think. ETC is quite nice as he wasn't nerfed at all and already started creeping up, also autoattack boosts have gotten better I think with autoattack heroes and builds being slightly better. Also helps for ETC that tychus and brightwing are not neccesarily in every game anymore, if you're just up agianst uther for example his ultimate rocks. Basically most warriors are pretty close now and it depends a lot on your composition how it should be, I think you just want to wait in the draft now and see what you need. | ||
