EPTThen again that is the common argument in general with Nova. She works well from an advantage but is really hard to transfer her skillset into making a comeback.

Plus the stun limits KT's ability to zone out half the fight if you can land it before he tosses out Phoenix. Maybe this is a quick match thing as I've only tried it a few times there, but so far the results seem promising. So against a similar comp I would assume Nova blowing up KT/Jaina is better than VP. Likewise, first time I got her I played her up to lvl 7. Culminating in a Blackheart's Bay game where we got crushed but I had 20+ takedowns out of a possible 25 (rest of my team was under 15). That's when I decided that Nova is just a win-more hero, maybe on a different map all those kills could have made a difference but they just didn't. I also formed the opinion that Nova always looks AFK in games you're losing cuz she just can't do anything other than hit and run and when you're constantly losing teamfights... she can't risk revealing herself as often and her burst is heavily neutered by level disadvantages (I know everyone's burst is, but she has less sustain than other assassins so I'd argue it effects her more). Not afk, just useless. If you dont have gathering power stacks and behind on level, theres literally nothing you can do but hope for a good team fight. | ||

If you are constantly getting burned down by Nova it is because you're making yourself an prime target. | ||

Maybe we're enough into the release that a glut of people just hit Hero League? Hopefully it sorts itself out soon though. Makes sense. I guess I'll lay off HL for a while until bad players get their MMR down | ||

Zeratul at least has to make himself vulnerable for a while during his dmg burst. On June 11 2015 04:12 Tenks wrote: That is really dumb.

I always play squishy heroes (jaina, tyrande, sylvanas) so obviously im always her prime target, bad positioning or not. I don't "constrantly" get burn by Nova, but it will happen few times in a game because she can actually burst me down without me having the chance to do anything about it, even if im not in a bad position.

I have good map awareness, are you trying to say that it's impossible to get killed by Nova as a squishy target if you have good map awareness?

Nova is one of my main characters and absolutely everything you do with her involves a LOT of decision-making regarding your positional play and your map awareness. Because of the fact that so much of her damage is tied to a skill shot and that she has zero escapes, you have to play that way in order to succeed. | ||

I found your problem. When Nova kills you, you ARE in a bad position. By definition. Sometimes it can't be helped, but there's a reason Nova's only a problem at lower levels. Good enough players rarely get picked off by Nova. | ||

I never said it was a "problem", my initial point was that she is an anti-fun hero. That's just my opinion, y'all have the right to disagree. | ||
