Trying Thrall now but unfortunately he seems like a weaker Butcher and I have a hard time getting close to enemies since everyone plays 4-5 assassins in QP and most ones are ranged >_< I'm picking Block and Spell Shield just to survive!
If the opposing team has a heavy AA assassin then Block is the correct Lvl1 choice on Thrall. I really enjoy playing him, but it does feel like Butcher is just better overall (Butcher is kind of OP though). Thrall fits very well into PainTrain triple melee teams, and it's an absolute blast to run that setup. Generally we'll do Thrall, Mura, (Kerrigan/Butcher/Illi/Zera) plus heals and Jaina or KT. Once we even had a triplemelee doublehealer setup just for fun in HL (single digit ranks) and we actually steamrolled pretty hard. The current "KT Jaina Malf Zera autowin" meta gets completely blown out by a TSG style team, I'm loving it.

Ohboy, Murky and Abathur? Time for Abathurs that sit in the base and don't soak and Murkies that do nothing but splitpush poorly, fun times in QM ahead! Especially with no free support...

Lol murky abathur.
Some devs just want the world to burn. Tho honestly, I can imagine them basically saying "Ya know, abathur free week is gonna fuck up all our data a lot and murky free week fucks it up a little, lets just stack em and ignore that week of data."
So glad I have time this week to Zeratul around killing eggs and evo masters.

If I played QM I'd agree with you 
Although full disclosure I lost a HL (rank 10ish) game against an Abathur+Murky combo, hatted Murky is no joke.

Hatted murky is the devil, especially with bubble build, you can't kill the murky and it the symbiote can fire while he is invulnerable.
|
Murky + Abathur is really sick combo. I've played that with a friend few times. Firstly it helps in the early game(where Murky has the most problems) and it becomes quite difficult to lane against you unless opponents have some idiotic burst, and secondly if you are ignored in teamfights you are going to wreck havoc.

The ultimate anti murky hero is also in the free rotation though. Nothing new that the free hero have really strong combinations and their counters in it. If you play Raynor chase murky and make him cry, trying to clear waves.

I was wondering why raynors have been breaking out of team fights to attack me relentlessly, chasing me to the ends of the earth.

Abathur's who don't soak make me sad. Played last night as Nova with one of those, plus an Illidan who yolo-ed from gank-attempt to gank-attemp early game and well... we were many levels down before 10 hit.

I mean, octograb withotuh cleanse will be just stupid.
I better play murky this weak if I want to be able to play at all.
|
The plot thickens!
(For those that don't want to compare, Latin America account tweeted the rotation with Brightwing instead of Murky)
|
where do the early rotation figures come from? datamining?

Well those are just stupid. Chasing with Raynor lol.

Looks like the changed it hours later. On page two you can still see the original(thats where I got it from)
|
Damn, I wanted to play murky
|
Thats a shame, but I guess they forgot that they need a support in the free rotation.
|
Wow, I really didn't expect to find abathur so...dull to play?
|
Just got done playing for a bit, and wow the Abathurs I played with were painfully bad. So I switch to Abathur to not have to play with them, and my first game is against a Zeratul AND a Nova haha.
I don't know if it's allowed to post a stream link in here - I couldn't find any rules not to - but I found a dude, twitch.tv/abathur1613, who plays all Abathur all the time, I learned pretty much everything I know from him. So if you're struggling with Abathur free week, go check him out.

Just played a game with me as Aba and a pretty good murky... the ownage was real: they didn't kill a single fort from us and we were alway 3-4 levels ahead with a 31:7 kill count
With the Hat Murky can so be much more annoying than he already is and you just can't kill him ^^
