They did a ton of work too with jump/z to surround then spin to win while the team focused down the trapped hero. That was satisfying, almost like playing WC3 again. On the other hand the periods where I was split soaking was miserable... if I wanted to play SC2, I would... I just want to focus on microing a single guy for all I can rather than constantly toggling hot keys. Didn't help that I had input lag changing between vikings (probably my system, but who knows). Overall, once I grouped up and had Long Boat Raid, man they were beastly. Also, Norse Force comes so late in the game that I kept forgetting to use it lol. I had fun playing them, but I think only once. Thank god I'm talent unlocked cuz I can't imagine trying them talent gated. I have this same problem! I posted twice on the Battle.net forums asking them about it, but I am either posting it wrong or they are deleting my posts because I can never find it. It's frustrating. | ||

I've had cases where we had a Malfurion all game long that healed for like 6k total when the game ended. Only healed himself even when Diablo was dying next to him. They also have a tendency (especially Tyrande) to overestimate their position and get killed. Supports need to stay back or they'll get focused and die. Many of them that aren't Tassadar can be ganked quite easily if the enemy team knows what they're doing. Tyrande, Malfurion and Uther can all die to a gank without much chance for survival. And it stings when your team overall is doing well, but you're stuck with a Tyrande that isn't healing anything and has more deaths than kills to her name. | ||

I had a game last night where our Sylvanas was bragging about her hero damage (40k!) while glossing over that she by far the most deaths (11 out of 27, next up was a Nova that quietly died 8 times by over-relying on cloak). She didn't even finish with top takedowns cuz she was always dead! | ||

So back on topic, now that we have easy to mess up heroes on rotation this week any of you guys going to mess around with random builds? I'm planning to try an AA / Lifesteal Illidan build, will probably fail horribly but could scale well on the right map. | ||

Doubt I'll take Focused Attack over Envenom, since the total damage will simply be lower. So that means: Marksman on 1 Envenom on 4 Searing on 7 Maelstrom on 10 (Ultra is meh) Double Strike on 13 I guess...I don't really get this talent. Kerrigan blows all her abilities at once except Ravage so you only get one Basic Attack that gets amplified for 50% dmg. Assuming say 40 marksman stacks and Nexus Blades, she does around 360 damage per hit. Double Strike would only add about 180+ to that. Not a lot. And I have to give up Sprint for it. Blood for Blood on 16, although with an AA build the double shielding would be decent, but Blood for Blood is just to good. Nexus Blades on 20 Does mean no Blink and no Adaptation though. Not much else to really go for on Kerrigan besides the standard build. I might stick with Tyrande if I want an AA build now that I think of it. Hers is just nasty with the Hunter's Mark attack speed talent + Searing Arrows + Nexus Frenzy. And you can still provide a bit of healing and a stun. As for other builds, I've been wondering if a Rewind build on Anub'Arak could work instead of beetle build and fully focusing on his main talents instead. So that means the Impale talents, Underking, Epicenter and stuff like that. I wonder if double Epicenter could cause some damage compared to the beetles. Might still go Regen master though, since I don't really see what is good about having 25% more length on Impale. You're rarely going to kill someone with it, and if you nab someone at the very end of that additional 25%, they'll still get away due to the distance. The length isn't really an issue for me. | ||

Because of her dagger, she shits out a ton of largely meaningless damage. When you really get down to it, however, she just doesn't hit that hard (not that she should). Compare her damage output to someone like Zeratul. He'll typically have half the hero damage that she does, but his translates far more efficiently into kills than hers. | ||

The only ones that really matter are takedowns and deaths. If you're running a high T/D ratio, you're almost certainly playing well. | ||

Yes and sometimes the ratio isn't quite as important as winning the game. If you're the hard initiate chances are you will probably die most team fights assuming the other team is well coordinated. But as long as you set up the fight to lead your team into an advantageous spot your life was well spent. Usually a few signs of incompetence is low kills compared to the entire team (not participating in fights) or an abnormally high ratio (but that could also be because your team is simply losing.) I can't count the number of Zags who are AFK split pushing the entire game just sicking hydras on heroes that come near and then go "Not my fault! Look at my hero damage!" to justify having to 4v5 all game. | ||
