Right now you Z in and Gust and the fight is generally won or lost at that moment. It is a very strong ability. It really fills in her glaring weakness of lacking burst heal. If this is really their reasoning, then I would hope they talk to the WoW guys first to see how well sub-specializing roles worked for them (ie back in the day when Pallies and Disc Priests were only tank-healers, and if you only had Resto Druids you couldn't keep a tank alive). | ||

These "different" specialists like Abathur, Murky and Vikings are quite rare. | ||

I got Ab to level 10 a few days after buying him. Unfortunate I can't often make him work in ranked. | ||

Yeah I find him particularly amusing to play as/ with in QM if you get a decent team, since some opponents still don't even recognize just how much he can buff a hero. They dive in and get wrecked lol. | ||

They dive in and get wrecked lol. My team runs a Thrillidan setup that looks like this: Illidan Abathur Rehgar ETC Jaina/Malf/Thrall The premise of the comp is to turn Illidan into a raidboss and to completely steamroll every single teamfight with Lightning Shield + Hat + ETC buff. The massive buffs to his attack speed and basic attack power synergize perfectly with his auto attack build + demon form ult. When we engage in a teamfight, it's simply "buff Illidan, win game" while he twoshots each member of the opposing team. It's freaking *amazing* to watch whole teams get melted by one MegaIllidan during MoshPit + Ring of Frost. | ||

After 10, the opposing team has a very hard time contending objectives on any map that forces teamfighting. The comp is weak to Sylvanas/Azmodan split pushing though - good teams will avoid teamfights if they can. | ||

Man I didn't used to think there was a big difference between HL and QM, but boy did I feel it yesterday. From people throwing the games because someone was mean to them, to multiple rDPS doing less damage than Tyrael (who wasn't even played that well), it was just a disaster on multiple levels. Then when I didn't want to lose I decided to pick an assassin I'm really comfortable with (because I feel dps is easier to carry with than warrior) and I queue straight into Zeratul / Nova / Illidan (who takes Hunt) as Valla. Makes me have second thoughts about trying out KT this week lol. Edit: I should note that I only won the two games I chain d/c-ed / had connection problems in too, that's a real confidence boost in my abilities. | ||

QM is like the third circle of hell once you get to higher levels and start playing HL if you have any competitive gaming experience. QM is honestly entirely unplayable, and I only queue if I'm making a troll team with my teammates (like that Thrillidan build or Paintrain or something) or experimenting with a new hero. | ||

It's true people play poorly but unless you play warrior, if you play well you really can turn the tide up. I usually make 35 - 1 games in QM with Nova and even with feeders and disrespectful people I don't lose. A good healer can make wonders, and of course a specialist will make tons of damage no matter what. edit: Also, free Kael, that's great. :-D | ||
