If I wasn't sure which Nova to kill before, now I am =D. | ||

So other than having someone like Zeratul or Illidan, what other heroes would be good in an Abathur comp? | ||

It feels like his autoattack build became viable again with the dmg buff, provided you have a reliable source of CC to trigger the executioner.

Ontop of his Q and his Ult. Compared to 751 Dps pre sylvanas patch. The question now is, if that is enough of a dmg Buff to let Raynors Auto attack build be viable? and dont forget that you have to sacrifice the extra heal from the lvl 1 talent, aswell as your entire Q build and Bolt on lvl 20 from my experience (rank 20 eu ...) the Auto attack build really shines if you have a comp with good crowd control (jaina mostly Jaina for the mass slows) and solid tanking while your enemies refrained from picking Hardcounters to Raynor such as Nova and Illidan. | ||

So, basically, Raynor is good if you pick all-in offensive talents with a good team comp against a bad team comp and make it to level 20? Great! | ||

I have only recently started playing Abathur so I am no expert, but his symbiotic abilities have pretty short range so any heroes that can get into the middle of the enemies and stay in the middle of them through either CC or mobility are definitely best. This can be CC/engage tanks like Arthas/ETC/Tyrael/Sonya/Anub/Muradin, or mobile assassins like Zeratul (my personal fav), Thrall, Kerrigan, or Illidan. I think Abathur really shines with the melee assassins though because he can provide them the little extra tankiness they need to stick in the fight longer with his shield and other possible healing talents, and the 25% increase AA speed is usually great on them. | ||

As a general rule, melee heroes who are good at sticking to their targets are good with Abathur. The best are the ones with high burst for obvious reasons (Zeratul), but the autoattack-dependent heroes are also good (Illidan and Thrall). The other hero that is a beast with Abathur is Chen, just because that damned panda can drink ale for days while Symbiote does work. With Symbiote, Chen can 1v2 pretty much any combination and can even 1v3 some others. | ||

Backdoor Abathur with all of the Locust talents is very very strong if the other team doesn't have globals, and it isn't really dependent on your team's comp. Having to almost 4v5 for the first 13/16 levels is kinda meh, but after that it's so hard for a pub to deal with. I'm not even sure how you deal with it if you don't have a global to kill him when he goes in. | ||

I'm not even sure how you deal with it if you don't have a global to kill him when he goes in. It is strong against bad/uncoordinated teams. The way to beat it is to force and win a teamfight and push with a boss or other map objective to victory. | ||
