I like that Valeera seems to be very close to the kind of gameplay rogue has in world of warcraft. That's what I was hoping for with varian (as I do like warriors in WoW too) but I ended up being quite disappointed with him. He's fine, but valeera just seems to replicate her class from WoW in a much better and authentic way.

On the upside probably every team will have a tassadar as well as Valeera so Oracles are going to make her a bit weaker right off the bat but with the stun she is going to pretty much hard counter slow squishies

Some of the bruisers really need some love, Arthas and Sonya need buffs so badly they are crap in the current meta, Arthas got the rework not too long ago which was desperately needed but he still suffers from no escapes/engage outside of a skill shot root, an unusual vulnerability to CC like Artanis except Artanis does the same job that Arthas does but WAY better, Sonya just needs a rework, shes old and outdated, both of their win rates have been in the dumpster for awhile though.


Arthas is ok as a niche pick imo, he could do with a few numbers tweaked but nothing substantial - you can still get pretty good value out of him on some maps. Sonya could do with a decent buff but she's the type of hero where a small buff can lead to her becoming extremely strong again.

Uther and Stiches really need some love.

Both Uther and Stitches are those fringe case heroes with extremes; Divine Shield resp. Hook are so insanely powerful that it holds the rest of their kit back, I'm afraid...

Main thing with Uther is his ridiculous 90 mana cost for his main heal.
I think that's the most mana expensive ability in the game and the heal isn't that high.

Granted, with mana globe talent it gets easier later on but it hurts so much in the early game.
After about 5 heals you're out of mana. He has no mana sustain as a result.

His AA is also pitiful. I wouldn't mind Uther being a good tank-healer hybrid who can frontline with more emphasis on tanking, healing and his stun than say a Rehgar doing some nibbling but he could use a generic buff.
Piano Uther still remains one my favorite supports to play, you can pull off some real saving magic with that build.

Uther will get some buffs, they already said that near the end of the previous year. Now that they introduced armor to so many characters and abilities, it would be cool for him to get some kind of devotion aura where he would give 15-25 armor to ally heroes around him, depending on the level of that talent. That could address him being tanky support as they want and help him with his weakness, which is weak AoE healing.

Not sure what Stitches needs, with tanks like Dehaka, Diablo and Artanis being top picks in the meta, he feels kind of weak. His hook is pretty much the only thing that made him special and beside that and being really strong against spell damage he doesn't bring much to the table compared to all these Warriors, while they do both of these things and a lot more.

In other mobas, hook characters often do huge damage with their hook, which is something they could consider. AlexTheProG is a fan of Arthas as a second tank. He doesn't stream a lot, but he is one of the most educational streamers, esp for warrior play.

Could be cool if they built that the same way they do his Holy Fire - every time he auto-attacks, the aura becomes stronger by five armour or something. Capped, obviously.

Maybe 2armor each AA with no cap.
So if uther hits like 12 AAs, then enemy need to retreat and reset. Could be cool imo

Yea he really does just need a few numbers tweak, I just have Arthas at 14 and Artanis/Leo/Mura all at level 10 -12 so I'm decently well versed in the role, and for Arthas you need to kind of build around his weaknesses to really shine, where as Artanis excels with pretty much any other tank helping him to soak up some damage and Leoric and Muradin just kinda do well on most team comps because they are generic damage sponges with strong escapes.

Oh lord Stitches is so bad as well, don't know how I didn't mention him in the, "bruisers needing some love" whine because he sure as hell does. I think if he was just straight up beefier or did a bit more damage he'd be good, kind of like Arthas, he does good damage and the roots can be clutch but he's very brittle and vulnerable to CC, and in the current meta, there is fucking CC for days.

With Arthas I've found he's great for a few things:

He counters AA melee assassins pretty hard with his E talent on 13, slowing down attack speed by 40%.

I go for the Death Coil talents on 4 and 7, which effectively gives you a 900+ heal on lvl 20 on a 7 second cooldown at 50 mana and it does poke damage to the enemy. Great sustain.

If you don't have to main tank and you don't have Sylvanas, Sindragosa can be amazing for pushing with objectives.
You just got a Punisher on Infernal Shrines? Throw Sindragosa on the lane it is pushing in and watch as all structures are shut down for 20 seconds. You can fight with the Punisher 5v5 and the Fort/Keep is just sitting there being useless.

He can root quite frequently (especially with the 16 talent) which can really hamper certain heroes.

Lastly, he can deal decent damage over time with Frostmourne and his E.

all Arthas can do in this meta is deal with Sonya and Illidan (to a lesser extent). He's kinda crappy at everything else IMHO.

is 1 second a long stun on this game?
i see so many complaints about 1.5 seconds and all i can sit and think is, how would anyone manage dota where some stuns are like 5 seconds.

something ive wanted to get into but not really sure if its for me

Yup, game is really fast paced and people often die in 2 seconds stun. Blizzard nerfed disabled all over the board because of the stun lock meta, Muradin had 1.5 seconds stun, now 1.25, Arthas had 1.5 seconds root, now it is 1.25, Brightwing had 1.5 seconds Polymorph, now it is 1.25 and so on... Valeera being melee assassin with huge burst potential while having 1.5 seconds stun and 2 seconds silence is quite insane and she is getting at least stun or both CCs nerfed for sure.

There are a lot of heroes that melts 3/4 of anyone's HP in 1-2 seconds, imagine what whole team can do in that time.

hahaha I knew Artanis was strong when they gave him an engage, but playing him now... He's the perfect off-tank. Stupid damage, ridiculous initiation range, silly survivability

oh and Amateur Opponent also makes him a PvE monster

Yup, I started playing with him after they put his Purifier skin on sale, and thats when I noticed how ridiculously good of an off tank he was compared to good old Arthas/Stitches/Sonya.

To the guy above, any hero can be good if played perfectly, even heroes that are considered poor in the meta can do well with a team comp built around them or with someone who is very skilled with said hero, that doesn't make the hero not weak or not in need of tweaks though. The older bruisers need love, the game is full of too many burst assassins so we need some more heroes in the game who don't just die in seconds.
