Even with Deflect, he's really squishy and susceptible to CC, but most of the time he's free to dance around and do tons of damage in QM. At his current power level, I don't think he'll be a staple in competitive play while Zeratul still exists. Dragonblade probably needs a buff to make his dash in, dash out style work more effectively.
No melee assassin besides Zera will be good in competitive as long as QM exists :p

Yeah, you definitely need to wait for cc to be used before going super ham with him. And deflect can be a little inconsistent--- if you hit the button a smidge after you are cc'd obviously it won't even go off. And I swear the other day I used it, heard the sound effect for it going off, and then got discord striked to death. I need to go back and look at that replay to see if i'm crazy or if silence cancels it.

I think CC can cancel it after activation. I remember someone getting stunned after activating it in the PTR (Grubby I think?) and getting superconfused, so I'd assume silence works the same way.

now that you say that, I remember now that the tooltip says it is channeled. So I guess I should have expected any hard stuns or silences to cancel it.

Sad but true.

The quality of games has really fallen after the patch

I've felt the same way, the past few games have been some of my most frustrating and I'm logging in less frequently.

If you want tips and guides, I made a Guide collection on the HOTS reddit page, and of course the one I made here.

Yeah same with the logging in. I had the entire afternoon off and decided to clean the house instead (so I guess I should thank Blizzard in some obscure way  )

Just won 5 QMs in a row, felt pretty good, figured I'd try ranked again...
I'm first pick on my team.
Found out far too late that everyone else was going to refuse to play a healer.
Okay no healer on our team.
And someone drops the whole game.
Sigh. Why do I bother?

Heroes 2.0 doesn't feel much different from Heroes 1.whatever, but then again, I'm just a casual silver. I like that I don't have to pay one million dollars for a Jaina skin though.

I agree that Genji does not intimidate me at this point.

I recommend leveling up your least leveled characters and you'll get loot boxes almost every game. Or keep going all in with Jaina since you're guaranteed a Jaina-specific look box ever 10 lvls. And it's much faster now to get to level 10, level 20, etc.
Plus by free means you get shards with which you can probably the craft the Jaina skin you want.

I'm genuinely curious what people see in this game... I am not trying to flame, just trying to understand.
