that attack speed on tyrael is quite useless IMO if his base damage is so low.

Combined with the talent that increases your atack after every E for four seconds, and the talent that reduces the cooldown on E, Ive found he just wrecks any squishy hero like hanzo

Tyrael looks quite strong to me. With the flat buffs to baseline and a talent tree rework that looks much stronger than before, this is quite a significant buff to a hero that was already seeing strong usage in pro play.

He can now be properly built as a bruiser. If you so choose, his ability to facilitate dive comps has been buffed as well. Justice for All on 1, Swift Retribution on 7, Sanctification look pretty scary with a teammate like Greymane or Illidan.

I wonder what is up with this mini-resurgence of Tychus in the 1st week of HGC?

I've seen him picked quite frequently against double warrior comps, which isn't surprising.

Next hero teaser

https://twitter.com/BlizzHeroes/status/955862712059248641


Someone on twitter found a pretty convincing picture of Maiev. Guessing it's her

Don't know her lore really but odds are another mobile assassin type of hero

From the wiki:

Maiev prefers to strike vulnerable targets by surprise, often sending her forces to distract the enemy while she uses her blink ability to appear behind them. She throws a slicing torrent against lesser opponents, or uses her Fan of Knives if surrounded. If facing her quarry, she uses the umbra crescents greater shadow strike ability before moving in to attack. After one strike, she blinks away and casts hold person. If the target succumbs to the spell, she moves forward quickly to finish him off or secure the captive. If he resists hold person, Maiev activates her weapon's quickened shadow strike abilities to assail her target at range. If the enemy still stands, she uses her own lesser shadow strike ability and charges into melee, where she wields her umbra crescent with two hands. If pressed, Maiev flees via blink, greater invisibility, and expeditious retreat.[2]



Sounds like a mix between Zeratul and Xul

Trivia: She hates Tyrande, Illidan and Malfurion

Maiev's kit looks pretty cool, and that combo with D.va was awesome lol.

I wonder if a lot of her jailer talents are a response to the popularity of Genji and Hanzo.

to bad they used her wow model ? instead of the warcraft 3 model. Liked that way more. Don't think AoE works in heroes, so she will be to good or to bad.

That snare seems really strong. Can imagine quite a few lethal combos with that.
No sustain and probably poor waveclear so a bit like a Nova/Chromie in that sense, primarily aimed at killing enemy Heroes rather than doing anything on the side. Will be curious to see her on PTR.
Playing Terran is like flying down a MULE drop in a marine suit, firing a Gauss Rifle

Seems like her wave clear will at least be average considering her AoE damage focus, but we shall see.

I was bored and watching NA HGC last night, so I made a website to make random ramblings about Heroes stuff.
