Heroes of the Storm

[Gulkeeva]

QM this week is gonna be some shit. Already lost track of the amount of games where I've been against ETC, Diablo (both free) and Johanna. Nobody dies or gets to have fun! Johanna seems really fun, gonna wait for her to drop to 10k gold before I pick her up though. I think her indestructible trait at 20 needs to be toned down a little but aside from that she actually seems... reasonably balanced for not having any adjustments yet. Maybe her unstoppable trait is a little too much too. Feels a shit ton tankier than every other Warrior but she doesn't feel like a threat at all aside from her dunk ult so I'm pretty okay with it.

Think the main thing is... she's really hard to kill at Lv20 with indestructible, and she has all kinda interrupts out the ass. Lv10 ability interrupts, that pull in interrupts and that 4 seconds of unstoppable is kinda OP, I plowed right through ETC's dance and used my draw in canceling his dance. Also its nice to negate kaels tornado stun, and the Lv16? talent that makes you go faster when hit with Iron armor... thing D key is nice, it removes slows on you so you can run like hell when your Lv20 talent pops haha

I thought I was having fun with ETC but Diablo has been the best experience so far. Bashing and tossing people never gets old.

Yeah diablo is fun, especially when they reset the mmr so your playing with random newbies at the start of a fight...body slam and push them into the towers is a fun way to kill people >.>

[Kiarax]

Nothing tops Gorging people as Stitches and just dumping them inside your base when they don't have any means to get back out.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Worst part of playing support (Tassadar) is people bitching at you for not "being there" when it was a 5v1-2 and you were right next to it. I don't feel like feeding them more kills than you already are, thanks.

Illidans and Novas who over-commit and then bitch about dying are just silly.

Also uh... what the hell am I supposed to do about Zeratul? Dead in like a second.

[synistar]

Tassadar is one of the harder supports to play since he doesn't exactly heal, but at the same time overheals. Good for the double support lineup though.

And like I said one match last night, though it was in DotA, "I can't support bad decisions."

And vs zeratul, good ones that know how to poke are difficult to play against, even with the Tassadar counter (Hurray Oracle.) Lineups that have stuns can lock him down before he can blink away since he is so fragile. Get's a bit harder if he gets the Wormhole talent. Not surprisingly, Malfurion is my highest winrate support (and I don't have brightwing, despite him being one of the better supports. I don't like his kit is all, not my style.) 95% of the time I get Elune's Grace @ 7 (range increase on basic abilities) and use roots to cut escape routes. So many times you're able to cut down on zeratul with blink down or other escaping heroes like Kael and Jania who lack consistent escape abilities early on.

[Gulkeeva]

Best way to deal with zera I found... is to basically just stare at your screen for him and hit him before he hits you (pretty much the same with nova!) >.>

If they get close enough to do their combo, you may die from it, but its the other way around if you see them first.

[Seravi Edalborez]

I should say, I had Zera problems when I was playing Falstad. After a few times I started to notice the cloak ripple (also with Nova) but I couldn't really do much about it. One poke at a time since I can't really engage or I die.

Almost done taking all the free heroes this week to 5, just need to finish another game with Falstad and try Tychus. Heroes I've liked so far: Malfurion, Tyrande, ETC, Diablo, Azmodan.

Have to consider your lane as well, if you are alone in the lane you are a bigger target than if duo-lane (do this if its becoming a problem based on team comp). If you can see the shimmer and anticipate he'll come to you especially after he was in a nearby lane, you can fire at him from a distance and get some shots in then back off if you don't want to trade hits. He will probably be less likely to appear again unless he wants to get smacked more (and reduce his usefulness to the team).

yup, must stealth won't mess with you in a lane if you can constantly pick them out, especially if your hitting them every time they try to get close! I also try to avoid people with clairvoyance n stuff (although it was MUCH worse before one the recent patches, where you couldn't even tell they saw you if you've never used the skill before) >.>

If ya got a zera + someone with clairvoyance and a team of aoe'ers, your... pretty fucked (I've fought some premade built to focus wrecking nova... much sadness)

[Seravi Edalborez]

Kind of sucks that I can't play Diablo effectively in quick match because he's so reliant on my teammates having damage and/or competence. Whereas I can just play Azmodan and at least be wrecking a lot of shit all game.

[Meian]

Gotta queue with folks for some heroes, you can add me if you'd like: Torenia#1941

[Zalrik21]

How good is Jaina compared to Nova and Valla? I know Nova is the spike single target damage type but not sure how Jaina stacks up against other ranged assassins.

[Dakk-Siren]

Kael, Jaina, and Valla are the 3 best ranged assassins with sylvanis being also in that group but she is classified as a specialist but does about the same damage as the rest.

[chazzyphizzle]

jaina does great damage but if you dont position perfectly with her you will get shit on

[Salodin]

Sorry bout last night guys, power flickered and I tried coming back on but internet wasn't cooperating. Next time, ggs though.

Was wondering! The guy dragging you around was suiciding with you haha

Randomly wondering if I should save up currency for the next hero... the brand thing looks OP and so is the tether post... (Supposedly will be out on the 30th if "everything goes ok")



However FFXIV 3.0 comes up, so I probably won't be making much gold... O_o

[Indalecia]

Soooo, decided to try it out. Enjoying it more than I expected. If anyone wants to party up, Indalecia #1592. Hit me up.

[Salodin]

Oh man, that butcher looks like a great damage dealer/zoner. That anchor and chain ability if probably an ult, I hope the recast isn't 100sec.

rofl, just played a match as illidan, quick match. final score for the teams, 33-4. WAT
