Khorne posted:Braxis doesn't seem that bad either if I'm being honest, although the rotations through mid are unbelievably awkward. Yeah the pathing is really bad and the minimap is a bit deceptive. It kinda speaks to the lazy way they haven't done much to improve AI or scripting for movement since release and it really shows on some of the different maps or characters like Dehaka and Lucio.

So there was a discussion a few days ago about whether HotS has a "carry" character and I think the closest you're going to get to that now is the new Alarak who can be absolutely nuts in skilled hands. You have several iterative quest talents that can be instantly completed in full with a single skillful play, you have multiple avenues to accumulate Sadism stacks, some of which are effectively uncapped, all of which means that if you're good about not dying you can do crazy poo poo like the game I watched where the guy had 220% Sadism by the end of the game and was essentially able to walk up to someone and if not kill them outright he could chunk them to the point a stiff breeze would kill them. I still don't think you can 1v5 the enemy team with a stacked up Alarak but he now seems to be positioned as the game's "high skill, high reward" character.

SKULL.GIF posted:The top 7 for the Reddit one honestly is spot on: Battlefield of Eternity, Cursed Hollow, Dragon Shire, Infernal Shrines, Sky Temple, Tomb of the Spider Queen, Towers of Doom. All are three-lane maps (except Battlefield) with a ton of skirmishing over the objective, and the objective is binary. Warhead Junction is the best map in the game.  SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:Tychus strategy against trace is "eat poo poo" While it's true Tychus is a tank shredder, he also melts down squishes. Harass with frag grenade and use minigun boosted attacks to damage her, then finish her off with overkill. A couple of Odin auto attacks then annihilate/ragnarok missiles will do her in too. The longer the game goes, the more it's in Tychus' favor. The build is: 1) Dash. Combat tactician and press the advantage are for autoattack heavy builds. 4) The bigger they are... Master Assassin takes too long to get going, in the rhythm is for autoattack heavy builds, and fully loaded is just lame. TBTA gives you an eye-watering amount of burst against anyone, high HP or no. 7) Whatever one suits the situation best. Relentless if they've got 2+ reliable stuns, concussion grenade if they're melee heavy, quarterback otherwise. 10) Commandeer Odin. You'll burn a lot of mana with overkill and frag grenades, and the Odin's abilities are free. Use it once you've fired off your other abilities. You're also tankier and better at finishing people off with the larger range. 13) Spray and pray. That's the stuff! is okay, but bad against burst since it only heals you at the end. Neosteel coating isn't bad, but it doesn't help you get kills. 16) Armor piercing rounds. With that, you will utterly devastate ANYONE you target with overkill. Lead rain's effects are too marginal to be useful, and titan grenade doesn't add on as much damage. 20) Depends on comp heavily. If you took laser drill you should always take focusing diodes since it improves the ability so much. If the other team is tanky, get sizzlin' attacks. If they're dive heavy or very mobile, take bob and weave. Otherwise take big red button. This build is focused on killing squishy heroes with Tychus (such as Tracer), but it doesn't sacrifice the ability to kill tanky heroes to do so. Not that Tychus is ever bad at killing tanky heroes.

Tried out the distortion beam build for Tassadar, since a psi-storm focused build felt really weak. Also took Force Wall instead of Archon, and drat I underrated that ability. He definitely felt more satisfying to play, and with Samuro being on free rotation, his Oracle ability is amazing. I didn't notice force wall had such a low cooldown, its pretty brutal in teamfights. As much fun as nigh-permanent Archon is at 20, I think this build feels a lot more useful overall.

I kind of feel like Tychus has too low health for how short his attack range is. I know he's got the grenade and can move around with overkill, but he really needs to get uncomfortably close to do his main job, which is killing tanks.

Fried Watermelon posted:That would be neat, a Nexus category of heroes Could just add them to the blizzard classic category that only has the TLV so far and could only really fit Blackthorne and a Rock'n'Roll Racing race car. Besides there are plenty of other characters that stretch the 'all-star from an existing game,' definition. Nova was a character from an unfinished/scrapped game and had appeared in 0 blizzard games until HotS. Hell wasn't Kerrigan the only female ghost we saw in game in SC before her? ETC the rockstar is not a unit in any warcraft, or a WoW NPC, he's a fun nod to the band (named after a wc3 unit) some Blizzard devs play in.

Nova has a fairly decent NPC presence in SC2:WoL, and also her own mini-campaign in SC2 now. They still need to add Tosh though, we've got a ton of Spectre skins but no actual Spectres.

Khorne posted:The carry character is you, the player, because no matter what you play you need to carry the game. I mean I agree with this sentiment, and even think the notion of "the carry" in a team-based game is kind of dysfunctional and not a thing you should design for, but in the context of the discussion they were wondering if HotS had a character that could suddenly get a crazy power spike and that's Alarak right now, who I think might be the only character in the game that can shortcut his way through quests to get a big boost in power. I think he has one for Discord Strike that if you pull off the required combo gives it an overall 180 point damage boost, which naturally doubles against heroes.

I think it's a slap in the face that Blizzard is pulling characters for their allstars MOBA from failed games and old injoke references, and furthermore

I included the <x> part because they've changed the name a bunch of times as new games/expansions came out. It was originally "10th lvl Tauren Chieftan" for WC3, then was lvl 60 ETC, and so on.

I will give Blizz all the credit in the world for abandoning the DOTA IP so they could attempt to make an actually good game instead without upsetting the DOTA crowd.

I love my rockstar cow. Nova can rot though. Also gently caress Reghar, we should have just gotten 2 versions of Thrall and Kerrigan. edit: Or some spacegoat shaman, I guess that would've worked too.

I opened a chest with a Murky in it, but I already had Murky and he got sharded  If you get a dupe Murky from a chest, you should be able to play as two Murkys (or however many Murkys you have opened from chests)

People were talking about skins they'd want a few pages back; My favorite idea is Terran Lost Vikings. Olaf could be a not-marauder (like on Braxis), Erik could be a marine with a shotgun or something, and Erik could be a ghost.

I want ANY new skin for tlv.  On a different note, I don't get Hanamura. Pushing a cart to the depot makes it say 'timer reset' implying it's best to turn it in right after a second cart comes out?

Cuntellectual posted:I want ANY new skin for tlv. The sooner the turn in the better. The 1st and 2nd cart both have set launch times. The your 3rd comes out y minutes after the 1st makes it to the depot and the 4th is tied to the 2nd in the same way. That's also why delaying the enemy cart for even a few seconds is good.

TBTA gives you an eye-watering amount of burst against anyone, high HP or no. The bigger they are is a total trap if you ask me. If the enemy is getting hit by your allies, and tychus is a team fighter, then they're going to turn off your bonus damage. You're trading your ability to secure kills to spook people. Like you said he likes longer fights, anyway.

I've been going with That's The Stuff!/In The Rhythm on Tychus but I just eventually get to the point where I'm making GBS threads out damage for 8 seconds and die with a full hp heal waiting for Minigun to expire

The change from heal as you damage to heal at the end of minigun completely broke That's the Stuff and removed Tychus's only source of sustain.
