Pitchfork was wrong. (f)lowers of Algerbong is crap.
No one in HOTS really has a particularly hard to land skillshot, getting all 3 missles to hit with a Seeker build is definitely one of the more difficult ones though.

orb build is my favorite QM Li-Ming build. It's so nice and safe and hitting your orbs is very satisfying.

Orb build is fine as long as you didn't like having mana.

Tried Malth for the first time yesterday... took the bad Ult. just because it looked fun. I felt... underpowered. Like I was just floating around in the middle of team fights plinking at people and getting burned down.

He's seems very matchup dependent. Absorbing 3% of Artanis or Diablo's health is very different from absorbing 3% of Valla or Tracer's health.

Well try the good ult because the whole point of it is to make you almost invincible in team fights!

If you don't have it you have to hit a good E or you're gonna have a bad time.

It's a misdirection like the D.va teaser and we're actually going to get Bastion. He meets Probius (who is basically a floating alien robot bird, even is yellow like Ganymede is) and they have an incomprehensible beepboop conversation and then go on a grand adventure together

E: it'll be loving adorable and heartwarming and it'll win an Emmy or something

Power Hungry is a trap talent on any map where you're away from the lanes for extended periods of time or where teamfights tend to happen further away from the lanes.

Teleport is a finishing move that is very powerful when the enemy team is grouped up, so think like greymane. As soon as one target is low, teleport in for the kill then teleport to the next lowest target. Very comp dependent build. My default build for Li-Ming is missiles - force armor just so freaking good against most teams.

She's usually able to get the orb and carry the effect into the fight, it helps her laneclear immensely, the top up from winning an objective from extra mp on orbs is way more than you'd regen at the low point anyway, and the threshold on triggering boosted mp is low enough that you're already starved and your tank is empty if you get any kind of chain going (which you won't because you're out of mana). Force Armor has its uses, but I don't think I've taken Astral Presence since it was nerfed like a year ago; any situation where I would think I'd need it I'm not playing Li Ming. If you're getting value out of Astral the fight is probably not going well and you're poking with bowling balls from max range at an objective because your team is down bodies.

All of the characters in every MOBA are referential to other games. HOTS is just the return to source perfection of the relentless stealing of ideas.
