I haven't been playing much new Leoric - I just don't see when to pick him over Sonya or Dehaka now. If anyone knows when he'd be the better pick I'd be curious, I don't mind his playstyle or anything and Entomb is still one of my favorite ults in the game.

Is it me or does Samuro fill a similar role to Sonya but does a way worse job at it? I have been playing him and liking how he plays but the entire time I am thinking to myself everything this character can do Sonya can do better.

Samuro has been continuously nerfed since stealth heroes are very powerful in quick match, but since they're much much weaker in anything else he will never be a good pick.

It's called Egg Hunt because Easter Murky is canon.

As far as merc'ing yes, except samuro is a roamer and sonya should be solo in a lane in 95% of situations that aren't teamfights.

If the a) enemy team either has big beefy fellows for you to get value out of drain hope's percentage damage or b) there's squishies with no teleportation on their team and high aoe burst on your team for entombed value, leoric is probably a good secondary warrior pick.

PantsBandit posted:Bought kel with my saved up gold, that dude is way more technical than I thought. All of his abilities are DELAYED skill shots Go for the blighted frost build on grubby's site. Combo is E>E>W>R>Q. If there's two easily chained enemies do that and put the nova directly between them, if not use glacial spike or a convenient enemy building and put the nova adjacent to the spike/structure in the direction they're coming from. KTZ is very similar to Kerrigan, just like you don't usually use impaling blades without primal grasp, you should rarely be using chains or nova without the other. Keep an eye on other lanes, the good ult has global range and a 15 second cooldown, so if you see a low enemy running away toss it a bit ahead of them. It's pretty easy to avoid, but you might catch them, and even if you don't you could force them to slow down enough for a teammate to catch up and finish the job. Completing your trait quest is essential, you spike so hard once you do. With that in mind, you should never be in a solo lane if you can at all avoid it. Get in on that level 1 brawl, an E-W combo can lead to picks and you're stacking Blight regardless. If there's two of Diablo/ETC/Garrosh on your team, or Tracer/Genji/similarly mobile hero on the enemy team, resign yourself to not finishing your trait until level 16 or later, if ever.

Kel might as well be a crowd control oriented support before he completes his quest, but after that he can poo poo out tons of AOE damage.

Thanks for the tips. I think my primary hurdle to get over is that he's soooo squishy and has extremely limited escape options compared to most other squishies. I died so many times

The stun is short enough that if they're quick they'd be able to run out of it, but if you do E>W>E they get pulled into the nova.

How can you tell where to place the nova if you haven't hooked the other enemy yet?

It's basically simultaneous. The hook is so fast that it almost always hits. Just E, wait, W-E at once.

Yeah, that's fair, and I'm sure it's essential if you're trying to hook someone with bolt or something similar.

Check out this replay and look what the Li Ming does at 4:30 and 6:40. I know that I had fish eye but she goes right for my egg both times and just orbs it from range. And nobody on their team saw me place it either time. https://ufile.io/hpbzh

I've had successful support + tassadar/zarya drafts but I've never won a game when my team drafted two traditional supports. So far it's always been LiLi + other healer. When is double support a good comp? What healer combinations do well in double support?

Dire Human posted:Nothing says "maintenance mode with as little effort as possible" like a huge themed release of a long-requested character completele with animated announcement trailer and an in-depth making-of feature. The "dead game in maintenance mode" meme is seen in the LoL and Dota communities as well, so I guess a game can be considered successful when it reaches the point where its players are addicted enough to loathe it.

Maybe it's just me being bad or exaggerating but it seems like lately even in my poo poo tier there have been too many Tyrandes shooting owls with almost infallible accuracy. Like shooting owls diagonally across map and hitting people coming back to lane with no minions to provide visibility kind of snipes.
