Please don't refer to Stage Dive and Falling Sword as 'their leap ults'.

Only leap ult is Sonya, son.

Hanzo's good but I wish you could hold right-click to move while holding your Q charged. Seems awkward that you don't have the option.

You... can? Maybe it's only if you have 'quick cast on release' enabled, but you definitely can. As a result it's impossible to cancel casting your Q though (not that this is really a problem).

Edit: oh, you specifically said hold right click, which you cannot. But you can tap right click to move.

Here at the end of 2017, there's still nothing more satisfying than playing Murky and driving the red team to absolute frustration with a tiny fishman barfing slime all over them and stealing their siege giants.

Same. I played Volskaya today, sat in bottom lane as Murky while their Johanna and Azmo wasted half the game trying to deal with me.

I love taking the bubble talents, it's great just slipping away from a gank, only to come back seconds later at full health.

Lately I've discovered the joys of Egg Shell whereas I used to go Rejuvinating Bubble. The shield is only once per life but it helps against burstier comps, giving you a bit more room to work and of course if you decide to go with Big Tuna Kahuna at 20 you get to have 6000 hitpoints per life which is kind of insane.

Murky's good because a lot of people get mad if you try to stop murky from pushing down your towers. leave him alone it's just murky!!!

The entire point of Murky is to annoy the enemy and make them waste time on you and get frustrated. Even if they kill you, they can't rotate away because you'll be back up in 8 seconds.

In other areas, he's got great waveclear and is actually very effective at chasing down retreating enemies. Both of his ults are pretty mediocre now, and I'd go so far as to say Octo-grab is only useful in organised teams.

Heed the words of this ancient spirit.
Octograb is still amazing if you don't blow it at the start of team fights when everyone's cooldowns are up. Just wait for someone to inevitably get caught out of position where their team can't easily help them and bam. You need patience and you need to be able to read team fights well enough to judge how easily they will be able to delete you when you cast it. It's a short cooldown too so it's not even a big deal if you whiff it.

It also makes Murky one of the best 1v1 heroes in the game if you take Tufferfish (+50% W damage) and the bubble talents. You just have to survive long enough to get them to about 60% hp or so and a puffer-octo combo will finish almost anyone off. This means you can aggressively assault the backline or even solo push and it will take 2+ heroes to stop you. Remember to wait a second after casting W before using Octo so they don't have that split second window to ice block or teleport away or whatever.

(Also Octo increases in value every time they remove cleanse from a support or add a new support without it)


Meanwhile good players will just move out of March of the Murlocs and you know your team will chase them and move the fight well away from where you cast it. It's too easy to get zero value considering its 110 second cooldown.

Murky is the best hero in the game

In addition to the points already raised, Murky makes a great pilot for vehicles on maps like Dragon Shire or Garden of Terror because you can push as hard as you want with them and if you die once the vehicle is destroyed oh well, back to work in another lane I guess.

This rock music is pretty pussified, but Diablo is my most played hero and listening to Iron Maiden and Judas Priest at the same time noticeably improves my game. Diablo is Metal as gently caress, and heightening your aggression with appropriate tunes is a force multiplier to his extreme aggro playstyle.

Also stage dive gets picked in a niche way in pro games semi-often for a similar reason that illi's The Hunt is. Turning your hero into a pseudo-global can be very strong in a pro-tier macro game, especially if the enemy has 3 or more reliable Mosh interrupts.

Tried Li-Ming for the first time in a long while, and man, Power Hungry seems absolutely busted now thanks to the globe changes. You can harass and poke the enemy out of lane, then get both globes and effectively get full mana back. I could see it getting nerfed into oblivion at some point, but everyone keeps bitching about Overwatch heroes too much to notice, it seems.
