No Wave posted:Her Q seems beyond busted, like maybe there's a typo. Valla's W does 165 damage on a 12 second cooldown, Maiev's Q does 180 damage on a 4 or .5 second cooldown. That can't be right. Unlike Valla, Fan of Knives seems like Maiev's primary source of damage. Her other two abilities aren't really huge damage dealers and her autoattack is melee range unlike Valla who can shoot, use Hungering Arrow, and Multishot. John Murdoch posted:So...busted how? Reduced CD on Poison Spear gives you a fairly hefty chunk of damage on an even shorter cooldown, and landing spears also provides you with big bursts of fury to keep the slam train rolling longer. Being able to use the spear as a straight up movement ability means that even if someone does juke you it still functions as a gap-closer to chase people down and yeah, being able to use it as a pseudo escape is pretty useful as well. It does a whole lot of things together in a single talent.

Yeah exactly. And just having the escape lets you move around maps and merc more freely (you're not invincible but it makes a big difference).

So what are we thinking on talents? Probably a slow-on-pull for her bind? An increased movespeed on her blink? Probably some stupid quest for her Q to hit so many heroes for extra damage, or lower it's reset requirement to two heroes?

A talent to give her shadow strike.

Two is a huge difference from three. It's exponentially harder nope target. FoK sounds really strong on paper. Speaking of hitting multiple targets, how often is Johanna hitting 5 people with Punish? That talent is easily the hardest to complete in the game.

Absolutely day one buying Maiev. Not sure how good she'll be, but the playstyle looks right up my alley.

I hate that kind of poo poo. Just bump their health up It’s like Phantom Assassin from DOTA having a small mana pool but all her spells are cheap as poo poo. What’s the point Also Thrall is wicked i think as a melee assassin to learn. You figure out pretty quick when you can go in because it is like being killed instantly or killing three people on the enemy team and coming out of the fight at 75% life.

Some french GM zagara main takes bile drop without intending to complete it. He takes it for the 50% damage which helps push harder than 2 extra banelings. He doesn't usually take banelings talent at lvl 1 and picks infest instead.

That French dude got me to start taking drop at 7 except vs Nova, where I take slows after the lvl 1 range. I like drop cdr at 1 if I'm going drop at 7. Infest can surprise solo laners who think they can fight inside your minions, but I find more often I'm trying to drop from range and never go toe to toe.

Kurieg posted:You used to be able to complete it on Vs AI, but they're very good at juking out of targeting reticles now. AI is hilarious. I've been on a quest to GIT GUD at genji, and at this point I finally feel useful in qm, like I've done that chase-down-dudes-with-D-blade thing that looks real dope. But the AI against genji? Holy moly. If you E at ETC, he'll do his powerslide the literal microsecond after you hit E so that he stuns you mid dash. Same with Kaelthelas, he'll instant whirlwind stun you mid-dash. It's crazy. Speaking of ganji, what build do you guys like? I see a lot of good players recommending the E build, and maybe that is better in more organized play, but I found just going shurikan to get more consistent damage. Also lets you E in, and do enough Q damage to chunk people down in situations where no one is softening up enemies for you (which is almost always). tcjimbo posted:Some french GM zagara main takes bile drop without intending to complete it.

Yeah it's another quest like Jo's punishment or whatever, it gives a decent enough bonus without actually finishing it.

I just played with the most annoying Zera ever. He would go stand near where he thought some enemies were, wait to go full stealth, and then blink closer. And then wait for blink to come off cooldown, and then blink closer. And then wait for blink to come off cooldown and blink closer.

I had someone yell at me for focusing the dps, which was a welcome change. Also had an Artanis rage out because I was nanna-boosting him.
