caberham posted:I can take down 1 v 1 Maiev as Jaina, or even Gaz. Well at least, hold my own lane and survive. Depends on the ELO and team comp I'd say. If Maeiv doesn't have a healer nearby, feel free to duel as much as you want since she doesn't have any self-sustain. At the very least she'll be less scary than she would be at full health. That said, if she has a teammate hiding in a bush she might just tether you to your death. Honestly though, it's unlikely you'll gank Maeiv without some hard cc and some help. She is just too slippery.

Also not worth dueling most of the time. Not to whine but a pet peeve of mine is not to stall time and make efficient plays. Lane trading and or juking each other is just a waste of time (unless that's your goal, to stall the enemy and zone). A 2 v 2 fight is way more meaningful than a 1 v 1. Two heroes mean more CC's, bursts, ganks, or whatever play setup than someone moving around for their ult or whatever

Putting damage on a solo laner with no sustain is good.

While Maiev does seem really strong, I've had a fun time today as Blaze when they try to W or ult me. I'm not trapped here with you, it's you that's trapped with me.

lucifirius posted:Reducing her range would be a good change, maybe make it the same as Tychus. Tychus has 4.5 range, so that would be the same as Tychus. Orange Crush Rush posted:I actually kind of wonder if it's possible to have damage falloff in this game and implement on her AAs. If she max range someone she sorta tickles, if she gets close on someone she shreds like normal. This also kind of puts her in line with how she plays in Overwatch as well. quote:What gets me about Tracer isn't that she's some uncounterable god, because she really does have some brutal hard ones against her, it's just that if you don't have any of those picks you are hosed. Like to the point where picking a tank that isn't taunt Varian or a ranged that isn't Greymane or something is just too risky when Tracer is open. It feels like games just get decided on draft with her, which is never a good thing. It's also why QM has become basically unplayable over time.

Not sure how people are winning so much as Maev. I feel like people have learned to not clump up for your Q and to just charge and kill you if you tether anyone. Especially against mage-heavy teams like Li Ming/KT + Tracer I get absolutely wrecked. Did have a couple good matches where people *did* clump us which was nice. But seems pretty dependent on happening upon an enemy team that does your work for you.

Because Maiev still punishes team fights on maps where the objective is a tiny space.

A public service announcement: when you're playing on Haunted Mines, don't let Murky and Sylvanas freely push a lane with only Abathur attempting to defend against them for seven uninterrupted minutes.

 Thank you that single Hero League game I played a few weeks ago. Also got Dehaka to level 5. Went from some of the worst most embarrassing games I've ever played to getting MVP. Also I unwrapped Junkrat from my first event box. This game can be nice sometimes.

If Hotslogs is to be believed I exist somewhere in the gold MMR range. I wouldn't blame the Abathur, I'd blame the rest of his team who let me and Sylvanas have the bottom lane all to ourselves until we basically killed a fort for free and the rest of the game was an utterly lopsided stomp from that point as we took every camp like clockwork and completely ignored the objective until gg. They really need to institute some sort of revision to how the objective works on Haunted Mines. The Abathur's team had gathered all the skulls from the smaller creeps but if they went to go kill the big golem it would have let us either A). push for free or B). go and gank them. Consequently actually trying to complete the objective would have placed them at a disadvantage and we had no incentive go to and complete it ourselves at that point for a 20-something skull golem to their 70-something skull golem. As a result the objective went uncompleted all game. Just instituting a countdown timer or something where after X minutes the golems spawn regardless of how may skulls were gathered and anyone with 0 skulls gets nothing would actually encourage people to go down and fight in the mines on purpose and lend some actual strategic weight to the point of the map.

Another reminder: you can save stim packs for later. If you open a loot box and get a stim pack, before you click accept or reroll, alt + f4. You can log back on, open other kinds of loot boxes (e.g. if you opened a stim in a normal loot box, you can open rare, event, or Arthas boxes), and keep playing. I have this bad boy waiting for the weekend to start   e: and I still have my HL apology legendary box. This one was a zagara chest

To be honest the only thing I pay attention to in this game is farming up a sick Hero Damage score for the inevitable end of the game so I can take all the credit for our victory, or alternatively, absolve myself of all blame when we lose With this strategy, you too can be a master/gold1 player in no time

New patch! (Maiev nerf) https://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/21508378/heroes-of-the-storm-patch-notes-february-09-2018-2-9-2018 Stats Basic Attack Damage reduced from 162 to 150 Base Maximum Health increased from 2150 to 2236 Health Regeneration increased from 4.48 to 4.66 Abilities Fan of Knives (Q) Damage decreased from 180 to 170 Vault of the Wardens (D) No longer grants passive Armor Talents Level 1 Naisha’s Memento (Active) Bounces no longer deal bonus damage Level 16 Armored Assault (Passive) Physical Damage bonus decreased from 35 to 25% Now activates if Maiev has any amount of bonus Armor Developer Comment: Maiev has arrived in the Nexus and seems to be obliterating her foes (as she should) but is slightly deadlier than we intended. The Warden’s survivability is currently too high, which allows her to get tons of resets on Fan of Knives while ignoring enemy threats. To address this, we’re removing her armor gain from Vault of the Wardens, while slightly lowering her damage output so that she has to stick around in the fight a little longer to take down her opponents. After these changes, we’ll continue to keep an eye on Maiev to be sure that she has enough survivability to perform her melee Assassin role, without it feeling like her enemies have little-to-no options for counterplay
