That's still really, really powerful. Have you ever tried to clear a wave of unfocused minions, particularly later in the game? They hit pretty drat hard if given a singular target.

My thought is that it would have a very short duration, a tiny radius, and a decent cooldown. So if Raynor wanted to sick the whole wave on you he'd have to stand far closer to danger than he normally wants and it would only last for maybe 2~ minion attacks. Plus you can just...walk away from the wave? Also has the obvious in-built weakness that he can't command minions that are already dead or don't exist nearby.

Isn't the matchmaker supposed to not put heroes like Abathur and Nova on the same team? Or did that get thrown out with the stealth changes?

I have found that the greatest feeling in this game is making sick plays as Medivh. Saving people's asses with "protected btw", dropping sick full team Ley Line Seals, finishing Master's Touch at 3 minutes. :smug:

I love stealing camps/bosses with leyline. Even though people have seen it a dozen times by now they will still always group up into a conveniently easy to hit ley line group. And then you peace out with portal right as leyline wears off as the boss goes to smash down a keep.

The Master's Touch quest being baseline is actually a little absurd with how quickly some Medivh players can crank that thing out.

Nova and abathur on the same team is a series laning presence vacuum, as both are about as unoptimal as you can get for holding a lane by themselves.

I made this post almost 24 hours ago.

New Brawl is the heroic version of Deadman's Stand. One win for the lootbox, which is a rare chest. Didn't seem as hard as the previous heroic PvE brawl, then again I was matched up with people who knew what they were doing (one of them kept pointing things out like "leave one nuke behind now, so we can take the merc camp faster when it respawns").

Well, turns out...

a Blizzard employee posted:

UPDATE: This issue has been resolved, and the Deadman's Stand Brawl should now be correctly set to Heroic difficulty.

Hi everyone,

We’ve received reports that the Deadman’s Stand Brawl may not have correctly switched from Normal to Heroic difficulty with today’s Brawl rotation. We’re actively investigating and will keep you updated in this thread as soon as we have more information to share.

In the meantime, thank you for your patience as we work to address this.

Thank you!

Honestly the cooldown reduction from attacks on creep alone is worth the dang ult, but the map presence worm is an amazing cherry on top.

I love Zag (62% winrate this season, 58% last) and yeah I just can't give up Nydus. If it's Tomb, I just don't go Zag.

I love slam-jammin Brood Expansion at 16. Trade the AOE for single-target, and you get your second hydralisk after 4.8 seconds of AAs. That's insanely fast. In teamfights it's marginally less effective due to Muta's AOE, but I'd wager it's more than balanced by being much better at soloing a keep, or defending a boss / DK / Immortal, and those things win games too.

Fun, insane, stupid tip: drop a Nydus behind a random enemy solo laner and Nydus gank them. If you get even 5 seconds before a 2nd enemy comes to help them, the aforementioned Hydras should give you the sustain to win. If not, you died with honor in battle :v:

It does. But the cooldown reduction does apply to the creep tumor ability as well, and endless creep at level 20 gives it a stupid huge range.

Also, even if the tumor granting creep around the Nydus dies, the Nydus itself doesn't give a poo poo. Once the worm's there, it's there until killed.

COME ON DON'T BE SCURRED
The HotS reddit is now completely aflame with game issues, mostly to do with hero league. It's not just a bunch of random complainers too, as popular streamers, and now pro players and even people that work for Blizzard on the esports side ( https://www.reddit.com/user/Khaldor ) are frustrated about it. Hopefully some stuff is in the PTR patch today or is addressed by Blizzard soon.
