I just had a game with a Tychus whose only communications were "WE KILL TANK" and the clapping emoji (for when we killed their tanks).

And consistently he pulls it off from the left side of the core when up 5v4.

I just don’t understand why they just left their core undefended? Like at that point they have a talent level and three vs five around the core with three of them at half health.

I guess they just really wanted to go for it?

Doesn't Chen get crazy damage reduction when drinking? I thought vs. Tychus would be one of the only use cases for him (picking him into a Tychus).

It was collaborative, both teams were in comms together and will probably be disciplined by Blizzard.

No he just gains shields, slower than Tychus can trait him. Plus grenade stops drinking. It's probably his worst match up.

Chen is one of those heroes who feels like he desperately needs a rework, given how badly he's punished by recent trends in Hero design.

Chen's problem is that when he's in his element, he's completely unstoppable. To that end, he doesn't need a rework, he just needs QoL improvements in the form of a modernization pass on his abilities. For example, Keg Toss and Breath of Fire would really benefit from being instant (or even transient) and make him less underwhelming in situations he doesn't excel in without broadening his horizons too much.

Been trying out Azmodan lately, what are some good tips forgetting stacks with minions? Like I do ok as long as I have heroes to punish, but as soon as I'm dependent on getting my orbs from minions I fall off. Like do I try to last hit the whole pack or should I be using my orb on other lanes to let other champs clear?

Don't try to last hit the entire stack, even last hitting 2 or 3 is good enough. Weaken the backline because minions will ignore them and even if the meteor doesn't kill them, hopefully your first attack with bombardment will. Once you get past level 10 R+Orb should kill everything but the melee minions.

As long as they die within a (short) time after you hit them, it counts for stacks IIRC, so focus more on just hitting things than trying to get all last-hits.

Ask if someone can help you stack (they will do damage to the wave and then you finish it off with orb). If you get help, great! You can now get good stacks going back and forth between 2 lanes. If not, you'll be lucky to reach 100 stacks before level 10.

I kicked rear end as Fenix the other day, with 4 friends on my team versus another team of 5, double the siege damage and hero damage from the next guy and something like 15 kills. At one point I got a 4-man multikill by warping into the other team, slowing them with the rotator and then tagging them with the purifier. Fenix owns and he's so easy to get good plays out of.

E: ^^^ Diablo 2 didn't have great graphics and iirc there wasn't a cinematic with him, so I think that was post hoc design that never went canon.

E2: I checked and there was a cinematic. That art is deffo an embellishment for grimdark teens. Abilities could be deception/control, whip CC/disarm, summon bats and fire for ambiance, or more likely his actual teleport (sigh), charged bolt and poison cloud.

He could still be a clean slate ability wise. I know they're against more summonables but I hope he can create a Fetish Shaman which clearly is just one Fetish standing on another's shoulders with a mask on :3:
