I think Jaina is the mage to practice ranged assassins with. No mobility so you learn where you can and cannot stand but with cc built into her kit so it’s a little bit easier

Kind of weird but I find harder assassins like ktz, alarak, and kerrigan the most fun to learn on. It is so rewarding when you wipe people out with good combos and plays, so you want to stay alive just to keep doing it. When you're dead you're not blowing people up so you're like poo poo how do I stay alive to do more sick combos. Kinda weird but I feel those heroes have helped me learn a lot. Counterpoint to my own argument is I rarely play these in ranked because there are safer characters who are just as effective for less work. RIP me.

dead comedy forums posted:Hey, can you guys suggest a good assassin hero? I have been playing a while now but, all roles considered, assassins are the one that stumps me the most and I would like to practice with one that allows you to really "get" the feel of the role. Thanks in advance Raynor. He is a lawn mower. My build's always: 1: Veteran Marksman* 4: Sustaining Rounds 7: Unstable Compound 10: Raynor's Raider 13: Giddy-Up 16: Bounty Hunter 20: Execute * Only needs ~40 stacks until one burst is equal to bonus damage from four Ace in the Hole attacks against a fully affected hero, and VM's damage applies to everything. Stay in the rear and mow down anything anyone's engaging. Try to make sure your 4th attacks hit on heroes. When fleeing, remember Q knocks chasers away. Remember W boosts minions and mercenaries, too. FILE_FOOTAGE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faqft3m_wwU

Paging Dr. Freud, cleanup on aisle three - That you guys read that post in that tone, and not in the intended one of incredulity at describing Kerrigan as ‘hard’ says more about you than it does about me.

Eh, Kerrigan had a couple of weeks as super OP but for basically the last year she has not been great, has a combo that's required to get off to play her, and is a melee assassin in an unfriendly meta.

My biggest problem with Mal'Ganis is his talents seem very lopsided. Why would you ever want a level 7 talent other than Will of Tichondrius? It just seems so much better than the other ones.dead comedy forums posted:Hey, can you guys suggest a good assassin hero?

Accretionist posted:Raynor. He is a lawn mower. Raynor’s infinite stacking on Marksman can win games single-handed. He feels like a league snowballing hero that somehow made his way into hots. I was playing a game with him last night on Braxis and we were behind significantly. I had died a bunch. They had KT, ETC, Malg, and Auriel. But I had 80 stacks. They got cocky and came at me one at a time during a team fight starting with the tanks. Both tanks got melted first before that could Cc me. KT died in two hits from a back to back Pepper (4 stack + trait activation from 16). We pushed straight to the core. They rezzed before we got there and faced the same near instant death again. You have to either CC Raynor to death or end the game quickly. If you let him get 20 and get really stacked it’s over. I fully expect there to be some rebalancing here at some point because he is way too good in long games.

I was in a team league game with 4 of my irl friends who are bad. We were behind all game and even saved the nexus at 20% at one point. We won because I had 150+ stacks. I had 200k hero damage on raynor Lmao

Gobbeldygook posted:A GM plus four silver players vs five plat players legitimately sounds like a fair match. They dont have to be actual silver players though. They can just be accounts with intentionally tanked ratings to mess with the matchmaking and give GM players easy wins. Its pretty dumb now that I'm seeing it in games myself.

Balance and good matchmaking is only for AAA companies, we can't expect anything decent from small indie company Activision-Blizzard.

On Malganis. They should have just called his alt colors different Dreadlords. Like Instead of Darkener Malganis, it's Tichondrius, and his voice changes to Tichondrius and stuff.

While his voice is still kind of doofy in all of them I'm pretty sure that's what they were going for, "Darkener" being Tichondrius with the red/black and blued skin, "Undercity" pretty obviously being totally-not-Varimathras.

What's a good support that has Bribe other than Brightwing? I mostly just support with Tyrande, and she's fine, but I'd like some actual clear speed for when my team forgets merc camps exist.

Brightwing is the only Support with Bribe. For non-supports, Falstad, Nova, Murky, and The Lost Vikings also carry it.

I don't like Bribe on Falstad even though it appears to be his best talent on that tier. Gathering Storm is my go-to, though I'm unable to articulate as to why.

I dont take it. I see a lot of streamers take it and it's one of those builds that seems better against more experienced opponents who think they know the matchup and lose the 1v1 unexpectedly due to the increased W shields/dmg.
