Speaking to my experience in masters/gm games, being able to instantly take a camp and go contest the enemies camp as 5 before an objective is huge value. Plus lightning rod with range is even safer than Q poke for teamfighting. You don't have to be in range all the time, just every time the lightning zaps. And it's really forgiving. If they are touching your circle at all it will count. Edit: You don't have to go full w build either. I almost always take hammer gains at 4 for better side laning and sustain. I also sometimes take BOOMerang at 7 if I need faster wave clear SSJ_naruto_2003 fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Oct 23, 2018 |

I've done W build before it's alright. You want when you're on 3 lane maps where you need to cap mercs before rotating to another lane, You can drop it on heroes like tracer and genji after they use their mobility skills and get some really good damage without having to aim skillshots. edit: yes always take hammer gains at 4

The W build is the best dueling build. It does a suprising amount of single target damage.

Just sell me one of those blizzard, do the good thing that a lot of other games do by this point, character grinding is always trash even in an otherwise fun game. It'd also make the game a whole lot easier to sell to people when you can just buy in for a not-exorbitant amount.

I also don't understand why they didn't keep the 2.0 launch bundles around. I imagine getting 20 heroes right of the bat was a way to keep new players around (for longer while). Edit: Don't look at this page if you started playing after May 2017, because you will be frustrated by missing out on this: https://heroesofthestorm.com/en-gb/heroes20/megabundles/

I'll be honest, I sometimes think I have too many heroes and because I have them, I feel "obliged" to play them. It sounds weird but for example I found myself recently playing Nazeebo to 20 and now that he is there, I will probably focus on Gazlowe and/or Zagara and ignore Nazeebo. I could probably become a far better player if I settled on only 5-6 heroes.

I bought the assassins bundle just because it gave me the most heroes (I rarely played assassins). Just 10 more heroes to catch them all! Speaking of which: Deckard is 50% off the gem price this week.kaesarsosei posted:I'll be honest, I sometimes think I have too many heroes and because I have them, I feel "obliged" to play them.

I could probably become a far better player if I settled on only 5-6 heroes. I recently leveled every hero to 10 (except Mal'Ganis and Cho'Gall) and right now I'm really narrowing down which characters I want to keep playing. Some heroes dropped of my list because they are just not good right now (I love Blaze, but the mana nerfs made him no longer fun to play) or because I'm not going get the max value out of them (any hero that has just too much clicking because I ain't 19 years old).

Speaking of which: Deckard is 50% off the gem price this week. FYI word is that Blaze is a not-awful MT now with the HP buff. Apparently MT is what he was supposed to be out of the gate which I guess is why he got such good waveclear and self sustain

He was being sarcastic. The sustain part, lots of the main tanks have sustain one way or another (especially the best two diablo and muradin) i dont think it's really a fair criticism.

Mal'Ganis is a very offensively-oriented MT that benefits greatly from a team that brings their own CC to follow his setups. He's not a pick-generating machine like Garrosh or Diablo so I'm hesitant to suggest that he'll see much Pro play, but he's an excellent choice for a draft that likes to brawl.

Thanks guys for suggesting Raynor earlier on, the 4th strike mechanic and having to pay attention to positioning is helping a lot in learning how to kill heroes effectively. Off-topic, but after unlocking a few comedy skins, gotta say that is by far my favorite feature of the game - lovebug Anubarak and lumberjack Uther are great, but man if I ever unlock Azmodunk I am going to do some serious specialization  (I also unlocked Scorpion Queen Zagara and looks loving awesome)
