So, generally and maybe map-specific if anyone's bored enough, what are some of the better duoqueue hero combos (even ones with minor synergies like Jaina/malf, etc.)?

Coming back to this game after a long hiatus and mostly I'll be playing with my roommate, so we're trying to hook some fun synergistic duos to dominate lanes and fights with.

morales/hammer is the classic pubstomp combo, morales heals single targets incredibly fast and hammer has a really long autoattack range

put them together and you have something that the average pubby cannot solve - nobody's willing to take the initiative to dive hammer to get at morales and morales can outheal virtually any amount of poke

He doesn't have a cleanse, but he does have literally every CC option except for a non-conditional stun

i think launching someone across the map is just as good as a stun

This is only my 2nd season. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try there's at least 1 fucktard doing something stupid to throw the game.

if you're playing correctly and not tilting then over time you'll win more than you lose because there's only a 4/9 chance of the fucktard being on your team but a 5/9 chance of them being on the enemy team

In high Diamond and low Platinum, I STILL get people who auto-highlight Nova and just say "You ban Nova, I leave." or "You ban Nova, I feed."

If I am not banning, then I pray that the guy who does bans Nova to save us all.

what do these people do if the other team bans nova

The only times I've wiped in the brawl are when somebody ignores Abathur on the second screen. It can make the Zagara pit a bit treacherous when the Monstrosity sneaks up behind you.

yeah i've wiped a few times and they're all in zagara's little fuckfest

i am calling it now, they are going to change blaze's level 4 talent tier, meltdown is so much better than everything else on that tier that you're an idiot if you don't pick it

i've played blaze a whole bunch and so far my experience with bunker vs. combustion is that you have to play it by ear and pick bunker if the enemy comp seems to have debuff-reliant champions bunker would gently caress over and they're competent and your team seems like they're trying to avoid damage and not just playing like "RUN AT ENEMY TEAM AND MASH MAXIMUM DAMAGE BUTTONS"

i think i've picked combustion over bunker like... 66% of the time, and when i do pick bunker sometimes i've misjudged the situation in which case it's about as useful as a wet fart, but when bunker is useful it's really useful

one trick to combustion is to fart out a bunch of oil slicks first so that it's harder to get away from you

bunker also fucks over combo-chromie hard because getting into it just makes the time loop effect vanish and do nothing, even if you immediately get back out

i own and have played every warrior a decent amount and my thinking on yrel is that she has problems but they're not simple numbers fixes

my two biggest complaints with her are

1. her animations while charging are cool but also tell your opponent exactly what you're doing and when they need to stun you to prevent healing/CC/escape
2. she isn't unstoppable mid-leap which can be really frustrating when you charge it all the way up and then jump over a bear trap or something and get pulled out of the sky

maybe i'm weird but i always try to find an excuse to pick planet cracker as fenix, and my excuse is typically "we have any kind of cc that can hit more than one person at a time"

yeah, purification barrage can't miss, but the damage on it feels so anemic
