On the op it says hero league is solo or duo and team league is groups of 5. This is no longer true. Hero league is solo only and team league is 2,3,or 5

Smash Varian is not squishy you dweeb. I've seen him quite often in HL and played it as triple parry into smash and you can both delete one person from the map as well as be invincible for like 8 seconds in a row.

There's no misuse. I'm awful at Varian and just press the parry button from the time I go in until the fights over and it works mostly.

Mind over Matter posted:So, going back to the recent topic of solo laners. I have some questions. Basically, what is the ideal situation for a solo laner to end up in? I understand the things you ideally don't want. You don't want to die or have to back if you can avoid it. You don't want to get ganked if someone rotates to you. You don't want their minions to beat on your walls or worse. But what is the situation you DO want? I used to think that the ideal was to clear the enemy wave ASAP, but people here have over time said that's not ideal sometimes, because if the wave gets so far out that you can't soak the next enemies safely that's bad. So that would seem to indicate that I don't necessarily want to push my lane to the enemy fort even if it's damaging their stuff. So is the "ideal" solo lane simply to zone the enemy out of soak range and then let the minions all kill each other off? Or what? if you're able to zone the enemy off, do that. if you're unable to do that but feel like you can avoid ganks, push up to their walls to waste turret shots, then rotate to have position in case you need to gank. if you can't do either one just soak exp

Paranoid Peanut posted:What's your build like? I tried her for a bit yesterday and missed her old kit. 1 depends on team 4 is stun range but if you have two auto attackers or plan on auto attacking go trueshot 7 is mark of mending but all are okay 10 is normally shadowstalk now but I keep trying to make starfall work 13 is quickening or rangers mark. Go mark on BoE or if you are attacking a lot. 16 all viable. The owl talent can chunk a Frontliner or reduce damage from a diver, the splash talent is actually huge, especially on choke point maps. If you are auto attacking a ton and it's not 2 or 3 tanks, the ramping damage one is good. 20 I almost always go shooting star, now that it doesn't require a hero to stack up you can hit a minion 7 times before a team fight and get an early stun proc. Iceblade arrows is good too. I don't like the ult upgrades since you already poo poo heals and Mark got nerfed One of the most important things to do on tyrande is always be hitting people. The heal CD reduction if you're attacking and using spells is massive, you can out heal a lot of damage on someone if they're being jumped. Your own damage is lower now but you still do respectable dps. Get good at landing arrows to set your team up rather than using them only as a followup, I think that's the most important part of her. Especially if you take lunar flare at 4

BrianBoitano posted:How often does shooting star actually hit people, since heroes tend to move during fights? If it reset your CD so you could cast it I'd never pick anything else. It hits very often. People aren't running constantly in fights, they're trying to attack and cast spells. If it forces a KT to run away instead of dropping more bombs, it's good. It also targets the closest person more often it seems, so it's good for peeling. I like it a lot if I'm ever able to auto more than a couple of times. I don't feel like I ever need more healing as tyrande and the reveal on shadowstalk is negligible in my opinion. In most lategame matches you can tell where your opponents will be, and you also have owl and arrow to spot check any scary bushes.

Good Canadian Boy posted:Hardest hero to play is clone ult samuro and it's not even close. KTZ is easy to play once you quick cast everything and just assume you will always hit your combo and spam it all out at once. Tbf that is because vikings have been absurdly broken for years. I don't know if the recent nerfs helped or not. I was very bad at playing them and won almost every game I tried them previously, and that was in 3k master or so

Yeah it seems like Fenix and Yrel are some of the top solo laners in the game and Whitemane is competing with tyrande for op support. Whitemane has more sheer healing and tyrande has more play making capability.. Mephisto may be slightly over tuned at the moment

garthoneeye posted:The problem with the ammo change is the stated goal was to reward more aggressive play in the laning phase and the result, particularly at high level, is that there is less reason to play aggressively. Yep. With unlimited ammo it's trivial to kite the minions around in front of your towers forever. Thus the sideline became yrel and blaze

It's making him an easier side laner to play in solo queue by giving him lower CD on escape move and more health and health regen. It may improve his wr a percent or two while making him worse in competitive, as they wanted

After hundreds of games some GMs were still getting +30 PRA every game. Ah. Yeah seasons should be a little longer then, I didn't realize they were so short. It seems like a bigger spread of players in masters will result in a more correct ladder overall but not if seasons are so short. Currently I'm getting +35 each game, I was wondering when that will fall off. I guess not for a while. Thanks!

No Wave posted:Tyrael is another character who fails lots of main tank metrics but he's still used because he's good in the 4 man (has aoe buffs, can get in and out reliably, etc). I don't think Blaze's moveset is fundamentally flawed, if you removed his aoe attack and weakened his pve damage and buffed a bunch of crap to compensate it might be plausible. But that's a lot of ifs, and i doubt it will happen. I haven't seen a tyrael Ingame since I returned to the game, so maybe 150 matches. I assume he's played some in pro?
