Good thing it's only a PTR patch and not public, so it's bound to be tweaked to something more reasonable like 20 armor.
Also keep in mind that the armor is applied if they take damage, so surely the first big hit hit is unarmored.

I get mad when I have to go up against a 4,000 hour zeratul, illidan, valla. Nobody is seething because they see a useless abathur on the opposing team. the ONLY time you are ever any degree of a problem is if that 4,000 hour zeratul, illidan, valla ends up on your team you passively make them 30% harder to kill. in the extreme majority of cases you either result in an auto loss or essentially making the game a 4v4, because the queue system usually mirrors abathurs.

It's b5 so they cant capitalize on the taken objective. If your team is not taking camps take one just before objective and go to another lane
just keep pushing forts
if the enemy dedicates one or two fags to stop you during an objective your team has an equal or better chance at winning the fight even if you die

I'll admit BHB was very hit or miss in terms of actual game quality because it's the least intuitive mixed with most different from normal gameplay type of map. Like it requires a very different skillset than bunga pushing a lane with azmodan. Often in my experience it's a stomp one way or another more than other maps but honestly that made it a nice change of pace from every map being cursed hollow.

you can specialize in any gimmick play and get out of bronze if you do it well enough.
I don't suggest this though because you'll be stuck in silver hell instead.

Instead, I recommend heroes that can solo wave clear, camp clear, teamfight well by themself, like Malthael and Greymane
1. avoid 1v1 / non-objective skirmish forcus on staying alive in lane
2. quickly clear camp before obj timing so your merc can siege enemy defenses - this force the enemy to ignore the camp OR you get to 5v4 them at objective.

These 2 things should get you out of bronze very quickly if you're doing it right, and it's still the right thing to do in higher rank, most of the time.

3. when you're level 20 or above, glue yourself to the team. actively tell everyone to gather up, go as 5 all the time. there're some exception in some situations but most of the time it's just this.
4. push keep, get keep, then GO BACK. Don't hang around pointlesly. Don't try to steal their camp when they're looking for you. Low rank players do did VERY often for no good reasons.

good luck on your journey

The more I think about it the more I agree. I haven't played hots in a minute but Samuro in qp has easily been the most cancerous shit in the entire game (aside from 5 stacks premade to wombo combo)

Valeera or Nova at their strongest were never even close to Samuro in the hands of a half-decent player today, No counterplay at all for 80% of the characters. His retarded cup and ball game gimmick isn't even a thing, because choosing "right" doesn't actually reward you - he just teleports and vanishes and runs away. The fact that they are nerfing Dehaka and not Samuro is obvious favoritism. FUCK fucking Samuro, after these xp changes it's going to be unplayable against pushfag samuros.

In solo QM, the game will force 50% WR on you extremely hard. you will not get more than ~55% unless you're at the very top of the player bracket. These kind of WR (picrel) is not really possible anymore. (I had like 66% WR on pre-rework Samuro. he was broken as fuck)

In Ranked, you will be above 50% when you're climbing and you will probably stay a bit above 50% when you're at your place. so there's not much to say

I don't know the talents because I don't play him, but I know for a fact he can:

1. murder solo mages if they are far from their team or towers (with spinny ult tho idk if that's the best pick)
2. out-trade most characters in a 1v1 after a certain point, especially if they don't have cleave to hit all the clones (1/3 chance you do no actual damage
3. splitpush as effectively as any specialist and hit forts with impunity even without minions because clones
4. can outrun almost anyone except tracer/genji and a few others, or unless you full stun him from like 60% hp to 0% and kill him without a millisecond where he gets control of his character to tp away and vanish
5. heals all his health back after vanishing away, further dominating in qp games with no healers.

Like I said I don't play him, but I do play murky with a 60% qp wr, and it feels very similar in that you need to really push the limits on being an annoying faggot. Most people don't understand how to truly be annoying with the characters at 100% efficiency, though samuro is easily more dishonest and easier to play than murky who is actually countered by certain characters and sucks early game, unlike sam who is just mid early game. If a samuro player dies more than once a game they're genuinely dogshit. The good ones who main him with 500 levels will never die a single time over multiple games.

Again for >>719766065
I'll just say:
I learned Murky by getting assraped by a few really good ones and watching the replay and asking myself why they were doing what they were doing (a lot of decisions that are optimal look like trolling) samuro is the same way. Not to sound pretentious but it's very chess-like in that it's not about you doing the right move, but doing moves that limit your enemies moves. Optimal faggot making-their-life-hell decision making. No lane can be unguarded. No healer or mage can walk around alone or they die to octograb. All camps get stolen, etc.

I hope they never officially revive this game. Heroes is like a time capsule from before Blizzard fired all the based rapists and went full gaytard mode. It already started showing with the whole Nexus lore thing, when they started introducing literal LoL tier characters to appeal to that kind of demographic, instead of just using their oldschool designs, which was like, the entire point of the fucking game?

I mean they don't even have Samwise anymore, this game would totally be gayified even further if it ever got revived.

Dehaka is really strong, he can clear sidelanes while being available for whatever teamfights, and is more useful for a team than Failstad. With this change, if you wait 2 waves to get all Globes the CD is effectively 70s, so it seems to encourage him to be more of a laner than simply roaming all the time. What I'm curious about is the lvl20 because if it just drops the base CD to 50 then he can teleport after every wave which is dope.

Seems like cancer when trying to snipe people running behind gates with Azmodunk or Greymane bottles, and having the buffs on the Core seems kinda gay, but it seems like they want people to be more intentional about attacking and defending Forts rather than letting camps and minions do all the work. As for the HP and minion tweaks, Zag/Hammer/Raynor/Azmodan/Sylvanas will probably like them, while Xul/Abathur and a lot of mages will be less pleased.

there was a period where lucio was gigabuffed and he was in every GM game 24/7 perma harrassing while being unpunishable. I think that's the most obnoxious a healer has ever been in hots

because polymorph stops auto attack, slows, and prevents spellcasting, its de-facto a ranged point and click stun

Was that right on release?
I started playing RIGHT when he was released actually, but back then I played at... sub Bronze ranks not that I got much better desu so I don't think I got to see him at his full power, ever.

Nah, it wasn't on release. Release Lucio was just a healing aura. This was pretty soon after they reworked his talents and gave him a ton of offensive talents/movespeed options, and the dash on D.

Tassadar can be an absolute menace with his basic attack that slows enemies and the force wall that he can summon to block paths.
Anonymous No.719779838
>>719779471
Yes, he's an artillery mage with a void ray beam for his right click. Q is a line target nuke that drags a lightning beam in a straight line away from him, W is still psi-storm but it deals more damage the longer someone is in it, E is force wall that summons a decent sized wall for a couple seconds perpendicular to tass, and his ults are archon form and black hole that shoots out a slow moving AoE in a straight line that drags people towards the center and stuns them if they touch it.

there already barely was punishment for the heroes who do fuck you up under tower. Getting 50 armor and slowing them is going to do much more to stop any assassin than them getting shot once by the fort will
>bases are easier to kill
they're easier to push with creeps, they're more resilient against solo pushing and objectives because they got a large hp increase, we'll have to see how that actually plays out if it even keeps people in lanes or if rushing objective is still worth more

how is it even possible to model something so poorly? I could never let myself submit something so sloppy.

Also helped by the fact the HotS forums on Blizz site being the 2.0 version of the 2000s WoW forums with the game’s moderators engaging with the playerbase and occasionally jumping into games with us. You could tell they really gave a shit about the game and watching what it became after the 2.0 β€œupdate” introducing all the Overwatch bullshit and them all leaving one by one was sad.
