This sounds too dangerous
1/1, needs more testing
mac 1st impression video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8goPdVGZK6g&feature=youtu.be
tldr; underwhelming
id agree on paper (havent played him), no survivability, no cc, like atm there doesn't seem to be much to make me go yeah I'd choose this guy over raynor or valla or something
but at the same time his talents are really interesting, like in terms of single target dps his is probably the best. im prtty interested in what his go-to talents will be and stuff
my bruh says his lvl 20 human splash is ridic tho?
he def seems to scale hard

yeah he looks super fun, waiting for that price drop
i agree with mac that compared to nidalee/jayce in league and ullr in smite his kit is slightly disappointing but it is kind of in line w/ blizzard style design. having d be shapeshift and having 6 unique spells + ult would have been nice but whatever it's not a big deal

Just from playing around with his talents, that human splash talent felt flat-out broken. The AoE is huge, and with it he can often damage backline squishies while positioning to attack frontline beef. Of course, if he's subpar from 1-19 it doesn't really matter how good he is at 20+.

Greymane is Butcher minus survivability, plus range. Harder to bully out of lane early because of his range, great at picking off heroes that are horribly out of position, great at getting horribly out of position with his dive and he melts pretty fast in teamfights without a pocket healer. Bought him with gold but I haven't tried him yet, just played against the standard tide of Greymane's tonight. Just trying to get Lunrare to 10 so I can stop playing the hero. Her slow is actually really great against him, you have to be incredibly careful with your positioning. He looks like he could be fun in a group but hell solo.

I fucking hate Lunara, she's Murky with a regular spawn timer. I don't know why I'm grinding her up to 10. On top of my general disatisfaction with the game since the last patch I'm grinding out a hero I've grown to hate playing.
Basically I'm filling in for Yoshi.

Greymane seems basically what he felt like in try mode a few weeks ago, he melts people unless he gets melted first, and boy does he go down fast. Rolling Greymane and Uther with shield duo with the lady friend, seems like good stuff for QM but probably as easy to shut down in HL as Morales
Then again I haven't touched HL in 3 months so I wouldn't know

I would venture your general dissatisfaction is amplified to a large degree by playing the worst hero in the game currently, and playing it exclusively.
God speed with that endeavor. You must love pain.
Just drop her till they fix her. It's not worth putting your dick in a blender like this.
Can't say I'm surprised MadTimmy's been dropped again.

Seriously couldn't wait 2 days to pull the trigger on a new thread now I missed it.
Welcome back to the land of the living breh.
Can you please post them if they ever do.

I was just in the middle east for 3 weeks, quite convenient considering not much internet when going camping.
Anyways did I miss anything. Heroes Rising was impressive considering the Kickstarter ended with just 8k and even the rebroadcast had upwards of 1.5k viewers.
Didn't watch it though, any particular matches I should rewatch? Oh and what's up with Lunara I know she's not great but I had a lot of fun with her. Only played her for a couple days though and haven't played HoTS since coming back.
I looked her up on hotslogs and maybe because of people being down on her there's like zero consensus on how to play her.
I've had the most success with her
, played her for only 8 games and only won 4 of those though,
I also love the nimble wisp to scout bushes and a general warning beacon that lets me retreat in time. Which is pretty much every time anyone shows up even remotely on the radar.
Oh and Nature's Culling dunno how good it is but it was certainly quite something to see the huge poison bars on building.
Will do if I ever come across them. You're more likely to find them since you seem to check YT often. If I see a post, I'll grab the link.
I've personally been using Human AA build whenever I've used him. A ton of fun, imo. He's way too squishy to go ham in melee and stick in the thick for long. Hopefully once the stun meta chills out, he'll be more viable to play that style.

Yep kirb was talking about it a few posts back.
Something had to give. Team under performs at every single tournament.
Really hope they ban out sub-5 heroes from Hero League. No good reason not to do it.
Oh, I don't disagree. But since they don't, I enjoy the data that we get as a result, since I prefer to watch the trends more than just a single data point.
Edit - any way, my main point was to highlight just how borked Lunara is, if Greymane can overtake her in winrate in less than a day.
Hadn't had the chance to reply in the old thread so I'm hijacking this reply to highlight it but somebody did the match for end game XP.

Guys, remember when everyone said Blizzard only released OP heroes to make money and then nerfed em?

Yeah I guess that's a better way of saying what I think myself and the other person were getting at.
Whether it's your level or the time elapsed, they seem to kind of correlate at a certain point if the game lasts long enough. What I mean is it's hard to be behind by 2-3 levels when you are past 20 minutes, so for the most part at that point everyone is even on levels so level of your team does more or less = time if it's a long game because you inevitably catch up or stagnate.
Everyone's favorite BMer Lightknite69 is 152. Huehue.

Greymane seems okay, but he's not OP for sure.

Thanks.
So basically, if we're almost up a level, it'd be worth downing a nearby fort or something to level up and in general destroying more structures will give us more XP in-game which will level us up in-game and should result in higher XP out of game.
But he's #10 in TL where it counts!

Woah Team Liquid just lost Vortix and Lucifron, just when they got back on top.
The spanish armada is no more. Vortix is going back to SC2.
When pro gamers quit their job because of ranked mode...

Greymane doesn't seem to suffer quite as bad as Lunara did re: being balanced too safely, but I haven't played him myself yet so I can't form a real opinion.
My buddy bought him and enjoys him, but we concurred that he really needs to be careful and wait for that right moment to clean up damaged enemies in team fights.I think right now, too many people are too eager to get into extended melee.
In the meantime, I finally started playing Morales after buying her dirt cheap in the Black Friday sale, and she may be my favorite support, even if Tyrande is the superstar right now. I kind of love how "pure" she is in regards to being high in utility, and pushing enemies around with the grenades feels good.

Got Lunara to 10. Jesus.
I don't know what they're going to do to Lunara to improve her when they inevitably patch her but the one change I hope they add is allowing her right-click attack to not be overridden/cancelled by her movement animation. Basically to allow her to attack while she's in appropriate range whether she's stationary or moving. Then her baseline movement speed would be an actual advantage.
