Leorics talents are interesting. Lots of sustain options. Should be pretty hard to kill later in the game.

So the abilities with no mana cost listed are the wraith abilities when you are dead, right? Definitely seems like an awesome warrior!

 

[Pooya]

TLV are terrible on the new map, those aoe stuns are hard to dodge with them, you get rekt on that map. Not much use in lane soaking there. Any other specialist is better here.

 

[Kioshen]

Nothing, but he's competitively viable now so all hope is lost.

No skill bracket is safe from Techies anymore.

Ah so business as usual in dota land got it.

 

[jaundicejuice]

Should give it to Raynor then.

lol, truth bomb.

 

[Rizific]

so my game has become pretty much unplayable after i downloaded the patch. massive stuttering. before patch was maxed out at 100+ fps. google says many others are having this problem. anyone here able to resolve this?

 

[Ketch]

Playing butcher just makes me miss thrall.

 

[kirblar]

Every bad tyrael: Oom in under 1:20

 

[Ketch]

also, I haven't played her, but the brightwings i've been matched with have had significantly less healing then before. like tyrande levels.

 

[Alur]

Best post NA.

 

[questionmark]

Had 3 times as much healing as Tyrande than the opposing Brightwing had in one game. I'm afraid to play her. She was possibly my favorite character before the patch. In ohter news, I decided to buy Abathur since it seems like he'll never be on the free weekly rotation. He's a lot of fun. Won't regret that purchase.

 

[patchday]

I need to try out Abathur sometime. Atm I have no idea what he does. He always looks AFK too me. But I know he places a buff on teammates and can eventually spawn some OP monster

You put a hat on your teammates and play as the hat.

 

[Quesa]

I love the butcher

Right now he is just a Buff bot or you can be brave and go locust build to push lanes on your own (screw teamwork)

 

[jaundicejuice]

The biggest problem with Battlefield is there's basically two objectives and people don't know what to do yet, gank the other team attacking your immortal or ignore the other team and attack their immortal. Usually it's split up and try to do both at once, succeeding at neither.

 

[Complistic]

johanna is crazy levels of fun with a team that actually backs you up. There was another one on the other team and I've never had back and forth battles across the map like that before. So fun.

 

[Turdburger]

BW healing spikes ridiculously at level 20 apparently

Overall BW has slightly more utility especially on big maps and has some insane healing at level 20 but is generally worse at everything else.

Which is good because BW was by far the strongest support last patch

 

[Wok]

then blizz can suck a fat one

i will split push until my teammates rage at me

Wolves need no armor.

 

[Rhaknar]

Not buying a hero at launch

It is really frustrating when your team does not communicate and gets split up so easily during this part. I have had 2/3 teams fail to grasp at this concept. In fact all 3 teams failed at it, but somehow 1 team were able to win with pure luck. The map is great, but with QM it is a son of a bitch dealing with people who don't want to work together.

 

[zoukka]

wow RIP bw

I've done the map 5 times already in solo queue, and have yet to kill a single enemy immortal because everyone splits up and gets killed, then the other team just gets to stomp ours while we're all dead. I do like the map a good bit, so hopefully people get better at it eventually.

 

[Twookie]

so I've been hit by sickness so I haven't been playing for a LOOOOONG time

how's butcher?


also "fresh meat urgh urgh fresh meat" x9999

 

[Sölf]

I have 10k gold. No idea if I should buy Brightwing, wait for Butcher to drop to 10 or buy Leoric when he gets released. D:

Brightwing seems shit now imo. I was about to buy the monkey skin until I tried bw post patch.

 

[patchday]

I cannot fathom why would Blizz nerf the mess out of Brightwing then put her up for sale. never change Blizzard!

 

[The1Ski]

My sweet Brightwing...

No tears, only dreams now.

 

[Chaos17]

Abathur+Butcher should be banned xD
So OP, so good.

Holy shit lol.

 

[Pooya]

Blizzard strategy with this game is very clear. Introduce new OP hero, get all that money, nerf in the next patch as you introduce the next OP hero with it. repeat.

 

[Yoshichan]

I just went to a wifi location and saw an email from blizzard

Suspension for 7 days

Hahahh thank god this vacation is 14 days

Try harder next time blizz

 

[RumblingRosco]

Lol what? Why suspended?

 

[danielcw]

Sounds like Abathur and TLV are gods on the map right now.

I've played it 4 or 5 times now I think and Abathur was in 3 of them. Abathur team won all three so yeah. Just a lot of time wasting going on. And feeding.

What makes Abathur good on the map?


p.s.: thanks for the info about ORD1 problems, Alur.

[-Digits-]

A bit of the ol' Yoshichan rage, eh?

 

[Yoshichan]

Standard :lol

Butcher is not even close to OP. Kael might have been slightly too strong on release but that was quickly fixed.

 

[Moobabe]

Nova is a bullshit hero and Blizzard should feel bad.

 

[kirblar]

Abathur gets to soak a lane while he symbiotes a hero like Sonya/Illidan/Butcher in the middle.

 

[Savitar]

Rage of the Yoshi, not to be trifled with.

 

[Llyranor]

Do people find Sonya that bad? She's actually one of my favorite warriors, one of the more fun ones to play. I don't generally like the class too much

 

[Dice]

not a bad look.

lol noobs

remember when brightwing could heal like this?

 

[Yoshichan]

Rage of the Yoshi, not to be trifled with.

im dying

 

[Dice]

Nova is a bullshit hero and Blizzard should feel bad.

Yeah, she needs at least a touch of waveclear. One-trick ponies aren't very cool.

 

[Ketch]

She gets wave clear at 10

 

[Dice]

She gets wave clear at 10

Using your heroic for waveclear is only cool if you have like at least a 2 stack plus mercs you're dropping it on. I mean she's basically useless for anything but finishing kills. That translates into a ton of wasted time unless you want to leave yourself revealed to spend 4x longer trying to accomplish a task than anyone else would do it.

 

[Haly]

Penetrating Snipe is waveclear.

 

[Ketch]

don't be ridiculous haly. for fucks sake

 

[Dice]

I mean if she just had something like an activated talent where every 30 seconds she can place a proximity mine that blows up 1 second after being triggered, that would be cool. It'd be something she can do without losing her cloak, yet it would show she's probably in the area. It could be used for better effectiveness vs waves and mercs but not make her a character that could just clean them up all the time, and you could make it so structures don't activate it. With the delay after trigger, it'd be hard to land on heroes that have good awareness, and you'd be picking it at the sacrifice of some other talent. Seems fair.
