Support NeoGAF

[brian!]

Well that and he just does everything else so well. He has a spammable W that can wave clear, do poke dmg, and snipe fleeing heroes. He's got an aoe snare for CC, oh and he's the only hero in the game that can restore mana for allies.

To top that off, he still gets all the other goodies like cleanse, shrink ray, scout drones, bolt of the storm and iceblock. No other healer in the game has even half the utility that malf does.

Where every other healer has their drawbacks. Malf has none cause his utility and options are just so insane.

edit: And I just got the Brightwing announcer from a Brightwing box, feels good man.

Yeah well put, it's the buff to twilight and his e being usable in a non-followup situation that do it in my book.

But yeah right now i think every single healer is strong and on top of "why take a melee assassin ill just take another warrior" it's "why take a ranged assassin ill just take another support"

 

[accx]

nvm :3

Malf's got a drawback, his Heals over Time are bad at dealing with burst damage. Brightwing has the same issue. When you've got enemy heroes that can just delete 1K of health in a second, those HoTs aren't so great versus the more standard burst healers that can just instantly replenish a heroes health.

The Brightwing announcer comments when you die are hilarious.

he can pre HoT in anticipation of fights and teams are relying on CC to set up these blowups which malf stops with cleanse.

They need to take fucking cleanse off malf already.

Burst/pickoffs is supposed to be his weakness.


And take iceblock too.

I'd be ok with this!

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Definitely a consideration they reworked brightwing years ago because the most popular build was all generics and Malf is right up there with Scouting Drone, Iceblock, Cleanse and Bolt.

 

[Alpha Centauri]

I'd be ok with this!

Make his iceblock into barkskin. make it increase his armor to 50 or 75% for 3 secs or something.

 

[IceMarker]

How incompetent do you have to be to lose an Elite vs AI game? SMH -_-

Why does this thread have such a hard on for Malf all of a sudden when his win rate is under 50%? You're all like half a year too late.

Because he's near-100% pick/ban in pro play.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

all of a sudden? Nerfs were being called for when he was still receiving buffs.

Member wn they gave innervate cdr for no reason?

if there's room. i can play too. EyeSocketPie#1617

 

[Dead Prince]

rerolled a common loot box (from hero leveling up) twice. got the hero Sgt. Hammer, and rare Chen skin. nice.

 

[IceMarker]

Quick Match is still. so. shit. Yet, fuck drafting modes.

Hmm...

idk. qm seems fine. i'm still winning.

 

[Neverfade]

Is there any rhyme or reason to the different gold costs of heroes? Does it ever change up?

 

[Zackat]

Is there any rhyme or reason to the different gold costs of heroes? Does it ever change up?

they go down. but basically it is a weird function of how long they have been out to how difficult they are to play. like The Lost Vikings and Abathur will be 10k gold forever. Jaina and Johanna have dropped in price over time and they are easier to play.

newly released heroes cost 15k for 2(?) weeks then drops to 10. I dunno how often they reduce hero gold prices.

 

[IceMarker]

I beg to differ with the morons I still get paired with. I take months long breaks for a reason.

 

[Kioshen]

How do I set a hotkey for voice chat?

It's in the blizzard app settings pane.

 

[Dreavus]

Just had a Valeera pick on Braxis in ranked. The map's too small for that man! Our damage suffered insanely and it was just a big ol' stomp.

When do you pick a hero like that? Bigger maps where you roam around right? Still trying to learn drafting in this game.

 

[psyfi]

Wait, you can see what map you're gonna play on before you pick your hero? How? Is it ranked only?

 

[Dead Prince]

yeah. qm you just pick hero then get the map. lol. who need strat beforehand

 

[Apathy]

I'm new, i know i suck, but holy fuck do i hate everyone that is playing for the fucking skin and just that.

just had match that went pass level 20, with a lucio that healed for 30k. 30 fucking k. I can do that in a 10 minute ai match.

Edit: see, the next lucio i got, 55k and we got to level 16 and we were trouncing the other team solo no big team fights

 

[ScottSullivan]

I am playing for the skin, but I have played before and I like the game, anyone down INvite me! Sully907#1429

 

[Dead Prince]

aw. i got d/c because power went out. joined the game. to finish off the match. and didn't realized it kicked me from the group as well. figured rejoining would leave me in the party. i guess it doesn't :/ hopefully my friend got the credit for the nexus challenge.

Sometimes it's hard with the team you get.

My games today have mostly been pretty bad and it's just from bad play. A couple of tanks that think tanking means you just dive in, random stealth hero pickups in draft that do nothing for the team, people giving up really early for no real reason.

The most recent one we had was still a loss but at least it was a good match.

 

[Josh5890]

I play one game with Kirblar and we demolish the enemy. I need to play this with Gaf more often.

Oh that was you? You had it on VS Elite AI! lol

 

[Josh5890]

Oh that was you? You had it on VS Elite AI! lol

Wow really? I'm still figuring out this game. Doh

 

[kirblar]

Wow really? I'm still figuring out this game. Doh

Oh, were you the third person that joined up?

I was thinking "oh sure an AI game for my win 3 quest? sure!" then saw it was elite once we got in.

 

[Josh5890]

Oh, were you the third person that joined up?

Yea. Josh5890

 

[kirblar]

Yea. Josh5890

Ah, that explains it. Yeah, bots are easy, unless they're grouped and just turn and AA you if you get close lol

 

[greendomo's ghost]

Anyone looking to do the challenge add me: Greendomo#1499

I promise to try my best!

 

[Karsticles]

Went 5-2 tonight and learned that I suck at playing anything other than tanks. I just dive too hard.

 

[kirblar]

Bakery also thinks Malf is still overtuned.

 

[Apathy]

Ok i am about to break with all these shitty shitty OW people that are doing this just for the skin. they are ruining the games. Like either make this shit be completed against the AI again or make it so anyone under 100 can just be paired with each other, hell make it like under 50, lord knows most OW players aren't getting passes that

 

[Fancolors]

Is it just me or Li Li + any other support is stupidly strong? Feels like this plus any tank like Varian or Muradin could just walk over any team.
