Yea I agree.
They could get a pretty good solution i think if they rebalanced auto attacks across the board.
There's just not enough auto attack damage in the game to counter spell armor.
Every mage aside from Jaina (IIRC) has a way to buff their AA's and the only questionable one is KTs.
I'm okay with their low aa damage. There's probably other ways to fix that problem without mages have strong autos. I feel like gulden is a good example of that. (Edit: Guldan can't buff autos either)
Im just constantly bummed that the heros like raynor, zuljin, and butcher get worse as time goes by. There's like a whole arch type that not only doesn't see play but somehow get no support but instead there's more reasons not to pick them added to the game all time.
Oh the mage thing is just that it makes them less fun to play
Like if im kael vs. jaina and my spells are on cd i want there to be a decent incentive for me to stay in her range, dodge her shit, and pepper her with autos. I outplay on a dmg dealer and get the reward, fun game. Instead i now have to back off every time because there is no incentive at all to move in and im just dead weight when my cds are down (i believe this is blizz's intent too).
But i mean im cool w/ sticking with more fun heroes, just wish mages were more like how they used to be
I brought it up kinda tangentially (iz this a real word), for the actual game i do feel like if zuljin or raynor got their spells changed to phys theyd see more play

Did anyone else see that...? Fenix?
On the HGC stream as they went to commercial, they just accidentally played a few seconds of a hero spotlight for Fenix!
Edit - Ah, nm, it was a SC2 thing. Didn't realize they do those spotlight things the same for the co-op commanders in SC2.

No cleanse.
Tetsuoooooooooo!
Yah i was thinking that too, kinda happy they didnt end up making him an infesty specialist and made him all about bionic arrrrrrrrrrr
Need numbers and a visual on stuff like his e but he sounds fun, kinda seems like his main mechanic is gonna be letting the dot go for a bit and then consuming w/ d at the end.

If you take the talents the healing is really really strong.

Ehhhhh forcing a 5v4 by pushing someone across the map and out of the fight sounds more powerful to me, but we will see. Push will be the highest pick rate first week for sure lol
One of the talents later on lets him heal himself, I think.
http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/heroes/stukov/#?skin=infested-admiral No whatever-those-arm-guys-from-WoW skin is odd, he has a pirate one instead.
He can cast it on himself to heal.
The big push is only strong if you get a good one and then you're locked in place during anyway. It probably depends in the CDs.
Big push seems like the pyro blast choice.
Oh you have to talent into it? He's def dbl support then...
All his stuff is skillshots too right? Unless he's overtuned he's likely to be lowish tier then
O just read ketch's post nm then
Also pyroblast is awesome 😔
Push can be good, but like ur saying it depends on how difficult it is to get a good one. Basically anub cocoon on a support

thats a first right?
Only chogall has it iirc

The shove ult is amazing. Also I kinda guessed he would be a support because his teaser tweet mentioned "rapid regeneration of limbs".
Still, I wanted at least some summons

stukov ults are gonna fill up reddit
but yeah he looks awesome, I think the push one is definitely usable but probably not the go to. finding a good angle in teamfights to get distance would be rough. perhaps it could be used to combo with a diablo or auriel stun? but the other ultimate would be great in general, imagine denying medivh portals.
still their cooldown timers will affect alot

wht do you mean? it doesnt say you dont get the burst, it just says the hot is renewed instead of going. Otherwise the talent is pointless?
