    Heroes that you struggle to play

    Hi,

    I'm just curious - we all have our favourite heroes and favourite roles. Conversely we've probably all got heroes that we just can't get on with, so who is/are yours?

    For me I prefer playing Support > Specialist > Tank > Assassin in that order. However, the one hero I've tried so far that I really can't get on with is Chen. I don't know what it is about him, I just feel absolutely useless and squishy.

    Assassin > Nazeebo > Support > Warrior > Specialist but I suck with Zeratul. I can never get the range of his Slash right or always Prison the wrong thing.

    My Nazeebo, Illidan, Stiches, and Raynor are all under 40% win ratio. >.>

    I am not that great as an assassin, also my Sgt Hammer is pretty ordinary. I don't feel like I get the most out of Arthas either.

    Pretty crummy at Tyrande too, at least I'm not so great at getting ninja owl kills :P

    It's kind of weird, but I feel like I play ETC well but never end up doing well has him if that makes sense. Unless I'm in skype with my teammates I swear I'm never on the same page as my teammates and that makes ETC pretty useless since he is completely dependent on his team to follow through on what he does, even in ranked. Like we are fighting a losing battle and try to escape and I have 70% life left so I come back to peel for our escape knowing full well I am fine and people will turn around and try to re-engage and get slaughtered, then complain about me going in at a bad time. Or going in and landing a 4 person Mosh Pit and having my teammates back off at the same time. It makes playing him annoying.

    Also Arthas, I feel completely useless when playing him even though I play him well (at least I think), but I think hes just a fairly useless hero in general. Other than that I don't really play anyone bad (haven't tried TLV though).

    but when a warrior does it, clearly the ability's name is "useless wet noodle piece of shit strike with an exorbitant rage cost that should do the same damage as MS"

    Winless on Kerrigan. Touched her one game after I had gotten her to 5 with similarly bad results and have vowed to never touch her again.

    No one else sticks out. Nova and Abathur I guess, not a fan of their playstyles.

    I only ever play ETC with my team. Never solo. I need to know on the fly if my Zeebo has his ult up when we're posturing and poking at the start of teamfights before I decide to go for a fat Mosh Pit or hold onto it to peel.

    That 120sec CD is killer.

    I struggle with murky, perhaps for obvious reasons :P He is put on shelf until that promised incoming love is in fact incoming.
    Otherwise I mostly play support, but Im not too keen on Reghar and Uther but I will play them since I guess team league will have banning possibilities so I have to play them all. If support gets picked I usually play assasin, hoping for valla to be available because how little it takes to get good rewards with her, but I usually end up with tychus or jaina :P I don't like meleeing very much, only tank I've had somewhat fun playing is ETC so I will probably buy him. None of the melee assasins are interesting to me. Murky however is fun melee but got some range too with fish throwing and he is just cool overall, one must admit. Except for him I think my biggest struggle is just melee, but I guess I will have to for Uther and Reghar but it's ok if our team wins =)

    I'm meh with zag. I am quite poor with thrall (but this is being I have played him for two games). I am OK with ab, but OK at best. Otherwise, all the heroes I play I consider myself at least good, if not really good.

    This right here is the reason I don't use random hero..
    I don't want to get a hero I don't like/suck at.

    Ot: Malfurion and Illidan, probably others.
    I LOVE Illidan, but I'm so terrible at him.

    You really have to understand his play style to be good with him. You also really have to perfectly time CDs so you aren't hit like a wet paper towel. After seeing someone wreck with the right illidan build, I realized how he was supposed to be played, and dam is he good. The only issue is you NEED a decent tank and healer for him to thrive. He can solo, but not till late game, otherwise you kind of poke for the time being.

    Muradin. For some reason I do not like him at all.

    Try Jaina. Melee solo pub is a cakewalk against her.

    I really struggle with tank roles in MOBAs. I hate relying on my team so much for everything. I'm much more at home doing damage or even supporting.

    I can't seem to play Thrall well. When I am up against him I get 2-3 shotted late game and when I play him I can't even 2 shot a creep

    I generally do far better with range than melee, I'm pretty bad at most tank roles but my absolute worst is melee assassin without stealth as a crutch.

    I'm absolutely hopeless with every warrior apart from Sonya with a slam build. I main Zagara normally and carry the mid lane in pugs. Also use tassadar when playing with friends aswell.
