What's your favourite Specialist?

[Blithe]

My favourite specialist at the moment is Zagara. I feel that she's a very strong all around hero that can do just about everything very well. She can lane with her minions, jungle, grant vision via creep and also regenerate and move faster on it. She can stay in combat due to Rapid Incubation and she has the possibility of aiding team fights greatly with Devouring Maw. Her damage can also be pretty scary and strong enough to push someone out of a fight if played well.

So, what is your favourite hero? I realize that Sylvanas isn't out yet but you can base whether you like her or not over the hype or the gameplay you've already seen.

I like Azmodan's toolkit but I haven't actually played either him or Zagara in actual games. I tried to play them in the Try option in the shop but a one lane practice mode is pretty poor to determine how good a Specialist is.

Going to have to wait until they're on a free week or until I can buy them (not high enough level to play Azmodan this week).

I liked Abathur before they nerfed him, now I play Azmodan.

[Nikkaszal]

I am going to play the FUCK out of Sylvanas.

A Specialist with an over-the-wall escape baseline? YUSSSSSS

[PACOX]

Zagara ever since she was launched...and people still underestimate her.

[Aliessil]

For me it's a toss-up between Sgt Hammer and Azmodan. Voted Hammer since I don't actually own Azmo yet.

Nazeebo. The only specialist I play since Murky got nerfed.

[Gallahadd]

Nazeebo by far. Near Assassin levels of damage, insanely OP ult for team fighting, awesome sustain and he's fairly safe to play.

[Deleted]

Murky only specialist I own, he's cool but underpowered as underpowered can be.
And f2p upcoming week, can imagine the incoming nerdrage, which is good, the baby needs some love!

She's pretty underestimated.

I'm not sure what Specialist to get next... I've only got Zagara and Nazeebo (I HATE Nazeebo). Abathur looks fun but I feel I'll buy him and then regret that decision. Azmodan's play style feels very weird to me. Gazlowe's fun and he's got some pretty good builds but I feel I could spend my gold elsewhere for now. I'm not even going to bother with The Lost Vikings until I'm a lot better at the game. The same reason I'm iffy about Murky is the same reason I'm iffy about Abathur. Nazeebo as I said, I loathe in every way imaginable. Sgt. Hammer looks to be my top pick but whenever I 'Try' her I feel that something's missing; maybe I'm going the wrong build or...? Sylvanas looks promising, I may save for her but that could take awhile... and Zagara as I said is my favourite.

Maybe I'll just save for a Support hero. :/

Basically this.

Im not one for Specialists, and I do play Nazeebo when I have that daily, but Sylvanas will most likely be my go to ranged character if I need to play one.

Defo Azmodan. I like Murky a ton, but he's unfortunately just plain weak. Azmo though? So long as I stack the Q up properly by level 15-16 I have a 10-second CD precision strike, just with more damage, area and harder to dodge.

[Mithistormer]

Honestly like most of them except Abathur and Murky (though I haven't gotten to really try them since they haven' been free til now[Murky] and with Abathur's nerf blah. Sylvanas looks awesome as hell so I'm voting her even though I haven't tried her, Gazlowe is the funniest IMO (quote wise). If Sylvanas wasn't an option I'd prolly say Nazeebo.

[Lesane]

Love Sgt. Hammer, really strong atm, possibly OP, but was always quite fun. It's also one of those heroes where a bad player will just be a liability to your team while a good one can make a huge impact, and the same goes for how your team plays.

[Frozen Death Knight]

Definitely Zagara. Azmodan looks like fun as well, but I don't own him yet. I really like Abathur too, but you're a bit too reliant on other people at times.

[Deleted]

more people have been picking him now for some reason so it's a bit harder for me to enjoy him.

Free week.

[ldev]

Hammer. Just.. so relaxing while being overpowered. And nothing tingles my willy so much, as seeing enemy move away from my siege range line when I slowly come as death reincarnated with hovering siege talent.

Second most fun - Nazeebo. Not really sure how Nazeebo can top hero damage with such avoidable skills like frogs or zombie wall and mediocre Q... Oh wait, Ravenous Spirit. That's why I like him.

Third most fun - Murky. You pick last, your team picked Nova, Abathur, Tyrael, Sonya, while enemy picked Valla, Stitches, Uther, Zeratul? Yeah, MURKY TIEM! And then just enjoy chat drama with 'omg my team is crap', 'u all sux' and so on.

[Feali]

Nazeebo for now since he can basically be played as an Assassin. But it will probably be Sylvanas!

[apepi]

You can't pick Sylvanas if she is not even out yet.

[GodlyBob]

Zagara is my favorite. She is the most slippery thing in the game. Creep everywhere, helping with both movement in and out of team fights and that regen for sticking it out in a lane 1v2. Early rapid incubation to keep your mana up and nydus worm to be at every team fight or escape from every single bad turn. Top both siege and hero damage with almost no risk to yourself.

My second would be sgt hammer because she's a god damned siege tank.
