    Butcher is a sponge and has a large self heal build into his kit. He's never going to reach the point of him being able to soak enough damage to make block worth it. Since without the brand he won't survive any burst on his own anyway.

    You ever see a Raynor with that + Stim Drone? You can't even disengage before he blows up your team because he just runs everyone down without breaking a sweat.
    They had sonya and illidan, not mention a nova. There's a much better talent to help in that tier.

    I have now played 420 games of HL. I guess you could say I'm blazing through it.

    I'll show myself out.

    Perhaps this is a 10% instance? I saw the map was Shrines (which isn't a bad map for Victuals because you can duck in and out), but if they had an AA heavy team, I'd have taken Block. Of course, if it's a derpy Quick Match comp with no healers, then that changes things.

    Raynor doesn't give a shit about Nova, he takes Give Me More at 1 then she's no longer a threat unless his passive is already down.

    Vs Sonya and Illidan I would still take Revolution Overdrive - Sonya only has one engage with Q (if she takes Leap then who cares, she'll do mediocre damage) and moving at super speed helps immensely in dodging it. If you get hit, you won't be able to kite her after pushing her off with Q once she takes No Escape unless you have movespeed of your own.

    Illidan has no burst to negate with Fight Or Flight, and again the best option is to kite him after he Q's and you push him off.

    The worst ones for Raynor are Butcher/Thrall who rely on heeeeeavy burst damage during a lockdown, Leoric who can E in, slow and Entomb Raynor, things like that. Shit where you can't kite your way out of it and Fight Or Flight is needed.

    I've noticed AA heroes are really strong right now. On leoric I usually go with reanimation for health globes. But if they have a Raynor, Illidan or Hammer (god forbid all 3) I pick up block. And as Butcher? I would probably as well since those types of heroes will be aiming for you as soon as you charge.

    Towers of Doom..a Cursed Hollow-esque map. Do some laning, but early team fights..and every team i get has no clue how to do these maps. Either half the teams dead when the towers spawn, or they all focus the first person they see. The tank. And get obliterated by the enemy assassins because they never leave the tank. Even if the assassins are standing right next to them. So it results in the enemy being 2-3 levels ahead of us by the second tower spawn, and it snowballs from there.
    If what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Then I should be a god by now.

    Idiots over on reddit arguing with me that auto-select isn't random. Leaving that sub for a bit. Can't handle the stupid.

    Uhm, they are right. Auto-select tries to fill in a role that would be beneficial for your group, and only includes the heroes you own and the free rotation heroes.

    That Thrall game where you land 1 of every 10 Feral Spirits, but win the game because Sundering.

    Aaaaaand bans can't come soon enough. Getting "skilled" to death by Muradin and Tyrande just piling stuns on you gets old fast.

    I prefer Sonya with Muradin. Tyrande is an awesome hero, I just can't play her at all. -.-

    Lost a game with an awesome setup because Muradin went full Haymaker. Never go full Haymaker. -.-

    the worst thing about Aba is that they took the most op part of teemo, and made it even more op.

    Team first-picked Cho'gall. Friend and I said fuck it and proceeded to go Gazlowe and Nova for maximum fucked up-ness. The result was quite unexpected.

    Without healer? That's pretty impressive. What was the map?

    I wasn't in this game, but I thought I'd share it nonetheless.

    This is way before the Vulture smurfathon too.

    That is crazy... And sad at the same time. Not sure if it's because enemy team is a premade too but that sucks.


    Meanwhile, in QM today. Sgt Hammers that complain and then refuse to teamfight, making the game a 4v5.



    Still a win on Tomb of the Spider Queen.

    I just realized that a solid quarter of my HL wins are with Johanna.

    - - - Updated - - -



    Tiril, Muis, and I queued up for QM and it gave us that. Please ignore my damage, I failed at a new build I'm trying.

    Oh, and both their stealth went GP builds. Didn't work out so much.

    I like Nova because all I have to do on her is kill people. And I'm very good at it. This game was rather difficult at the start until I told Abathur to capture the dam shrines. My one death was because I had to take the dragon knight. I almost did escape(while also killing malf when he started his ult) but no one stopped Valla from chasing after me. She ran through 3 of my team mates. On the bright side though, I took her out with me. also, sorry Nerraw idk how to make the image smaller.
