Kerrigan in Starcraft is op and at the end of the saga she is a god. Why they kitten does she lose to zeratul or whatever garbage assassin in hots? Kerrigan in vanilla was the bee’s knees now she is the knees of NOTHING! Her ults are trash her neutral game is trash I mean cmon bring back the queen of blades! its not like you guys need to worry about balancing since hots tournaments has been thrown away.

The fact that ur getting 1v1’d by assassins is telling. Kerrigan sucks when u take trap talents. Do this;
Fury of the Swarm so that you get shields from every enemy near the enemy you hit – fight an enemy in their minion wave & ur getting ur ult passively. Sharpened Blades doubles your Q damage, makes you able to insta the entire enemy minion waves for free which gives you shields. Then you take Queen of Blades so you can have it up as often as possible.
Also you might be rotating her abilities wrong. People focus too much on doing the wombocombo & get stuck trying to play kerrigan like a tank, pulling people into the stun and then having nothing to do for 12 seconds while they wait for it to come off CD, being rendered entirely useless if the enemies dodge it. They never realize that she has a longer, much more damaging combo she can use to get picks by herself – you Q onto the enemy & start hitting them until they go to walk away then you E them back to you, Q on them once they get pulled and immediately cast your W at max range in the direction they’re trying to go then Q them again. The fact that you spend a lot longer doing the combo means you can spend more time beating on your target – kerrigan can definitely 1v1 enemy assassins like that, and since she isnt committing 100% of her CC on the opening shot it also makes her better at running down mobile enemies
edit: oh yeah & dont take painful spikes with this build, since the W comes at the end of the combo that talent gets no value, but assimilation blades at 20 does get extreme value since ur weaving AAs into the whole combo

Has nothing to do with Heroes of the Storm.
Kerrigan in the last 3 patches was played 746 times with a winrate of 62.33%… how successful should she be? 
- You literally ask for imbalance on purpose…
- Tho HGC is gone, HotS has Tournaments, CCL.
- Tourney or not, multiplayer games needs balance.

If they made her into the same god she is in SC would she just be the ruler of the Nexus? Would she even waste her time fighting anyone? lol
I do wonder why her winrate is consistently high these past few months. I consider her weak but I guess data is starting to solidify she needs a nerf somehow? She isn’t hypercarrying late game by any means more than a Mephisto, Nazeebo, or Zuljin/raynor/cassia marksman
This shoudnt impact balance
I mean, then why Arthas doesn’t oneshot most of the heroes with 1 AA?
In lore she beat many heores in this game but for balance purpose it wont happen.
She is a very strong combo hero due to access to stun and high late game burst damage. All it takes is someone like Blaze to enguage, then she can chain a stun off that on one or more enemy heroes and then burst them for 1.5k+ damage very quickly on top of whatever her allies combo from her stun.
Her main weakness is mobility. Which is why Zeratul is effective against her due to his high end mobility. Dodge her combos and you dodge most of her damage. Against high mobility teams without allies that can enable her she has little choice but to go ravage for reliability which is sub-optimal for DPS.

She’s absolutely terrifying to face at higher elo no matter which hero you’re on. I hate playing against her no matter the circumstances. If enemy picks her, it’s often an uphill battle if the player is good at her.
The longer the game goes on, the more her combos dictate teamfights and force cleanses instantly.
She doesn’t need nerfs, but her winrate is extremely high atm.
Depending on how much Assimilation Shields she has, you may not even be able to focus her as a counter, she is too tanky to be burst down fast.

Back in my day you needed 40 heroes to kill Arthas in Icecrown Citadel.
Now he gets solo’d by an albino loli with tentacles. Feels Bad Man.

The fact Kerrigan became something like God in the last part of SC2 is a joke for me.
I am glad HotS Kerrigan doesn’t act like God. And isn’t one.

Cause canon power doesn’t matter in a hero brawler?
Like, Kerrigan gets beaten by… D.Va, woooo
Just like Kirby, the LITERAL GOD OF DESTRUCTION is a bottom tier in Super Smash Brothers.
We are NOT going that hellhole again. So much effort to compare powers. Just say that they’re all amazing and awesome and have a considerable power level and WE GUD
