Name Two Talents you hate seeing people pick together

Name two (or more) talents that you hate seeing people pick together.

Example, on Imperius when I see someone pick Valorous Pursuit + Brand of Solarian, and I know they’re going to waltz around wondering why VP is never up when they need it.

I just had to tank in QM for a full Orb Build Li-Ming who took Power Hungry. I think that counts as two talents…when she managed to land a few orbs she was out of mana.

Two talents (or more), so if you hate a whole talent spec have at it!

Ring of Frost with Cold Snap.

In fact Cold Snap is such a stupid, outdated and useless storm talent that it sometimes hits people because of that. Absolutely nobody expects it.

And because of that, it can be good because it is so bad.
I learned my lesson after one or two fails, now I never expect anything; I make sure by looking up enemy talents in the talent tab. People make the weirdest choices sometimes.

(For people without name memory, Cold Snap makes a tiny rooting explosion in the center of RoF 5 seconds later)

Guess she did not take triumverte talent that gives mana back on orb hits.

kt mana addict
(and if they pick nether wind on top of it, omega gj :joy:)

Wut?
Mana Addict is the meta pick, not Convection… Nether Wind also doesn’t anti synergize with MA…

I think its mostly taken for the CDR rather than that effect.

Yes, but how many times are you going to hit more than 1 person with the center? Or even 1?

The center area of Ring of Frost deals 310 (+4% per level) damage.
Each enemy Hero hit reduces its cooldown by 10 seconds.

People have to be drunk or really new to the game to walk back to the center multiple seconds after evading the outer ring.

Well when used right, chances are they’ll run to the center and with blizzard and cone messing them up in the center, it will get them. Especially when ring of frost is more devestating when used as a follow up to a wombo

Taking Locust brood with Spatial Efficiency OR Soma Transference.

People who pick 2 of Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Arcanite Axes, and Lacerate, but not all 3 just make me sigh. These talents synergize so well with each other, leaving out one of them is just stupid and you’ll miss out on the value.

Once you reach 150 stacks of YWA? and get the second revolution, you can consistently land 2 hits of WP,WT on enemies due to the slow, giving you 10 additional stacks of YWA? (+2 AA damage) and 4 stacks of Arc’ Axes (+3 TC damage). It takes practice, but if you can make it work you can reliably almost double your quest scaling rate after level 16.

Also, if you pick Ferocity and then pick Guillotine for your ult, you’re an idiot. Get out of my game.

Another one, picking any talent besides Loud Speakers on ETC instantly makes you the weakest link in our team short of someone else outright feeding or afking.
Pick Loud Speakers.

As a zuljin main i couldn’t agree more, I also really really hate zuljin players who never turns Beserker off and always use Amani rage at the beginning of teamfights. Then they literally kills themselves and be like where my heals at???
Like seriously xD

No no you dont need the center hit for CDR, IIRC the actual ring is the one that affects the CDR.

If you take Odin it actually becomes a 300 IQ play.

As for me personally? The idiots who go Overpower into Twin Blades.

Diablo taking life leech AA build into lili. JUST. NO. Why would you hand your enemy the ability to deny your self sustain?
