Rehgar
- Z’s attack does a LOT of damage (specially if talented) and can be used to finish people off but it will leave you vulnerable, use E to slow the enemy as you reposition!
Rehgar
Rexxar
I know this is a really bad tip because it’s literally in his trait description, but please use alt + D (self cast the trait).
That makes misha go back to Rexxar with more mov speed than just using D close to him.
I see many Rexxars not using this which results in Misha dead a lot.
Samuro
Remember to always play tricky. You ideally want to never let your opponet figure out where you’re going to use your Mirror Image to transport to, and frequently use your trait to swap images. Not only does this purge DoT/slows on you, but it creates a lot of confusion.
Taking Illusion Master ( why would you not? ) really gives you even more of an edge. You want to always have the enemy attacking your illusion, not you.
Sgt. Hammer
Some pve things outright ignore spider mines.
While siege is the staple for picking Hammer, some enemy teams make it too dangerous to remain in siege with either hover or graduating range to actually be useful. So, Pulse Core (@lvl 7) can be more useful than players think as that talent is a direct damage upgrade and increases the damage mines deal to mercs or structures allowing hammer to build around opportunistic poke instead of just sustained ranged damage.
Sonya
Fury doesnt decay out of combat. Instead of blowing through every last bit of fury when clearing a camp or lane, try to save some for your next fight. That way you can still whirlwind even if you miss your spear.
Whirlwind does only slightly higher single target damage than plain auto attacking. Because of that, use auto attacks with Seismic Slam in a 1v1 unless theres minions/mercs around that give you extra healing from Whirlwind.
Here’s what next 15 heroes in order after Sonya:
Come on we are getting closer!
Stitches
I know this might be really simple, but pick Bile 99% of the time. Gorge is only really effective if you have ways to quick gorge > blow up someone.
I can’t tell how many games I lost because our Stitches had Gorge. Bile let’s you be in there, in the frontline, tanking and slowing everyone + peeling for your team.
Stukov
If you facing a AA heavy team, pick at 4 biotic armor and at 16 universal carrier.
You basicly do give a pernament 15/35 Physical Armor protection during late game teamfights.
He’s Stukov
Sylvanas
Very efficient against teams, due to quest if stacked up to 75%, and de-buffs enemy Heroes by reducing their Armor, very good at late game if your team can follow up your Armor reduction.
If you go solo lane, go to enemy gates before waves coming, use your D to see enemy wave, place your W to hit: Gates, Tower, minions and Wall (this is not necessary). Use it when first minion will be on radius of W to get max hits for one W. Very good when you took W quest.
Next - wait when enemy wave will meet your wave, then put your W to hit all 7 minions to get max hits and deal max dmg on them, W deals instant dmg after using, so you can reveal stealth heroes like Valeera, Samuro, Nova, Zeratul…
Try to put your W to deal max dmg before enemy will leave it, W good on maps, like Braxis, Volskaya, because enemy heroes will stay there and you can deal free dmg on them.
2 W are enough for one wave. Tassadar can double soak.
Use your W 24/7. CD is 8 seconds.
The Butcher
Quick match.
The Lost Vikings
Draft only on big 3 lane maps!
Erik has the best poke and mobility
Baleog has the best wave clear
Olaf has the best utility
Note: Olaf will charge to enemies when you target them to auto-attack! But it has a hidden cooldown. He also passively regens health out of combat like Muradin.
Put Baleog in the solo lane, and Olaf with your team! Remember to hide your vikings in bushes in lane. You don’t have to constantly be pushing as TLV, as long as you are hiding a viking in a lane, you are soaking XP.
Please don’t pick the ship heroic
Although I love this. Give a real one!
Da Buucher
- Avoid Fighting at early meat levels.
- Become AA god at late meat levels.
Real Butcher tip
Your Q reset your AA. If you press Q right after you AA, you will AA again very fast.
This is like super obvious though. It even says right in the ability. Kind of like saying “Hanzo’s W splits into multiple shards when it hits terrain. Use it to hit Heroes for lots of damage when they pass near a wall.”
And yet I never see a Butcher doing that.
Thrall
When using Windfury, weave in your Qs and W inbetween AAs to get the max value out of Follow Through
Example:
W(if you need it to root them before engaging)->AA->E->AA->Q->AA->Q->AA
Alternatively, Ancestral Wrath is a great tool for survivability. Don’t always stick it on your main target if they’re squishy, the added HoT from AW when it’s on a beefy target is a tremendous boost to your sustain.
