Murky - I swear, nobody knows how to play Murky. People taking Slippery When Wet against a frontline-heavy team, people taking Egg Shell… in general. People taking Big Tuna Kahuna in general. It hurts me physically.
Azmodan - Just a really annoying combination of high health, long range, and high damage. Also, summons are obnoxious. He’s even worse in QM where you can’t guarantee having someone to abuse how fat he is.
Mal’ganis - Do I even need a reason? I don’t care if he’s technically balanced, I just hate his guts.
Varian: On my team he’ll take CS when he’s the only warrior and lose 1v1s against Morales and Deckard. On the enemy team he’ll take TB, solo bosses from level 4 onwards, and heal enough through lifesteal to outlast and win a 1v3. Or he’ll pick Taunt and be an impenetrable wall while we have a Sonya or D.va at best. Azmodan: The health of a tank? The damage potential of any burst assassin? One of the best, if not THE best lane control in game? Maybe if you’re lucky you’ll get 3 different heroes that all combined can do what Azmodan does for his team by himself. Genji: Aww, you’re playing anything but a warrior or Azmodan? Hope you didn’t plan on doing anything this game. Mal’Ganis: Not sure what to type here, usually I’m sleeping through every match I face him in. Sgt. Hammer: Either she’s useless and likes to sit there and watch herself die, or she’s an unstoppable goddess of fire who takes a fort by level 3 and can nuke you with her team if you even enter the same lane as her. There is no in-between. Any premade with Abathur: TB Varian+Pocket Aba? Illidan+Pocket Aba? Zul’jin+Pocket Aba? Butcher? And your team has no blinds.
I’ve been finding Valeera a pain. I keep getting teams with no main tanks or healers and she just picks them off 1 by 1. Also when shes paired with Aba she can be a pain.
+1 vote for Abathur hatting for Win Blades/Second Win Varian. It takes dedicated power. Even with stuns, blinds and all, a Warbringer TB Varian is just going to pick and kill whatever he wants with that Aba hat.
Zagara. She can be global, will push all your buildings over if you ignore her, is a pain to lane against, provides vision all over the map (since no one ever kills creep), and her Hunter Killer tears chunks out of people.
