First time no DW in the patch notes.
So are both forms fine? He has the right talents?
Still strong pick in ranked?

Other than his worldbreaker form and pretty bad talent variety, yes
I think he’s still strong you just don’t want to fp him anymore. Can hold his own against 1 hard counter but much more and he gets melted.

I’ve said it before but not a lot of people agree with me. Deathwing is one of those heroes that suffers from so many heroes having access to reducing armor and HP damage. I’d really like to see his HP nerf reverted - buff some weak talents, and possibly give him more ways to regain armor.
As of right now, he’s good at crushing people who don’t counter him. Once you do counter him, there’s not a ton he can do - playing him, you are a master of your own fate - your allies cannot protect you as you would any other hero. All you can do is swap to a frankly undertuned World Breaker form and try to help your allies.
In short, the list of changes I’d love for him -
- Revert his HP nerf.
- Bring weak talents back in line.
- Give him access to more talents to bring his armor back up.
- Please, don’t call the 2 second fear time on his ult a bug. The 1.5 second part was the bug, for a 1 second channel into a 1.5 second fear - this is an awful ability. Please buff this.

Hovering around average and he’s not in the top 6 bans anymore. Johanna, ETC, KT, rexxar (if braxis), abathur (if high elo), Xul, rehgar, raynor… the list goes on but Deathwing is A-B tier now. Good, but not OP to where he makes people rage

Ive been in matches where he wasnt banned or picked at all. Think he is a strong suprise pick but in general you can better avoid him
He gets hard countered too easily because too many heroes have % damage which forces him to use WB and WB kinda sucks.
He had that before. Nothing major changes only towers tass cass and tracer.
But then he was considered OP. So I guess he is UP right now
