Abathur, tlv, gazno, dva, Cassia, Simperius (less so these days because OFFFFFF —>), and Hogger.
And then you have slightly less cancer but still very strong Raynor, Mei, Tassadar, and I’m probably missing some here. I bet zeratool is in here somewhere.
Idk how abathur passed moba testing. Yuumi in LoL is already really stretching the limit on “uninteractivity”.
Hogger does way too much damage, way too mobile, and can tank way too much damage. If he was meant to be a hypercarry then that’s fine but his early game isn’t weak at all. And before you say “just dodge his hurricane spin, LUL no damage”… I say he does damage…
Gazno and dva need no explanation. Simperius is still up there but behind the holy trinity of Gazno, dva, and hogger.
I’d put Cassia at the top of the trinity, but yeah I agree that Cassia, Gaz, Dva, and Hogger need nerfs, hopefully in the coming patch. Though I won’t get my hopes too much considering Cassia has been a top tier for like 6 months.
Agree on the others but I find Imperius to be average at best. He is terrible at lining and cannot take a camp without losing all his HP and doing it for an eternity. His winrate is bellow 50%.
He can be strong in good hands but still is very team dependant.
I will say that if you can ride globes with press forward, he is oppressive to lane against top lane on Braxis. If the rest of my team has enough damage on that map for me to not need wave clear, I run him as the solo on that map quite a bit despite me thinking he isn’t very strong in the off-lane otherwise.
I agree that Gazlowe needs some slight adjustments downward, be it his sustain or level 20 Gravbomb upgrade.
Otherwise I don’t find many of the heroes listed by the OP to be opressive. In some drafts (and in skilled hands) almost any hero can shine and feel too strong.
*Also the title of the post is unnecessary. There are many words you can use to describe something bad, without using flippantly the C word. Having lost the person closest to me and others to cancer it hurts to see this on the front page.
gazlowe? very rarely played and even less often banned.
Maybe in an alternate universe which is still in 2016 where he was a joke hero, but in current patch his popularity is 81% and he’s banned in ~70% of all ranked games.
I can understand crying about Imperius, Gazlowe and Dva.
But Abathur, Hogger and…TLV???WHAT???
Little cat in Lol requires no skill and destroys any kind of “comeback” mechanics because she is cancer.
Abathur at least needs brain and you can still win against him.
Looks like i’m the only one who doesn’t have problems against Hogger and SOMEHOW easily counters him.
Abathur is way more uninteractive. You should never be able to kill his real body and in the end he’s going to get some value soaking safely. At least with Yuumi if you kill all her teammates she’s gonna die too
Comparing mechanics to mechanics, abathur is objectively more uninteractive. If abathur was in LoL he’d break the game completely. If Yuumi was in hots she wouldn’t break the game as I’m claiming she’s more interactive than abathur. As much as I hate saying this I’d rather face Yuumi than abathur and that’s saying something. Yes Yuumi can heal but overall abathur is just worse to face
Gazlo is still so strong that he can find success in many situations through brute force alone. Imperius has his weaknesses but I believe that Hogger has too strong of a wave clear considering how his abilities have no resource cost. Abathur is mostly a problem in quick matches where he is often paired against heroes that have difficulties keeping up with him both in the supporting activities and map presence.
