I unlocked and played a bunch of games with Whitemane. She seems useless if playing against competent players. She’s a healer that requires you to get close and attack enemies heroes in order to heal. Any competent team will just nuke her when she gets close. It’s a huge bummer because the play style seemed unique and cool, it just does not work at all unless you are playing against new players.
She has a very specific niche, where she is required to attack players to heal effectively yet can’t even do that well without popping like a balloon.
Each encounter I would think to myself, huh, that probably would have gone ALOT easier/better if I was just playing some other random class that can deal more damage. So I’ve come to the conclusion she’s worthless when compared to other team choices.
Until you play against Diablo or that undead thing. They just grab you and pull you to the back line. Again, it just depends on if you are playing against competent players.
Lol is this a troll thread? I had 130k healing inn a game with whitemane just today. Pity the frail into Q build, into the e talent at 16 and nobody will ever die.
clemency + high inquisitor + q talents allows whitemane to spam q for mass/aoe & self heals while allowing w to target an ally hero to sustain her mana and remove most of the ‘need’ for her to get close to attack enemies.
On the other hand, some talent builds allow whitemane to generate so much healing, she can tank some of the backlash she gets for getting close to deal damage - so long as she’s not hit by -heal or -spell power debuffs anyway.
Could also try hitting up some masterleague replays to see how/when/why teams pick whitemane and win with her
You should say “i am new with WM and am useless with her because i am still learning”.More humble, most likely closer to the truth, and nothing wrong with it.
She is the most anti-dive healer for an entire team. She can seemingly stop all burst on 2-3 heroes at a time. If she isn’t interrupted, it’s nuts how much some completely eclipses post-rewo----nerfed-Morales.
I don’t like Whitemane for one reason and one reason alone (very same reason disliking Gul’Dan as well) and that is her MOST IMPACTFUL ABILITY makes her sit on her butt & channel (just BEGGING to get stunned right into face)
Would much rather have someone who can “run back and heal” at the same time
But then again I like Tyrande most of all heals = which is also weird cause she has about the same problem as Whitemane, just not as emphasized as hers, I mean Whitemane LITERALLY has to stand in place
With her ultimate sure. She can do that for 4 seconds every 75 seconds, if the enemy team happens to all be heroes that need to be up close to attack you and if the enemy team doesn’t immediately leave the area of effect (not competent). Sure, you can totally do that, provided all of those things are true.
Also, hi, I’m back after many years. Apologies for reviving, but I just think it’s strange how they seemingly nerfed her? The skill tree looks different from the last time I played.
There’s some weird build where she is supposed to use auto attacks? … Why? If you take the other talents you never even have time to auto attack. And taking the auto attack talents forces you to give up so much utility. Ugh. She feels terrible. I can still out heal people sometimes, but I think it’s only because the enemy healer is not very good. Or because my team is not doing very much damage to begin with, so me out healing a healer that doesn’t have anything to heal is not really an accomplishment.
I never meant this as a troll post, these were just my honest thoughts at the time. Perhaps I really was just butt with her, but now she feels just not fun to play. There’s an entire section of talents that you can’t touch all the way down the line (auto attack).
One thing I will note. It feels like you can actually run out of mana now, which makes it more interesting. But having a huge chunk of the talent tree be unusable, defeats any additional gameplay improvements that would have brought.
My thoughts on her general playstyle have changed a bit sense i wrote this but like 90% of it should still be good
But yeah, she lost alot of her training wheels. You can’t just trade all game like a crazy person anymore because of her new mana tension.
Something that might help is to play more defensively. Dont go pressing to many buttons until the enemy starts pressing buttons.
I’d also recommended trying the scarlet aegis ult in most of your games unless your sure people cant walk out of your other ult. Aegis also just makes her easier to play and makes her even more anti dive which is one of her greatest strengths now.
Also also, I wouldn’t mind coaching or going over replays if you want that kinda help to c:
Yep, gotta agree with this guy. He knew such a long time ago that some healers just aren’t worth picking. He wasn’t even talking about ARAM and it’s even more true there. Healers in general aren’t a necessary pick in ARAM and Whitemane is the worst one. Most of the time I picked a damage dealer instead of Whitemane (at the protest of my teammates) we’ve won especially when the enemy team had a Whitemane.
First of all, how dare you
second, you could have avoided my scorn if you left this thread dead. where it belongs.
that is one of her most high damaging build. her dueling capabilities sky rocket and she’s is able to 1v1 most assassins with no help you can even face tank a zul’dingo in ARAM no less
the 2 auto attacks can be thrown while lash is being cast meaning you can proc both the lash cool-down and the both saintly great staff charges, therefore no utility is lost afterwards you can still Q and W to your hearts content. and you want to pick the cleanse instead go for it works just as well
funnily enough this hero requires you to pay attention and react accordingly you cant go Q-ing everything like you’re a tyrannde in disguise. you see whom the enemy seems to want, zeal and protect. it is as simple as that with lashing out you can constantly dish out enough damage to keep them in the fight.
if you want to go inquisition build because “you’re not like other girls” without having a grasp on whitemane then you’re going to set yourself up for failure and inquisitions prayer has and always will be a flob talent designed to catch out the newbies.
now I’ve wasted enough time on you
in conclusion I’m not saying saying get better with her, I’m saying leave her alone let the good whitemanes play the character while you go play butcher, it should be up to your speed yes?
_
you’ve proven your ineptitude time after time. you disregard an entire class of hero because you’re no good at it while also flaming the same class while not even bothering to get better cus “healers are unnecessary gurls”
your fatal flaw, and how I know you’ve never touched whitemane let alone play her is the fact she is a damage dealer she quite literally heals through her damage. it’s her hero description her hero description for heaven sake
