Who is the best glass cannon in the game?

General Discussion
21

Hanzo would most likely be it since jaina finally got nerfed.

22

For reference, lowest HP according to psionic storm:

  1. Abathur
  2. Murky
  3. TLV minus Olaf
  4. D.Va Pilot
  5. Fenix (I think w/o shields?)
  6. Li-Ming
  7. Probius
  8. Valla
  9. Tracer
  10. Tassadar

Then another like 10 characters until KTZ, who by the way is about 10 HP less than Raynor and about 500 above untalented Li-Ming at level 20. Food for thought…

I think this means Li-Ming is the most fragile of the glass cannons, as all the other characters lower than her need an asterisk or aren’t high damage.

Now we just need a damage list :thinking:

whitemane

but no one builds that way. <.<. >.>

24

Try this then.
Oh, and don’t miss her Q.

25

with oitc + rewind her max burst is around 6k at 20, assuming they just sit there and eat her damage

Orphea can burst the entire team for like 12k at 20

26

wait, tracer has higher hp than valla??

i mean, i guess valla tends to position more safely, but wow

Using Rehgar as comparion than switching to an aoe mage when proved wrong.
Just 6k+ burst without Heroic on a long ranged Hero… poor Nova… Can’t kill Heroes with more than 6k hp especially if she misses :confused:

Nova is not the best example for a glass canon but she still is.

28

(not responding to kara just some numbers i checked)

Valeera’s maximum burst with Q + ambush build is around 3k. With Q + garrote build it maxes out at about 3.5k. With full garrote build, about 2.6k

Zeratul’s max burst with might of nerazim at 10 and 20 is around 6.5k

Kelthuzad can burst two targets for around 14k total with accelerated decay and the damned return

chromie bursts for around 4k with dragons eye + q talent at 1 + full spell power bonus from shifting sands.

Ming can burst for around 5k with tal rashas, mirrorball, calamity, disintergrate, and power hungry. Extra 0.4k if you pick cannoneer.

Best glass cannon in the game:
Murky :slight_smile:

According to Hotslogs, Mephisto has the highest average damage output followed by Orphea. (In the last 7 days, HL, Diamond+)

I was going to suggest Gul’dan, though. He is self-sufficient and can pump out a ton of damage. You can extrapolate that by giving him a dedicated Healer.

31

Both of them are too “tanky” for the Glass Canon title. But they have the dmg indeed.

32

Right, probably Chromie then. lol

33

I’d say her as well, but she has Time Trap, both her Heroics can be used defensively and she has a full talent tier with get out of jail free cards, so I dunno o.o

Her range alone makes it difficult to take her out of the fight. She does have one of the lowest health pools in the game, but she’s a slippery little gnome. I’d still consider her one, even if she’s not nearly as bursty as she once was.

35

KTZ of corse. That symbols…

Mostly Jaina, Li Ming, Kael’Thas, Chromie

39

I thought about Chromie already so let’s talk about the other two.
Jaina: has perma slow, pyshichal armor, shields, root, teleport.
Kael: has (multi-)stun, megashield, slow.

I see why you’d say that, but I disagree. I never felt that squishy with them nor helpless (and tbh, their dmg isn’t the highest especially considering dps as well).

obviously best glass cannon in the game is

MURKY
