Why would I pick anything other than Seal Fate at level 16?

Hover your mouse over her and press E. Not that anyone but devoted mains would pick whitemane after that nerf.

Good luck shutting down a good twin blade varian without wound poison who knows how to properly use shield wall and wait out the blind.

if he’s waiting out the blind he’s not doing anything so your job is done. Congrats.
(PS: His self heal isn’t that strong)

… until he gets below 50% pops shield wall and goes back to 75% life.

Please hailfail. Just stop.

I never had a valeera player kill me without wound poisonn

Twin blades varian is meme tier anyways. Just annoying in quick match. It really does not stand a chance against a team that drafts proper CC.

The only heroes that should be even remotely judged on their damage throughput is sustained damage and even then it still only accounts for a small portion of what makes a good player.

What matters more is your ability to play as a strong opportunist maximizing your impact every second of the match.

What wins games is when a core dies, everything else should be pushing you toward that goal. Nothing else is a higher priority, especially not stat padding.

Sorry what? You dont play anything besides qm.

So please dont speak on draft. Twin blade varian is fine and the fact you think he isnt… bahahaha.

Guys! This guy thinks one of the best camps killer in the game who can solo every boss in the game is a meme.

ROFL, Twin Blades Varian is one of the strongest self sustain heroes in the game.

Bad healing my hat…

This is hailfail. He doesn’t understand how to play this game.

Not only that - but valeera number goal is to shut down opponents. Which you cannot shut down certain heroes without wound poison. Valeera doesn’t need to be the main damage dealer and can let other assassins get the kill while valeera just makes sure they can’t escape or heal up.

Of course if you played competitively and with a team who knows what they’re doing and working together… you would understand that hailfail.

Right, her job is to disable the backline and finish off stragglers. She puts pressure on the healer / mages forcing the tank to peel giving up the frontline in the process.

It’s equally silly to pick Genji for his “damage.” You pick Genji to harass the backline and secure kills.

It’s the sustain’s job to apply fight pressure to the frontline and it’s Valeera’s job to end the fight.

Also lol @ blinding Varian to deal with him, you want the poisons to offset his self heal forcing him to retreat, all blinding him will do is force him to use a Parry / Shield Wall cooldown while the poison applies massive pressure on him and forces him to either back off or commit and die.

When did I say stat padding was important?

Dealing damage matters. Killing things matters. Obviously getting meaningless damage isnt taht valuable. But getting elims vs not getting elims is a big deal.

and make you NOT useless against the whole rest of the team because you didnt pick relentless.

No, dealing effective damage in the context of it furthering your goal toward ending the core matters. Again, the game is decided when one core falls.

Dude if you’re going to kill varian you silence him with conjucte with wound poison… otherwise varian just shield walls and ignores all your burst damage.

Please just stop trying. You’re out classed here.

Not only this. But there is such thing has having too much damage and not enough utility. As well having too much utility but not enough damage.

You want to avoid overkill damage where it doesn’t even matter.

That’s why valeera is so good. She can talent into either sustain or burst. She can talent into slows and healing reduction and AoE damage.

If your team already has slows. You can pick the energy talents.

Theres no point stacking utility on top of utility if your other team brings that to the table.

And there’s no point in stacking damage upon damage if your team already does enough damage. Otherwise damage is wasted and useless which can bite you in the butt by not having enough utility.

You see hailfail this game isnt about you. It’s about working with a team.

Why do i keep responding to a brick wall. I seriously need to break that bad habit.

No point talking to people who shove words into your mouth and refuse to admit they’re wrong.

And the constant attempts at fallacious arguments and complete inability to participate in a productive argument.

Edit: not to mention hilarious lack of introspection

Are you talking about yourself?

You’re the NPC here.

Me and Droth have enter insight and substance to this thread while you offered.
“No u wrong. I’m right. Repeat talking points on how good relentless strike is.”

Again. Are you talking about yourself?
All you’ve done is

“No u wrong. I’m right.”

You are literally calling the kettle black here if you are even right. But you’re not.

This is what you always do. Me and droth have offered way more view points and counter arguments while you just say “no u wrong. I’m right.”

Exhibit A

Oh man. This is gold.

Resulted to trolling now? (:
