MOTHER

Herald of Research

Gameplay


MOTHER is a titanic watcher, a being created by the Titans to watch over Azeroth and protect it from the corruption spread by the Old Gods. Mother's playstyle revolves around empowering minions and structures, while still being able to play a variety of roles. MOTHER provides a large amount of adaptability, potentially filling as a healer, damage dealer, or bruiser. However, these all come with their own drawbacks.

Lore


MOTHER helps watch over the sleeping titan within Azeroth. She helps Magni along with champions of Azeroth to fight back against N'zoth and prevent it from corrupting the dormant titan. She was originally tasked with researching the Old Gods in the titan facility of Uldir, however, the artifically crafted Old God G'huun was able to corrupt the entire facility, leaving only MOTHER to defend it. After being saved by Magni and some heroes and aiding them defeate G'huun, MOTHER pledged herself to their cause and helped defend Azeroth from within the Chamber of the Heart.

Why pick MOTHER?


MOTHER's versatility allows her to be a good early pick in draft. Her Purify can also be invaluable against enemies who rely on using negative effects on enemies, such as Nazeebo and Uther. She can also serve as a solid complimentary healer, damage, or tank. For example, she can work well with a healer such as Tyrande who cannot heal large amounts. Her solid keep defending capabilities can also help against teams with extremely strong wave clear.

Attack Type: Melee
Health: 2,110 (+4% per level)
Health Regen: 3.2 (+4% per level)
Mana: 500(+4% per level)

Pros:


-Extremely versatile, being able to fill many different roles
-One of the very few champions that is able to heal structures
-Allows your team to choose off meta talents to surprise the enemy
-MOTHER can surprise enemies by changing talents to something different

Cons:


-Subpar performance in each of the three other roles MOTHER can fill
-No hard CC
-Teams have to be built around MOTHER's purify.
-Teammates may not know how to play around MOTHER's passive.

Strong Against

Ana


MOTHER can use Purify to remove Ana's only defensive tool.

Lunara


Similarly to Ana, MOTHER is able to remove Lunara's passive on her allies, removing a large amount of her damage.

Uther


MOTHER is able to remove one of Uther's most powerful tools, his stuns. By being able to remove both his basic ability stun and his ultimate stun, MOTHER can pretty much pacify Uther and make him a non-threat.

Weak Against

Illidan


Having no CC and being limited in terms of escape methods, MOTHER can find herself struggling to escape from assassins such as Illidan. Even when she goes the tank route, she can still struggle to fight high damage and hard to hit heroes.

Tyrande


It may seem like MOTHER would do fine against Tyrande but that is not the case. Because of Tyrande's W, MOTHER will struggle to use Reoriginate unless she is very far away. Because MOTHER is revealed, the owl will be able to hit MOTHER and cancel the channel. Additionally, Tyrande's stun is short and can hit MOTHER herself, making Purify difficult to use.

Abathur


Similarly to Tyrande, Abathur's main power against MOTHER is his ability to easily cancel Reoriginate with his W. Additionally, Abathur is easily able to empower and buff his allies similarly to MOTHER, weakening much of her power.

Weak With

Abathur


Purify would remove Abathur's Symbiote, the very basis of his kit.

Malfurion


Everything Malfurion wants to do with his allies, MOTHER prevents. Malfurion's healing is reliant on being able to heal his allies over time. Purify directly counters that.

Medivh


Because of MOTHER's overall subpar damage output, she needs to have the other members of her team dealing damage. The combination of Purify removing Medivh's shield and Medivh'ss lack of damage means that Medivh would both deal too low damage to make up for MOTHER and would actively be countered by MOTHER.

I think her first ult is underpowered. I cannot imagine minion strong enough to help you in teamfight.

A siege minion targeted by the ult has about 1600 health and deals 180 damage per attack. And then, when it dies, it stuns all nearby enemies and pushes them back. I'm pretty sure that would be strong enough to at least put some pressure on the enemy.

It could be deadly during core sieges, although prioritising enemy heroes may break your plans.

So I love the first part of her trait, but the second confuses me. Which level(s) is the chosen talent for?

Allankap5 (1) | May 9, 2020 6:55am
Any talent level that is not 10/20. So, for example, lets say you're playing MOTHER and you chose research healing as your level 1 talent. Then, four minutes later, the enemy team is trying to dive you and your team under an allied structure. You can swap that level one talent to Apply Research to make structures a bigger threat and keep the enemy team off of you. However, they don't know that you changed your talent, so you can surprise them with it.
