Heroes of the Storm Forums

I have to agree a little with Severage, especially after the nerf to promote and general split pushing in the game.

Throw in another vote for Azmodan. I cringe when I see him on my team in soloQ and love taking advantage of Blood for Blood when he's on the other side :)

He's basically a free xp machine for good players.

Murky, Azmodan, Sonya... I never win a game with these bastards...

IMO HotS is a game with which you can have a lot of fun.

It is not only about fighting for gold, xp or ranks, it's the fun around it. I think Blizzard had something like that in mind, when they created one or two of your "useless" heroes.

I like the game exactly because of this fun part, which is completely nonexistent in games like LoL or Dota.

"Fun" is something completely subjective. Your "fun" is no one else's but yours. There are very few things universally agreed as "fun".

I'm with Grim on this one. I feel each hero has a chance to shine in some sort of light.
IE Murky: I've seen him used both as a successful pusher and as an alright ganker (with Octograb).
You cause enough pressure on the side opposite of where the objectives will be and force 1 or even 2 memebers of the other team to come deal with you. You can even afford a quick death or two while your team sets up for the Tribute or an Altar. And honestly, if played well, Murky can get in, get his damage off, and get out with Bubble while he waits for cds.

Either way, I feel there a lot of valid arguments for a lot of builds on a lot of heroes, right now and as always; this is Beta and "Beta is Beta".

except for murky, I don't really find anny other heroes useless, as they all got their strenghts and counter etc. like azodans can counter abuthar, and push lines etc, malf is a great healer with a lot off damage output...also too defend gaze...his not the hero off my choose but having him in sky temple..having him place down 2-3 of his ****ing torrents too defend it..is so strong.

Earlier on i would have said Malph aswell, but not now... For me, I will vote for murky, i havent played it yet, but the best way to counter him is... ignoring him, and so far that has work for me.

I think this thread forgets to separate hero from player when deciding on uselessness. Murky can grow into a decent pusher, but at current it feels like the only decent build for him (I hear he was amazing pre-patch) and always with free rotation brings newbie players who think they can jump into games and be good. Best example is Nova every time she is on free rotation.
