Threat	Hero		Notes
1		Abathur	Nope. Empower your Q and destroy the whole wave.
1		Murky	Good one. BOOM goes the fishy.
1		The Lost Vikings	Easy prey to the combos.
2			No Threat
3		Azmodan	Your quick wave clear doesn't put Az at much of a threat, but still beware his tanky nature.
3		Chen	Chen's hard engage will often be the death of him. Line your combo up right, and watch his health just widdle away.
3		Li Li	Torn down pretty easily; just watch out for her AoE heal ult.
3		Malfurion	Similar to LiLi.
3		Rehgar	Not a real threat. Be aware of who he chooses to heal.
3		Sylvanas	Easily outdamaged, but make sure not to fall prey to her banshees. You must land your skillshots.
3		Tychus	Not a real threat, his chain gun can't outdo your burst.
3		Uther	Uther has very little to manage against you besides Divine Shield, but it's rarely taken.
3		Valla	Squishy and easily outcombo'd, but don't get juked by Vault.
3		Zagara	Your Q can take care of most her summons.
4		Arthas	Little threat, but try not to get to caught out by him. Your stun counters him pretty hard - as seen in the video.
5		Brightwing	Your worst fear with Brightwing is the polymorph. Also be wary of his typhoon, as it can throw off combos pretty badly.
5		Diablo	As with all assassins, be careful of Diablo's ability to break through a line and pick you out. However, this build does very well with tearing tanks down.
5		E.T.C.	Similar to Diablo in nature.
5		Falstad	Definitely try to outdamage him if he hard engages. If he barrel rolls out, don't pursue. You will outscale him.
5		Gazlowe	Turrets can zone you out pretty hard; engage with caution.
5		Kerrigan	Not much of a threat due to the slow nature of her skills, but do be cautious of her hard engage.
5		Muradin	If you can dodge his stun, you've pretty much won. However, be cautious of being caught out and stuck in the avatar stun chain. Kael is lacking in escapes.
5		Nazeebo	Dangerous only because his summon waves can't be cleared. Engage once he's used abilities, but don't overcommit.
5		Tassadar	His shields are a pretty decent counter to living bomb. Be sure to watch when he is shielding, and time your combo around that.
5		Thrall	Fight from afar, and try to dodge his root. He will take advantage of your squishy-ness.
5		Tyrande	Dodge the stun and you'll do just fine.
6		Anub'arak	His engage is nasty, but be sure to stun him when you can and line up as much of your combo as possible.
6		Sgt. Hammer	Very powerful laning due to her siege mode. Engage primarily with team, and combo hard - but don't overcommit to a kill.
7			No Threat
8		Illidan	Illidan's jumpy nature can make it difficult to line up your combos. Be patient, and have faith in your damage. Phoenix, especially at 20, is a great tool against Illidan.
8		Raynor	A threat primarily because of his heal, but can be easily outcombo'd. Play smart!
8		Sonya	Dangerous due to her speed, gap closing, and persistence. Engage from afar, and pass bomb onto her so she carries it back to her team.
8		Stitches	Fear the hook. Fear it.
8		Tyrael	Similar in nature to Sonya.
9			No Threat
10		Nova	Being caught out by Nova is almost certain death, as Kael has no escape. Phoenix, with it's short cooldown, is critical to countering stealthed Heroes.
10		Zeratul	Same boat as Nova, FEAR THE REWIND. Phoenix usage is key.
