Murky has the 3rd highest win rate over the last week in hero league, but is the 7th least picked hero. It seems that people who actually know how to play him are doing quite well with him. This is really surprising, since cleanse really shuts him down and all the healers just got cleanse.
Murky gets a lot of unwarranted hate. Even in master rank, so the top 1% of players, he is in the top half of heroes. I just think he is woefully misunderstood by the general populace.
That is because QM is very casual and that is where the majority of the data comes from. There was also a several members of Tempo Storm who went on a Murky spree and raised his win percentage substantially. Even Ranked is more of an intermediate zone, which on occasion gets into top tier meta. Murky is just not good, that is not saying he is not fun. I like playing Gazlowe, but I can still recognize the character itself is not very good and would never pick that character in a ranked position.(BOE being the only possible exception)
To paraphrase Chikyuu when the whole Twelve is good phase happened in 3S. Twelve himself is not a good character, I am just good with him. The amount of work I have to put in just to be viable is twice that of my competitors.
Nazeebro is so damn fun, someone should have told me sooner. Just hoarding stacks and dropping fools into the zombie mosh pit. That LoL and general moba experience really kicks in with zombie wall placements and drops.
Going to go full on spider build next since the AI isn’t dumb as rocks now.
The win rate I posted was for hero league only, according to hotslogs. Murky is not that bad, honestly, he can harass and force you to react. He’s not nearly as annoying as when he was all about backdooring though lol
Really enjoying the Tychus buffs. Now that I seemed to have fixed my internet connection issues and got used to him, going to take him into QM more and see what kind of work I put in.
He’s very interesting in that he comes across as a no brainer champ but relies a lot on key positioning, smart use of grenades to push targets toward you or disrupt deathball formations and using his dash to either escape or get in and go ham.
He’s my homie, glad to see him being used in tournament play some more now as well.
Try the toads of hugeness…watching them grow bigger and bigger then destroying the enemy is immensely satisfying.
That the one where each hop they do more damage? I take that currently as I am still talent gated and like it better than the zombie wall buff.
Its pretty good for clearing the hell out of waves.
Got The Butcher since he went down in gold cost and I love him. He’s so fun.
I had him since day 1, he’s so fun and with a dedicated support you can go in hard if you pick your spots right.
I can’t wait for Leoric, watched his spotlight vid and he looks nice.
Should Butcher be nerf doe? I think so. It takes at least 2 damn heroes to consistently kill him and acts like a tank. Maybe limit the range of that charge move? Seems OP atm.
Too early, but I don’t think so. I’ve not had much experience playing against him, and I didnt buy him for cash (wasn’t thrilled with the bundle) but I might buy him for gold, still on the fence. The thing is, 1v1 he will beat a lot of people up, but with any sort of coordination hes not that bad. Stun him, slow him, blind him, and for god sakes run away when he gets that butchers brand on you, and hes not that tanky. I never really seemed to have much trouble just kind of watching for his charge and then luring him into a bad position. So no, I don’t think he needs a nerf. Thrall was pretty OP on launch in much the same ways as butcher, got a nerf, and now hes not that good anymore. I’d rather have lots of strong heroes than a bunch of neutered ones.
I am probably buying Leoric for sure though next week. Looks cool.
Butcher is 2nd tier, borderline 3rd tier at the moment. He does do massive damage but you have to commit with him and he is kited rather easily. He can be bursted down quickly as well.
I believe Butcher is fine as he is, he is high risk, high reward.
Yeah that’s the one. I think sprint is in that same tier as well, and is probably the popular pick.
Best described.
Kiting him is basicly his counter. Yes he can do a lot of damage and can sustain himself but he drops pretty easily
New StarCraft warrior and Mount coming with the new SC2 expansion, pretty much what everyone figured but confirmation is nice. I’d link but currently in mobile.
Also got Murky and still have spare gold. IDC what anyone says he is damn fun and can lay down a beating, after a few traits he can clear camps like a champ.
Bubble is also great for body blocking.
Murky straight up ruins lanes and he isnt useless in a teamfight. Solid hero IMO
Leroic was released, he seems really awesome. There was at least one in every game I played today.
Anyone know if there was a hero price drop with his release? Just curious, I got 12000+ gold, and so am deciding who to purchase.
Nope, just Stitches and his Psycho skin. They are doing some maintenance this morning but I doubt any price drops will come so soon after Murky.
Free week Jaina, decided to try her finally. Love the frost waifu, pretty sure I’ll get her next.
I like how Jaina sits side saddle on the horse, that is a nice touch. Thanks for the info Ayo.
I decided to buy Lost Vikings, certainly one of the most unique heroes, so I doubt I’ll ever regret it. However, holy cow are they confusing and difficult to use. If anyone has any tips or can link a guide that is very detailed about everything (not just what talents to choose).
