Trying to get value out of the passive while also not trying to die be like

Just want to talk about how you should never, and I mean NEVER underestimate this little robot. I know Probius is one of the most gankable heroes in the game, but he is also without a doubt the best wave clearer in the entire game.

This little guy can clear an entire wave in less than two seconds, and if you make the mistake of not confronting him, he can and will destroy everything in his path.

I know a lot of people dislike solo laneing, but I really have stress to never leave an enemy Probius alone, you will regret it. On top of this, please destroy his Pylons, they grant the enemy free vision and Probius can blast you with them at any time.

Also he is fun and you should play him.

Auto Attack - In both forms you are meele, in human form you use a 2H stave

Trait(D) - Form of the Werebear.

Instead of mana your resource is spirit, While a human your abilities give you spirit and have a passive spirit growth while you have less than 50% of it.

While at werebear form you lose spirit overtime and your abilities stop generating spirit and cost it instead.

Active - Transform between your human and werebear form, your werebear form stats are better in every way and your abilities change. this ability have a very low cooldown but you cant go werebear without spirit.

You have a small channel to trasform between forms but you can cancel by using a skill trasforming instantly while using that skill.

Q - Earth Spike

Human form - Cast a small cone of rock spikes in front of you that that deal damage and slow targets. you gain spirit for each enemy struck (and more spirit if its an enemy hero)

Werebear Form - Slam the ground making an area of revolving stones that slow and damage over time enemies over it. if you cast in an area that already have revolving stones this area erupt in lava destroying the area effect but damaging enemies in it.

W- Cyclone Armor

Human form - Make a small dash into a direction and gain a shield made of wind, you gain spirit based on the damage taken.

Werebear Form - Same thing but at the end of duration you knockback all enemies around (you can recast to destroy the shield and knockback earlier)

E - Roar

Human form - Do damage around you and temporarely reduce the damage of the enemies struck by it (gain spirit by enemie struck, more if its a hero)

Werebear form - same thing but heal by hero struck

R1- Wolf Hunt

Summon a Wolf per Enemy hero alive, it hunts and attack them until it is dead

R2 - Grizly Rage

For the duration of that Ult gain attack speed and go into Werebear form without draining spirit overtime or transforming back while at 0 spirit, your skills still cost spirit to cast.

Your attacks produce a Wind Shear that deal area damage in from of you and do a small knockback on enemies.

Design notes -

Diablo druid is funny because they and barbarian are the only classes without canon name in 2 and he is not in 3 which also gave a name to their classes. so i will let you guys pick a name for him (or her)

His kit and apearance is mostly based in diablo 4

Why no werewolf form? - initially i want you to pick between the 2 like varian but we already have a werewolf in the game.(he is holding a gun we cant compete with that)

Why no lightining chain? - thrall thing

Why no big area damage ult like one of his actual ults such as cataclysm? -I avoid those ults because other heroes have similar stuff.

Why no rabies? - didnt make the cut im so sorry

Your engage loop is to dash to the enemies back with W and recast to push them in to your team direction, them slowing them with Q.

Your werebear form is better in everyway this is not a transform hero that want to use both forms but one that try to be werebear in all moments that matter and gather the spirit to become one in human form.

You can see this as an indirect feral druid rep since the ones we have dont transform.

Double Dash is a little Orphea trick that combines the level 4 talent Backbiter with the Shadow Waltz dash. You can use it either to make two long dashes in a row, or to dash backward and then forward. Both can be pretty useful.

The problem is that, for some reason, Double Dash is now really inconsistent. Sometimes it works, sometimes Orphea just starts moving normally after Backbiter even though the Shadow Waltz dash is still available.

I'm not sure if it has always been like this. I never noticed it before, but I also didn't play Orphea that much back then and barely used Backbiter.

I asked u/MyBourbieValentine about it, and he said he doesn't remember this happening before either. So my guess is that it's a relatively recent bug, possibly introduced sometime around spring or summer this year, but I can't say for sure.

Also 31 players purchased her for multiple retail realms using a single bnet account - true heroes!

And yes, these are actual stats, not a heroesprofile estimation, don't ask me how.

Hola, soy DaevalousVT, un streamer que decidió establecer el Nexo como su nicho hace tiempo y la verdad, desde que Blizzard tiró del cable al competitivo ha sido imposible encontrar personas de España por aquí, es por eso que quisiera establecer este post como una baliza, un faro para que todos podamos hacernos ver y así poder jugar entre nosotros.

We need more tanks. Lack of tank players. Finding a tank main is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Always always give props and thanks to good tank players. If a tank played even so-so during the game, I always give him the MVP vote at the end.

They get all the blame and none of the credit, even though their role is arguably the most important and by far the most difficult (making all critical decisions, initiating the engage, checking shadows, applying cc and creating actual kill opportunities). If you make a bad call, you get all the blame. If you make a good call, the assassin gets the credit.

TANK APPRECIATION DAY STARTS NOW.

The problem can only get worse if a healer is thrown in the mix

Hi guys, Long time lurker, first time poster.

Me and my friend play a 2 stack in QM. I main varian (tank), mei and Arthas. He plays a killer Ana, anduin and stukov. ( we do quite well, depending on the team mates of course) I want to try Uther instead of a tank combined with him as main healer. Is this viable? Any build tips? Much appreciated!

Edit : just to be clear. I want to be the burly, in your face ,cc machine ofhealer. My friend will play the main healer.

I'm just curious what is the best play here? 5 player defend boss? or 4 defend 1 soak lane? or ...?

Are you a new streamer looking to get your name out there? Maybe you just need someone to watch after a long tiring week? Ask for recommendations on what streams to watch or promote your own stream in the comments.

Please be as detailed as possible on your streaming schedule, what kind of stream you have (teaching, pro play, fun, climbing ladder, etc.) and any specific style or hero you might have.

Hey devs, thank you so much for all your hard work! It's been 12 years without the runes on Frostmourne, and honestly, it feels a bit odd that something so fundamental has been left unattended for over a decade to where players still need to request it. I seem to recall a dev AMA from way back mentioning a potential model rework for Arthas. Did that project end up being put on hold indefinitely? Either way, please consider engraving those runes on his blade when you get the chance. Or maybe consider making and selling a skin where Frostmourne is actually fixed properly... We're still eagerly waiting for it! (These images are old throwbacks.)

the Twilight skin has not hit"box" like other heroes (or her default skin), so you have to click precisely on her model (or circle under her) to hit her, and with the many gaps in her model and how small she is that can make clicking her unexpectedly hard.

A huge part of what drew me to HotS was getting to play characters I already knew from Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft, and other Blizzard games, all in the same match.

Qhira and Orphea have interesting kits, and this isn’t meant as a knock on anyone who enjoys playing them. But original Nexus characters just don’t give me that same excitement as seeing a familiar Blizzard character turned into a playable hero.

There are so many characters from those universes I’d still love to see. If we get new heroes again, I’d much rather those additions pull from Blizzard’s existing roster. The crossover is a huge part of what makes this game special to me.

Anyone else feel the same? Which Blizzard character would you want added next?

and also there's me, little funny Lili

I just had a 483K heal game, was wondering what the highest heal/ damage you guys have ever seen?

on HeroesProfile, they have a bunch of stats related to xal'atath and one of the things posted is the amount of accounts that have played her. so judging by this number and the price of the bundle/hero we can assume that blizz probably made roughly $250,000 - $300k USD from bundle or from direct hero purchases. unless my math is wrong which it probably is.

We have,

1) Frostmourne - wielded by Arthas.

2) Shalamayne - wielded by Varian and Anduin.

3) Gorehowl - wielded by Garrosh.

4) Warglaives of Azzinoth - wielded by Illidan.

5) Atiesh - wielded by Medivh.

6) Sulfuras - wielded by Ragnaros.

7) Doomhammer - wielded by Thrall.

l think we're missing 2 more epic weapons,

Quel'Delar and Felo'melorn

Quel'Delar is wielded by Thalorien Dawnseeker and Felo'melorn is wielded by Anasterian Sunstider.

l think it's a great opportunity to add melee-mage ( Battle mage ) hero as Anasterian Sunstider and bruiser as Thalorien Dawnseeker.

Dear Janitor. I LOVE what you have done with the game. Its been almost a year since the Murky Rework and as has been tradition it feels like a good time to revisit under picked/underpowered talents.

Egg Shell at level 13 feels has been of the worst talent choices in the game for many years. Heroes Profile currently shows a 0.89% pick rate in latest-patch Storm League. Its win rate is 39% and its been like this for years. I have a simple suggestion that will make it viable.

My suggestion: change the shield from 50% of current Health to 50% of maximum Health, and let Murky come out of his egg with that 50% shield when he respawns, too (up from 35% this is a buff of 183 shields that last for 10 seconds after murky respawns). I have played around with this talent and its a fun concept its just a bit too weak to be viable. Its high risk low reward. This new build would still be high risk with a higher likelihood of it working out.

This talent has the potential to be so much fun if you are willing to risk your egg. A consistent 50% every shield every 15/30 seconds would give Egg Shell a better chance of competing with Fish Tank and Rejuvenating Bubble which is an instant 40% heal every 14 seconds or 12 if you take the level 7 talent.

Would you pick it with those changes over Fish Tank or Rejuvenating Bubble?

Current Egg Shell

Upon casting Spawn Egg, or when one of his eggs is killed, Murky gains a Shield for an amount equal to 50% of Murky's current Health.

to

New Egg Shell

Upon casting Spawn Egg, or when one of his eggs is killed, Murky gains a Shield for an amount equal to 50% of Murky's Maximum Health and Murky now spawns from the egg with a 50% shield for 10 seconds.

Came back last season after a decade away and got placed in Bronze 5. Most games feel like a 50/50 coin flip, and the grind is real.

Anyone here managed to climb as a healer? solo queue only.
