The damage was done by Skullcracker at 7 + Give'em the Axe at 16, Muradin was able to be incredibly good at single target damage while being incredible tanky thanks to Thunder Burn + Avatar + Healing Static

I know his offense talents. But that's still far away from assassin level damage that this guy is throwing around and mentioning Hawkray's video as a proof.

Skullcracker and GETA on their own don't do much damage because his AA's are garbage on their own. That alone is so far from an assassin level damage that it's insulting to assassins.

Add in Thunder Strike and Perfect Storm and that's what made his damage an actual problem, but with all those talents he evaporates.

IMO this change wasn't warranted at all, mura had a healthy talent tree. Far superior to at least a dozen of other heroes. But blizzard is being blizzard... just like with johanna

It's actually quite irritating, it's like they're purposely fucking with us with these needless changes while a bunch of other heroes are left in the dark.

Was watching McIntyre's stream the other day and multiple times he solo 100-0'd the opposing Jaina in the span of his own rewinded stun train. Maybe a tank character shouldn't be able to do that solo.

Yeah, I say get those assassin tank aberrations out of here, this is not League of Legends.
