I play murky when Im feeling lazy as it really doesnt matter if I die
I was dead set against gazlowe then he annoyed me that much in a few rounds so I bought him. He can be great fun and able to push pretty hard

May use some of the gold i was going to use for leoric to buy gazlowe and murky then.

Sega Mega Dave · 24 Jul 2015 at 12:28

Gazlowe is bloody awful in all honesty. There are the odd good Gazlowe but in general he's well meh.

Murky is a laugh.

Sin_Chase · 24 Jul 2015 at 13:46

Murky can be a great surprise assassin when talented up at 20. You can wombo-combo most low/med HP heroes to death on yourself. Bonus points if you live to tell the tale though

Finally got a comfortable Zeratul build. He can be very tricky to play if he gets locked down. As for Malfurion, best healer in-game by far IMO. Strong healing and an amazing support toolkit with roots. Cheap, spammable moonfire is excellent against stealthers and contributes to cheaper/free renews.

I just played my first actual game, only against AI. I have no idea if I did well or not!

Sega Mega Dave · 24 Jul 2015 at 14:12

Well as long as you didn't lose and die a load of times then you can't really do that poorly against AI.

It's a very forgiving game so just jump into the pvp quick matches as soon as you have the basic controls down.

It's a lot more fun and you'll pick up bad habits playing against the AI as they don't really test you.

I'd like to get in to this but I just can't seem to.... Only other moba I played was league but this seems much more friendly to get to grips with

That is what I am going to do. There is a group that I will be playing with so I shouldn't get lost in the game. I just played one vs AI simply because there were things from the tutorial I didn't quite get.

Also, I have never played a moba before so I am a complete beginner.

There are some vids on youtube that might help you learn the basics:

Thanks. I'll have a look at some vids later.

Atm, I am not really sure of what a good round is, or if I'm doing well or not tbh. I am waitng for my new headset to arrive before I can really play in a group. I don't know if you can tell from the stats at the end, but this is the last game I played(my 2nd game)

I spent the whole game just following the Rogue really

I really enjoyed it though!

Fun utility if you are forming a team to give the best chance of win based on hotslogs data

Well picked up Leoric and he is Lulzy

Sega Mega Dave · 25 Jul 2015 at 14:23

I've yet to see a good Leoric or one that hasn't racked up about 10 deaths per game.

Personally think he's awful unless you have an organised team and a second warrior.

Not bad at all, healing could maybe be a little higher but hard to tell without seeing the game. You did well i'd say.

Typical Leoric though racking up the deaths.

Cool. Probably because I basically spent the whole round in a lane with Valla whilst the other guys were elsewhere. Without a mic it was hard to tell what I should be doing tactically. I suppose I should have gone to where the other guys were as they didn't have a healer?

Once I get my mic sorted hopefully teamwork will be a lot easier!

My matchmaking luck over the past 3 days has been abysmal. Keep getting put with absolute idiots.

Sooooooooooooooooo many damn scrubs in Hero League. Scrub after scrub after scrub. I swear they have changed the matchmaking system. Appears me solo queuing is getting put against full pre-made teams with 4 other solo scrubs to play with on my side.

tals · 28 Jul 2015 at 18:04

Agreed, quick match is so disappointing as it is random what makeup of team you get set with so it really becomes not much more than a test zone. Hero Match I need to do more but I would really prefer quick match as a draft format or even better adopt LOL's team builder aspect where you set the makeup and people join on that basis.

Sin_Chase · 28 Jul 2015 at 18:59

Hero League is no better now. Rank appears to mean nothing. Even at Rank 11 I am being queued with absolute idiots.

Sin_Chase · 28 Jul 2015 at 19:03

ANOTHER retard Queue in HL.

Butcher, Gazlowe and someone who steals pre-picks.
