HotS: How To Bruise Murky 

Good point! I don't play murky a lot so I'm not always in the mind set that my death means so little

It's so demoralizing getting a late game dragon and it dying before you can push anything

glad you're here!! Is there anything in particular you would like to see change to improve the channel?

Classic criticism without any details 😂

now you tell me haha

I was right.

@@101deathcore let's goooooooooo!!!

Well, all of these heroes can be decent choice on solo lane in certain cases, but most of the time they feel better as dps in 4men. Greymane has no cc or self-sustain to be a complete bruiser. Same about Tychus, whose main purpose is shredding the enemy tank with minigun. Alarak has to scale sadism by getting takedowns, which is easier to do if you fight in 4men.

@@soak_kingwith the right talents, you can build a lot of sadism laning with Al. He can shut down solo laners hard with his awesome 1v1 and silencing, and build sadism using the combo talent. Then he rotates to mid when exp soak is gone, to snag a few takedowns in the team fight. He might not take down mobs as quick as a true laner, but he can deny the other team’s laner the chance to do so, while still not falling behind in sadism and his team fight potential, and then he transitions into a team fighter in the mid game with full sadism built, which is easier to do since his risk of dying and losing sadism is much smaller doing this. Once he’s at full sadism, you can be cautiously aggressive when he hits level 10 and uses his Ult to tank other team’s high damage talents, then getting kills at the same time. I’ve currently got about an 80% win rate as Al doing this strat on maps that have 3 lanes. I’m pretty confident walking into 1v3’s in the right circumstances with him when he’s at full sadism, and winning.

@@timparks9833 I understand what you mean. The main problem with picking an assassin hero on solo lane is that your team will lack of heavy frontline, which usually includes a tank and a bruiser. It makes your team unbalanced and less reliable. If your team already picked 2 dps, picking alarak on solo lane is kinda POG. Yes, he is a melee hero with a lot of AoE cc and some self-sustain. But he has pretty low hp bar comparing to most of bruisers, and his self-healing is not that much to really tank the damage. It is still more rational to pick Alarak as a mage, rather than a solo laner.

Technically speaking, any hero can fill the bruiser role. If you want to you can send Reghar and he will out shine most of the roster in a solo lane setting. However for the purpose of this series I am only covering the more traditional heroes for this role. I do have a few none bruiser class heroes that I will be making a video for such as Murky and Samuro.

@@soak_kingNo, in that situation, probably not.

we do a little soaking :)

Double Socking: the action of gaming so hard you need two pairs of socks to contain the sweat dripping down your leg. Double Soaking: the action of soaking two minion waves per spawn cycle.

@@ThingWub HAHAHAHAHQHA thanks man you earn a sub for that

I try my best not to point it out... but I'm glad someone did haha

I have a deal to make with you. If I add a section for skinergy will you still leave a comment pwetty pwease?

@@ThingWub of course, I'll need to reject your opinions and point out that mine are objectively true, obviously.

@UnsolPhysics I'd expect nothing less haha

Could you explain how is it even possible to confuse enemy team by using skins? If those people don't play HotS for literally the first month, they won't mix up different heroes in 99% of the time.

@@soak_king haha you're totally right, hots does a pretty good job of keeping silhouettes consistent with skins, effects looking similar, hit boxes never change etc. It's mostly a joke but maybe if we're stretching some of the projectiles or aoe ground effects might be harder to see on certain maps. Maybe having a malf skinned illidan and illidan skinned malf on the same team could cause a mistake or two, but super minimal.

nothing to see here, move along
