i still say one of the best female characters in all games of all time is in this game. sonya......

she talks like my wife got the red hair and she has not one but two big swords... plus the what do you want pup always gets me. may be my scottish blood tho.

.....don't tell anyone -_- but i do not think i actually tried to kill her even if she on the enemy team since launch of alpha.

Her portrait mais traptastic, tho

I'm in and playing. Anyone else on dakka still?

I don't really like Sonya for some reason.

Johanna, on the other hand. .

I'd offer you a game Malfred, but we're in separate regions and I don't think that works?

Sonya probably needs another tank present, but she's fun.

Picked up Lt. Morales the other day. You can basically keep a hero alive through just about anything that gets thrown at it so long as she still has mana. The only real downside is that you need to pay attention to your target's health. You'll keep channeling your heal (and burning mana) until you tell it to stop casting, even if the target is at full health.

Morales is a bit OP honestly, especially when paired with Raynor. Stim drone is massacre.

Things I don't like:

ETC.

Thrall.

Octograb.

Things I like:

Anub'arak.

Rehgar.

Johanna.

The Butcher.

I really like Valla and Sylvanas.

Hate ETC.

Morales is in dire need of buffs. She has no escape mechanism, a tiny HP pool and no cc. She is good against disorganized teams, but decent opponents tear her apart. She gets dived and dies immediately. I /love/ her, but she really needs buffs. I do have a heart for underdogs, though, right now maining Lunara who also is quite underpowered.

Morales's heal beam shouldn't consume mana when the target
is full. It's likely that you're losing mana because your target is
getting chipshotted by minions or something. Just make sure to
turn it off with D.

There's a reason you see Morales all over the place, and believe me, it is not because she is in dire need of buffs.

This. Rehgar isn't underpowered just because you have no mana when spamming chain heal on full HP allies, either.

Ehem...if you target is at full hp, you don't spend any more mana already

It only consumes mana when you actually heal. What often happens to new Morales players is that in the lane, they always have the beam active and thus every time the target gets damaged, you lose mana. A good Morales player only heals as soon as the target's hp reach 70-75%. It's a huge difference, believe me

She does have a defense mechanism, though. Specifically, she has the shield that reduces damage.

But yes, focus fire will probably bring her down quickly, particularly if she's snared. That means that she's great against AI. But she's vulnerable against a coordinated human team.

Only char I bought beside Sergeant Hammer. But you cannot beat Tank Girl! Killing and kangaroos!
I find playing Sergeant Hammer much easier than playing Johanna, too.

Not being a terrible player is good enough to have almost a 100% winrate against IA...

I think that's because Johanna is just plain harder to play. You've got more abilities to worry about, more situations in when to consider using them and since your escape is "Being really tough" timing and situational awareness are important. Hammer on the other is mostly "Don't have terrible positioning, auto-attack things to death, Z to zoidberg away from pretty much anything".

I used to love Johanna even bought the master skin but I just kind of fell out of love with her, guess I got hooked mobility. I've been playing a lot of Chen recently and been enjoying the hell out of him, especially late game. I love his pressure point talent at 16. It mas well read "Where exactly do you think you're going?" between that and wandering keg he's just great at shutting of escapes. (Yes I know it's the worse ult. No I don't care, too much fun.)

I love chen. I Flying Quick too quickly, though.

And? In WoW, feral druids are unviable in top tier arenas. The class is still broken.

I still love playing this game, and as any role. Currently grinding som eheroes to 10 for the skins, but think I have my pool of heroes mostly sorted... though some are sneaking in as likes like azmo who at first I did not care for.

*bump*

I'm a bad still playing this. I take time off to play Diablo seasons
whenever that updates, but this is what I do now. Anyone still
playing?

Yeah. It's still a solid game. Samuro almost scared me off it for a while (what were they thinking????). I still enjoy it though. I still love that smug feeling I get when the enemy team does not understand how to deal with Abathur

You have triggered my trap card.

I mostly play vs ai for fast dailies and qm with certain friends.
