Rehgar plays very much like a melee assassin. You have to wait out cooldowns or ensure that your positioning is very good before lunging in, and then you stay in melee range as long as you can to do damage, and then use Z to leave, chase, or get extra damage. His beefy HP pool and surprising melee damage (especially when paired with Lightning Shield) means that he can win a face-to-face fight with a surprising number of heroes.
You can get some talents that will alter how you play, and in some games you can just never go into melee range, but if you're talking about maximizing his play then you do the same things you would with any other melee assassin. If he's not in the other team's face biting them and doing damage then you really should just be playing Medic or something.

So true. He's got a lot of mobility with Ghost Wolf and Earthbind Totem. If you're in wolf form, you almost always want to land a bite then plop down your Earthbind Totem for escape / chase. Also remember that there's a cast range for Earthbind Totem, you'd want to put it down head of where the enemy is moving for maximum AoE slows.
Also, if you have trouble landing your Ancestral Healings, you could always try to land a regular heal/shield before it lands

I mean, I guess I'll just go out and note that the higher up you go in opponent quality, the less time you want to be doing anything actually aggressive as Rhegar. @Inquisitor77 kinda nailed it that there's really a time and place to be going in, and it is not literally every moment you're in wolf form and able to right click. You will get dead a lot and your team will lament the loss of your heals.
But the reverse is true too - lower tier games people won't lock you down, so you can get away with more bites. You just need to be aware that it's not something you should crutch on as you seek to improve. Rhegar is hard right now; he's not at all top of the heap for supports and you should expect to have lower healing and damage than the likes of Uther, Lili, Kharazim or Auriel. He's a lot more flexible than someone like Morales, so you can certainly have more fun playing him~ But his effectiveness can also heavily depend on your team composition so you can have some really inconsistent performances. If you really like him, just do your best and don't expect to rock the world every game.
Played a quick 14-minute match with @Threeve this evening , just testing out a new webcam that I bought after work. I'll definitely mess around with it more over the weekend, but I'm pretty happy with it for what it is. Also gave me the opportunity to live-cast a bit more, as I clearly need all the practice I can get, lol. It is definitely a skill you have to work hard on to develop.
Here's my Garrosh idea (spoilered for really long read):
Garrosh
Warrior/Bruiser
Melee Attacker
Abilities:
Q - Equip a Weapon (see below).
W - Throwing Axe: Throw an axe dealing 75 damage and 30% Slow for 3 seconds to the first enemy it hits. (12CD)

Level 4 Talents:
Battle Rage (E): Armor Up grants 15% movement speed bonus while active
Commanding Shout (E): Armor Up grants nearby minions and mercs gain 50% damage bonus and can't be killed while active
Crush: Destroy a minion. It drops a Healing Orb. (45CD)
Level 7 Talents:
Upgrade! (Q): Your equipped weapon deals an extra 50% damage
Bouncing Blade (W): Your Throwing Axe hits all enemies
Execute: Deal 75 damage to an enemy. If it dies, refresh this cooldown. (15CD)
Level 10 Talents:
R - Equip Gorehowl: Equip Gorehowl which makes your next 2 Basic Attacks deal 400% bonus damage and in a large AOE in front of him (80CD)

Dual Wielding (W): Throwing Axe gains an additional charge and increases Slow by 20%.

Level 16 Talents:

Rampage (D): Inner Rage lasts for 3 extra seconds.

Level 20 Talents:
Heroic Strike (R): Gorehowl gains 1 extra use and has the cooldown reduced by 20 seconds.
I Know A Guy (R): Friendly heroes always leave the Brawl first
Sleep With The Fishes (Q): Your equipped weapon automatically reequips. Does not work on Gorehowl.
Blood Warrior (D): Quest: Gain 2000 Rage. Reward: Gain 25 Magical Armor.
Probably too powerful or not unique enough to separate him from the rest of the Warriors in the game. Could definitely be a nightmare though in the right hands.
Guessing this is the hearthstone version of Garrosh? I'd think they'd do the WoW one of they did him since in HS he's a stand in for warrior class while in WoW he's Garrosh.

Garden of Terror. We're doing well, controlling the early game, really pushing them out of the map objectives, first to get a terror. Feeling good.
Second terror, there was kind of a mismatched team fight in the middle lane, we lost it. No big deal, we'd been winning them before, just had to pull back and regroup. I grab the second terror and make my way down to the bottom lane to apply some pressure elsewhere.
And then just fucking misclick the eject button. For no good reason, just fat-fingered it. Just the stupidest thing I'd ever done. Everyone was very nice, but I think it would have been an important really important to at least pressure them on the bottom lane and draw 3-4 of them away. Instead it was just a total waste. Ultimately we ended up losing, and I consider my huge mistake a big reason why we lost. Feels real bad, especially fucking up while playing with a bunch of forumers.

I think you should put a sticky note near you with things to talk about when you're dead or running back as a reminder. My suggestions would be:
-analyze talent choices/talk about alternate builds
- talk about the map and map strategy, particular granular knowledge of the map you can share is cool too
- talk about the teams' comps and speculate on the fight strategy or which ults complement each other

Hey. Hey. I've done that before. Mashed R literally a few seconds after I got in it.
We were up against pretty inexperienced players, to be honest. I didn't think they had the situational awareness to notice I was missing, and I actually still think they didn't; they more or less stumbled into me by luck. I gambled on the camp and lost, no biggie. I just wish I hadn't gotten Johanna and Xul killed for my mistake.

Just lost a game on Hanamura because half my team didn't know that the boss made a round fire. God I hate low level play sometimes. Like, ELO hell is made up, but when you're playing below your normal level, sometimes you lose matches that you absolutely, 100% should have won, because your team is made up of morons.

Yeah, I think Threeve had the right idea in terms of positioning to give you some peel and an escape route, but being on Nazeebo meant that you were dead once they saw you and showed up with multiple heroes.
You know you have a god awful team when you have the most hero damage, most kills, and indeed the only kills for your team.... as Azmodan . All of them were solo efforts and its not like we had no assassins, I beat a Raynor and a Thrall.

If he's not in the other team's face biting them and doing damage then you really should just be playing Medic or something.
So true. He's got a lot of mobility with Ghost Wolf and Earthbind Totem. If you're in wolf form, you almost always want to land a bite then plop down your Earthbind Totem for escape / chase. Also remember that there's a cast range for Earthbind Totem, you'd want to put it down head of where the enemy is moving for maximum AoE slows.
Also, if you have trouble landing your Ancestral Healings, you could always try to land a regular heal/shield before it lands
Two things to follow up on this:
1) Ancestral has a very long wind-up time, especially against better opponents. You are better off casting it too early than too late. Once you see someone getting focus fired, especially if it's the tank, you should cast it. Don't wait until they are "low". If they are at half HP and still being attacked, that's basically the perfect time to cast it.
2) Rehgar does have a basic combo, especially in a lane match-up but also while chasing.
Z into Ghost Wolf
Run up to the enemy and basic attack (lunge)
Drop E at max range behind them
Cast W on the Totem (or yourself, if you notice they are smart about killing the totem ASAP)
Attack the face until they die or run away
You can practice this so that it happens very, very quickly. This combo wins against almost everyone who isn't a tank or a melee trade hero like Butcher. It works even better when you take Lightning Bond, because you get two Lightning Shields doing damage.

AND DIDN'T USE IT

and she wasn't hatting myself or valla, instead hatting butcher
who she was grouped with................
ANYWAY.
Anyway. We won that game, somehow, despite Butcher being Leeroy-fuckin'-Jenkins over here, and despite our terrible Scumbag Steve Auriel over there. We won!! I guess!!!!
I dunno. It's one of those wins that doesn't feel good though, right? Like we didn't win because we played well, we won because the enemy team played even worse than we did. Gaaaawwwd.
Oh well. It's still a win, and that's very preferable to a loss. I'm not upset or angry or salty, just... flustered I guess. What a weird game.
When the pubbies are just crushing your spirit, sometimes you just gotta do that carry thing, and be all like "broad shoulders yo, broad shoulders".
Oh, and just an FYI for everyone, if I don't take your play request, it's not because I'm mad at you or something, it's because I'm either about to log off, or on tilt, and I don't want to subject any of you to that. It's a decline out of luv.

The Escape Goatincorrigible ruminantthey/themRegistered Userregular
I honestly think Ressurect is only an option if you just straight up can't land good Aegis-es, it's such a huge teamfight swing. Like sure sometime they pop out and immediately die but a lot of other times you drop a bomb heal on them as they pop out and immediately get a ton of energy back from the level 1 heal = hurt talent because they were bunched up around them and suddenly the enemy team just ate a shitton of damage and the fight is suddenly massively in your favor
Auriel is a gud hero

It's risen as the preferred option with the most recent changes to it. Honestly it's easier to use and probably provides more value than Aegis at most skill levels. The truth is that a poorly-used Aegis can kill someone when they normally would not have died. For example, that game that ducks posted where Rynox put Aegis on me and Li-Ming used it to throw a combo at my face.

I hope Garrosh isn't next, I hate Garrosh. If they're going to do another Orc give us Doomhammer or Grom or something.
Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. - Lincoln
So Summer Event is probably going to start next tuesday, according to the data mining. So maybe details released today.
Also given the schedule we should be seeing a new hero a week after that considering it'll have been 3 weeks since Malth was released. No clue how they are gonna run that though. We've had no news or teasers and they'd have to start the PTR soon. Maybe they are gonna go for another 4 week gap and release it right after the Summer Event stops if the event is only 2 weeks?
Man.... I need to learn not to solo queue late at night when it's past my bedtime already.
Had a game yesterday where we were insanely ahead. Enemy had two keeps left and we were only two forts down.
For some reason 3 of our allies decided to just mill around mid-lane in front of the enemy keep and literally not do anything.
Nazeebo and I were bottom getting a merc (there was nothing else to do at the moment), and after pleading with the three to join us, they all get picked off. That just snowballed into enemy getting the next dragon (lv 21) and ending the game.
I hope Garrosh isn't next, I hate Garrosh. If they're going to do another Orc give us Doomhammer or Grom or something.
Yeah man. After playing Mists of Pandaria and then Warlords ... there's NO good feelings for Garrosh on my end. Nothing but white hot burning rage.
If they actually put that douche in the game, I will full tilt to focus fire him every single game. For RP purposes, I might even play Thrall more when I do it, stealing the kill from all the other teams.
We have enough players for tomorrow (though since we have a couple maybes in there anyone who still wants in should say so as you could still get to play), which means we need team captains. Any volunteers?
TFW you finish a game on Blackheart's with 40k exp and your "chase til he dies always engage Chen" is explaining to you that you have zero map awareness.

But the reverse is true too - lower tier games people won't lock you down, so you can get away with more bites. You just need to be aware that it's not something you should crutch on as you seek to improve. Rhegar is hard right now; he's not at all top of the heap for supports and you should expect to have lower healing and damage than the likes of Uther, Lili, Kharazim or Auriel. He's a lot more flexible than someone like Morales, so you can certainly have more fun playing him~ But his effectiveness can also heavily depend on your team composition so you can have some really inconsistent performances. If you really like him, just do your best and don't expect to rock the world every game.

WHY DOES NO ONE KNOW HOW TO PLAY HER
like
holy shit
i'm getting fuckin beefed on by greymane/rehgar and i'm running away and auriel is RIGHT THE EFF THERE and she is sitting on a full bar of energy and i'm like "please god PLEASE LORD HELP ME JUST, HEAL ME, PLEASE,"
nop
so i die
and i'm like "auriel, what the hecking gosh dang was that"
"i couldn't heal you, you died too fast xD"
motherFUCKER IT TOOK THEM LIKE 8 SECONDS TO KILL ME WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING
oh right, you were bitching at our valla or something, i don't know. shit wasn't on cooldown i know that for a fuckin' fact
AND SHE TOOK RESURRECT
AND DIDN'T USE IT
EXCEPT ONCE ON BUTCHER, WHO SHE WAS GROUPED WITH
and she wasn't hatting myself or valla, instead hatting butcher
who she was grouped with................
ANYWAY.
Anyway. We won that game, somehow, despite Butcher being Leeroy-fuckin'-Jenkins over here, and despite our terrible Scumbag Steve Auriel over there. We won!! I guess!!!!
I dunno. It's one of those wins that doesn't feel good though, right? Like we didn't win because we played well, we won because the enemy team played even worse than we did. Gaaaawwwd.
Oh well. It's still a win, and that's very preferable to a loss. I'm not upset or angry or salty, just... flustered I guess. What a weird game.

Oh, and just an FYI for everyone, if I don't take your play request, it's not because I'm mad at you or something, it's because I'm either about to log off, or on tilt, and I don't want to subject any of you to that. It's a decline out of luv.

Some people take their pocket Auriel role very seriously is all Dibs.
Dunno might be good on the bigger maps
Auriel is a gud hero
i think i'd only take rez in double support comps, and even still probably not because aegis just does so many things.
It's funny because they are also generating no hope IRL.
Also given the schedule we should be seeing a new hero a week after that considering it'll have been 3 weeks since Malth was released. No clue how they are gonna run that though. We've had no news or teasers and they'd have to start the PTR soon. Maybe they are gonna go for another 4 week gap and release it right after the Summer Event stops if the event is only 2 weeks?
I got yelled at and called names by a thrall yesterday. Because my heals were too low. Six minutes in. When he had less damage then everyone then me.
Like, ok sweetie. My heals depend on yall actually doing damage.

My favorite moments as pubbie auriel is winning hero or siege damage because my team refuses to either waveclear or fight enemies.
Had a game yesterday where we were insanely ahead. Enemy had two keeps left and we were only two forts down.
For some reason 3 of our allies decided to just mill around mid-lane in front of the enemy keep and literally not do anything.
Nazeebo and I were bottom getting a merc (there was nothing else to do at the moment), and after pleading with the three to join us, they all get picked off. That just snowballed into enemy getting the next dragon (lv 21) and ending the game.
So extremely frustrating.

Yeah man. After playing Mists of Pandaria and then Warlords ... there's NO good feelings for Garrosh on my end. Nothing but white hot burning rage.
If they actually put that douche in the game, I will full tilt to focus fire him every single game. For RP purposes, I might even play Thrall more when I do it, stealing the kill from all the other teams.
Hey so tourney is tomorrow, starts at 3 PM Eastern?
Do we have enough players for 2+ teams?
Also, did you put me down as a Silver?
I think I'm more of a gold->plat, maybe...

psssst
you can't be pubby auriel
pubby refers to your rando teammates that you get matched with, not yourself :P

We have enough players for tomorrow (though since we have a couple maybes in there anyone who still wants in should say so as you could still get to play), which means we need team captains. Any volunteers?
EDIT: At least we won.
