    Using Rags' trait effectively is one of his highest skill curves. It has a long cooldown, and can be really powerful when used in the right moments. But oftentimes, Rags just lets it rip. It's the same thing with global heroes burning their flight/dig inefficiently, you know what I mean?

    The thing about using the trait effectively, it takes no real mechanical skill to do it. You just pop in and start hammering your buttons on people. It's entirely a macro skill in knowing when and how to use it.

    Protip: the best usage of it is after the enemy team has advanced on your teams position with their backs to a destroyed fort. You go to that fort, pop trait, and Q -> R them to a fast death

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    The game state just looked to me like one of those where your Muradin could sneak down past the other team while they're on your side and finish off the core in a second by diving it and Q+W-ing.

    Disc works on the Odin, so I would guess it works on Molten Core, which I think have more or less identical traits.

    The onus really should have been on Blizzard to not design a Dehaka-incompatible map.

    If I have to choose between having no frontline in ARAM or having a character with literally only 50% functionality, I'm gonna choose no frontline 10 times out of 10, lol.

    Technically they still kind of did when they made those maps.

    Poll: what would you say is the very worst level 20 ult upgrade talent?

    caveat: I am disqualifying upgrades for troll ults like Tormented Souls and Locust Swarm


    My pick would be Genji's X-Strike upgrade. A conditional cooldown reduction and absolutely nothing else? There are ult upgrades that significantly reduce cooldown in addition to other effects. You would have to hit all 5 enemy heroes in order for the upgrade to allow you to cast twice a fight. But how often is your team going to line up that perfect ult and still have an undecided fight 10 seconds later?


    edit: Okay I've changed my mind to Murky's Endless March for now.

    X-Strike can hit an individual hero up to 3 times, though (I think). Under ideal circumstances you could get a full reset off of just two heroes. More realistically it can definitely happen when hitting 3 heroes.

    And like any similar talent, it likely gains some value if you're facing heroes that put extra bodies in the field like Rexxar or Samuro.

    That's another contender. How much more value can realistically be squeezed out of March beyond its usual length?

    I see so many Murkies who go all-in push and think they're going to seal the deal with Endless March. Even against a totally undefended fort, how much more push value and siege damage are you getting out of channeling Endless than you would with your regular abilities and attack?

    Xul 20 for skeletal mages is meh

    Nova triple tap 20 is pure winmore

    Diablo apoc 20 is fairly useless

    Agreed on triple tap.

    Skeletal mages I'm not sure. I think Poison is the better ult most of the time, and Mages would only be picked in instances where a chunk of the enemy team relies on move speed. But if you WERE in a situation where you think the slow of Mages is the better pick, then enhancing the slow by a large amount isn't too bad.

    Apoc 20 being weak I think is more about Apoc itself being weak. It's one of the only ults that practically requires a teammate combo to be effective. But it's practically the same upgrade as X-Strike, but better. So I'd still say X-Strike 20 is the worse upgrade.

  • A Dabble Of TheloniusA Dabble Of Thelonius It has been a doozy of a dayRegistered User regular
    Definitely not the worst, but I don't see a reason to pick 20 Combustion on Blaze.

    I'm aware bunker is technically better. But potatoes don't click it.

    20 combustion on blaze is quite good as the slow enables people to get hit by the thing.

    I can definitely see that, yeah. I guess I usually pop it in team fights so don't have an issue with em running away. But yeah.

    I'll toss my official vote to murky lvl 20 march
