Guest, did you like the last podcast notification?? Well here's the second one, and for the third podcast! Yep. This Thursday 8-8-24 at 7pm Central
Go here to check out his podcast thread for info on topics and links!Go into the FoH discord and find the Happy Time Fun Hour channel and give it a listen!
I have a feeling that the overall effect of a well played Abathur makes up for a body. Soaking up two lanes of xp while a shitty teamfight is going on, or one lane + being in the team fight is a little extra. The increased passive lane pressure with a well placed body for locusts helps over time. I think the cumulative effect over all makes up for it and could win you the game sometimes.
Dude does need some tweaks though, that's for sure. He isn't perfect or god tier, but I don't think he's useless either.

You have no ranged poke and all of those heroes outside of arthas are bad at pushing lanes and you're going to have two lanes w/ one hero not counting the lane abathur is in. Valla would be much better than nova.
Interesting. Heroesfire just says it is range. But the patch notes echo the statement in the screen.
Early on you want Abathur to have a lane partner that reliably gets the XP in that lane. Since he can't body soak in the early phase of laning if he drops symbiote to place nests or if his minion he hatted gets killed he is 3 seconds away from being able to get XP possibly losing out on minion XP.
Yeah 20% is pretty freaking huge. I'll email heroesfire to let them know their mistake. I'll give a whirl at the stab build when I get home.

Was there any word on giving sonya a male barbarian skin? I was trying this out for the first time last night and she was one of the few heroes i enjoyed (her, uther, and zeratul were by far my favs)
Curious if she'll be gender swappable at some point lol
I'm awful at mobas, havent played one since WC3.. but this game looks pretty fun with not having to worry about gold/items etc.

I can't say for certain but I think they may want to do a male barbarian with a different kit and possibly draw it more from D2. Since there are so many skills/builds for Barbarians I'd rather they not paint themselves into a corner by releasing a gender-bent skin but would prefer a fully designed male barb.
I'd like to see a D2 barbarian that functions something like Troll Warlord where you can swap between ranged and melee and have a mana pool instead of rage
Also somewhat on topic I feel since the removal of gold/individual XP the options for heroes to make is fairly wide open. I want to see a damn SC2 Medivac on the game at some point.

I'd like a D2 Necro:
That has 1 raise skill but differs on what kind of lane minion it's used on.. archers = skeleton archer, melee = normal skeleton, "mage" = skeleton mage.
Iron Maiden curse, or decrepify curse
Bone wall to prevent escape/advancement
Bone spear as an alternative i guess
Hero ability could be Revive, that works on the jungle minions, lane minions, heroes etc temporarily. secondary could be a fire golem
could add bone armor as a trait.
They would make a great hero class even on mechanics alone lol
