I don't understand the fascination EU has with Nazeebo. I feel like he's fucking terrible and useless. Basically he suffers from the same problem Lili does

I think he's saying Naz can do damage but not in a meaningful way in team fights. Similar to Lili being able to heal in lane just fine but without a full cups sucks in team fights.

I just picked up LiLi, and man my teams win every time now. Granted I'm still a newb.

When I play my Kael no one ever protects me even when I'm top on the boards every time, but when I play LiLi I make our team a monster.
I'm healing everyone, pealing off enemys ( or whatever they call it in mobas), and keeping everyone in the action at all times.

As the ranks progresses does LiLi fall off as a healer? Who should I be picking up instead, maybe Uther??

I personally like Malf a lot since he got re-tooled. Just have to remember his heal is mostly a HoT and only a small portion of it is instant, also the innervate helps a lot. Plus he can root people if you need to flee.

Lili can heal for a lot, but the problem is not being able to control it. There are a lot of scenarios where the lowest health person isn't the person you actually want to heal. As a solo healer that creates huge problems for early team fight objectives that can make games snowball out of your control. Late in the game she can heal for a ton, but if the opposing team is aware and can stun you out of cups your life sucks a ton. Where as Malf can control his healing, has a root, and can't be stunned out of Tranquility. Rehgar has tons of burst healing and awesome group healing plus the ability to wolf and not get dismounted is huge for running. Uther has the stun and Divine Shield etc. All 3 are just way better than Lili in every way

Rehgar is fucking amazing. He's so far above every other support.

Speaking of support, they really need to figure out Tassadar. There's no way he's a support with his current ability set, but he's not really an assassin/specialist either. He's just fucking terrible, except at laneing.

Can you link me a good quick match build for Rehgar?

Yea, I love his wall and oracle a lot but the shield has nothing close on any kind of healing.

I disagree Tassadar is terrible, I would not pick him as your only support but in some games as a 2nd support he is vastly underrated, same with Tyrande picking her as your single and only support is rough and certainly not ideal but paired with another both her and Tass can round out teams amazingly well. Then again I rarely see someone who can make good use of them properly.

Pretty much always go toHeroes of the Storm (HotS): Homeif you need an idea for builds.

Also, just realize if you're watching the July Open and these pro teams are picking up heroes like Lili that doesn't make her the "go to" hero. They have bans, which shit all over supports considering there are so few viable supports. Hero League doesn't have bans, so Lili should never be the go to pick.

Some heroes just require more coordination to really take full advantage of their potential. I've seen a tyrande + butcher roaming comp that just destroyed. Uther is another that is sometimes wasted. There are just some heroes you shouldn't pick when solo queuing.

Some really great discussion about making the game have more complexity. Starts around the 44 minute mark. Before that is the Esports recap/community update stuff too.

Go to play HL, guy says, "I can fill any role but tank". He is last pick and we need a healer. He highlights Lili and I asked, "Do you have Uther or Rehgar(Malph picked by other team)" He goes no. G fucking G. How do you get to rank 5 without having some of the best heroes in the game?

If my account ever gets banned for talking shit my only appeal will be "Fix your MM so I don't play with complete retards and I would never bitch." I love close games even if we lose. I hate games being lost before the 10 minute mark.
If you're seriously shit talking people for picking a legit healer then you have problems. Lili is perfectly fine and is my main go to healer(I don't have rehgar or Uther either and yet I'm tier 1 masters).

Where is Sonya right now? And what about rehgar vs malf? I accidentally bought rehgar. I have then both at low levels but I'll really only have time to focus on one.
Don't listen to the people saying Sonya blows. She's actually very strong and I managed to carry myself to masters MMR rank 1 in hero league almost entirely using her. My secondary main is Thrall who is also considered to be very weak but there's a massive difference between being weak and being very hard to play. While I do think they could both use a slight buff(and I believe Sonya is about to get one next patch) they are by no means weak, although I think Sonya is stronger than Thrall. Sonya is also extremely fun to play and brings me back to the days of diablo 2.
