Most seasoned Nazeebo players will find a nice hiding spot to perform their ult. Which is why the Diablo ult countered it so hard because you can't hide from it. There have been many times on Tychus I'm trying to find the asshole to nade him out of his ult but I can't find the fucker.

I've been playing Anub'arak quite a bit and I think he's a pretty solid hero. I've had quite a bit of success playing him.
There is a nice post on reddit about how damage is calculated in this game but I'll give the highlights:
#1) Calculate ability damage bonuses (ie: +20% damage to ability, +15% damage to ability) by adding all these modifiers together and calculating them to the ability damage [additive]
#2) Apply each damage reduction individually (ie: spell shield + anti-magic powder = 50% reduction then 50% reduction on the reduced damage ... so 25%). Or a cleaner way is basically take the damage from #1 and calculate the DR multiplicative.
#3) Apply damage modifiers after calculating the reduced damage (ie: Target takes 25% more damage) [additive]
It appears like debuffs like damage modifiers don't stack. It just takes the highest one so you can't just stack modifiers on a single target. Slows don't stack it just takes the highest one. Speed buffs appear not to stack, either.
Pretty clean and simple. Nothing to shocking but nice to know.

Garg is pretty bad. It does pretty much nothing in a team fight. Yeah it can be good at merc camps and if you take Merc Lord at 7 you're probably the best merc taker in the game but that doesn't win you the game versus someone who is organized. There is a reason Spirit is seen 100% of the time in competitive WD games.
BTW the level 20 friends invites are going out. Hopefully some people on my FL that were hoping to get in get an invite.

I think the Dota 2 model is 100% better allowing all heros but just charging for appearance items. I am sure the LoL and HoTS way makes more money but it comes off as greedy shit to me. I still feel not being able to block minions, last hit, deny xp, place wards, buy items, ect, ect, really takes a fair bit of skill out of the game but it does make it easy for new players to ease into. But thats a whole different debate.
I agree Gaz is one of the best characters for knocking out Merc camps. Naz does a decent job at it but meh, also the Garg ult is dogshit.
Also does anyone else think Lili's heals are super weak compared to Uther and Reghar's. It's total bullshit that some of the healers and bomb people back to full with no effort while LiLi farts out slivers of a health bar. I know it's Alpha but I hope as we swing into beta in a couple of months they have some patch changes coming.
The "It is everyone's fault but mine" mentality in every moba I've played is both hilarious and frustrating to me. The community for this game is getting worse and worse. Playing half this and now half Starcraft to get my competitive gaming fix. Still vastly prefer 1v1 RTS to 5v5 MOBA.
Yah, this is very true. Usually the people talking the loudest are the worst ones. Seems like every 5th game, I get someone on my team who goes AFK at the 5 minute mark because the team is down a couple of kills.

Oh that shit is the most frustrating of all. HoTS is probably the most forgiving of MOBA games when it comes to dying or getting behind.. It simply does not snowball out of control so comebacks do happen often... Yet there are still the assholes who flip shit and quit because you lose a tower or one team fight doesn't go your way.
Someone once said that that you get more xp for hero kills when you're behind in levels.. not sure if it's true or not. There's been a bunch of times through that my team has been down 3 levels at some point and we've come back to win the game.
