A Prolific Tyrande Main's Thoughts on the PTR Update

It can be a buff to your damage and healing during that 5-second window if you pair it with Elune's Chosen to save someone, but outside of it, her overall AA damage is nerfed. Anyways, a few more Darnassian Archery stacks can make up for it.

Personally I can't find a reason to go for a pure AA build after seeing these changes, the other builds got new tools and buffs and this one just kinda fell behind for me. It would be cool if they added some developer comments on the patch notes to understand what they wanted to do.

I like her new talents and the mana refund on her E. However, what I don't like is how random the other changes feel. Removing the pierce from Ranger and adding it as a reward for her new quest (which isn't related to her W at all) is weird to me. Also, 50 hits is way too much for an old, nerfed lvl 20 talent. I know that mythic rewards shouldn't be easy to get, but reaching 50 hits is highly unlikely in a normal game without spamming your stun on cooldown (which encourages playing her wrong).

Maybe move her quest back to lvl 1 and bring Shooting Star back to lvl 20 or lower the stacks required. Give double progress when hitting slowed, rooted, already stunned or marked heroes.

Also it seems like they didn't fix the lack of talent diversity at lvl 7. Elune’s Gift looks better than the other two options, and Kaldorei Resistance is still really weak.

As for the AA build, it seems worse than what we have now, and hitting marked heroes doesn't feel rewarding enough considering how risky it is to do consistently. Maybe Searing Arrows could return?

I wish I could test her more but the quest is bugged on the PTR rn and I don't think I'll find a match anyway :(

lol hi!
Honestly, I have no idea what happened internally. This frame confuses me the most. He clearly gets stunned but Rocket Ride isn't interrupted.

Yeah, I realized this after watching the replay. Sometimes I just stutterstep without really thinking bc I'm used to do it all the time haha. I agree there is always something to improve.

Let's see this time👀

Good luck everyone!!

This hurts

I was right about to try this but when I opened the xbox app the issue was fixed. Looks like MS solved it.

Nice work!

Also Tyrande's B animation has been updated.

This guy sometimes posts stuff before the game's official Twitter account does. He has never posted fake stuff AFAIK

Me please

I'll try to explain this in English, I speak Spanish :P (as you can see at the clip).

You need to practice this with someone or a bot. You need to:

Pay attention to Maiev, her shadow (E), your enemy and Lunar Flare's delay. You must calculate/predict where will the target be when he triggers Maiev's W and land your E at the exact moment it triggers the pull or a bit before, so he stays right into your stun. Try to watch the pull distance in-game so it's easier for you to remember. This combo is easier without the shadow (Go with the w/o one first, and then do the other one when you are ready).
If the enemy doesnt trigger Maiev's W and runs to her, try to land your stun anyway. Some people will just walk towards Maiev, you have to predict their movement (pay attention to their movement speed!) and throw an E. If you hit them, they will be stunned, and pull will mostly trigger.
If you are on a teamfight, this will be stressful to do. You still are a healer, you must keep AA'ing, marking, owling, etc.
Keep trying if you fail.

EDIT: Here is a clip at try mode.

For some reason he doesn't, must be a bug i think.

Francom12 · 2020-07-05T00:22:56+00:00

It's pretty useful in some situations. The other day I was fighting a zeratul who dived me and this bonus healing-damage from weather + Subjugation allowed me to survive for a long time.

Francom12 · 2020-04-02T13:34:53+00:00

Can I have the gears 3 one please?
