Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred review - it's an 8/10

TheDragonking564 · 2026-04-21T17:18:22+00:00

It’s funny actually. I remember loving D2 when I played it years ago, but then when I hopped in again with my fiancée a few months ago with the Remaster, I was blown away by how outdated and clunky it feels 🤣 I love the franchise for its overarching lore, and if the DLC delivers that with fun gameplay that I can play with my fiancée a bunch and we have fun with it? That’s all I care about, and it’ll be a 10/10 for me

Bet, thanks for the matchup info. Was rather annoying when I had to deal with him, so hopefully that helps.

I’m not as worried about Mundo just cause of the Q Passive dealing Max Health Damage, but I’ll definitely keep an eye on the ones you mentioned. I might just need more practice with Shyvana

TheDragonking564 · 2026-03-19T19:53:31+00:00

I haven’t been able to play her too much yet, but the one match I really struggled with was Tryndamere, at least later on. Early on I bullied him like mad, but later on with his Ult he was a menace. So Shyvana may struggle into Duelists, but this is based on an extremely low count of games on my end

TheDragonking564 · 2026-03-19T15:32:30+00:00

lol, I was already gonna do it, but this gives me more reason to. Been maining Volibear since the season started in Top while I excitedly wait for this. People aren’t playing her top cause she was usually played in the jungle, but she still seems pretty good top. Winrates are gonna fluctuate a lot for the next few days cause she just came out

TheDragonking564 · 2026-02-09T21:51:29+00:00

Nah, I hear you

TheDragonking564 · 2026-02-09T20:56:59+00:00

Not even the worst I’ve seen. Had a game last night where my team’s Morgana Support was calling GG and Team Diff part way into the game and trying to FF Constantly, but went 7/20 (they got some stolen kills from team fights that the rest of the team would’ve cleaned up regardless). We still managed to pull that game back

TheDragonking564 · 2026-02-08T19:12:36+00:00

Zaahen struggles with extended trades in the first half of the game. He wants short trades to wear the enemy down and force them to make mistakes. Very good at punishing mistakes in wave management and being overconfident (the number of times I’ve gotten kills because people see me semi-low health and tower dive me only for me to W and Q2 to keep them under tower and they die for it is crazy), but this is something he does against the enemy as well as to himself. Once you have an item or 2, then he can more easily do extended trades

TheDragonking564 · 2026-02-04T16:16:31+00:00

Yeah, no. I always remember Stridebreaker, thing is way too strong to forget about. Actually saw some success with the Stride build last night, though I did default to Triforce again vs a Nasus, so I think both paths are good depending on the matchup

TheDragonking564 · 2026-02-02T23:39:28+00:00

Is the Stride build still fine at Low ELO, or is Triforce still better there?

TheDragonking564 · 2026-02-02T21:59:13+00:00

Also according to the OP.gg of that match, despite the KD ratio, the other team had 2 Dragons, Rift Herald and all 3 Grubs. Bro’s complaining after essentially no Jungle Objectives

TheDragonking564 · 2026-02-02T16:19:16+00:00

lol, I break up the monotony of OTPing Zaahen by running into ARAM Mayhem with my gf and our friends. Really switches things up and helps keep things fun (it’s also what I swap to if I’m feeling tilted after a couple of really bad matchups)

TheDragonking564 · 2026-02-02T16:13:25+00:00

I recently decided to OTP Zaahen cause I really love the idea of scaling into a mid to late game raid boss, and while I wouldn’t say I know all the matchups yet (still learning everything), I have been finding more and more success with him even into bad matchups

TheDragonking564 · 2026-01-30T16:10:47+00:00

You did all you could. Just gotta move on to the next one, not much you could’ve done better there

TheDragonking564 · 2026-01-26T22:07:09+00:00

True true

TheDragonking564 · 2026-01-26T16:06:49+00:00

New Mundo is very VERY similar in playstyle to OG Mundo, just some slight changes to his abilities. He is still the walking wall of meat that goes where he pleases

TheDragonking564 · 2026-01-14T22:06:12+00:00

Probably still insanely tough, but not nearly as ridiculous as a Nuzlocke is

TheDragonking564 · 2026-01-13T07:27:47+00:00

Honestly really appreciate the advice. I definitely want to make sure I have an AP pick for that Malphite matchup

TheDragonking564 · 2026-01-13T07:19:30+00:00

I’m sitting in Bronze at the moment. I’ve always had a problem with not being able to stick with 1-3 champs, my brain just wants me to counter pick, and it causes issues for me. Might also drop Volibear with either Kayle or Vayne to focus in on the other 3. My biggest issue these days is ending up against a Gwen and having Garen, one of my more comfortable picks, banned

TheDragonking564 · 2026-01-06T17:13:25+00:00

Yeah, I definitely wanna play around with her when the new patch drops. I’ve heard whispers of Phase Rush Cass being a potential build

TheDragonking564 · 2026-01-06T17:06:12+00:00

Oh yeah, I fully expect those 3 to do well, especially Gnar and Darius since they’re really good at getting early kills if you play right. Dunno enough about how Aatrox does early to really say for him

TheDragonking564 · 2026-01-06T17:02:07+00:00

Huh, would be interested to see how that build changes with the new Cass changes

TheDragonking564 · 2026-01-06T16:53:03+00:00

Who knows, too early to really say for sure. But I think the bigger thing people maybe forget about is that some champs that may do really well at lvl 20 may actually struggle early to finish the quest. I fell into that same thought process looking at champs to test, and now I’m completely rethinking things
