I think this might be my first time in a video! I've only been able to join 2-3 games ever across the last few years, but this was a lot of fun! (I was the Artanis)
It's always impressive how much of a force Azmodan can be, the sheer pressure he can put on the enemy team cannot be ignored and most of his builds can be effective at both pushing and dishing heavy damage to heroes.
Ah, Azmodan -- he went through a lot of reworks through the years, but he was always oppressive in the right hands. My favorite was the old Sieging Wrath rework: hit 20 heroes, get 200 damage and extra range. It could usually finish right before 10 to pick up Black Pool, trading Azmo's traditional late game power for a mid-game power spike instead. In quick play, that sharp power spike could snowball the game and help wrap it up before even level 16.
Pally just a quick note, the best part about the lvl 1 talent (that you didnt mention) is the CDR that comes with it, hitting large group allows you to dunk repeatedly fairly quickly - also keep it mind it work on minions too, if you notice the talent does not refer to heroes
Hey Pally, just wanted to say how great your commentary/game play videos are. You actually got me into HotS and I m currently an absolute NPC on quick matches. Keep up the great content!
A lil helpful tip is that you can use the trait through the minimap - you just need to click on where you see a minion wave, so it saves needing to move the whole screen. Also I have to suggest trying the AA talent at 7 - I think it's really slept on. It might be a little weaker at sustaining mana or waveclear ease while laning, but it really helps add stacks and poke damage when fighting even without the AA talent at 1. But the best bit is that it works without even hitting anything, which means it can really speed up taking camps.
Use the exploding E talent at lvl 7 for three lane maps. Dunk the wave and E the center of it. Takes a little practice, but stacks are gained quite fast. You can ask for some help with wave clear until lvl 7.
Ayyy! Literally last night after watching your Kael'thas video I was sitting there thinking of which hero would be the best for giant groups. And I saw Azmodan and... it was awesome. First time in all my time playing Azmo that I got up to 400 stacks, and that was /before/ level 13. We lost, but it was incredible. It was an Azmo mirrormatch too!
I got kind of burned out after playing Heroes Of The Storm relentlessly for years, but damned it watching your videos doesn't make me want to fire it back up again.
Fun fact (I think) 'The Red Spaghetti' was coined by Tay Zonday (If I remember it correctly - it was in the old squadron days and they were Q'ing, they fond Tay Zonday playing HotS and they lost their minds)
friendly note to captain pally, you can activate azmodan's trait demon by hitting d with your mouse over the minion wave on the map even if you have your ability to click on the map disabled.
I think the other level 1 talent allows you to stack up to 500 but on minions and kills which pays beautifly considering the lvl 20 talent. And all of a sudden your dunk does an absurd 1500+ damage
I’ve been playing this game for quite awhile…in QM I have a 60% win rate (over 3500 games played) with Azmo, Gaz, and Zagara. The summons heroes (fire and forget) are so OP
Funny the tricks you learn despite watching one of my favourite heroes. Didn't know you could summon a general or whatever it's called anywhere on the map (near friendly minions). Then again, I mostly play ARAM now so not necessarily as relevant, but I love coming back to your vids man!
I made this comment years ago but Pally you can use your trait on a minion in a lane using the mini map rather than panning over to the lane itself. Just target a blue circle on the mini map
Hey Pally, I noticed you jumping the screen to different lanes to use your trait sometimes mid-fight, maybe you were just trying to be cinematic for youtube lol - but in case you didn't know: you can put your mouse on the minion wave on the minimap and hit D and it'll spawn it for ya without having to move the screen away =)
You can use your trait without having to change your camera. Just click on your trait and click on the mini-map to place him near a current friendly wave.
You say it could of been better on a 3 lane map but having on the 2 lanes and on this map in particular its pretty much a constant death ball meaning you could stack stupidly fast
Great video bro! But “Art of Chaos” at lvl 7 is a dead talent in my opinion , ones your fully stacked it serves no purpose and Azmodan never has mana issues late game, this game is a prim example of that. But other than that keep up the HOTS videos!
I am not well, my ping in Hots is 200 min most of the time and is at like 4-6 in combat maxed at over 1000 and this is on all 3 servers North America, Europe and Asia. Blizzard sucks at helping me find the problem and by that I mean they do nothing but then again I did pay nothing so... D2R and D3 work fine. How do I fix Hots or get Blizzard to talk to me about it? The support page step 3 had links to help but it was only for Diablo Immortal and I am not joking about this.
amm actualy i think azmudan is BETTER on 2 lane maps, just pick gluttony and all the rest of the talents that you picked and i can sometimes get to 400 stacks in under 10 minutes, i find greed to be prty boring tbh, so that's why i always go gluttony , it teaches you how to aim thous Qs much faster than greed since greed kind of forces you to focus more on minions, allowing the eneamy more chances to roll you over, but if you go gluttony you focus more the heroes and only some minions, BUT due to the fact that they got hit a little bit more there hp is lower so they can't dive you as easly as before
One does not simply play azmodan without a basketball skin. They are the only acceptable skins for the discerning HOTS enjoyer. I still maintain that two lane maps are an abomination and all maps should have at least 3 lanes. A lot of people in this game don't know about the minimap DLC.
I think this might be my first time in a video! I've only been able to join 2-3 games ever across the last few years, but this was a lot of fun! (I was the Artanis)
S#$%! S#$@! S@%=! Artanis!
Shouldnt force ktz to lane against samuro tho
@@Draven.G bruh, I haven't played qm in almost 2 years. I was just trying to contribute and not feed
I willingly went to face him and can stack just fine against him
@@samarmstrong3651 its ok just advice xD

Actually, the CDR when hitting minions is 0.25s. When hitting heroes it doubles.
@@deiniporto True but you still get CDR regardless, so hitting things is good :)

NEVER STOP THESE SERIES. I know Blizz did, but you should not do it, even if its once per year an A-Z! Its lovely how you play it.

Samuro is a KT'zd wet dream, two clones who aren't moving mean EZ quest stacks, on CD.
"our mana department is being laid off"
that got a real laugh out of me
Use the exploding E talent at lvl 7 for three lane maps. Dunk the wave and E the center of it. Takes a little practice, but stacks are gained quite fast. You can ask for some help with wave clear until lvl 7.
Another reason Az is great against deathballs is that he can be participant in a team fight, while still pushing lanes with Lieutenants or globes.
I miss HOTS they have some of the best characters in a MOBA like Nazeebo or Leoric, I wish they cared enough to bring this game back from the dead...
Amazing Daniel is my favorite character to play. I’m very stoked for Pally playing him!
Ayyy! Literally last night after watching your Kael'thas video I was sitting there thinking of which hero would be the best for giant groups. And I saw Azmodan and... it was awesome.

I get this feeling Pally likes making circles of death for the enemy
Edit: Hey it’s my build! I’m very happy to see this!
I got kind of burned out after playing Heroes Of The Storm relentlessly for years, but damned it watching your videos doesn't make me want to fire it back up again.
Pally, if you haven’t tried it yet… greed at level 1 with the splodey spaghetti talent at 7? makes for amazing lane clear AND aoe damage.
4:16 "it just send two little denizens of hell forward; they were immediately sacrificed"
Fun fact (I think) 'The Red Spaghetti' was coined by Tay Zonday (If I remember it correctly - it was in the old squadron days and they were Q'ing, they fond Tay Zonday playing HotS and they lost their minds)
Always great to play with you and the other viewers.
One another good mention, is that you can cast W when channeling E. Important hint when using other builds.

anybody else hear a double layer voice when pally says "Art!" at 20:20? lol
The Anduin was certainly putting in some work with that much healing, but the siege damage for pally was just incredible.

Gotta say you were really on point this game, very enjoyable, keep it up!

7:45 that's what dreams are made of
seriously satisfying game to watch! good mix of map/objective macro and team fighting. thanks for the upload pally

That chunky 13k dunk felt SO satisfying.
15:30 Blaze didn't escape the big slash.
I miss playing HOTS
Jaina would be good against the death ball strategy too. I don’t play hots anymore but I still love watching your videos
I refer to Li Li as that "little monochrome bear witch." :P
Pally was blessed enough to have Thrillhouse on his team. What a great day.
52% seige holyyyyy. Do this same build again on a 3 lane! Would love to see it.
You say it could of been better on a 3 lane map but having on the 2 lanes and on this map in particular its pretty much a constant death ball meaning you could stack stupidly fast
I find it easier to get 400 stacked on a map like this than 3 lanes, 4 enemies together always seems to get more and more stacks.
Demon build azmo used to be my favorite thing ever then they got rid of a lot of his demon talents
I salute you sir Pally, you probably do more to keep the game alive than than bucking Blizzard
"our mana department has been laid off" lmao
how many active players this game have?
is it alive still, i sued to play it in past, i am thinking about returning dont know if it still playabe
You've become so much better with use of Asmo trait. And you weren't bad before either!
Are you gonna do more Deep Rock Galactic? I downloaded it after i saw you play it. Keep up the good work!
bro when you use E start to instant walk forward dont lose that 1s every time :) stil cool content keep it up hots ftw
I like how this is secretly about trying to instruct the community how to fight deathball so hopefully people stop deathballing every single match :P
Great video bro! But “Art of Chaos” at lvl 7 is a dead talent in my opinion , ones your fully stacked it serves no purpose and Azmodan never has mana issues late game, this game is a prim example of that. But other than that keep up the HOTS videos!
Who needs new skins more Ragnaros or Probius
2 lane map with samuro couls you ask for anything more ( i guesss if they had nova and TLV but still)
Nice match Pally :D
Would love to see a siege build game
i always work when you stream but love the vids nonetheless :D
Wait.... when did you open all the chests and spend all the gold?!
Ghoulish Daniel and Amazing Daniel would be best for taking down the death ball.. the Dans
i love youtr HotS videos! just for the record i would not mind if you would make 2 Keal'Tas videos in a row (or more... or eany other character)
I may have to start playing salami and amazing Daniel from here on out.
Love the Amazing Dancer!!!

HOTS!! LET'S GO!!
fenix is also a good anti deathballer
Instant like and comment for Nazeeebo!
Azmo is meatball against tracer/genji
how does this video have more views than hots has players? is it just shock value?
Them some dunks.
THAT game can be referred to as EZ
azmodan my main, so fun
Dunktastic!
They just left you open to drain 3s all day
good ol bruiser making mage go offlane :)
amazballs
you didn't finish a-z sneaky pally you still have a gal video left
Let's gooooo
Random comment for channel interaction.
I'm a LoL player and thought It was Urgot on the thumbnail. Sorry.
i see you have colorblind activated, your eyes burn like hell to? idk why but hots kill my eyes and brain lol, my eyes burn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
danielablo
Amazzziiinnggg .hoi.
You lét your team many times in tf…. Wtf.
Well, it's not a dunk. It's a jump shot. Stop calling it dunk.
Instead of switching your camera to put your D in the other lane, just click on the mini map where you want your D to go.
Stop supporting fratguys getting drunk on breastmilk.
Stop it. Seek help.
I mostly watched this cause i didn't know people still play this trash game
fun to me :)
My most played hero, he's crazy strong.
HOTS!! LET'S GO!!
