When they initially reworked Falstad his W stacked off merc camps. It was one of the funnest and most frustrating weeks to play the game in recent memory. People were getting 200+stacks, continual resets, entire team wipes. It was super broken and changed pretty quickly.
Oh so thats why its now incredibly hard to fully stack it? It was nerfed and arguably too hard? Seriously, I was still unable to get it fully stacked even in ARAM
When was this roughly? Cuz I remember playing this in an Aram and remember stacking off every tick. Not from the 4th on. And by the end of the game I just deleted the tank in one cast of my w.
Feels like one of those builds that's incredibly situational; A very melee-heavy enemy team on a smaller map where you're constantly scrapping it's probably viable and fairly easy to complete
After the rework that introduced the lighting rod quest, you could stack it not only on heroes, but also camps (and maybe buildings, can't recall). The lighting talents increased damage even more than they do now, so you could safely farm stacks on a camp for 5 minutes and then go into the second objective fight and nuke the tank.
On the foundry map, got the W build stack done when the enemy team wins the big robot. Was getting easy quest stacks off the big robot. Then you can easily kill the team with lightning after lightning.
I wish you got stacks from basic attacking your lightning rod target. Only getting stacks after 3 hits means at first you can only get 2 stacks per W, and if the enemy team doesn't just sit in it without focusing you it's so hard to get up to 75 - its so rare that the team comps make W the better build over either other one
Loving the vids! Would you consider a macro decision making video? I think this is my biggest gap, when to soak/when to take camps/when to join a team fight/when to push/when to push obj. Ect.. Thanks!
@@callumfinlayson-palmer8393 This, after 13 the team got several kills when he only got 2 lightning strikes off. This quest actually punishes you for killing quickly.
Resets used to be on as soon as you took it. They deemed it OP, which is was, and so now it's impossible to get practically speaking. Wish there was an adjustment that you get like 2 stacks or something if a target hero dies while being hit by lightning I think it would be more reasonable to stack.
Well, first, that would be irrelevant to HotS since it has multiple characters who are canonically dead already. And second, I believe there was this whole story(?) where a fan explained that Falstad could actually feasibly survive whatever event he supposedly died in (sry, I've never played WoW), and the devs actually acknowledged it and returned Falstad to the game alive and placed a historian named after the fan somewhere around him. Or maybe I have been fed misinformation and this never happened. Either way, HotS don't care about canonical death, I guess 💀
@kindatim Yeah, Ben is referencing a moment in dialogue between the red shirt guy and Chris Metzen. He isn’t actually asking about Falstaad being dead. FYI.
Is there a hybrid build for Fastad that focuses on PvE? Maybe it starts as a hammer build but you get the extra lightning casts and 25% damage? Great video as alway Pally. Keep up the great work.
Yeah I think the w quest isn't even really dependent on completion. By the time all of the strikes happen it's basically off CD. It will never be the last hit in a teamfight and by the time it's complete you're not dueling anyone in lane, so the reset is irrelevant.
For the next vids could you swap skins please? Long time viewer here(i know you have every last one of them) and i really want to see your collection. TY and congrats on this absolutely divine work Pally.
There are a number of quests like falstads that are kinda of pointless too have an end goal. They set the requirements so high that to actual finish it requires you to almost ignore everything else and held the time the game ends before you can. Nazeebo is kinda of like that, though his is a lvl 20 payoff but depending on the map it’s stupid to get it done. I tend to avoid him because of that.
Pally going the philosopher route when he saw his stats..."What is damage anyway?"

Yup it was the most broken build along side valla multishot . Both got dmg nerf but Falstad had it worst.
It also had a stupid long leash period, so if you had vaguely present reaction time, it was almost impossible to shake off the W

That Lúcio burned himself on the altar for your success.
matty with some massive hooks towards the end of that game and poor lucio constantly being baited by pally and his team xD
Until 18:30 MattyP's hooks had been *so* clutch but hadnt happened to Pally yet, GG MattyP, if you watch these and see this.

Issue being, a melee heavy enemy team in a smaller map where there's a bunch of fighting...even better for boomerang
19:02 That was one hell of a playmaker flight! One of a kind play :D

Ok, got a chuckle out of the pivot on "He has three builds that are pre..tty well defined!"
5:44 You should see how many times I do that with KelThuzad's chains
Can't wait to see the good old auto attack build again :)

Thanks!
Lightning Rod Level 1 needs a redesign so, so badly.
Agreed. I say let it gain stacks after 2 hits OR gain stacks when you Basic attack your W target
Or even if lightning kills give 3 stacks or something.

No it doesn't
That ending was very overkill. Boss towers and 5 man.
Ah yes, good old Air Muradin
Great Job as always!!!
My most favourite build for falstad is Q build but take the lightning rod talents at 7 and 13.
"Let's gust these guys off?" gotta be a better way to say that
I wish that Pally didn't leave out regen globes as often as he does. His team has to pick them up for him in most cases.

ive been working on aa lvl one then lightning rod talents with cdr for solo laner

Great game!
Don't worry about the damage stat you did NOVA DAMAGE
They should just set the cap to 150 and make every charge count to the goal
I mean, if they got to level 40 he might have finished the quest.

that Uther was pure shit.
Whoo first! Love your energy man!
Dude... The globes... Please...
Love you Pally but watching you leave the top tower to Samuro alone to get jumped by the enemy team when you were killing walls was hell.
I mean, he had ult but it would have been a 2v5, what was he supposed to do? Stalling them for 2 seconds gives like an extra 3 hits from tower.
Bro that Lucio got jipped , more kills and kill participation, basically same damage and like 40% hero damage healed😄poor guy
Do sylvanas.
