      I enjoy his thoughts on all these, too, but it would be nice, if he knew the stats of abilities better. He missed the armor and health of Avatar and the mana cost of Big Bad Voodoo. It's hard to take this list seriously, if he doesn't know all the data for his judgement.

      It sort of reminds me of what happened with Lexiav, a somewhat well known Heroes of Might and Magic 3 player.
      I adore these tier lists on my beloved old games. Really fills me with a sense of nostalgia, and it makes me want to play them again!
      And I really hope that Grubby will go crazy with the tier lists to the level that Lexi did. Both WC3 and HoMM3 are very complex games, so there's certainly a possibility for that.
      Heck, Grubby could even make tier lists about community created stuff. Like, how good some custom races, units, items and heroes would be, from campaigns like Curse of the Forsaken, Shadows of Hatred, Malfurion's Quest, etc, etc...
      I'd also be really interested to hear about the potential power that DotA Allstars heroes would have within melee maps (of course, with them having a max level of 10, and the normal 3-3-3-1 skill point setup of basegame Warcraft heroes).
      There's just a lot of all-around potential here. I don't care that tier lists are regarded as "low effort content", they're still so fricking fun!

    One thing about resurrection: it allows humans to go above the 100 food cap. Be at 100, kill 6 of your knights, queue up 24 more food worth of units, resurrect the knights. Now, you're going to be charging into a battle with 124 food of army. Considering that players might have 20 food of workers, you're talking about 104 food vs. 80 food worth of units. That is...*substantial*. Granted, this is more an application in FFA when resources run high, but considering FFA is 1v1v1v1...
    And as for mass teleport, again, absolute S tier in FFA--perhaps S+ tier in FFA...you mass a bunch of towers, and then you just STOP engaging the opponent in handshake battles--you JUST mass teleport them, and force them to either constantly burn 350 gold town portals (not sustainable), or chase you into a bunch of towers (not advisable).
    Though in 1v1, it's more the case that if you only have a couple of bases and much more limited resources, your opponent can just smash *you* in the face instead.

    This list reminds me of some of the cool old custom maps for WC3 that had hero builder stuffs where one could pick any skills they'd like before the match started. I think the main ones were usually called "angel arena" or other variations of "arena" etc. Bash, evasion, crit strike were usually top picks, those maps almost always had tons of stat boosting from items or insane exp gain. Imagine thousands of points of each stat. They ended up looking like DBZ fights not too long after the matches started. XD

    What I like about Tornado is that it sort of shows how channeled spells should have worked, every channeled spell should let you control the spell while your hero is occupied. Especially with Big Bad Voodoo... maybe you could designate a 'dancer' other than the Shadow Hunter (with whom it starts) that is 'vulnerable' and if it is killed the spell ends, so you micro the 'dancer' (de)buff/designation around to keep it going.
    Basically enable a mini-game for channeling heroes.

      I would ask you to consider that SC2 showed the gaming world that splash damage easily dominates the meta and they didn't care. HotS and LotV unit design are a product of not addressing the real issue before you add new units. This is unlike the creators of WC3 who capped splash damage, yeah...
      Disruptors are simply an attempt to add unit diversity without nerfing splash as a whole.

  • @Sabs215
    @Sabs215 3 месяца назад +3

    Tornado having such a high mana cost directly negates the usefullness of mana shield, it's the only ability I've seen you use where it just felt straight up disappointing. Voodoo being a close second because like you said before, it basically tells the opponent what decision they need to immdiately make.

  • @Murkshadow
    @Murkshadow 3 месяца назад +4

    I would say Big Bad Voodoo is the D tier ultimate. It's making the unit you want to protect the most into a target. It requires you to position extremely well to get even an ounce of use out of it, as your opponent can either just move away or interrupt the Shadow Hunter instantly without committing anything (Starfall will at least get a bit of damage in).
    The only reason you never feel how bad it really is, is because you're almost always in a winning position when your secondary hero gets his ultimate, and so you can usually afford to pick it. But if you are Shadow Hunter first/solo, it legitimately is better to just get another point in Serpent Ward/Healing Wave. Even a level 1 Healing Wave has more impact than an instantly interrupted Big Bad Voodoo.
    If Orc heroes weren't so strong and buffing the Shadow Hunter by any metric would mean making them even stronger, then I would give Big Bad Voodoo the Tranquility treatment and just slash the Mana Cost and Cooldown to 125/60 from 200/180. But the Shadow Hunter suffers from having all good skills, where getting a level +7 Shadow Hunter actually makes a huge difference while other heroes all get an irrelevant skill (like what's the substantial difference between a level 10 Lich with Dark Ritual and a level 6 Lich with a Mana Potion).

  • @AccordingtoVin
    @AccordingtoVin 3 месяца назад +5

    Is this a crazy thought? What if all WC3 heros had an option of 4 ults to choose from. Either the ult that we all know and love that already exists or a 4th and ultimate level of one of their 3 existing abilities, once the choice is made it is perminant and of course the player can only choose to make a 4th level of the ult that they already chose it to be level 3 when their hero turned level 5. So for example with far seer if you decided to go level 3 wolves at level 5 hero, when your hero turns level 6, you could choose level 4 wolves that will have say 750 HP each 90 sec life span, 30-35 attack 400 movement speed (if this is chosen it cannot be undone with any item and earthquake cannot be chosen). Of course if the player decided to go level 3 chain lightning they would then have the choice to go level 4 with similar devistating ulttimate increases. I think this would add a cool eliment to the game.

    Which version should I get? The original, or Reforged?

    • @ottokarl5427
      @ottokarl5427 3 месяца назад +1

      Reforged is the only one you can get as of now. Just disable the new graphics in the menu if you don't like them (which is true for most people).

      Huge advantage of traquility are that you can use it ouside of battle and even if you do not have army you do have heroes in most cases to heal. Both charm and transmute are really often useless in late game cause you hit this lvl6 at moment that both armies had died and there is just tripple heroes from both sides left with no gold.

    As a 2004 player who has never played competitively and been out of the game since 2008 or so... I tried making a tierlist before watching the video, and got a surprising amount of answers similar to this video. I don't know if I underestimated/overestimated some abilities, or the nerfs and buffs over the years have changed the skills that much, but you put some skills I didn't use at all in a high tier, and some that I always used in a low tier. Here's the list:
    S - Inferno
    A - Avatar, Voodoo, Death and Decay, Phoenix, Teleport, Metamorphosis, Ressurection, Bladestorm, Reincarnation
    B - Doom, Swarm, Robo-Goblin, Avatar, Stampete, Tranquility
    C - Animate dead, Charm, Starfall, Transmute, Volcano
    D - Earthquake, StormEarthFire, Tornado

    I loved how in RoC it was all about power creeping to get the ultimate and the meta was more or less mass spell casters.
    I think it was a massive improvement to cap heroes to level 5 with creeping and introducing anti spell casting units to each race (some better some worse)
    it made the games much more engaging and allowed for a greater variety of strategies. Once TfT came out I could never bring myself to play RoC instead.

    i'd make earthquake more exponential in total damage output, like instead of 60dps for 20 seconds make it 8-9 seconds channel with inceasing the damage per second by 30 each second, starting with 30
    30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, (270) = 1080 (1350) total damage.
    and i'd make bladestorm 65 mana with 3sec duration and 40 second cooldown (and probably reduce damage to 80dps so it cannot utterly destroy worker lines that easy)

  • @CC_Seig
    @CC_Seig 3 месяца назад +1

    What i would really like to see, if *you* would like to see any significant changes to hero ultimates to make them a safe pick for level 6. For example (coming from playing alot Diablo 3 in the past) i played the Witchdoctor alot and he has an ability that also is called "Big bad Voodoo", its a small stack of fetishes that buffs the player depending on the rune he has chosen, aslong he´s in the circle. ATK/Movement speed, Mana/healthregen, Armor etc.
    I could imagine something similar for the Shadowhunter, as the Witchdoctors in WC3 do actually have their totems; Healing and Stun. So why not give the Shadowhunter an actual Voodoo Totem who does similar things as in D3? Or maybe it hexes 3 random enemy Units over 6 second duration.
    Also maybe the Community might have good ideas, how some Ultimate Abilitys can be revamped and be "more useful"
    Cheers and thanks for the Video =)

  • @ocek2744
    @ocek2744 2 месяца назад

    Resurrection's problem is that it's (essentially) a heal based on number of dead units. You're always going to compare it to how much healing he could do otherwise. IMO the best way to counter this is to A. Reduce the mana cost, cooldown, and # of units it rezzes (probably down to 3, so reduce mana by half and cooldown appropriately) or give it a passive that works within its aura range. (I think immunity to guaranteed-kill effects or charms would be pretty good.)
    I was thinking that Rez could have charges (2-3) where instant-kill/charm effects are negated while there's a charge, or he can Rez a dead unit while there is a charge.

  • @Winnetou17
    @Winnetou17 3 месяца назад

    Resurrection can be use outside of combat. Like this:
    - get to 100/100 army, while having 6 or more knights
    - kill 6 of your knights
    - immediately train units to get again to 100/100
    - ressurect your 6 dead knights
    - 124/100 aka 24%+ bigger army than your opponent, easy S tier ultimate

  • @spectre9065
    @spectre9065 3 месяца назад +1

    Several of these ultimates are misplaced. Here they are:
    1. Big Bad Voodoo C -> D: You are not going to cast this in an unreachable position in 1v1, and in FFA it's too easy to 1-shot SH because everyone has air (Chippo, Wyverns, Gryphons, Gargoyles).
    2. Charm S -> A: Charm does not work on mechanical units and unlike Transmute, you can't simply waltz in and steal a unit. You have to make sure you can escape or else you feed enemy hero XP.
    3. Avatar A -> B: Mountain King is more of a caster than a combat hero. Unless you've stacked stat items on the MK you are spending mana on a modest stat boost instead of bolts/claps.
    4. Robo Goblin B -> A: Its free stat boosts and siege, coupled with immunity to most spells.
    5. Doom A -> B: Doom Guard is nowhere as strong as Infernal and lacks magic immunity. So air units kill it in 1 volley. It also takes time to spawn whereas Infernal/Transmute/Charm is instant.
    6. Volcano B -> C: This might be better than Earthquake or Death and Decay. But definitely worse than Stampede.
    Rest of your ratings are spot on.

    To anyone saying these tierlists should be shaped like a bell curve:
    A bell curve is the shape of a normal distribution. The designers of warcraft 3 did not painstakingly design ultimate abilities to be normally distributed in their effect on the game. If it turns out that most ults are either really good (As) or really bad (Ds), then that is just the way it is and the list should reflect that.
