This match confirms a question I had: when rolling for tank or bruiser/melee hero, would it require a Varian pick have to go taunt if it were given during a tank roll? And TB/CS if picked for a bruiser roll? I'm personally not fond of them getting to pick, as it gives them more variability than other picks. Even if Varian is only optioned for tank picks, and people just forgo a tank; in certain comps, that can be a powerful choice that others don't get
Как так можно??? Вторая катка, поймали свою игру и так бездарно её слили!!! Я половину второй игры говорил ЗАЧЕМ!!!?? Там 4 в 5, 3 в 5, в соло против фуллки!! Нафига!!! Ужас
THAT guy in the comments (thanks for recognizing me lol). Artanis is bad, but if you have to play him, laser ult isn't as bad as everyone claims *situationally. Neither ult is amazing. Aoe blind is about as useful as johanna blind - good for an interrupt and not much else. Damage mediocre, duration short. Laser is nigh worthless save for channel interrupt on objective until lvl 20. But then it forces continuous stutter stepping which vs an immobile hero like tassadar does carry some weight - more than a single aoe blind does vs a genji. It's like the resource inefficient but apm efficient base harassment in starcraft 2 of a zergling runby. Some value is better than effectively no value. Sincerely, the guy who made bw popular (for a few years now) in competitive tournaments. Not to mention the experimental alternative diablo, arthas, and leoric talent choices you've been seeing over the past few years (in your tournaments) to name a few. There is logic to the madness.
What are you talking about? Arthanis aoe blind is a lot better than jhoanna. You can cancel all aa damage from the whole team for 4 seconds. Enemy arthanis can't refuse CD with aa during this time, enemy tassadar can't use his archon etc. it saves a lot of hp to your team.
Artanis is not great, but it is not that bad. The laser can be good for zoning a specific hero in a specific situation and burst damage that you get from stacking at one is decent. However, what makes me put artanis as a solid B tier and not just absolute mediocre is the PvE talent at one that really helps you in BoE and obliterating bosses.
@@superstar5042 Uh, no. Johanna blind is up way more often and you can have 2 charges - meaning comparable blind duration and more interrupt potential. But then we have actually THINKING. Mages don't primarily deal damage with their aa's. Tassadar can go other ult or simply hold and see if people take blind. Plus, lvl 20 ult forces constant stutter stepping and keeping away from his allies to avoid dragging laser through them - which offers at minimum comparable disruption to a teamfight. On the other side, we have physical damage carries who again... rely on SPELLS for most of the damage. Spells that... DON'T have their damage blocked or reduced by a blind. Thus, the value again is minimal and in no way better than a well-timed and utilized laser. If they had a tychus or reynor perhaps I'd say differently as both of them are more aa-reliant.
The blue team absolutely no idea how to play hots.

Imo taunt Varian is a very solid tank option, but the other too are just meme garbage even as bruisers.
Not even smash, that one sucks too
Wow, that hurt so much watching ;-), staggered deaths galore is the name of the game.
Oh man this second game decisions are epic haha
Hi Khaldor when new tournament? I miss my weekend with hots and the best streamer.
The end of game 2 was hard to watch

@@nitram3656 And killing walls/forts. It's no samuro, but yeah it puts in some nice work if you get uninterrupted time on boss/camp/fort.
This game still exists? Last time I tried to play I waited 20 minutes in queue and never actually got matched.
wut? When u played it? At 4 a.m.? I got matched in 1 minute vs AI at 00:30 a.m. (quick games and aram are even faster, rated... i dont know :-D )
@ it was a couple years ago. Quick match. Middle of the afternoon eastern time.
