@angussharington2374 its possible! They did that update and huge bug fix, I like to think it may be to make it as clean of a slate as possible for HotS 3.0
Arthas was my first char I got to the gold ring. and I kept him my highest level char. Obviously one of my favorites too. One of my best memories of hots is one time someone typed in chat "This is the best Arthas I have ever seen!"
I've been playing so much hots recently and love it. I like playing Arthas quite a bit but I use a totally different build. I pick eternal hunger and then buff his death coil.
So glad you kept up playing, Pally! :) And now that hope is kindled after 2 rapid yet relatively big patches, I hope your channel also gets more HotS viewers and content (in whichever order)
This is legitimately my favorite game of all time. Most fun I’ve had. Only close competition would be Halo or MW back with homies in the LAN or local split screen days. I’ve actually made several very good friends playing the game as well. Community is 95% awesome.
Arfus was always a go-to for me in HotS. He's generally had at least 2 viable ways to play him, and it's always felt like such a solid, simple kit. Freeze people. Smack them hard with Frostmourne. Laugh while they try to kill you through massive sustain. Then coil them in the face for good measure. Plus it's freakin' Arthas. Who doesn't want to play as one of the greatest Big Bads? Even though AotD is more often than not the 'right' ult, it feels so wonderful when you can afford to summon your pet dragon. You can catch a lot of teams sleeping on the massive initiation tool since most people go ghouls.
One small tip I would like to add with arthas is that your passive does act as an auto attack reset. This means if you auto and then immediately press the passive you will smack them twice very quickly. A great way to boost your damage and it adds up especially when running rune tap and an auto attack based build. Also while healing in base you might as well accelerate the healing if you have a bunch of mana by using your q for self healing
Hey Polly, I don't know if you know this, but if you attack a hero under the tower, the tower will directly attack you. It doesn't matter if you have minions around it so long as you hit a hero. It will turn its gaze upon you. Just give you a little fun fact
Damn as a player since beta, it's sad to see that in my 2 year absence from the game, they've almost completely stopped updating the game, what's most frustrating that I was at least hoping for a few more heroes when I returned but nothing, hopefully the latest updates are a sign of returning the game to it's former glory, would be cool. Anyway man watching you since forever glad you're still doing HoTS videos. Keep em' comin'
I really enjoyed playing arthas with an auto attack focused build looking at maximising his passive talents, attack speed talent, and heal on every 3rd auto talents. It can be hard into some matchups, but it sprikes super hard early on and the attack speed and healing is crazy (and you slow everyone around you). The issue, as always with Arthas, is burst and being kited by hyper mobile champs.
Forts and Keeps focus on enemy heroes who damaged one of their allied heroes, even if there are enemy minions in range. This means the Army zombies are lower priority than Arthas who hits Muradin under Muradin's keep.
@pally I know you are not going to hard commit to doing another A-Z let alone A-Z with like 3 different builds for all the heroes. But I think you got a good concept going, just play the heroes you like, maybe ones you neglected but want to try more of or heroes with legit different builds. I know you never really gelled with muradin much but the changes to his talents, how the quests work and everything I think you might have a good time you got tank build, E build, bruiser with haymaker and a full stun combi build as a for instance. It would also give you an excuse to make at least 2 more illidan videos with hunt and meta XD ....
Im an Arthas main is anyone else out there the same? i check every arthas i run in to's profile and no one ever plays many games with him, anyone else know about going stacks with deathcoil then getting the -15 arm talent on the W? you can nuke mages down so fast its funny af
I'm a fairly new player to hots and your videos have been so helpful. I would love to see a new a-z series again!
I am still dreaming of a Microsoft Hots renaissance and with that we could get a new A-Z
Once I get a working computer of my own, I hope to run into you, Pally, or fan
We shall see a revival! If they just put effort into education for new players the game will really shine.
@@forsalebyowner5721 there are legends they dropped a new patch

my man *fist bump*
I'm very sad that they killed the game. It came out when I was 14
why are you playing with only a single build?
@@ghosterman3932because his other ones are useless

I kinda hate the build he chose lmao.
You mean exactly like he said at 3:00?

I am very interested in your Arthas builds series. He is one of the heroes I never managed to wrap my head around
I can't believe Matty betrayed you like that :(
@solvent3966 Matty is super good at the game lol, played it so much he just trolls sometimes
Don’t even play HotS anymore, but always back for your vids. Thanks for a fun time in the nexus pally

At 13 the armor reduction on W can be really good especially with AA teams like the one you had here. Still E talent is a good and solid choice

I tried Army a few times, never liked it. Sindragosa for the win always. For cold builds it also synergizes better with the theme.
one of my favorite tanks
Death's advance on lvl 20 is no joke. 60% movement speed reduction will make your enemies move and AA like slugs
Ive been watching your videos for years. Finally, someone doing a series of builds rather than the "Best build now" type video..
#HOTS2🙏
Always loved arthas in hots. Played the frostmourne build though.
Doh was on a mission to murder that slug
That Haymaker into nuke was sick tho
1:42 Matty, this is not 'Nam, this is HOTS, there are rules.
Great job!!!
Forts and Keeps focus on enemy heroes who damaged one of their allied heroes, even if there are enemy minions in range. This means the Army zombies are lower priority than Arthas who hits Muradin under Muradin's keep.
Need to see more HOTS!
Arthas has such a fun kit.
You enjoyed that Abathur kill way too much!!! MUHAHAHA!!!
Are you hyped that HOTS has been getting some action in the form of a couple of huge patches recently?
Woah, is picking up the xp off the ground like super new?
Nothing is super new with HotS anymore, but it was one of the last updates a few years ago.
Did you notice that Hots actually got a patch?
true E build goes trait level one so that E can stay on literally all game, try it out!
Apple Juice, Chocolate Syrup, Yellow Soda

Ha, sometimes Arthas feels like a tanky melee assassin.
I miss hots 😢
fun one
Hi Pally :)
They nerfed my boy leoric its so over
GG, Arthas is the best. The END
I learned that i love you. Wait already knew that... crap i learned nothing
Comments for the comment god! Algorithms for the algorithm throne!
got boosted :)
Random comment for channel interaction.
Are you guys play with a group? I deleted the game... I always get some wierd teams + afk + non soak and so toxic people in chat.
QM these days: Abathur in every second match. That’s why I almost exclusively play ARAM only. Just boring.
What a horrible mistake. No...
the heck? this isnt a rogue lite, pally doesnt play other games does he :P?
My first "first!" :)
Oh wow!
