Gotta say man, your HOTS videos are something special. I get more joy out of watching you than playing the game myself. Thanks for being you, Pally! And congrats on the wedding
I really hope they don’t. As much as I’d love the game to get more content and updates, I feel like they’ll just ruin it if they try to. Keeping it as it is on life support is probably the best place the game could be. I’ve lost all faith in Blizzard as a company because all the people that worked there that made it good have moved on. People make the company, not it’s products. Leaving the game as it is really is the best thing for those that still play. That’s coming from someone that has many thousands of matches played. I love the game, but I’m not sure I ever want them coming back to it.
People love the fantasy of being the solo carry. It's the reason why I couldn't drag anyone from any other MOBA game over to HotS, because even HotS' hardest carry doesn't hold a candle compared to the 'normal' carries outta other MOBAs.
Fun fact: Tarrasque is a massive creature with hard natural plating from D&D. The creature is famous for being hard to kill. The talent name is most likely a reference to that creature!
It's also a reference to the Heart of thr Swarm campaign in Starcraft 2. In it, you can upgrade Ultralisks to the Tarrasque strain which give them the same ability to revive upon death.
The Tarrasque was also a heroic unit in the original StarCraft. I don't think it ever made an appearance, but people used it in use map settings games.
I remember watching a Kerrigan video of yours many many years ago. It was the first video I watched from you. It even had a little heart in the title !
Bladed Momentum counts on your AoE auto-attacks. The one you took is for Q builds. At 16 Painful Spikes is usually used with Maelstrom ult. Usually with Ultralisk you take Unbridled Energy since every time it auto-attacks you get the bonus.
Love to see the Queen bring played again. I take trait at level one and run around and play her as a camp taker nowadays. The regen just makes you able to dip out and back in
Oh my, the Queen has returned :) Kerrigan is soooo different from what she used to be when Pally played her last time. In my opinion, she is the best hero in the game. Not the strongest, not the easiest, but one of the scariest, underestimated and underappreciated heroes. She is fairly squishy, has no life leech, she is mana hungry and team comp dependant. However so many people don't understand how much sustain her shield actually gives. She is a very competent duelist even with Q alone. She has a disgusting (and free) waveclear. You don't need to W the wave. She is hard to escape from. She actually has a greater range than other melee heroes. (killing guldan over the wall proves that). And her splash isn't bad. It gives permanent extra shields from your AA and you weave your AAs between the Qs anyway. I hope you have a ton of fun with her again.
Zagara was initially a foe of Kerrigan in Heart of the Swarm as she considered the latter unworthy. Kerrigan beat her and forced her to join the Swarm again. By the end of the game Zagara is a loyal ally and part of Kerrigan’s inner circle. By the end of the StarCraft 2 epilogue Zagara was chosen to be the new leader of the Swarm after Kerrigan left. Does anybody else coun the number of franchises present in a match and their relative number? Feel like you always see Warcraft in Pally’s videos which isn’t a bad thing just something I noticed.
I love Kerrigan in this game, one of the most fun to play heros, even if things can be frustrating some times depending on the opponents (both skill and amount of cc).

As someone who doesn't play the game but has watched pretty much all of Pallys videos, I guess that heroes like Varian or Genji can be a true pain to deal with for her. Stuns are of course an issue for her, but that goes for all assassins. Mobility seems to be a counter that is more specific to Kerrigan. Is my understanding right?
High mobility targets are difficult, but they probably just mean you focus on somebody else, also your q is a click to target teleport on a short cooldown, so if you time things you do have tools. Can't reliably use it to disengage though, because it needs an enemy target. The stun is almost impossible to land against targets standing next to you, and is easiest they they are walking away from you because of the delay, that gets nicely bridged by the time grasp drags them towards you. Stuns do mean no dealing damage and thus no shielding, effectively reducing your health. But yes all assassins are especially vulnerable to stuns.
Pally, if you Ravage in on a target you can alt-cast your impaling blades, and if you land your primal grasp it will pull them just enough to get stunned. Mostly helpful in melee with a bruiser team, when everyone wants to kill you. I think assimilation mastery is slept on huge. Keeps your mana and health topped off when you're split pushing
lvl 16 q works great with the lvl 7 q you took. The lvl 7 pve q lets you get a lot of shields just before a fight, or nuke a minionwave for shields during a teamfight (like the one at 7:15). Still a lot worse for teamfights of course, but it can let you do interesting things.
Pally: _"Is this it!? Is this the return of Kerrigan!? I'm the leader of the effing zerg. You can't stop me!!"_ *Deckard proceed to paint a triangle on the ground and stop him* 😅
Hi Pally, best macro build for Kerrigan is fun, 3, 3,1,2, 2, 2, 2/3 Fury to give you the aoe attack at 1 which melts big camps with painful spikes at 16 and psionic pulse at 2 Obviously Queen of blades at 7 and ultralisk at 10, 13 just go for better but shielding 20 either ulty to split push or go all in with assimilation blades
I main Kerrigan and have her over level 400. I never take ultralisk or Q quest. Double explosion on pull is the biggest damage increase at that level if you can land both explosions, which should be easy with 2 Qs, making it also the best for camps. Maelstrom + painful spikes at 16 will melt entire teams with a combo.
It is _not_ all about the combo, no. :) The _threat_ of the combo while you lay into things with AA and Q1, 7 is actually really effective. Other thoughts: don't understimate E at 4 -- turns her into a mana-efficient wave/camps machine if that's what you need because your team is derelict. 20 Psionic Shift ALWAYS (well, unless you're just messing around).
When you said you stopped playing Kerrigan after her rework, I really felt that. It's the reason I don't play Xul or Gazlowe anymore. The characters are still very viable, but I no longer enjoy the change in playstyle.
Thrall used to be my favorite, but they did a rework on him and i HATED it... never played him since. He used to be all about windfury, then they made him about chain-lightening... that nerfed his build and made him trash.
Man i really wish they added to HOTS it such a great game. Just couple more heroes or something. Its better then the state of wow and diablo 4 and it not even supported anymore.

Killing someone from 100 to 0 THROUGH a wall is just beyond disrespectful
As a MELEE character. 😆
Boy wasn't careful
Between that and the Genji play after I could see the limit testing!
Gotta say man, your HOTS videos are something special. I get more joy out of watching you than playing the game myself.
Thanks for being you, Pally! And congrats on the wedding
Hi Pally! I really wish blizzard picked up HOTS again, I think the mechanics of this game are so much better than any other moba out there
Indeed it has. Less micro management to be precise in my opinion.
Blizzard HATES this game. The only thing they hate more is that people are still playing and loving it.
agreed, i think the lack of a shop makes it easier and less spikey
I really hope they don’t. As much as I’d love the game to get more content and updates, I feel like they’ll just ruin it if they try to.

Long live the queen! I remember how much you loved to play Kerrigan and it made me happy that you were enjoying the match :)
I'm glad we are seeing Pally Unfiltered. Appreciate the transparency ;)
Oh, I haven't seen Ulti in such a long time but he immediately found his place right back into my heart.
Fun fact:
Tarrasque is a massive creature with hard natural plating from D&D. The creature is famous for being hard to kill. The talent name is most likely a reference to that creature!
Ackchually, the tarrasque is originally from french folk lore.
Tarrasque was what they named the heroic version of the ultralisk in broodwar
It's also a reference to the Heart of thr Swarm campaign in Starcraft 2. In it, you can upgrade Ultralisks to the Tarrasque strain which give them the same ability to revive upon death.
The Tarrasque was also a heroic unit in the original StarCraft. I don't think it ever made an appearance, but people used it in use map settings games.
@@sycops1 It showed up in a Terran mission and kept attacking your wall until you killed that CPU Zerg
Love seeing you play Kerrigan, I can’t wait for the deep dive!

I appreciate the implication that her spikes aren’t painful until you take a talent for them!
THE QUEEN RETURNS! Always good to see some Pally Kerrigan, I missed the gal.
Pally, if you Ravage in on a target you can alt-cast your impaling blades, and if you land your primal grasp it will pull them just enough to get stunned. Mostly helpful in melee with a bruiser team, when everyone wants to kill you.
I think assimilation mastery is slept on huge. Keeps your mana and health topped off when you're split pushing
Kerrigan, melee assassin, highest siege damage. Zagara, ranged specialist, highest hero damage.... whatever works : )
So glad you're playing Kerrigan! I'm in a similar boat as you, I played her a ton, then dropped her for a long time.
Deep dive when?
A character you haven't seen in forever. Cho-Gal.
lvl 16 q works great with the lvl 7 q you took.
The lvl 7 pve q lets you get a lot of shields just before a fight, or nuke a minionwave for shields during a teamfight (like the one at 7:15). Still a lot worse for teamfights of course, but it can let you do interesting things.
Kerrigan clearing marine waves just feels right.
I dont live under a rock! I live in the woods. It's different.
I'll mail you a rock buddy, don't you worry
I'd like a rock...@@Aaron537_UNIQUESTRING
I forgot how much fun Kerrigan can be.
Pally: _"Is this it!? Is this the return of Kerrigan!? I'm the leader of the effing zerg. You can't stop me!!"_
*Deckard proceed to paint a triangle on the ground and stop him* 😅
Beautifully done, ggwp
13:12 Deckard cains illuminati
Queen of blades is a true living on the edge character
I love the micro of the Ultralisk, especially at level 20, but I’ve never clicked with Kerrigan enough to play her well to actually use it.
🎶 Once, she was Queen of Blades! Now she eats, Zergling pie! 🎶
So much joy loved it
She's one of my mains, but I'm a newb. Good to see more Kerrigan content though!
Hi Pally, best macro build for Kerrigan is fun, 3, 3,1,2, 2, 2, 2/3

Yay HOTS videos
Jesus dude have mercy…
let's get more chen in there too!
How did you not make a specialist joke about Sarah since you are playing with nukes.
It was literally her job as a ghost recon
Amazing game, GG!
"You can't stop me!"
Oh shit triangles...
It is _not_ all about the combo, no. :) The _threat_ of the combo while you lay into things with AA and Q1, 7 is actually really effective.

HOTS!!!!
Could someone explain to a beginner why one shouldn't nuke mid? :)
can you do a cho'gall deepdive? :D
all been there
Almost 10 years later and Kerrigan still lookin thicc af.
🎉🎉
Thrall used to be my favorite, but they did a rework on him and i HATED it... never played him since. He used to be all about windfury, then they made him about chain-lightening... that nerfed his build and made him trash.
Yass queen slay!
When lunara? The best character in the game
Man i really wish they added to HOTS it such a great game. Just couple more heroes or something. Its better then the state of wow and diablo 4 and it not even supported anymore.
