I mean, considering there was one of your videos that said something among the lines of "if I had to bet $100 dollars on a hero I can win with, I'd bet in Rag", some of us were expecting the high win rate. Proud of youuu
the skin that i want for rag is a bowling league skin, where the "meatball" is replaced with a bowling ball, and when it hits heroes it'll make bowling pin striking sound
The game's in a really weird place right now where it's not really being worked on like it was in the past, but people are still playing it. Hope you're having fun though!
Pally thank you for ur commitment to this game an community in general, really do appreciate the effort put in and the hard work you do. Have a wonderful day my friend
50-9-1 now following your builds and got MVP in this one. Rag is one of my best characters too and this is exactly how I like to play him. Since I'm not playing with a coordinated team and because I love this hero I still gave myself 3 matches. This was my last undefeated hero while I held him for a long time at 5-0 but never really got him until I started playing the E build then he became one of my best up there with Fenix, Mei, and OG Deathwing
I love Ragnaros. Here's the total route play any time you are on offense. save your cooldowns, have team with you. This moment at 13:46 for example when your team enters the opponent's base is when flame wave should arrive. Not to do hero damage, but as area denial. They can see that wave coming and if they have to get into a fight to stop you they dont want to be stuck there when it hits. so they dont commit and are quick to leave. keep your team in the lane and push structures hard. shortly after wave passes then you molten core for further area denial and push even harder. then everybody regroups afterwards. this is not for getting kills, necessarily, but if the opponents try to stick it out that certainly happens. Its just moving into opposing territory and flattening a zone.
I loved your secret, it’s just so pure. Seriously this is why you’re one of, if not my favourite content creator. You’re kind, pure, intellectual and just a all around good guy. Keep up the good work mate :)
Yeah after watching your videos for years at this point, Ragnaros has always seemed like the strongest hero in the game to me and definitely the most fun. Decided that if I ever started playing HOTS I would just one trick Rag.
A - Z part 61 ragnaros one if the most fun champs in the game great pick every time and my favourite voice Line when he says die insects just so cool when he is BIG
If I remember correctly, the reason he has so few skins and only 1 color is when the developers change the fire effect around him it causes him to break. They should add a Swedish Chef skin for the meatballs.
WP pally! 👏👏👏 I keep coming back to this game and your a big part of that. Maybe hots will get some much needed love with this Microsoft acquisition. Let's hope ya.
I adore ragnaros actually the first character i started maining in heroes if they have good wave clear or siege potential im drawn to them so rag and xul are my go to guys. love seeing you play rag hes so fun and keep up the great content
• Q conserves mana. You can clear only using Q and get both healed and keep your mana high. • Rag AA are some of the strongest in the game. Q resets the attack. So A-Q is a combo. Ragnaros shits on Murky because no Pufferfish ever explodes unless you ignore them. Don't ignore them. --> This means following Murky is not a thing you can do, it's a thing you will do, because Rag shits on Murky harder than other heroes on your team and you want to win by making one hero useless. • Save W for fleeing enemies. • Molten Core combo is Q-R-E-W, where you obviously pick Sulfuras Smash at 10 and you try to place the W slightly to the side of the target to hit it twice. This does not kill a full hero until your level 20 Heroic Difficulty upgrade which gives you more damage so you can one-shot most heroes. • Molten Core W deals structure damage, E does not. E is better waveclear. • Rotate fast to kill waves and don't idle in between so you don't need to get Lava Wave. Q replaces Lava Wave. Instead, get a powerful hero killing tool to decide fights with. Sulfuras Smash makes you a solo threat to most squishies. • When a wave approaches in a line, you can W towards you so the meatball follows. Q usually clears it out. If you want to go as fast as possible, you E in addition. • Remember that Q heals you. If you don't waste mana, you almost never have to back. I say that twice because it's one of his most powerful tools as an offlaner. • Ragnaros is such an extreme macro threat that the only way to realistically win against one is to gank him. Play into this power by playing macro over everything else and punish heroes who try to solo you. If a lane is cleared, there is no point for you to stay there unless you want to siege.
@@ViolosD2I The reason he doesn't have skins is because he breaks the instant they change his colors so that would actually be the hardest skins to do for him.
I think only Diablo and you understood that Murky's egg was close if you had a red eye on top of your heads. Such a big oversight from your team to let him get that much vision. Like last game with the Nydus.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one on a team that can figure out where a Murky egg is just based on that eye giving you basically it's exact location if you try from a couple angles to pinpoint it.
Fenix is my top win rate character at 88.9%, 8 wins and one loss. Only time I remember playing him was after your recent a-z video. Ragnaros not doing so hot for me at 50%.
What's your thoughts on Blizzard being bought by Microsoft and the possible return of Heroes of the Storm? Also what do you think about the new game announced? (I think it was called Dawnbreaker?)
Rag to me feels like his abilities don't have much synergy. Especially with the talents forcing you to essentially pick one to focus on making the others just filler until main one is ready again.
I disagree. The one thing they all have in common is hitting a lot of things at once. Great wave clear and one of Ragnaros's most popular dialogue lines in WoW which was then immortalized as his Hearthstone hero power: "DIE INSECT!". Followed by shooting a big damage fireball at a random target.
He is not a top damage hero in the higher leagues. He used to be like you say, where he was top damage. Look at Fan’s tier list for example. He used to be that high damage, but compare him to late game Valla or Zuljin and it’s not even close
Those stats are SO misleading....every single time I play against ragna I give a smile because outside of soaking he is SO bad in fights. Either that or I am extremely unlucky by only meeting ragna noobs.
well Q build rag can do decently in fights but preferably E build is the go to he can bring so much and do pretty good damage if your team is willing to work with you
maan..i'm anxious again now with microsoft buy activision blizzard. will they finally pull the rug from under heroes? will they try to revive it? will it stay the same sorry way? with not even 1 art guy to work on new talent icons? will they give at least a bit more budget?
I mean, considering there was one of your videos that said something among the lines of "if I had to bet $100 dollars on a hero I can win with, I'd bet in Rag", some of us were expecting the high win rate. Proud of youuu
This! Feels good to have guessed it as a long-time fan.
the skin that i want for rag is a bowling league skin, where the "meatball" is replaced with a bowling ball, and when it hits heroes it'll make bowling pin striking sound
With Sulfuras Smash being a bowling trophy slamming into the ground.
@@Juniper_Rose and Lava Wave being a large bowling ball that leaves streaks down the lane and also makes pin-strike sounds when it kills minions
I want a food/kitchen ragnaros, where the meatball is an actual meatball.
Or the Wii Sports Bowling “Nice Throw!”
@@DreadlordZolias Nah, don't reuse the bowling ball. Have it be the bar thing that clears the lane of pins at the end of your turn.
I started playing this game like 2 months ago. Your vids are very fun to watch and help me get a grip on the game. Thanks pally.
The game's in a really weird place right now where it's not really being worked on like it was in the past, but people are still playing it. Hope you're having fun though!
It's getting hot in here!

Can we take a moment to talk about how awesome Diablo played this match? So many amazing plays. That was some top-tier taknkin right there.
I haven't played this game in like 5 years, but i never miss a video you make on it, somehow it's just that entertaining, keep up the good work
Yeah after watching your videos for years at this point, Ragnaros has always seemed like the strongest hero in the game to me and definitely the most fun. Decided that if I ever started playing HOTS I would just one trick Rag.
Love it when you're having a good time. So enjoyable to watch.
Pally you are the ONLY reason I still play this game. Your enjoyment and enthusiasm remind of fun to be had even though QM is a smoldering hell hole.
I love the joy you have in this video. You can hear it in your voice!! Keep livin' your best molten life!!!!!!
A - Z part 61 ragnaros one if the most fun champs in the game great pick every time and my favourite voice Line when he says die insects just so cool when he is BIG

Yeah, Rag's model has a lot of moving parts and I imagine it's hard to change without lots of issues cropping up.
Now that is a Killer HoTs Game, very awesome Pally
WP pally! 👏👏👏
I keep coming back to this game and your a big part of that.
Maybe hots will get some much needed love with this Microsoft acquisition.

I adore ragnaros actually the first character i started maining in heroes if they have good wave clear or siege potential im drawn to them so rag and xul are my go to guys. love seeing you play rag hes so fun and keep up the great content
Woah. I had no idea that E.T.C. stands for Elite Tauren Chieftain. *On top of the big secret, no less!* Great content as usual Pally. :)
Im in love with the idea of a Ramen soup Ramanous
I've always loved E build rag. Fun video.

The Gold Ring 💍 moment was wholesome
Spaghetti ragnaross would be amazing
Speaking of Skins, it would be cool to see him have an Al'akir Variant like how Muradin can be Magni and Vandarr, or Rengar can be Drek'thar
He could easily work as a water or wind lord. Or Ranch Dressing.
@@ViolosD2I The reason he doesn't have skins is because he breaks the instant they change his colors so that would actually be the hardest skins to do for him.
@@dutchvanderlinde248 How dies he "break"? And who said it's exclusively the colors?
My favourite from you :)
And that golden ring was perfect
It's always so enjoyable to see you having a good time :)
I love watching you play rag!!!! Also waiting for that nerf at week 10 for regar
seeing pally so happy makes me happy :>
Grats on the *** SPOILER***
Gold Ring Ragnaros!
This is series is so damn good!
Ice Cream Rag, Wind Vortex Rag, and Toxic Whirlpool Rag. Best skin pack ever.
A soup Ragnaros, now that is something I can get behind
Ragna-strone!
Thank you for making sure Matty was ok
'don't bodyshame the minion wave' LOL matty
I think only Diablo and you understood that Murky's egg was close if you had a red eye on top of your heads.
Such a big oversight from your team to let him get that much vision. Like last game with the Nydus.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one on a team that can figure out where a Murky egg is just based on that eye giving you basically it's exact location if you try from a couple angles to pinpoint it.
Gratz Pally!
Most of the time the sensible decision is going lava wave but I'm not gonna lie, I love me some comet hammer kills
I'm here for Ragout-ros.
Ragnaros is perfectly balanced as all things shall be
What an amazing video!
A soup Ragnaros skin would be fantastic
That Murky sure seemed to be feeding, lol. Like, he was dying way too much even for a Murky.
MattyP: Don't bodyshame the minion wave.
God dammit.. XD
Fenix is my top win rate character at 88.9%, 8 wins and one loss. Only time I remember playing him was after your recent a-z video. Ragnaros not doing so hot for me at 50%.
After my last game with your build, win rate got up to 52.6%!
Congratz on the golden ring 😄
what an irony that Varian's name is Firelord
Ngl this game looks fun
Is Rag mana hungry or just right?
When are we getting master chief and Marcus Fenix?
could the seecreet be that he was one of the first people going explosion build
YAS!
We need a Ramen Rag!!!
Oh that would be great :)
4:20 what? there are so many i guess mainly on supports but still
why no pick hammer ult vs CTE and Varian
Here, have an E !!!
I invented the E build.
I skewed the stats.
Grats dude
What are the timings for using Lava wave?
1 2 3 4
Just got my rag to level 100!
Let's gooooo!
Hey pally what do you think may happen to heroes of the storm after the acquisition by Microsoft?
What's your thoughts on Blizzard being bought by Microsoft and the possible return of Heroes of the Storm? Also what do you think about the new game announced? (I think it was called Dawnbreaker?)

when I need a win I go for Rag.
The amount of skins for rag is a crime
Rag to me feels like his abilities don't have much synergy. Especially with the talents forcing you to essentially pick one to focus on making the others just filler until main one is ready again.
I disagree. The one thing they all have in common is hitting a lot of things at once. Great wave clear and one of Ragnaros's most popular dialogue lines in WoW which was then immortalized as his Hearthstone hero power: "DIE INSECT!". Followed by shooting a big damage fireball at a random target.
Can you create a video that is just you opening up you 400+ chests? haha
Why would anyone watch it? Every single item would be a duplicate.
u think that microsoft buing bliz is a hope for hots?
first...greetings from Germany
That sick Ragnaros win rate gotta be because of his awesome lane clear.
Also Pally you don't suck at Jimmy. Jimmy sucks since his rework imo.
Jimmy is dogshit easy to play, if you have good positioning and game sense you should never die and always top dmg
He is not a top damage hero in the higher leagues. He used to be like you say, where he was top damage. Look at Fan’s tier list for example. He used to be that high damage, but compare him to late game Valla or Zuljin and it’s not even close
GOLDEN RING
Didnt you upload a raggy video a few weeks ago?
I might just go throw down a few Rag games and see fit like
Rag is one of those characters that just goes against hots design philosophy. He actively stalls games and can negate entire objectives sometimes.
captain cookie skin from deadmines
Pally laying waste on ragnaros. No surprise there. Also Golder Ring Hype!!!!!&&$$!!!!!!
I felt bad for Murky :(
Who caught the minion body shame comment from his group chat?
Just one time, I want to hear Pally say "welcome back to the A through Z play through Z"
Random comment for channel interaction.
Comment for the comment god.
NOICE!
73.3% win rate and you're asking for a nerf to Reghar? Bro... :D
yuh!
commenting on the video
72%
Just saying ramentaros ( ramen Ragnaros) ??
I love you Pally but Ragnaros is so unfair to play against... please don't bring more lava waves into my games
ETC NEVER ULTS LOL
Second from Las Vegas
Those stats are SO misleading....every single time I play against ragna I give a smile because outside of soaking he is SO bad in fights. Either that or I am extremely unlucky by only meeting ragna noobs.

Obligatory RUclips comment.
Pally, whats up with the inconsistent rogue legacy content man? 😭☹️🥺
Third, hello from hello
Probably my most hated character in the game , the fact that any idiot can press R every time its off cooldown and wipe out an entire lane of minions
