There is a very smart thing Justing does all game that should be pointed out. Like ETCs guitar solo armor, every time Justing goes in and thinks he might get stunned by imperius, he uses Q on himself before going in to get 25 armor, making it harder to get blown up and wasting enemy cds. Also, he uses W in lane to heal his minions and damage enemy minions, making enemy team waste more time on clearing.
Me After watching whole vid:
Ok play Imperius, gotchu.
Can you really call him "main tank" when he stayed in the back line most of the game? It was more like a double support, main tank Diva comp.
Thank you. New to HOTS (2nd week playing), and any meta/pick explanation helps me out a lot.
This sort of mentality puts you in the top 95th percentile of players, I feel, cynically, but factually.
Welcome to HoTs! Found any hero you like playing?
@@choonbox : Thanks! So far, I'm liking and feel more skilled with Valla, Li-Ming, Lt. Morales, Tassadar, Anduin, and Sylvanas.
I find that I do terrible with tanks, bruisers, and melee assassins as I'm not confident about initiating at close range (and team fights with tanks). I'm not great with most healers but seem to do well keeping the team alive with Lt. Morales and Anduin. I feel right at home poking and sustaining with Valla, Li-Ming, Tassadar, and Sylvanas.
I'm new to MOBAs, too, (coming from games like OW, FFXIV, and SOASE) so I'm also learning how to be proficient with game mechanics such as stutter stepping and quick casting. This game has been a pretty steep knowledge cliff for me so far. Lots of great RUclips content available for folks like me, and-with help from friends-I've been able to acclimate quickly.
What has helped me was just going straight into ARAM (after doing tutorial and enough AI games). Between the two, I felt it more important to learn heroes first and maps second.
@@Ozasuke You seem to be a fantastic chap. Just in case you didn't read them somewhere else yet, here's a few general tips:
CONTROLS
- Customize your *Quickcast* settings per hero and/or globally. Quickcast has 3 settings:
On - fires an ability as soon as the button is pressed (fastest)
On Release - fires when the button is released, shows you a target marker
Off - you have to confirm to fire (most reliable)
I generally use On Release with a few Quickcast skills that I want to go off instantly. I find the targeting assist too useful to pass on.
- [A] is your *attack move* button, your hero attacks anything in range and then moves. Useful for stutter as you don't run the risk of misclicking and walking into the enemy instead of shooting.
- You can configure the keybind and also whether A-move targets the enemy closest to your hero or to your cursor. I recommend cursor.
- *Always mount* [Z] if you don't have anything to shoot. Moving at 1.3x speed helps dodge, escape, chase and position.
- Queue commands with [Shift]. So mount, shift+click a fountain, then shift+click somewhere else gives you the fastest way to tap.
- You can use a healing fountain anytime, not only when you're low. The regen stays on you for the normal duration, so you can use it before a fight to have HP and mana regeneration in the fight. This is called a pre-tap.
TRAINING
- If you want to try hero-specific things, there are 3 practice areas: Try Mode, Sandbox and VersusAI.
Try Mode is a bit hidden in Collections > Heroes > Select a hero > Click Try.
Sandbox is similar but on a bigger map with better AI or without or with a friend. Go to Custom Game, select one of two Sandbox maps (Volskaya / Cursed), add AI or not. Gives you cheat options for resetting talents and such.
VersusAI puts 5 players against bots, so it's virtually impossible to lose and there is almost no pressure. It's very different from the "real" game but allows you to try lots of funky stuff.
- Play every hero. There is a free hero rotation and you can try any hero in Try Mode at any time. Even if you don't like them, knowing how they function is great when playing both with and against them. Many players don't even know what certain heroes do because they main one hero and never bother trying others. That's a big disadvantage. I have my favourite roster but I have played every hero at least once.
STRATEGY
- The goal is to kill the other core. Never forget that, even if other things seem flashier and shinier. Sometimes, you don't need to do the map objective. What's priority is something that comes with experience and it helps to team up with a shotcaller who can guide you.
- If in doubt, follow the team's decision, even if it's stupid and loses the game. Losing together is often better than winning alone. It's uh... it's complicated. But not everyone knows how the game works. Harsh truth.
- XP is important. Early on, one wave of soak is bigger than one hero kill. ARAM is about endless brawling, the moba game is not.
- Tanks are hard to play because there are no tank statistics. DPS deals damage, healer heals. Tanks sit in bushes providing vision but hardly anyone understands that because it doesn't show on the end screen.
I'm gonna shut the fuck up now because I could spam endless paragraphs. Those are my basics that seem to often get overlooked. Have fun getting your ass kicked by my pro moves, newbie! kekw
@@onkelpappkov2666 : LOL I'm sure I'm just free feed for you if we cross paths. Cheers
And great feedback! I really appreciate you taking the time to back the info dump truck on me. My biggest takeaways are shift-clicking, configuring proximity for A-click, "tap" and "pre-tap", losing together > winning alone, and one wave of soak > one hero kill at level 1.
The latter was a lightbulb. I often wondered why pro players go mid and broke into top/bot lanes sometimes mid-fight. I watched some of them again and it was after soaking mid's wave.
Every once in awhile when I QM, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!
Thanks for explaining why I'm taking Uther as my main tank! :)
As to draft, the adaptation of Dstorm over Dshield is cool, since they don't draft a hyper carry style hero that needs Dshield to be enabled and it allows hanzo to go for the other ult and not rely on dragon arrow to engage due to medallion
The fact that it's called "Unspeakable Horrors" makes it all the much better.
I was curious since I saw a Silver "main tank" Uther dieing repeatedly. He said "don't you know? Is a common thing in competitive pro scene!", so I said "mhm".
So much people watch your youtube stuff in silver SL in europe it seems to me more often. Hope to see some MT Uther (but good ones) soon.
What i hear and what i see in the video are two different things for some reason.
There it goes, get ready to see silver & gold main tank uther in SL.
hahaa that's tru
The point is that these things are not usable in qm or low ranks. If you have good team you can do whatever you want.
If the focus of this build is stuns, why doesn't he take Hammer of the Lightbringer as his level 1 talent?
because net mana gain on holy shock is more important than the E quest
And because they nerfed his health a lot that he can't just stand and smack people with aa.
What about uther+lucio? They cover each others weaknesses
But then you lose out on a real tank or a damage dealer. You want lucid in a mobil, Roaming composition with more damage dealers that can get in and out and chase thanks to Lucio.
Lucio lacks offensive plays compared to ana. Ana ult is a damage ult, sleep and grenade also create kill pressure.
My friends and i did a full healer comp in quick play last night for fun. I was uther and we had a lot of fun and almost won, but bad play at the end gave the enemy a big advantage. Looking to try out main tank uther
did yall go uther, tyrande, abby, khar, and like lili by any chance? i ran into that comp last night and it was a fun game
@@benjammin775 no tyrande or khara. Anduin and Alexstraza
yea he’s pretty strong if you build a zeke’s, Randuin’s and sunfire cape....Wait wrong game
you main ruined game
@@Vovi-Knight Im glad
like i said on your last video about Uther
*Uther, the stun lock machine, be ready to enjoy the game, for what feels 10 seconds, still, without moving or defending urself*
buds is slept on (no pun intended) that armor cleanse he has later is busted.
Yeah I agree. I was torn between using his healing uther replay or this one. I felt this one could have used a bit more explaining.
@@NotParadox hopefully the lads inspire some more videos, and cause more mayhem for the ladder 🤠
Damn came at how bad smash pays right out of the gate...
As a smash player I have to say, yeeeeeaaaaah... It bad :(
Also love this series and ty. Hope you keep it going for a long time still.
wouldn't it be better to have well met vs imperius tho since he can shrug off some good damage.
7:05 for talents
The feels when Uther is a better tank than Stitches.
Time for some redesigns in the hotsiverse.
#Savesmash, love all your videos btw NP
I focus on tanking or healing. When I go into SL and no one else has either showing. I say “Can anyone else tank or heal? I can’t do both, I’m not an Uther main.”
I guess I’ll have to try to change that.
Prepare for furious spam pings when Greymane yolos into 5.
#omgnoheal
@@onkelpappkov2666 That’s already the case. God forbid you clear a wave or do something that isn’t a team fight. And likely that fight is over nothing.
[NOTIFICATION TEXT]
[HERO NAME]
this guy said "smash players r broke bois" LMFAO
The pros are back!
Don’t play Uther main tank and don’t play double support. It’s not competitive except if your are the better team anyway.
vs AD team nice
Why the prox play D.Va soon?
I still pefer E it's funny big stun nice and simple
someone still plays this game? i really wanna get back to it. but, queue takes forever. on QP ia playable. :(
It’s still really popular. Not with the mainstream but has a strong hardcore following like it deserves. Get back in there!
what is CCL ?
CCL is HeroesHearthEsports' pro league that they introduced this year. Lot of ex-HGC players are in this draft and have Grubby, Bahamut, and Doa as commentators/hosts as well as gillyweed doing interviews. They stream on twitch on the weekends and it has been a breath of fresh air after HGC ended.
Have you ever seen any blind people attempt to play this game? I’ve got a buddy who’s blind and he wants to get into hots really badly
Bullshit.If you get a team chasing you or heavy split pushing. Tank Uther is nothing.
I had the highest hero damage with Lili one game.
LOL that is awesome
Battle Lili. Dragons for days. Need the Ninja skin though.
Yeah, I’ve had highest damage on some real strange heroes in QM. It’s exasperating when that happens.
Fanhots has a recent video where he goes battle lili. Unkillable damage machine. Very entertaining.
And you probably lost, just like the time I lead in hero damage with Diablo. That generally means your team is bad.
I am watching your videos for years. But in this video, i have to disagree. Uther needs, a rework,revamp.. i dont know...but it is unplayble. Long cool downs,poor aoe heal cant compare the other heales or any other of healers.
Very poor character
pro imp didnt land much kabab
When I was learning to be a caster we used to say "No pro player ever misses, the enemy pros are just that good at dodging and positioning." :D
Man do u really have to compare this game to league of lesbians lol?
it's not good, stop telling us about weird NA plays
Tell that to the EU players who banned main tank Uther against Justings team last weekend in CCL lmao
pretty garbo 'pros' lmao
HOTS is abandonware, dont kid yourself. The fact that it has any life is miraculous and simply because blizzard wants SOMETHING to take attention away from league.
It has been abandoned and is plagued by resulting problems but the game is still a good game.
I am surprised there are still PC games in development, considering how much more money there is in the Chinese mobile games market. It's absurd. It's like several dozen times more lucrative. Can't blame Activision for... oh wait, you totally can because fuck Activision.
