Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I think he'll be able to cause a lot of havoc in sloppy fights, but also enable clean and quick picks. But I agree he wouldn't be able to solo tank in the higher leagues without a support taped to his rear end all game

this is fine



Huh. Garrosh has a level 4 talent which is basically "become Kerrigan on Infernal Shrines"

quote:

Level 4
[W] In for the Kill
Increase Bloodthirst’s damage against non-Heroes by 60% Killing enemies with Bloodthirst resets its cooldown and refunds its Mana cost.

I mean you don't get the window for resets that Kerrigan gets, but still might be neat to try

e: so a dev mentioned that Garrosh would have a new game mechanic. Do you think he was referring to an optional extra ability that you can talent upgrade later, or the ability to throw allies, or the auto-targeting the closest enemy?

So I think the problem isn't with the abilities or the numbers or anything. I think the animations just don't have enough OOMPH befitting a character like Garrosh. I hope they take a second pass at his animations because as long as the animation feels strong I think people can get into it even if the numbers don't pan out that way. Murky is a good example of this, his slime explosion just looks and feels really good even at level 1 when the character can't do a whole lot to other heroes. Anub'arak's basic attack with his... mandibles? look and feel good because they still give off the impression that you're slicing someone up with these sharp pointy things on your hands. Varian's sword animations are REALLY good and have a nice sword hitting sound. Garrosh's animations just need to have a bit more weight to them. The video didn't make his attacks look very strong and they should even if numbers wise they aren't

I think uther is a good example here. He does very little damage, but he swings his hammer with both hands and and his torso goes with it so it looks powerful.

Garrosh doesn't use his torso at all when he uses abilities. All of the animation is in his arm and it looks awkward.

I don't know, the talents which improve the active at 1 compete with some other things that seem pretty good. Like, you can get 60% slow if you're low on health, but often are they the ones running from you when that happens?

That... sounds like exactly the same kind of things talents typically do for any other hero in this game..? That doesn't sound interesting at all.

Some heroes have a basic kit that works out the gate and you can get an idea of how they work by just looking at their QWED, talents just making them better at their job or open up new tricks -others can't do their job without them/the meaningful distinction between them and other characters only comes from the talents.

For example: You can see what Muradin is supposed to do as a tank based just on his QWED and you can see how he'd disrupt and force people to pay attention to him. Garrosh at base doesn't really have much to force that interaction, just a way to withstand being focused (if they don't do it too fast) and punish the other team for focusing him.

That's actually a problem I have with some of the brawls that only give you the ult and choice of 3 random dudes. Some characters just don't work without certain levels of talents and imo shouldn't be in the pool of characters for those brawls against more complete out of the box characters. The way Naz is nerfed in the wiz wars brawl shows they understand characters aren't on equal footing for certain talents in brawls.

I hope that if Stukov shoves a target in midair from Garrosh's throw that they get shoved to the moon.
If Garrosh throws someone from his own team an enemy Stukov can't do that since they're unstoppable. That much has been said so far.

Garrosh is going to pair really, really well with anyone capable of providing him shields. Short of %HP attacks screwing him, low health + shields + 75% armor is a looooot of defense to burst.

Good to know your opinions about Garrosh are objectively incorrect even in this case.

Do you not see how incredibly loving boring it would be to base his kit on the raid encounter? Those abilities have zero synergy.

Besides, do any of the Warcraft characters have a kit that is even remotely based on their WoW ability list? Like, other than the Hammer of Twilight, Cho'Gall's abilities have gently caress all to do with his raid encounter, and that's because those abilities were based on a goddamn raid. Turns out they don't really translate all that well into a MOBA.

Garrosh is the most clearly mechanics and then find a character to slap them on. Which is typically better design than starting with flavor and trying to make it mechanics.

It always seems weird when people with a big two handed weapon do low auto attack or skill damage

I love Stukov for this reason. His auto-attack damage is ridiculous and only due to the fact he has a huge arm. I hope they never nerf it.

When Grom inevitably gets added, I really hope it's the Warcraft III version who is extremely disappointed in the person his son became. One of his ults is just telling Garrosh how much of a failure he is.

Well for a tank, hulking out on Y'shaarj would make some sense, though I guess it would copy too much from Muradin's Avatar.

If you have armor and also a shield, does the armor reduce the damage received by the shield?

Instinct says no but worth asking.

Also this is from last page but here's some mechanics for you:

Shields are just extra Temporary Health, so yes! Armor does reduce damage dealt to Shields. Similarly, negative Armor will increase the amount of damage that Shields take.

I'm genuinely surprised that the reception for Garrosh seems to be lukewarm, since I'm eating my words about yet another boring Warcraft hero. I really like his kit and the toss is a cool addition to the game.

I guess he might be disappointing for people that play Warcraft?
