Nexus Newbies #3: The lonely Mountain King

Episode #1 - Episode #2

Gitmotig submitted this replay so we could critique his Muradin play and, as the game progressed, we saw a few obvious things:
 

  • Reverberation is a fantastic talent against auto attacking heroes, especially Illidan. A more reactive talent build to counter him would have helped.
     
  • Muradins early game gank ability comes from his stun and ability to slow the target. However, he needs allies that take advantage of these CC's or the ganks will never happen.
     
  • Chasing stealthed heroes for too long is a never a good idea. All it causes is the rest of the enemy team ample time to come to the rescue and kill you instead.
     
  • Level 13 is a pivotal talent selection for Muradin. Take Spell Shield only when you are consistently dying in team fights. In this case, Thunderstrike would have helped the teams lack of damage.
    ?
  • And the most important lesson learned is that, as a warrior, you can't stray far from your allies in a team fight! A lonely Muradin is an ineffective one.
     

The next episode of Nexus Newbies will feature Abathur, as we have recieved a lot of submissions asking for specific critiques on how to play him. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!

EDIT: The Kharazim patch when live and invalidated a lot of our submitted replays. As such, the promised Abathur game is no more.

Dorazion and Vannity have been playing Heroes since the earliest stage of the Alpha, going all the way back to the games first public appearance at BlizzCon. Their work in eSports exposes them to countless professional matches across all regions, and, as rank 1 players hovering around the 3300 MMR, helping out newer players without a firm grasp on optimal play behavior is exactly how they would like to spend their time.
