A melee Specialist who punishes enemy mistakes with crowd-controlling effects.
Volazj, one of the strongest Faceless Ones, was once the enemy of the Nerubians and all who stood against the Old Gods. In the Nexus, he intends to bring the will and power of them down upon his foes.
Tips:
-Volazj's Energy can easily be refilled by clearing minion waves or assisting in Hero Takedowns. Gifts of the Void is an easy way to in a pinch when enemies aren't being easily killed.
-Mind Flay is your best form of waveclear as well as an effective slow against Heroes. Its low cooldown can cause you to use it too frequently, spending all of your Energy.
-Void Clone can put a lot of pressure on a lane, even one you aren't in! Be sure to use it to push into Forts where enemies aren't defending.
-Insanity is a reliable way to single out an enemy Hero. It costs a lot of Energy to use though, so pick your target carefully.
-Choose Deafening Madness to deal with any large threats or enemies that move out of position. It doesn't deal any damage though, so make sure you can follow it up with a teammate.
-Choose Void Gaze when you need a more flexible addition to a tram fight. Remember Volazj comes back out of his copy with the same Health and Energy he had when it was cast.
Strengths:
+Strong waveclear/lane pressure
+Strong CC
+Deafening Madness gives a large window to deal with threats
+Void Gaze is a strong tool in a team fight
