Two quick facts, one, when a viking (not sure which one) get's a kill he says "enjoy valhalla" and two, when you double tap any of the viking's numbers, it switches the view point to that viking. for example, i'm viewing erik (viking number 3) and I double tap the 1 key, it will change my view to olaf (viking number 1)
This is a nice guide, however, some days ago i read a guide in the Official Forums of HotS, where the guy explains how with ragnarok, skilled players either just stay out of range until ult finishes or actually go grouped for it, ur viks get stunned and raped, both i think are true, giving the adv to "Play Again", as this makes u able to always do something, (bother heroes or lanes) and increase further the Lv adv, as most of the time erik will make it away and revive all viks for non-stop map pressure
It may seem that way in theory, but you can't simply run away from the Boat in all situations. It has reduced movement speed, sure, but you can be hit by crowd control etc. And 'staying out of range until it finishes' is unrealistic on many maps, as you'd simply be giving up the objective.
I'll still personally never give up the Boat, if you can get value out of Play Again!, go for it man.
Thanks for the input!
I absolutly love these guys, but i have 1 different build for them, and its really strange but it makes me take out full healed heroes XD so thats a plus, Bribery, norse force, eric the swift, boat, noadric attack squad, exe, fury, super deadly and takes out people pretty well if you as me :P
i used to play them that way before, and as well as me, i think ur more used to play Assassin Role
I can also tell u that sometimes seemed to give good results, but it was actually on games that the other team was not good enough or lacked CC and / or specialist, making u able to work with those talents
However, TLV full potential is only released when u split them and give ur team Lv adv, it is not easy to achieve, but is incredibly rewarding
I've tried to make a similar build work, but Norse Force! comes nowhere near to the protection that Jump! gives the Vikings. and it's tough to get in and deal damage without getting demolished by any aoe attacks. It's interesting in concept, but the Vikings have some really cookie cutter talents. Hopefully Nordic Attack Squad and Norse Force! will receive some love soon. I'd really like to see them be viable.
I think Play Again! would fit well with your build. ^^
Im on your side with the whole boat over play again ult choice and i play lv like a specialist and i seem to have the same result, even if i went max pushing build, i will try giving him more of a specialist build and what not but its fun surprising a thrall and having him cry because he got killed by rocks and a wooden shield XD
Updates
+ Few wording changes, as to make everything sound a bit smoother.
+ Tooltips added to abilities and heroes
+ Colors added to roots, stuns, and silences ~EDIT~ -> removed
Hey good guide but I think you could benefit from the sites format. Like using headers, different colors and spoiler tags. I'll still thumbs up because the information is good.
Very useful guide. I really like how you took the time to find out the levels that each viking can solo each mercenary camp. I wish ya made the counter to lost vikings more apparent though. Still recommend this guide!
Thanks man! I'll be sure to improve on that in any future guides! Glad you found it helpful.
EDIT--
Changed some things about Sylvanas, Diablo, Leoric, Johanna, Jaina, Zeratul, and Nova! Hope it's more clear now. Thanks for the suggestion!
