Threat		Notes
0	Johanna	Too much sustain, dont even bother killing her.
1	Abathur	If on a hero can DPS you down but ever so slightly
1	Brightwing	Not a counter but i must mention that brightwing is the BEST healer for sustaining the vikings.
2	Li Li	Unless with someone usesless, but if you are in the jungle she can DPS you. She may also be with someone so watch out.
3	Murky	not bad at all, but will always stay in lane.
4	Gazlowe	Wont do much but bully you out of your lane if you have erik or baelog in one lane.
4	Stitches	Can hook and bully ONE of the vikings.
5		No Threat
6	Arthas	So annoying if jungling because he can freeze you.
6	Nazeebo	Not bad until you get zombie walled, then RIP
7	Muradin	Same as arthas, but twice the sustain
7	Falstad	Can chase like a mofo.
7	Valla	Will screw you over if she uses her roll effectivly
7	Tyrande	Can find out what you are doing, and screw you over with it

9	Zeratul	same as nova but not as bad.

10	Nova	Will pick off vikings one at a time

Talents Top

Erik The Swift

Gotta go fast! erik can run away like noones business but is extreamly squishy, his level 4 Its Sabotage is super effective against towers. Dont put him out alone
Olaf The Stout

Hinga dinga durga, Olaf is the tankiest of the 3. If you are sieging towers put him up first to soak the damage.
Baleog The Fierce

Baelog is the huge damage dealer of the 3, he is a hybrid and can do massive long range burst. Dont put him out alone

Split Pushing/Carrying Top

"My back hurts" Lost vikings
"Why?" Kerrigan
"From carrying this team" Lost vikings
Imagine saying that during a quick match (not a hero league game, dont be toxic)
As the lost vikings you need to send olaf in one lane and erik and baelog in another lane, now if you are a pro like AceofSpades then send all 3 into all 3 lanes, but if you are a nooblet like me just send them into two lanes. DO NOT! Put them in a huge clump UNLESS you are jungling, people can AOE you down super fast and you will lose XP for your team. While objective is up it is best to do siege to get it out of the way. You will most likely now show up to team fights, you will contribute more by grinding up XP, however if your team request that you show up, show up. prove them wrong.

Jungling Top

There is some pro gameplay, just to put that out there.

You need viking bribery for this one, just to clarify.
If you are down on siege jungle around, you will notice a HUGE differnce.
The jungling path goes like this, Siege Giants>Bruisers>Hearth>Bruisers>Siege Giants
Push with the bruisers, dont feel bad if someone steals from you, just leave do not fight back.
