Hey guys, today I give my impressions of Hero League after 1000 games played, and what I learned or am still in the process of learning/accepting as a very stubborn player. I discuss when not to play (weekend nights, late night, you're tired, been drinking), things out of your control (disconnects, afks, troll picks), keeping the negative to yourself, some issues with the system, and more. Enjoy & discuss! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dj1b3z_pBOk

Hey guys, today I show the Burst build for Valla. It's a solid hybrid that's slightly more mana efficient than pure arrow and focuses on hitting a bit more frequently at max range. In this Hero League replay I explain why I picked Valla and why I went for this specific build vs. their group composition. Once you get into higher tiers of competitive play, counterpicking talents becomes increasingly important. Enjoy & discuss! Build:...

Hey guys, today I show and explain the Push build I use for Jimmy. Although he's not usually a top pick (Kael and Jaina are snagged almost every game, often as counters to each other), he does have a place as a counterpick based on his range and unique kit. Because he holds a range advantage over every hero except Sgt. Hammer, he's great for poking if you know how to properly stutterstep. He's a hard counter to Butcher and falls into quasi-specialist territory on pushing maps like Tomb of the...

Hey guys, today I show and explain the Overkill build for Tychus, as well as discussing when he's a good pick/counterpick (specifically against Jaina/Kael'thas). His Q is incredibly useful for mobile damage while avoiding crowd control and hard hitting AoE abilities - in this case the enemy team had 4 forms of either. Note that in the video I talk about Executioner and Lead Rain - they don't work with each other, but if you want to play ballsy it's a valid option. I've also been leaning more...

To be fair I went up against a Rank 1 Gazlowe a couple nights ago and with proper rotations he's actually scary. With Break it Down on level 1 he was constantly having 5-6 (!!) turrets in one spot and dancing around them, which makes it very hard to kill him without dying to auto attacks yourself. But in general I agree Zagara has more utility in team fights.

Hey guys, today I show the Auto Attack build for Valla. It's extremely strong and becomes almost OP at level 20, and can be used against all group compositions except for really high CC or dive. I prefer it - along with a hybrid Arrow build - to the Multishot one-trick pony. Enjoy & discuss! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4LNFAO7rKg

Hey guys, today I explain the number 1 rule for success in Heroes, with success being defined as more wins than losses over time in a competitive environment (Hero/Team league). All other rules and considerations are a byproduct of this, and I provide specific examples during this decisive replay. Enjoy & discuss! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7IMliA4GT8

Hey guys, today I discuss the importance of group composition while showing a very one-sided Hero League Haunted Mines replay with analysis of our group comp vs. theirs. While we don't have the perfect team to go against theirs, we're pretty close. Conversely, their overall group comp doesn't make much sense on this map and thus results in a swift defeat. Please note this was recorded right before the latest patch where Brightwing received a significant rework. Simply replace her with Uther...

Hey guys, today I discuss the importance of voice communication. While it's not necessary to be successful in the more competitive ranks (I mostly solo queue), it helps a lot - especially if everyone is on the same page. In this replay I discuss some of the differences, along with calling out our rotations leading to a decisive victory, which would not have been possible without instant voice com.
