Actually suprised to see the cleave build is more popular than the block/fa build. I personally always go block/fa on Zeratul. I feel just so stupidly squishy if I do not. Maybe I just haven't dicked around with the cleave build enough.

I wonder if they're going to do something about Arthas. He's a great hero but there is absolutely zero diversity to him. According to Masters Hotslogs:

1 - E upgrade 97.9%
4 - Envenom 99.5%
7 - Rune Tap 98.4%
10 - Army 95.2%
13 - Relentless 72.1%
16 - Stoneskin 93.2%
20 - Army Upgrade 93%

Kind of in a bad spot when his lvl 13 talent has the most diversity with Relentless winning with 72% of the plays

Hopefully they add team ladder soon'ish. I also hope rank actually is meaningful.

Decent guide on Zeratul. A little dated in that cloak was changed to 3 seconds rather than 2 seconds. Another thing is that Zeratul's talents can be pretty situational. For example, level 1 talent, Greater Cleave is okay, but Block can be good depending upon your opponent's composition. Zeratul's talents kinda depend on the situation and there really isn't a clearcut build, imo. The build in the vid is a good start though.

The only talent that's a must pick is Void Prison.

Thats awesome, i didn't know VP could affect buildings and was cancelable for wombo combos.. man i love this character!

Definitely agree with block/fa though, it makes a huge difference being able to heal yourself and occasionally block. I'm gonna keep working on him, he's too fun to play lol

VP is one of the main reasons he is such a huge skill cap hero. You can use it relatively effectively by just shutting down a path or combo it with Sunder + VP but you can do some really crazy stuff with it. It has offensive purposes, it has PvE purposes, it has defensive purposes. It is a really cool ability. Kind of think it is bullshit he can drop it on a merc camp and steal mercs with it, though. That should probably be looked at.

I actually did that a couple times to people, i also would freeze the team focusing the garden bosses and jack all their flowers before they picked them up lol

I'm watching this guys' other videos now, lots of really cool characters in this game

I think it's okay. If you use it to steal a boss, it probably won't be up for the next teamfight.

I assume any heros you get with gold, will reset when they wipe the beta at some point right? i'm debating what i want to spend my 10k gold on, kinda want to get tychus and try him out since he seems really good

Do they fluctuate the gold prices on heroes? some are like 2k gold... yet others are 10k?

There are no wipes planned

Gold prices are relatively static. A few have dropped in price. New heroes come out at 15k gold. Two weeks later drop to 10k gold. Then months later drop to 7k gold. Or at least that is how the new ones have functioned. All the really cheap heroes were launched that cheap I believe.
