I think Illidan's rise to recent glory is more because of the recent balance changes than the community being wrong about how he was last year. I feel like the game shifts really dramatically patch by patch and recent ones have neutered a lot of burst dps by other characters. Illidan stayed relatively the same over time while other assassins lost a lot of their damage potential. The december patch buffed his autoattack significantly. If you rolled patches back to say, last november, I doubt many people would still be playing him. It definitely helps that so much range damage got nerfed too, because I remember him getting pretty much one-shot bursted down by a ton of characters and that was his big issue. These days with healing buffed out the ass and dps less spiky, I think it just all fell into line.
Illidan has been huge in the EU meta since the EU servers opened their doors. NA people constantly shat on EU players for using him. And burst/eraser comps are still super, super common. Back in November the meta revolved around wombo (that may have been prior to November though.) If anything all the changes to healing actually negatively impacted Illidan the most since he had the most to benefit from strong burst heals since he has some of the best active mitigation skills in the game so each HP of his is more powerful and valuable than on other heroes. Just keep him alive through Evasion cooldowns and you can't kill the fucker.
Another thing about his survivability though is that shadow shield/evasion was bugged to near uselessness until recently. This is one of the biggest things that's made him much more playable for me at this point. He doesn't get melted anymore because shadow shield/evasion actually works now and his survivability is way, way up compared to when I got him to level 9 last year. I wholeheartedly agree that evasion makes him a juggernaut now, but it used to be pretty terrible and didn't work as intended. I would put money on this alongside changes to burst being the reason most players (The ones not playing on pro teams) have started warming up to Illidan in recent times. I know the pro level is it's own bubble, but I think this is the case for the majority of the playerbase.
I think Thrall was better than illidan before he got super nerfed. Now it's not even a contest.
Also normally I think abathur sucks, but I find the combo of illidan plus abathur to be insane.

Did a game last night that was just pure fun. I was on garden with my bro. Hes rolling Arthas and me super-badass Rhegar. We decided to just ignore the map objectives. FUck them plants ya know. So we tagged bottom lane and just kept pushing. Of course we agroed the other team often but the moment the night came for plants, we we're always left alone. The rest of the team kept btichin at us, rightfully so should i say.
BUT, with us pushing that lane, creeping like rabid dogs, we got the team 3 lvls haed of the other. Arthas can self heal like crazy and Rhegar, well, hes pro-heals couppled with shields and all the shabang. So we could just keep going. Its only beta but people are so conditioned to switch to map objectives whenever they pop that eventually we had an open road to their core. Game ended with me and him bashing their core while the other team tried a push agaisnt our core with the plant. The 3 players defending with 3 lvls over them could hold em off np. Was just fun to steer away from blizzard objectives driven game. Changed the pace of the game entirely. Next up, if we get mines, we'll just skip the mine phase entirely and keep the push going while everyones down there.

You can't really strategize without knowing the map in advance, but if you're going to do that may as well go double specialist comp to push the shit out of lanes. Haunted mines, you can skip the first one and be fine, but avoiding subsequent mines is asking for a pounding.
The idea to skip the first golem to push a keep works well if you have an organized group versus an unorganized pub but in general most teams that seem you're doing that will leave 1-2 to defend your push as they collect all the easy skulls. Then port out to defend the push with all 5. This means they'll have a skulls lead and delaying their golem just means it will be stronger and stronger. I don't think I've seen an organized team actively ignore the first mines opening.

If someone drops the AI takes it over, right? Not like "Johnny Q is farming rank with HotS-Bot v0.5"?

Correct, if somebody DCs or rage quits they get taken over by a bot until they return, if they return.
I wish they would allow you to reallocate a skill if its selected by a bot though, its incredibly annoying when you DC and a bot completely fucks your build up

I played with a bot once. He had a macro set up that said he would follow whoever the highest damage dealer was. It was actually better than some players, and we won, so we didn't report him
auto-pick says it selects the role most needed by your team..........I get azmodan.......are you fucking serious blizzard. Specialist isn't even a needed role on a team.
I think as long as you fill the 1 tank 1 war 1 dps slots then random goes into mostly random mode
If you want a key and don't have it then you aren't trying hard enough. Streamers have like an unlimited amount. Maybe even PM ZProtoss here. He gives away a key like every other game.
