Played about a dozen matches with Jaina on PTR.
She's not nerfed in anyway whatsoever and anyone who honestly thinks she is a stupid chimp.
Frost Armor (even slightly nerfed version) coming at 4 instead of not 7 (competing with a literal 15% damage increase talent) is huge. Ice Barrier buff is a massive survival bonus, the extra second is huge, and it's trivial to stack shields and maintain them while fighting on objectives, sieging, or clearing minion waves. Three waves of Blizzard completely changes how Jaina feels. She may as well be a specialist. You can start taking camps as early as 7. You can clear any wave (waveclear is crucial from the get-go with minion changes) with a single Blizzard starting at level 1.
She's still not as well-rounded as Li-Ming, but there is definitely a niche for her and she's amazing against frontline heavy comps that are fronting Sonya or Thrall.
Jaina is garbage on the PTR

Blizzard can't one shot a wave until level 4, you can test that in try mode.

Jaina's buff was actually a nerf. Her burst got nerfed in exchange for a third wave of blizzard. Not sure why they nerfed one of the worst heroes in the game but they did it
>>147660513
>Jaina
>amazing
>wasting an assassin slot for a mediocre specialist
>straight up spreading actual lies about her waveclear
Why are you like this
I hope you guys are wrong. I like the idea of removing burst mages and giving them other roles. I want Jaina to be good, but if she never bursts people, I'm good with that too.
Maybe she's just more team dependant? The idea of the three waves is to pair with other people's CC?
>>147661829
>it's okay to make one (1) mage completely shit because hurr durr muh variety when the niche she is supposed to fill after the changes is already hogged by 3 other (superior) heroes
JUST
>>147661829
>Maybe she's just more team dependant?
shes ult dependant. in other words, if you take ele you're shit. if you take ring and miss them, you're shit. if you hit your rings, you're kinda useful but even then less so than other mages. sad fact
>>147661829
The tiny radius on blizzard makes it so you have a hard time hitting the second wave even with CC, you never hit a third wave unless it's in a mosh pit.
But if you just make Jaina a wave clear mage, instead of an burst mage there is no point to actually picking her. Gul'dan is actually far better at wave clear than Jaina.
>>147661829
The only thing Jaina had going for her was semi-good burst damage and one ult. Now it's just that one ult and nothing else. There exists an entire class of heroes dedicated to waveclear already: they're called specialists and apart from Medivh, they ALL have superior waveclear. Jaina is a mage who is outclassed in every category and by everyone (except shitty meme heroes like Butcher or Tyrael who have even less going for them)
>>147662395
Tyrael actually sees a good amount of competitive play, he's more of a support tank with aoe invaulnerability, shields, speed buffs and can steal camps with holy ground. Jaina is just not played in high level team play though because she is so bad as well as the easiest character in the game to kill.
>>147662000
Fuck those other heroes. Nerf them to the ground for all I care.
>>147662090
Well, obviously, but if your team has good CC, you can hit your waves, right?
>>147662158
I don't want her to be a waveclear assassin. That makes no sense. I am hoping that there is genuinely some value in hitting one wave on two melee guys in a teamfight and then making the enemy have to avoid that circle for a few seconds every teamfight.
Teamfights are what, 20 seconds long? And like, at a altar or at Blackheart's turn in, surely there are places where you can fuck up one person and force unfavorable movement.
This is my hope. If she's trash, she's trash, but I hope that she isn't and everyone is just underestimating the value of a mage who doesn't have as much burst potential as first pick able bitches.

Dude, just let it go. Jaina is absolute shit. Outperformed by fucking Nazeebo who isn't even meant to be a DPS.
>>147662395
But isn't the fact that you can slow people at all relevant?
You could maybe keep cone up to prevent people getting near you, you throw Blizz at choke points and you frostshot stragglers? I'm thinking on like Sky Temple bot for example.
I'm very likely wrong.
jaina is for ____
>>147662963
>25% slow
Dude, fucking Leoric has a better one (40%) with a more reliable radius on a shorter cooldown - and with all the blinks in the meta, slows don't matter for shit. What's a shitty slow going to do vs Muradin just jumping the fuck away or Valla vaulting in any direction that isn't "your face"? Jaina doesn't have the range to take any advantage of it. Hell, her entire passive is negated by Sonya's and Li Li's passive. Add to that how prevalent Cleanse is in the meta, and you got yourself an assassin who literally does nothing but weigh her team down. Even trollpicking Nova is less of a burden on your team than Jaina.

>I don't want her to be a waveclear assassin. That makes no sense. I am hoping that there is genuinely some value in hitting one wave on two melee guys in a teamfight and then making the enemy have to avoid that circle for a few seconds every teamfight.
She's not a very good waveclear assassin, it's a 15 second CD and a small radius so she can clear one wave, but if there is 2 or more waves she needs to commit more to try to clear it. Hitting one wave of blizzard does less damage now, hitting two waves of blizzard and a cone of cold does less damage now than before, she only sees the buff if you ever hit 3 waves on someone.
The biggest problem was 2 waves of blizzard was hard to hit at all even with the radius increase at 4, and now that's is 16 and competes with good talents. You never took the 3rd wave on blizzard at 16 because it was a bad talent, so they just weakened her early game a lot.
Kael can clear waves about as fast, with shorter cds and more mana efficiently. Jaina is nerfed far too much to just have a weak 25% slow that really only ends up being good after you already won the team fight.

I want to be bullied while playing Jaina like the useless feeding slut I am, I want to miss my ring of frost in a crucial moment just so I can be called a retard dumb bitch with less damage than Uther, I want to blow all my spells at close range against a tank to burst 1/3 of his health only to be healed back again in a instant and have everything in CD for 15 seconds, ahh and my team just screaming at me for being such an brainless idiot I can't do anything at all, I want to be useless and be carried by strong efficient assassins so I don't need to think anymore, in the end I'm just an object to be used as a meat shield and slow the enemy down (sometimes) by 25%, I hope the +5% slow from the level 1 talent that you can't even notice allows you to escape easier while I abandon any hopes and just let them rape my worthless ragdoll around, until I spawn again only to defend an unstoppable wave of 2 minions waves while everyone is dead and get ganked near the core, GG.

It's PTR, so naturally there's gonna be bugs. The whole point of putting stuff on PTR is to find and fix bugs before it goes live.

and nobody reported this happening to them
it kinda worries me you know

the mix of cooldowns, pvp reliable shielding aren't really there for here to be much more than a cheap greymane/kael burst replacement and glorified specialist. for the slow to really matter consistently outside of chasedowns she needs to be rebuilt into a shorter range brawler from lvl1. total rework with baseline ice barrier and a short blink at 16 or 20.

you're still not unbanned from the discord senjinn
just wanted to let you know
>>147691493
there's not much point. don't really need much more than 10 bought no matter your hero league approach (fill,support,etc.) with the mix of the free rotation. most QM players could get by with next to nothing. it's not like you can get bored of 10 characters fast on a couple dozen games a week. save until you really miss something.
Why can Diablo throw and push people behind gates yet most other abilities/heroes that look like they should be able to actually can't? They just jam against the gate. Like Stitches hook.
>>147697517
I AM TERROR INCARNATE
Who /stitches/ here?
I've fell in love with Azmo on the ptr. New dunk talent is strong enough to make dunks good without overshadowing the current one if you've got a pocket Jojo or something to min/max.
>>147697517
Stitches hook would be super cheese, but I don't see why someone like a Artanis can't since it's kinda the same move.
>>147678665
I dunno I think maybe Leoric. I lov his voice and his quotes

naw man that would make team fights even more snowbally then they already are
i just watched the gul'dan spotlight? does horrify make them run away from the center of the cast or in random directions? just wondering if you can make enemies run in the direction you want them to run.
is this going to get a nerf?
>>147707230
from the center
post yfw you realized dodging the HL draft doesn't subtract any points
why is guldan so fucking mediocre? why does kerrigan deal so much dmg?
>>147708005
really it doesnt in season now?
has anyone tested muradin, can he get rooted in the air now, like if he jumps above malfurion's roots?
pretty gay nerf

I know if you exit the game really quickly after your queue pops (like if you see some players on your team you wany to avoid) you can dodge leaver status but you have to be quick

How easy is to get to master if you have just promoted to D1?
due to zagara definitely being the first ban after the patch and gul'dan maybe being second just because new, will we actually manage to draft KT now?

This nigger RUNS into the middle of the creep wave, THEN goes AFK to take a piss. Only constant, right. Needless the say they fed hard the rest of the game. Instalose.
>>147710984
YOU TAKE THAT BACK FAGGOTthe banshee queen is my only waifu desu
>>147712447
This sounds made up.
Was it at least QM? I guess with Unranked Draft finally being out QM is for people who don't give any shits.
>>147713087
I wish it was made up. That match alone made me stop playing right after it was over. All 4 of them were brainless and dead. I couldn't believe it. Sylv ran in against 4 (we all seen the enemy) for no reason and of course died.
I just don't even know sometimes. Doesn't mean shit that I got a very good first blood when my 4 teammates collectively die ~15 times in 10 minutes. Doesn't matter. You can not win from that if your teammates are that stupid.
>>147713232
Unless you're playing vikings.
I've won games where my teammates kept losing 4v3 on garden and Zera kept killing me. 8-32 in kills, still won.
So, specialists. When do you have to get one in Ranked? When is 3 assassin, 1 warrior, 1 support wrong?
>>147715381
>When is 3 assassin, 1 warrior, 1 support wrong?
next patch, you will always need a specialist or two
>>147715381
Map dependant. Can't get away on tomb or cursed hollow without specs for one. Could get away with it on blackheart, battlefield and shire.
>>147715440

Yeah they're good, but not necessary. Not having a spec on Tomb and Hollow is just signing a death sentence.

>>147715483
Thanks.
Despite Jaina being worse on the PTR I noticed that she now only has 3 options per talent tier except for 1 and 20, most heroes have 4+, but jaina has only been losing talents.
>>147715754
Yeah, Xul, Sylv and Zag are basically the only 3 specs you need. Naz is a good extra, and vikings gets you freewins on garden if you have any multitasking whatsoever and your team isn't completely terrible.
>>147716320
the talent system in general is being phased out in favor of a more streamlined quest system and an item shop at your base.
>>147716320
Medivh only has 3, I think going forward they want to eliminate as many talents as possible so you only have 1 or 2 choice per level. A bunch of talents per tier is just confusing for players, it would be better if you really only had 2 good choices per tier so people can't mess up their builds too much as anyone who plays this game are pretty incompetent, even in diamond people aren't sure how to spec heroes.
>>147716671
Why even have talents if there's only one good choice per tier anyway. Just make them automatically activate when you reach lvl X and stop making players click the same shit every game, possibly in a team fight where it distracts them from playing.
>>147716759
Sometimes it's good to go more defensives or more offensives, so they should have at least 2 option. 3 options is probably too confusing for players though
>>147716759
Many heroes have many tiers of multiple choice. Some heroes don't, sure.
>>147716875
Just add the defensive one to baseline kit. Fixes 90% of all heroes' problems.
>>147716935
Sure if you're an idiot you can totally pick Regen Master on Hammer or Demolitionist on Naz, but that just makes you lose harder. Talent system was a bad idea from the get go.
>>147716950
Just think of li-ming with all her defensive talents baseline while getting full damage specs
>>147717030
Good thing those two heroes aren't the only heroes in the game. And good thing there's more than one talent tier.
Talent concept is good. However, like everything in HotS, there's room for much more.
>>147717034
Like I said, fixes 90% of all heroes' problems including Li Ming's lackluster performance in the current meta.
This ugly mother fucker is fucking hot assassins with this one weird trick.
and basically, you're fucking stupid.
>winstreak 3 and get promo
>lose 3 games in a row

Sure is fun having your rank determined by the PUG lottery.can't even escape the shit players and feeders in diamond
By the way, in case anyone didn't know this: you can dodge shitters on your team from the previous game if you stay in the stats screen. Hover over the party invite and it will tell you whether or not they are in a game already.
>>147717109
>including Li Ming's lackluster performance in the current meta.
>>147717097
How is it a good concept if there's 1 talent per tier that has 90% pick and 70% win rate? Nobody's making use of most of the meme talents Blizzard stuck on their heroes. Heroics are the only talent choice that actually matters.
>>147715505

everyone in there is a contrarian faggot
>>147717185
>>147717185
Just because a talent is picked far more than others doesn't mean it's the auto-pick every time. It's good to have situational/niche talents. You seem like somebody who uses hotdogs like a bible and doesn't think for themselves.
>>147660167
I follow guide rules on which ult to pick, mech on push maps, drill on objective maps; so yes I might be a faggotBut you have to admit, seeing the enemy carry walk miles away from a fight to get out of range of the drill is pretty funny

the bear?
i guess, but bears dont have particularly special pussies or cocks.
horse/dog pussy and cock are unique and fun.
i think lunara would either have a horse or deer pussy, which would be good.
>>147716671
If you look at recent heroes like li-ming she has at least 3 very distinct talents plus maybe a clone of some of those 3 talents which does the same but works sightly different.
For example Astral Presence and power hungry at level 1 both are for mana regeneration, but the rest are different. At 16 you have 2 talents for magic missiles and the other 2 are different. However all her talents are useful in some way, even Astral Presence is way better than power hungry in Infernal Shrines, you never run out of mana and can keep fighting all you want and force armor is still the best magic block in the game combined with fireflies you just can't die. I think Li-ming has the best talent tree so far and this is what they are trying to achieve with all heroes now.
Btw Jaina Q build with icy veins is stronger now, it's just her W build that feels lacking.
>>147717312
desu 4/5 people who play this have never touched a moba and suck anyway, so there's always going to be the one man carry
>>147717548
>Btw Jaina Q build with icy veins is stronger now, it's just her W build that feels lacking.
The Q build does the same as it did, you just get 10 mana back per frost bolt hit.
>>147717114
I hate hate hate when I see a hatted Monstrocity. Like, fine, you took a thing to split push, now let it be and hat people in teamfights.
Evo is so fucking good, but if you are doing hat build, you can't hat people when you are being a clone.
I wish it were acceptable to take monstro when you are doing hat.
>gutting brightwing's fun build
>forcing you to go afk heal totem build
fuck this game
>>147718905
i do take monstrocity while doing symbiote build.
and a hatted monstrocity that is fully grown is the strongest champion in the game, can easily 1v1 anybody.
>>147719021

>mfw I tried to 1v1 a hatted symbiote with greymane because he was almost half health
>>147719009
They buffed Greymane, and already very strong assassin and nerfed Jaina, one of the weakest assasssins. It's a pretty bad patch for balancing.
>>147719567
