Been a while since I asked this, so I'm doing it again! Who are your fav/least fav BG heroes? Bonus points for why. (Asking for no particular reason, don't read into this it's fine)

      @LoewenMitchell To play: I like heroes that can highroll, require thinking, or can get creative. Like Barov, Voljin, Panda. I hate any buff type HP like Guff, Edwin, Syvanna or Cariel, Raka, etc.

        @MoHS_2 Are there any heroes that provide stat buffs that you enjoy or do you dislike literally all of them? For example, do you also dislike Mutanus and Lady Vashj?

      @LoewenMitchell No. 1 BG C’Thun enjoyer here! 🙋🏻‍♂️ I like comps where I get early minions I can keep and grow bigger throughout the game. Also like Curator cuz I get to buff Amalgam all game. Galewing for ez free minions. Too many others to list in a tweet. 😀 Dislike APM, high skill heroes 😆 https://t.co/rRZ9QoTuPE

      @LoewenMitchell Master Nguyen, because panda, and it's ultimate flexibility. I love the concept of heroes that can change up what they do. No hero is close to as fun. In Dota 2, Rubick is my most played hero. Invoker is also very high due to the flexibility. I play games for fun, most fun wins. https://t.co/TNnxkM1glX

        @LoewenMitchell Sire is also cool in that regard. As the counterpoint, boring heroes or heroes that force you to do things I usually don't like. Iliidan is one of my least favorites, and the boring heroes like C'Thun, Jaraxxus or Queen Wagtoggle just bore me. But there are a lot to list tbh.

          @pocky_plays Why do you find C'Thun/Jaraxxus/Wagtoggle boring? (Totally valid to find them boring btw, I'm not trying to invalidate your opinion. I'm just curious what about them is boring to you)

            @LoewenMitchell There is very little thinking involved. What makes BGs fun for me are the decisions involved. Things like 'buy x minion type, press button' don't allow for creativity or skill expression, which kills replayability for me. To be honest, if I didn't care about MMR at all, I'd

              @LoewenMitchell rather just concede every game I didn't get a somewhat fun hero than slog through 20+ minutes of an unfun game. And the issue I have is there are A LOT more heroes that follow the formula of button for stats, than there are like Panda. Galewing and Akazamzarak are more examples

                @LoewenMitchell of heroes that potentially have a lot of variability to their gameplay and adapt to a variety of situations. (Though I think both could use some updating still to that end.) The problem with the imbalance is even for players that do like the straightforward gameplay, since there

                  @LoewenMitchell are so many more heroes that have the more basic and straightforward lines, you're much more likely to only have those in your selections than real options that would make you choose what you want to play. (Before considering hero balance/power level)

      @LoewenMitchell Elise because of her skin In all honestly I've always loved Gallywix, every game I'm dropping below 10 health early trying to make some miracle happen by stacking up gold, and then exploding your board is so satisfying. Least fav are stat buff heroes (Cariel, Guff, C'thun)

        @ItsBen321 Are there any heroes that give stats that you enjoy, or do you dislike literally all of them? (E.g. Pyramad, Lady Vashj, Mutanus, etc.)

      @LoewenMitchell i see dawngrasp i take dawngrasp pairs are fun. triples are fun. sometimes pairs are triples. sometimes they aren't and i get 8th (it's usually this one)

        @RidiculousHat @LoewenMitchell Dawngrasp is SO fun - I rolled them twice in a row last night and it was an immediate select

      @LoewenMitchell Fave Heroes: Master Nguyen, Cookie and Bru’kan. I absolutely love “dynamic” hero powers that make each game a lot more fun, you have adaptability which is always nice. I don’t really have one I *hate* to get. But static and boring hero powers are not my thing -which is most-.

        @Gambito_HS Who do you consider a static/boring hero?

    • Kurgo16
      Posted 3 years, 3 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell Patches because I like clear directions and apm pirate comps are a lot of fun to pull off. Nguyen because it's always something different. Jandice for switching stuff. Don't like Jaraxxus, c'thun, vann'dar, drek and deathwing (+ others) cos HP/ability feels really bad to have.

      • Mitchell Loewen

        @Kurgo16 Why do those powers feel bad to you?

    • ItsDongus
      Posted 3 years, 3 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell My favorite hero is Chenvaala, I love the hero power and that despite it wanting elementals, you can still get away with having it on the side for a free tavern level reduction.

        @LoewenMitchell Least favorite hero is definitely Akazamzarak, I just hate Secrets so much

      @LoewenMitchell Fav:Rag, Illidan, Xyerlla & C'thun - I'm just a big fan of their characters in lore and everything else. Would love to see Rag & Illidan do more than just affect the left and right. C'thun would love to see the hero power cost reduce so you can use it on turn 1 & buy a minion 1/x

      • JNytemarePierce
        Posted 3 years, 3 months ago (Source)
        @LoewenMitchell Xyerlla: would love to see her hero power buffed to either retain the stats of the minion, or make have it scale after each use. First time the minion is a 2/2, then a 3/3, then 4/4, etc. After all priests do you like to buff stuff. 2/x 🧵

          Posted 3 years, 3 months ago (Source)
          @LoewenMitchell Least Favorite: George,Fungalmancer Flurgl,Brann. These heroes I feel instantly create that you're going to just get scammed no point playing this lobby feeling, especially when murlocs are in. It's way too easy for these three heroes to scam the lobby. 3/x

          • JNytemarePierce
            Posted 3 years, 3 months ago (Source)
            @LoewenMitchell George scams it with divine shield poison, he is also a huge problem when mech are also in. Fungalmancer Flurgl / Brann just allows for two easy access to huge poison murlocs. 4/x

              Posted 3 years, 3 months ago (Source)
              @LoewenMitchell A change I would really love to see is tribal poison removed. I feel like it's too much of a crutch with no drawback, Oh look murlocs are in, I don't actually have to bother making my comp good I'll just scam with poison. Or make poison restrictive can only have two units. 5/5 🧵
