Her extended range and heavy siege damage makes her almost impossible to face as an Assassin until late game. She is one of my least favorite heroes to face. She’s also super sassy which I can appreciate. I’ve found that she can be helpful for newbies, since playing her is a lot about your lane positioning and knowing where you can park your tank to attack relatively safely. She’s still one of my favorite heroes to play, even if she isn’t competitive. SpecialistsĪnna: I get the feeling that, since Lost Vikings are on rotation again after so long and will therefore be freaking everywhere, this is going to be the one week ever where people are super jazzed to see Sgt Hammer on their team. He can be a bit squishy for a melee character, so using your E ability, Blink, at the right time is a must.
He fluctuates between very useful and very squishy, and in a deep dive comp he can cause a whole lot of havoc. As with all fragile assassins, your lane positioning is key to staying alive, especially since Zeratul is going to be lurking out there!Īnna: So there’s been some interesting shakeups where suddenly people are playing Zeratul again! This weekend’s NA Qualifiers saw both teams earning themselves slots, Cognitive Gaming and Tempo Storm, using Zeratul. The one thing to be careful of is that the Vikings’ big body blocking lane presence can make it tough for Kael to get out of a team fight that’s going south for him. With his AOE, Kael’thas can take out grouped up Vikings fairly easily, and with Gravity Lapse and his other DPS he can completely wreck a solo soaking one too.

Starting off, Mitch offers us some words with feeling:Īnd now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for, the pride of the Nexus: this week’s rotation!

#THE LOST VIKINGS HEROES FREE#
But in the meanwhile, let’s dig into this week’s free heroes alongside the team’s commentary. Is this Blizzard’s way of celebrating their 25th anniversary? Does this mean Heroes is actually Lost Vikings 3? We may never know. Of course that means that we all dread the influx of new Lost Vikings players making a mess of games all week. That’s right, we haven’t seen the Lost Vikings since before Heroes was launched. It’s an all new week in Heroes of the Storm, which means we have a fresh weekly hero rotation including a surprise: the Lost Vikings, who haven’t been on the Heroes rotation for 38 weeks.
