[@Kalleosini]

I can't use this guide, not because I'm plat rank but because of this moment right here: 1:31 you ping retreat, deciding not to fight, and you team actually backs off. this doesn't represent the kind of environment I play in. nice video anyway.

[@BayBerry1337]

Ebon Hawk what about when he pinged the turn in, and varian took the camp?

[@Kalleosini]

@@BayBerry1337 key word "took" the camp, in my environment people will mostly only take camps after the enemy hits lvl 16 and are all MIA.

[@algalkin]

in my games my team would be just having 4 v 5 in the mid for the whole game, dying and blaming me as a tank for not be in the mid with them constantly

[@Kalleosini]

@@algalkin oh you know I can relate to this.

[@TheNUIHEO]

this. no one respects pings... everyone just ignores it.

[@chesh1re_cat]

IMPORTANT NOTE! You have to press D before R when you do the ulti-trait combo. You can't press D once R is activated. Love the guide!

[@ChkSumErr]

I like the emphasis on playing safe and capitalizing on their mistakes. ETC is my favorite for doing just that. Might put some more playtime into blaze . I like the tank videos. Thanks @NotParadox. Keep up the great work I never miss a video.

[@eduardbrockel8290]

Can you show us a game that you turned around or a game where you actually played with a team that is worse than yours? And can you show us the playstyle of your heroes more detailed, like you did with greymane.

[@tomallen7520]

Would LOVE to see more Blaze videos! My favourite hero, and your Li-Ming kill is the kind of skilled play that's geat to see on any character.

[@beboppocky77]

I'm really like this series. I like how you explain as you play instead of commentating on a replay.

[@charlesedwards4772]

I've found that Azmodan, in my pleb-tier games, usually gets his 200-stack quest done around level 14 (the one in this game completed at 15). That's a long time and have usually lost a lot of structures by being behind the power curve for so long.

[@IdrewmyProfilePicture]

hi, Blaze is one of my main character's and I've heard before to not pick Blaze into Diablo or Garrosh and it might have been from this video or another one of yours, I was wondering; who would you pick into a Diablo or Garrosh?

[@wowitsnicify]

What talents do you recommend for Blaze

[@yourselfgaming897]

I don’t mind seeing Joanna videos but it’s great seeing diversity in characters

[@icd9418]

When you don't fear to get any cc or have a Uther than you should try Adrenaline Stimpack with combustion. First activate the stimpack and then combustion. You can catch up to everyone to damage them.

[@kisshereful]

this build is more consistent because you're self reliant with it but the speedypyro with the combustion is way more fun

[@Xelnarash]

Nice Vid ....and and now for the fire and Ice ... maybe some kel'thuzad XD

[@otakusan2003]

Do you still stream?

[@GoddamitJmie]

So my Blaze is level 53 or so and I honest to god love this her , I can just turn my brain off when im playing him , as far as my play style goes , you have 2 options with Blaze , you can just play super safe and never do anything that even looks like it would kill you and you still just win the game by laning like paradox is doing , but my prefered play style is just doing in and still never dying , just do not go in on anything where you know theres more than a 50% you cannot get back out with your life and you will just cc train people into the ground while body blciking them and literally just burning them down , im also a fan of bunker for the armor gain you and your team can just jump in and out with poke and refresh it and the level 20 armor gain off the bunker for team fights is absolutey crazy , if only you and you alone get the armor from the level 20 bunker its still worth it

[@EntropicRussian]

Its been my experience that i go meltdown at 4 when smurfing in silver allowing me to 1v1 or hold against the team to keeping bringing the damage after a combustion. And i go adrenaline pack. I have found that silvers hit their own targets rather than follow up om CC consistently. Instead I focus on doing as much dmg and cc as I can and to sweep up kills, body blocking with adrenaline pack. Still nets me a ridiculous WR, only downsides are that i lose unstoppable and have slightly smaller oil spills.

[@chrisrigby4087]

Great Video!

[@RodolphMars]

your team played pretty well considering it is in low rank. that cain had many excellent lorenado, and the janna too ulted well. only the varian seemed pretty bad.

[@Evilstealer404]

the moment, when silver has more teamplay than my diamond. sigh.

[@Poifix]

If it aint the twin blade Varian doing absolutly nothing.

[@brandonsanders2767]

my team can be 4v4 in top or bottom lane 3 levels down, and im soloing against the other teams solo laner, and my team loses and blames me for not being with them even though its 4v4 and we are down levels and a talent advantage

[@weeza]

Most people cannot add numbers up to 5, when you add Abathur the math just gets overwhelming.

[@Multotive]

What about azmo next? his AA build can carry in low ranks easy when you have at least healer and tank

[@Yorekani]

Mentioned in the video. Azmodan has good sustained damage, but little kill pressure. It works in low ranks because players refuse to back out of a fight, but once you reach a rank where they pay closer attention to their resource bars and cooldowns, Azmodan is a supbar ranged sustain damage dealer and he is outmatched by other sololaners, so the "Run it down" strategy relies on the enemy team neglecting macro and you having better map awareness than them, because that strategy doesn't work out if you keep dying to their ganks.

[@Multotive]

@@Yorekani i can agree he is so easy prey to ganks so im not playing him as solo lane anymore, bcz you need stacks - you killing minions - lane pushing to enemy towers, you become free kill and might lose some xp if playing safe, and you not as good in afk pushing without talents like naz or zag, so i prefer stay with my team, make safe stacks on mid creeps & heroes, but not giving too much attention to just stacking, but trying to kill someone in early game(huge dmg by E on start), and try not to lose all T1 forts before lvl 13, which gives insane buff for your trait demon, so he can push lanes very well, which is awesome stacking with lvl 3 talent off cooldowns with AA, and lvl 7 multiple attacks on close targets, in fights you can give nonstop pressure to opposite lane you fighting in, but its easy countered by some matchups and heroes, so my winrate in this season like 55% with azmo(sure im not a pure god on him and also can make mistakes,but mostly im losing when we have bad pick ourselves (no waveclear, tanks, etc)), i hope you get my point

[@Yorekani]

@@Multotive I didn't say Azmodan has low winrates, but that he's lacking in some parts which become more important the higher your rank goes. Looking at GM matches, even they neglect macro sometimes, but not nearly as much. In other words, Azmodan picks yield diminishing returns with rising rank. This doesn't mean Azmodan is a bad pick, though. I think a better example would be Kael'Thas. He's perma-banned in lower ranks because he gains extreme value from enemies making specific mistakes (positioning), which happen less often in higher ranks, which is why he isn't permabanned there and other mages like Jaina are preferred.

[@Alexander23005]

Subject irrelevant question. Why did they make the autoattacking animation of Blaze looking so crappy and shitty? Why doesn't he just constantly flowing fire? Like Zarya or Tychus???

[@Panduhmoanium]

AYYYYYYYYYYYYY IM THAT VARIAN

[@the_primal_instinct]

"I'm never gonna smurf again", he said :Р Okay okay, this is probably recorded a month ago

[@be8059]

Maybe a Uther video?

[@FireW700]

Especialy about solo lane Uther, wich become a thing recently.

[@tannermilo]

tbh though that azmo never left bottom lane until the game was over which is really stupid because azmo should be double soaking and getting free stacks of heroes

[@MrPorto4ever]

yeah, either he doesn't understand his gero or he was forced to soak not because anyone from his team wanted to.

[@dattriondikerson546]

Hello I noticed something and that is the phrase " Hi guys, I just wanted to show you/Hi guys, so..." try something else for start xD but still your videos are awesome

[@sisez7820]

I dont know why blazenoobs always fire up their w. The slow is so good

[@daddyrs817]

why u dont show hard games when ur team is feeding left and right

[@toshizue8627]

Because you don't learn anything from those. These videos have been generally informative, and less 'entertainment'.

[@Yorekani]

These videos are teaching you how to win as many matches as possible. I don't remember NotParadox claiming that you could win/"carry" any match/team. "How does one win as many matches as possible?", you may ask. Well, one straightforward way of achieving that is figuring out which actions on your part lead to more wins and then consistently performing those actions. NotParadox is making these videos because it is easier for him to figure out those actions with a better chances for victory. You may already perform a lot of these actions before having watched these videos. A lot of his actions take a bit of practice before you'll notice a considerable difference in performance. For example, "avoiding unnecessary damage" is easy for him because he made this playstyle his habit. Forming habits takes some time. However, notice how rarely he has to heal himself through backing, wells, or igniting his Oil Spills. I rely on the healing of ignited Oil Spills way more, which drains my mana more quickly and leaves me with less opportunities for slowing the enemies, like he does.

[@sparkdrako]

@@Yorekani dude you understand it all! hope all HotS players saw this vid and read your coment Im sure all players would enjoy and understand this game better

[@EdwardNigma950]

When zul'jin(((

[@PoliteElliot]

"free wins in low ranks" - putting it on KZbin doesn't mean its not smurfing

[@crudman69]

Appreciate the vids but where you chased down the Ming I beg to differ that it's not a "little bit of understanding". Maybe you know Ming has a short CD teleport, but there are soooo many heroes. Replace Ming in that situation with each and every other hero and I doubt the average gamer would know what to do in each and every situation. The average Gold/Plat player may know a lot of the enemy abilities, but remembering the duration of ALL the heroes CDs AND talent mods? That's something non-GM/masters players can't do. We don't have the time to study and memorise the heroes like its school. The same goes for most of your other passive plays. While it looks easy and you're not doing 'crazy plays', you're using your expert game sense to know things like how far to extend, when to leave, where to stand, when you can just farm spider pieces with no repercussions, etc.

[@Pompeij]

What I don't like, specialy in low ranks (and you did, too) carry jewels around for no reason. There is no bonus for hand in more.

[@jetdj8400]

Varian bot

[@EdwardNigma950]

JetDJ why?

[@cancerousmojo]

@@EdwardNigma950 Varian has an ability called Parry which allows him to block damage, as well as good self-sustain after level 7 with Second Wind. These attributes make him the most ideal member of their particular team composition to solo lane, which on this map is the bottom lane. It could have also been Blaze, but since he was globe hunting it made more sense for him to rotate between top and mid.

[@EdwardNigma950]

cancerousmojo how does it prove, that vaarian is bot?

[@aphelion89]

@@EdwardNigma950 Varian is the bruiser in this comp. He's not tanking, and Jaina is needed as ranged dmg. If you think Tracer should be down there instead of Varian...well...Can't help you any further. That leaves only Varian to solo lane.

[@EdwardNigma950]

Tempest ok, I thought, that he said, that varian is bot like "AI", now I understood, that he's talking about positioning, that varian should be on bottom "bot"

[@NorthstriderGaming]

Mommy, look. Another of these people that ruin ranked matches because of smurfing.
