Playing an ARPG Barbarian in HOTS - Grubby

Every Moba has their version of a "spin to win" character, and today I present to you, Sonya! And not only that, this game is going the distance, with some super late game shenanigans!
The OTHER "Spin To Win" Hero: Sonya (Game played on 4-February-2024)

kudos for watching that replay and agreeing with li ming player. a huge part of the game is working in unison with the team and reading what they are doing. acting together even if it is sub-optimal call usually is better than disfunctional plays while spamming right calls and getting ignored. I think at the end the forward camp in mid is better than bottom waveclear.

[@Gruncival]

Back when I played years ago, I would even watch my replays to check out when I felt I did really well in a teamfight, and I'd often see how poorly I did and how lucky I was. It's so easy to tunnel on what you're doing during a game and totally miss how to coordinate more effectively with your teammates.

Came for the HOTS, stayed for the concept that dogs understand luck.

MURADIN wants to help SONYA!

[@Valdhiras]

Hogger vs Sonya, the battle of the spinners

[@sawwallace]

Gotta love that Grubby can immediately agree with criticism and opposing views upon watching replay, no extra emotions or resentment, just positive improvement and playing his best. big respect

[@addict4games]

More Grubby content. Always a pleasure, love your work mate

[@lapetitecuillereetlepaindo3005]

That Muradin is what's wrong with players in this game.

[@Mezugon]

"This game" try every game haha

[@NamaTiti]

Yeah, not unique to heroes of the storm. Though I do feel the HOTS community is much better than most.

[@hypno5690]

​@@NamaTitibecause it's small because the game is dying. Games usually have the best community at the start or end of the lifecycle

In fairness the issue was that he was engaging with someone with no interest in engaging in good faith. Irl lesson folks. Should have reported and moved on.

[@kilseic]

I'm glad I always hold out on my grubby subscription for the return of hots

[@nintynomreader]

10:41 It's not. It gets 'more thunderous' after lvl 4 talent pick. Nothing to do with skin. Grubby just wrong here. The proof I submit is literally any other Sonya game Grubby has ever played on his channel.

[@onkelpappkov2666]

Felt like a tilted Grubby game. The decision to prioritize fighting over offlaning early, letting Wrath drop everytime, not refreshing it with Q, running it down without fury and calling for team when it fails. But that one last bit in the end reminded me why this man is a pro. I love this calm attitude. Similarly, even if I disagree with stuff, the way Grubby explains his reasoning during the game is outstanding. It puts things into perspective for me when I consider this game a bad performance of his. Boot licking sequence complete. But for real, love the calm reasoning.

[@meowmixers9338]

Many dont know this but tassadar AA after 4 rocks the gnoll camp, can solo with minimal dmg . I like doing the pull back, taking my sip, and then out. I feel like its faster than Sonya

[@kyuirah]

"dogs feel grateful" , but they'll run away the moment they get an opportunity without being strictly trained otherwise.

[@therisingphoenix00]

What an nervewrecking and exciting round.

[@totszwai]

That Ming build blows with that 20.

[@Mene0]

"Well deserved heroes" haha

[@Donielism]

This map is so good, I kinda wish it was the only map in hots, since the other ones feel a bit old and outdated, imagine a hots2 🤤🤤 that would be so appealing to me

[@totszwai]

For HotS replay system to have skip, they need to introduce snapshot of the game state at different stage of the game. Every 5min it does a snapshot would be good I think.

[@mightybear5441]

Clenched my butt too hard, help I can't unclench it 😭

[@godfreyofbouillon966]

Teams like this make me want to play singleplayer

[@shadow77nl]

Play some deathwing so that the LoL and dota people can freak out over it!

[@mb10637]

I would like to see that too!

[@KuramaEL]

endless cost of opportunity calculations since minute 1... damn it I miss playing hots

[@chrisdaignault9845]

That whitemane root was brutal for you

[@Jeru3]

unnecessarily stressful game, lol. Mura's weird and actions didn't help.

[@luca-eu9tw]

Will you be doing Deep Guides on Hots again? I‘d love to watch it and become a better player :P

[@yordlefugger]

Does anyone know where "everyone is laughing, everybody's happy" comes from? It sounds like Tracer, but I've never heard it anywhere else before.

[@sebastiansalinas2336]

I'm actually not 100% sure but I think its Hoodwink from dota

P.s. It's much easier to take the jump for escape than to suffer with the berserker :)

[@Gruncival]

Against Anub'arak, always take Wrath of the Berserker. I don't know how that Mura thinks Leaping to kill a Whitemane and then die would be more useful.

[@VeggeMight]

Lol grubby had some very questionable and game losing decisions this time.

[@orangeviilehsreh]

Intense game

[@Mattmt56]

No wonder my PC never reconnects, it can't catch up

[@sinappanis]

Was it just me or was muradin baiting Grubby in most of the big fights and then backing up when Grubby went in? And then the Muradin went in after Grubby was dead and died 1min later.

[@101deathcore]

good content. I like that you explain shit. n why u do stuff. instead of overreaction crap

[@vyktorzhuravlev8304]

If ye do not have a fort and ye win an event, it is better to push a line where the fort is lost in order to equalize the pushing potential. I mean catapults.

[@Brother_rafael356]

is the game still alive? i miss it so much

[@wanaan]

Very long, very close game.

[@JohnnyFiction]

Love your vids and all, but lets be honest those were some of the worst engages I've ever seen my man
