HotS: How To Bruise Malthael

[@repairmanjack78]

I'm a very casual HotS player, and usually the only HotS content I watch is Pally. I was recommended your channel recently and I've been watching a bunch of your videos since. I want to say that I've seen a HUGE improvement in your content now versus videos from a year ago. Thank you for the entertainment.

[@ThingWub]

thanks man the means a lot! I really have tried to get better with every video I post, I'm glad its paying off.

[@NiekVink]

Agree

[@TheRealProfwalrus]

Salty Illidan, MVP Malth. Gorgeous ❤

[@ThingWub]

Some things never change haha

[@et-ig9uo]

I love your bruiser series. Ever since u started with sonya, I feel like my game play improved a lot. Keep up the good work 😃

[@ThingWub]

That's awesome!! I'm super happy your able to apply my tips to your games and improve!

[@algridas4633]

That Illidan teamate has no clue about your cincunstances and your contribution.

[@ThingWub]

He's playing Illidan on quick match. He probably had a rough day and needed to vent haha

[@kkme7]

Q build is where it's at! Just love to change the mind of overconfident enemies.

[@ThingWub]

I personally like Q build better, but W build was needed because if the range that red team had

[@soak_king]

Q build is usually worse than W build. It requires to stand near the enemy for a lot of time, which is not easy against many heroes.

[@technoch1ef]

I like what you're doing, so I support you with a like, good job 👍

[@ThingWub]

Really glad you like it! Thank you for the support.

[@XxDasantekixX]

Really love Malthael, one of my favorite hero! On maps with the knights camp, he can take it at lvl 1 solo. Always makes a strong impact early to surprise enemy by taking their because no one goes to that camp so early. I almost always go Last Rites for the quick drive by kill while rotating from lane to lane. At 13, Inevitable End is almost always the go to, mark isnt that hard to reapply especially with your ult. This game, Ethereal Existence could've been good too with Tracer and Zul'jin. Lvl 20, people meme about final curtain but it have proved me right so many time, especially with that lvl 4. Great video man! (Reached the end of the vid, lvl 16 stack with 7, that's why its so good!)

[@ThingWub]

I really love this hero too. It's a shame that he almost always gets bad quick match comps due to his play style. My personal favorite way to play him is the drive by xp farming hero!

[@soak_king]

Well, there is a significant amount of heroes who can take the knight camp by theirselves at lvl1: Hogger, Sonya, Samuro, Greymane, Raynor, Artanis, Rehgar, Illidan, Blaze, Xul, Rexxar etc. It's not only Malthael's advantage.

[@HardTrancer]

Yes!!! finally the Malthael portion of the bruiser series! Lol I too use the pale horse mount for that same reason. Going W talents with tormented ult was the right call here. You were still able to make it work even without the lvl 1 W. GG

[@ThingWub]

I really love this bruiser. He's especially fun when you get a tanky enemy team that you can heal and shred. Also I'm glad I'm not the only one that loves this mount combo!!

[@soak_king]

Going Tormented Souls vs 4 ranged heroes and Qhira is not a good idea. Last Rites would be a lot better. Even baiting Zul'jin to press Taz'dingo would be worth, because it has much longer cd than Rites.

[@nahruz.w3044]

Lets go, look forward for malthael

[@ThingWub]

No one can stop death!

[@lukemorris261]

Going backwards in time through your guides because i can't get enough! That was probably the best Malth game ive ever seen. Not because it was flashy, but because it was play exactly to his strengths into a team he had no right winning against 👏

[@nahruz.w3044]

I never thought the pale horse was a good talent. Now, i just need to get the pale horse😂

[@ThingWub]

That's the secret haha

[@soak_king]

Well, on big 3 lane maps it's definitely good. But in other cases fear the reaper is overall better.

[@trainer1kali]

It is easier for me to see how to play a character when the enemy team has a stronger comp. This way, I see in your videos what to focus on. Thnx. More hard games in the future pls

[@ThingWub]

It's hard to get that perfect balance of good game play and hard match ups. I'll definitely keep your comment in mind though!!

[@furude_san4485]

Nice job. Glad to see how you to shut up mouths like that salty Illidan´s player. Malthael is my fav character!

[@ThingWub]

It's a good feeling to win when everyone thought it was over

[@scienceoffinance1778]

Would have liked to see a game vs a Deathwing

[@ThingWub]

Unfortunately that's out of my control. However, I do have deathwing coming out next in this series!!

[@UnsolPhysics]

No talking about the candy cane skin being the best? I feel so betrayed!

[@ThingWub]

It's not Christmas though. That is the skin I rock for all of the holiday season

[@nojokes9011]

so nice to see HOTS content, thanks!

[@Saguache]

They had the better comp, but as soon as they got into the robot they reduced their advantage and played into your advantage.

[@MrShinoTheBugman]

I like your attitude. I also think you're a great player. having a plan and sticking to it is a great road to success. I'm an old hots player. I can't play right now cause my computer is garbage (said as french as possible), but it's nice to watch some matches for nostalgia. My favorite hero was Arthas and my favorite role was bruiser I played basically all the heroes in that category. I am glad to have found your series and look forward to watching all of it. (For non bruisers I also loved to play Anubarak, Alarak, Auriel, Anna, Greymane, Gazlowe, the hamadas, Kharzim, Kel'thuzad, and Zul'jin.)

[@ThingWub]

Glad you're here too! I'll keep those other heroes in mind for future videos. I have a few video on I think all of those heroes somewhere on my channel. Regardless, I'll be making many more in the future

[@soak_king]

The hamadas???

[@Pechette-1911]

Cool vid. Why not take fear the reaper lvl 1? As you said Malth is very gankable, and he has good enough clear to not need the extra mount speed.

[@soak_king]

I found it weird too. Volskaya is too small map to take pale horse.

[@ThingWub]

Personally I don't like that talent at all. I am probably just bad at using it but who knows. I really didn't want to be anywhere near the enemy heroes in this game so getting around the map and triple soaking was the best option for me in my opinion.

[@superaveragegaming6225]

Tried it just now and loved it!

[@ThingWub]

just wait till you can do it against tanks

[@LightThePrince]

Great video game!)

[@101deathcore]

who are the best quick match heroes. and who is your most fun champ.

[@ThingWub]

Heroes that have good sustain and waveclear tend to be really good in quickmatch. So things like Leoric, Reghar, and Guldan are all really strong good quick match heroes. My personal favorite hero that I always have fun on is Medivh, however Medivh is very hard to play

[@soak_king]

Honestly, there are no really bad heroes in qm, everyone is playable.

[@Marratoschka]

AS a Beta Player before Release .. i really Hope that He gets a Well deserved QoL 😢update

[@MrShinoTheBugman]

I miss when Malth was broken.

[@ThingWub]

I think about it often haha

[@soak_king]

He is still in a pretty good spot though

[@MrShinoTheBugman]

I think you spam e a bit much. use it when you need it not just to spread to lane minions (unless you're doing it to w to a hero). it'll save you mana. imo anyway.

[@ThingWub]

You are 100% right... I'm still going to do it anyway haha

[@danielp.9948]

I'm not that great at HoTS but it seemed to me that in the beginning of the game, you abandoned group objectives, while being basically the chunkiest front line. This lead to repeated deaths, even though you soaked XP, it seemed to me like a mistake. Was the objective not as important in your judgement? Unironically asking

[@Klaital1]

Tormented Souls is just such a useless ult, it pretty much did you nothing in this game, Massacre basically does the exact same thing as that ult. You should always pick Last Rites on Malthael. You can just wait until the opponent uses their whatever ability that lets them survive it first before using it. and level 20 you should always take Nobody Can Stop Death. Insta respawn is just so good.

[@St34khouse]

Anduin said 'gg' at 5:30 writing off the game after first objective. 20 minutes later he types it again having won the game. Don't be a negative nancy and just play!

[@Bucketheadxx]

People still play HotS? Lol what

[@ThingWub]

Yeah, it doesn't get updates but you find games in less than a minute most the time

[@soak_king]

There are a lot of people. Still getting some balance patches and bug fixes sometimes.
