Fantastic interview, thank you!

[@KeeperofKittens]

Now is a perfect time to master a hero. With no new heroes released in almost 2 years and nearly 3 months since the last patch you can be assured that nothing in the game will change, so the skills you master now will stay relevant for the next 6 months before the game is shut down. Welcome to Haunted Mines!

[@tuxedobob2]

Just like Diablo 2!

[@Hefeh]

I'm sorry, what? Before the game is shutdown?

[@BadassRockets]

You think it is going to last another 6 months? I thought MS would take it over and Junkrat's mines would start blowing up the mines that Hammer puts down, and we would see a return of heroes to Aram But yah, I can see them also just shutting it down since the game is so stupid right now. It would be easier to start over than fix all the crap that is wrong.

[@KeeperofKittens]

@@Hefeh I tried to warn ya! Didn't I warn ya lad?!

[@onlyjoinedtotroll]

​@@KeeperofKittens We still out chyere

[@DrownedLamp]

When everyone is special, no one is special.

[@Dionyboz]

Hebi is awesome. Do you plan on bringing Jun too?

[@danielyaple6418]

Happy June 23rd. Enjoy your Christmas themed loot boxes. This game isn't dead! :D

[@DrownedLamp]

I dont think they allies have ur leaf/timer, but they can see the (lack) of heal over time.

[@ssvpavlos]

there's also a green effect on heroes who have the hot

[@PhO3NiX96]

You can watch for the regrowth effect on your hero when it's active, but you don't have any icon above your head

[@freaky_owl5833]

Is Lifebloom at 20 ever a good choice of talent? I assumed that the instant heal would be good if you needed to heal someone up a bit quicker but they only mentioned the Ult upgrades in this video saying the TD one is better than the other 20s, and presumably so is the Tranq one since that's what Hebi picked this game

[@simplyhebi]

I think Lifebloom can be tempting into some sort of single target tank killing comp (or a heavy poke comp), but I dislike it for a few reasons. I would argue that Lunar Shower is better even for these situations. At level 20, a diablo with full souls has about 8010 HP. Because its 10% of MISSING health and not MAX health, it's a pretty pitiful amount of healing (for example, at half health, this diablo would be getting a heal of ~400 when you regrowth him. A single target moonfire at this level is healing for 285). Having this healing loaded into Regrowth instead of having to moonfire is more efficient, but I would argue that late-game malfurion has far less mana issues and can start to prioritize throughput more than mana efficiency and uptime. You should be able to get efficiency out of other places like W accuracy, knowing when to use root correctly and not carelessly. For wanting to heal people more quickly, Tranq upgrade would provide the same amount of healing for that level 20 full souls diablo in just 2 seconds (if you're maintaining a Regrowth on just 3 people for a healing bonus of 55%, typically you should have 4 out at all times, but 3 is really the bare minimum for being in a teamfight and maybe losing focus). And this is on arguably the most valuable Lifebloom target in the game next to say, Cho'Gall. What about for a backliner like Sylv for example? At level 20, Sylvanas has a health pool of just 3619. This means for a scenario where sylv is half health, lifebloom will heal her for just 180 health. At level 20. Almost half a one-man moonfire. One second of an untalented tranquility. Its unfortunately an absolutely pitiful amount of healing. Used correctly (with 3 or 4 regrowths out), the heal from Tranq upgrade is probably higher than the heal from lifebloom except its occurring every second, regardless of how much health they're missing. One other bad habit I think it also encourages is using regrowth repeatedly on the same target for the instant heal rather than keeping Regrowth uptime on all or most members of the team. I think this is a bad mindset to get into with malf and might cause some frustration later on when you miss a necessary cleanse because someone gets gone on or CC'd because Lifebloom caused you to lose a regrowth cast on someone else who it shoulde been refreshed on. Those are some reasons I prefer the ult upgrades over Lifebloom, let me know if you have any additional questions. ^^

[@WizardyDylan]

i love these interviews

[@Arouxayis]

i was trying to figure out for the longest time why i sucked at malf. it's becauses the devs put it in all these bait fail talents that underperform in comparison to how this guy plays. moonfire heal is a wash. man i really miss old malf.. the current one has abilities and talents that never needed to be touched.

[@sinzies]

This video has some Hebi info! Useful for Malfs in paper league like me :D

[@HeroesHearth]

Next stop, Grand Master! 😏

[@tuxedobob2]

I thought that this was going to be a loss for the first 25 minutes.

[@meyoudodo8097]

hello for whats up OVERWATCHERS this is HarLIQINEN

[@KingRatt]

I have trouble targeting people for regrowth. Anyone have a tip?

[@sinzies]

Have teammates pick other heroes besides Deathwing.

[@lessiedevelop7718]

Spend a couple of minutes in practice mode/play a no-stakes match before queueing in to a serious one, to make sure you are warmed up. Unfortunately, for many issues like these, the primary tip is "keep practicing". If you're still having issues targeting post-warmup, consider the following: 1. Play with unlocked camera/no camera follow: the constant back-and-forth of the camera following your character usually makes targeting harder. It takes a while to get used to manually panning the camera by pushing your cursor to the edge, but the return in accuracy and targeting consistency is worth it. Pressing the spacebar centers the camera around your character, which makes "finding yourself" in the middle of the fray easier; 2. Reduce your cursor speed slightly: faster cursor means less time waiting for it to get to your desired target, but it also means reduced accuracy. Play around with cursor speeds over a period of a few days (by playing low/no-stakes matches) until you find a good balance for yourself; 3. Change your quick-cast settings: some people play better with quick-cast, other's don't. Play around with the quick-cast settings (both globally and on a per-ability basis) until you find something that makes you the most comfortable; 4. Increase cursor size in the game options: losing track of your cursor is something that happens, especially in a game full of visual effects and unpredictable movement such as HotS. Increasing cursor size helps mitigate that, which increases your overall accuracy and responsiveness; 5. Activate cursor guidelines in the game options: see item #4; 6. Reduce graphics/visual effects: makes the game less pretty, but also less visually busy. See item #4; 7. Talk to your teammates/use the ping system: Hebi talks about asking specific teammates over voice chat to get them to step backwards so he can Regrowth them at the appropriate time safely. You can do the same, or (if voice is a no-go) ask them over text chat at the start of the match to step into you when you ping them/yourself. Remember that Ana has a similar issue with targeting and that teammates usually comply (unless they're quite foolish, which means their deaths are their own fault);

[@dogfood142]

Wtf people still play this? They added new heroes?

[@nathanael2572]

Yes, people still play this -- even though the most recent hero was December 2020 (Hogger). It's just a really good game. :)

[@ethanarkinstall9926]

why are you making content for this dead game?

[@soundscaperecordings1111]

It's not dead
