This Deathwing Tech is INSANE! | Grubby - HotS

[@br1x1337]

I semi-onetrick DW in Diamond, and from my experience there are some hard win (Rexxar, Dehaka,...) and some hard loss (Artanis, Rag,...) matchups in sololane. I usually stay in melee form the whole game except for the hard loss matchups , Leo is neither of those I think though, while you still usually don't win, you can just stay back and try to bait him into using W and if you dodge it, you can usually go in and start using W, E and AAs to do dmg and heal and do that until his W is off cooldown. In that form I also rarely use Q in lane, except you are behind the wall and minions are on it as you can waveclear after you hit 2-3 Ws with the Lvl4 talent as well. In the hard loss matchups I usually just stay back, go full Q talents and try not to give stacks (if they are stacking) and minimize wall damage and focus on maximizing teamfights. Another thing I usually do if I got too low in HP is fountain and instantly go into the air as it reduces your time off the map siginifcantly. I also rarely use Firestorm at level 7, as it means you have to land on the opponent directly which usually asks for a Tychus, Ming or Leoric to shred 20-30% of your HP instantly, though Firestorm does work well if you can time it with a specific skill cooldown that's troublesome or there is nothing to be too bursty in the first place. With skyfall you can poke and delay cap-objectives for free for pretty long and again reduce time in the air and off the map by healing faster. If you think you will stay in ranged mode mostly, I would generally pick a different talenbuild entirely (full Q), as the talents you chose are mostly pretty weak in World Breaker form. My 2 cents 😄

Awesome, thanks!

[@0Sybylle0]

As a melee DW, do you pick n°2 talent at level 1? I almost always do, unless full Q build. I think it's the best one for survivability, at least for my game style (but maybe I'm playing him wrong?!)

[@br1x1337]

@@0Sybylle0 I personally never go 2nd tbh, 90% of the time I go 1 for melee build as it improves damageoutput in teamfights as well, very rarely 3 to reduce weakness to burst. But my level 1 and 4 talents actually have the lowest winrate on heroesprofile, so just play what you are comfortable with.

[@argenti1801]

Absolutely love it ! It must be so fun to use with the lvl 20 too. Gonna try this right away

[@frogfrogsonjr]

Yo that diablo 2 ost at the beginning was fire. Now I wish that we had Druid in Hots, how cool would be that?

[@88eljoker]

Love a good Deathwing game

[@Mene0]

Of course it's possible to love more than 1 game. I play Guilty Gear and HotS constantly for years, and also any other game I'm currently going through

[@starcloud_cho]

Got to love all the channels!

[@GrubbyPlays]

Only way to go!

[@FreshRides]

Love your HOTS content, hopefully the game gets some love, new content and return players soon. Have you played with Fan before?

[@GrubbyPlays]

Only in Fortnite ;)

[@chrisg8989]

Deathwing is always a great time! 🐲

[@0Sybylle0]

I always take n°2 at level 1 for survivability. Q build is nice too with some cc on your side, like a Johanna pour a Deckard. Not sure if you were joking about the no heal received, as it's a trait of DW ^^!

[@sinzies]

You should watch a few Grubby streams, he's usually making jokes like this :)

[@0Sybylle0]

@@sinzies Well it's not like I've been following him for years (SC2 before HOTS) ^^ But sometimes he can keep so well his straight face while delivering a joke that it can be misleading :p At least my comment will be useful to wannabe DW players!

[@sinzies]

@@0Sybylle0 sometimes we miss stuff even with people closest to us. Is useful for me already as I know nothing about DW. So it worked there.

[@FuruHataNinzaburo-w8z]

You really should do this intro every 5 videos for a good few weeks. It took me too long to find out about your HotS channel even though I almost watch no one else regularly.

[@REgamesplayer]

At 10:30 you were carrying the team. Forced disengaged with fear, triple stuns and you even did insane amounts of poke damage.

[@llamingo696]

16:28 LFG

[@Jdawghhw]

Is Death Wing good? He has a high win rate but never seems to do much.

[@0Sybylle0]

I like it a lot, mostly using him against structures. I go for the second talent at level 1 almost all the time. Q build is good if you have many melee opponents and some cc on your side.

[@tts283]

Since he is a little bit hard to get used too, I'd say people dont like trying to get good on a niche hero but people that do get high win rate. The hero is really strong.

[@Xolgrim]

How du you use it? As soon as he gets damage his CD goes to 5sec or not? can you just holt Y during landing or have you to hammer this button 20 times a second to dont geht damage till it is starting?

[@0Sybylle0]

There is a 3 seconds cooldown before you can a either after receiving our dealing damage. However when z is initiated it can't be interrupted.

[@shakohoto7901]

hey grubby have you stopped playing wc3 and aoe4?

[@whocaresaboutmyusername22]

So around 8 minutes in, Leo is using his W, but the channel isn't being cancelled by DW's stun. Why?

[@chrisdaignault9845]

Ok that’s actually hilarious

[@MultiMcdeath]

Grubby. You play AOE

[@GrubbyPlays]

Yep! Here's my channel: kzbin.info
