Using Sylvanas to dominate in low ranks! Uber strong ranged assassin for carrying

[@yuuisland]

do you win every single game you play in low ranks? if not, i would love to see a loss where you give commentary on what went wrong and what are the best ways to deal with that to try to maximize chances of winning

[@effdatitsnick]

It's HotS. You can lose any game if just one person dies on their own at the wrong time, especially later in the match.

[@mrJanbenes]

Exactly as other comments said, its all about the team. In everygame that we loose is because even on platinum ranks, there are people who dont know what soak is or when to push objectives, mostly they have poor positioning. Sometimes you can even see that you lost in a pick.

[@asmbeanman]

This game demonstrated very well one of my greatest frustrations with other players in HoTs. A team that doesn't press for a team fight over something important when they have a clear hard advantage, but will press for a team fight over something unimportant (or even nothing) without any advantage. Thankfully your team wasn't that bad, but you articulate the point of "we should be doing X buy instead where doing Y" and did an A+ job of adjusting.

[@lordphill807]

people seem to do what their opponents want. Naturally they wouldn't go for fights when their enemy is vulnerable, better to fight the enemy at their strongest for no reason. After all that's what the enemy team wants.

[@eimaisklhros]

Actually I wanted to thank you NotParadox for teaching me how to control minions in the Greymane video. I would usually go clear asap the enemy minions to get the exp, while actually what I was doing was sending my minions to the enemy turrets(aka giving free and fast exp to the enemy). Now I actually delay , wait for my minions, clear the enemy enemy wave, and send at least one and a half wave of minions to the enemy turrets = more dmg and less exp to them.

[@eimaisklhros]

@Jared Bailey I wrote that before the exp globes update. Right now, lane control is even more important. Especially when enemy wave is closer to your towers. You can completely deprive them of exp now.

Wholesome Varian

[@8elcher]

As one of the players on your team in this game. It's interesting to see things from your perspective. Especially since I know what the comms were for the 2 of us that were in a group. What I find most interesting is that as a bronze/silver player who probably deserves to be in this rank to me this was an ideal bronze silver game. I would find more value in a game cast with someone who has 4 wins and 36 games played with like an abba or maybe a nova thinking theyre good but don't really contribute a lot in any way. How do you bridge that gap? *Edit for clarity: what I mean about ideal is that even though we are not skilled players we worked together to achieve. The gap required to dominate in this game for a pro player is much smaller than what is required for a non cohesive team. Thanks for the video 😎

[@effdatitsnick]

Learn what to do at the right time. He explains the best options for Alterac in the video moment by moment. Each map has different timings, rotations, bosses, camps and objectives which have varying amounts of value. There is usually always a #1 option for you and/or your team to be doing at the moment based on stage of the game, composition and if you picked off any enemies. You can win a lot of games solely on knowing how to play the maps. In fact, it might be the most important factor next to drafting.

[@effdatitsnick]

Furthermore, NP makes it a point that if your team isn't doing what you called out, despite it being the best option, you don't want to commit to it alone. Just fall back and submit to whatever strategy your team is going for at the moment. Sometimes you need to accept that at low ranks your team wont always play the correct way. You just need to do your best to not tilt them and wait for the correct moment to make a game changing play.

[@effdatitsnick]

And lastly, you won't win every game you play. At any rank. No matter how good you are. HotS matchmaking is busted and only gets worse with a diminishing player pool. Not only that, but it is not a great game for hard carrying. There is no gold/item economy and there is team shared experience. Without teamwork, you only have what your hero + talents give you to work with. If you have any teammates who are particularly bad in comparison to the rest of the match, you are at a disadvantage and they might make a game losing mistake more often than another player. The one way to mitigate losing in the circumstance of bad teammates is selecting a hero which is capable of carrying (i.e: high killing potential or other game changing aspects like ability to double soak XP or crank out camps/bosses). I am a master player and I was able to get a smurf account to platinum in 2 days just by playing Jaina as she can kill waves with 1 blizzard, do siege camps very easily with ice lance at lvl 7 and performs very well with high burst AOE teamfight abilties. Just find a couple characters that you can make big plays on in MOST matchups and stick to those to give yourself the best chance to carry bad teammates.

[@briarbehr]

You know if you aggro the minions at the objective you can circle it after you captured it and they will follow you instead of fighting them.

[@Riokaii]

Fighting and killing them if you have nothing else to do is better, it means if a fight breaks out that it will take longer for the minions to channel the obj to take it back.

[@EugenethePhilostopher]

The only thing I learned from this video (for what I thank you) is that I'm using my abilities way too often on Sylv (so no wonder I'm having mana problems quite often). Otherwise, this is a suboptimal build IMO. I usually pick the standard semi-pro build (T1131224) and consistently get to both top siege/XP and hero damage in the match. It has superior waveclear (I can't think of any other hero that can destroy a wave - including huge double or triple waves - in literally 2 seconds like you can do here), survivability (double E, life drain and bolt of the storm) and hero damage.

[@YodaIstMagisch]

literally every hero is uber strong if you are a gm player smurfing, lol

[@NotParadox]

I get that, part of the reason I am doing this is to show people "Even in hots you can make a difference with bad teams." This sylv play isn't even the best, I played a safe, consistent sylv that any silver/gold/plat player could learn and practice. The team isn't really that bad either, they are just in this rank. But people say they "always" have bad teams, when in reality, you alone can make huge differences.

Yup this is pretty common in this rank, the big mistake is not paying attention. If your team is not pushing with the objective, head out so you don't die alone for no reason.

How to play Sylvanas against Kaelthas? He just pyroblasts me to Oblivion each time we meet

[@ErnestHemingwayy]

spell shield talent (if Sylv has one) and get the two E talent so you can get away as much as possible then mount up.

[@Yorekani]

@@ErnestHemingwayy TL:DR: Don't pick Sylvanas if Kael'Thas isn't banned or on your team. Other ranged assassins have better tools to deal with him. Sylvanas doesn't have a spell shield talent. The time it takes to channel Pyroblast is enough time to interrupt it with Wailing Arrow. Try to stay in your healer's range without taking further damage. That's about it. If your team doesn't have abilities which grant (spell) armor, (damage) immunity or at least damage reduction to be applied to Kael'Thas, then your team probably derped in draft. In general, not banning Kael'Thas when your team doesn't have first pick is already considered a good reason to get tilted by many low league players. While mobility is nice, even with Windrunner, you'd probably only need to be around the wall of your Keeps to get into the Hall of Storms in time. Sylvanas can cover great distances with Banshees if she doesn't run in the same direction, but the Banshees themselves travel at maybe 130% base speed. Trying to outheal it after level 16 usually won't work out because to deal that damage you're also close enough to receive more damage from the enemy team.

[@mikeyourbag8997]

So you need to out damage him. Use the W build. Once you get good at it you can do combo of banshee curse wave (level 7)and the W quest (level 1) which multiples damage to whomever is cursed and adds attack damage at the same time. Pyro blast is hard to beat. You need to stay in high health with him on the map. That's what I do. Frequent heals, using the arrow for silence works too if you're low on health and he is near then haunting wave and a W then he melts away. Learning to read the situation. Best of luck

[@planlessTV]

I'm near master (3 wins off). I like dagger build, but it is way more bursty and has way less sustain. It looks like the Q build has a lot more sustain. Also, this is just me, but I love quests as it gives me something to do and aim for.

This is the problem with how they nerfed Sylvanas: yes she dominates against low ranked, basically new players, but she's basically worthless against middle to veteran teams in any game mode. The way they nerfed her damage across the board is pretty disgusting.

[@arubaow2485]

So do you recommend not going W stacking quest at low ranks??

[@ErnestHemingwayy]

stacking is only good against 2 melee frontliners.

[@Yorekani]

Stacking quest punishes you for taking camps and catching waves. The common theme with these heroes is to gain little advantages early, which either snowball into something bigger over time or at least break the fall of your earlier losses/throws. It's not as bad as Nazeebo, but it's the same principle. Yes, the dps of a stacked level 20+ Nazeebo is unholy, but getting there without your team folding over is the hard part. "Might of the Banshee Queen" gives 30% spell damage and attack speed and all it takes is pressing Q and waiting 1.5 seconds. Considering Sylvanas' other abilities also have travel time, it's more like waiting one second, though. Attack speed is even more useful because the trait can be stacked faster and allows for more crits once three stacks have been reached. Those 30% also increase the life you can leech because of the increased damage dealt. It's also important to note that it affects the damage of Wailing Arrow as well while a lot of similar talents on other heroes got the "only affects basic abilities treatment" after a rework. It should definitely be enough damage to 100-0 non-tanks in the lategame.

Gabriel Abdi q is safer in plat

[@Kashiarii]

It is comp and map dependent. Only pick W if you think you are going to get shitload of stacks.

[@Toast_94]

I don't play sylv a lot but I think it depends on the enemy comp. If they have multiple frontliners then W build is going to stack up generously, if they have a lot of mobility that you may have a lot of difficulty landing a W on, then go with Q build.

[@ErnestHemingwayy]

none. It depends on comp. If your brainlessly always pick all W or Q you're going to lose. Pick a Talent to counter others, not to play your way.

[@Arkzus]

I find it really rather irritating that following your team when they're doing something stupid is considered good advice.

[@Yorekani]

TL:DR: Heroes get bursted down way faster in lategame and the longer death timers don't help. One hero down often means giving up a keep. Two heroes down and there's a good chance the match is over. It is, though. Especially in the later stages, death timers are just too long to justify even one death. Not only are the death timers longer, but teamfights become more volatile as force multipliers (e.g. Smash Varian) and other damage talents (and ults) are picked by both teams. Even without considering that, both the level-based boni to max HP and damage (physical+spell) scale 4% up per level. If it's a 1v1, fine. Any time more than one hero attacks the same target, the damage bonus outpaces the max HP bonus, adding to the burst potential. Long story short, don't bait your yourself or your team into outnumbered fights in the lategame. In the early- and midgame, you can trade forts and keeps and compensate for a bad fight. That doesn't work if they can threaten core, though. It's pretty dangerous to split up after level 16 and even more after level 20. Regardless of who dies, your team loses map presence until that hero is back, or they risk the match by taking an outnumbered fight.

If he wanted to style on them, he could've stacked Shadow Dagger damage quickly thanks superior stutterstep mechanics and chunked their whole team starting at lvl 7, because he knows positioning better than them, meaning he's more likely to survive even without having Banshees (Haunting Wave) ready for escape. That'd probably look cooler, but if a random Silver player tries to learn from that they'll usually get chunked so hard each time that they're useless after the first wave, if they make it out alive. Besides, as much as teamfights are important, they can be avoided early on outside of objectives. Sylvanas was picked as showcase because she has good waveclear and good campclear on top of her teamfight damage. All that while Haunted Wave is one of the most reliable escapes if you remember to use it early enough. Ideally, you want to stay healthy enough to continue fighting.

Lol You don’t have a clue how low ranks work and ‘how to smurf’ is not useful for anyone playing in lower ranks. You don’t know what is possible in low ranks for a low ranked player because you are not a low ranked players. All your doing here is feeding the idea to people that smurfing is a ok thing. Its not. The entire video you gave just 2 bits of information that are actually useful. Please go back to making good content.

1:14 This is a channel, which a lot of newer players will watch for guidance. And the first thing you show them is ignorance towards your own team? One of the things that loses games? That's just really arrogant to be honest.

[@Serenity23582]

Apart from that the video is really good and the things you learn in terms of map awareness are huuuge!!

I'm a new player and I don't think like this. With this, I saw some mistakes I was making in my low rankeds... To be honest I really like the format of the video.

There is a HUGE difference in telling people what to do in game and having people voluntarily come to a video to learn. You ever have someone randomly get mad at you for picking a wrong talent? You ever want to just respond "It's the right talent, and you are wrong?" Yeah I don't really like saying anything in chat that will get my team typing. I always want everyone to play the way they are comfortable playing. It's easiest to carry when everyone is comfortable and you do the heavy lifting.

[@Serenity23582]

@@NotParadox Well the point I want to make is, that you shouldn't make an example of ignoring your teammate asking for a contructive opinion.

@@lucasegberto3691 The format of the video was pretty good actually, as I indirectly stated in my response to my own comment.
