Hero Tiers - What do you think?

[Rayzie]

Eladwen is hell in a hand basket, just because her ability is so strong, and with the help of some new allies she can be hard to beat with some heroes. Baduruu is also very good thanks to some good synergy now. All the warriors god buffs thanks to really good class allies.

I think those guys are the cream. No one seems to be dragging any knuckles though. I think the worst decks would be any hunters trying to build trap focused decks with survivalist or bounty hunter.

Baduruu is definately A.

Won one pop up, second in another, and I just beat Maj with Baduruu in a full tech, no lock, bo3 tournament game. If he can beat maj when she knows he is coming, and techs between matches...

Baduruu has always been decent against mages. His one bonus in 1.5. I agree he's gotten a buff, but he's not Tier 1.

I actually find it hard to pick a single Tier 1 hero at the moment. But it's probably too early to tell because there are so many archetypes floating around. Boris would be close however.

I finally had a chance to try out my Baduruu semi-solo deck today and he's been struggling a lot, way too luck based and inconsistent. Way weaker than control decks, but should probably demolish mages, it's impossible to tell since no one seems to play mages on the test server. By the number of players alone, I'd say that Boris, Serena and Lance seem to dominate, but stealth is pretty much broken on the test server right now, so many play thieves and abuse that.

I must say that all you old folk need to understand that I can't do well with the new cards but a eledwen deck that I've been playing recently (using only the CotC cards) put me in a good position on the test server and I had 2 really close games with SamuelJ in one of the TJ TS popups

And so many misplays. Me feel so n00b.

Tell me about it. Furrion Terror BEFORE your other allies.

hmmmmmmmm............. difficult to say, I don't think there is any overpowered heroes that can't be counter decked very easily. I have mostly been playing shadow heroes but I think there are a few things with the human heroes that is clear.

Jericho<Zhanna - nothing makes me want to play Jericho at all, zhannas healing appears to be too useful in too many matchups.

Human rogues now have significant problems with the new shadow allies, ironhide karash, rush weevil, wulven savage counter anklebreaker so badly that it can make it very difficult to regain the board. Part of the problem though is layarian diplomat not working and therefore not being played as much as it should. I also think many rogue players have been dropping too many of their retreat/assassination so may not be a problem at all for a well rounded rogue deck.

I've had a Jeri attempting to kill my 1 hp Karash with Wizent Staff. He lost durability on the staff and his KP.

^how the heck did you get Ironhide to 1HP?

Buffed up by Ele and subsequently suffered 4 damage.
