I have a feeling I'm gonna absolutely LOVE to play this hero! Seems like one of the strongest support heroes at this moment, both in early laning stages and in team fights! So awesome.
@Mondok94 What do you mean? There are lots of skills that happen to be without disable. There are dots and nukes, heals and buffs and many more. The point is that S2 heroes always have just so much disable potential. Pretty much every hero they release these days has at least 1 stun and 1 slow. Sometimes they add a silence as well and usually an escape mechanism. A balanced hero has usually 1 disable with very few exceptions.
@xOxymoronic The escape is of course not the cocoon it's the movement speed buff from the ult. Kinda like windrunners third just AOE and it gets rid of debuffs (not sure if windrunners does similar things as well). The stun, well yeah its a mini stun but it's good enough to cancel all kinds of channelings so it's still very strong and on the top of that it silences and immobilizes you.
I may be allergic to pollen irl, but I'm certainly looking forward to be supporting with this hero in 4 week's time. Well, I've most likely forgotten about her once I get to play her, but still.
Please thumb this comment up for other folks to see: The hero at around 2:00 is an alt avatar of Emerald Warden. The Nyan-Cat courier is an already available alt-skin. The hero towards the end is an alt avatar of Behemoth. The intro music is listed in the credits. This hero is not "OP," since it hasn't even been released - until the competitive scene gets a hold of it it isn't worth arguing about. Yes, it's a butterfly. Butterflies are cool.
@Dremux117 Well if u have tempest ulti, (wich is dangerous as u may know) u need tactics from both sides, aka enemy team cant stay close cause they need someway to cc temp, and the same thing for the team having temp, they need to gather the enemies somehow, this is one example of many cases where u need tactical use of spells. About Flint ulti, it costs 375 mana, and has a DPS of 66,5 MAGIC dmg, ( ez migrated with more magic ar) Flint is not good with around 40 dps about MMR, no more letters.
@MrKnpbro nah, most of the times the electrician just use it to purge and slow the enemy :P Monarch's shield also felt like glacius' imprisonment but teammate only and extra heal.
@Mondok94 My point is that S2 heroes have all of these things while original heroes usually don't. Do you think every hero needs a escape + stun + disable + slow to be viable? S2 seems to think that and I simply disagree. The only unique skill is the cocoon.
Looks pretty awesome, both the ultimate and the 1st spell, very unique, although some similarities can be seen (rather impossible to avoid every small coincidence and still make a logically balanced hero), aswell as the 2 others being pretty damn usable aswell! :)
First Skill: Damage, Mini Stun, Silenced and Immobilized. (3 second max) Second Skill: Decent early heal and protection. Third Skill: DPS plus slow. Ultimate: A more powerful electrician skill limited to your allies. Multi-disable, multi-supportive spells, and good DPS early game. Confirmed: This is an S2 hero.
@Xardrion Okay, I have around 1200 matches in LoL and 550 in HoN under my belt. How does tactical and dangerous spells relate to one another? Longer cooldowns? Flint Beastwoods ulti has a 10 second cd, yeah it takes 275 mana but 10 seconds... how is that long? It does 665 damage... just get some mana regen and you can pop your ulti off non stop. And "they know they can't win every game" at 1700+ doesn't make sense. If you are getting rolled, you know you will lose. Level of MMR is irrelevant .
thumbs up.....for the bloopers.
I have a feeling I'm gonna absolutely LOVE to play this hero! Seems like one of the strongest support heroes at this moment, both in early laning stages and in team fights! So awesome.
I like intro
I miss this so much :
look at magnus lol
same thought bro. it feels like i watched the definition of happiness
@kingbane2 it's also a mini stun.
It can cancel TP's and other channeling abilities and immobilizes you afterwards.
Watch the video again.
Ulti seems pretty awesome! :D

@NylePudding yes it is, she does all the hero spotlights on the new champs but yeah shes had that name for a long time
@xOxymoronic The escape is of course not the cocoon it's the movement speed buff from the ult.
Kinda like windrunners third just AOE and it gets rid of debuffs (not sure if windrunners does similar things as well).
The stun, well yeah its a mini stun but it's good enough to cancel all kinds of channelings so it's still very strong
and on the top of that it silences and immobilizes you.
@Metyletylhexanoat can't purge enemies though, which is part of why electrician's ult is so strong - removing Jeraziah's ultimate and such is crucial
the music at the beggining is simply incredible
i wish they still made hero spotlights like this
That blooper was the most human thing you've done, MsPudding
I may be allergic to pollen irl, but I'm certainly looking forward to be supporting with this hero in 4 week's time.
Well, I've most likely forgotten about her once I get to play her, but still.
The production value of these videos is 100x better than LoLs
This hero seems ridiculously good. Cant wait to see her in comp play

Even though I don't play this game anymore, S2 does have a good video production team.
@danw91 ye, strongest use of elcs ult is purgin big buffs, like jeras ult or before the nerf hammers ult
MS PUDDING, I MISS THE SMILES THAT I MAKE WHENEVER YOU DO A HERO SPOTLIGHT!!!!
where can I get the songs used in these videos I F'in love em. music factory does give me much
@IPrayingMantisI you still can attack if anyone is in the range of melee attacks (something like 128 units im not sure)
this hero looks so awesome
wonder who made the must for this, its awesome
@raymond30031 it's in the description. This guy has been handling the intro music for a long time now. Go support him :D
Ms. pudding never fails to make me smile...
@Shapririon funny, we had puck's warcraft 3 model as a placeholder for monarch in test client
im in love with mspudding's voice
ms pudding is absolutely adorable towards the end
The intro track is so soothing...
I love the music at the beginning.
@Dremux117

Good Newwwwwwws Everyone!
This hero doesn't have any kind of "blink".
@Ryodakun yea, it's an interrupt not a stun.
@shadowcurtain i meant it's a Magina skin-look-a-like-thingy alt for magebrain. xD
@jr081104 that's an alt skin for magebane, HON's Magina making magebane both look and play like magina
Dammit S2. Stop having the best intros of all time D:!
Must figure out answer to the last question! Also monarch seems really cool cant wait to play him..
@TheRealRandomMod I might use that as a song!
@ichig0213 It cleansed the slow cast after, rendering the ulti pretty useless, not a counter per se.
@Metyletylhexanoat nope, since elec only despells debuffs(no stuns) while monarch also despells debuffs
@J4ke483 5:16 is the heavy metal taunt.
@NuZxJansson It was Ms Scout healed.
I don't see the difference between the "old, temporary spell effect" and the current one.
@SinisterMJ Magmus, what are you doing in there with Monarch?
@IshilonianTrebliF the alt avatar of magebane is already here?
@Ryodakun you do realize that it's not a stun right? it's a root and silence. so less effective when used on say a flint or something.
@MrKnpbro nah, most of the times the electrician just use it to purge and slow the enemy :P
Monarch's shield also felt like glacius' imprisonment but teammate only and extra heal.
@MrStrungattheHotel they are working on other stuff already
@shahmee96 dude that magebane avatar is already here since last friday
LOVE the starting music
@Mondok94 My point is that S2 heroes have all of these things while original heroes usually don't.
Do you think every hero needs a escape + stun + disable + slow to be viable?
S2 seems to think that and I simply disagree.
The only unique skill is the cocoon.
Elephant Behemot was so spammed that S2 had to put it on game
Looks cool. It looks fragile as anything but dexterous too. Anybody know what the new alt avatar is?
Looks pretty awesome, both the ultimate and the 1st spell, very unique, although some similarities can be seen (rather impossible to avoid every small coincidence and still make a logically balanced hero), aswell as the 2 others being pretty damn usable aswell! :)
@Dethoras Because I play and enjoy both.
God dammit S2...why do you have the greatest intros of all time?
@hyrophant agreed! I think that they should balance for example Pred, Devourer, Armadon and all the other OP strength heroes.
so her ut is somewhat like elec with a sotm? The only down side is that it is a small vector line of cast effect ....
Butterfree uses Stun Spore, Poisonpowder, Harden and Silver Wind!
I'm totally catching this one.
love the sound
@Sardonac Good way to put it :)
@shinjosai yeah and i dont get how people missed it since it was out last video
@Ryodakun using a long cd ult to escape. hmmmmmmm, working as intended?
Is is Mspudding that is giving the voice for this hero? :o
@HardstyleMusicHQ ty so much!
First Skill: Damage, Mini Stun, Silenced and Immobilized. (3 second max)
Second Skill: Decent early heal and protection.
Third Skill: DPS plus slow.
Ultimate: A more powerful electrician skill limited to your allies.
Multi-disable, multi-supportive spells, and good DPS early game. Confirmed: This is an S2 hero.
@themastermindedful What do you think a stun does?
@cyanidedreamer it was a buff to hammer, not a nerf :P
Your laugh is amazing MsPudding!
I fucking LOVE this hero :D
Does anyone know this intro music? its awesome!
@ForevrGoneForevrHere 3 seconds is a long stun? or am i wrong?
wow, behemoth looks so great
I really love this hero. Best support char ever! Cheers S2
ctuhuluphant will be combining with behemoth!?
Ms Pudding you are my butterfly.you make me smile even when i play bad....
I would suggest nymphora is the best support..she can stun,heal,give mana,teleport anywhere in the map with allies.
@KB24akaRonald Wan't me to tell you?
I will record it next time
ok.... nice but.... the 2 skill does only heal or have any kind of proteccion or dmg block?
Loved to play her!great champion:)
Wow The music is so amazing!
the best part of the video ms.pudin blooper :D
@TheJethrotull32 they stopped since mid 2010. After that it's all S2 original
Why is monarch in Hellbourne? She is a goddamn BUTTERFLY !
@Xardrion Okay, I have around 1200 matches in LoL and 550 in HoN under my belt. How does tactical and dangerous spells relate to one another? Longer cooldowns?

And "they know they can't win every game" at 1700+ doesn't make sense. If you are getting rolled, you know you will lose. Level of MMR is irrelevant .
I like it! The playstyle seems interesting enough. Can't wait to play her! :D
gonna play monarch so much.....
I don't know where they get the blooper ideas (Tobuscus? O.o) but keep it up S2
This might actually the first time im really afraid of a new support hero
OP!!
THIS THING MADE AN ANNIHILATION!!
@Dethoras Cause it is fun to debate, no?
@ianuntilnow except for the fact that lux's immobolize is a skill shot and it doesn't fucking silence you.
we all miss her :(
@dybeen Nymphora is a fairy not a bug (pixie)
Great spotlight! Good job
way to give us what we need s2. bring back safe play.
gotta love, s2 always use scout as the "rabbit"
