Samuro doesn't get nerfed. They didnt touch his kit like for years by now. Kinda the same with lunara. If you buff them, they'll be op, if you nerf them, they'll just not worth the pick. Plus minor number changing wouldn't effect his Samuro annoyance factor
Samuel is one of those heroes you hope to never see on the enemy team, a good samurai will have your lane pushed, your mercs capped and your back line constantly sweating. Just a really solid WC3 hero design brought to modern times.
Fun fact: "Shukuchi" is the name of an ability in DotA for the character Weaver. It's very similar to Samuro's E. Weaver turns invisible and gains huge movement speed, but also damages units he passes through. Not sure if that talent name is at all a nod to Weaver or if there's some other meaning to the word Shukuchi, but a fun fact nonetheless.
Fun fact: dota heroes based on warcraft heroes and units. Not to be a dick tho, but dota 2 has hero, literally copy pasted from warcraft 3 unit with same design and name Gyrocopter. So no wonder there are similarities between characters and abilities. And "shukuchi" is how Japanese name different types of fantasy/mythological fast movement techniques
Omfg..at 2:22, pally is doing his intro, completely thought a ghost was by me whispering evil threats (aka, it's 2am, I'm drunk and my wife coming to give me crap for not being in bed...pick your greater fear).
That was great. Super fun to watch and looks very satisfying to play. Honestly, Samuro and Rehgar both look like a treat to run around with. For the Horde I guess.
The fact that you want him to continue means that you have no idea how much work they (yes, they, togrther with Molly) pit into just 1 video. He said already that this is the last A-Z.
A - Z part 65 samuro one of the most fun but hard characters to play he has so many things you can do in different situations just when you play this character it's so satisfying to master this character trust me it's so satisfying
Samuro's one slippery bastard when the enemy team has one, but I haven't figured out how to make use of that property myself yet. I just don't have the right mindset to use his tools properly.
He is a beast against some random teams. Being able to delete any hero in mere seconds. But if enemy stays grouped and walk together - not much you can do about that. So you splitpush. Samuro = murky
Samuro is one of my favorites to play and Ive been anticipating this episode since Abathur. He's so slippery and can delete hero's that totally underestimate him.
Major problem with attacking enemy with real samuro and then swapping to clone in order to trick player - is AI behavior. If you fight autoattack hero (hammer, raynor, illidan, valla, etc) and they autoattack you and you swap to clone - their character will automatically switch target to real you (or keep target on real you to be more accurate). So most of the time they will keep attacking real you regardless if you swap or not.
Is there anyother hero in hots that causes as much confusion as Samuro? I can only think of Nova but i don't think she's that confusing as Samuro is judging from this video today.
I think the only way to do that would be either destroying clones when you hearth or putting his 'swap' D on cooldown when he hearths. Which could introduce a whole host of other issues I would think.
Sam can cleanse almost anything from himself by Using his Q or swapping with a clone. Poison built up? No big deal. If your timing is good, can dodge pyro etc. got tethered? KTZ chain? No big deal. Insta hearth return= lane staying power. The only thing holding Sam back is the skill of the player
54-9-1 now following your builds. I was kinda dreading this because I'm not good at micro but the match went shockingly well with me finishing 2nd in the game and on my team for damage. I made some good plays and swaps though I don't get how that queuing up a swap thing works so I could definitely improve. Maybe someone will reply with a way to explain it better to me.
Why do moba devs hate split pushers so much? Dicking around in team fights is a stupid waste of time when you can bulldoze their base while they e-peen at each other.
welp, it's boring to watch hero kill minions, then walk to other lane and kill more minions. Especially if it's meta and you see it on major e-sport events instead of flashy team fighting moments. And it's very bad for new players. That tend to go where others and stick together. Rather than counterpushing
@@rodolfofernandez4872 Not if your hero has good counter to it, I love going against a split pusher and defeating them turning that lane into a split push for my team.
Activision-Blizzard-Microsoft please make samuro viable again in pvp and stop buffing e build. E build fun build? Omg...this build takes no skill and iq to play it. It's so bad.
I’m honestly incredibly happy that I rediscovered this channel after almost 5 years. Still as uplifting and entertaining as ever
Same here! Actually started to play heroes of the storm again.
@@Soniboy84 Same. Forgot how much fun it was to not have to last hit minions
That boy sure knows how to talk
welcome back
That hearth-teleport feels really rewarding.
Next patch will come out in a week, nerfing Samuro, buffing Reghar
That's borderline disgusting. Such a cool mechanic but also must be a pain to deal with
you kinda fuсked up with your prediction, you know
@@Turned2Ice But as an honorable predictor I leave it for posterity instead of removing it in shame.
Samuro doesn't get nerfed. They didnt touch his kit like for years by now. Kinda the same with lunara. If you buff them, they'll be op, if you nerf them, they'll just not worth the pick. Plus minor number changing wouldn't effect his Samuro annoyance factor
Agreed. I was an illusion master snob back in the day. Now though the new E build with bladestorm is really growing on me.
Really nice highlight of the intricacies of samuro! Never heard of half those techniques, so it was like discovering a new hero. Well done!
Things make so much more sense now! I've never tried to learn samuro but now I want to
Kinda hope this series never ends! Love your work Pally!
Same!
I think he said that this will be the last A-Z HOTS series.
But I do hope that HotS continues
A MOBA guide where the author walks you through the entire thought process during the game, perfect. Thanks!
It's so fun to watch Pally play Samuro.
Samuel is one of those heroes you hope to never see on the enemy team, a good samurai will have your lane pushed, your mercs capped and your back line constantly sweating. Just a really solid WC3 hero design brought to modern times.
liked watching this, learned a lot. Awesome Samuro, please play this guy more
I didnt understand how to do that trick with samuro going back to the base and then returning

Always love your videos Pally, I dont really even play HOTS but it still is one of my favorite things to watch if yours.
Also Blastoise when?
I Love your work Mate!
Samuro got that: "hehehe....silly games....silly games" while he reaches for your feet under the toilet stall door: Energy
Watching a good Samuro is mesmerizing. Just the jumping around from clone to clone, getting lots of crits.
Brand new vid?
Hell yeah
Barely can keep up with all those jukes, *insert breaking ankles in basketball image* fantastic plays Pally
Omfg..at 2:22, pally is doing his intro, completely thought a ghost was by me whispering evil threats (aka, it's 2am, I'm drunk and my wife coming to give me crap for not being in bed...pick your greater fear).
Pally on a Samuro is always such a blast to watch!
I don't know how I went this long without knowing about the hearth-teleport trick
That was great. Super fun to watch and looks very satisfying to play. Honestly, Samuro and Rehgar both look like a treat to run around with. For the Horde I guess.
we need to start a petition to have pally restart the A-Z playthrough after taz dingo
The fact that you want him to continue means that you have no idea how much work they (yes, they, togrther with Molly) pit into just 1 video. He said already that this is the last A-Z.

did not know Samuro could be this fun!
A - Z part 65 samuro one of the most fun but hard characters to play he has so many things you can do in different situations just when you play this character it's so satisfying to master this character trust me it's so satisfying
Always a blast watching your Samuro games. I can't play him for anything.
Samuro's one slippery bastard when the enemy team has one, but I haven't figured out how to make use of that property myself yet. I just don't have the right mindset to use his tools properly.

They fixed the hearth teleport
I'm pretty sad... it's about to end this A-Z.. The last one... :(
I hope Pally changes his mind about Hots.
Mood. I doubt it, though. Like he said he'll still play it on stream, but probably stop posting videos of it. End of an era.
why he decided so?
that was impressive to watch. bladestorm on a 25s cooldown is wild compared to how it was years ago.
Pally mastering shadowclone jutsu
Damn I love your content man! Keep it up.
How do you D swap so quickly and accurately? Can you click D anywhere on map and it auto-swaps the closest clone within vicinity?
This makes me want to take Samuro for a test drive.
What do you guys think about crushing blow? I find it bad :/
That was amazing to watch. The things you could do with Samuro almost felt like cheating, ha.
How do you do hearth swap. I'm new and don't know what q swap means
Gotta get back
Back to the past
Samuro Jack
(Watch out)
12:12 I loved this. You're secretly a Samuro main, aren't you?
Is there anyother hero in hots that causes as much confusion as Samuro? I can only think of Nova but i don't think she's that confusing as Samuro is judging from this video today.
is NightKnight an auto generated name or something? I see them constantly and i play in EU
What changed with illusion master?
Is this backing swaping thing still works? I cant do it. As soon as I back, clones disappear and im in the base 🥺
Still works
Wow he looks so strong he is everywhere
What wouldve been your talent of choice at lvl 20?
Poor Matty he almost had him
how do you queue and action?
well short answer is no... i love the play him on "q" build and yes im that blend ...he is still strong and good on the harasment of solo laners
Never liked him before this. Good job explaining
Can we get a post nerf reghar new a-z? Pls pls pls
What would your lvl 20 be? I want to try this build.
What about lv20? What do we take?
7 weeks isn't that bad, I'm sure the Heroes balance team has a lot on his plate.
😂
So I hearth back and my clones disappear... What am I doing wrong?
I can't believe the hearth swap isn't patched yet
I think the only way to do that would be either destroying clones when you hearth or putting his 'swap' D on cooldown when he hearths. Which could introduce a whole host of other issues I would think.
Sam can cleanse almost anything from himself by Using his Q or swapping with a clone. Poison built up? No big deal. If your timing is good, can dodge pyro etc. got tethered? KTZ chain? No big deal. Insta hearth return= lane staying power. The only thing holding Sam back is the skill of the player

If I’m not mistaken alt + action = queueing. But I have not played hero’s in a bit so might be wrong
@@rebirthofsword Thanks. I did not know that was a thing I could do so I'll try that next time I play this character
As I always say: your videos are very supimpa🙌❤️
That was a fun one
That was awesome
Lol those games where you make the board with… 2 Merc camps
Someone said they were waiting for you to play Rehgar to nerf him. I think they were right.
Oh, yes. The best hero in the game.
This makes me wanne learn Samuro
JUKE CITY IS A REAL PLACE.
I really hope Microsoft revives work on Heroes of the Storm like they have revived Age of Empires.
Also that Bobby Kotick disappears
SO COOL HERO
GG!
awesome
eeeeeeelo pally

it's a shame that Samuro's skill expression kind of fainted with the rework. Do miss macro-ing clones and being an absolute menace on the map.

We all hate to get splitpushed.
@@rodolfofernandez4872 Not if your hero has good counter to it, I love going against a split pusher and defeating them turning that lane into a split push for my team.
@@ikkiville in the best case it forces you to play pve all game and forget about objectives and tfs. Its not good for the game imo.
