I started playing Samuro after they fixed the hearth-teleport bug. He was still busted. I won ⅔ of my games with Samuro and played him to level 15+ on 2 accounts (Europe, America). I haven't played him since the last nerf he received, but I'm cetain not much has changed. While his Windwalk build was OP, even with other builds, he is still too slippery to get caught in most cases, i.e. against uncoordinated teams, he will always have the upper hand.
And I got graph wrong again, nice job Fox They did good job with Samuro he is exactly as annoying as in WC3Thanks for the vids Your doing good fun ones
Hey Fox! At 2:21, you said "just focus on your micro" in relation to getting kills along your "route". I thought maybe you meant "focus on your big-picture map game, and you'll get some kills along the way, too", which makes me wonder if maybe you meant to say "just focus on your macro" there. I also could see it as suggesting focusing on your positioning and slippery abilities in team fights, so I just wanted to ask for clarity :) which are you suggesting focusing on there? Thanks for another fun guide!
IS THIS A NEW MIC???? :D ooooh, the upgrade! (or maybe I'm fucking reeling and it's not an upgrade in audio at all, but hey, at least I enjoyed it X'D)
I disagree a bit on waveclear: Samuro is great, not because of damage, but because of clones and opressiveness. 1) You can solo push into towers, because clones can tank towershots and when you swap - their hp restores. If enemy isn't on their lane, you can destroy up to 50% of one tower, before minions even come out of gates. 2) There really is no point in any lvl7 talents other than crit-splash. It is also THE ability that increases your non-hero damage, making significant boost to waveclear 3) The most overlooked detail: minions will prioritize attacking your clones over anything else. This means that YOUR minions will be healthier (sometimes I had them completely undamaged, as they were walking into towers) and if a giant clump of enemy minions has formed on some lane - you can literally tank them all, so your towers are undamaged. And remember, you can heal clones when they are low by swapping. I played like 80 lvls in QM on Samuro, mostly with Abathur-hat in voice chat. 69% win rate. Literally pub-stomping, until enemies start to walk as 5... Or until I face Whitemane.
a little bit insight on samuro and his role and his position on the battlefield. You need to separate QM and League games. Those are two different game modes with two different playstyles. Samuro is OP in League exactly because of the wave clear. He is like a murky. Except much harder to counter. You dont win game by killing enemy heroes, you win by destroying enemy core. And by the looks of it you speaking about Samuro in QM, where your dumb teammates do not comprehend the soaking and pushing tactics and just fight all the time. Hence why you think Samuro is ok hero and not strong. Which is not true, Samuro is also great in teamfights. As you can pick and delete enemy backline hero like if you are a Zerathul or better Illidan. The only situations, where Samuro struggles - if enemy has either all beef heroes (bruisers and tanks) or they have good shielding abilities (Zarya, Medivh, Uther etc)

[HERO NAME]
Ah yes
The hero that gets his ult to waveclear lmao
Nova and Ragnaros welcomed Samuro to the club, but alas it was a clone
Pre nerf liming: ult? Try my level 7.
Imperius: level 7 you say?
I'm waiting for a TLV guide haha

Nice profile pic, mate.
@@Morgan_Black Here You go, finally somebody with similarely stylish point of view :D
Might as well play TLV if you're gonna pick the second ult. Expending that much brain power for 8 secs of clone juking seems to much imo
He really embodies the historically meta style for WC3 Orcs. Hit and run, be annoying, pick your fights, and make them afraid to go out alone.
0:04 agreed, i hate playing against him, and even healing him can be a nuisance i believe
I am not a smart cookie, I am a sugar cookie

The latter
Avoid stuff in fights and the kills will come
@@hey_its_fox aah I gotcha. Thanks! :)
I want Tracer
Man, we got fox doing guides for HOTS now? It was a good run heroes, RIP.

OMG it's Dehaka
omg, its fox!
At least the clone AI is partially better than your teams AI in QM i feel
a beginner's guide to HotS in 2024? lol!!
Don't knock it this game is still well and alive on SC2
Pick him or not your gonna be the one clearing waves becuase noone else does and then get blamed for not playing with the team

For me he’s the most uninteresting hero on the entire game
Are we allowed to talk about the forbidden jutsu?
Q,B,shift+T
Didn't they patch the hearthing clone heal?
