  • A common trend of questions has been floating around the Nexus as of late, and they pertain to everyone's favorite Stabby Daddy. Is Imperius OP, or isn't he? @Kyle Fergusson returns to try and answer this question, as well as to show how the bruiser can be used for good!

    How do you feel about Imperius? Is he OP or nah?

    • @Exozik
      @Exozik 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I used to play him all the times because of how his Q build is brutal especially at lvl 20 when you get Brand of Solarion. You pretty much delete any hero in 3 AA after you landed your Q and they have all 3 brands. But Imperius is easily counterable by displacement and CC. Since then, I became a Alarak main. I am not as easily countered, I have decent wave clear,
      I can kill as fast if I land my combo, I don't have to go back to base because I am out of mana every 5 mins and it is even easier to follow-up on my setup because I bring my enemy close to me instead of getting to them.

    Special note on his stun that you briefly touched upon: Any and all displacement ruins the finishing damage of your stun. Johanna, ETC, Diablo, Alexstraza, Raynor, the list goes on. Even the conveyor belts on Volskaya work against you. And the displacement can be on either you or the target(s). Don't be surprised when people interrupt your stun, even your own team.
    Thankfully, as also touched upon, most of the bonuses are either upon connecting or end of stun. So don't freak out over the interrupts, either.

    The build in the video is more of a self sustain "assassin" build. If you want to go main tank you really want to spec some into Molten Armor as 4, 13 and 16 E talents gives you almost permanent 20 armor as well as decreasing enemy armor by 25 if slapped on.
    Also, even if you can't stun Deathwing with Q, it still procs the movement speed from 16 Q talent and applies a mark, making it effective if you go with the Impure talent at 1 as it aids with stutter-stepping and avoiding sudden abilities that he may throw out on you.

    • @hazardous8301
      @hazardous8301 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      As most high level players will tell you, imperious is not good as a main tank. He’s tanky, but with his health nerfs he is not nearly as tanky as anyone actually in the tank role. He’s better played as a solo/this self sustain tanky assassin. He is a bruiser after all, not a tank.

  • @TheIronCast
    @TheIronCast 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    The game has introduced too much overlapping Crowd Control (Over time. There being a lot of various roles that contain crowd control without losing out on damage or support or other key parts of their identity). So it's not about having everything. It's about having a lot. Imperius doesn't have everything. But he has a lot and what he has is good.
    What Heroes of the Storm needs to really do is have diminishing returns introduced. It was stupid for them to decide that armor and buffs won't stack but crowd control basically does. Then with the introduction of Mei who has more than one crowd control on every ability (basically) there's just too much of everything going on.
    I want the players to play more than the characters to play. That's hard to do when your game design philosophy is about creating powerful characters instead of creating ways for players to interact with each other. It's easy to see this design philosophy in Mei. That design philosophy has been present for a few years now though.

  • @curtisw0234
    @curtisw0234 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Fighting an Imperius that doesn't miss their spears feels awful, since you can't really play around it in teamfights. I wish they would just slightly increase imps Q width and add a small delay that allows people time to press a button but doesn't make it more difficult to hit his Q.

    • @Freekymoho
      @Freekymoho 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      the delay is in the charge, and the fact that you can see him coming towards you. It's no more difficult to dodge than muradin's stormhammer

    Thank you, as always! Can you make a video on Artanis? Love the character, but now every other bruiser seems better at smth if picked, so even while liking the character, can't see why Artanis

    • @SwissSareth
      @SwissSareth 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Get his quest that increases his damage based on hits, and you'll quickly see why he's absolutely pickable. ;)

    • @Junglej0hn
      @Junglej0hn 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Artanis is kinda bad. I think he is interesting but his problems are far more severe than is fixable just by increasing his numbers... These are some of his problems:
      He has ok damage, but is melee and has little to no ability to stick to targets.
      He has no lane sustain
      He has no escape.
      His initiation is a very slow, telegrahed skill shot
      his initiation usually gets him killed
      because he is reliant on shields and AA''s to survive, he is countered by hard CC, blinds and shield break abilities. This is about half the heroes in the game.
      Also, he cant duo soak well, like a decent amount of other bruisers / offlaners
      his camp clear is ok but nothing special, but no sustain means he is chunked after doing them compared to e.g. your sonya.
      All in all he is really bad at a lot of things and for all the things he could be good at there is a bruiser or tank that does whatever he does much better. sadly..

    Imperius is one of the few Heroes that I don't mind being overpowered.
    In my opinion he shouldn't be nerfed.
    Some Heroes should be more powerful than others because of the lore.

    • @Exozik
      @Exozik 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thou, he's not so powerful overall. He have very severe flaws that put heavy burden on your team: been a bruiser with 0 wave clear. He also have everything put into the same basket: his Q which is avoidable and can be interrupted with displacement skills and CC. I consider him a strong last pick on 2 lanes maps or on Dragon Shire against certain team comp but that is about it. He's a strong hero for QM thou.

      This video isn't saying he is. It's made in response to people claiming it, and Kyle points out why that's not the case. Though he was broken when there was a bug with his shield/attack ult that let him recast the reactivation over and over and just melt anyone he aimed it at. But they finally got around to fixing that, thankfully.
