I picked this up and started playing it as a filler last night. The best way I would describe it would be League of Legends with training wheels.

It was poor until I unlocked the Perfect Storm talent.

It does seem you have to lose a few matches or get carried for a few matches until the hero becomes useful.

I agree with this. I liked Arthas as a good melee bruiser and chaser.

Quite a few heroes are like that, it seems. Jaina (for the mana return on hitting chilled targets) and Zagara (for Rapid Incubation) are another two that I can think of off the top of my head.

He is lower mid tier for support, still better than Rehgar and Lili but worse than Tassadar, Uther, Brightwing, and probably equal to or slightly worse than Tyrande.

Your list is all kinds of jacked up?

Rehgar is an amazing healer... Brightwing and Lili being the only other two that can keep up.

Malf is terrible, he's only competitive very late game when he ults.

Uther, Tyrande, and Tassadar are all pretty lackluster IMO.

If you need a support healer, it's between Lili, Brightwing, and Rehgar.

Simply going off of a slightly older iteration of this Tier list, though this newest one accounts for the most recent patch changes. In fact. in this one that I found (the most recent) Malfurion is actually ranked as a T1 hero. I do stand by the statement that Lili is not good. Rehgar isn't bad but Uther and Brightwing can heal just as well.

Never paid much attention to those rankings. I'm just going off of player experience, and obviously I'm not professional.

I genuinely do not understand how Malf is considered T1 aside from the fact that games are largely won late game. Meaning if you can survive to level 20's with decent towers still up, Malf can certainly turn the tide.

But he is awful early and mid game...

And who is he referring to as "Fence" ? I'm assuming Valla, but I don't get the reference?

Haha, ignore... I should have thought of this. I'm using Google Translate to view websensed pages... Nothing else was transposed, but Valla must mean Fence in some language...

My fault...

I started playing with Malfurion, but Arthas is way better tank with more tricks in hand. The fact that Malfurion stunt needs a clear path to hit, it is his biggest letdown in my opinion.
Now me and my brother are wining more since I'm playing with Arthas and my brother with Rehgar.

Malfurion stun takes a long time to arm. I really like Arthas a lot.

Krisnatharok got me started on this. Not hooked, but Valla is my champ of choice.

Yup, she is one of the most used assassins for a reason... that and she's one of the cheaper heroes.

Maybe it's just my playstyle with him, but I prefer to focus the Lightning Shield and go Bloodlust on Rehgar (my favorite support). Dead enemies tell no tal--... errr, do no damage.

Sylvanas, eh? I have always liked her as a character. She has to be a ranged assassin because there is no way she is supporting anyone other than supporting the person's swift death.

I'm just hoping she's a better hero than Arthas is as she's my #2 in favorite WoW characters (Arthas is #1).

Well my new favorite tank is Stitches, takes time to get the hang of his hook but once you have it is one of the best skills in game in my opinion, its simply amazing in a combat situation to be able to cath the healer or the dps from a group.
Is anyone playing in ranked?.

Stitches is good. And unlike Dota there aren't a ton of counters like there are for Pudge. See the hook, be the hook.

For me it is Arthas with his slow, snare and overall awesomeness. He is hard to kill and not easy to ignore.
