Has someone else already conducted a poll like this? If so, oh well.

I'm wondering what some of your favorite heroes are. So I'm gonna say post your five most-beloved heroes and give a brief, but concise, reason as to why.

Note to DarnYak: this includes you! I'm especially curious as to which ones you like.

I'll, of course, start the train rolling.

Dread Shaman-------------Love his awesome troop support abilities, as well as his overall versatility.
Elder Treant---------------There's nothing quite like stunning an enemy heroes for nearly 6 seconds, then beating the hell out of them without restraint.
Emberwraith---------------Awesome troop killing power coupled with a potential for hero pubsmashing and strength-based to boot!
Nephillium------------------With 25 different abilities to choose from, I don't see how you couldn't love this guy.
Glacial Tyrant--------------A moving wall of fortitude that has something to say about dealing heavy damage.

There's mine, now which are yours?

I like each hero equally because it is easy to pubsmash with each one of them.

Oh and Yak doesn't play EotA, he only tests it in which case he basically sits there and writes down what everyone else has found.

Bad question. If I dont like a hero, then it's on my list of heroes to fix up ;P And yes, there are quite a few that are on that list to varying degrees.

The only hint i'll give beyond that is i don't like low health heroes, particularly short range ones, because i always die to stupid shit like typing out something when a hero walks up and slaughters me. Or "hey yak, is this working right? look at this"

So we can deduct from this, say...

Blademaster
Forlorn Martyr
Infiltrator
Harpy Queen

...and most of the Agility-based heroes? Interesting.

Note to Jamn: Your not Darnyak, so please don't post for him. Thank you.

Infiltrator is probably an exception because of her stealth ability.

At least imo she doesn't need a buff, she's one of my favorites to use.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again. Infiltrator makes for a great all around character.
She can farm, she can support, she can hero kill, she can siege, and has great mobility to boot.

My favorite heroes are:



Infiltrator--------Because nothing beats raw killing power in combination with playing hide & seek.
DarnYak---------Love his awesome troop support abilities, as well as his overall versatility.

The other 3 are hard to chose. I dont know if i can still love Bane after the Breath nerf, havent played him yet.

Soulbinder-------Nothing can stop him killing your outpost but low mana. But thats what spawns are good for.
Arcane Mistress--High damage and disabling skills.
Sorrow Liege-----6 auras for a single skill and a great tank. Oh, and flying fountains of doom.

I wouldn't worry too much about Acid Reaver. Acid Reaver was already fucked up before the cone damage was fixed.
