At high mmr he does pretty damn well. He's a really strong laner. We played a medic stim + xul team the other night and it was hilariously strong

If xul has a team built around him or even an enemy team that doesn't build around him he can dumpster you easy.

Also, he beats everyone in lane except maybe sylvanas. Pick him on sky temple and go top with zagara bot....gg freelo.

Here is an example of the freelo I speak of.....vs yours truly seiqooq

MEGA FREELO...got 131 pts for this one.

Yeah I guess just from what I've seen at ranks 15-5 he is mis-played. A lot of people I've seen using him go chasing enemy heroes like he is a Zeratul.

I still haven't purchased him simply because I wasn't that hyped about his release (not like I was with D3 wizard) and he is insta-picked in like 90% of the games I queue into so it seems like a waste right now for me to learn him. Will do eventually, though.

Does he have a hard counter on the specialist team? Like how Zagara owns Sylvanas and Sylvanas can really bully Gaz/Naz. Is there one specialist that he under performs against in a 1v1 laning situation?

hmm...well I havent played a lot of matchups vs him but if his minions give azmodan Q stacks I suppose azmo would be the #1 lane counter. other than that though I don't really think so. He counters all melee except maybe zeratul/muradin and he out lanes literally everyone.

honestly if you have more than 1 melee on your team you will probably have a bad time vs xul. if you have 3+ then you really gotta be a god to win....or the xul has to be retarded.

Still muted or muted again ?;D

Still muted....I got a 2 month mute and the login screen caps out at 30 days so I don't really know how much longer I've got left. For the last few weeks though it has said I have "30 days remaining" so maybe it's about to start counting down.

Doesn't really matter since I will get silenced instantly again though.
