should I play gazlowe as a roamer or strictly laner in early to mid?

set down turrets in position in lane and then roam

or just push lanes until objective or team fights

shove lane and depending on a lot of variables you can choose to help team with objective or ignore....it takes a lot of games in general to get a feel for when X decision is better than the other and you'll definitely get raged at by your team a lot but if you really wanna play gaz then that is something you have to be okay with lol.

Had a LiLi last night tell my teammate that he wasn't going to heal him because he was teamfighting when he should have been laning.

I'm starting to grasp the concept of the game and the way I see it, the game is way less dependent on kills/team fights and way more dependent on objectives/mercs/lane pushing compared to other MOBA's
I want to think Gazlowe is better than what people say or where people put him

What is the main reason people put him at the bottom?

Gazlowe is an incredibly awesome lane pusher.....but with no escapes all that really does is set him up to get punished by a competent team in the form of constant lane harassment/ganks. He's also great at taking camps....but again, a competent team will always know where he's at and can still punish him. Aside from those two things he's really got nothing left to offer a team that other heroes can do better.

You might be thinking of his wombo combo but even that won't do much against a competent team since they won't bunch up vs that or fight in choke points.

He can be good in certain situations...no doubt about that...the only issue is that there's usually a "better" pick than gazlowe.

Speaking from idea/planning and not from experience
Of course plans don't always work perfect and we adjust accordingly
In theory, we could possibly take a couple seconds prefight to set up turrets to keep them in disarray and with the bombs having such a large aoe area we could use that to split the team in situations instead of actually trying to land it
Of course with what you said it seems gazlower would be optimized more in a team that is more organized and have a plan accommodating gaz
I really want to make him work but like you said it'll take some games to get a feel but I think I can find a proper style for him to work even against competent teams

There's better choices but I want to make him work so bad >.<

Haven't played Gazlow in a while did Blizz remove sprint from gaz?

Gaz had 1 use in TF. Sprint drop the bomb and sprint away.

Ok am I playing Abathur right? I usually go for Symbiote build with Monstrosity (Hero ult on 2 lane maps)

I try to focus on keeping my mines at 0 and spreading them around the map for awareness

When Symbioting I try to help others when they fight or by symbioting a minion in an empty lane to soak xp, depending on the situation

I'm usually too scared to body soak a lane as its very easy to figure out where..

gazlowe's turret are just too weak to be a threat
they literally do no dmg
its laughable that even squishes like nova can tank 2 or 3 of them like nothing

ugh
so lame

gg just lost to bots on "veteran"
this is how bad people can be at this game
fml

never lose to bots on elite
