You can now buy and try the monk, can only buy him with real $ though
Lots of changes

Damn that Jaina Water Ele nerf

Looks like Leo took a hit in the revive department, too

I think that should help curb his win rate while still not really affecting the players who aren't feeders.

I like the changes.

Yeah, should stop ppl playing him like a Murky tank lol

is that saying players who play the PTR or just regular heros?
/ei;m an idiot nvr mind

So Diablo will be free... And I paid for him?? Thx blizzard...

And i just bought leoric and they nerf him hard? Thx blizzard...

They only nerf him when he's dead...so if you aren't a feeder...you'll be fine!

The only other nerf just makes him do the same structural damage that Johanna's W does. Nothing wrong with that.

Even if you didn't already own diablo and were just going to get him when he's free.. doesn't change the fact that he's shit now lol. Hopefully they buff him sometime.

But yeah the leoric buff is pretty bad, was playing him on PTR a lil and he barely gets any time off of his death now

He's meant to revive quickly even if you only intend to die 2-6 times in a game... Revive time matters strategically.

His structural damage nerf makes his pushing abilities pretty poor now too...

I don't know how you play Leoric but I am level 15 with him and have a 60% win rate with 100 Leoric Hero League games played at 3.1k MMR

I lane clear/bully early game, and depending on map I also roll with my team to secure objectives. Half the time on Blackwater Bay I also afk farm coins...just depends on if I can get away with it or not.

Something I never do is try split pushing/solo pushing down a fort. I also typically don't die more than 2-3 times...sometimes less.

There are probably other ways of playing him but I feel like this is the most effective way. I also noticed that when I lose to a leoric (fairly rare since I almost always get him) he plays this way as well.
