I love this type of coments, keep the good work!
I was watching a bunch of videos across a lot of stuff and I thought it was clear he's so much better at tank heroes over all. I am glad to see a statistic up to this point that reflects this.
What an absolutely crazy game! Nothing beats those incredibly tense moments, such a good episode, gg 👏 I literally screamed no when u died at the end lol
Ah Jaina... One of the first hero's I played. Seems almost nostalgic to see you still making these videos! Glad to know you're still having a good time with this game 👍
Never been a fan of the E root talent, it can be useful for staying alive but the E armour reduction talent is essentially a 25% burst damage boost for your whole team.
Yeah but it can also help A LOT as u saw. If u have a team that peel for u in the backline then sure go for it. Also kinda need an auto attacker for lower armour to be good
You faced an EXTREMELY oppressive QM-comp. Probably a 3 or 5 stack. Kudos to you and the team for staying in the fight. GG!
One tip, you don’t need to E the wave if you line up W even at level 1, jaina is mana hungry especially early on and that will save you
Man that was one helluva chonky enemy team comp. Well-supported with Rehgar heals and Zarya shields too...that was Deathball: The Comp...no wonder they just steamrolled until Pally's team finally caught their second wind and managed to win some lategame team fights.
I really feel like a more artillery-focused build would have been generally more useful here on Jaina...Ring of Frost with a pumped-up W build might have secured more AoE on the clumped up enemy team, but honestly I've not played HotS in so long and I was never all that amazing in the first place...I'm not really the one to give advice.
Pally played his heart out though lol. Props for sticking with it and giving it your all, man...that game looked exhausting lol.
I agree. Thinking that Ring of Frost would have been the better pick vs this team. With bloodlust a Reghar, and all their clumping, you lock them down, they lose value, and you give yourself another escape if you need it.
Love to see the E build. Never happens. Ever. However i feel like Ring of Frost would have been significantly better in this game since they were so close together all the time. Either way this was some really good gameplay. Hindsight is always a bitch...
Agreed, people love to call it "Ring of Loss" but as we just witnessed - Water Elemental just dies instantly anyway!
I was thinking the same thing tbh. Water elemental seems… weirdly bad LOL
The thing is... If you wanna go for elemental you should never place it inside a 5 man cluster. And I agree, ring would've been 100 % better in this game. Anyway, great game! Ty Pally
Insane match, I always love the 30 minute nail biter games you put out. I loved that no one got toxic and kept fighting even when things seemed hopeless. GG to you and your team.
Man, it sure seemed like your team was just way overmatched at the beginning, but you did make them sweat at the end. Wish you the best, Pally.
I remember Gamescom 2017 in Cologne (i am living 40 kilometers away from cologne, so hi). I was there with a friend and we followed your content for years then. Then we saw you playing and I wanted to say hi to you so bad and take a picture but ended up being too shy for it. I watched you play for like half an hour and it was a great time. You are a great guy and greetings from Germany :)
Feels like a regular QM game with randoms. Few people caring about lane soak, camps, or objective, and spending the majority of the game brawling over basically nothing. Kinda surprised you even lasted that long, they could've ended earlier. But Jaina is super fun to play, and a beast hypercarry if nanoed by Ana.
What a titanic effort. That was gonna be a tough match no matter what, but y'all made them work hard for it.
the core nuke kill with the roots was awesome
Dear Pally,
everything i've learned about this game comes from you, so thank you :-) Finally i can give something back (40 ranked matches 65% winrate with her):
You did good, but as i know you, you always want to improve your chars. so here are my thoughts to improve with Jaina:
1. The Ice elemental does AOE RANGE dmg! please: NEVER put it directly into the whole enemy team. First place it and then choose target from a save distance. The enemy killed yours on the spot, very often (19:38, 21:21) . :-) The best option i would guess is, you put it out to make a triangle (with you and your target). So the enemy has to choose between you and the elemental to make dmg to. Block exit-ways if possible.
2. In the earlygame focus on your quests. The lvl 1 talent needs to get done a lot faster. 10% more dmg -> 10% faster to your Iceblock quest:
- if you are lvl 3 (!) you just need ONE complete blizzard to clear one wave of minions. don't waste mana (try to stay above 75%).
- You can get camps (2-3 Mobs) really early on by yourself (at lvl 4 2x Blizzard, ~17sec).
3. At least in the lower ranked games (and qm) you can go with icy veins at lvl 13. with that talent you can do so much more burstdmg in teamfight and don't need to "hit and run".
maybe give it another try when it's not 3 am and 106k dmg is just the beginning ;-)
greetings from cologne
this is very helpful, thanks !
first video I've ever seen of yours and I think it's the best commentary I have ever heard. as someone brand new to this game, I was completely aware of everything going on in the game, and learned a lot as well. it was so clear.
Jaina is probably one of my favorite characters that I’m not grand at. I do love just chucking Qs at one character though
Blizzard build was always my favorite way to play Jaina. Felt like I was just destroying things from so far away
Best A-Z yet, love the commentary and how you give us insight as to what you're thinking as things unfold!
27-6 now following your builds...with a caveat on this one. I needed a couple practice matches where I played some of my worst games to get a feel for how this build works. I'm an old school Q Jaina player so this was a big adjustment for me. My conclusion on this is that it's good but situational. Do no play this vs dive heavy teams. A short range mage vs a diving team means dying a lot. Against most other comps it's pretty good though and will play it again against the right comps
That was a rough match to watch, ngl. You had a comp that was basically poking and sieging with no real front line while their comp was almost completely built for the hard engage and super tanky.
Also the ring of frost is REALLY good with the blizzard build. Frost elemental is good if you're split pushing or solo laning imo just to give extra chase to someone who is trying to push you back.
To add to the fun voice fact from the video both Laura Bailey and Travis Willingham are cast members of Critical Role, the big D&D show on twitch every Thursday night.
I've never watched it but I vaguely knew that and I love that Pally didn't acknowledge what probably 80% of the community knows they by! Just thought it was funny.
I was at the gamescon that time . You gave me a pretzel . Much Love from Germany ,pally 😅
So when taking on the minion waves you seem to like to W then E but the W alone is more than enough. Also when in a fight many times you do the same, which is what you want, but you spam it a little to fast so the your E ends up hitting before the first W wave lands, which is not ideal. Just little subtle efficiencies to help your Jaina play, love the content my dude. Proud of you.
What I usually do with jaina is I try to land my q on 1 guy, get my blizzard off into a group of minions and heroes and then after 1 tick of blizzard run in and yes the cone of cold, run off so if they chase you they rather run through your blizzard or around it in which if they run through it you can stutterstep auto attack them or completely run away and get them from a distance when your q is off CD again.
man, I was so engaged and rooting for you, pally, some good plays there
Great game! Effort from the whole team all the way to the end. Love to see it
I hope the external issues are getting more manageable. Thanks for continuing the series.
Incredible game!!! Best one in the series so far. And your root at the end let the core nuke and kill 2 of them, amazing
The fact that you can cast the game whist playing is simply amazing. Like + Sub, hell yeah
That was 100% perfect timing for your chill damage quest to finish
Man, that was a tough team to get close in on. Great video!
Against 4/5 melees, mby ring of frost would be better? I mean u said it ur self when u played the lazer dude
Jaina is my favorite hero, love her since the beginning of HotS and pretty sure she was my #1 on number of matches. That was an intense game, it probably wouldn't change the outcome but some talents would've been better for you and your team.
- Ring of Frost despite being harder to land it would help you lock down the enemy, up your damage and set up more combos, Elemental didn't get much value and was most likely destroyed in seconds.
- I understand the root at 16 but it really isn't worth it for just 1 second of root, the armor debuff talent however is SO GOOD, your team would do more damage (which they really needed) but most importantly your spells would burst them down so much more specially against the fortress that were Imperius and Garrosh supported by Zarya and Rehgar
I swear, Pally's commentary sounded like he completely lost his mind haha, never heard him talk so unhinged, kind of felt like a horror movie.
That was a hoorid team you were with. Very amusing listening to you voice over.
Another fun fact: Not only are Laura Bailey and Travis Willingham married, but they play D&D on Critical Role with Illidan's VA; Liam O'Brien.
And probably more but those are the only 3 I know off-hand.
Wow the music kicking in when we realize that Doggo is going home. :,)
Fun tidbit. Meme joke in wow was that Jaina was a dreadlord because her personality seemed to go completely 360. So they made the hots skin as a joke for that(assuming anyway)
Hope you get feeling better soon!
Watching Jaina waiting for her cooldowns is so frustrating lol
Loved the episode, such a tough and intense game. However, I'd pick icy veins and wintermute with the build you were going since a lot of the times you lacked burst damage or were standing still auto attacking with no CDs, the shield got almost no value in the match.
Wow, gg! Really well played with a new build Pally :)
Fantastic level 20 hold by the core. Against such a daunting team of brutes, that play was beautiful.
Did not know Trav voiced Gazlowe. Shows what I know, I guess...
EDIT: Yeah, that enemy team was CHUNKY AF.
I have exactly the same sentiment as you with Jaina 😭
that was a real nice real long game struggling most of it but nobody was toxic and tried their best, feels good. one of those rare losses you can feel somewhat good about
Ooh, I am super early today. Love what you do, Pally!
Just taking a moment to compliment the multitasking of casting and playing
aaaaannnnd this is why i like the basic attack dmg at lv7 on jaina. it gives you something to do. in QM ofc. in a coordinated environment, a single combo of all her abilities will result in a kill, then you just slow the fleeing enemies wih frostbolt.
That was a beautiful game. Really on the edge of my seat all the way till the end.
I'm getting flashbacks to that old morales video where this Jaina wouldn't back for mana and that just triggered everyone
Jaina remains my favorite hero in the game because she truely shows talent diversity. You can actually pick any talent at any tier in any order and still get some kind of benefit. Yeah the overall synergy will be lacking but its really ok to just try new builds with Jaina.
I played a lot of Jaina, since close to melee range if very bad is Garrosh pulls you, going Blizzard & Frost Bolt build is the way to go for this game, poke poke.
I would put zero talents into Cone of Cold and only use it as a punish.
Nice effort team. Tough match. Personally not sold on water elemental but it is quite commonly used
Really liked this one.
Just started playing HotS 2 days ago and thinking about one-tricking Jaina till 20. Wish me luck!
Pally what do you think they ultimately going to do with HOTS.
Just a bit of feedback on the intros, I definitely get how recording them afterwards works well for you. That being said, maybe refrain from saying goodbye to us, it gives everything a vibe like you missed the Superbowl and are going to catch a replay. I understand that's what all UA-cam videos are, but it's more fun not to think about it, ya know?
"Valant effort after valant effort" made my eye twitch . Love you, but man sometimes you grind my gears :)
Deathball versus deathball can go south so, so quickly...
Was nice to actually see you loose a game. :D I liked your comments! :D
Why no ring of frost? Elemental was useless against this team
I think you did a good job. I think you did the best you could with what you had going on. I think it's only fair that to point out tho that the other guys where like tailored build to be a nightmare... and they were just simply better at getting their shit done than your team. Garrosh was nearly always landing his toss and the second he did his hivemind teammates where on that person because they all had movement abilities that let them swarm you super-fast. That was a good game to watch though. Good Job playing Jaina.
Me, the whole game: "USE YOUR MOVES BILLY!"
Awesome game! It seems like you get sick so often! Got to take care of yourself brother! We need ya haha
A - Z part 34 crazy that i dont even remember builds for her i saw just Q
Your team put out ~80k more damage than theirs and still couldn't get around the Speed Barrier/Throw combo.
Missed enough safe/easy globes that you could have finished L1 at least five minutes earlier, but that's normal for you.
But.
"I HAVE A BLIZZARD!
I FUCKING MISSED IT!
OH MY GOD!
AAAAAAAAGH!"
Solid gold. Well fought.
Very intense match. Good job even though it didn't go in your favor this time
I am amazed they never put a Pit Lord in the game, imagine being bodyblock by Amazing Daniel and Mannoroth...
Pit Lord is in both Diablo II and Warcraft? How original of Blizzard...
@@CaptainFalcon333 I mean, there's also a lot of similarities between Draeneis and Protos
Gotta say pally, you baited your team by continuing to fight boss after a team fight when you were 3v4 at 19:53. Some bad judgment there not backing off saving mana and cooldowns
Did the enemy team Zarya use her ult at all or am i just blind?
Man this was so fun to watch
Not going to lie, it's kindof crazy to hear the times in which you play your games.. 2 in the morning??
this why i got for ring of frost, or what ever the second ult is called. when i build for blizzard jana, it dominates
Awesome game, I think the only problem was not taking the armor reduction against that frontline.
Nevertheless you have my Frost like
I love this skin too. I suck a Jaina but man, ... Their skins are awesome.
I find that its pretty good to Q then Blizzard if it's one dude, cone then blizzard if it's a group, while keeping the other ability for utility (like to escape or secure a kill).
I only ever really throw blizzard 1st if I'm trying to poke from afar or if it's all I have left.
To me, Jaina is kinda funny because while most of your team is in hard engage mode, you still kinda have to be in poke mode until much later
To be fair, there was almost no hope of winning this game for your team. They had: Garrosh, Zarya, Imperius, Rhegar, and Greymane. Three very tanky heroes that can also do some good damage, a healer who is only good on an all melee team ACTUALLY BEING on an all melee team, and a solid all-purpose assassin. What did your team have in terms of frontline? A Varian. That's it. He's great but he cannot truly tank. So while they had basically two tanks and a shielding support, you had one decently-tanky bruiser. And to make things worse, typically Alexstrasza requires a good front line to keep her health high so her healing is improved, and so her healing circle does higher numbers. Your teammates were not bad players, but there really was little hope of winning this game with those team comps in an even match up.
Why no ring against that team!? so much clumpage
this was one of my fav chars.
Epic match Pally
15:00 If you waited in your ice block, you could've killed Reghar with your E when it came off cooldown :(
Thank you for another fun video. I'm sorry you feel bad my man.
For the Algorithm!
Great stuff!
The calm before the storm
The Laura Bailey callout
If the voice of Jaina is married to the voice of Gazlowe, than that means that Jaina is married to Gazlowe :O
What a nail biter. That was nuts.
Having ring of frost wouldve been better since they always clumped up with that team comp
comment for the algorithm gods! Hope you feel better soon
I feel like a blizzard build would have really shined this game lol. All melee
Awesome game Pally! GG.
Some things I've found help while running E build:
The Level 4 Physical armor is a really nice option, especially vs teams like this one with 5 physical attackers. Its basically like block.
For 13, Icy Viens feels really huge for the E build, I love the shields but for E being all about CDR your burst gets much scarier and youre able to usually use Icy Viens every team fight. It helps with that feeling of having no cooldowns available too. The root spam with it at 16 is nuts.
Water elemental can be sent out far in front, even if its just to get a chill on an important target that you want to be able to root.
20 Blink is fine especially in this game, personally I like the double slow stacking up to 40%, its just so much control. The level 20 Water Elemental upgrade is also nuts!
against that team comp going E centric build wasn't the best idea, but still, wp Pally!
Spoilers below:
Win/Loss: 25-9; 73.5%
Wins: Abathur; Alarak; Alexstrasza; Anduin; Anubarak; Arthas; Azmodan; Blaze; Cassia; Cho; Deathwing; Deckard; Dehaka;
Diablo; D.Va; ETC; Fenix; Garrosh; Gazlowe; Genji; Greymane; Gul'Dan; Hogger; Illidan; Imperius
Loses: Ana; Artanis; Auriel; Brightwing; Chen; Chromie; Falstad; Hanzo; Jaina
The hardest part about this game was the CONSTANT level disadvantage. People just don't seem to understand soak.
I know you felt like you really needed Ice Barrier at 13, but not having Icy Veins is rough! Jaina's cooldowns in team fights are sooo slow.
What a wild ride
Eh i honestly think a traditional q/ring/veins build could've team wiped any of those late game fights. E build couldn't keep up with that many bruisers and elemental to me is more for a single diver, they were stacked very nice for a ring + icy veins team wipe.
Jainas talents seem more utility and defensce. Don't seem to have many that increase damage
