i absolutely love TLV. I had to force myself to play them every game for a few weeks a couple times. after that its great. at my rank its like a free win
So why take the two Erik talents in the early game? It seems like it sacrifices the vikings' 3 man power in the late game. From what I can tell you really like using Erik so I guess that's why? I take increased toughness Olaf and lifesteal Belog, but other than that, same talents. It's a slow start but they do really well mid game in ambushing teams as a 3 man. Haven't played them too often yet though. I'm trying to switch from Abathur to Vikings so I don't get banned as much in ranked. So any help is appreciated. :)
those talents turn eric into a proper auto attack damage dealer although he of course still is very squishy. you could see his power when grubby 1v1 twin blade varian and killed him. granted varian having 0 respect had a lot to do with the outcome
There isn't a lot in particular you can learn for TLV, it's basically just "be good at micro'ing them", in other words just play them a lot, or play rts games lol. The only real "trick" you have to know is pressing 1, 2 or 3 twice will select the respective viking and center the camera on them, everything else is just generic hots macro, and viking micro.
Experimentation goes a long way too, and playing them with a team that's not going to throw when you pick them. I'm a TLV main but I rarely play them because without a full premade, the randoms tend to tilt in the loading screen and generally randoms don't like to be "given orders" such as "group up as 4". As for experimentation, learn that different combinations can go a long way. Eric solo and Olaf/Baelog together works well and lets O+B roam together and take camps while E harasses. Starting off the match with O+E in duo and B in a solo lane gives you the optimal pushing power, but sacrifices all the power that O+B bring together. Practice, practice, practice. Bot games are great for trying different combinations and practicing your micro, but always look at your minimap and remember that bots don't tilt and solo focus you the entire game like a real Illidan or Nova will.
As someone who has never played Vikings, I have so many questions.

Playing The Lost Vikings is like playing an RTS in a MOBA =)
Discovering a new build and doesn't show the build O_O
most of these "super awesome build for x character." guy drooling in bottom left corner
Thanks for the upload, this video is my first HOTS exposure. Very interesting gameplay.
5:09 the bsteps on vikings lmao
xD
triple sprays and taunts are funny too
Its really intersting see you playing vikings, they need a lot of micro and you came from one of the most complex rts arround there.
LOL, a 3 man commitment to kill Eric at the 14:40 mark
Best thing I've learned this game: I must have Illidan as my announcer. :)
This Varian is having a suuuuuuper shitty day............ Imagine being outplayed by A Viking..... erik... the tiny one too...............
Grubby you are a fucking monster, my god that micro is amazing, It's always nice to see your games.

what do you think about Trundle,the king of trolls?
Always good to see the good ol' Grubby playing Warcraft 3 micro with TLV.
Great game man! That was pro! Inspires me to want to play TLVs but I’ll never be that good. xD
just play TLV only. sink or swim. you'll learn how to play them well before long
Cielos deseara tener el mismo nivel de concentración y paciencia que tiene al jugar con los vikingos . Nice gameplay
my brain hurts
Grubby... you should post the build here :)
Super......👍😎
I felt bad for Varian...
Until the mercs rolled in and took the top gate. XD
any videos to improve micro?
Here ua-cam.com/video/uiMCHx8Wdk0/v-deo.html :)
Just play Starcraft 2 for a solid year and you're good
Great TLV gameplay!Keep up the good work!
Nice! Thank you! Can you also make "Learn Vikings' pls? they seem sooo difficult

I've found that for learning them you can use the lock cam. helped me a bunch when playing them
