- If you thought Cho'Gall was a creative hero concept, let me introduce you to The Lost Viking! From an old, 1993 Blizzard platform game, these guys found their way into Heroes of the Storm, with a super high micro RTS playstyle!
RTS inside a MOBA! The Lost Vikings in all their GLORY! (Game played on 4-February-2024)
Catch me live all days of the week at: / grubby
hots has such unique hero designs
and it is all thanks to the xp sistem
@@norkester444its all thanks to designing heroes based on existing characters.
@@Ov3rshot i mean that we can have a 2 player 1 hero and a 1player 3 heros bc we have the experience sistem
HOTS best MOBA
@@norkester444 Ahh, I see. True also!
There he is, one of my favorite MoBA characters of all time, and probably the most stressful one to play. When people talk about skill expression in a moba chracter it's always about having crazy mobility and complex combos, but sometimes you just need to take the barest basics of moba movement and put it on 3 super squishy bodies you have to control all at the same time.
He tried to emulate meepo in a game that doesn't inherently support rts controls and turned out to be close enough. Samuro as well, with the illusion hero mechanics. Hots devs definitely were big chads
Ah, man. I remember back in 2014(-15) when I was consumed by League and closed beta of HotS just came out, I shat on it so hard. "A MOBA with team EXP, no farm, no creep last hit, no items?" I said, I'd fight anyone and everyone on why the game was bad. The pure ignorance.... It took about 7 more years in order to revisit HotS, give it a proper chance and man oh man how have the turned tables. It's one of the best and creative games out there, the hero and map design, the talents, all these different objectives, you are not stuck for the next 20 minutes to your lane competing in last hitting the shit out of AI mobs while trying to not get ganked and feed. Trying to stomach the amount of stress that comes with 30-45 minute games in LoL. While HotS is a god sent for us damaged League players, honestly, it's a retirement game for League vets who are done with it. I hope I can play with you Grubby, some day, HotS is da best.
Love Lost Vikings; was always one of my favorites to play. People underestimated them so much; not just for their macro control but for their team fight potential. They're a late game hero for it but at level 16 once you have Spin to Win and Large and In Charge the Vikings together can annihilate any Damage character one on one. It's remarkably easy to run in the back, stun a backliner, spin to win them down then leap to safety.
It also helps that people really disrespect the vikings. Most of the time in a teamfight people see the vikings and go "Oh, they're *helping*", before getting stunned by olaf and one-shotted.
One of my top three most played heros in hots I love these little guys
too hard for me
@@TheSting772 just always be cycling between Vikings and keep an eye on the minimap
Yes, stare at mini map 95% of time
Looks like vikings is good to improve your map awareness
Never seen Grubby playing Vikings before. Awesome.
Grubby playing lost vikings is a work of art, i could watch this all day lol
The flanking revive is the real deal!!!!
Grubby hots video make me happy, thank you!
Love HotS for being mini-RTS. Vikings, Zagara, Probius.

Vikings: Mostly Danish
Meatballs: Swedish stereotype
Grubby: These guys must be Norwegians :D
God I LOVE GrubbyHotS content
The crazy thing about HOTS's weird ass heroes, is that they're actually pretty well balanced. League had to rework ryze like 5 times and he's still either too OP or worthless -- no inbetween. Meanwhile not sharing items and having talents makes it so heroes are much easier to balance, regardless of how weird they are
yeah playing HOTS again!!!
TLV are one of the weirdos that make HotS great.
"this nerd!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Zeratul may be a bit like Faceless Void, but he's more like Wc3 Warden aoe, blink, single target damage, cloaking
yay HotS; yay The Lost Vikings!!!! I've been Aba maining for a while, but this vid has me turning toward TLV again.... it's like having 3 hatted things to control!
Love it
I was just playing TLV last night!!!
I have them at lvl 167!!
Miss the Old Vikings 😢😢😢😢
I don't know if this is safe
Defo MVP here
I laugh a little watching your videos. I came to HOTS from DOTA2. I had been playing DOTA since WC3:RoC so I'm familiar with the heroes. Listening to you draw the lines to HOTS from DOTA is exactly what I did going the other way from DOTA to HOTS. Since alpha, I have ALWAYS called Stitches by Pudge.
Who else Hada booden hadé hade ho'ed right after Grubby? :L
Heroes of the storm deserved better
Anyone miss the old Terror?
and destroying healing fountains....
Is it actually recommended to have them split up? I feel like unless you want to hardforce mid you'd still rather have them together.
The main advantage, sometimes the only advantage, that Vikings have, is that they're 3 bodies.
If you move them as one, they're one bad hero who takes triple AoE damage. Might as well play an actual hero.
They can do what no other hero can do: Be in three places at once.
@@onkelpappkov2666 i get that but those three places need not necessarily be many screens apart. If you're not soaking xp because someone else is already there you could have two more bodies to flank and scout your lane and you get to concentrate on one thing...
Is my line of thinking. Never played them so no idea.
@@onkelpappkov2666 vikings are way stronger than any other hero when they're grouped, just takes a lot of micro
Azmo vs Cassmo
Oof, playing TLV versus Azmo, Naz, and Hanzo. Tough.
0:27 your talking like I've never played him before. I love this guy, but I can understand why people wouldnt play him
Foods for other in early game while so strong in late game.
why leave "Seed spawning in 16" in the thumbnail 😭
although thats totally me seeing a new grubby video, idk how you do it so i watch all fr fr love you grubby
6.7/10 no comeback mechanics
