I imagine his low winrate among the bruisers is partially because he, like Xul, changes a fair bit based on what build you go for. A lot of people who don't main him gravitate toward the burst build with stuff like Crash Lightning and Sundering, and then fail to help their team when quickmatch doesn't provide another frontliner to make up for it. That, and I've found Thrall doesn't handle being focused by CC very well, a bit like Xul, so even with all that healing on his side it's really easy to shut him out in a QP environment where he's likely a lone frontliner with no healer. Like, he seems to have all the right tools to succeed in most games, it just feels like he doesn't get to use them because people don't want to tune their build to the match they're in, and not having an actual healer makes him super easy to blow up.
He's not any tankier than a healer and actually much less tanky than some..the closest he can really do to tanking is soaking a Ming orb or snipe after lvl 13. Sunder is used to delete someone out of the fight with ancestral at 7 and echo at 1. If you go rolling at 1 that's good against a tank bruiser combo but in no tank qm it is bad. If enemy team is very squishy I don't even go ancestral I go follow thru at 7. Earthquake is very good at level 20 its situational but don't underestimate Sunder you can pretty guarantee one enemy team member is dead if you are pretty even on levels. My winrate on Thrall is 57 or 58% and I've played him hundreds of times.
Hey Pally, I noticed from your videos that you have a lot of lozenges, and you mentioned your voice being rough. I just wanted to check and make sure you know that lozenges when taken consistently, will give you throat problems, along with a lot of other symptoms.. I strongly recommmend a nice hot Echinasea tea with some honey in it. Gotta take care of that voice man, that's the money maker!

Hi Pally! I don't watch Twitch streams but I found you on UA-cam doing HOTS videos and I just wanted to say that I love your commentary on this game all the games you do. I will listen to your videos while I do chores because your voice and commentary is just so comforting. Thank you for what you do.
THANK YOU for reminding me that his battle momentum was a thing when he came out! Thrall is one of my top 3 most-played heroes in my roster and I couldn't remember why. (I think he's fine now but I remembered being a monster with him bitd) Yup, it was those broken windfury procs and I could get away with so much on him once upon a time! lol. Great vid as always my dude!
Thrall is a mess of fun. As long as he can keep casting abilities he heals for a monster amount. Stuns and silences will ruin his day, but otherwise he can live through so much and surprise many players with his damage and poke. I caught your first few games on twitch when you were struggling a bit. I'm glad you found some traction.
I'm 61-11-1 now following your builds. The build was good but this was the most quick matchy quick match I've had in a long time. No tanks or healers with the front line being me and greymane. There was almost no sustain on either team and as a result the first objective wasn't captured on alterac valley until level 13 on each team. The match ended with both teams at level 26 with the kills being 38-41. Peak quick match if there is such a thing. This reminds me of an old video with you playing Ana and Mewn playing Zeratul and you started bragging about quick match being your domain
I recently went back and watched your first Thrall video, where you show off the Battle Momentum Windfury build. Man it was a good time. Heroes has changed a lot and mostly for the better (balance/design-wise), but I binge on those old videos sometimes.
You and your team played so well there. It might make you look even better if the opposite team were worse, which I think actually was, aside from Zeratul and Orphea.
i used to run earthquake for years... but after i tried sunder a few times, i found i regularly grantee kills that would otherwise escape me, but earthquake had only about a 10% confirm rate on heros that would otherwise survive. the oprotunities i have to disrupt team fights seem few and far inbetween as well with earthquake
Are you planning on creating a new playlist on your profile for the A-Z playthrough? I wanna catch up on the ones I haven't seen yet, but they're hard to spot among your other (excellent) content! Hoping for a playlist before you're finished with the whole playthrough ❤️
I like Thrall, but I find it hard to do what I want with him. If I try to go for damage, I don't survive. If I try to tank... I also don't survive. He's one of those characters I'm bad at that I still have to a pretty high level, because I always feel like I need more practice.
Nice! Somehow whenever I play Thrall, I just get chain CCd and can't really do anything and then die. I'm sure I'm doing it wrong but I just don't play him, ragnaros is better like you said. I might try ine more game after seeing this, but win rate being so low I'm hesitant haha
Enthralling video.

Congratulations to Holly's brother 👏,. I wonder if Holly will catch the bouquet, or is Pally going to try and defend.
LOL, now I am just imagining Walter tackling Holly to keep her from catching the bouquet. 😂
Pally activating spartan rage to punch it away
Pally is all about the macro, he's got it covered
@@aznjoker77 Right, something tells me Holly would be on the other side of the map at that moment ;)
imagine a scenario when Pally preventing Holly to get the bouquet. ended up cathing it by himself instead.. i believe the whole family will scream and rejoiced!!
I really really appreciate you going through the history of a character briefly at the start! It's really interesting to hear!
I imagine his low winrate among the bruisers is partially because he, like Xul, changes a fair bit based on what build you go for. A lot of people who don't main him gravitate toward the burst build with stuff like Crash Lightning and Sundering, and then fail to help their team when quickmatch doesn't provide another frontliner to make up for it. That, and I've found Thrall doesn't handle being focused by CC very well, a bit like Xul, so even with all that healing on his side it's really easy to shut him out in a QP environment where he's likely a lone frontliner with no healer.
Like, he seems to have all the right tools to succeed in most games, it just feels like he doesn't get to use them because people don't want to tune their build to the match they're in, and not having an actual healer makes him super easy to blow up.

Also to piggyback, avoid menthol lozenges, they can make your voice worse. I go for pectin lozenges.
But what about him trying to get that Fisherman's friend sponsorship ;)

I think I still have Thrall Battle Momentum PTSD. That was insane.
THANK YOU for reminding me that his battle momentum was a thing when he came out! Thrall is one of my top 3 most-played heroes in my roster and I couldn't remember why.

Every time I need to learn a new hero, I come and watch one of these videos. Cheers Pally
glad to be getting more regular uploads. love the content

been getting Thrall alot in ARAM. going for all the quests and hearing BIP BIP all game looong
Echo of the elements is what you take when you want waveclear. Once you learn how to do the quest you can usually have it done before level 7.
Makes me wanna play Thrall
Always a good thing, Farseer is my favorite Orc hero
What an enjoyable video, absolutely fantastic to learn something about Thrall.
Thank you Pally ☺️
12:47 "they can't shoot us all"
Love your vids, I found myself watching the whole series and coming back to get refresher courses...Nice!
I bet that Ana thought they were being reeeeeeeal clever picking that ult.
You and your team played so well there. It might make you look even better if the opposite team were worse, which I think actually was, aside from Zeratul and Orphea.
best hero in game.
versatile, iconic and just fun.
my main!
best regards from Germany
Really informative and entertaining as usual, pally! I really love these videos.

the oprotunities i have to disrupt team fights seem few and far inbetween as well with earthquake
was a lot better when it was a persistant slow, rather than brief two dot waves of slow
Love the Hots content! You should try Noita btw. Think that would be pretty amazing to watch

Congrats to holly's brother and their partner 'morro'
Blood and thunder!!!
Oooh, Congratulations to Holly's brother!
I like Thrall, but I find it hard to do what I want with him. If I try to go for damage, I don't survive. If I try to tank... I also don't survive. He's one of those characters I'm bad at that I still have to a pretty high level, because I always feel like I need more practice.
You're the best Pally.
Self healing god? No no no… that’s Dehaka. Thrall is good at it too, but Dehaka can outpace it easily with a full essence focus build.
4:46 pls explain to me how that root did not.... connect? like that was a direct hit and it still missed?
Full support man, always.
Are you planning to continue with the side quests in GoW?
I prefer the quest build
I'm sorry but what's the current state of HotS? I've always liked the game but stopped playing a few years ago and would like to try it again. Thanks!
you do realise that D does -0.5 s cd on abilities, you you want to pop it much as you can to reduce your abilitiy cd
Nice! Somehow whenever I play Thrall, I just get chain CCd and can't really do anything and then die. I'm sure I'm doing it wrong but I just don't play him, ragnaros is better like you said. I might try ine more game after seeing this, but win rate being so low I'm hesitant haha
where do you get that mount at?
Congrats on the wedding🎉🥳🤩
oh hollys brother get married.... and I thought this was because the realease of elden ring ^_^"
Love you Pally

Random comment for channel interaction.
Thrall has the same playstyle as always

Thumbs up because it isn’t ER.
