@@ChristopherLMunoz Why tho? It takes one reading to understand how it works. "Activate to gain 40% Basic Attack damage for 5 seconds. Basic Attacking a Hero refreshes this duration. Once Divert Power: Weapons ends, drain all of Shield Capacitor's Shields."
@@hisokamorow6709 because the short tooltip just says "gain attack damage, lose shields", and it gives you an active. so if you're skimming it, which pally did here, it's easy to assume burn your shield on pressing the active button for +40% damage for 5 seconds
I think his MVP came from 3 deaths vs the rest of the team having so many more deaths (even Murky had 5, or 20 individual deaths). Die less and get MVP!
28:16 Pallytime: "We are seeing Leoric is trying to get away. But it looks like Leoric is going to die again. His tenths death of this match." Me: "Those are rookie numbers! Most Leorics I play QM with have deaths equal to the number of minutes that have passed in the match."
Hey Pally, slight correction: You mentioned you were going to fire Planet Cracker at the Keep to finish it if it didn't die, but PC does not do damage to structures. It's a non-structure ult like Hammer's BFG.
Back when I played I played Fenix relatively often and a tip to make Plasma Cutter more effective is when you're using it in melee range walk around your target in the opposite direction it spins so you can actually hit the target more times than if you just stand in place. I want to say you can hit up to 6+ times rather than the 3 or 4 it normally does. But I haven't played in probably over a year so idk if that still works.
Hey buddy, I just wanted to tell you that you're doing a great job. You shouldn't second guess yourself and lament on things you could have done "better." You're job is being likable and entertaining and you're killin it in those areas my dude.
There is one very important trick with fenix, and that is how to get an extra laser hit on enemies. The laser starts at a point and does 2(3 with quest) clockwise rotations. But if you start the laser just where it hits the enemy hero at the beginning of the rotation and move a bit, the laser also hits them at the end of the rotation as well. So you can get 3 hits in 2 rotations or 4 hits in 3 rotations. But this is hard to adaptively plan for so here is how you memorize it: If you begin the game at left, try to engage your enemies from the top, start the laser just above them and then move downwards. If you begin at the right base, try to engage your enemies from the bottom, start the laser just below them and move upwards. Just these rules of thumb can make a massive difference. These are not applicable everywhere, like when you are chasing them down or up, but they are pretty common. If you want a all applicable rule, always move counterclockwise and always place the laser to the opposite side of your enemy to your movement direction. The reason you want to engage from the top when starting left for example is, if you instead engaged from the bottom, you would need to move towards the enemy team to get an extra damage tick, which is very dangerous.
19-4 now following your builds. Fenix is my most played hero and my third highest winrate hero at ~62% so I had no doubt about being able to win this one. This character has been my go to character since he entered the nexus, my go to hero when I need to snap a losing streak. Other than the level 1 talent this was an entirely new build for me. I don't typically play any of the builds listed in this video and instead play more of a plasma cutter build with the less health more shields talent at 13, the increased speed when you lose your shields at 4, and the other ult. I still played him basically the same but some talents were weird not to have. Of all the new talents divert power was the most interesting as it gave me some burst damage I haven't had in the past so I might keep taking that one. The numbers you gave in the intro are really surprising to me. He's a damn good hero and easy to play so I'd think that'd make him more popular
UA-cam is so saturated with generic gaming videos these days (I'm guilty too) and HotS is almost a dead game, but when Pally puts out a new A-Z video I'm always like "HELL YEAH! FENIX! LET'S GO!" and I don't even play Fenix. Pally seems like such a genuine guy and that's what keeps me coming back. Keep it up man.
Hey Pally, congrats on that victory, it was a pretty fun match! However I have two tips I can give you for Fenix: 1) advanced targetting goes really well with CDR at 16 and the plasma cutter fires purification salvo at 20 (you can pick planet quacker and still pick that talent in 20) 2) When in team fights pew pew, no pow pow. Have a nice one!
Fenix is tricky, all about utilising your bonus move speed at 4 to position where you can auto attack without being focused and using your shields to sustain in the solo lane. It is also worth mentioning that there are some hard counters to fenix to consider in ranked like Varian and Morales who can take talents to remove shields and delete him.
Planet Cracker becomes wider if you pick its upgrade at 20. I really like Fenix, even tho i don't play it much because it can be VERY squishy and that frustrates me 😆
5:14 if I'm correct this exploit (which consists in quickly swapping between firing modes to reset the aoe attack timer and attack with it at a faster fire rate) was fixed a long time ago, and now swapping quickly actually makes you lose single target damage because of the small internal cooldown.
7:46 this also changed forever ago, now the shield doesn't drain immediately, instead the attack damage bonus lasts for 5 sec that get refreshed at every autoattack, and when this timer runs out the shields get drained.
you are far more entertaining than i thought! so i am going to queue up several more vids. thanks for great content with one of my favorite characters!
Pally bro, you are one of the best on UA-cam and Hots is really amazing game I think you should continue playing. And about those tilted games for me personally it is some of the best entertainment possible so dont feel about it. I personally would even enjoy those if you uploaded them. Always support you and Hots
I’m same way with op or new heroes. I usually like underdog heroes. I do like turret fenix build where u get 50 armor and just sit still and auto till death. Take all auto speed talents
Hey aplly, this might sound a bit rude but I dont want it to sound that way but; can you read the talents before going in to a match? there seems to be a bit of confusion and misinformation and since the series is about the history of the characters development throught the years I think it would greatly increase the video's longetivity anyways, love your videos and I wont miss a single A-Z keep at it!
Probius would be more popular I think if he could target his turret manually.. I love probot and I'm so looking forward to you playing him, because i love the rage
As someone who doesn't play HotS, I still rather enjoy this series. But, on another note, for my LoL players, Hello Blue Buff? Like, this skin looks just like the Blue Golem.
The reward of Advanced Targeting is not worth the time it usually takes to finish it. Plus, the bonus dmg from Mobile Offense really shines with all the other AA talents. I suggest Q talents for people who aren't familiar with his playstyle or AA Heroes in general. Fenix is so strong if you can micro him with stutter stepping and swapping between weapon modes. Outside of that, he is average at best.
Release Fenix was so stupid. I stopped playing him when he was nerfed, he's sitting at an insane winrate on my profile, but can't quite remember what it was. Think it was like 80ish%
I also tend to stay away from OP heroes, I think it's because you know they'll eventually get nerfed and then playing them afterward just feels so bad.
The level 1 you picked is more than camps it slows them allowing you to move faster or even your ult does more to slowed . Level 7 use attack speed bonus from warp imagine using your lvl 1 slow your lvl 7 attack speed lvl 13 armor level 16% dps and level 20 attack speed use my build one day!!!! And level 10 is the other ult use that with your q other you tubers say I’m too ambitious because of that build
We basically have the same build just change 7 and 10 then time your other ult with your q or maybe you can get a mei on your team and time your ult and her stun slows
You haven't played Fenix a lot, you wanna know his greatest weakness? He's so fat. Fatter than he has any right to be. There are many skillshots in the game that any other assassin can dodge by sidestepping a certain small distance, but not Fenix. Fenix needs to walk a greater distance to get out of the way. I love him though, despite his thiccness.
You can use Divert Power when you have shields, it doesn't kill your shields when you activate it, only when it runs out of time.
This, i was the whole match screaem internally, while pally was avoiding using it when fighting for fear of losing the shied T.T
Think many people thinks it works like pally said, me included.
@@ChristopherLMunoz Why tho?
It takes one reading to understand how it works.
"Activate to gain 40% Basic Attack damage for 5 seconds. Basic Attacking a Hero refreshes this duration. Once Divert Power: Weapons ends, drain all of Shield Capacitor's Shields."

I love how Pally was so happy about the victory and then angry, because he got, in his opinion, undeserved mvp
Aàwh... Spoilers :(

I think his MVP came from 3 deaths vs the rest of the team having so many more deaths (even Murky had 5, or 20 individual deaths). Die less and get MVP!
mvp is accurate only half the time should not watch too much at it
28:16 Pallytime: "We are seeing Leoric is trying to get away. But it looks like Leoric is going to die again. His tenths death of this match."
Me: "Those are rookie numbers! Most Leorics I play QM with have deaths equal to the number of minutes that have passed in the match."
HAH!~ guess i'm playing with smurfs in QM then.mostly under lv100 accounts and players dont exceed 10 deaths each even in 25minutes deathballs..
Don't know what it is leorics in QM all die like flys
Hooked on Fenix worked for me!

That's not how Divert works, you lsoe the shield after the buff expires but you can keep the buff going like Valla's Hatred.
lol, when pally said "I just said I wasnt gonna criticize, im like youtube comments over here", I immediately scrolled down, they did not dissappoint
love the content pally, looking forward to more pathfinder
Can't imagine he is going to stop after this series
After this A-Z I wouldn't blame Pally for never touching HoTS ever again.
Truth be told the failure of the game is on Activision/Blizzard.
One thing I will say, watching Pally play makes me want to play this game again

I love that Pally eschews op heroes.
For a long time there, every new hero release broke the game.
Pally popping off at the last moments! Cheers, Fenix is hard af to use.
That Hanzo was a devil of player, personally I prefer auto attack build seems to be better to take down quickly enemy players
Hey Pally, congrats on that victory, it was a pretty fun match! However I have two tips I can give you for Fenix:

Love A-Z man, I get so excited when I see recent uploads. Keep up the great work!!

It is also worth mentioning that there are some hard counters to fenix to consider in ranked like Varian and Morales who can take talents to remove shields and delete him.
KTZ also with strip shields
Perfect fucking timing. lol Just sat down on my lunch break and was hoping for something great to watch. Was not disappointed.
Great vid! Fenix is such a unique and fun hero to play once you get used to him. Definitely has the potential to carry a game.
Nicely done. Never played hooked on Phoenix myself much.
Planet Cracker becomes wider if you pick its upgrade at 20.
I really like Fenix, even tho i don't play it much because it can be VERY squishy and that frustrates me 😆

you are far more entertaining than i thought! so i am going to queue up several more vids. thanks for great content with one of my favorite characters!
Loved going against Fenix as varian because you could one shot him with the shield breaker and smash ultimate. Always hilarious to watch.
MVP of the game -> Surprised Pikachu face. Love it :D
So close to actually reading what divert power does now. So close.
Nice win pally. The excitment of this game was great!
Pally bro, you are one of the best on UA-cam and Hots is really amazing game I think you should continue playing. And about those tilted games for me personally it is some of the best entertainment possible so dont feel about it. I personally would even enjoy those if you uploaded them.

I think it took almost 22 minutes for Pally to mount outside of hearthing or dying 🤣. I liked the video though, I also didn't really get into Fenix.
Will it be a disaster? Yeah, it might be! That's content bay-bee!
This game made me smile. Good show my lad!

That looked like a super fun match.
Love your videos, buddy, but I have a question: Why haven't you mounted on fenix during the game?
Fenix! He is pretty fun in his AA build. I hope you can get into him more cause he’s pretty enjoyable.
Probius would be more popular I think if he could target his turret manually.. I love probot and I'm so looking forward to you playing him, because i love the rage
Tense match. But Pally kept his cool - not even bothering to mount up. :P
Probius and Fenix are probably my two favorite heroes haha.
Pally, you get the like because Fenix is my favorite hero.
Fun fact: they had to rework a skill for variain for fenix cause it used to chunk or delete shields on fenix
This was a happy match to watch
Pally
Game well played
You guys brought back a really hard match
Kind of weird how Fenix was this full character before he became super damaged and needed to be in his crab suit
fenix's E talents are actually insanely overpowered tho holy damn
Also after watching this.....you can see why I like the other ult. It may not have the kill power, but it is almost guaranteed to get damage in
I don't touch the op heros either.
A great reason to follow and learn from you
Something is really wrong with Pally and Protoss in this game: He only does long games!
Love this character so much.
Love some Fenix action! Awesome game!
Nice video!please continiue the heroes of the storm,i love it!
Very fond of Fenix.
As someone who doesn't play HotS, I still rather enjoy this series.
But, on another note, for my LoL players, Hello Blue Buff? Like, this skin looks just like the Blue Golem.
Made me smile the whole game!
My favorite upload of the day and I watched Orcs must die!
You'd need a Stitches on your team before you had a Hooked on Phonics wouldn't you?
I don't even think that last arrow from Hanzo was his ult, i think it was his E that stunned him
What a god gamer pally is
PC is a bit wider with the 20 upgrade... that's why it felt a bit slim when you first used it.
GG Pally. Great job.
I dont have the heart to tell him about divert power after the Falstaff disclaimer :(

I'm happy for you, you played amazingly well for being so rusty.
These matches are such shitshows, but always fun to watch.
Why does everyone hate Probius?!?!?! I love that little bugger!
Man I wish Dehaka was this squishy in Direct Strike 😂
Hell yeah go you! Sick game 😁✌🏻
Build seems a little confused, Q at 1 instead of Mobile and Divert Power instead of Warp Warfare.

It's so funny because I love Fenix and Probius.....but I recognize Probe is not good lol
He IS amazing at lane clear though.....
the E talent at 7 is way better imo
Fenix just isn't a hero without mobile offense.
fun game
I always thought fenix was spelt like Phoenix.
I also tend to stay away from OP heroes, I think it's because you know they'll eventually get nerfed and then playing them afterward just feels so bad.
I’ll say it. It’s the ethical choice.
absolutely hot

We basically have the same build just change 7 and 10 then time your other ult with your q or maybe you can get a mei on your team and time your ult and her stun slows
Mvp? Lvl 6 felix and getting Mvp. Pretty good game
also the shield meta happend, and I hated the shield meta >:|
