Sylvanas is a super solid choice. On some maps she just dominates.

I think I've figured out my major issue of this game: the lower complexity makes more complex champions less satisfying to play.

There's really only two truly complicated champions.

Abathur. Both of them pretty much turn your game into 50% rts as you have to split your attention and have insane apm.

Hots is a pretty complex game, most mobas are but hots blends fast paced gameplay with a boatload of competing objectives. The only moba that I've played thats more complex in terms of gameplay mechanics is probably dota, but I don't know everything about it.

abathur doesn't require any microing, just map awareness. He's a different cup of tea than the vikings. He also probably requires significantly lower apm than most heroes since he doesn't have a real right click except for when ulting.

I find abathur easier than any other hero. I don't have to put myself in danger or worry about where I'm going, just wait for my augmented hero to go near enemies and then spam my abilities. I guess I don't play him optimally by trying to time when my non-augment abilities have cooled down.

Was also thinking of Kael'Thas. Even if you time and order your skills perfectly, you don't really feel like you're "doing a lot."

But yeah. Love the Vikings, hate playing them outside AI games because you get so easily punished.

Abathur is "easy" but it's hard to be useful with him.

I'm sure they'll add something else soon enough, but that 100 gold a day was pretty awesome.
