wanted to share a few fun builds from competitive games
if you don't know what to play, give them a shot
duelist Falstad
1 - updraft, 4 - charged up, 7 - first aid, 13 - static shield, 16 - aerie gusts, afterburner
quite an old build, but can still be useful when you have 3 ranged damage dealers on team and facing a dive comp; with this build you can help out your tank and peel a bit for your fellow damage dealers, pretty strong build in 1v1 duels (hence the name)
worgen Greymane
1 - wolfheart, viciousness, 4 - thick skin, eyes in the dark, 7 - quicksilver bullets, 13 - on the prowl, 16 - anything but concrated blast
this is the way GM is being played since cocktail nerf, on 13 you can take pretty much anything but OTP syncs very well with quicksilver bullets
mage Illidan
1 - immolation, 7 - hunter's onslaught, 16 - marked for death
in situations when you don't think you need reflexive block and think you won't get much value out of your auto-attacks, you can use this build (I like it a lot)
great for single-target burst damage and heals you a lot after 16
I've mostly based this on some hybrid Illidan builds I've seen Chinese teams use
bruiser Johanna
1 - KTP, 4 - eternal retaliation , 7 - battle mommentum , 10 - falling sword, 13 - burning rage, 16 - blessed hammer, 20 - heaven's fury, indestructible
when you want to use Jojo as a bruiser, you can get a lot of damage with this build...hammer is kinda weak, but it syncs well with the rest of the build so it would be a shame not to pick it up
wolf Rehgar
1 - wolf run, 4 - feral heart, 13 - earth shield, 16 - hunger of the wolf
a build which offers you most survavibility and aggressiveness, good on-point damage, lacks utility
for situation when you want to burst someone down and play a bit as a melee assassin (Chinese style)
combat Uther
1 - block, 4 - amplified healing, hammer of the lightbringer, 7 - holy fire, cleanse, 13 - spell shield, 16 - imposing presence, benediction
great build when your team is squishy and you have only one tank, you can really stand side by his side and stand your ground, protecting your team
very aggressive style of play, another one of Chinese builds
hybrid Valla
1 - composite arrows, 4 - manticore, 7 - searing attacks, 13 - frost shot, 16 - executioner, 20 - nexus frenzy
probably the most popular Valla build atm, this combines utility of multishot build and damage of AA Valla
absolutely fantastic build (both ults work, but I prefer ROV because of executioner)
if you don't know what to play, give them a shot
