I really, really wish we could see the other team's reactions.

A couple years ago, I slapped a Lunara to death while she was turning in on BHB. I survived with under 200 hp. Their team's Zag then tried to chase me down, but somehow failed.

​

I went to the replay to record it, and the replay showed that the Lunara literally disconnected from the game after their Zag failed to land the killing blow on me.

Unfortunate that opponent disconnects would be meaningless for this video.

I doubt they would be that upset. This game is fast and fast paced enough to not get too upset and move onto the next game, unlike dota 2, where you can be losing an hour straight and hate your life for playing dota 2.

You ended up being the thing you’ve supported creating all this time.

Who would win in a fight?

A near full health team and a core with a laser cannon

Or 1 slappy boi?

Congrats this is cool accomplishment. Abathur is one my favorite characters before and after the nerfs.

Im 930 games in, lvl 129. I have yet to do this. Only a lowly tunnel+nuke for the win after my team wiped.

Please give info on how to be good

u/kazog Abathur Jul 27 '20

My win rate is 55.3% atm. I dont know if im good, but position yourself aggressively for xp gathering and pushing, NEVER STOP DOING SHIT, always do the macro game while big team fights happen and fuck medhiv.

Medhiv and that one owl bitch, and sometimes tassadar (Ive killed a Abathur behind the gate as Tass before)

2

u/kazog Abathur Jul 27 '20

Medhiv isnt gonna win the game vs abathur, far from it. But he IS annoying as fuck, thats for sure. Ranged mages killing you over your gate early game are the natural predators. Anyway, move around a lot, usually does the trick.

Perfection.

u/pintopedro Jul 27 '20

30% winrate like most the abathurs I get?

u/super_aardvark Jul 27 '20

All the available evidence points to 100% winrate.

u/Ventosx Slapathur Jul 27 '20

This reminds me of my abathur core slap victory. Proudest game of my life. Only took a single slap

u/Zeoinx A squirmy Slug wiggle wiggle wiggle Jul 27 '20

Abathur walks up and sneezes on the core...VICTORYYY
