Heroes of the Storm Guide - Hero Buyer's Guide: Leoric [by MrTransparent]

It's that time again, Leoric is due to go down to 10k gold Between 22:30 and Midnight tonight (GMT+1) -Approximately from Johanna and Butchers times-

So there are probably some people thinking, is Leoric worth the gold? Is he the sort of hero I would like?

So here is some Pointers.

• The most Similar Play styles are probably Arthas and Tyrael.
• Sustain is his game, he will last long when he is alive, and be back soon when he is dead.
• Does well against The beefier Tanks such as Muradin and Johanna due to Drain hope doing % damage.
• Can be a Pseudo-Specialist, Does good in lane (due to sustain) and has good wave clear.
• Not Really a solo tank, but it can be done.
• Lacks Stuns to save team
• Both Heroics are Viable.
• One of the most annoying heroes to play against, Constant slows and being ever present in the fight.
• Slow Attack speed, Get used to AA, Q, AA.
• Has a decent escape skill in Wraith walk.
• Has a hard time soloing Merc Camps.
• Fairly Vulnerable to Stuns and Mobile Heroes
• Non-stop play time ^{not good if you like to text people when you are dead}

All in all, Leoric is a top tier hero, Worth 10k for sure if you enjoy being a front line, and like clearing waves and collecting globes.
