Anyone got any hero suggestions for this map?
Any general playstyle tips?
Any tricks or 'cute' things you can do?
I've only played half a dozen games and I think I have a couple:
*Specialist heroes seem to excel here since it is a lane soaking kind of map and very short distances between keeps and walls.
*A quick 4 or 5 man push with Sylvannas and some other specialists before the minion waves come out can take down a tower or two and get back into lanes in time not to lose any exp or gems.
*A general rule of thumb is to try and turn in gems around 10 on your head. Team needs 50+ so each person will have the same roughly. You also don't want to turn into the other team's objective with too many on you.
*Right after you turn in enough gems for your team, you can start a merc camp or boss and it will stay up while the enemies have to deal with the lanes. They can see the gold indicator on the map which reveals you are there fighting though.
*I think Sylv, Naz, sgt hammer are pretty solid picks on this map.
