This is another one of those maps that is hard, but hard almost regardless of what hero you're using. Can I just say that Webspitter Spiders having an AoE stun on a 7 second cooldown is grossly unfair? There's a fair amount that can go wrong here with bad RNG, from too many Gloomies getting past the reinforcements, to the first wave of Webspitters webbing their way right through your defenses.
Impressions
I had to take an unusual step with the grading on this map. Every hero gets an 'A' except Razz and Rags. I feel really bad singling them out like that, but I just couldn't justify giving them an 'A' along with everyone else. It's the maps fault, though. The trickiest part is the first pair of Webspitter Spiders that appear from opposite sides. You need to hold Thunderbolt in reserve to potentially take care of one of the spiders, so the question is if your hero can help take care of the other one (usually via their Hero Spell, since they'll most likely get webbed themselves). For every other hero that's true - they can damage it, stun it, etc. - but Changeling just doesn't have a great use scenario here. You can use it as a temporary stun, but that's about it. As such, I felt compelled to give Razz the "okay, but sub-optimal" tag of a 'B'.
Final Grades
- Eridan - A
- Arivan - A
- Catha - A
- Reg'son - A
- Prince Denas - A
- Razz and Rags - B
- Bravebark - A
- Vez'nan - A
- Xin - A
- Phoenix - A
- Durax - A
- Lynn - A
- Bruce - A
- Lilith - A
- Wilbur - A
- Faustus - A
Best Choice
Reg'son surprisingly grabs another top spot here. Vindicator guarantees an instant kill on one of the Webspitters, freeing you up to use Thunderbolt proactively instead of reactively against the other one. This means you can time it optimally so the slowing effect can help out with any Gloomy leaks, giving your towers time to take them all down.
