White mage, medic, healer. Support. Who do you heal? Where should I be? How aggressive can or should I be?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Definition:<br />
<br />
Support is the main healing class of most moba Games. Your main objective should be to use your abilities to heal or bolster your team so that they can better achieve there current objective. You are most likely to be the most important person on your team, without you it is highly unlikely that your team will be willing or able to confront the enemy team and triumph. Most healers have small to moderates health pools and generally look the part either sporting magical paraphernalia or medical tools some may even carry weapons. because of your necessity to your team it is imperative that you try to stay alive for as long as possible, your survival will greatly contribute to any action that your team may undertake.<br />
<br />
<br />
Positioning/play style<br />
<br />
The support is most likely the easiest hero to slay on any given team. Following this point the support hero is traditionally has the least damage output of any type of hero. To counter your vulnerability being with teammates who can defend you is a very good idea, your main function is to keep yourself and them alive, to reiterate from earlier the support is extremely important and without you your team will not operate at full strength.<br />
<br />
There are both melee and ranged supports and if you are new to the game I would definitely suggest that you play as the ranged variety however as any type of support you should be wary of 1v1 attacking an enemy hero especially an assassin. Once you have reached the team fighting stage no matter what type of support you are you should wait till other members of your team initiate combat then see to there wounds and attack when given the opportunity,<br />
<br />
Support is one of the easiest rolls to play but perhaps the hardest to master. Remember the objective of the game is to destroy the enemies core. this means that dealing damage is imperative to your success. once again we find ourselves in a bit of a conundrum. Dealing damage as the support is opportunistic at best. map awareness will be your greatest asset. Focus on staying with your team and where the enemy team is and you should be fine.<br />
<br />
Closing:<br />
<br />
Prioritize healing charterers that are low o health or are necessary to your teams win condition. Stay safe be aware of your surroundings and most importantly dont be a hero, you are not a solo laner you are not the number one damage dealer you are a doctor you are meant to save lives not take them. playing the support is very rewarding and very important master it and you can carry a team to victory. <br />

Squishy, deadly, aggressive, damage dealer, PvP expert, killer, cutter, Assassin. In this article I will explain how to game as the Assassin.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Definition:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">The assassin character comes in two broad categories, ranged and melee. As the name implies this means that it is for job to incapacitate enemy combatants for your team. The Assassins archetype is dominated by characters with low health pools and high DPS (Damage per second) or burst heroes (high damage very rapidly with long periods of time between). Usually an assassin will be slimmer or more aggressively dressed. some may carry weapons that look quite deadly such as a gun or knife riling with energy. the easiest way to pick out an assassin when playing a MOBA style game is to hit it. If you see the enemy health bar drop quite quickly it is likely to be a assassin or healer, if in hits you back and does a lot of damage, you can be pretty sure it is an assassin. Of course there are several different variety's of assassin in each category such as the "mage" or "Ambush er" but for for the purpose of this article we will focus on a back line either auto attacker "right clinker" or "mage" archetype.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">how to play a ranged assassin: </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Objective</span></span></span></h3>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">first you need to understand what Moba games are. Your purpose as a team is not to merely wipe out the enemy team repeatedly</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> but to destroy the enemy teams main base (the core in heroes of the storm). this means that although you the Assassin specialize in killing members of the enemy team it should always be your to priority</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> to destroy the enemy team's main base. Destroy the enemy base win the game and earn your reward that is your objective!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Positioning</span></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">it goes without saying that you should try to stay with your team and support them as necessary. please do not be a solo act, remember you are playing a team game and being with your team will bring you more benefit than being alone in most instances. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">In this example you are playing as a ranged assassin. This means that there is no need your you to ever be in close proximity with the enemy team. Try to stay behind your main tank (Melee warrior) so that they can absorb the damage for you.  you can and should move up when you believe that there is a high likelihood that you can down an enemy but remember to over extend is almost certain death.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Dealing damage</span></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">If you have chosen or built a hero that does a lot of damage by simply clicking on an enemy and firing away than you should always be within range of an enemy during a team fight. this means that the priority target of an enemy healer or counter, specialist or assassins may be out of reach. I am telling you now that is OK do not try to run past your team so that you may fire at priority targets. Let the ebb and flow of the battle push and pull you till the opportunity arises and you may capitalize upon it with enough health to retreat with the assault goes south.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">After choosing an ranged assassin with abilities that deal the majority of the damage you must be slightly more passive than your auto attacking brethren. However in most circumstances you will be the hero to secure the kill. because your abilities have a set amount of time and mana that they cost you must use them intelligently and with forethought. as an engagement begins there is the opportunity to cast your abilities and have them online at least once more during the battle. this means that you should play as water, come forward to cast abilities that are targeted or short ranged than pull back as the engagement continues. After your initial salvo you should focus on who you are hitting. let the auto attacking hero do their damage and move in to secure the kill/kills with your burst damage. this evolution of gaming style will greatly improve your fighting capabilities. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<h4>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Closing:</span></span></h4>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">You are tender and frail. You are weak and soft. You are a powerful mage or force of untold destruction. in order to function to the highest capacity you must try to work with your team to maximize your damage output. Try to stay behind your tank or in easy range of other heroes that can give you support. Do not prioritize slaying enemy heroes over winning the game. Be patient, attack retreat, push forward and attack again as opportunities and the battle dictates. Follow these mantras and you are well on your way to improving your game play.</span></span></div>

Front line warrior, bullet sponge, cc train, defender, the tank. what is it? How do you play it? What makes it tick?<br />
<br />
Definition:<br />
<br />
The "tank" is a type of character found in almost all gaming genres. From the hunters of the popular Si-Fi shooter Halo to the classic warrior of Dungeons and Dragons. He or she is quite simply there to take damage and lock down the opponents so that his teammates will be able to preform there duties free of harassment. In general you can identify a tank by the character model, they are bulky, intimidating and usually carry over-sided weapons and shields. There are several different styles and variations on the premise of "tanking" however for the purpose of this article we will focus on the damage obstruction and distraction style exemplified by ETC the hero in the video.<br />
<br />
Play style:<br />
<br />
As the definition eludes to your job is to to be in the front of your team, zoning away opponents, taking damage and protecting allies. That's a lot to take in and if read literally means that you need to be in the front line, the side lines and the back line all at the same time. Impossible. Let's break it down so that these roles and positioning is easier to understand.<br />
<br />
Example: By looking at the mini map you can see that the entirety of the enemy team is grouped up in the middle of the map trying to defend an objective.<br />
<br />
Your team is fairly well condensed without any noticeable or worrying damage on any one hero that may make them a target for attack by enemy assassins. Your team consist of a main tank (you) one healer and three assassins. The enemy team consist of the same types and relative power levels as your team.<br />
<br />
You must stop the enemy team from completing this objective.<br />
<br />
Should you?<br />
<br />
A) Tell your team to follow you and lead the charge<br />
B) Tell your team to split so as to try and envelope the enemy team<br />
C) Try to ambush the enemy team when the opportunity arises<br />
D) Let the other members of your team "poke" the enemy with damaging spells and abilities while they are locked into a position.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you answered with A B C or D you would be correct. However each answer is more viable depending on the ability and confidence you have in your team.<br />
<br />
If you answered A, these premises should be true.<br />
1) You have won previous engagements with this formation.<br />
2) Your team is responsive to your call to war and make ready.<br />
3) You know that the majority if not all of the abilities of your team are ready to be unleashed.<br />
4) Even if you die or are unable to fulfill your duties your team win win or survive the team fight<br />
<br />
if all or at least 3 out of 4 of these reasons have been fulfilled a frontal assault is viable. The tank should be at the tip of the spear in this assault<br />
As the engagement progresses and the tank suffers damage they may find that by moving to the side lines they may tempt enemy heroes onto attacking them more and moving out of position<br />
so as to be easy prey for the friendly team.<br />
<br />
If you answered B, these premises should be meet.<br />
1) crucially your team must be very responsive to the suggestion and fallout in an orderly and well timed manner.<br />
2) Your team consists of damage dealers with high burst potential, meaning the can kill a single target or multiple targets in a short span of time.<br />
3) The enemy team will be focused of either yourself or one other member or your team due to some ability they must interrupt or are interrupted by.<br />
4) The enemy has shown disorganization, hyper aggression or the propensity to retreat when surprised.<br />
<br />
If all or at least 3 out of 4 of these reasons have been fulfilled an aggressive ambush/invasion is viable.<br />
The tank should be with an assassin and the healer while the other two assassins split off.<br />
The tank should initiate the invasion but move back after absorbing the initial damage to protect the assassins that were split from the bulk of his force<br />
or retreat to the back line to regenerate health and receive necessary healing.<br />
<br />
If you answers C, these premises should be meet.<br />
1) your team has been tied with or losing in previous engagements<br />
2) One or more of your teammates is unresponsive or lacking<br />
3) The majority of Abilities your team can bring to bear are unavailable<br />
4) Members of the enemy team seem to be restless and wander the map when in one area to long.<br />
5) some members of your team are severely wounded but can not return to home base to heal due to the objective and immanent loss of the game.<br />
<br />
If the majority of these reasons have been fulfilled a passive or waiting ambush is viable. The friendly team may condense with the tank leading from the front or spread out to be able to catch wandering members of the enemy team when or if the break off.<br />
If an enemy team member does move far enough away from there team. You the tank should signal that you are going to attack and isolate the enemy combatant. Once your team has killed the lonely member of the enemy team you can and may innate a full frontal assault or if the enemy team retreats send the members of your team to complete objectives or heal. As time is short in this scenario and if the enemy team is not breaking up, an assault may be the only option see the description of example A for a scenario of how to move and act.<br />
<br />
If you answered D, these premises should be meet.<br />
1) Your team consists of many long ranged damage dealing assassins<br />
2) the enemy team consist of many heroes the fight in melee range<br />
3) some members of the enemy team or your team are wounded<br />
4) Members of the enemy team will be distracted or attacked by the objective<br />
5) Your abilities are not available so you would be unable to protect your allies.<br />
<br />
If the majority of these reasons have been fulfilled than drawn out ranged battle should be met.<br />
As the tank you should be in the back line waiting to receive heals or wait the necessary time till your abilities are ready for use once again. This does not mean that you should abandon your team, on the contrary you should be standing very close to your high priority team members, this will dissuade the enemy team from sending abilities that you may catch with your body at them and allow your teammates to damage the enemy team with impunity.<br />
<br />
Closing:<br />
<br />
The methods of attack that I have listed here should help you gain a basic grasp of what is required of you to do as a main tank. Of course none of of these scenario will happen exactly as described and being able to adapt will be the the most important thing to learn as a tank. Remember your role is to protect your team from damage, the set up and secure kills for your assassins, and in general lead your team. As time goes on you will become more accustomed to what is required of you. Feel free to explore and try out new scenarios.<br />
