Starcraft 2: WoL is now Free

Who's everyone's main / favorite commander? Mine is probably Nova, but I also enjoy Abathur and Stukov quite a lot. For Protoss it used to be Alarak, but Fenix has been growing on me steadily.

Stukov by a long shot. He can legitimately solo 3/4 of the maps with ease, has 2 major calldowns that can easily clear any Brutal wave and still have time to clear terrain, he is one of the best choices in most (but DEFINITELY not all) mutations. His only real weakness is detection because Overseers tend to die really fast, but even then standard Stukov strategy means you have a massive bank so you can just suicide in Overseers to clean up any actual stealth.

If I don't play Stukov then I'm probably playing Karax or Vorazun. Between those 3 you can beat 99% of any Brutal mutation with just a semi-competent partner.

Yeah, Stukov is OP. You pretty much never need to make anything other than his hordes of infested.

I'm not nearly as good with Karax and Vora as I should be. Playing with a good Karax though is so relaxing, like taking an herbal bath.

I like Tychus too but isn't he dead? He's not a commander in any event, unless I'm missing something big.

I mean, he would be a really cool commander (there's an empty Odin lying around the Dominion somewhere - just saying!) but if we are due another terran commander I'd rather have Tosh, nobody is using spectres yet.

In story he is dead, yes, but he's already a Heroes of the Storm champion so that's not really a bar to his inclusion as a commander. Frankly I'd be pretty surprised if he WASN'T made a commander at some point, I feel like he would definitely be in the next 2 or 3 commanders made.

I mean, HotS is different though, The Nexus explicitly includes champions living and dead. The co-op isn't canon or anything, but it does seem to mostly take place at a specific point in the story - Kerrigan is both free-willed and zerged up, Artanis and co. have the Spear of Adun, Amon is alive and has control of all three factions etc.

Heh. Have you seen this about Karax?

I didn't! Thank you, I only saw his Overwatch stuff

Oh, you said commander. I read that as character. Oops.

I like to play star 1 rather than star 2

Maxed out all commanders and I'm now at 80 Mastery - 10 levels away from having all the "paragon points." Then I'll be diving into other games more fully.

...Until they release the next commander anyway...
