Zagara is so far the most annoying hero, just for her sheer lanepushing abilities, and she has so much vision its hard to gank her. But I'm still a newb so probably have plenty to learn. Will try to match Thrall up against her next time.
Best of luck with your writing!

Zagara is a bit OP right now. She was the foremost lane bully in the game for a long time but, interestingly, often wasn't as good at siege as heroes like Murky and Xul. Most teams drafted her for her teamfight capabilities (Maw, Hunter-Killer) and less for the role that she was nominally created for (herein lies the rant/explanation about Blizzard's generic title of "specialist" for anyone who does something unusual; don't they ALL do something unusual?) When they overhauled her a few weeks back, they cut back markedly on that teamfight ability (nerfing both Maw and HK) but seriously expanded her siege ability and the power of Nydus (which they have since nerfed a bit.) So, if you know how to split push and can keep an eye on the mini-map like good Abathur players, Zagara is the queen (appropriately enough.)
Thrall is a solid counter in that one lane as he always has been. But if you're on a rotational map (Tomb, Shire), she can wreck you unless Thrall totally commits himself to shadowing her every move. I've found recently that what works best against her are ranged assassins like Li Ming, Raynor, Chromie(!), and the newly-buffed Sgt. Hammer because Zagara no longer heals faster on Creep and, despite the extra AA range now given by the Creep, all of the above still outrange her. That means that they can do massive damage with continual poke, which will force her to retreat and/or tap the well or get dead. Incidentally, I've always had spectacular success against Zagara with Murky, since so much of a good Zagara's success rides on her ability to place and keep Creep and there is no hero in the game better able to remove Creep tumors than Murky (Slime is AoE, every 4 seconds, no mana cost.) Plus, he directly competes with her on siege ability, which means you should be able to knock down as many buildings and clear as many waves (if not more) as the Zag team.

I would say Asia is ahead of the EU and NA scene, the stun and CC potential of warriors can set up and dictate the game much more than the solo warrior comps that most people are running. But it requires more team work and better timing.

That's Samuro the Blademaster (Taste-uh mah blade-uh!) Pretty badass trailer, if nothing else.

No, seriously. Blizzard's kind of doing a re-release of Heroes (Heroes 2.0) tomorrow (25th) and they're going to be giving people enough gems (new currency to replace cold, hard cash; finally able to gift friends on Battle.net?) to pick up a bundle of 20 heroes: us.battle.net/heroes/en/heroes20/megabundles/
So, like, DOAM for free. Even better than Hearthstone.
