I'm just very curious to see what's everybody's favorite builder is. I thought it'd be fun to hear the reasoning behind who your favorite builder is, as well as just having something new to talk about on the forums
so, to be concise about it, tell us who your favorite builder is and explain why :p
Although my name should reveal who my favorite builder is, i'll go ahead and explain why Nature is my favorite builder.
In my opinion I like to consider Nature a very versatile, well rounded builder. I know Nature himself isn't described as a hybrid builder such as Tauren, Morph, etc .. But he still has the ability to maybe be thought of as one. Even if the Nature builder can't support a base on his own, his army of trees can! Spear throwers are a very underestimated base support unit. They have the ability to kill wards and poison the titan while dealing an immense amount of damage!(100base dmg not taking into consideration of the upgraded version of the unit) He's very well equipped to go titan hunting as well, with or without his arc upgrades(Specially with that OP TH). Although if it is an advanced titan player I advice waiting to go hunting until you research your arc upgrades.
In regards to titan hunting although this technique isn't used very often anymore they are also able to fruit trap with their workers!(which should ONLY be done to a VERY inexperienced ID player)
Now onto the basing version of this builder. Depending on how fed the titan is, Nature's basic defensive towers can be weak. But I feel that where Nature makes up for this is his special towers. Opposed to other builder's special towers that are 90g+ Nature's special towers are only 45g each.(with the exception of the spell well tower) These two towers consist of the very cherished aura tree which everybody loves <3 and the spiny protector that can be considerably dangerous. The spell well tower is also good but is not really needed in most situations unless you are being supported and your support is being targeted and harassed very harshly. Heal and frost armor can ameliorate this situation if that's the case but not tremendously. Bloodlust and mana burn isn't really worth the 90g. I'd take an aura tree and spiny or 2spinys over spell well.
Nature is also capable of being able to Wall walk and jump base, which is always fun. Not to mention the Ww Wall walk for trolling titan <:

Re: Favorite builder?
I'd probably have to Agree with you on Nature. Most of the times when I go Nature I just end up jumpbasing, it's fun to do.

Re: Favorite builder?
Out of all my games played, I'd say that I've also played Nature the most for his wall walk, OP titan hunter, and minion hunting capabilities.
Second, Tauren, for sheep tag walk, tankiness/survival at mid, fun with pokes, mass walling, and OP AR.
Third, Faerie, basically just for health bonus upgrades, gold whoring, and eventual gold tower walking on water, and being one of the best re-wallers for a base, and awesome mana burn towers for double basing.
Fourthly, I also played a lot of draenei to carry games, due to how considerably OP he is, even afk-ing at mid, and grabbing all the seeds.
Radio is also fun to play, skill capacity is out of the roofs with hunter micro-management, denying walls at mid, or even following the titan around, denying every single feed he has, and ultimately making him rage quit with the toxic split combo.

Wow thats insane I didn't know you could do that!
Dryad, sweet dryad, sometimes I call her Twilight Sparkle after my favourite show
I get 30g and my base is probably unbreakable, I just research fertilizer from arc and up my towers to lvl 7 with insanely fast mana regen, 50dmg/750 range, I'll last until gp if I get any half assed supporter but mostly not even necessary. Dryad's strength is that her lumber gain is tied into mana for her towers. It's extremely low feed and allows for the highest number of highest damage towers in the game the fastest. Because of this huge advantage dryad always has 50hp nukable workers which sucks, but after 50 towers you only have 5 left anyway. Also, if you get attacked while basing or just finished your base is weak and can be taken out. And if you don't get the 30g her mana regen sucks.
Her hunter is single lane, non-blocking and at 760 hps can take multiple nukes and is good for killing wards and minis. Dryad can also go on the offensive as she has a good special tower gold sink, spiny towers. If I see that the titan is mediocre and I get at least 135 I will just merch + 2 spiney on hunt and join the fray. Also her roots ability is a long range, high slow to movespeed, attackspeed and armor reduction. Very good for killing minis and titans when they try to retreat from base.
Another thing dryad could also be used for is really small bases like 15 towers, if you have 50g you can get mana regen aura on her hunt + merch and up towers to lvl 10 even faster than fertilizer. Still want to try a funbase like that.

Yes, Dryad is indeed fairly OP, but I wouldn't classify the builder under "fun", or "favourite". We're not talking about which is the best builder, but the builder that you enjoy playing the most, and the reasons why.

Re: Favorite builder?
Favorite builder game I ever played I had 4 shields of might and the haste/slow panda boxes on Demo w/ fortified armor and stuff. Given I can get my grubby paws on all that stuff, Demo is my favorite
