First of all, I also like Conan's show, but I have no idea what that
has to do with WC (love that ostrich!)
Second, if you're not using the FF, you're missing a lot. It's
guidance system requires no lock(you don't even have to target
anyone), so it's great against strakha, if you're in a hurry. It's
also very useful if you're playing on nightmare against a swarm of
Ekapshis. Just release a few FFs, they will seek out any enemies on
your tail.
As for the Leech, it worked great in Armada, but I think Origin
thought it worked too well. They weakened it for WC3, only too much
for it to be useful.
