idk most squishy/average health targets get chunked at your t3 power spike timing

#

+165 flat damage on power slash amped by however much on spirit snatch then I'll Fuckin Do It Again typically = dead

#

and if not dead then sufficiently wounded that they will piss pants and run

#

you can if you so wish build mystic reverb and spirit burn etc for pure nukage on your 1

autumn field
#

Yeah probably need to retry Yamato

rich grove
#

the character's numbers are sufficiently bonkers that you lowkey can just freestyle a bunch when you understand her basic fundies

#

and you'll be rewarded for it

#

you just also need to have the mixture of gamesense and confidence to take and win 1s

autumn field
#

I need to make a spirit hybrid Vyper build

#

I’m not great at her but I’m improving and Im going to be so fucking nasty to play against in the future

warped ridge
#

bonkers? did they do global nerfs or something? back when I played she was just hyper carry role but got demolished early game to most champs

autumn field
#

Mainly for her 2, because her 2 is kinda like really fucking good once maxed

rich grove
#

she rewards plays that would be so fuckin dumb on nontanky characters while having a really good sense of flow and general agility that the fatties don't

#

which is why I play her as the bruiser in my stack as opposed to abrams/shiv

warped ridge
#

that's interesting that they let her be a bruiser

#

I can see it though given her kit

rich grove
#

I just like dippin divin duckin and dpowerslashing more

autumn field
#

I’d use her if I could figure out her flow, since right now I can only brawl properly early game and not so much late

warped ridge
#

I love the powerslash, real judgement cut energy ngl

autumn field
#

Late game gets really weird for me though

#

It’s hard to play late

rich grove
#

part of it is that she can play the stupid melee rps really well with 2 and lifestrike/spirit snatch are both fucking broken on her

#

yes please give me +200 hp and 50% movement slow on light melee

#

yes please amp my damage and take their spirit away and their spirit resist away on a punch

autumn field
#

You know I need to learn to watch enemy builds but also

#

450 DPS

rich grove
#

the only real achilles item is just silence wave but you buy debuff remover almost every game so you can deal

#

and they can't silence your fists

warped ridge
#

Glorious debuff remover

#

I take it on like 80% of my games usually

rich grove
#

or torment pulse

#

debuff remover doesnt grant debuff resist it grants +fun

#

the less debuffed you are the more fun you can have

#

therefore debuff remover should be called fun biggener

#

posting it like this because twitter

short quiver
#

Pocket really dodged a bullet there( the metaphorical one not the real one)

warped ridge
#

Pocket continues to drop the ball

#

I want them to get revenge by killing their father

#

Only way I will like them

quiet sapphire
#

pocket's heart did a double stand-cancel dash to the side and dodged the bullet

somber creek
lavish grove
#

Yah that is one thing I’m curious about

#

Will any of the stories be like, after the ritual?

#

Because presumably that involves a few characters dying

#

Unless the patrons are able to revive them afterwards

warped ridge
lavish grove
#

But everyone talks like the losing side is going to die so like, idk

lavish grove
somber creek
#

The weird thing is that unlike most mobas

#

The Ritual is a one and done deal

#

Implied by everyone

lavish grove
#

Yah

#

It’s a rare thing

#

And only 1 side gets their wishes

warped ridge
#

Look you gotta forgive me (no you dont) but Ima be a hater cause should have been me

quiet sapphire
#

Well pocket's pretty explicitly stated that they're not going to kill their father

#

just stop him

lavish grove
#

Hmmm, y’all think Mr Fairfax killed his dad to inherit the company?

#

Also yah I’m genuinely curious what they’re gonna do if they ever decide to show the story past the ritual

twilit roost
#

It's every 50/100 years i think? so basically a grail war

lavish grove
#

Kinda is lol

twilit roost
#

First one was the maelstrom when supernatural stuff became common place and this is the second ritual I think?

agile void
#

I mean

warped ridge
agile void
#

the DOTA is supposed to be a one time deal

#

and due to time shenanigans that the 2 sides do

#

its not

lavish grove
#

Also, ngl it’s kinda weird that pocket and McGinnis don’t have any interactions together

agile void
#

main reason arc warden tries to stop it

somber creek
#

The voice lines aren't finished

lavish grove
#

True yah

#

It’s just that a bunch were added in these updates

#

And I kinda expected pocket and McGinnis to be one of them

#

Also, it is kinda funny how sorta, casually evil McGinnis is lol

#

She’s the chief weapon’s engineer for magical Lockheed Martin and is very clear, she doesn’t have a single goddamn moral issue with it

#

If you pay her she’d invent a soul powered nuclear bomb without a second though

twilit roost
#

Call that a spirit bomb

lavish grove
#

It’s also kinda funny how the only character who doesn’t seem to like her so far is Seven, not because of all the weapons she’s made but because she’s a wagey

quiet sapphire
#

wasted potential

#

she can make anything and all she makes are soulshredder 3000's for eldritch tactical solutions

lavish grove
#

It’d be way better if she made the soulshredder 3000 for personal use

tardy sundial
twilit roost
#

Got a voice lines yesterday when patron calls her out, a mastercraftswomen but no vision

quiet sapphire
#

carry a soulshredder 3000 for home defence

#

just like the founding fathers intended

tardy sundial
#

I've had a pocket line where he asks 'why the hell she works for fairfax'

lavish grove
#

Like a kill line?

tardy sundial
#

Idk, middle of the fight tho

lavish grove
#

Ah ok

lavish grove
#

Oh yah Ivy does

#

My anti magical Lockheed Martin goat

agile void
#

anyone wanna do a few matches?

#

I have a bit of free time

#

yesterdays deadlock night shift pickrate

#

seriously Im surprised people are scared of playing doorman

merry verge
#

Cowards appreciating consistency and things they've done before

tardy sundial
#

lot of paradox this time

agile void
#

also surprised vindicta was just straight up not picked

warped ridge
#

Well the people who like the feet are playing uhhh
looks at this month's game releases
Silksong

merry verge
#

Didn't the model update change dat

warm sonnet
#

I have embraced my inner rat by playing Vyper

#

I take the shrine
I slide through the guardians
I get away with it
Dead Billy

merry verge
#

This is objectively the correct way to play Calico

#

Also just solid thumbnail

edgy fog
#

I kinda want more monstrous ivy back ;-;
I love the idea of a gargoyle batwoman going around being a vigilante

lavish grove
# agile void

Kinda interesting how the late game M1 characters kinda fall off a cliff at this high a rank

#

Like the only one who got picked at all was Haze and even then she wasn’t picked super often

#

Infernus and Vyper are just untouched

merry verge
#

Probably all the coordinated CC an all

#

An actually focused team can deny a carry farm instead of watching their Yamato go 2/15

lavish grove
#

Yah true lol

merry verge
#

Also might be some Gun Ivy in dere

lavish grove
#

Doesn’t matter if Vyper has solo farmed all game and can now 1v6

#

People will chain knockdown on her

agile void
lavish grove
#

Oh neat

agile void
#

the scaling of his gun is pretty good and even then he can still heal decently

twilit roost
#

It also was a m1 meta not too long ago wasnt it? now its mostly spirit

magic summit
#

Team fight. And that is blow up their backline

#

Notably your crimson slash slows fire rate by a lot. Your leveled up grapple can follow people through dashes or high in the air. Your slash gives bullet resist while charging it

#

You should play her to make Vindicta/Haze/Infernus ect uninstall the game

agile void
#

again, fred the finch is the biggest yamato one trick

#

there is more but if you want someone that streams and is known, he is the one

autumn field
#

Luckily Fred doesn’t talk much

#

Just replying to someone with like, “this item is dogshit on yamato”

ivory reef
#

I am really enjoying Yamato and lash

#

I like speedy jumpy creatures

#

I wanna get good at mina but she's tough

agile void
#

considered Ivy/vyper?

#

not really jumpy but they do go fast

ivory reef
#

I have!

#

But my friends are all support creatures

#

And I'm not sure I want to mix a gun character into my list

agile void
#

I mean ivy can go gun

ivory reef
#

Like, I wanna position myself for a consistent role

agile void
#

there is the wander gun build

ivory reef
#

Yes exactly

#

That's part of the problem

#

I think I wanna stick to spirit gankers

agile void
agile void
#

Honestly Im not a good example, my games have been like very cursed lately

#

half of them having someone disconnect so the game doesnt count and everyone leaves

ivory reef
#

Ooh that's a thought

agile void
#

or me somehow doing more damage than a warden

autumn field
#

I’m a Vyper main

ivory reef
#

Anyway afaik mina is also a spirit ganker

#

I should just get good

autumn field
#

I’ve got like, her perfectly planned out for my preferences

ivory reef
#

She's also hot so that's nice

autumn field
#

Yeah Mina is hot

ivory reef
#

@native nexus is enjoying vyper in my squad

agile void
#

actually

#

why not geist?

ivory reef
#

Any advice for a newbie?

autumn field
#

Vyper can be replaced with Haze though

ivory reef
#

I'll keep that in mind

autumn field
#

For Vyper?

#

I suck, honestly

ivory reef
#

Perfect

agile void
#

ALSO also

ivory reef
#

That means your advice will be useful

autumn field
#

But the best thing to learn is using mantle for slides

agile void
#

you could go kelvin

#

ice path is nice movement

autumn field
#

And learning to manage stamina and when to burn it, personally

#

Your ideal build is pretty squishy (lots of GUN, maybe some spirit if you like your dagger (fun as fuck) or your 2 (baby yamato 1))

#

Since you also play close it’s a pretty big challenge

agile void
#

if you want M1 streamers

#

zerggy would probably be the closest example?

#

tho.....

ivory reef
#

Does anyone know any scrim streams

#

Like 6 person team play with team voice

autumn field
#

For Victor I recommend watching Lightbringer

autumn field
#

I never watched his vods but like, I talked to the dude

agile void
#

he is like that, sometimes

autumn field
#

He’s chill so far

#

But yeah Vyper gets like, 450 DPS in late game, functionally cannot run out of ammo EVER if played right

twilit roost
ivory reef
#

Excellent

agile void
#

just yesterday they had a match

autumn field
#

Haze is like Vyper if Vyper was good right now, actually

agile void
autumn field
#

But that’s just balance being balance, they’re fundamentally different with similarish kits

agile void
#

this is the vod

twilit roost
#

For spirit bruiser have you tried Billy? Lots of mixing in quick melees with spirit snatch and for heals

agile void
#

technically the best billy builds are more gun oriented

autumn field
#

Billy is one of those dudes who seem to be a 50/50

agile void
#

and you have your 1 as your reload

autumn field
#

Sometimes I just delete them 24/7, sometimes they’re a monster

twilit roost
#

Ill also suggest drifter if you want more macro oriented gameplay (stealing enemy jungle and winning against any 1v1s there)

autumn field
#

I fucking love Vyper

#

My only wish is that she gets buffed in some really silly way like making her spirit scaling stamina

finite patrol
#

my vyper advice: you are a hit and run character don't get stuck in and learn when to give up. you gotta stay slippery.
buy a barrier early. reactive or spirit are the best for most lanes.
buy veilwalker it does everything for you in terms of sustain and roaming.
this is THE split shot character it is a little bit of a crutch but being able to focus on movement and hold down m1 while looking in an enemy's general direction is very nice

#

if they have a lot of slows BUY DEBUFF REMOVER IT IS THE 3RD BEST ITEM IN THE GAME

agile void
#

which is the 2nd and the best one?

#

counter spell?

finite patrol
#

extra spirit and monster rounds

agile void
#

...why extra spirit?

autumn field
#

Monster rounds is goated

finite patrol
#

because I'm messing with you

#

extra spirit is really good though

agile void
finite patrol
#

I do sincerely believe monster rounds is the best item for it's soul cost

agile void
#

the one That makes me raise an eyebrow was extra

#

there is also resto shot

#

which arguably makes extra regen irrelevant

autumn field
#

Monster is like a must pick on EVERY early build I use

finite patrol
#

I think counterspell, resto shot, veilwalker, silence wave, knockdown are all contenders for some of the best items along with the ones I mentioned

#

some of these are situational but when they're good they're amazing

autumn field
#

Resto is the 800 right?

finite patrol
#

yes

autumn field
#

I use Resto a lot, I need to get knockdown or the like when I see a vindicta

finite patrol
#

I think kd is must buy against Vin, haze, gt if they are ahead and always good against lash and seven

autumn field
#

imo it’s amazing when you’re not good enough to rely on just minion + passive healing

warped ridge
#

I wonder who I should pickup fourth, probably Billy but I'm also considering Mina as like a Darius pick

somber creek
#

I've been having a lot of fun as Mina

rich grove
# ivory reef I think I wanna stick to spirit gankers

mina is built spirit but still has some elements of an m1 if you want to get consistent value, since you need to proc her 3 to really start snowballing with her ult. that said she does have 2 and with recent cd changes she is really really slippery to get a hold of. i think for pure spirit + mobility though it's really hard to look past pocket

#

holliday would also fall under this with jump pads and you roam and gank a ton as holi early

#

but Pocket is almost literally just Puck and with Maj Leap being the meta pick on them, you're even more mobile than usual

#

you really can just spawn out of nowhere, dump affliction onto the teamfight and then shatter everyone's ankles when they try to chase you

finite patrol
#

pucket

rich grove
#

pucket

warped ridge
agile void
#

and people can explode you

somber creek
agile void
#

you have 200 less health than everyone else

rich grove
#

yeah just keep playing yams if you want to put people in a locker in lane

agile void
#

and the 200 less health is really fucking noticeable

rich grove
#

mina can just explode

agile void
#

she is one of the few that actually wants extra health because she is just that fucking squishy

#

and not because it builds into fortitude

warped ridge
#

These are good to know

#

Is Gray Talon still obnoxious in lane?

agile void
#

yes

#

but my frame of reference right now is the one match where I outdps a warden somehow, and the other was a dynamo(me) and kelvin lane vs victor/talon lane

merry verge
#

Gray Talon is obnoxious at every stage /nod

rich grove
#

it's just hard to impossible for most characters to interact with him when he presses 2

merry verge
#

( sometimes the bird is funny )

rich grove
#

and he do be doing a lot of poke

twilit roost
#

His intercontinental bird missle

merry verge
#

Truly every part of his kit is groan

#

The hitbox on charged shot is uhm

#

I'll say whimsical i guess

#

'remember getting shot around corners by TF2 Snipers? what if he was firing barrel-sized bullets'

warped ridge
#

Yeah, that sounds familiar from a year ago CatStare

#

I'll admit I shouldn't talk too much

#

Cause my 3rd pick is Sevens

#

Because of course it is

twilit roost
#

Seven is just eternally good, is decent to good at everything

warped ridge
#

Yeah but I feel slimey playing him

merry verge
#

it's fun to hit the big ult

#

thas fine

twilit roost
#

I've been having fun with stomp dynamo which is just silly, stomp is literally the size of a lane at base

merry verge
#

/pushes Power Surge off a bridge

agile void
#

Part of wants to stop using dynamo because there is a point where I feel I cant do shit unless I go with a carry

somber creek
#

The main way 7 sucks is that he has no escapes

autumn field
rich grove
#

well I read her post and she said lash

autumn field
#

most builds i see are like, 90% purple, 10% green

#

oh did she?

#

its been a while

#

but yes pocket is fun, but i dont play them

rich grove
#

put a coin in the jar

autumn field
#

im a vyper shill, give me MORE scaling deadlock

rich grove
#

the "his pronouns are they/them" toll

autumn field
#

GAH

#

tbh i forget pronouns 24/7

finite patrol

warped ridge
#

I can't remember

#

Is the Briefcase alive?

agile void
#

technically

#

do you consider this alive?

rich grove
#

the cloak is canonically sentient

agile void
#

part of the arguments used to say that Pocket is they/them because its 2 different people

finite patrol
#

pocket is non binary because they are defined as such in their lore

#

m&k and sinclair however are 2 different people

agile void
#

yeah I know, Im just pointing out that was one of the stupid arguments used to say pocket is not a they/them, that the briefcase and coat are 2 different entities

God

#

the Holiday nerfs feel

#

so oppressive

#

I hate top-down balancing

autumn field
#

wdym by top-down balancing

somber creek
#

Balance around pro play

autumn field
#

ah.

agile void
#

she deserves it

autumn field
#

i swear holliday was too strong before

agile void
#

also isnt that how Dota does balancing too?

somber creek
#

It's how most Mobas do it

#

I also think it sucks

warped ridge
#

Is there a balancing pattern you like more?

primal sphinx
#

It's how pretty much all games do it, you kind of have to balance around the highest-skilled players if you don't want to kill the game

#

It's pretty poisonous to the community to have the game get less playable as you invest more time and effort

#

It is possible to make changes that impact different skill levels different amounts, but it's much more of an art than a science

#

(The mana cost nerf on Glimmer Cape is a good example from Dota - it made the item less viable on cores, which mostly hit the higher levels of play, without significantly changing its value in lower brackets)

autumn field
#

In theory a perfectly balanced game has dynamic balance where depending on your overall “rank” heroes get stronger and weaker

#

But at the same time, what the fuck

#

But personally the best game has most of them balanced around high level (but not pro/top X% type stuff), with some balanced to be a little more favored in lower ranks, even if not so great higher up

#

Because realistically you can’t perfectly balance a whole game and you shouldn’t cater to 1%, etc

magic summit
#

For Winged I do think Lash would be a good go to for you

#

Largely builds items for brawling/ganking until you can afford Boundless Spirit/Mystic Reverb and just solo kill a whole team yourself

#

I might recommend watching Deathy's recent movement video if you are going to play Lash though because he relies pretty heavily on wall jumping mechanics to not die instantly

granite heath
magic summit
#

Lol

#

I have been trying to learn lash recently but I keep getting shitty ults

ivory reef
#

I'm the best

#

Just like lash

agile void
#

Anyone wants to try a few matches?

autumn field
#

btw idk if anyone here plays vyper, but, of all my games i have a 75% WR on her so far (not that many games tbf)

#

so im working on building her

#

i need to test her performance as hybrid spirit gun

#

but once i figure it out, does anyone want me to work a build out

#

im still bad, but that's everyone who isnt vyper or victor

feral umbra
#

I picked up Mina this week and have had similar success

#

Spirit Burn and her ult melts objectives

#

But now people know that so you also need ethereal shift to survive properly

feral umbra
#

I’d also be interested in seeing that hybrid build and route and what you use, cause Spirit should be good in theory I’ve just never had the success

autumn field
#

i know hybrid gun tank works but i want to see damage

#

the thing is, a well done vyper should have like 280 DPS and the rest should be spirit

#

at least, for me

#

my build is a 450 DPS one at about 35k souls iirc

#

very squishy though, but very good at objectives and excels in assassinations

#

relies on someone else to take aggro, like an abrams

#

i want to see how spirit works to improve assassination capability, since she deals like 250~ with her 2 before spirit scaling like crazy

#

(vs 25% HP)

#

incredibly good finisher, more reliable than lash's 260, but no AoE

autumn field
#

fuck. this build is STUPID.

#

worst part is this is a 40k build

#

Fuck. Spirit sucks on Vyper

#

Her max potential with like, a 165 spirit build deals only 700 damage vs 25% or less HP

#

And she loses so much DPS (430~, without glass cannon) relative to it 😭

autumn field
#

builds are fucking annoying to make tbh

#

i annotate for myself

#

so yeah i took some top builds and tossed things together, i need to figure out if i want to remove siphon

#

might take out glass cannon, but it is 80% more weapon dmg

#

think compress CD isn't worth it here

feral umbra
#

Spirit Vyper made more sense when her 3 had insane scaling on it, you’d rush it to 3 in lane and just nuke people

#

Now, post-nerf, not so much

feral umbra
#

2 I meant 2, my bad

#

The uh poison that deals damage with more based on missing health

autumn field
#

Yeah

#bot-stuff and do ?rank Deadlock

agile void
#

Im trying out mo

#

honestly

#

I dont even know what I was doing, but I came out of lane with 6/0/1

#

the match ended up in a loss though

#

is quick silver reload THAT core in mo?

#

like how it is on lash?

warped ridge
#

No match is a loss if you assume you will not win the match and instead focus on just winning the lane

finite patrol
agile void
#

I get the logic but also considering rank and how Is the matchmaking, I was probably against initiates

#

also, Billy/abrans

#

I tried again with a Yamato lash and I managed to stop the lash from ulting and killing him

#

still loss but that is because IRL stuff happened and my team ran out of pauses

warped ridge
#

I thought it's only casual queue atm?

#

No ranked mode?

agile void
#

its ranked

#

there is no casual

warped ridge
#

So then yeah only casual

#

No need to worry about winning or losing

#

If valve wanted dedicated rank-isms they would show rank

#

Unless they do

#

Then that would be really funny

autumn field
#

Yeah every match is “ranked” but they don’t display it intentionally

agile void
#

In these matches specifically I didnt worry about that, if anything I was surprised that as mo I could technically just

#

walk to a person

#

1

autumn field
#

The rank’s main goal is to show personal improvement over anything else

warped ridge
#

Well youre mo and krill

agile void
#

walk back

warped ridge
#

You can krill them

agile void
#

and somehow that is a favourable trade

#

granted that is how I saw other Mos do it

warped ridge
#

Yeah you're mo and krill

agile void
#

but still, I didnt expected to practically demolish lane twice

warped ridge
#

So even in a 1 for 1 trade you still win

#

Cause you're mo and krill

#

So 1 for 1 just means the other survivez

autumn field
#

:|

agile void
#

did they get rid of Krills hitbox?

#

I remember a time where apparently you could technically double headshot mo krill

#

as Vindicta

warped ridge
# autumn field :|

The best thing about Mobas in early life span are the goofy reasonings and bugs

#

Like in LoL one of Warwick's early bugs is if you ult someone the same frame they back you follow them to fountain

primal sphinx
#

Fountain Hook

warped ridge
#

Yeh which is funny cause you'll fly through the air when they get on the zip IIRC

agile void
#

which I understand as you could trap someone behind a invisible wall

twilit roost
#

they should put it back, it only gets people stuck if it's behind the gargoyle

agile void
#

but now you cant just straight up put door on fountain

twilit roost
#

carting somone is just good clean fun if they can still walkout

agile void
#

I hope they allow it later

she's just really really weird to play around

agile void
#

to the point she became from top 5 to NU

autumn field
#

sometimes she hits perfect shots 24/7

#

sometimes she never hits

#

and im playing vyper 😭

#

i have high spread

agile void
autumn field
#

yeah true lol

#

thats me playing against her

rich grove
#

from the mina

#

who is on my team

agile void
#

wait wtf

autumn field
#

how tf?

agile void
#

I though you were surprised how you got nuked by vind in 2 shots

rich grove
#

no that was pretty apparent

#

she knocked me off zip and then sniped me in the butt after taking a good long look

#

that one I can understand quite well

#

but how my own mina's ult damaged me is uhhh interesting

agile void
#

I mean I have gotten sometimes kill assist for my teammates dying

#

I dont know if those actually count or not because I never buy trophy collector

rich grove
#

as you should

#

😌

autumn field
#

also

#

apparently doorman can have like, 40 sec cd on his ult?

warped ridge
#

The only game I would argue I can read stats to a decent level is like, smite

#

but that's because for me, smite stats have easy feely recognition

#

where like league, or even more so dota, there's like
ITEM DIRK SHUTTERCREAM
-TELEPORT 67 UNITS AHEAD AND LEAVE A TRAIL OF OOZE, GAINING 74 SHIELD RESIST THAT DECREASES OVER 5 MOONSTEPS

#

and I'm just like

#

"What the fuck is a moonstep"

#

(this is obviously an overexagerration but this is what it feels like, even though I did reach gold in league)

agile void
merry verge
#

Sometimes it's fun to pick a person to ult every team fight

#

See how tilted you can get the Seven

#

Especially nice now that tanks / Counterspell can't just instantly quit

twilit roost
#

fun new glitch

#

notice anything missing?

#

oh thank god finally kicked to lobby that took a while

agile void
#

so that was a match

#

basically before laning phase haze died 5 times, she quitted, the mina and the doorman proceeded to shit talk us because of her

#

then they proceeded to lose walker, walker, walker

#

those 2 seemed to be the good players in their team

#

and this has been the first time I have been playing kelvin in.....

#

3 months or so

finite patrol
#

just shoot buildings

agile void
#

I was

#

once we managed to storm the base I think I was the only one shooting shrines then the patron phase 1

#

we went back to get some stuff, I defended blue alongside paige. then another fight broke through close to base

feral umbra
#

Every time I see these stories I check to make sure I’m not in them but I think I’ve played with that Haze before and lmao

agile void
#

and while the rest of the team spent their time shooting each other

#

I just...wiped patron

feral umbra
#

They usually play McGinnis when I see them and are the first to talk shit

agile void
#

espera eres latino tambien?

agile void
#

but I swear one moment she was doing boxes

#

bridge buffs spawn

#

she moves towards them

#

"Oh she will get it nice"

#

dead because of mina

#

wtf

feral umbra
#

Mina is kinda spooky if you get ulted

agile void
#

I dont even know if I could have helped haze more or she just had a really shitty lane

finite patrol
# agile void I was

I know lol you have 5× the next highest structure damage as fucking kevin

feral umbra
#

The silence catches people off guard because you can’t really stop it, debuff remover doesn’t purge ult debuffs like hers

#

20k obj is insane though that’s basically everything you can knock over

agile void
#

I dont know who had knockdown

#

but someone did and she didnt attempted to counter it while she was in ult

agile void
#

I dont remember if I did more but 1 walker was down before the end of laning phase, in the victor/talon lane

#

also

#

initiate

#

here people chase kills rather than doing objectives so I won thanks to 2 carries+more macro

feral umbra
#

Yeah if you’re low enough in the MMR you can basically be either the hyper fed distraction or the W+M1 objective blaster and that’s really all you need to drag a team over the finish line

#

I did it as Abrams when there were four lanes, that was a hoot

agile void
#

but yeah, you from southamerica too?

#

since you recognize the name of the haze

somber creek
#

The big problem with Mina's ult is the jump up on it tbh

agile void
#

You kind have to do it on low ceiling or waste a tp to not go that far up

autumn field
agile void
autumn field
#

Usually I’m only behind by up to like, 3k on haze at most

agile void
#

by the end she disconected we were like 7k

autumn field
#

I usually jungle and shred troopers then 2 off into the darkness to repeat

agile void
#

she tried that and she just died by herself

feral umbra
agile void
#

unless the game somehow threw me into a USA game, must be someone else with the same name then

autumn field
#

If you ever see me I’m just well, Ivy

feral umbra
#

If it’s weird time slots you can get out wherever to make a match

#

Or if you duo from multiple regions, when I duo with my friend in Scotland we’re basically permanently on the Russian and Eastern Europe games

runic cedar
#

i had a really weird/interesting interaction where i got paradox and doorman ulted at the same time so i couldnt escape the baroness but i was in the overworld, neat stuff

#

also, if anyone wonders where you can get mods, check game banana

#

for now Yoshi basically told us that mods are Ok so long they dont really provide "ingame" advantages and even then Im pretty sure they are looking at them to see what could be copied from mods or what people like

#

even people like deathy mention to download the Yamato mod because it was made using as reference one of the arts yoshi shared about her redesign

#

now she actually looks like she belongs here

how fast can you parry after dropping the urn

it's the same input right

I think parry is delayed like half a second

FUCK YEAH MIYABI YAMATO

this is fucking amazing

finite patrol
#

get yo bigass ears back in the frame god damn

autumn field
#

how does one build mina?

#

i feel like she'd be fun to play as hybrid, idk

finite patrol
#

spirit power and fire rate

#

and a little flat hp or barriers

#

mystic shot really good

autumn field
#

gonna try mina again

#

why is she 2 stamina?

finite patrol
#

because batform is an incredibly powerful movement / escape tool

twilit roost
#

Make sure to nab spirit burn on her to explode objectives with her ult as a late game item

somber creek
#

She is a hybrid in that she wants to proc on hits but her actual gun damage is not very good

finite patrol
#

it's downright terrible

#

you do like flat damage procs though so headshot booster / headhunter is a good pickup

autumn field
agile void
#

I remember people talking about her and coming up with this

#

she needs a lot of items to make it "work"

#

but even then she doesnt really get much use of all the atributes in all the items she buys

feral umbra
#

I mean you really just need tank buster and spirit burn

#

Everything else is to help you survive until you get those two items

#

And I guess boundless eventually

#

But those two are the big ones until they need her ult

i also fucking love the echo skin for paradox

autumn field
#

btw how do you play / build paradox?

#

she looks like a spirit + some gun type of gal, and best in teamplay?

warm sonnet
#

Yeah

autumn field
#

like that ult definitely trolls if used right, but it's pretty hard to use right i think?

warm sonnet
#

Her kit punishes poor positioning in general

autumn field
#

might be able to combo something like, yoinking them into a singularity or so on

warm sonnet
#

Or wallswaps

runic cedar
#

she also does great work as a disruptor

#

also a pick character to chase down low health characters

autumn field
#

i love vyper's 2 for that

#

shame her spirit scaling isn't ideal rn

warm sonnet
#

In a 1 v 1 you can dance around the wall

autumn field
#

i believe you have to go from like, 400 -> 300 DPS to run spirit decently well

#

and even then, it's a discount yamato 1 and a worse haze dagger

autumn field
#

idk i love the echo skin tbh

#

i love seeing a miyabi yamato chase me down, though it's a shame i have no clue how to play her or against her

#

they seem to just appear outta nowhere, grapple punch 3 80% slow 1 nuke tankbuster stun heavy melee or some shit

#

i once played against an abrams that just shredded me like crazy

feral umbra
#

Paradox’s loop is stack up debuff with grenade, hit carbine stun, yoink through the wall with ult, pray they’re dead

#

Or yoink into other ultra and teammates

autumn field
#

so what im hearing is "run refresher"

#

and trans cooldown

autumn field
#

what if you do into it, do you take the bullet dmg?

feral umbra
#

Her wall does %max hp dmg to people passing through it and the yoink itself does more damage the farther the distance they travel

#

So if you have like express shot, spirit burn, mystic shot, boundless that’s a ton of damage constantly

autumn field
feral umbra
#

And that % damage gets amped

autumn field
#

i see

feral umbra
#

Oh I think they changed it, 80% lifesteal explains a lot

autumn field
#

are there any forced movement items?

feral umbra
#

Rescue Beam but that’s for teammates

#

There’s no like knockback, just knockdown

autumn field
#

shame.

#

were you archon?

warped ridge
#

Idk, I never checked my rank a year ago, this website has these ranks so maybe given 3 of them were archon

#

like I know what emissary and archon are

#

and then that top 200 rank immortal or w/e

#

I don't see oracle or phantom so maybe they were old ranks

agile void
warped ridge
#

nah I'm like gold at best

#

tbf Idk what the rank equivolent ranks are

granite heath

Consulting the chart, Ritualist is approximately Ancient, as opposed to Alchemist, which is Crusader
Big shoutout to Archon not being the same level as Archon

#

I'm glad Valve has doubled down on the stupid names for ranks

what the fuck do these mean 😭

valve is like "you know how new words are created every generation"

i think next time we should split me and jaacker up since we play the most often too

#

make the lanes more equal

warped ridge

ye maybe swap into my lane to help with the MMR pulls

do not fret everyone

#

with my second ingenious build that i copied--annoying viscous

i will surely climb the ranks this time

I have 900 games

#

Even if Im bad at the game, the experience alone puts me above most people

maiden ledge
#

i think that last match put me in the double digits for games!

agile void
#

if anything I didnt expected the gap to be so large

#

when I played with other people here they were ritualists or alchemist, right now most of our ranks was seekers along with 2 high level people

#

at that point I would need to smurf just so the game doesnt put us all in weird mixes

finite patrol
#

better not to smurf valve will ban you

#

also enemy team also had a wacky mix of skill levels.

ivory reef
#

please don't ever smurf or encourage smurfing on pilot net

#

the reason the game puts you into weird mixes when you play with your newbie friends is because you are a weird mix when you play with your newbie friend

#

the game is just trying to match that

finite patrol
#

yeag

warped ridge
#

overall the match seemed fine, only thing that really stuck out to me was drifter but even that was manageable, as long as it's not a stunlock hero like bebop it would probably be fine

maiden ledge
#

he beat me up.....

#

really badly....

warped ridge
#

yeh, it's why I started roaming for picks myself cause I saw him start doing that

finite patrol
#

drifter & Holliday got very fed and we lost some early objectives then we couldn't control map or take walkers and got locked out of the game.

agile void
#

me and paige were able to defend ourselves but at that point when we took our guardian the other lanes were down and they werr already starting to chip the walker for damage

#

beyond actually winning lane we couldnt really stop the snowball from there

autumn field
#

anyone here still

warped ridge
#

I'm still up for playing games but they'll be cursed

Drifter is just that, but less fur

then its peak

feral umbra
#

Is there a solution to melee that isn’t skinner-box training yourself to parry on react

#

There isn’t any melee armor and bullet resist doesn’t effect it at all

autumn field
#

range, flying, etc

#

backdash

twilit roost
#

slowing bullets

autumn field
#

that too

feral umbra
#

But nothing passive really

#

Well nothing cheap I know juggernaut gives a little bit and so does crushing fists iirc

agile void
#

...........

#

what is this then?

#

Like dont get me wrong, I understand if you dont want to parry

#

but with rebuttal they can only get one heavy melee off safely, the next one they have to bait or trust you wont do it

#

beyond that literally get off their face or walljump/stay in the air, doesnt matter how hard the punches are if you can kite them

agile void
#

yeah there are pretty common tells to see if anyone punches

#

like for example in lane if bebop grabs you with hook but has no uppercut

#

they will always light melee you or heavy melee

#

predict that then fuck them over

feral umbra
#

I don’t really play enough to practice that timing so I’m bad at it and get baited a lot

#

If that’s the only real method that’s what I gotta do but I was hoping for something to help bandaid that shortfall while I learn to predict it better

somber creek
#

Audio cues mainly

agile void
#

mostly from heavy melees

#

which will be the most common melees unless you are ritualist or upper

astral lava
#

There's a parry dummy in the training area. You can practice as much as you want.

#

Also bullet armor reduces melee damage and theres multiple items that specifically reduce incoming melee damage.

feral umbra
agile void
# feral umbra I just got into Ritualistic actually

Shivs and others will be doing light melees when they can get away with it, they will be up in your face and they will be spamming melees because those are technically nonreactable and it will be up to chance if you manage to parry them

feral umbra
#

Yeah but you best shivs by building shielding and enchanter emblem and such things

#

Cheap spirit resist

agile void
magic summit
#

Point Blank, Torment Pulse and Juggernaut also give specifically melee resist

feral umbra
#

If bullet resist does have an effective should be buying battle armor more than I am, I’ll make adjustments

#

And I guess Rebuttal if I get stuck in lane against like Billy or Calico, or one of the other bruisers

feral umbra
#

Am I misremembering or has bullet resist always effected melee damage taken? I could have sworn that wasn’t the case before

rich grove
#

it is orange

#

I just haven't thought about it specifically

runic cedar
#

i just had a very infuriating game against a cheating beebop, they had scripted blocks and wallhacks (parried quick melees with no context)(hooked people across the map with no info on them) it was very frustrating

runic cedar
#

<@&1277035919182008330> early ping for early games

ivory reef
#

Like. If they're hacking why not hack their hitscan weapon

runic cedar
#

think so but still hitting a person behind a veil from two blocks away isnt exactly common practice

ivory reef
#

Maybe they're just good

#

Maybe it's an ambiguous situation but ultimately spending energy finding reasons to call your enemies hackers isn't very useful

runic cedar
#

hope so but still, wasnt a fun match

ivory reef
#

I understand that, but big picture I'd love it if people didn't show up to pnet and then rage about randoms kicking their ass in competitive queues

#

It's just not good social energy nor personal headspace strategy

runic cedar
#

thats fair

ivory reef
#

Wizard weren't you the one who rage quit in the middle of our dune spice wars game?

runic cedar
#

a long time ago yes

dont remember why but guessing i wasnt having the best time then

I can assure you nobody was cheating then. I suspect this is just part of a broader pattern

#

fun game, Abrams feels fun but i still need to get better at movement other than that great game

runic cedar
#

btw does anyone have tips to get better in the lane phase? i tend to struggle there and proceed to die between once to alot but i havent seen any change despite how cagey/agressive i play. is there any common pitfall i should avoid or is it just that dynamo tends to be """weaker""" in the lane phase?

feral umbra
#

Learn how to trade favorably is probably a good start; figure out just how much damage you can dish out without taking hits yourself , and then practice weaving in damage on opponents while farming

#

And securing your souls, always do that either with the gun or punching otherwise you’re just buffing your opponents soul gains

rich grove
#

you may also just not be buying defensive items enough in the lane depending on matchup

rich grove
#

and also yeah dynamo is unfortunately bulliable

runic cedar
#

yeah, for early lane on dynamo i tend to go for extra regen + enhanced speed as fast as possible so i can survive in lane without needing to run back to spawn as much

agile void
#

good players even say that as dynamo you will normally lose lane unless something is very wrong with your enemy lane

deathy's thumbnail game is annoying me

#

the thumbnail:

#

the description:

#

current match rank distribution? really??

#

the link:

#

...

#

like. okay. I get it. yes there's a burst at initiate 1

#

but really? really?

#

like tbh those are probably just accounts that got into deadlock and never played

#

anyway I probably shouldn't be posting stuff on pnet to get mad at but I'm not sure why there's so much "deadlock mmr is uniquely bad as mobas go" stuff floating around in the deadlock community

#

I suspect it's just that dota and lol predate the "sbmm bad" modern grift thing

twilit roost
#

New influx of players + experienced ones returning to the game with the big update all being jumbled together is mainly it

ivory reef
#

yeah it's not hard to explain

#

they're clearly just an anomaly not attached to the actual playing playerbase who are the curve

twilit roost
#

But people do have experience pre and post update and noticed a difference in more lop sided games and thats a fair thing to complain about. Game is in development its worth mentioning

#

Unrelated but did a big streamer just popularize veilwalker bebop been seeing it a lot more. It's pretty funny, just a robot running at mach 5 tagging you and then gone

rich grove
ivory reef
rich grove
#

there's a separate thing for no rank unless they just decided to pile everything into initiate 1

#

which would be dumb but sadly not out of the question

ivory reef
#

I don't see obscurus in this site's listings

#

my extremely boring occam's razor answer is that this is just a raw dump of a webapi and that all the obscurus accounts register as 0

#

like, deadlock doesn't even have multiple ranking systems so they can let people marinate in casual before deciding to 'commit' and play a bit before entering the 'real' curve

#

which is what most games do

#

this is just the total pile of players

#

that random bump at 0 is probably just inactive accounts

twilit roost
#

Yeah unfortunately the comp and casual playlists got combined because of the low player count before

warped ridge
#

Like game isn't released

#

So while I think it's odd my MMR isn't reset to placement ratings after a year, I get it

#

And in turn if I just go to bat for like 20 games it'll fix my mmr

Maybe continuing to be lost to the annals of time

rich grove
#

my zod schemas... its everywhere........ my validation....

warped ridge
#

Also isn't some of the API tracking broke

#

Like no websites track my recent games anymore

rich grove
#

statlocker has all my games but I think literally the very last one I played yesterday

#

then again if it's spotty it wouldn't surprise me

warped ridge
#

I will check it out

#

Ah yeah it has 1

#

It's also missing some

#

It does look like it's calculating from recent games only though

astral lava
#

there is definitely some weird stuff with the rankings like how heavily it cares about playing one character

tardy sundial
agile void
#

like, them being archon or phantom but they left the game a bunch of months, so they are stuck in alchemist or lower

#

and despite they keep winning they dont budge from that rank

#

also I think the complaints are coming up because the influx has been for weeks now, it should have been sorted out by now

#

in august 18 we had the big patch

#

by august 29 all the heroes were added

#

2 weeks later and the matchmaking still feels "off" for a lot of people

#

no idea if the hero rank is also exarcebating the problem or not, since if an ascendant goes to a new heroe they never played, they might queue with ritualists or lower

#

You can see how it just doesn't align with the curve at all

#

If it were a statistical phenomenon you'd get a curve leading up to a maxima at 0

#

Something like a blackbody curve

agile void
#

mmm, true

ivory reef
#

Like, why are 3% of players at 0 but less than 1% of players at 1

#

That doesn't make sense if they've shifting down naturally

#

It's just a pile of 0s + an actual graph

#

People just complain about mmr in every game they play constantly

agile void
#

my first assumption is that anyone that was around archon or phantom when the game had the invitations released just stopped played half a year or more

#

so they just couldnt rank decay anymore beyond initiate 1

ivory reef
#

Oh like there was a whole graph and they all fell to 0 and a whole new graph of people showed up?

agile void
#

but you do make a fair point that there should be a curve leading up to it

ivory reef
#

I feel like you'd see at least a bit of curve at 0

#

Deadlock never had a period where nobody was allowed to play

agile void
#

It actually had

#

before there were specific hours were you were allowed to play per region

ivory reef
#

It did? Like after people started playing last year?

warped ridge
#

For ranked? Didn't they do some weird queue stuff wit-yeah

agile void
#

then the devs made it available

ivory reef
#

That's not the same thing

#

I mean like locking everyone out for a year to prepare for beta

agile void
warped ridge
#

I thought that was only ranked

#

I can't remember been so long headempty
