maybe the real Mo & Krill was the government spook we met along the way

#

the main issue with this build

#

is that I strafe too fucking fast

#

and beef my knives because I have crossed a city block holding the A key too long

heh

#

I think in general, the Limit Testing Haze build thing is very hard to execute

#

enduring speed fleetfoot invis with any amount of spirit investment is prime benny hill bit fodder

finite patrol
#

doesn't tribute also give u move speed

rich grove
#

you really shouldn't pop that in smoke because it damages you

#

so you get the spy decloak effect and you're also losing 15hps

#

my fault it gives you 40hps loss

#

oopsie

#

good ass item though

#

combined with the early t3 smoke you get to basically have a manta dodge with a 7s cd and it's fucking incredible

#

absolutely shat on this lash

#

0 dabloons counterspell with a 7s cd between charges that is also three copies of sprint boots is, in fact, good

rich grove
#

under those circumstances it's generally pretty easy to get a bunch of kp and pick people

#

i would probably just play the standard chrome/renon etc m1 build if I was serious about consistent results, but I am dogshit and I play in pooplo

#

so who cares

#

...I remember one time on Haze I got to dodge a Lash's Dive Strike with Smoke Bomb and ult him for his crimes

rich grove
#

yeah lol

#

it's so fucking fun

#

that sort of dodge -> murder is fantastic, yes

you feel like an absolute god when you manta someone's cd and uno reverse them

guys I've noticed that sometimes when I quickbuy items with imbues from a guide, it automatically knows what option to imbue to

#

I'm not sure what the logic is

#

when I quickbuy compress cooldown on yamato it just automatically puts it on my ultimate. is this something to do with the build customization?

feral umbra
#

Yeah if you want to swap it you’ll have to edit the build

#

It it’s something you can set when the build is written up

#

Holy new meta batman

finite patrol
#

you have to stand beside the creeps now????

agile void
#
  • Trooper bounty mechanics have been reworked. The first half of the souls still fly out as deniable orb, however rather than the other half being instantly given to nearby players it will fall to the ground as an orb that you need to get near to pick up. It has a 18m capture radius where it'll travel to you once you get within. Only one player needs to claim it, share rules remain the same as before.

  • They last for 18s on the ground. Duration increases by 2s per minute up to 40s after 10 minutes.

  • Enemy orbs are visible as faint colorless soul orbs to your team, but cannot be claimed.

  • Amount of souls in the flying orb that can be secured/denied reduced from 50% to 40%

  • Very small tweaks to the secure/deny lag calculation to improve it

  • Increased trooper range to be considered in range for souls to drop from 35m to 45m

  • Medic troopers no longer have a passive healing pulse ability

#

So you can genuinely now just

#

fully deny someone from souls

#

wtf

The floor souls you can't steal

ivory reef

hoyl fuck

#

and they cant pick it up

do not think wraith needed buffs lol

agile void
#

her laning was kind of weak

#

And I dont think she was picked much in DFN

finite patrol
#

that's true

rich grove
#

the thing with two swaps is that you go back to where you started and usually you are trying to be very far away from that

agile void
#

it opens up more mindgames to be honest

#

pocket is already hard to pin down with one tp, imagine if they could do it twice

the typical play pattern for clone I keep seeing is that you cast it near a fart pad or something, fuck off five hundred meters away, do a silly push then teleport

  • Neutrals bounty increased by 5%
  • Warden: Bullet damage growth per boon reduced from 0.53 to 0.47
  • Drifter: Base health reduced from 750 to 675
#

Dude wtf I dont think drifter deserved that loss of health

merry verge
#

Yeah he's kind of not felt great to play since the falloff changes and this won't help

astral lava
#

didnt his falloff increase?

#

er. The range got longer

merry verge
#

Not that.. I'm aware of? It was made worse, they kept hitting his scaling, made teleport slower/harder to hit..

#

Just a very 'you are incapable of your actual function until you hit 30k souls' feeling kinda guy

#

Which is problematic for someone who obstensibly wants to be Stacking 1v1s

#

Like I don't think he's -awful- it just.. feels bad? To play? I guess. That at everyone knowing to just not split up, like he's an Innate Struggler

#

the health decrease seems unwarranted atm

merry verge
#

He's already one of the lowest HP-Per-Boon folks

and his early game truly sucks

So this is like ????

#

I'd say Mina gets to have her infinite stacking ultimate but they also broke her legs this patch so perhaps not

finite patrol
#

Mina fucking kills your ass in lane though

#

not sure if it's different with the spirit/gun shift but she was always a strong laner

merry verge
#

Oh absolutely, she's got like a better baseline kit

#

That passive is brutal

finite patrol
#

meanwhile drifter feels like he's countered by looking at him lmao

merry verge
#

"Oh he's so strong if he gets fed" alright so does most of the cast

#

And they can get there in relative safety

#

Like the best he's got in lane is a cheeky teleport and then he's stuck where he went

#

Feel like a Drifter hasn't been That Guy in game since week 2

twilit roost
#

I think making it so his ult makes people count as isolated is what he needs

merry verge

With a new balance patch comes (somewhat) new pick / ban priority.

Same? Shiv, Infernus, Paradox. Except Paradox was never first picked or banned, but still a fixture - just lower priority.

Biggest winner? Drifter. Not just a terror in pubs post buffs, but strong enough with the 4.8k / early regen to be a real threat in the early to mid game a...

#

Shivs presence in meta is just like his playstyle

#

you thinknhe is low but suddenly he bloodlets it and executes you

astral lava
#

shiv may as well be permapicked given his ult is "reduce someone's max hp by 20%"

agile void
#

drifter got a surprising jump

#

some dynamo picks but I will be surprised if the stomp changes actually allows him to be ok

astral lava
#

stomp changes + people having to expose themselves more is really good for his laning

agile void
#

yeeeeaaaahhhh ignoring the fact that all cooldown related items were nerfed so now everything in his kit is just longer unavailablr

#

so now blackhole got functionally 20+ seconds of cooldown lategame among others

astral lava
#

late game was never his problem. his ultimate is still his ultimate

agile void
#

I just think that something else must be given to make him more consistent

#

as Stomp is his main source of damage in lane, gun can chunk but its not that threatening

merry verge
#

Infernus still getting away with crimes

#

As they shoot Mina in the knees

agile void
#

also that

astral lava
#

its so funny that they gave infernus the tiniest nerf and then also made everyone be forced to be in cover less

agile void
#

I dont know why they dont make it so shooting doesnt fully reset the cooldown of afterburn and its just additive

astral lava
#

god willing he just gets a mini rework next month

merry verge
#

It really just is unfun to fight

final osprey
#

Infernus is annoying but at least you can buy Debuff remover. Billy just gets so much HP that any fight with him is a massive slog

merry verge
#

Yeah Billy kind of feels like Mo and Krill but they also kill you

agile void
#

dont you need antiheal against him?

final osprey
#

The thing about that is, Mo and Krill cant farm that efficiently to my knowledge so they often end up with less health than Billy

#

or whatever is the name of that cat in League that basically makes it into a 5v3 and one super souped up dude

vivid nimbus
#

That's Yuumi

#

Seems actually less annoying to fight than Yuumi tho

agile void
#

Is Yuumi good? thought that technically losing one persons worth of Map presence was bad

vivid nimbus
#

She was really good and then got nerfed/reworked

#

In low level play she was bad because it's a trap to stick on your partner 24/7

#

But you can just hop off and do things

#

The thing is that (pre-rework) when lane phase ends, she could leave her botlaner and stick on the most fed or highest-synergy character on the team

#

So you'd have the tanky frontline champ running at you with Yuumi giving them:

  • A heal/speed boost
  • A steerable poke skill-shot w/ a slow
  • An AOE ult that can root you
    Which is a nightmare if said tanky frontline is fed
#

Post-rework, the heal got replaced with a shield, and some of her overall power got shifted into a "Best Friend" mechanic where Yuumi gets enhanced skills when attached to whoever Yuumi's spent the most time attached to (so usually her lane partner)

#

And in both versions, Yuumi just can't be killed until whoever she's attached to dies first

finite patrol
#

that thing has big honk mimimimi energy

vivid nimbus
#

Oh also Yuumi's voice-lines are very cutesy and many people hate listening to them

that is the point

vivid nimbus
#

Oh that's not that Yuumi, that's closer to how Lillia works

agile void
#

now that I think about it

#

besides Haze

#

this would be the second char that can sleep people

#

wonder if its sleep counts as Hazes sleep

vivid nimbus
#

This is the short version of Lillia's R (since I doubt everyone cares about specific numbers), and Dream Dust is a DoT applied by her damaging spells

vivid nimbus
agile void
#

yeah but so far haze is the only one applying it

#

compared to everyone that can stun, or paige/Warden which I think are the only people that can properly "root"

Me and ash we were talking about tri lanes yesterday

Cause the new heal does support it really well

If the enemy team is tri laning why not just. Have one of your guys go to the tri lane

...unless 1 person healing from healing troopers is actually higher than 2 person healing
i think this just gets you obliterated??

Guardians aren't very real.

Don't you just... eat poke and die?? Infernus dash cooldown isn't like, fast enough to be 1/wave, right?

agile void
#

so one healing trooper is arguably a healing rite every 20 or 30 seconds

stable forum
#

...?

like, the total amount of healing is the same regardless of the number of people being healed, or?

agile void
#

yes

#

that is why it is possible, leave your hypercarry to soak everything by themselves, and they can be "safe" to get leveled up

finite patrol
#

I think op was kinda low skill level dauntless

#

this definitely seems like the kind of thing that could get hard punished

#

I do think a 3v2 mid is interesting though because mid is so barren that you could really push the advantage there

agile void
#

I mean that is the point, its an option

#

Also with now Guardians having backdoor protection + diminishing defenses

#

so long you can clear wave fast (also buying monster round first item)

#

just stay in tower and eliminate the minions the moment they get close

#

they can still dive you, but it wont be a free kill

I wish scarabs usage mode was different. I like the effect but I hate throwing those things

I just find I get closer to 50/50 gun and mark damage

I have seen qsr on 1 and 3

mild flume

but I build a bit more gun

rich grove

so in my case

mild flume

I usually qsr 3

#

though it is a bit awkward

rich grove
#

the entire team would just hard stack

#

past minute 25

#

so I bought rico and then just got giant procs of djinns mark

#

cause the rico bullets do basically nothing but sup cd djinns mark hitting x16 over and over does a lot

mild flume
#

yeah

rich grove
#

your avg damage profile may vary

#

I also got in the habit of just waiting people out and exclusively poking with tapfire cause I knew I would oneshot them when they got greedy

again ymmv

mild flume

makes sense

#

I never quite got these promised oneshots

#

I could get like I dunno 1k spikes or something

#

but never quite the oneshot

i only strictly oneshot the super squishies like vindicta

but even if you can't you can generally make them 1 and from there continue clicking them

or just let toxic bullets do its thing

- Getting shot now slows your move speed by 10% for 0.7s
Based, it was so easy to escape a lot of situations

#

of course we'll see if it's too much

#

cause this gives any of the more free chase characters like lash a buff

somber creek
#

Means Yamato is buffed too

warped ridge
#

of the two Yamato would need the buffs more

#

but tbf I also think her kit was turning kinda power crept-y

#

and this is all based on last time I played so maybe she got ultra buffs with the souls reworks

somber creek
#

She did, she went to being one of the higher wr champs

finite patrol
#

neat!

warped ridge
#

oh then might be too much of a buff

#

last thing I want is any champ I would play to become another riven

#

ultimately hitstop wouldn't be toooo crazy if that's how they want to nerf movement

#

just

#

they shouldn't do what apex devs did

#

and nerf movement by removing as much easy access movement tech as possible and then failing to remove the weird mechanical input movement tech

#

bhops too op but portalglide supermantles ok cause they require micro inputs on HE keyboards

somber creek
#

I am not a huge fan of Source Shmoovement

merry verge
#

I get a little eye-roll-y at a lot of bunnyhop motion trick nonsense

#

Mostly because it ends up making everyone look Very Stupid

#

Not everything is Vanquish

warped ridge
#

personally bf6 is like, as much as I'd like

#

which is just slide into jump into a bhop and then you lose all momentum

#

apex bhop sliding wasn't too egregious to me cause if you just aimed good enough they couldn't bhop slide away easily

#

but that was more just the start of the goofy movement tech

merry verge
#

Yeaah all that's fine, just when things basically like overtake Walking as the primary

#

Titanfall was fine cause that's sort of the name of the game

warped ridge
#

yeah exactly, when people started doing the non-stop wall kicks I was like "bruh plz"

#

but that's what cod 7 is doing

rich grove
#

this sounds like a shrimp problem

merry verge
#

Watching streamers is such a bummer when it gets egregious

warped ridge
#

in deadlock it's mainly me seeing like mina or pocket just get away super easily and I'm like "yeah this makes sense" because while IMO it doesn't take much skill, it's part of the character kits

merry verge
#

And gahd they were frustrating in Apex

#

Yeahyeah Deadlock is doing it right

rich grove
#

i will note bullet slow stopped none of the weird looking stuff in apex you're complaining about

#

as far as I can remember bullet slow was around since day 0 and wallbounces, tapstrafe, superglide, zipline humping etc have all been in for the exact same period of time

warped ridge
#

it prevented some of the early easy-access tech because it killed momentum, which while I was like w/e about, the stuff I mainly didn't like was the more goofy stuff that could just freely re-gain the lost momentum which made hitstop pointless

#

so it was more like "ok I see that you got this to prevent just dodging things.....wait why aren't you doing anything about the rest of it respawn?"

agile void
#

News

rich grove
#

it mostly makes AD wiggling worse which is fine in its own way but doesn't meaningfully stop most of the jank-looking tech

agile void
#

Infernus found dead in a ditch

warped ridge
#

AD wiggling has it's own weird issue that's indirectly tied to weapon balancing cause to this day I still wouldn't be surprised if the wingman wasn't nerfed from it's A-tier minimum clicking status

#

pistols have faster movement speed when ADS cool...but wingman has always been a pocket DMR so it's basically a DMR but with pistol ADS movement speed 😭

#

that and like, toxic randoms made me just give up on apex entirely cause I was like "most people aren't gonna abuse the crazy movement tech so I could reasonably grind to higher ranks....but I can't rely on randoms to play aggro so I'm throwing by not insta-locking lifeline every match"

merry verge
#

But yeah this hitstop doesn't sound like a gamebreaker

warped ridge
#

solo meta gibby was fun while it lasted

merry verge
#

I'm also just kind of astonished Infernus didn't work like this from the start

warped ridge
#

So far the only parts about deadlock that have had me concerned seemed more to stim from like, randoms being randoms about MMR and no direct jg role

merry verge
#

I'm kind of fine with no junglers

rich grove
#

I don't like it philosophically because I don't think m1 needs to be easier

warped ridge
#

but the yamato otp basically said it best "why would I not take all the kills and souls where I know I perform at a specific level and leave it in the hands of randoms that I don't know how they'll perform"

rich grove
#

at best it seems like a really marginal change to how easy a gunfight is

#

at worst you get clipped randomly from 500m and your pathing is bork

warped ridge
#

I'm def curious cause my guess it might be a small step approach to not having to require gold kovaak's aim to m1

#

but Idk if it's that big of a deal cause it's agreed most people can hit gold kovaak aim with like, 30 hours tops of aimtraining

merry verge
#

I will say the Fortified change for Apex was very noticable but 10% isnt such a hit

rich grove
#

I am sub-quartile 1 in every aim trainer I have played and I can still be mostly effective in this game

#

also so many gun carries buy The Kid Named Slowing Hex anyway

#

or Slowing Bullets

merry verge
#

I will throw myself into the sun before i download an aim trainer..

#

30 hours.. villainous

warped ridge
#

ye, like at the end of the day, MMR will just adjust people to w/e rank so unless your solo queuing I doubt you'll need kovaak's aim unless you're trying to break through an elo wall

rich grove
#

also: if you play the aim character and you cannot do the one thing asked of you by that description
tough shit idk this game is not wanting for alt playstyles

now that barrels don't have 0.8s knockup by default I almost want to sympathize but before that nah

warped ridge

barrels?

did they nerf lash's knockup by making it so now he doesn't get it for free?

wait no I'm dumb

for some reason my brain was like "oh yeah lash has barrels i forgot about that"

50%, 75%, 87.5%, 93.8%, 96.9%, and 98.4%

or full defense

#

because, if its the latter

rich grove
#

I kind of assumed it would be 50%

#

er

agile void
#

BRS, Mystic vuln

#

you can shave off some of that defense

#

still I prefer a proper fight rather than just a stat check

#

it should probably be 3 or more for the full res but making it so you HAVE to interact with the enemy and not just rush base its pretty good

bleak thicket
#

I'm sure they'll tweak it if it's too good on defence

#

They nerfed speed so much they unnerfed wall jumps

oh yeah, tried a match with lash and went like 4/10/9

#

I honestly expected worse

#

lash is intuitive to play but doesnt change if you are not accostumed to play as him or know the intricacies of his ult

final osprey
#

The patron shield makes ending the game really annoying

#

like I get why it's a thing but let me just end the match]

#

Just had a match that went on like 15 minutes longer than it shouldve because of the Patron changes.

agile void
#

you couldnt kill everyone?

#

or you guys not remembering the patch happened?

final osprey
#

They could consistentally rotate people in and out of base. Which made the patron health last longer, and theirs.
It is partially a skill issue of just not winning the fights

But the way they were winning the fights at patron, they couldnt then use that advantage to push us. Which means that we just had to do the same team fight like 3 times until it stuck

agile void
#

Yeah I dont blame you if it was annoying

#

I do think its a good call, but it should probably be with more people to make it fully invulnerable

#

3 or more

I was theorizing about this in a VC and got told nah it'd never happen

I genuinely thought

#

BLUE was the patron stall team

and was like yeah obviously geist swap goobert victor paige

.akes sense

#

no

agile void

#

I honestly only know which team I am on based on if my patron is sending every line like a demon or if there's just a kinda grumpy yet chill dude reminding me to kill my enemies

#

MIIIIINAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAA RIIISE UP AND TAKE WHAT YOU DESEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRVVVVVE

#

what I'm saying is that I was also very confused about what was happening until the 3rd time I rewatched the video

this just looks like bad play >.>

Victor is alone in the pit for a good ten seconds

bleak thicket
#

I do love the change itself
Not sure 2 defenders is the right number, but we'll see
The biggest thing for me is, it gives some sense of agency for situations when, you're all respawning, the enemy team is pushing
And before what happened is, you went into the pit, the haze ignores everyone, and there basically nothing you couldve done since she melts the patron in 5 seconds, why even leave fountain
Now theyre gonna be force to interact with you more

#

Even if that means, the haze looks at your team, wipes everyone again, then deletes the patron
Would already be a big improvement imo

well that was a stupid match

the one thing I found funny is drifter teabagging me at the end because he managed to kill me and I was like

"dude, you are the reason Im fed and your team lost"

there is something funny in melee being the highest damage by far

7 number one most likely champ to say them

agile void

haze is more likely

I don't think 7 gafs enough about any given minority enough to say slurs about them.

Gheist is most likely

agile void
#

geist is a clasist, not a racist

vivid nimbus

Seven gives so little of a shit he doesn't know which words are slurs and which are the terms normal people use

agile void

he would probably say ginger and make it a slur somehow with his hate towards kelvin

7 wants to ascend to godhood. He's a very evil magician.
They got all the worlds best magicians to try and lock him up but he went "nah I'd win", and then he did. THen he made his way to New York City for a craaaaaaazy adventure

he also lives in the sewers, and despite expecting to become a god from the ritual still plans to continue living in the sewer

"As we know the Antarctic is one of the most isolated places on the planet and so the quality of your cohabitants becomes abundantly clear rather quickly—this is something that’s been explored in popular media time and time again. There has been other, shall we say, shenanigans on the continent. This includes a mysterious, maybe self-inflicted poisoning; A doctor burning down his research station as a way to avoid the winter; A disagreement that escalated into a hammer fight in 1996; A person becoming so violent they had to be locked in a storage locker for months.

It’s almost like extreme isolation and darkness is bad for a person’s psyche."

#

oh my god this could be the funnier thing if they just put all these events and say its kelvin and seven doing it

they are already being kind of anachronistic with people like Billy existing

like he drifts a good 5+ meters during ult casts and I can't replicate that. Is it something which got changed??

ah

it's a 'touched zipline' thing

that's... reallly weird

well

#

not any weirder than regular zipline physics honestly

#

isn't it just a consequence of the well-known "crouch off the zipline to disable air friction" thing

if you know how to time it

the distance difference from touched zipline versus without is super huge

ew

#

gross challenge

#

yeah your best bet is to only play the char and to just goof around for a bit until you hit 10 losses

#

if you win won of those 10 nice but after the 10 that should hopefully pull your mmr down enough to make winning more easy

#

or just try winning with non meta build

agile void
#

i have

warped ridge
#

then after 10 losses swap back to meta build

agile void
#

8 matches

#

all loses

warped ridge
#

yeah but you played other chars and won

#

so it goobered the MMR back up

#

it's why I think challenges based upon winning are dumb
