i love computer

stable forum
#

oh right that other thing i really hate

#

Metal Skin

#

does not actually make you immune to bullets

#

it makes you immune to bullet damage from bullets

rich grove
#

you need plated for removing onhits

#

it's strange

stable forum
#

nono

my bad

rich grove
stable forum
#

Plating is only for Infernus & Toxic Bullets & similar 'buildup' effects

rich grove
#

defo stops haze

stable forum
#

and also haze (because screw her apparently)

rich grove
#

look its fine

stable forum
#

plating does not affect spirit damage on bullets

#

like wraith/vindicta

rich grove
#

we can take it- oh god mina lmfao

vivid nimbus
#

Yeah it blocks Mina

stable forum
#

i dunno how it interacts with mina

rich grove
#

i mean not that her love bites damage sans procs is that good

stable forum
#

because she's both a buildup thingy and an on-hit damage thingy

#

and every other source of on-hit damage is not stopped by plated

rich grove
#

freakish and unnatural

stable forum
#

it feels very dumb to have your character go 'bullets don't work on them!' while you kill them with a gun

vivid nimbus
#

Per wiki there's a bunch the on-hit blocks, but it's not universal

stable forum
#

i love inconsistent ruules

vivid nimbus
#

For items, the on-hit protection:
Blocks: richochet, siphon bullets, spirit shredder, spirit rend, backstabber, slowing bullets, toxic bullets, silencer, inhibitor, spiritual overflow, headshot booster, headhunter
Doesn't block: lucky shot*, tesla bullets, capacitor, mercurial magnum, cripping headshot, split shot*, escalating resilience, mystic shot, restorative shot, burst fire
*Deflectable tho

#

And then AP rounds gives a 50% chance for a shot to ignore it

warped ridge
#

don't think my build is good (we won) sadcowboy

stable forum
vivid nimbus
#

And lucky shot, tesla bullets, capacitor, and mercurial magnum are the items that do direct on-hit damage but aren't blocked

stable forum
rich grove
#

i'm assuming that this was in the roguelite mode

stable forum
#

yeaa, you still shouldn't take Express or Sharpshooter on Haze in Brawl >.>

#

I would take Any Spirit Item over them

rich grove
#

look if I have to think about this too much I'm going to rip my hair out

stable forum
#

fair!

rich grove
#

so I'm just going to assume they were the victim of the ogre magi this day

vivid nimbus
#

(You can also get freebies sometimes)

stable forum
#

it's hard to get worse than Express on Haze I think >.>

#

but, yeah, fair.

#

I just like buildcrafty stuffs >.>

warped ridge
#

Idk what the other two items were

#

I just saw yellow and clicked it

stable forum
rich grove
#

yeah but you're also not going to proc it ever

stable forum
#

it procs always now

warm sonnet
#

They've changed it's cooldown to fixed

stable forum
#

yeaa

rich grove
#

it what.

#

what.

warm sonnet
#

No more cooldown once you stop blarsting

stable forum
#

expressbrams is in fact back

vivid nimbus
#

I have issues playing Street Brawl because all my heroes in the main mode I've played heavily green/purp so IDK how gun builds work

doormans new face

He is!

he legit just looks like the Clueless

#

Just found out cult sac is in the street brawl pool XD

rich grove
#

YES LOL

#

I keep going 'ooh could be fun' and then realising all the creeps just disintegrate

warm sonnet
#

You's gotta be right quick

#

Early Mo gets the Krill

stable forum
#

everything is in the street brawl pool

rich grove
#

trophy collector is also in for some chungus fucking reason

stable forum
#

yes

#

it's so, so bad

vivid nimbus
warm sonnet
#

Upgraded Trophy collector sure is something

stable forum
#

I took Enhanced Trophy Collector exactly once on Warden

rich grove
#

cult sac at least is like oh yeah I can actually turn this on

stable forum
#

it was okay

rich grove
#

but trophy collector is

stable forum
#

i took it for range

warped ridge
warm sonnet
#

It was the range

rich grove
#

are they trying to just convince people that the item is ass

warped ridge
#

I'm only a ranked gold league player

rich grove
#

I mean I'm in full support of this idea

#

but like

warm sonnet
#

If you got enough kills to max out the Upgrade Cultist Sack, then it'd definitely be worth it

stable forum
#

i probably am more aware of buildcrafty stuffs than most people because I... make all of my own builds

warm sonnet
#

99 percent increase aoe

rich grove
#

i think the problem is that you just get like

rich grove
#

8 kills + assists across an entire game if you're lucky

warm sonnet
#

oh

stable forum
#

you'd just hit the 100% cap

warm sonnet
#

Aw

#

Poopy

stable forum
#

yes

rich grove
#

if you don't get it pack 1

#

then you're cooked

stable forum
#

make duration and range not scale 'multiplicatively negative' with eachother!

vivid nimbus
rich grove
#

god forbid you die early at any point

stable forum
#

let me get 200% duration

warm sonnet
#

The most useful part of it is honestly the regen

stable forum
#

...the out of combat regen?

rich grove
#

the souls :v)

stable forum
#

does that do anything??

#

i feel like out of combat regen is a fake stat

warm sonnet
#

When you lose a push but they can't counter it

stable forum
#

you can back in Brawl

warm sonnet
#

NEVER Okay sometimes

rich grove
#

you get a fast zip for free

#

thats money babey

stable forum
#

yep!

rich grove
#

i have unfortunately been forced to use the regen from forty dudes a couple times

#

which is

#

so fucking funny

stable forum
#

gah

rich grove
#

like it's just so pathetic now

stable forum
#

fortitude is so baaad

#

it's really bad

#

idk if it's quite the worst item in the game but like it's up there

rich grove
#

I was running around with 500 out of 2000 hp and going 'huh I swear I would've been full like five seconds ago...'

#

wrong stupid that was three patches ago

frail jasper
#

Fortitude in street brawl is an unappealing choice. It's fine in normal play.

stable forum
#

i can't immediately think of anything worse than it though

rich grove
#

they hit it with the rubber mallet so many times that I think they might have finally succeeded in making it not good

#

but ymmv

#

I definitely miss being able to have perma-uptime roaming around and butt-slamming people, but I also recognise it was perhaps a Little Distorting

vivid nimbus
#

Huh, fortitude regen has a longer timer than normal out of combat regen, didn't know that

frail jasper
#

The latest heal troopers do kind of make it less relevant, since you can just go hit two lane waves and get most of your hp back, but Fortitude does support roaming around more without needing to visit lanes or base

stable forum
#

much, much longer

#

out of combat regen is just 'are you sprinting y/n'

vivid nimbus
#

Oh but it from not taking damage

stable forum
#

yeah, it's a bit different, since you can be dealing damage

vivid nimbus
#

Which means pushing waves doesn't stop it unless you get aggro

stable forum
#

slowing bullets might be worse than Fortitude maybe???

rich grove
#

hey i remember picking it on haze like

#

three patches ago!

stable forum
#

cheat death is playable i think

rich grove
#

I've seen serious arguments for it on doorman and for a while it was +100% mental damage on vic

frail jasper
#

I still sometimes get slowing bullets if I know my gun is gonna be dogwater anyway.

rich grove
#

especially when people didn't know about stuff like crippling headshot

frail jasper
#

Depends on the target though.

warped ridge
#

doorman is based, it's splitgate but not by devs that are killing their game

stable forum
#

oof

vivid nimbus
#

Ah yeah I guess doorman has great peel so can get away in that 5s

rich grove
#

so victor would just have 2349028490248 hp, die the first time, cheat death, heal a fuckton cause your team was too stupid to kite, get downed a second time with premium ults, then rez

#

surely the play pattern ever

stable forum
#

this still happens

#

victor still does this late game

rich grove
merry verge
#

ability range on Doorman feels amazing

#

The world is yours

stable forum
#

the 'proper' answers I've seen to Victor are like
Vindicta (she does damage and he can't sit next to her)
and Focus Lens

rich grove
#

if you have the presence of mind to put a door down somewhere you probably have a completely uninteractable out to any chase

#

unless they really get your ass with chain silence/orchid/curse

vivid nimbus
#

Oh infinite rounds isn't just what it says on the tin, it's also got a better AP rounds effect, okay

merry verge
#

and you get the pleasant feeling of slamming the door in someones face

stable forum
#

several? of the legendary items are 'like x but better'

vivid nimbus
#

And also +200% bullet velocity

stable forum
#

for example, the ghost shot thing is actually secretly Inhibitor

rich grove
#

if you're like that you can also whip 180 and cart people through the door as they're chasing you

#

I got Omnicharge Signet on McGinnis when I already had the other two +charge items and it was silly

stable forum
#

heh

rich grove
#

which is also what the doctors told my parents when i caught jaundice as a one year old

stable forum
#

that's fantastic

#

okay weird esoteric knowledge time

vivid nimbus
#

No one needs +7 charges, +6 is fine

stable forum
#

you can get more than 8 slots in brawl

rich grove
#

do bonii not count as items for slots

frail jasper
#

since it's the topic of the moment, here's a compliation of all but 6 of the brawl-unique items

stable forum
#

it's really weird

rich grove

hysterical

stable forum
#

it's really weird

#

and i'm not sure it's intended???

rich grove
#

thank you boners

warm sonnet
#

who doesn't love boners, honestly?

stable forum
#

you can then sell the boner

#

and replace it with another item

#

it's literally just an extra slot it's kinda messed up

rich grove
#

wait what

#

it doesn't go away if you sell it????

?!?!??

omnicharge seems fine???

autumn field

most of these feel op as shit tho

vivid nimbus

It was really good on McGinnis, but alas we still lost

stable forum

it's weird but I don't know that it's actually better than

omnicharge on paige sword, go

haha holy shit that says 2s stun

stable forum

i'm not sure it's super good but like

vivid nimbus

I saw a streamer playing Lash get piano'd and it was hilarious

rich grove
#

lmfao

autumn field
#

i mean, +4 charges is a lot of them, which lets you do some crazy shit

stable forum
#

oh right there's also the

one which makes you immune to crowd control

even +2 on certain non-charges is really good

it just now occurred to me that the original risk of rain had an incredibly blatant aghs scepter reference in it

I got Kayn m7 day one and after that I didn't do shadow or rhast transform for like 2 weeks cause people didn't know how to fight him yet

had to make it easier for the people

Kinda hard with 3D environments though

So I'm satisfied with tunnels and portal-doors existing

I don't dote personally

They should add John Freeman

either scepter or shard could be pretty cool

Agh's scepter used to be Ult only afaik

#

dota aghs was soo good they made a sequel apparently???

rich grove
#

hey apparently you were right

#

that's partial credit baby

vivid nimbus
#

Ahh I found the source of the confusion. Agh's Scepter in Dota 1 is always an ult ability, Agh's Shard/Scepter/Blessing in Dota 2 varies per hero

rich grove
#

i genuinely do not know off handedly what makes shard and scepter different beyond muni

#

maybe just philosophical differences in "what is too big of a change for a shard"

stable forum
#

fairly confident

#

would've been uhhh
...7 years ago?

vivid nimbus
#

Some heroes get bonuses to multiple abilities, some get new abilities entirely

#

Amusingly, Clockwerk has one ability that's granted by shard and upgraded by scepter (jeptack), and one ability that's granted by scepter and upgraded by shard (overclocking) Belay that I just didn't know how Overclocking works

bleak thicket
#

shard is a smaller upgrade

#

sceptre is a bigger upgrade and takes a slot

#

blessing is sceptre but doesnt take a slot

frail jasper
#

that's correct. It originally was just scepter and upgrading your ult, but over the years shard was introduced and scepter upgrades changed. Depending on the character shard may be way more impactful than scepter.

twilit roost
#

my rank decayed to where I can't play supports, was about to tear my hair out playing paige. Next game had to go victor

#

and a goated ivy teammate

vivid nimbus
#

As in if you play support you feel like you can't trust your lane partner?

twilit roost
#

Or the team in general, just need to play carries for a bit until teammates get better.

frail jasper
#

Down in the low ranks, you can support your little heart out but you can't trust your team to not lose the game for you. It's nice when they don't but if you aren't carrying them yourself then your odds of one of them doing it for you aren't great.

mild flume
#

I guess skill shown depends a bit on rank, mine is dogshit lmao, but I know Mina is considered to be a pretty high skill cap character

warped ridge
#

oh I don't doubt she's high skill cap

#

she has double dash

#

a float

#

and some other stuff I'm not remembering

frail jasper
#

The float is super cheesy if your movement tech is real good.

warped ridge
#

it's okay I played PVP Tarkov, I can deal with it

frail jasper
#

Buy Superior Stamina and now you actually just never touch the ground

upbeat perch
#

ok booted deadlock up again

#

mercurial magnum on wraith is as funny as it had been last time i played

#

granted, last time i played it was a different item that grants the imbued skill cause instant reload

finite patrol
#

mercurial magnum still does that

#

or do you mean quicksilver reload?

upbeat perch
#

nvm, item i remembered is quicksilver reload

#

and is a component

finite patrol
#

yeah haha

mild flume
#

qsr is so good

finite patrol
#

I don't like playing gun without either qsr or active reload

mild flume
#

every time I just feel like I need to slide better

#

lmao

autumn field
#

I wonder which other Patrons there are

#

Also I love how Deadlock is like, possibly the most complete game ever despite being a “beta” / playtest

mild flume
#

lmao dota 2 was in beta for a comedic amount of time

#

though also valve so

vivid nimbus
#

Well, that was a game. Team had 3 deaths

#

Killstreaks across the whole top for most of it

#

Was kinda surreal

edgy fog
#

I have been trying to learn horned William

#

He's a but rough to learn

vivid nimbus
#

I hadn't tried him yet, but he looked pretty straightforward

edgy fog
#

It's my lack of skill too but part of it is that he needs to hit melee to increase his health and stay alive.

frail jasper
#

Gotta practice your quick melee mind games

edgy fog
#

Like, simple mechanic I'm having trouble pulling off in games yeah

frail jasper
#

Also the 2-1-3-1

#

Charge slam blasted slam. If you're in people's heads you can weave a light melee or two in there, but they can parry so you gotta bait the parry out before you start mercilessly bonking them

edgy fog
#

Thank you for the tips

#

Whacking time

frail jasper
#

The real tip: when you start a new game and get to lane, walk at them but DON'T MELEE. What you do is observe what their conditioning is regarding parries.

#

See if they do it early or try to wait it out, or if you can fake them into it. Then you use this to mindgame them all during lane

merry verge
#

Billy, Drifter, Abrams.. who else just activates peoples 'ohgodmelee' instincts, the walk 'em down works so often

warm sonnet
#

Calico

merry verge
#

Ohh, yeah yeah. I don't calico enough.. never sure what to do when the full combo gets tanked

final osprey
#

You do your combo and then leave pretty much

And once folks start taking that and the double-up i get lost

#

I think the new patron designs are sick, but I admit I’ll really miss the sphere guys. It was a really unique look

warm sonnet
#

Yeah

#

Keep some facets of the jar boys in the new design would have been neat

#

But I reckon the guardians and walkers will have their bespoke patrons look soon enough

warped ridge
#

I love brawl

#

means if I get griefing teammates who do it cause they're bad I don't have to be stuck with them for 40 min cause enemy team is too lazy to end

finite patrol
#

yeah brawl is great

warped ridge
#

I'd wish they'd remove the option traps tho

#

but tbf I think they exist cause they aren't actually option traps and more just good for hyper specific situations that require specific sets of characters

#

like that one item that gives you regen out of combat but takes like 12-14 seconds

#

or trophy collector

finite patrol
#

the game keeps trying to give me veilwalker lol

#

yeah it probably needs its own adjusted item set

warped ridge
#

Idk

finite patrol
#

but I think they wanted to get a quick play mode out there

#

so its a little undercooked

#

still fun

warped ridge
#

I feel like it probably shouldn't be adjusted because it gives better item experience for the maingame, but I also know they did it anyways by doing the weird brawl-only items

#

best part is it probably helps people learn how to approach teamfight situations better

#

won't save some people like the mina I just saw who kept trying to 1v4 and blow her escapes to engage

#

does suck tho cause like, if you get any of the new people with mega harass they can really dumpster the lane before you get much of a chance

#

But Idek what to do against that in normal lanes tbf

finite patrol
#

the cover in lane is pretty darn good. you can usually survive a bad lane for quite a while by playing defensive, using cover, and buying extra regen

stable forum
#

there are veils around, just a few less

#

Veilwalker also has good stats

finite patrol
#

its a lot worse than regular mode since one of the big benefits is for roaming

#

Definitely not as bad as trophy collector

twilit roost
#

Main thing for streetbrawl i want adjusted is the ults, shouldn't get them back every round

final osprey
#

Trophy is like 16% ability range with some health and movement if your in a very lethal game. It's also green investment which sometimes you need desperatly

#

Like it's not usually the best option, but I think for some characters it is useful

warped ridge
#

could also make death timers 1 min minimum instead of 20 seconds

#

supports pokers above all other types of characters because deaths mean relatively nothing

granite heath
warped ridge
#

good news I like brawl

#

bad news

#

I'm getting mmrd

#

and either fighting stacks

#

or being expected to play with people who don't wanna combo abilities

vestal hearth
#

Does Deadlock have headshots?

final osprey
#

yes, it also has items that improve headshots or proc off of them

vestal hearth
#

Oh...

#

I wanted to continue my streak of being better at sniping in MOBAs.

warped ridge
#

it has vindicta

final osprey
#

Infernus also gets his afterburn faster off of headshots

#

Vindicta has a sniper ult with multiple charges and doesnt require headshots

warped ridge
#

exactly

#

tf2 sniper

#

it's goated

vestal hearth
#

Yes, but I can't headshot for shit. But I've never aimed with mouse and keyboard, so I might be better.

final osprey
#

You don't need to hit headshots to do well. I do just fine and mostly hit body shots unless someone is stunned

#

Also some characters have much bigger heads than others. Like Seven has a real wide head, mo and krills heads both count and Mo's is pretty big

vestal hearth
#

I see.

warped ridge
#

dynamo can counter splitgate's ult with his own?

#

where's the report button?

#

nvm found it

#

hopefully devs mute chat abuse but we'll see

#

Idk why the devs think I have any clue how good items are

#

I just know trophy collector is bad

#

and that other item that gives you regen out of combat but takes like 12 seconds or w/e

final osprey
#

Fortitude is not that bad, you can use it so that you can use time you need to heal farming instead of in base.

another game against a team that does ult combos

God some of the new portraits are so good

#

Smug Ivy is potent

warped ridge
#

ahh my mmr is finally adjusted

#

getting more people being toxic in chat again

#

was wondering where it went

autumn field
# warped ridge

The thing is, if you go off vibes alone you’re probably decently correct

#

It’s sent to like, every player

#

And they can compare win rates and another stats internally

#

Players are horrifically good at telling if something is unbalanced, but horrifically bad at telling why

rich grove
#

they're not even good at the first thing

warped ridge
#

they're not

#

there's a couple of heroes that prob would get buffed or nerfed if players knew what was unbalanced

vivid nimbus
#

It's really funny when I was getting these in my first 5-10 hours and being like "I didn't even know that item existed"

frail jasper
#

The other survey question is worth mentioning: "how fun is it to play against X" which is just a vibe check. And if you're a responsible voter without strong opinion either way just pick 3, or skip if you really have no stance on the thing due to not knowing enough

warped ridge
#

I skip for the most part

#

the devs are absolutely horrible at onboarding insofar as wtf items are

#

I still have 0 clue what 99% of items do

#

all I know is it's green, purple, or orange

#

I can guess whether or not an item will be useful but most feel like a choice to trap new players when raw stats are just nice

merry verge
#

I think the only hero i really downvote is Gray Talon

warped ridge
#

considering he makes vindicta virtually pointless yeah

#

why would you play vindicta if you have someone that does what she does, better

#

of course the answer will always be "cause vindicta is cooler"

frail jasper
#

I can't really relate to that, I guess. Unhelpful to say that the items make sense after having already learned what they do.

warped ridge
vivid nimbus
#

IDK what Talon's 1-3 do, I just know bow and bird

warped ridge
#

and deadlock doesn't do things like mana or energy and has the aim stuff but the aim stuff feels intentionally obfuscated because it would feel weird if they did armor and headshot multipliers and recoil and yadayadayada

#

there's also the active item counterbuy which makes heroes feel scope crept which I feel is probably intentional but comes across really badly

vivid nimbus
#

Okay 1 and 2 are also bow

frail jasper
#

It's not armor but there's precedent for characters having different base stats (pocket has -15% spirit resist, seven takes less headshot damage multiplier).

warped ridge
#

right

#

that makes sense in the moba aspect

frail jasper
#

Active items are super good but

  • you (or your team) have to know to buy them
  • you have to know when to use them
  • cooldowns are long :(
    So they offer a way to counter certain heroes or situations but not 100% of the time. Curse beats anyone, but only for about 5 seconds and if you can't kill them in that time, well... or worse, they have and know how to use Counterspell which adds another layer of complexity because you have to bait their counterspell before using curse, etc

#

I can’t remember it, but like

frail jasper
#

Knockdown makes lots of enemies very sad (vindicta, Talon, seven, bebop, lash, the list goes on) but if those players are smart then they buy Debuff Remover which counters the knockdown

#

There IS back and forth counterplay but you won't always see it because people can be pretty bad and unaware in this game

autumn field
#

Something about complaining about balance between two functionally identical guns because the audio design was just too different and it resulted in different win rates

#

Which the players didn’t know was because of audio design

#

Devs made the audio punchier iirc and it fixed the issue

warped ridge
#

depends on the game

#

most fps games yeah no difference

#

but if you said tarkov I would be like "no the devs are wrong here"

#

but that's cause tarkov audio is super specific and kinda bs

frail jasper
#

Like if you're big crazy ult build Seven and don't want to get entirely stuffed by a 3200 cost item, you need to buy the items that make it so you don't get stuffed (debuff remover, unstoppable)

#

But then maybe the other team buys TWO knockdowns and staggered them to outplay your counter

warped ridge
#

yeah I think I'm just frustrated cause like

#

league or smite

#

heroes with longer ults usually have some form of CC on another ability so they get to actually use their ult

#

and in deadlock, usually if a character has an ult that's longer, Haze, Seven, etc, they have little hard CC ontop of being able to be countered by a cheap item buy

#

meanwhile other chars like Paige has hard cc, a knockup on her ult, and it's a fire and forget ult and it's like "rip me for trying to exist in lane"

#

Haze at least isn't like

#

Kallari Paragon bad

#

because Haze at least you can just completely ignore her god awful ult and just do dagger + punch + shoot

#

just feels weird cause it's like, lemme replace the ult with anything more useful, hell a steroid would be nice

frail jasper
#

I don't know league or smite, my familiarity is in dota. But I don't think i share many of these opinions because I see them used differently than I think you expect them to be used

warped ridge
#

how so?

#

The only way I've had success with haze ult recently is purely as a defensive tool because using it offensive means 2 enemies can stand close together and suddenly the dmg output gets reduced

#

early when I played deadlock her ult felt fine but that was still people just running away from it

vivid nimbus
#

Instead of having a 2 sec CC button

frail jasper
#

Haze ult is actually worse vs multiple enemies iirc, so I see it get used as a hyper gank tool. Cloak, run up on someone unsuspecting, dagger, ult, they die without chance to retaliate

warped ridge
#

see I use it

#

run up on someone

#

dagger

#

ult

#

they suddenly smash w/e escape they have

#

and freely get away cause I don't get to stick ontop of them

#

because dagger stun is canceled as soon as you deal more damage to them

#

so

vivid nimbus
#

Ah you mean like warp stone or w/e?

warped ridge
#

maybe, does it actually stick to them specifically or is it an aim item?

#

cause aim item means it's probably counterpick choice but feels gross with the exception it's at least cheap

vivid nimbus
#

Warp stone is an aimed teleport, the other green teleport item is hero-targeted

frail jasper
#

I don't have much specific to say to help with that.

  • pick more vulnerable targets
  • buy a silence tool like focus lens or silence wave, or even slowing hex if they're using movement tools/ spells to escape
warped ridge
#

yeah that's kinda my exact problem

frail jasper
#

Or if you yourself have warp stone you can use it mid ult to reposition and "chase" them

warped ridge
#

other chars don't have to do that because their ult is just dumbfire

#

older chars usually don't bother me as much but I'm seeing the usual scope-creep trend with newer heroes

#

like gray talon atleast has to stand in place while ulting

#

it's also annoying cause like

#

other microisms I'm just like "wow this is dumb"

#

like why can't I use certain abilities to just ignore walls and go through them

#

like sure I get it design wise but it feels clunky

#

honestly the active item choice is fine tho

#

does annoy me I have to be super granular about it and there's no central resource hub about these sorts of things

#

"this char has an escape, if you need to chase, consider buying these items"

#

but tbf I also get it cause game isn't out yet

#

and they might suddenly decide air dashing shouldn't exist or w/e

#

granted still need to figure out how non-active items work

#

and why I would take one and what it does

frail jasper
#

There could certainly be better readability on a lot of things. I think in terms of "this char has an escape, if you need to chase, consider buying these items" that's more just learning curve though: you get your ankles broken by something you didn't expect so you go figure out what punishes that thing and now you're better at the game

warped ridge
#

Sure....if it's obvious why you got your ankles broken

#

like if you get hit by an ability and you have an dodge, that should be plainly obvious

#

items aren't tho

#

well, I guess it is if you like

#

replay the situation

#

look at every item in the game

#

then decide an item might work, and somehow test it yourself (I don't think it's possible by yourself?) or go ask about it

#

that might just be what I'm missing

frail jasper
#

"Go figure out" does include just asking other people for advice though. Other people have had to learn the same things and you can talk to people or go watch videos or search discord channel history and do some sleuthing

#

You don't need to literally go memorize every item function and figure out how to anticipate everything

warped ridge
#

maybe not but it def feels like it, but again I'm comparing to like, league and smite where I had to do barely any research on anything past just standard build stuff, or jg pathing for jg

frail jasper
warped ridge
#

also I know the visual clutter is rly bad in teamfights which is unfortunate

#

took me like 20+ games recently to figure out what alchemic flask does

#

cause I thought it was an ability that kept hitting me

frail jasper
#

It's better than marvel rivals by leagues

warped ridge
#

def

frail jasper
#

I think it's fairly good overall

#

The clutter

#

Cuz everything is fairly distinct once you know what to associate it with

warped ridge
#

wait, how do you that?

#

is there a colorblind setting I'm missing

frail jasper
#

Are you color blind?

warped ridge
#

this game makes me feel like it but I don't think so

#

this does remind me I need to lookup movement guides and quit walking everywhere

#

I feel like there's like kbd tech in this game but I'm not using it

frail jasper
#

Well probably go figure that out at least. But I mean just like associating things over time. Like now you know what alchemist fire looks like and does, so you can recognize how to play around it

warped ridge
#

what's the vine thing that looks like alchemist flask?

frail jasper
warped ridge
#

I see it occasionally and I can't tell if it's a geist ability

frail jasper
warped ridge
#

wait only when it's max rank?

frail jasper
#

If it's Geist, yes. If it's not max rank then it only explodes, if it is max rank then it explodes and leaves a DOT circle for a while

warped ridge
#

Ahh

#

also does Gray Talon have a bird non-ult ability?

#

I think it's paige usually but I feel like he does

frail jasper
warped ridge
#

he has a trap snare wut

frail jasper
#

Paige's 1 throws a dragon which sprays a big rectangle of fire DOT

warped ridge
#

oh it's a dragon? I thought it was a birb

warm sonnet
#

It does have wings

#

People in the middle agedes did mistake many dragons for birds

frail jasper
#

I recommend going into the sandbox and just testing out each character, at least so you have a basic idea of what their spells do. You don't gotta memorize the details of each level but knowing the general idea just makes you aware of what you might be up against.

#

I don't expect you to go look at viscous and intuit the ridiculous Goovement Tech you can do with puddle punch, but just knowing it's a disjointed melee attack + push means you'll be less blindsided by that threat later

warped ridge
#

why is it disjointed? 😭

#

I'm trying to quit playing tarkov because I want to deal with less backend jank, not the same amount

frail jasper
#

Cuz this is a valve game, with dota style balance not league/ smite style balance. They play by Syndrome rules: if everything is OP and ridiculous, then nothing is OP and ridiculous

warped ridge
#

I would like that if all chars were actually OP

#

inb4 I find out vindicta is like, disabled

frail jasper
#

It's not a perfect arrangement but the idea is there

warped ridge
#

and not that she's just so awful no one plays her in my recent 40 or so games

frail jasper
#

IDK, you might just be surrounded by other matchmaking players that don't know how to use her well

warped ridge
#

you know I haven't seen calico either hmm

frail jasper
#

Quite literally a skill issue

warped ridge
#

I would have suspected the newbie mmr would have had someone playing vindicta though

frail jasper
#

If the new players play vindicta, you can usually see them walking around barefoot and dying without getting anything done

warped ridge
#

I wish I had bans

#

I want them to add bans

#

I need more variety

#

oop wait

#

one of my early matches had vindicta

#

game updated again, time to go next

#

I'm 52 matches behind

#

I'ma play vindicta

#

only issue if they add bans

#

Idk if I'd want to ban bebop, paige, or pocket

#

probably bebop or paige

#

I haven't run into any hyper sweats on pocket recently thank catgods

vivid nimbus
#

I think bans would get funky with how hero queuing works

somber creek
#

I need the patch notes I NEED to know if holiday isn't trash anymore

vivid nimbus
#

Especially with 6-stacks not worrying about repeats

warped ridge
frail jasper
#

There's already custom infrastructure for bans they use for tournament stuff i think. I would not be surprised if there was some matchmaking queue that had a ban phase later in development. The current priority queue matchmaking doesn't work well with bans though

warped ridge
#

inescapable mid tier at best

rich grove
#

yeah I suspect the cast just isn't big enough yet

frail jasper
#

Holiday isn't trash and hasn't been for a while, you still fly around bombing everything

somber creek
#

It's also because we aren't playing a finished game

rich grove
#

that too lol

somber creek
#

so they want to have people playing as many champs as possible

vivid nimbus
#

Also remember that unless you're at the top end, your own strength with a character matters more than the character's strength themselves

#

So you need to ask yourself, are YOU trash with Holliday

#

(If you do care about tier lists, they have her at mid, not trash)

warped ridge
#

Tech I play tarkov, of course I'm trash at this game

frail jasper
#

If you don't know how to air strafe, or don't know the bomb melee trick, you're gonna have a rough time with holiday

warped ridge
#

just because I go 9/1 and haze doesn't mean I'm good

#

it means the enemies are just more trash

vivid nimbus
#

Actually, is the air strafing like TF2 rocket jump air strafing?

frail jasper
#

Air strafing is one of those huge game changer personal skills that just makes everything better. All movement tech is like that

vivid nimbus
#

Because I'm rubbish at that but I do at least know the theory

frail jasper
#

Yes it is a source game so same concept

warped ridge
#

I hate jumping in this game

#

reverse of movement shooters

#

you jump you can no longer slide at lvl1

frail jasper
#

I don't understand what you mean

warped ridge
#

most movement shooters you can jump and then hold crouch to instantly slide when you contact the ground

#

in this game at level one if you jump you lose velocity or source units or w/e and can no longer slide upon hitting the ground

vivid nimbus
#

Also wow, Haze and Mina really are super popular, it's not just confirmation bias on my part

twilit roost
#

haze is the carry dream and mina is mina

vivid nimbus
#

74% pick rate for Haze, 66% for Mina (Current patch)

somber creek
#

Just had a haze that went 29/0 in our last match

frail jasper
somber creek
#

one of two people with kills that game on her team

warped ridge
frail jasper
#

I think there's a definition disconnect because what you describe as "slide" isn't clicking for me

warped ridge
#

slide, when you run for 2 seconds, and then hit crouch, and then your character slides, and you gain inf ammo

#

Is it called something else?

#

inf ammo crouch?

frail jasper
#

With base movement speed on a flat surface:

  • hold W
  • jump
  • hold CTRL
  • land
  • you shouldn't slide because you don't have enough velocity
    That is normal--
warped ridge
#

yes

#

that's my issue

#

in most movement shooters when you land you slide because you maintain velocity through the air

frail jasper
#

Oh so yeah I get it

#

Well

warped ridge
#

ye it's very jarring

#

but like I said this game is def moba first and shooter 3rd

frail jasper
#

Right so being able to slide is a property of movement speed. You have SPRINT SPEED (more than base speed) when out of combat, so it's possible to start moving fast enough to then slide. When you jump, you're affected by air resistance and LOSE SPEED

vivid nimbus
#

I think DL only counts horizontal speed for if you can slide

#

And it's easy to fall below the threshold while airborne

frail jasper
#

Yeah vertical speed isn't a factor for sliding

#

This ain't ultrakill

warped ridge
#

nah that's paladins

frail jasper
#

This ain't paladins

warped ridge
#

this is gr8

#

I want this more

frail jasper
#

Anyway based on this conversation there's just a whole lot of unfamiliarity with the game, the only solution i can offer at this time is telling you to go do your study and practice, watch videos or stuff to improve your fundamentals and just learn what is even in the game

warped ridge
#

Idk how I got 5

frail jasper
#

You got 5 by buying Rapid Recharge probably

warped ridge
#

Idk my game glitched and made me skip an item round 1

#

my build feels weak outside of spamming 1 cc

upbeat perch
#

ok yeah DL continues the trend of "izen likes to play the casual mode of a given moba way more than the main mode"

merry verge
#

What other games have better shooter mobility than this, hwat

#

Titanfall or like Vanquish maybe

vivid nimbus
#

I am uncertain on how casual a casual mode street brawl actually is

upbeat perch
#

league aram, smite arena, dota event modes, hots... aram...

#

or i guess "arcady modes"

warped ridge
#

....Tarkov I actually prefer the movement techs, it has worse mobility tho

upbeat perch
#

it's probably me more liking the skeleton of a moba but not the length and logistics of the "proper" mode

warped ridge
#

Paladins can be fun but it's more hero dependent

vivid nimbus
#

SB seems to really reward itemization knowledge, plus the strong characters in it are dominating RN

#

Dash jump and slide are so everything

#

#

warped ridge
#

my main issue is like

#

almost never having properly balanced teams

upbeat perch
#

something something closed beta pls understand joke writes itself

warped ridge
#

I get more games with enemies consistently comboing their ults where every time there's a possibility on my team to do it the person who should initiate never does or just never combos

#

I have not had a single game where a teammate dynamo has ulted for me when I'm playing seven in the past 40 or so games

#

infact

merry verge
warped ridge
#

I've had the enemy dynamo ult for me more than our own dynamo

merry verge
#

Getting no followup on an ult is infuriating

warped ridge
#

because he baits his team into MY ult

warped ridge
#

I think I'm just cursed

#

it's why I hate trio slop games like apex

#

cause I would always get some asshole toxic lifeline if I was queuing by myself

#

I had an easier time as a solo player and getting good picks or just harassing than I did queuing trios cause I didn't wanna deal with the non-stop nonsense I ran into

#

even if every once in awhile I ran into a streamer who wanted me to play with them

#

but tbf in apex I also like

#

wasn't trying super hard to w key like the streamers did

#

cause they just grind daily so I would be a little slower on looting even though I was better at actually playing

#

and then eventually apex movement techs happened, and they made the game terrible

merry verge
#

The people that do all the Apex 'techs' are just speedrunning carpal tunnel

warped ridge
#

I can't blame them

merry verge
#

I blame people wiggling at Deathboxes

#

Makes them look like a scared puppy

#

And like 0% harder to shoot

warped ridge
#

like, not for nothing but I've now seen streamers actually bleed from the stitching of their mousepad because they stream all the time and don't want to wear a gaming sleeve.

and I was like "huh, I guess streamers really don't wanna work normal jobs" and I get it

This is why i'm saying everyone could chill like 10%

Also reading the above chat you are right in that sliding only cares about your current speed and slope of the ground

autumn field
#

Ah

#

Yeah it’s almost certainly rem or silver though based on community

agile void
#

because once you realize that he only light melees up close, you kind of need to be far away of him to win since he needs someone to punch to get the extra health and ammo

#

also Im going to be honesy

#

I see people being fucking scared or not noticing there is a parry button

#

or see a team with Abrams/billy/viscous and they dont buy rebuttal first item

I like the look of Graves

#

but she doesn't seem too popular

rich grove
#

wrong im voting for graves

#

one gravillion dollars

edgy fog
#

graves and viktor lane

#

the ship name? Deadlock.

final osprey
#

I've already given her like 50 votes or something

#

In pretty sure that Graves is like last year's of American highschool or something?
Whilst Victor is closer in age to Mina who's graduated from the school graves is currently at iirc?
But I might be mixing up graves and Apollo lore

finite patrol
#

im at 28 votes for Graves

#

im gravesmaxxing (employed)

edgy fog
#

Wonderful

#

I am glad to see support for the gremlin

autumn field
#

% chance that Paige is feral over silver

merry verge
#

I've mostly seen her get all flirty with Viktor

autumn field
#

Yeah she’s kinda into all the hot guys tho lmao

warm sonnet
#

While she doesn't have any conversations with Mirage or Shiv, she has THE HOTS for Mirage

merry verge
#

I.. don't see enough people playing Mirage to have heard that lmao

warm sonnet
#

There's only one allied Mirage voice line that betrays her affections

#

But damn she is sad about killing the him

merry verge
#

Paige is the most CompHet through fiction of all characters ever

#

This is not biased based on Bookbat arts or anything

#

though do think it's most fun for her to go for all the like Classic Literature Archtype folks

merry verge
#

Video very much not working for me

#

So it's going extra unnoticed

stable forum
#

Lightning Scroll no longer has the 'does not work on charged abilities' clause

merry verge
#

Oh, terror

vivid nimbus
#

Was there anyone besides Vin who has a charged ult?

rich grove
#

I don't know what her state is now that Grillmaster got put in the ground but I don't know if I want "I buy rapid recharge and lightning scroll and then have hitscan kd that does 500" to be a play pattern

#

we'll see though

vivid nimbus
#

Conspiracy-theorizing: One of the new 6 has a charged ult and this made them look at the item again

autumn field
#

its rem!

warped ridge
#

Ye

twilit roost
warped ridge
#

I'm okay with this cause Rem was my 2nd choice

autumn field
#

vivid nimbus
#

Rem was my #4 choice but I can't be mad at such a cute little guy

autumn field
#

silver next then, i guess

bleak thicket
#

sorry guys, i cast 1 whole vote for rem
clearly im to blame for no graves

warped ridge
#

Who is the like

#

Cool looking guy who isnt apollo?

granite heath
#

Venator?

warped ridge
#

Yeah he seems cool

#

He might be my 3rd choice

#

After that Graves prob

winged terrace
#

REM

granite heath
#

I've been splitting my votes between Venator and Celeste, which I'm sure is bad for actual winning but has been fun nonetheless.

bleak thicket
#

those are such jenny abilities omg

autumn field
#

those are lovely

#

i like the whole support ting

magic summit
#

The helpers are interesting

twilit roost
#

I can confirm the helper gets you the bonus stats from the sinners sacrifice

#

you can get up to 4 so you might be able to run through enemy jungle and steal most of them

somber creek
#

Especially since he can use the vents

twilit roost
#

matchmaking broke fyi

warped ridge
#

they're trying to prevent people from voting already 🙄

upbeat perch
#

joke about voter suppression ensues

torn gulch
#

Oh, stupid little chungus rat won.

upbeat perch
#

vivid nimbus
#

agile void
#

THE REMLINGS CAN FARM SINNERS

upbeat perch
#

agile void
#

THEY CAN GET THE JACKPOT BONUS HIT

#

CREATURES

upbeat perch
#

i like creatures

vivid nimbus
#

Ah and pillow toss is the charge ability

agile void
#

pillow toss also lowers cooldown, doesnt it?

#

its a toss up between pillow or helpers you want to max out first

twilit roost
#

Not sure if its just because of testing range weirdness, but a trooper with on of rems minions will not die to tower

vivid nimbus
bleak thicket
#

i think they broke something

upbeat perch
#

inb4 paige still has the new hero tag

bleak thicket
#

why is billy red tho???

finite patrol
#

deselect paige and select viscous to check

#

banned for being mean to rem

bleak thicket
#

it now lets me select with just these 3???

#

but billy and rem are still red

bleak thicket
#

oh so red is just they disabled him

#

and billy got disabled too cause something else probably broke

#

oh billy chaining someone with a rem attached maybe broke the game real bad?

short quiver
#

Rem's backstory

bleak thicket
#

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

torn gulch
#

They took my goat too...disastrous

bleak thicket
#

billy finally cancelled for his twitter posts

vivid nimbus
#

Billy being investigated by the FBI

edgy fog
#

torn gulch
#

Is queue broke rn?

edgy fog
#

certainly is for me

torn gulch
#

goes to like, 3 or 5 minutes, didn't check exactly, and throws me out

edgy fog
#

Also, the helpers will flawlessly do a sinner's machine for you. Plus hitting the jackpot. So. Powerful.

torn gulch
#

And I can notice that hideout is like, laggy

mild flume
#

The forgotten new char haha

edgy fog
#

I played a fun game as Paige a while back and I just kept a paradox alive and murdering everyone

#

I even said "Go my Paradox" in chat and they hearted me

vivid nimbus
#

Which makes it great for stealing enemy team sinners, especially doubles

#

(You can also target doubles through the skylights)

edgy fog
#

Yeah! Rem's going to be a bane of any roaming junglers

#

imagine you're got damn drifter and you're being toyed with by a little imp skittering around the place running through the walls

torn gulch
#

Can she throw empty bottles at me

edgy fog
#

Deffo got Cutie'd to the forefront

He's going to be like Doorman

edgy fog
