- throw plutonium pillow
- yuumi league of legends

Run around the map via mini tunnels and then hoovers up resources from your opponents
And then in teamfights, yeah, throws pillows full of bricks, jumps on people to heal them a ton, and channel a big sleep towards anyone he looks at, even through walls

Can also make minions fucking impossible to kill in lane
Basically giving you a free push to tower

TBF, Yuumi League of Legens is a warcrime because while she's hiding in someone and untargetable she's throwing that homing arrow and her ult at you, and she never has to leave until her host dies

As long as they keep his lore, Catherine the great is back as a ghost
Led by the specter of Catherine the Great, the Soviet Empire has flourished in a brave new world of mysticism. But while her deeper motivations are often obfuscated from the world stage, one thing is for certain: she hates being a ghost. To this end she has tasked The Empire’s spymaster with one goal: find a way to make her corporeal once more.
Relentless in pursuit of his task; the operative known only as "The Raven" has scoured the Earth looking for strange artifacts, apocryphal writings, and wisdom of the life beyond. Now in New York, Raven looks to find a way to tether Catherine’s spirit to the mortal coil.

It’d be fun to build him as a “cannot be stopped EVER” tank

Ok fair enough
frail jasper
Spirit power, charges, spirit lifesteal, ability range. Fight people, run at them with your 3 on, etc

And I like spirit resil a LOT on Victor
Since you’re always running at 50% HP to 25% for optimal efficiency, you get a ton out of it

They've nerfed debuff resist stacking only more and more over time

you really dont want to debuff your own healing even if its toggleable
a lot of survivability is lost from spirit lifesteal and it fundamentally doesnt work very well with infuser

Pub stomper but also can feel literally worthless while behind
I feel like Victor's incredibly good at recovering from behind, actually, as long as you can get to Escalating Exposure. Can't cover for a whole team that's behind, but as long as at least one or two other people on your team are doing well, you generally have the space you need
but yeah absolutely terrible build variety

my experience with him is that his robbery potential is pretty insane

Sometimes the a single item can turn a whole Street Brawl around
for me, just now
it was hitting people with a god damn piano
Rem ult, piano, throw pillow, refresher, rem ult

also early gundox means her Kinetic Carbine shots hit like a train
which is good because Kinetic Carbine is easy to land consistently as a laning poke that converts into even more damage after you land it, either via her 1, just clicking heads with 5-round burst, or with a 2+4 into your tower and hey that's a free melee hit
kinetic carbine lets you put the boots to em medium style, 0.4sec time stop is enough time to make someone very very dead if they're already out of position

But yeah he's strong
it's just all ability
frail jasper
Final answer:
You land 5 pillows
Cooldown finishes at 95 seconds
You shave off 25 secondsThis factors in the 18 seconds cooldown per pillow thrust with no charges
Some weeks ago I had someone do the math for how much time pillows shave off of Naptime's cooldown (assuming no items or other upgrades)

you could totally justify Troubadour as a hero
somber creek
I think you can justify it but its also just lame
Because holiday's entire motivation is solving the mystery of who the troubadour is
If hes just a guy who shows up and says hi and we know who he is you just delete a character's wish
Its like having a guy show up and be like "Yeah I killed Grey Talon's son."
vast sandal
She knows who the Troubadour is and followed him to New York
she just didn't catch him
vast sandal
her lore tab says she directly confronted him
Once a sheriff content with the small-town life, this would all change when a travelling musician known simply as "The Troubadour" began a gruesome killing spree; but when she tracked down and confronted him, he managed to flee. Intending to track him down, Holliday spent six months investigating and deduced that the killer's next target was New York. She's going to kill that evil son of a bitch.
Yeah, that doesnt solve the mystery of who he is
Even Drifter doesn't know who he is
magic summit
Does anyone have voicelines indicating that identity is the issue there
final osprey
Haze and Seven say "I'll give you 16 hours, then I'm coming to kill you"
According to the deadlock wiki, there's a line at the end of Holidays Visual Novel thats in dev about the OSIC wanting to recruit the Troubador. So Haze might not even kill him.
somber creek
That was Haze and Seven
final osprey
ahhh I got confused
somber creek
But like, the difference there is that its just two people killing each other on business
Not "my wish is to kill you specifically"
If the Troubadour shows up Holiday has no reason to join the ritual

he's the prince of north ixia, which is the part thats not an american state, which would make him royalty

idk different system i guess
vivid nimbus

magic summit
There are a few lines directly referring to him as royalty
And another line where he says the word for the title of his dad doesn't translate to english

it's NOT "warlord" according to him (but it definitely is warlord according to graves)

So he is in fact royalty
Also I think Haze says that a international incident will happen with him around
his presence in the ritual at the very least is problematic for ixia

I do think he is royalty but like, I can’t imagine the son of a Duke or marquis dying in New York wouldn’t be an international incident

I mean to be fair, this wouldnt be the first international incident

Sick drifter game complete. Great lane with Apollo into Venator/Celeste. Abrams kinda got huge elsewhere and was a menace for a while but we all did really well not feeding him more and the coordination in fights and macro was on point.

Celeste can isolate herself and if she’s not on point with movement drifter can burst her down

not feeding the guy more is the hardest part

The more fed he is, the harder it is to not feed further
rich grove
unless he's like insanely fed and has phantom strike it's not so bad with abrams
frail jasper
carry abrams does not enjoy Crippling Headshot + Inhibitor + Toxic Bullets + Focus Lens
agile rune
Carry Abrams is an absurd statement
He doesn’t have the ability to handle multiple opponents which is necessary for a carry imo
rich grove
he can definitely continue rolling
it's really easy in uncoordinated pugs for people to keep picking stupid 1v1s
frail jasper
IME it usually comes across as him just skill difference-ing people repeatedly until he gets a major soul lead and just continues to blow people up with it
but if you actually jump him with CC and numbers it's not truly that hard to kill him, though it can take forever
rich grove
if the team doesn't know how to parry and/or doesn't buy antiheal, he will just keep fisting everyone while never dying
vivid nimbus
Random question, what would people recommend a Victor do into a Paige+Shiv lane?
frail jasper
shoot the paige a lot, for one
rich grove
That's Rough Buddy
paige + shiv is just kind of horrific to go into for anyone honestly
frail jasper
the shiv definitely isn't gonna be an easy kill with a paige supporting him, but if you can just bullet-hose her enough out of the lane then that's something
alternatively, just play entirely safe. it is in fact an okay strategy to just survive lane, don't try to force kills or pressure
agile rune
he can definitely continue rolling
Sure but a duelling carry is a lot less scary to me than a dedicated mass enemy carry
vivid nimbus
I was Vic's lane partner in that lane and playing Seven, my first death was after 4 of Victor's but had to deal with Victor whining about how that lane's impossible and he's just gonna die a bunch
rich grove
oof
tbh I don't think he's wrong just because of how the effective ranges match up
and then paige is just also paige
frail jasper
That's a bad attitude, but genuinely a good Paige/Shiv lane is gonna be awful so the right thing to do is not fight them
rich grove
you buy monster rounds, keep wave shoved and try to hard farm as safely as possible
vivid nimbus
tbh I don't think he's wrong just because of how the effective ranges match up
In post game (though we did win) I told him if it's such a bad lane he should've just asked to swap, it's not like we weren't in a 6-stack
agile rune
Or maybe arrange to swap lane with someone else in the team
frail jasper
if you have the prescience to, yeah just swapping out of a lane you know is gonna be bad for you. I'm really bad at recognizing if it's gonna truly be bad or not though.

I do think it's fine to criticize the game for having a base time/art period and then going forward in that time period anachronistically to clash with the rest of the aesthetic
Cuz they did it with TF2 and it was also bad there
mild flume
at least to me its like, more about the vibe than anything
mossy lance
if it was a far more serious game and setting i'd get it more
because valve has demonstrated they can stick to their guns, but TF2 has always been super playful
and i don't think it's different here
mild flume
shipping containers are one that are an anachronism but like it doesn't stand out

in the end my impression genuinely was that the maelstrom basically accelerated things a bit to begin with. big magitech boom basically, or whatever
