Combo Adjustments

[plucky moat]

Combo received some adjustments this update.

All combos (EEE/EQE/QQQ etc.) now deal the same damage. They now vary in their knockback instead of there always being one you want to use because it does the most damage.
Players can also dash now by using the Q move outside of a combo with a 4 second recharge rate.

What do you think of these changes?
If you believe these changes were unfair and need to be reverted, or need to be nerfed further, feel free to share what you think should change in ⁠#1329631220656767121.

^ pick 2 or 3 if you only like one change and not the other

i.e. pick "I like that combos now deal the same damage." if you like the damage change but not the dashing and vice versa

Ok

[plucky moat]

this is what impartial means guys

[sacred token]

not surprised the community needs this

[hidden wasp]

yes!

[wispy ravine]

good but Q needs a bigger cd

[tranquil rain]

broooo drop perms for me to make a tester poll

[sacred token]

anyway i like that combos now depend on knockback and not damage, the dash I'm like SEVERELY unsure of but i think it may need a longer cooldown

[plucky moat]

just get tester 🤔

Bro

😭

I feel like the dash should be more like buffs roll of the dash you get in the 11th quest

[plucky moat]

like directional?

as in you hold WASD and dash in that direction

[wispy ravine]

this already exists

[plucky moat]

didnt know it actually got added

[empty ore]

waot

thats how he dashed?!

huuuh

I was acting like it was some weird tech 😭

[junior patrol]

Ok so wait combo has a 4 second cd dash?

How far does it go

[tired chasm]

haven’t had the opportunity to test it but I like the idea of all combos doing the same damage, it encourages you to actually use the other combos depending on the situation instead of always doing EEE for 50 damage

do all the combos have the same knockback they used to have or was that tweaked in this update?

QQQ was always the big knockback combo, didn’t know if that was changed

[acoustic venture]

they have different knockback

[acoustic venture]

its still the biggest knockback combo

[plucky moat]

KB was not changed

[junior patrol]

Consider slightly increasing the cooldown per dash on combo's Q

[odd jasper]

this is probably one of the biggest glow ups ive seen

as an ability

i tried all 9 combos

very good

well they didn't change

but dashing helps

[tired chasm]

finally got the opportunity to playtest it so I can give actual feedback now

like I said above, the combos all doing the same damage is a good change, it encourages you to use different combos depending on the situation instead of always using EEE for the damage

dashing is also a great addition, it helps you close the distance and is awesome for dodging as well, which helps you not get stomped as badly by projectiles

I do think the cooldown could be increased a bit though, maybe 6 or 7 seconds instead of only 4

don’t really know how I feel about the E uppercut to initiate combos, it adds another extra input to something that was pretty seamless beforehand

you could go straight into the combo if you landed that initial input instead of having to press E once, make sure you actually hit your opponent, and then transition into your combo string

not to mention, if you miss your uppercut but input a combo that involves Q, you end up wasting one or both of your dashes

I'm not gonna main combo for this 🥀

[tired chasm]

overall I still prefer how combo used to be before the priming rework, in an ideal world combo would still function like that with dashing bound to R and the equal combo damage carrying over as well

but if I had to choose between the priming version and this current version, I’m picking the current version 100% of the time

[wispy ravine]

6 7

[tired chasm]

so all in all, could be a little bit better if it returned to how it used to work before the priming version while carrying over dashing (by binding it to R) and equal combo damage, but this is still miles better than the priming version

[tired chasm]

as far as I can tell the AoE combo still doesn’t work either, don’t know what got messed up in the transfer but it was never an issue for the pre-priming version of combo
