JQ is still so lame to go against as Lucio, because she one shots you with axe and turns off half your builds with Dez's Damage Dampenders

forest coral
#

lucio is the most obnoxious hero in the mode thank god

#

me when there's a singular hero in the game i cant absolutely shut down by buying one braindead power 💔

main jungle
#

What power are you talking about?

turbid kiln
#

i have a viable build lol

forest coral
#

reverb

#

second boop charge

main jungle
forest coral
#

the double ability powers are not only the least creative and laziest powers in the game they're almost always the most obnoxious ones too

turbid kiln
#

real

#

bro freja

#

has the most uninteresting

#

powers

forest coral
#

double suzu double lucio boop double coach gun god please be a t least a little creative

turbid kiln
#

its just shoot more

#

freja has one power that is interesting but it sucks

forest coral
turbid kiln
#

its like a gust of wind

forest coral
#

round 1

main jungle
#

Shoot the Lucio PeepoShrug

turbid kiln
forest coral
#

dva genji reaper all just cant engage if there's a lucio with half a braincell with that power

turbid kiln
#

ya reaper becomes a non issue if you got a lucio

forest coral
main jungle
forest coral
#

unless there's a goated hitscan lucio is the easiest hero in the game

#

and it is not close

#

i'd also rank him as the best hero in the mode CAUGHT

main jungle
forest coral
forest coral
#

that's 2 and they both are mid against lucio

#

esp if he has any semblance of what cover is whatsoever

#

sorry genji has the right click one

#

that's okay against lucio but genji wont finish the kill bc he gets double booped

main jungle
forest coral
#

they need to give that power some drawback like it increases boop's cd to 6 seconds

turbid kiln
#

makes lucio have 1 hp

forest coral
#

the zen auto aim that only procs if lucio is below 35% hp when zen is aiming his medium speed projectile at him

#

(one of zen's worst powers)

turbid kiln
#

fr

#

most his attacking powers suck tbh

forest coral
#

also double boop is still good against the 2 tanks that get kb resist items CAUGHT

#

not only is lucio forcing tanks to spend money and an item slot just bc of one of his abilities

#

the boop is hurts their momentum and prevents queen from getting the swing off if you have any semblance of timing

#

also literally just get liquid nitrogen

turbid kiln
#

real

forest coral
#

more than nullifies dez' dampeners and is genuinely just good in general

main jungle
#

Take an item shut down a character is not at all fair, the moment you learn how to play around a Lucio in your match he can't play the game. There's so many anti-mobility items in this mode I genuinely just don't think you understand the matchup

forest coral
#

doesnt shut him down btw

main jungle
#

It does if you're doing anything other than hard-meta builds

forest coral
#

literally just makes it so lucio doesnt absolutely shut down that particular tank and make them unable to play the game in its entirely

#

also just pick liquid nitrogen to break the tank's legs and make them a free kill CAUGHT

#

do u know how oppressive lucio is to play against as tank

#

even with queen's dampeners i stopped playing that hero bc boop spam is so damn oppressive

main jungle
#

K.

forest coral
#

and when i see lucio in my lobby i switch OFF of my 8 hour 76% wr dva build

#

i just straight up dont build it bc i know that hero makes me useless

#

and go entirely for an anti-lucio build

#

bc that hero is so damn oppressive

#

i go for early cybervenom liquid nitrogen just to make lucio relatively killable

#

coming FROM a lucio player btw

turbid kiln
#

doomfist playerr

not as much in ow2

#

i did not know orisa ult reached the air

aswell

i thought it was purely who ever was on the ground

Here's my list of brig powers for stadium next season
1- Primary fire deals knockback
2- Primary fire can heal allies for weapon power
3- inspire also gives some overhealth when triggered
4- Whipshot sets enemies on fire
5- Whipshot can knock enemies into walls dealing extra damage
6- shieldbash explodes on impact with an enemy
7- shieldbash can be used in every direction
8- shieldbash stuns enemies for a short duration
9- Shield has increased health and also deflects stuff
10- Packs give overhealth aswell
11- Rally lasts longer
12- Rally gives speedboost to u and allies

forest coral
#

1 - no
2 - maybe
3 - uhh careful with that
4 - sure
5 - that's just her perk doesnt really change her playstyle much but sure
6 - reminds me of the junrkat interaction i think that's funyn sure
7 - uhh i guess? does this mean like u can bash in a direction ur not facing or you can bash up and down or what, first option sounds kinda boring second option sounds like it could cook
8 - mm idk if this mode needs cc creep
9 - umm maybe with some tuning maybe she can deflect for a few seocnds by pressing reload
10 - i guess
11 - lazy that could probably be an item
12 - that could cook

#

i think there'[s a lot of stuff you could potentially do with brig like there's some of the things they did in mirrorwatch where whip pulls, shield taking a certain amount of damage empowers her next bash

#

didnt her packs also give a damage boost or smth

flint patrol
forest coral
#

april fools had the shield bash throw

#

i think there's a lot of potential for stuff like

#

after brig uses shield bash her next few swings are empowered (for like 3-4 seconds)

#

then maybe it can knock people back

#

and maybe that knockback does wall damage

#

although that could fuck up her combos like if u bash someone and swing on them maybe they get knocked out of your swing range which is kinda oops

#

another idea is giving her whipshot smth like a grapple

#

if u whip shot a surface brig gets launched in that direction

flint patrol
forest coral
#

i can see it being a feed if used improperly but maybe there's a way around that

flint patrol
forest coral
forest coral
#

so like u could whip shot the ground to super jump up

flint patrol
forest coral
#

my favorite brig perk is the one where shield bash gives her move speed afterwards so i feel like there's stuff that can be done with that

#

that sounds more like smth that could just be an item though

turbid kiln
#

any enemy in your inspire radious gets a discord orb and gets burned alive

#

brig can fly

#

brigs whipshot deals 1000% more knockback

neon galleon
#

Have they added back Dva’s heavy missiles yet?

acoustic kiln
#

whatever it is I’m probably only gonna play brig next season

#

solo climb from rookie to legend

proven knot
#

lol

#

my tag is Throws

proven knot
#

They’re gone?

neon galleon
# proven knot ?

They removed legendary loadout yesterday, I’m guessing the changes to the perk is messing with the power or something

proven knot
#

damn

#

i cant play dva in stadium until its back then

neon galleon
#

I hope whatever they fix on them doesn’t affect them too much, I was having fun melting Soldiers, Ashes, and Reapers-

proven knot
neon galleon
#

Hopefully, I might run a test or 2 with regular micro missiles, a thought went into my head involving them and that power that gives you a second charge of them

proven knot
#

I’ve compared the damage with and without and it’s a massive drop

neon galleon
#

Which is why I’m gonna do my test: basically I’m gonna see if that power lets me treat it like a double barrel shotgun and fire both charges at once

proven knot
#

It doesn’t

#

So for comparison abt legendary loadout vs base missiles

#

Legendary loadout does 166.5 damage

#

Base is 153

#

Except base dps is 93.5

#

While legendary loadout is 166.5

#

Because it fire all of its missiles in less than a second

neon galleon
#

Yeah I feel like an item to increase how fast Dva fired the base micros out would help them a lot, it won’t do much for heavy missiles since as you said they get fired out in less than a second.

proven knot
neon galleon
#

Huh-why weapon speed??

proven knot
#

I couldn’t tell you why it works that way

#

So every 10% or so gives you can extra missile per second

neon galleon
proven knot
neon galleon
#

It sounds like a Rein Blazing Blitz situation where you needed 30% attack speed to be able to get a fifth fire strike out of Blitz once you shatter: needs a fair bit of investment and might not be worth it in the end. At least for heavy missiles, Micro Missiles might be able to make more use of it due to how many it already fires out

proven knot
neon galleon
proven knot
#

not a lot of items give atk speed across the board. kind of a shame :/

#

its a fun stat

neon galleon
#

Yeah, in terms of the missile build though, Tommy gun would probably be the best one to grab, Vanadium being a possible option if you see yourself easily building bomb up but not being able to do much with it

proven knot
#

its op

neon galleon
# proven knot oh i always choose tommygun

I need to grab Tommy Gun more on Dva, I remember my first game with her doing a WP build, I grabbed Tommy Gun thinking “oh DM is an ability, so in theory every time I brought DM up, Tommy Gun should activate” I ended up getting rid of it next round cause I didn’t see much of a difference-

proven knot
#

it’s still really strong. boosters is such a short cd you can activate it a lot

paper snow
#

single stat characters ruin the fun of stadium aka cass and ashe

#

not because they are broken... although that is a big part but because they are boring to play against and as

neon galleon
paper snow
#

both tbh

#

if a character has best use from stat Aor B they are boring

#

Hybrid characters are more fun to play against and with

proven knot
#

wouldn’t ashe not be a single stat char then

paper snow
#

I think cass needs more AP options

#

and ashe needs less ap options

#

make bob scale with WP

#

and give her less fire options

#

not nerf the fire

neon galleon
#

Yeah Ashe has reasons to boost both AP and WP at the same time, especially with infrared sights

paper snow
#

jsut the sources

paper snow
#

ALL AP

#

is not fun to play

#

it is not fun to play againts

neon galleon
#

So you’re saying that playing a character optimally….which is a build that can be easily countered with 1 item…..is part of what ruins Stadium?

paper snow
#

but makes the game stale

neon galleon
proven knot
#

idk man i think youre on the money with cass here

#

but not ashe

paper snow
#

I think cass definitely

#

ashe jsut needs less fire

#

she has variety but most ppl dont build it

#

I think making ashe scale less with AP and more with WP would be more fun

#

key word

#

FUN

neon galleon
#

…not every character needs to have that much variety, it’s fine to have characters that would rather focus on 1 thing-

paper snow
#

I dont mind current ashe

#

but every ashe basically builds the same

#

and that gets boring

#

My stance is

#

characters that mainly benefit from one stat are boring

#

and hybrids are more fun to play against and as

proven knot
#

as in characters that build both stats at the same time?

paper snow
#

basically

#

variety

#

soldiers

#

and juno

#

genji and rein

#

characters that can do both

#

they dont have to

#

but they can

#

dva is agreat example

proven knot
#

ok dva is kind of a bad example

#

the others arent tho

paper snow
#

no

#

firerate

#

ap

#

wp

#

armor

#

she has it all

#

you can do so much cool stuff

proven knot
#

there’s no reason not to build missiles

#

which is your point ya?

paper snow
#

you can go melee

#

firerate

#

you have options with dva

#

you can hybrid your builds

#

ap wp at the same time

proven knot
#

i disagree. i think she needs more options to incentivize not building ap every single game

paper snow
#

or firerate melee

paper snow
#

rockets

#

you can build dmg

#

just go firerate

#

I dont run rockets on dva all the time and I do well

#

my point is

#

her kit enables that

#

cass doesnt

#

reaper doesnt

#

they have two builds max

#

and that boring

#

they neeed to give more powers that incentivize it

#

supports can go either way

#

and that what make them fun

#

dps meta is just cass ashe

#

ap wp

#

boring I sleep

#

I dont care about OP

#

or broken

#

they are just Boring

#

key word

neon galleon
paper snow
#

BORING

paper snow
proven knot
paper snow
#

and lucio can also go both

proven knot
#

ana

paper snow
#

ana can do both

#

and zen can do both

#

ap zen r

#

with other options

#

ana with heal sleep

neon galleon
paper snow
#

you can

#

ap wp hybrid

#

more stacked to ap

#

this is how I know the meta is cooked

#

everyone runs the same stat

#

no one tries to be different

#

I run 35 max ap on any build

#

I dont need all that extra especially since no one runs armor anyway

#

I just brrr

#

ded

#

zen can run it both ways

neon galleon
#

You are genuinely trolling your team if you think going WP on Lucio works

paper snow
#

but tbh ppl just dont care

paper snow
#

there is an item that heals for the dmg of your weapon

#

I said hybrid

#

to be fair

#

I never said only wp

neon galleon
paper snow
#

thats why you hybrid

#

30% of you dmg

neon galleon
#

Tell me, how much damage does it do at base?

paper snow
#

so build like 15% and your fine

#

idk bro

#

build lucio hybrid

#

I buy ap

#

but I also build other things that make the game not stale

#

idk

#

grow a brain

#

have fun

#

this is why we needed unranked

#

everyone just builds the same

#

you are proving my point

#

how many matches have you played where both teams didnt have mirror support @neon galleon

#

tell me how many games you win where there are flyers with a mei junk

#

telll me how many ppl in your lobbies run hybrid builds

#

you cant

#

MY POINT WAS

proven knot
#

you don’t think we’ve actually experimented with builds?

paper snow
#

THE SINGLE STAT META IS BORING

#

KEY WORD BORING

paper snow
#

I just hate the idea of ppl not listening

#

I said hybrid lucio

#

bro thinks WP lucio

#

like bro

#

I said hybrid

#

my point is

#

most if not all character in stadium are hybrids

#

and the ones that arenty

#

are so boring to play agaisnt

#

and I hate it

#

I want cass and ashe to have more with the off meta builds

#

I want mercy to have funny ap builds

#

I want this game to be fresh

#

FUN

#

KEY WORD

#

FUN

#

DIFFERENT

#

you cant sit here and tell me running into the same 4 meta builds isnt boring

#

you cant sit here and tell me WP cass is fun to play into or fire ashe is fun to play against

#

its boring

#

and repetitive

#

and that will kill this mode

#

not balance

#

repetitive bull crap

#

the worst thing a game can do

#

is be boring and samey

#

no one likes a cod clone

#

because that game is already boring

#

most if not all supports and tanks have varied builds... I would like it if certain characters who didnt did... If you agree than say so

#

if you dont

#

then I dont care tbh

#

cass is boring reaper is eh and ap ashe is boring...

#

everyone else is ok

proven knot
#

but not all of your examples

paper snow
neon galleon
# proven knot i agree with your point

I still think not every character needs that much variety, some characters are fine being simple, and I’m blocking him purely because I don’t want my screen bombarded with 50 fucking messages that could have been combined into 1

paper snow
#

but I think most if not every character could have more Expression

tepid folio
#

What’s some of the best builds for Dva in stadium

proven knot
tepid folio
#

My friend said Dva feels bad rn

#

And all the builds are bad but I didn’t feel like it was true

proven knot
#

ok thats cap

#

she has good builds

paper snow
#

bro couldve just ignored instead of block tbh

proven knot
#

but with legendary loadout being disabled you cant use her best builds rn

neon galleon
#

Legendary loadout is Dva’s best build but it’s been disabled right now due to I’m guessing the changes to the equivalent perk fucking with the power

tepid folio
#

Why did they disable her stuff

proven knot
#

because it was bugged

tepid folio
#

They should’ve just fixed it instead of disabling it

neon galleon
#

They disabled it the same day of the patch, they probably don’t want a bugged power running around and messing up matches

tepid folio
#

What’s the next best option

proven knot
bright briar
#

ap cass:

#

ap mercy:

proven knot
#

yes

bright briar
#

honestly even moira. AP moira its not bad

#

but WP moira is just so much better

proven knot
#

ok ap moira is good

tepid folio
#

It seems fun on paper

#

But it never works

neon galleon
bright briar
#

I tried AP genji. apparently dragonblade scales with WP

#

why the hell does blade scale with wp

tepid folio
tepid folio
#

Idk

#

Ig dash is too

bright briar
#

its an ability though it feels weird

tepid folio
#

It fits better for his builds

neon galleon
tepid folio
#

Honestly

paper snow
proven knot
bright briar
#

OH

paper snow
#

thats how you would fix it tbh

tepid folio
#

But for Genji you only wanna build into wp

bright briar
#

Blade scales for WP and AP??

tepid folio
#

Bc Ap is worthless

tepid folio
#

They just don’t say it

bright briar
#

oooo.
are any of them better? or like

#

20% AP 20% WP = stronger than
40% AP
40% WP

tepid folio
#

I don’t remember what scales higher but most likely weapon power

#

There’s never a reason to build full into Ap tho

#

Since dash build

#

Is horrendous

bright briar
#

interesting ok. 25% melee item is defo worth it then for a blade build

#

bc thats just a flat 25% buff on blade surely

neon galleon
bright briar
#

honestly more things should be like that. scale equally with AP and WP.

tepid folio
#

Unfortunately it doesn’t make a difference with Genji

#

Since you’d build into wp

#

It’s cool he does both tho

bright briar
#

like....
what if moiras right click self healing scaled with AP

tepid folio
#

Like I thought I was messing up with Genji’s Ap build until I realized it was just bad

paper snow
#

laceration slash

#

never stop slashing

tepid folio
tepid folio
#

Like dash build is fully reliant on you just killing time with one dash

neon galleon
# tepid folio Since you’d build into wp

Here is a funny thing about that: everything item that increases both AP and WP is significantly more effective on Dragon blade than anything else. Phantasmic Flux? Secretly a 20% damage boost and 30% lifesteal boost on Dragon Blade. Superflexor? Secretly a 35% damage boost on blade since blade actually fucking triggers it to stack

tepid folio
neon galleon
#

Even if it’s the single slash from the deflect power

paper snow
paper snow
tepid folio
paper snow
#

since its a beam

#

so buying armor makes them hurt less

tepid folio
#

If it wasn’t intentional it would’ve been patched

neon galleon
tepid folio
#

Yeah I noticed

#

I was so confused on that when I first started

#

And then I saw on a YouTube video blade scaled with both and I was like “what”

neon galleon
#

Yeah a random Genji I played with and told that AP doesn’t work on Dragonblade had to set me straight-

#

Wait a minute I just realized something I need to check now-

#

Ok either the bots can’t get slowed down or Dragonblade can’t trigger liquid nitrogen

proven knot
#

the bots can get slowed

paper snow
paper snow
#

I mean amor make everything hurt a little less

paper snow
#

make sure to hit alt when in the armory

#

you can see what is affected

proven knot
#

armory isnt always accurate

paper snow
neon galleon
# proven knot the bots can get slowed

Anyway I checked how much attack speed helps out with micro missiles, 70% attack speed gets the missiles to be at exactly 153 dps, which definitely isn’t worth it, meanwhile 70% AP and 20% attack speed gets the dps to top at about 214.20

proven knot
paper snow
#

so yeah junk is a hybrid character

neon galleon
bright briar
#

trap build is entirely dependant on enemy movement. and junkrat has nothing to enhance mines

proven knot
bright briar
#

theres like 1 item which does anything to mine and u have to throw mine into the air

proven knot
#

however its the games fault

#

not the tools

neon galleon
proven knot
#

yes

#

onslaught doesnt increase dps

#

its just more missiles

#

with a longer duration

neon galleon
#

Which adds like 57 more damage to the burst for micros-

proven knot
#

yup

paper snow
#

are you slow

paper snow
bright briar
#

do they though.

#

at 100% AP. your mine is dealing 240 dmg assuming no falloff

#

which, there probably will be falloff

paper snow
bright briar
#

u could have a mei build where a single icicle does that

#

or freja

#

who has better mines built into her gun lol

proven knot
bright briar
#

more importantly doe. mines dont have any good items/powers.

paper snow
#

idk

bright briar
#

theres like two? radius increase if ur mine is 5m above ground.

#

and self KB

paper snow
#

play the character correctly

#

idk

#

skill issue tbh

paper snow
#

they think they can

#

which is ineffective

#

one shot this and that yet you die to one shots as well

#

its an rng fest of goobers

#

each character has kits and they mix well which allows for deeeper lvl of play

#

yet everyone just puts mud on a stick and acts like they found the meta

#

like bro its brain ded thinking rounding out your builds is key

#

not just dmg

forest coral
bright briar
paper snow
#

but hybridizing and utilizing synergies

bright briar
#

you deal SO much damage and healing

paper snow
#

its so wild to me how ppl are just clueless

paper snow
forest coral
#

i feel like it's hard to compete with cyber venom liquid nitrogen orb spam

paper snow
#

I think firerate wp moira go brrr

bright briar
#

orb build isnt bad for sure if ur team is good

#

but WP moira is defo a carry build

paper snow
#

IF

#

that is a big ass IF

bright briar
#

yah exactly

forest coral
#

i mean wp moira is prob one of the only things that can reliably check genji if i had to guess

bright briar
#

rather than relying on rng matchmaking

#

wp moira is reliable bc its entirely ur own skill rly

bright briar
#

dva especially

forest coral
#

would dva not be able to just burst moira down

proven knot
#

she would

paper snow
#

since slash and blah blah blah

bright briar
#

she can. wp moira is mostly about positioning

forest coral
#

if you can force fade without boosters i feel like she just gets mauled by legendary loadout

bright briar
#

you dont walk into their team

paper snow
#

idk only in low elo is moria good against genji

#

but also they kinda just keep buffing her

#

for no reason

forest coral
#

moira only counters genji in low elo she is still never a fun matchup for him

#

regardless of elo

paper snow
#

not bad at all

#

I prefer to fight moira in stadium

#

the constant buffs she is getting is so annoying tho

forest coral
#

even in stadium i feel like moira is the only supp genji can actually struggle to deal with

paper snow
#

she hasnt had a nerf in like 12 patches

paper snow
#

is dps gained more money it wouldnt matter

#

nerf money gain for supports and the game changes

bright briar
forest coral
#

liquid nitrogen moira can absolutely out maneuver and out sustain genji

paper snow
#

and because money

#

she can get it fast

#

not much to say there

#

I mean dash deflect counters it tbh

forest coral
#

it's insane to me that moira and mercy have dodged cash generation nerfs for so damn long

bright briar
#

alot of supps have insane cash gen

#

lucio aswell

paper snow
#

like kiri is a balanced state now

forest coral
#

i think

#

lucio mercy moira genji need cash gen nerfs

paper snow
#

can we nerf the other two problems

forest coral
#

maybe dva

bright briar
#

tbh i dont even think they should nerf their cash gen

#

just buff everyone elses

#

its more fun ending r1 with like 14k

paper snow
#

genji is the only dps that can farm it fast

#

oh and ashe

#

but thats because she dumb

forest coral
#

dva is tricky tho bc she's absolutely the most polarizing hero in the mode

#

i feel like every dva i see is either really ass or really good

paper snow
#

dva is fine

#

shes op

#

she bad

#

that means she in a good plave

#

if a character is a real problem everyone agrees

#

if a character is bad everyone argues

bright briar
#

dva was considered bad before everyoen started rolling the missile build

forest coral
#

i still feel like she's one of the onyl heroes in the mode that can actually make you fee llike wow there is literally nothing i can do

paper snow
#

if a character is balanced everyone doesnt know for sure

bright briar
#

thats when zarya was "meta"

#

dva missile build tho kinda just deletes zar

paper snow
#

I want an item to counter DM

forest coral
#

i think specifically the dm missile power

paper snow
#

make it so I do dmg just a reduced amount

forest coral
#

can be super duper oppressive against heroes like reaper cass etc

#

especially in late game

#

makes you feel like u gen cant play the game

paper snow
#

because like ana cant exist with dva

#

and the dm eats heals

forest coral
#

like against dm most of the time it's like okay if i just play around cover i can wait out dm

paper snow
#

so like its poopoo

forest coral
#

but with that power i cant physically react to the dm of my first shot and 1 reaper shot that late in the game will trigger the power

#

so u just get blown up without being able to react

paper snow
#

lets all melee build dva ah team comp

#

just gran gran running it down with her punch

#

lmao

forest coral
#

they dont know i run melee dva

paper snow
#

everyone quick melee

#

I think there are counters to everything at this point and stadium makes counter the counters way easier

#

getting one shot buy divine or conduit... beamed buy armor and reductionfield... burned to death martian mender.... idk cant win a 1v1 buy lifesteal boom

forest coral
#

yeah like i think double boop lucio shits on dva really hard

#

but if dva specs into liquid nitrogen cybervenom lucio's legs just get broken

#

and he gets punished a lot more if he tries to peel dva

paper snow
#

idk the biggest pain point of stadium for me isnt OP characters its just running into the same builds all the time

#

personally I just want cass to have dead eye build that makes him launch in the air

#

or like give him a power that makes flash bang the old predator missle

#

or fun idea make it so he gets a new power that gives him an AP punch

#

like he punches ppl and they get knocked up

#

and like take more dmg

#

idk something fun

forest coral
paper snow
#

martian mender my favorite item now

#

passive healing that is constant

forest coral
#

i just never know what to swap out for it

#

like is it really more worthwhile than phantasmic flux

#

should i get it instead of gloomgauntlet on dva or should i get it before my burst damage items on genji

paper snow
#

that item is goated

#

not even op either

#

just a good item

#

more survival items need that

#

like goated stats

bright briar
#

like, trap that moves, mine that applies burn, idk

bright briar
#

i wanted a chomper trap like mario

paper snow
#

Less launcher ones and more goober mine ones

bright briar
#

the trap tries to bite people

paper snow
#

Just make it a flying trap

bright briar
#

omg yes

paper snow
#

Chases ppl but can be destroyed

bright briar
#

roadhog hook but its junkrat throwing a trap chain

#

its just weird how like half of junkrats items/powers are about throwing himself into the skybox

paper snow
#

Yeah it goes around looking for ppl but can be shot for counter play

bright briar
#

when half of the stadium roster are hitscans??

bright briar
#

3 baby riptires that just run off and try chase people

#

also its funny u mention cass. idk what the point of playing him in stadium evne is

#

u can go into workshop and set his damage to 200% and get the same experience

paper snow
#

I think more stadium powers should revolve around the ults

#

like every character should have one power

#

I think the cass punch power would be cool

#

or an item that makes cass fly after using his ult

#

like he uses high noon and a petal platform spawns under him

#

something like that would be awesome

turbid kiln
#

a flying cass using deadeye

#

would be terrifying

paper snow
#

give him a lasso

#

it makes sense

#

a lasso for pulling ppl in

#

or to keep them rooted

turbid kiln
#

oh yeah

#

that would be cool actually

#

if they add venture to stadium they should give her the ability to kick rocks at people

#

like sigma

hushed jewel
#

Why the fuck is dva even in stadium

#

Every build of hers gets fucking bombed into oblivion

#

The nano build, bomb build, punch build, and now the DM barrage build

#

What’s next they’re going to change the lava to only being there for half a second like a fucking speed trail

turbid kiln
#

my rein got mad at me for not healing enough

#

when all his charges where directly into the fucking backline of the other team T_T

#

at somepoint he pinned a kiri clone

freja AP isnt too bad i guess

but you gotta really focus on getting that AP as high as possible

did anyone actually pick that before the bug

the legendary loadout nerf was barely anything

im just waiting for legendary loadout to come back before i q dva again

hushed jewel

And doki slam is so bad I can’t

#

You have to be high enough but then you can’t see and sometimes it never actually activates

#

Tbh most of her powers are ass

proven knot
#

i think the real issue is that ap gets so much more than wp for her powers/items

#

wp only gets 1 power so it just ends up being weaker

#

a lot of her powers aren’t bad in a vacuum they just don’t get the right support to make them actually shine

turbid kiln
#

oh that ones booty

#

wasting a whole sleep dart lol

proven knot
#

i think how i would change dva in stadium is

#

get rid of statboost (too many dm powers, basically does what facetanking/wide dm does) and get rid of countermeasures (will always be either too strong and obnoxious to fight or too weak and does nothing)

#

and add something to synergize with weapon power and something else to synergize with toki slam

bright briar
#

it used to combo w/ the sleep dart dmg item triggering it twice

#

it made sleep dart do 200 dmg

#

they fixed the bug, then nerfed the power oop

@proven knot Legendary Loadout is back

#

The nerf knocked the damage down to 126-

proven knot
neon galleon
#

The nerf still didn’t stop me from winning a game as Dva but I think I can feel the countermeasure nerf, either that or the enemy team didn’t pump a lot of damage into my dm-

Accidentally got my bomb over the wall near the spawn on Ilios Ruins and killed both their supports-

the old damage was 166.5

neon galleon

What powers do you specifically grab anyway cause I’ve been grabbing LL Countermeasure, Facetanking, Ultrawide. Plan on swapping Facetanking and Countermeasure around and sticking with Mastermind’s Mitigator for a few more rounds if I find I’m taking too much damage and not getting healed up fast enough heading into round 3

proven knot
#

the nerf should have put it down to 158.25

proven knot
neon galleon
#

Ultrawide I feel like would be the general pick for that build, I don’t see much else you could slot in instead of it instead of maybe express detonation if you find that they’ll get caught out by the faster explosion. Party Protector could be good if you need that extra overhealth to get back into your mech

proven knot
#

I actually like party protector

#

tho yeah u wide is the general option

neon galleon
#

Nebula conduit I find is a lot better on Dva than I first thought thanks to Facetanking, do wish we had another way of speeding up DM’s recovery time though

proven knot
#

Haven’t tried it. facetanking is usually all of my sustain

#

pretty broken power

#

genuinely surprised it got buffed

neon galleon
#

I just had a match against Orisa, Cass, Mei, Mercy, Kiri. Was getting shredded in between my dm’s for a few rounds despite still doing well but getting Nebula Conduit allowed me to better survive those in between moments since that 15% prevented damage doesn’t seem to tick too well……now I’m wondering something….does Cushioned Padding count it as a negative effect?

#

Omg it does-

proven knot
#

wait

#

how does that work

neon galleon
#

Cushioned padding actually gets rid of some of conduit’s tick damage-

neon galleon
proven knot
#

so

#

you don’t take the entire damage?

neon galleon
#

I didn’t take the entire damage

proven knot
#

interesting

#

Def a bug

neon galleon
#

Granted because I was Dva and it was against the rocket bots it was like 3 damage I saved buuuuut that does mean some interesting things can occur

proven knot
#

if legendary loadout is really 122 damage now

neon galleon
# proven knot Def a bug

Oh it probably is cause my Dva’s mech keeps making a tiger roar and the health regen sound keeps starting up periodically

proven knot
#

i need to go back to the drawing board with my buidl

neon galleon
proven knot
#

ok i gotta check this out when i get home

neon galleon
#

Base Micro Missiles with 80% AP and onslaught did 337 damage. Heavy missiles with the same thing did 301

proven knot
#

yeah that seems like a bug

#

Reg missiles doing more can’t be intentional

neon galleon
#

Adding 20% AP to the original 80% makes Micro do 374 and Heavy 334

proven knot
#

the math isn’t correct

#

350% to 325%

#

should not be 122 damage

neon galleon
#

So either the text is lying or they accidentally put in the wrong number in the code

proven knot
#

i bet

#

wrong code

neon galleon
#

Welp either way let’s put in a bug report, see if it gets them to fix one or the other

#

Alright I made the report

#

Welp I’m about to fight a Zarya as Dva, I wonder how many missiles I can fire out with countermeasures

tepid folio
#

i got a question

#

in stadium how can i deal with rein

#

i win every game besides ones with him in it he walks over my entire team

#

i even buy the perks that do extra damage to shields but it doesnt work

proven knot
#

i just checked

neon galleon
tepid folio
#

i play as any dps

#

usually cass, solider, reaper, or genji

#

i play with my friend and she plays dva all the time

#

and i feel like i fight aggressive rein players

#

they just stay close to mid range

#

swing their hammer

neon galleon
#

So like Hammer or charge Reins?

tepid folio
#

hammer

#

i get hit with at least 3 earthshatters a game

#

and once we can kill him the team just dies after but the problem is killing him

neon galleon
#

Alright if you go rocket build on Soldier get Liquid Nitrogen, any rocket that manages to hit him will slow him down and that can really screw him over

#

Cass….honestly go full WP and fan the hammer on him, if you can keep him down that way quickly enough he’ll have a harder time scaling out of control

#

Reaper has 2 options: completely ignore the Rein and kill the rest of his team, or go tank buster and specifically get the ghosted power

#

If you pass through Rein with wraith and you have the Ghosted power, his movement and attack speed get slowed by 30%

#

As for Genji…..why are you trying to fight Rein as Genji-

tepid folio
#

i try to go around him to get any squishy but bc my team cant push forward its often a 1v5 and then yeah

tepid folio
#

any advice for dva vs rein

#

same thing?

neon galleon
#

A Hammer Rein is going to attempt to bulldoze Dva over, either try to keep him at bay with boost, missiles, and liquid nitrogen or help the diver kill the rest of his team

#

No matter how you slice it, try to stop him from getting as much money as possible

#

The longer it takes for him to build up to a significant amount, the easier it’ll be to kill him before he can scale too much

#

If it’s a fire strike Rein Dva will be able to outperform him at range and Reaper and Genji can have a better time fighting him up close, if it’s a charge Rein bait him into a bad charge and unload on him before his team can save his ass, and if it’s a shield Rein……literally ignore him and kill everyone else first. Shield Reins are stubborn when it comes to dying and most I face don’t build a lot of damage.

#

They’re basically just trying to be a brick wall for you to smash your head against in vain

tepid folio
#

Alright I’ll see if that works thanks a lot

neon galleon
#

Watch out for fliers though, those fuckers are creative, in both getting kills and getting into bullshit spots to survive long enough for his team to get back to the fight

acoustic kiln

who wins a rein with hammer build or rein with fire strike build

#

lowkey i can already tell if where gonna win just by what my teammates buy

hushed jewel
#

No clue tbh

#

I don’t play Erin

#

Rein*

neon galleon
turbid kiln
#

hammer build wins most the time

#

since fire strike isnt a aggressive build

#

and dumping money into just ability power

neon galleon
#

Cause a Firestrike Rein only truly needs to get impact burst for optimal fire striking, meaning they can get some powers to further boost fire strike, boost up charging, their shield, get fire strikes after a shatter, or even some hammer stuff of their own

turbid kiln
#

i aint realise this but the biotech maximizer works on every orb moria summosn

#

summons

neon galleon
#

Plus a Firestrike Rein can get both cybervenom and liquid nitrogen to just absolutely cripple the hammer rein

turbid kiln
#

well

#

geuss what my rein didnt get

#

either one\

#

i think fire strike could work if you play it not like how you play rein normally

neon galleon
turbid kiln
#

but you would need something to survive atleast

#

unless you got like a healbot moria build

#

on your team

#

but most morias go ability power for dpsing

neon galleon
#

You could also get the heal barrier and the extra barrier health to allow yourself to get effective healing with it, like I said Firestrike Rein only truly needs Impact Burst

#

Technically speaking Firestrike Rein goes online sooner since that build doesn’t need as much to start cooking while Hammer Rein still needs a chance to build their stacks up

turbid kiln
#

true true

#

i never see people use blazing blitz

#

it looks like it would be fun if set up properly

neon galleon
#

And let’s not forget every Firestrike build is also a charge build in disguise

neon galleon
turbid kiln
#

i wish i knew how to play rein

#

sounds fun

neon galleon
#

Imagine the enemy Rein blocks your shatter but instead of being able to attempt to get in your face he has to worry about the 4 incoming Firestrikes

turbid kiln
#

true lol

#

i wanna try it but

#

ion wanna get flamed by my team if we lose

#

also i dont know how to play tank

#

and i dont wanna touch dps anymore since they nerfed slowball for mei

neon galleon
#

Think of it like this: you need to cull a fair bit of the aggression that regular Rein has

turbid kiln
#

ahh

#

when stadium came out my fav rein build was the barrier build

#

until people started doing hammer build

neon galleon
#

You basically become a poke brawl hybrid with a very mean poke that can be weaved into brawling situations if one occurs

neon galleon
# turbid kiln also i dont know how to play tank

As for playing tank, there are 3 main things that generally apply to them: making space, peeling, and being the frontline. Each tank has them at different priorities but those are the 3 main points I find with tank in the game

neon galleon
#

So in Rein’s case, charging down a flanker fucking with your supports or getting between your team and a Dva bomb and holding your barrier up

#

Lots of characters that aren’t tanks have some peeling capabilities but you’ll see it talked about a lot with tanks

turbid kiln
#

I HATE PLAYING WITH SIGMA AS MY TANK BRO

#

sigma is not good in stadium

#

i wish they didnt add sigma into stadium

#

i wait like 7 mins just for my tank to play sigma

and doesnt even use any sigma meta builds which are the only good builds he will have

#

since almost all of his powers are doodoo butt

#

i always get the sigma that picks the melee power

# turbid kiln sigma is not good in stadium

He can be, I’ve seen Sigmas do good damage and be hard to kill, the problem is he is the first true poke tank added to Stadium so a lot of people playing Stadium are in a readjustment period when they choose to play him. You can’t just go in guns blazing with him like you could the other tanks that are in Stadium
