Skye with her big futa cock.

>>158322690

She just has ZERO objective presence. She absolutely has to get kills or she does nothing. At least Androxis can duel at close range.

Drogoz simply lacks the DPS viktor does

Cassie, if you've ever watched a pro game, is a top teir pick. She usually does the most damage and has a lot of kill potential. Her damage falloff is very low and can do well at any range. I genuinely think shes that high tier.

yea I know this is just my opinion

I think a good kinessa can make a bigger impact on a game than a good bombking

drogos can deal as much dmg as vicktor but he is much safer and his ult is much better

Cassie is very easy to play and I think she is just a comfort pick. Players will pick her up for reliability but I think you can get more out of other classes.

>>158323647
Currently you'd need aggression 3 to get minimal damage increase against haven 1.

You can change it to the one you want with the alt fire ability, anyway. It has no cooldown.

>>158323937
Almost everyone gets haven in this game unless it's a stacked blast opponent team.

Evie / drag etc, with aggression does +5-15% more dmg to everyone. I've lost tons of fights where the winner walked away with <5% health and that extra bit of dmg would of helped push a kill and not left my team -1 player.

Usually I buy my important cards, if it's a long match and I have points to spare I get aggression (unless heavy healing or 2 tanks) and I do see it making a difference because I start to win more of the dog fights against even opponents.

Aggression is 2 things, it's a straight dmg boost for blast champions and it's a haven reduction on everyone else. You can say it doesn't make enough of a difference all you like but when you have players of comparable skill, every little bit matters.

>>158325335

I'd argue Drogoz, Evie and maybe BK are the best characters for aggression because nobody buys Blast Shields in this fucking game. Drogoz with Aggression 2 does quite a lot of damage after thrusting or marking someone with spit.

By the way, you can mark people with spit for 30% extra damage. It's actually really effective against tanks.

139KB, 660x1045px

>>158337918
>Here's a repost from a few threads ago on how one anon would rework Skye.

Skye needs a full-on rework.

The issue with characters like Skye (and her predecessor, Loki) is that they're very binary: either you notice them and they're useless, or you don't and they melt you in 1.5 seconds. In low-level games, stealth is too strong, and in high-level games, it's too predictable. If she stays as is, all she'll ever be is a pubstomper.

To keep her stealth, she needs to move away from the "kills you instantly" niche. I propose that she instead moves into utility.

>DPS lowered to 600, dart accuracy and range greatly increased
>Given a doublejump and a wallrun by holding space against a wall, can climb infinitely.
>Poison dart damage lowered to 2.5% max HP over five seconds per dart. Healing reduction increased to 70%.
>Smoke bomb additionally cripples and slows by 30% for enemies that stay within. Grants stealth to herself automatically no matter where she throws it.
>Invisibility cooldown lowered to 8 seconds.

Now she has a specific niche: she can't kill you. However, you can't kill her. She will continue to harass you, over and over and over, and will stealth immediately if you try to go and look for her. And eventually, she will kill you.

It also makes the KinessaxSkye matchup far more bearable. Kinessa will get harassed and be perpetually preoccupied with Skye, but she has a decent chance of 1v1ing her, if she has any idea where she is. And even if she buys Illuminate, Skye's new mobility and high range still lets her be somewhat of an annoyance.

What's good card setup for Evie, its my first day playing

But she already has that, m8. Landing any posion bolt grants a steroid on her M1, but landing all three bolts grants an even bigger steroid.

>>158338484
I forgot, guess that works too. Thanks m9.

>>158336487
You just don't.

>>158337918
She's going to have to be reworked. I personally don't mind having invisibility in the game but, it will always draw out the asspain of low skill players and low skill players are the majority so she will have to be nerfed all the time for as long as she has it. I think Prettyhair said it in the last patch show "We have people complaining that Skye needs to be nerfed but in high level play we have people saying she isn't even close to viable".

>>158337918
I've just played as her and as other anons already said, she's too extreme, either stomps the whole enemy team if they're total noobs or becomes completely useless if they know what they're doing. She's predictable because of her playstyle.

>>158338623
Hence the rework in >>158338318 (not mine, but I support it). Lower her damage, but give her vastly improved mobility, control and utility. Now she feels like a springy ninja, and even though she lacks the raw killing power that partly makes your typical stealth champ so devastating, she is more of an ever-present menace on the field you can't get rid of.

>>158338623
invisibility is useless against people with object permanence, which is to say, all of them

invisibility will never be a problem to deal with if people have a fucking brain

its why in tf2 spy is nearly useless in high levels

people can mostly just turn around and slap him and hell die

>>158337934
Wrecker etc only apply to basic attack

>>158337809
I don't even find the illusion nerf to be that bad. Seems its more of "People are neglecting to actually shoot the illusions, so we'll just kill them for them"

Plus, she can get a card that boosts their uptime by 12 seconds. With there being an out-of-battle healing mechanic, I don't see it as much of a nerf.

Hi-Rez is not falling into the trap of catering only to the competitive/tournament crowd; they're making it a point to make sure the casual audience courts the game well, because they know games like this live and die by the casuals.

And yet, on the patch notes show for OB36, when the fan question about Skye's ult cropped up, HiRezPrettyHair and Raynday both visibly rolled their eyes and had to explain that Skye has already been nerfed to the ground, that she's nonexistant in competitive play, and that sooner or later, players just need to git gud to deal with Skye.

>>158339771
i suppose it refers to how you will face makoa when pulled to him so if makoa turns around while hooking you will have your back to the enemy and makoa can shell spin you into their team

>>158334978
s-sauce?

>>158339886
imo skye just needs to have a higher skill floor

something like having a weapon that fires more slowly or needing to land her poison darts to deal respectable damage or something

>>158340104
A higher skill floor does not make a character competitive; it only makes her harder to play. There's no guarantee the payoff will justify the work put into it.

>>158340223
you sound overly defensive anon

what would be so bad about making skye slightly harder to play so she performs more consistently across different levels of play?

>>158340491
I'm not being defensive. I'm just pointing out how making a character harder is not equivalent to making a character better.

>>158340641
but it's pretty fucking guaranteed that making her less cancer in low tier play will make her a more bearable character overall and more likely to get a buff to make her more viable

>>158340491
because then she's just equally bad across all skill levels?

>>158339932
Check the filename.

>>158340491
the problem isnt her skill level, its the fact that even when played perfectly she isnt as good as the other flankers.
skye's effectiveness is almost entirely dependent on her opponents skill level.
honestly I'm starting to agree with that skye rework guy, a significant portion of her kit needs to be completely altered for her to proplerly function as a character.

>>158341020
More bearable? She's already shitty right now, it takes no more than 3 matches against her to realize how to deal with her. This kind of game needs low tier champions that are easy to pick and rewarding against low level players but just as easy to counter, it's how people begin to learn.

Is anyone else getting tons of random friend requests after games?

you guys keep talking about high tier play and skye being unviable but in the lowest of low tier play skye literally deletes every other hero from the game because she is the most brainless character known to mankind. literally just cloak, walk close to enemy, ADAD and shoot in general direction of enemy, smoke bomb, repeat, collect easy team wipe

what i'm saying is, if you change the way she works so she's more difficult to play than that you can BOTH erase her cancer status in low tier play AND later introduce buffs to make her viable in high tier play

I see drogoz all the time. Like half of my games has at least one drogoz in play. When the drogoz is on my side it's one that tries to snipe and sidesteps at best. On the enemy side it rapes my shitter team constantly and then uses the ult on me.

>>158347581
Wormhole makes Evie 2x better as a champ. Also using the Flicker IV card makes it that she can easily heal 600 HP by blinking then wormhole'ing.

Well, you aren't gonna win by playing Ying solo. If you have a friend who can play Nando, you can do it, but alone you are just gonna get frustrated.

My recommendation would be Drogoz for forcing wins.

I've started to expect Ruckus to pretend they're Kinessas. Why do they think it's a good idea?

>>158349305
Because they have the most damage output of the frontliners, so they think they're hot shit and can just volley the point with their bullet spray.

I dunno man, can you blame me for playing like you're supposed to play while my teammates scramble all over the map except for the objective.
No wonder I get gunned down when no one covers my elf ass. There's only so much I can do. Barik also had pretty decent shielding I guess, but absolutely NONE of them used their ult. Not one, not once.

It is not increases cooldown but it is wormhole time+afteruse cooldown time.
I had a hard time first using this skill after playing a lot without it, sometimes you want not just blink back but also change your location quickly, which sometimes cannot be possible if wormhole time is too long. I feel 4 seconds on level 2 was too much so I tried using level 1 (2 seconds) and it was just what I want. In fact it would be better if it was 3 seconds, but there is no such card.

Grohk feels so disappointing to play. His gun feels too weak, and his ult has that loud ass yell only for it to hit people maybe 3 times and not take half their health.

>>158355056
I wish his gun had infinite range.

>>158355056
Healing Rain IV and Gale IV are mandatory on him. Also your ult's main function isn't to hurt enemies, it's to heal and speedup your allies.

His lightning gun is fine as well if you can just track with your mouse well enough. Remember the things that gets hit by your ball lightning right click makes arc lightning among things near it that do damage. It's good to use them on Barik turrets or Ying illusions.

>>158355121
While somewhat lamentable, the situation you find yourself in is still entirely your fault and could have easily been avoided by going to get the drink after you had selected your champion. Stop shitposting, please.

Is this what they mean by a beta?

There is no hope for Grover mains.

>>158356370

I don't know why this game hates me with this bullshit matchmaking but at least I stall out these games so long that everyone's getting annoyed instead of just me.

i get this feeling drogoz and androxus should switch their ulti. I mean drogoz needs to stay in mid range so why the heck the ulti makes him dive into enemy rank with little chance of escaping?he has thrust but it is not as effective as androxus shunpo dash + he has shield too. his hand also makes him viable for 1 hit punch kill ulti. And androxus ulti flying up in sky and shoot? drogoz can do that too.

I can understand not being good at videogames, but to not learn from obvious mistakes like this... I'm either playing with RU/BR 8 year olds or legitimately mentally challenged subhumans. How do these people have access to a computer? I don't understand.

>Check out enemy BK load out

>>158363358
People marked with the turret's line of sight take more damage from your shotgun. Also use Healing Station IV.

Would you bother playing if you had 115ping? I still get top damage almost every game on ranked but I really need to lead my all my shots and the ping is noticeable especially with projectile characters

>>158363401
They can also be double marked if both turrets aim at them for big damage.
Try to spread your turrets out though so 1 AoE attack doesn't pop em.

>>158363401
>>158363460

>>158363484

>>158363484
3 or 4

>>158363484
Rank 2 as >>158363515 said, more is a waste due to most people's damage output.

>>158363426
I play with a ping of 100 minimum. It's also incredibly volatile, deviating upwards in a range of 50-150 constantly. Packets frequently drop, lag spikes occur often (an interesting side effect of these two is that Drogoz' fire spit won't render but you can still shoot it. Rockets also seem to disappear every now and then.)
My two most played heroes are Evie and Drogoz. I don't play ranked, but I've got a 4.0 KDA at least one both heroes and am ~1900 Elo (2000 neverever) soloqueueing on 2 accounts.

i usually just wake up at 1 AM and squeeze in as much time relatively lag free as I can.
>tfw still often get 100 ping even at these hours

I don't find it that bad with Drogoz, Evie, or Cassie. I find this shitty internet to make BK absolute hell, though.

>>158363426
I get anywhere between 90 to 120 on NA and it doesn't seem too bad with drogoz. The projectile inheritance screws me more than ping.

>>158363426
I feel I'm lucky with the Australian servers cause I get a constant 30-40 ping.

I should be lucky anyway because Paladins having Australian servers is only because Smite has them.

Spring Tide II - Salvage II - Tidal Grace II - Leviathan II - Barrier Reef IV
Because they'll get wrecker and it's more likely I'll be doing more defensive play.

someone in the ob36 patch notes thread said Buck's shotgun spread has been increased in the upcoming patch

if that's true then RIP train man

>>158364462
how do you decide if the enemy team is competent ? can you change your loadout after you respawn?

>>158365048
No, but based on the relatively small pop of the AUS servers you can tell sometimes. Plus if the enemy team is Drogoz + Ruckus and shit like that your shield is probably gonna get melted but if they're silly and pick all flanks or something you're okay.

why do plebs do this

>>158365123
thank you :)

>>158365326
I find it's mostly younger teens/kids that do this.

>>158325864
I was in a game against Drogoz, Bomb King, Fernando and Pip yesterday and my team still bought haven.

>>158363426
80~ ping seems fine to me for this game's characters. Playing OW with Tracer against 1 digit ping gooks is fucking hell though.

>>158362872
It's using the stock character profile screen. This is PotG in its most basic form.

Watch, we're gonna pay gold/crystals for PotG poses or some shit.

What is the best card, and why is it cauterize?

>>158366607
It's one of the best all round good damage cards. Wrecker otherwise.

thanks familia you made me feel better for my shit ping

Actually I feel like reload speed is pretty mandatory on kenessia, and don't even play that skunk bitch.

Grohk is pretty shit to be honest.

Besides his main attack which is pretty decent, all his abilities are outshown by everyone else. Your totem can get destroyed easily by snipes unlike Mal'Damba's gourds which not only heals teammates but causes DOT damage to enemies who step over it. Your spirit walk is okay to walk out of a jiffy, but the time limit is so low that by the time you reach a good enough distance enemies will spot and probably hail gun fire at you. And your ultimate is absolute garbage. You do piss damage, its purpose only serves to slow enemies in you vicinity and does little healing affect to allies.

His "chirpy" humor attitude doesn't help either when you constantly have to hear it.

He was my second character I bought because I so like the entire premise of an Orc Shaman wielding powers of the elements and spirits, but I was left with a disappointing character.

>>158366607
Cauterize provides the most overall utility for a team under the assumption there is at least one support (or someone who uses a lot of self-regen/lifesteal like Buck or Cassie).

>>158331247
what the fuck are those siege changes
>The team that captures the Objective gains an additional 300 credits per player.
as there were not enough one-sided stomps before

>>158366753
I remember there was a time that I thought kill the heal was the best, but now I know the truth.

>>158366786
grohk is super annoying up until the enemy starts getting haven II. then you're kind of shit.
I think with the new Mal'Damba changes he has potential to be very strong.

>>158366753
>Get Veteran as a frontliner
>Enemy dps wittle me down to about 2/5 HP

>Back to full while still in the middle of the field because enemy DPS just ignore me when I have shield up

>>158367245
Does that only work with Ruckus, run away with a shield protecting you 360 degrees?

>>158367542
People ignore Ruckus's trachcan tier shield because they tear through it so easily. I was doing this earlier today as a Makoa. Also works as a Fernando if you aren't on top of their dicks.

Then again I play against shitters 99% of the time so it could just be that

EVERY.FUCKING.TIME

So Buck is actually OK now, right?

>>158368045
>Have both on the same team
>Enemy team going ham on mid and focus firing on the support, then the tank while their one edgelord takes out our Kinessa with ease
>Kinessa bitches at the Skye to take out their flanker
>None of them actually hit the enemy and are just getting raped on respawn

Truly a waste

Cassie and Kinessa sent me friend invites after this match.
What do you think, /palg/, should I accept?

As a damage dealer (Cassie in particular), am I doing a good job if I'm getting far more assists than kills myself? I usually stay behind the front lines, I hit some guy who then gets finished by someone else on my team.

>>158368751
If your damage makes them run away that's good. As long as you do enough damage to the enemy dps.

>>158366786
they need to lower the cooldown of totems so he's more of a snowballing support who spams totems until the entire battlefield is littered with them

>>158366795
If you see the meme rev build on the enemy buck, cauterize is mandatory

>>158369290
That's ying.

I wish they expanded the scoreboard a little so you don't have to toggle a button to see what cards your enemy is using or what items they bought
