Nope

Only DoT hero is Iggy & Scorch (F- tier hero right now) and there are two cards that let you proc poison but they're not very good

Hopefully one of the next few heroes will be a poison hero

It's got that new general smell.

Anyway: want to try one more tonight, but not sure if it should be with /parag/. I can see us turning on and devouring one another at the first bump in the road. Also: the game tries to match stacks with stacks, and if it can't, it "balances" things by putting the stack up against a bunch of more experienced players. The problem is, if we're not in voice comms, we may as well solo queue.

He's apparently trash-tier in "competitive" play, according to Reddit.

But I've been demolished by him plenty of times. Get his rocket dash escape down, combine it with your ult and it's tiny cooldown, and you've got a good initiator/ squishy slayer.

Interested in getting into this game, as I'm lookin for a mobile that isn't leeg or Dota. The deck system isn't great imo but the crafting thing should help offset.

Im kind of unclear how jungle works exactly, or what heroes are junglers.

Ive only played a few coop vs AI games, and so far I like fengmao, serath and countess. I haven't really played much ranged ones yet but gadget and murdock seem to shit damage, and Belica seems fun.
>>
>>167470245
My advice to you is to build either or. Basically if you want more mana go with either mana regen OR mana, not both. The mana regen is so small if you split it up it means nothing.

I prefer not to build mana on squishy champs because of Lt. Belica. If you grt her on the opposing team and were building mana and ran out, you get 1 shot. I play Belica and 1 shot muriels all the time

I will share my cards for Muriel, what you choose to upgrade them with is based on you but use mostly spark/chrono and armors

3 Elysian Diamonds, 1 Lantern of Spring, 1 or 2 Thorned Greenweave or Snakevine Mesh or Spiked Boneplate

I used to build Honor the pure but the shield got nerfed badly and wastes card points.

Reminder you can only equip max 6 cards
I usually equip 5 and a ward card unless I don't have the card for it. I know I use Assassins ward but the ward cards waste on other champs for my playstyle.
>>
>>167470390
Belica > everyone
People underestimate the drone
Hilarious when people get shot for ulting like Gideon, Khaimera, Twinblast and Gadget
>>
>>167471002
What is with strike and cast? They are both the same amount of power and cost the same. Were both cards meant to be for physical and ability damage but they just decided to make them both power the one that buffs both of those attacks?
>>
>>167471189
>>167471002
also if an equip has 3 upgrade slots that means you only have to upgrade 3 times to get the bonus if it has one but you can upgrade it 6 times if you wanted? Should I always just have 6 cards on equips but only go for 3 for the bonus in game?
>>
>>167471189
Before the monolith update strike was physical damage (AD) and cast was Energy damage (AP)
Now they're power. There's no AP or AD. It's all scaled with Power and the main difference is the source(auto attacks (basic) and abilities)

On the bright side you won't run out of power upgrades
>>
>>167471435
All cards only have 3 upgrade slots. You can only upgrade 3 cards and can't discard upgrades from the card.

Some cards have a passive that is there regardless of completion of upgrades. Others have BONUSes that require completion of upgrades. Same with actives.

So if you wanted to add a 6 or 8pt card to your deck just for the passive/active you don't even have to fill it.

Jungle works like that: the white camps in the jungle fill gradually with neutral creeps to kill, so if you don't want to get overwhelmed on lower levels you have to clear them regularly. Killing jungle creeps in your jungle fills up your amber link(the big orb in your jungle) which in regular intervals distributes all the xp stored in it to your team. Enemies can attack your Ember Link to steal the xp in it, and you can do the same with theirs. Also bump, you're not dying on me. Anyone playing today?
>>
>>167478426
It's still in the beta you know, they're trying to figure out how to make it as good as possible. And you got to admit it's still far from that.

hey guys, just got to know this game.
how do i git gud?
fave hero is kwang
i understand the abilities and all, jungle takes time to get used to, but the card thingy is really not my thing.
i mean, i read guides on what to get for kwang, just to find out i dont have the cards i need. probably need to play more to unlock em, or do i craft em?
and love the fact that they are actually giving out new heroes every what, few weeks?
>>
>>167478918
Are voice lines really burdening? I don't really know much about the subject, but I just wouldn't suspect so.
>>167489231
Kwang is great, one of my favourite melee fighters too. Kind of hard for beginners but if you are able to play him well, good for you. Yes you can craft cards that you're missing, it's a great way to get them, but you're going to need some unused cards to convert, so you'll probably have to play more anyway. Keep an eye out for weekly challenges and weekly card packs in the store, it's a good way to get any particular cards you might be missing. They release a new character every 3 weeks, apart from holidays.
>>
Well, guess I'm confirmed for being only Eurofag on 4chan playing paragon.

>>167489763
Yes. It costs a lot of money and takes a lot of resources to stick in 15-30 minutes of voice lines.

These champs dont even have taunts built in

So any tips for someone just starting off? Are the tutorials useful?
>>
>>167501348
>Are the tutorials useful?

Not really
>>
>>167501348
Here are some basic tips:

use agora.gg for deck ideas

Pay attention to basic meta and who starts in what lane

Have a deck for every role (jungler, mid laner, off laner, support, carry)

Don't play underpowered heroes, hero balance is in a bad spot right now

>>167503667
>Don't play underpowered heroes, hero balance is in a bad spot right now
Which heroes are underpowered?
>>
>>167474789
I used to play Smite a lot with my friends.

It takes a lot of setup for a single hero to 100-0 any enemy with a kit dump. No more "Oh, Agni showed up, I am now dead."

Melee basic attackers are much better because the movement speed debuff is tiny compared to Smite's.

Not every hero has hard cc, and fewer still have more than ~1s. Many have slows to help land their abilities, but being made to stand still for 10 seconds doesn't happen.

The card system is decent, I like it because you can premeditate situational building. Then again, I was a Battle Network fanboy, so take that as you will.

Damage Steel is a beast, and that guy was building attack speed to boot. Probably a smurf who knew he could get out of most situations with Steel's Bullrush and just roamed picking on defenseless noobs.
I tried building him tank (3500 health plus some armour) and he still got fucked because of the pure damage meta. We're still a few patches away from that being fixed, I reckon, though the latest blog post says they're focusing on Matchmaking and overhauling the Card system.

Is this weird? What's wrong with Universals?
>>
>>167506657

>>
>>167478713
Unreal engine 4 is extremely optimized.
>>
>>167506657
There's most likely a better card and better way to build. Not that you shouldn't build any but from what I understand you don't have any basic pen, decent ward card or health bonus.
Someone with a affinity build will outplay and destroy you. I do it all the time.

It's like Universal Murdock versus Fury Murdock. I recommend Assassins ward on Serath and don't build that shielding shit.

They're unlocked at level 8, and at least Grux, Gideon, Rampage and Murdock have voice lines. Murdock's Seven Shot Salute has at least three variant laughs.
>>
>>167512664
every character has voice lines if we are talking about grunts n shit.
>>
>>167504921
According to this:
>https://www.reddit.com/r/paragon/comments/5r062g/competitive_paragon_tier_list_based_on_pcl3/
Iggy, Grim and Crunch. But I've seen Crunch and Grim played very well. That said, I've not been in Platinum/ Diamond, so maybe they're just viable in lower Elos. Just don't pick Iggy.
>>
>>167512810
I guess. But they're not going to be monologuing: any spoken voice line will be maybe three times the length of a grunt or laugh, I can't imagine a few slightly larger files for each character will make or break optimisation.
>>
>>167512841
pros in stream say crunch is a beast so ill take that list with a grain of salt
>>
>>167511329
Looks like it, but the placement matches are pretty easy-going: learn a fighter, carry or jungler to fill out your roles.
Casters can basically work on any lane, most junglers apart from Khaimera can do support and offlane pretty well, too (I've seen mid and support Kallari, but it's rare).

>>167514854
do you solo queue with supps?
>>
>>167516571
I solo que as muriel yes

I always play support for now. If I didn't I'd feel like no one would be support except for the one guy who plays carry but gets one ward item.

This low ELO sucks. There should be win streak bonuses or something. It's taking forever to get to the point where warding matters. Trying to shield anyone almost feels like shit mana mangement because they will just run backwards and get themselves killed anyway or try to 3v1.

>>167535236
Why did you assume I play with no mic? Actually, that's part of the issue. I played with a set of people for a very long time that seemed to never really improve at the game. We would lose like 24 games in a row.

They've stopped playing since and I've formed a new group with the actual good player from the old one and we've been going on huge winning streaks. I had to climb all the way out of bronze back into silver but this shit is taking forever.
>>
>>167535640
Man I'm feeling like that with the friends who got me into this game. Me and one other do pretty well every match and when we queued as just us two we ended up in a match where we destroyed, but the other teammates were very helpful with that.

Then with our full 5 people group we lose every match. I try to give them tips and suggest what they should do within my knowledge since I can't tell the jungler what to actually do I don't know anything about it. But it's not fun to lose every match
>>
>>167537090
Yeah, if your entire five man isn't strong you may as well not even bother because you'll just get paired against other squads of people who actually have a gameplan.

Luckily for me, the weaker players just kind of gave up on the game so it wasn't so hard to stop playing with them.
>>
>>167538442

It adds a significant MMR raise to you if you're playing in a five-stack. This means harder opponents. Better to play with randoms than feeders.

They're probably going to add a seperate mode in the near future and maybe do a sort of elo reset. Agora and Fury differentiate between early access and open beta. So when the game leaves beta it's a fresh start.

Honestly just play, get good, win games. If you're not even level 50 and worrying about your current elo, it's pointless. You might win like 20 games in a row before hitting level 50 and your elo will change.

Eventually you'll start carrying games. I know I once pushed top lane as Serath like tryndamere and simply ended the game to go to work, killed 3 people who tried to stop me. My entire team was still at base like idiots.

In short just focus on improving yourself and your elo will catch up. The way those websites calculate elo is hardly accurate. You can go to agora.gg click on a diamond or challenger elo and it'll show some shitty kda and negative win loss.

Am i reading it right when it says you get mana regen when you increase your base mana? The ui and the many cards that have redundant effects make me think I should be wary of what the game tells me.

>going full mana regen sucks
It doesn't actually.
You don't need too much mana regen, on Belica and Fey I take enough so that by the time I get to the other side of the map or another lane most of my mana returned. 8 or 9 mana per second is really efficient and doesn't take sacrificing power to achieve.

However if you build simply a few low level Spark/Chrono cards it's not going to make much of a difference

And remember folks, lifesteal scales off of how much damage you do and that's why fucktards like Murdock heal for so fucking much. Who thought crit healing was a good fucking idea.

You get free decks as you level. I bought two decks but now I only use 5 out of the 8 free slots I have
You can craft cards now so if you're not even level 20, don't even bother. By the time you hit 25 you'll have most of the cards available from opening free chests and completing dailies

>>167550873

Actual G here. The only, ONLY thing you should spend Rep on is 10k card packs until you have the majority of the cards, then ONLY scrap cards for crafting with "Unique" effects that are in excess of 2 in your inventory. ("Unique" means the stated effect can only apply once, e.g. crit bonus).

Buying master challenges with Rep is ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH IT unless you are already Level 10 or near it with that hero, and buying the MC will get you the Level 6+ rewards retroactively. Before Level 6, all the MC gets you is the challenger skin and an insultingly trivial 5% XP boost (towards hero levels, not in-game anything).

Even the rewards after Level 6 (three master tributes, an emote, and a master skin) are not really anything special, and certainly not worth the 75k rep you could've gotten 35+ cards out of. It's just a prestige signifier, and the MCs only ultimately make sense if you bought fucking all of them (up to 39 heroes) for $100 with the Master Founder's Pack last year like I did. Even then, that's only if you worship the game and wish to support Epic in saving this genre with actual graphics.

10k card packs. That is all you need. Get all the cards, then consider dropping money for swag. You get half-off on coins by buying the Paragon Essentials Edition on PS4 for $30, which comes with $60 worth of coins (6000 coins).

If spending coins, the optimal strat is to only buy keys for 200 coins to open the crates you win in matches, which guarantee a reward valued at 500 coins or higher, with no dupes. If you are fucking down in it with this game, get a month-long Rep or XP boost and let yourself go.

You do not need all the cards, you seriously do not need to spend any money on this game, you especially don't need master challenges.

But first priority is cards, of course.

You can't craft cards if you don't have A LOT OF THEM to scrap already, and the best way to get A LOT OF cards is

10k card packs

10k card packs

10k card packs

I was just five cards short of the complete collection on the day they implemented card crafting, and I had to scrap a decent amount to cover the cost of those remainders. Crafting is not how you acquire cards overall; it's how you fill in urgent gaps if need be. The cost is balanced so that you lose much more than you gain when crafting.

10k card packs

Do not let anyone mislead you

So you'd probably be able to 100% your deck after opening those packs.

Or master challenges for free shit and more chests

I meant no imagination in terms of constructing decks.

Which is forgivable in the current meta since they nerfed what few active cards that didn't suck so all you basically need is stats.

Once you get past the lack of frontend polish and misguided attempt at hand-holding, it's actually much more intuitive than games with 200 items you have to learn off the bat.

They're remaking the card system this year anyway.

at work atm but I'll play with you later

>>167555917
So let me know if I got it right, I should buy packs until I get most of the cards and I should always dismantle any copies of a card that has "unique" effects.
>>
>>167593556

You should keep 2 copies of Unique cards because it's possible you might swap one out for the other with different upgrades during the game. Any more than that is unnecessary.

And yes, keep buying 10k card packs.
>>
>>167593556
>because it's possible you might swap one out for the other with different upgrades during the game

To clarify this, it's optimal to rush your first 3 cards with 1-1-1 upgrades for the completion bonus (or Unique effect), then swap them out for 3-3-3 or whatever to total 60 by endgame.

You should also have at least nine 1-cost Power cards (either of them; they're the same rn), and I recommend buying them in bulk when they're in weekly card packs. Always buy the weekly when there's cards in it that you don't have.
>>
Btw what's the opinion on loot crates? I got a few and pulled mostly bad (12 day reputation boost three times......), but I also got undertow Gideon which looks fucking sick. Between mine and my friends, it seems HEAVILY weighted toward boosts
>>
>>167597534
Well it is, it even tells you that on the crate opening screen. I got only one boost out of 4 ones I opened though.
>>
>>167597534

Only buy keys, never crates. You win crates from playing matches on a pretty generous drop rate. Keys are harder to come by but they only cost a buck each if you get your coins half-off from the Essentials Edition.

You are guaranteed a reward of 500 coins or more, with no dupes, so since that is 2.5x the value of a key I'd say it's the best way to spend coins unless there's a particular thing you really want.

>>
>>167603334

If you're playing against bots, STOP. Do not ever play bot games, they are kill-yourself boring.

If this is your first MOBA, you're playing it like a slow and shitty musou game. Stop, and focus on map control and consistently getting last hits. The game has a stronger sense of rhythm than any other MOBA because everything is manual and direct. Listen to the minion shots, watch the health bars, only attack for the killing blow, and savor the reward chime that sounds like Sega AM2.

Within a few hours of paying attention and not doing unnecessary things, it will click.

>>167605563
I'm playing it on PS4, maybe that's why it's bad.
>>
>>167605830

She's OP, but this is mitigated by several factors:

1) She's new, so all the shitters will pick her every chance they get.

2) She doesn't do significant damage, only CC.

3) Her kit is hard-counterable by Purity Clense, as a last resort.

4) She replaces Greystone as the cancer of the month, and this is the most important thing.

Also her kit is cool as hell and really takes advantage of the Z-axis, especially her walls which can reach and block areas like nobody can.
>>
>>167606154
>She replaces Greystone as the cancer of the month
did they nerf him? i had lots of fun carrying as him and still though he was a bit ridiculous
>>
>>167606086

HotS is a MOBA but it has no concept of laning and last-hits, so it's just constant objective YARR HARR EVERYBODY TO THE TREASURE CHEST 5v5 teamfights the whole game, which will give you ADD.

Paragon, like other full MOBAs, demands that you think about and take advantage of where you are and who you're with rather than clumping up every 2 minutes at the central spot the announcer indicates for the obligatory teamfight so the lanes can push themselves afterwards.
>>
>>167606320
My friend does pretty good at greystone, but I think the issue is that Aurora is so fucking annoying and can come off as VERY overpowered to people so they want to pick her.

Just realize that aurora can basically stun you and keep you from dealing damage for many seconds at a time with only 2 abilities, and if you try to do anything she will be gone. That's the gist of it

Cleanse card for some affinities, and if she doesn't hit her Hoarfrost she loses half her damage.

I hope they don't nerf Aurora because if she doesn't get fed early or have good cards she doesn't do as much damage as compared to Countess who will btfo you since she's made to burst and her ult has a shorter CD.

Countess relies on auto attacks and I've survived many times while being ulted or stunned. Lastly shit like Grim.exe,anything with a stun or bleed like Rampage and Grux, khaimera, and ofc your favorite fucker Kallari can easily catch her.

>>167609951
As long as her stun isn't point and click, and that she honestly will be dueling with 1 or 2 abilities unlike Countess or Serath, Lt Belica, Gadget, Gideon, she's extremely balanced right now.

Plus that's like saying an Aurora on the enemy team can't catch her either. They can. Her ult has Muriel tier CDs because of how good it is. Building resistances easily helps.

>People walk into the ring

What's with these complaints man. Don't even post on the paragon forums, the best part about the balancing in this game is that you can't just play a champ and be good. Aurora stops moving for a full second while she makes the ring and being on the outside or center is just simply what you have to do.

I bet you niggas think Veigar is broken.
>>
>>167616085
Other than the annoying as shit effects on countess' skills, she's super easy to deal with. For one, I don't need two high-cost cards to SURVIVE against her. Two of her abilities are easy to avoid even if you are a giant fuck of a character, the other two are minor in comparison to aurora who can ALSO avoid dying 24/7 without spending 5 points on blink like some countess builds have to. Aurora is going to fuck you with damage, stun you for longer, and you aren't going to be catching her once it's done or even if you get the drop on her
>>
>>167616494
You're joking right? How is Countess easier to deal with when she can blink towards you, ult you, and use her two other abilities to burst you down and blink back or elsewhere? Let's not forget she's got the GROWTH affinity meaning she can also abuse the ability armor cards that can stack up to 72 power each and give armor as well.
Lets not forget she can also abuse the corruption to make sure your own armor is useless. Let's not forget that you need to be fast as a motherfucker and dash away if she blinks towards you which if you're facing another direction you will not fucking see her. Lets also not forget that she can duel Aurora in her glacial ring.

You clearly haven't gone up against a fed and good Countess if you think Aurora is bad. Aurora can run all she wants but running won't win you the game.

Aurora:
Glacial charge .35 power scale
Hoarfrost .6
Cryoseism .7 90 second cd rank 3

Countess xd

Blade siphon . 75
Shadow slip .5
DARK TIDE .9375
FEAST 1.5 scale 40 SEC CD RANK 3

Tell me she's "easy to deal with" again while you can't dodge a short range circle

All right /parag/, let's talk about ranged carries. Which one do you prefer and why? I have a soft spot for Grim, even if he's a bit underpowered now. Used to obliterate everyone with him on Agora.

Countess isn't building armor (nobody is in this meta), especially since she needs all the damage she can get for her ult scaling (her best asset).

Her ult does like 40% damage at best unless she's unreasonably fed, and she generally has to blow her whole kit for one kill and then she's useless and squishy with no escape (her Q recall is not that good).

Kallari offers far more utility and evasion, and is terrifying in the right hands.

The graphics are sub-actual on base PS4, though I played it there for my first 200 hours anyway. Paragon has the best Pro upgrade of all games tho.

Also, the framerate targets 60 but constantly hitches, the cursor in the shop is slow, and using actives with the d-pad is a pain.

>Can you jump over auroras ring?

>>167618198
>has to blow her whole kit for a kill
No she doesn't. I just gave you the ratios of her abilities. Countess can poke you and blink back, Countess can also blink out of Auroras ult with good timing and out of the ring.

You can't simply DODGE Countess if she's near you, the only thing you can do is stay far back unless you know you can duel.

Since when does Countess' ult do 40% damage? Where did the 60% damage come from? Lastly since we aren't talking about the small pool of high elo, what "meta" are you referring to? Not everyone will build the same or have the same cards. I just told you about a certain build that grants Countess both power and armor. 72 power each card and 7 ability armor. Now think about her base damage and .9 Dark Tides and 1.5 point and click feast.

I highly doubt a non-tank in the damage meta will stack full armor and sacrifice their damage to maybe survive.

Your statement on Kallari is painfully accurate along with Greystone, Gideon and Kwang. Fuck all autistic Kwang players.

Kallari, Greystone, Serath, Dekker, and Rampage can jump out with their abilities.
Khaimera, Countess can get out provided they have another target
Feng mao, Gideon can simply teleport out
Muriel and Howitzer can use their ults to escape

The upgrade cards are proportional.
Power cards increment by 6
Mana regen by .3
Mana by 50
Health by 50
Lifesteal by 2.5
Health regen by 1.4
Penetration by 6

Etc
The reason to use upgrades above is to A) bc you ran out of 3 pt cards and only have 1 2 and 4 or 5
B) to stack more on fewer cards
C) to use only one of that type of card (ie. Mana) then use lower point health or other cards
In the end there is no bonus to using a 4 point card over two 2 pts or a 3pt 1pt
It equals the same thing.
Just like the fact that you can equip 5 cards if they all have 12 points on them and 6 if they have 10 points

Hopefully they start adding bonuses for matching affinity.

>>
>>167632334
Minions only.
>>
>>167636040

It depends on the hero.

As Khaimera, I start with the Beastmaster's Key and level the regen ability. I go to the right (always start on the right) and kill the three white camps which gets me to Level 2 and then I level Hack. I take the green camp, clear a couple whites that have respawned, then jump over to the left via the bounce pad and clear those with the green buff explosion. By 4 minutes exactly I'll have about 3 spare card points and I recall, scrap the key, and build my first attack card with 1-1-1.

I have done this too many times.

Also don't attack the minions on anyone's lane while they are there. It's fucking rude and pushes the lane for them, which makes them more vulnerable and fucks up their farm. It's good to defend towers when laners recall, though.

Because I had the space and I use more than half in a game. Usually start with health pot and phial with ward. Drop health pot for overflowing. Drop phial for mana potion.

They don't have an completion bonus and with what I end up when 6 slotted it allows me to end at 60cp.

>>
>>167643831

You don't ever want 4-point upgrades because it makes it harder to use all your unspent points whenever you recall (or die).

Having unspent points EVER after leaving base is suboptimal and you have to do the math to mitigate it as much as possible.

The 4-4-4 would only make sense if you were swapping into it, but that would take two cards already.

You're not getting it.

It's not about totaling 60; it's about making sure you never have unspent points DURING THE GAME.

If your last three upgrades are 4-4-4 and you find yourself at base with only 3 points that you can't spend, that is suboptimal.

We're going to need Discord for voice chat but Discord is what killed this general before, last year, because it identifies everyone and people have a tendency to live in the channel, leeching discussion from the threads. Much drama was also caused.

What the fuck

Why can melee heros and creeps clip into you making it so you have to aim completely horizontally down into the floor to shoot anything. They need to give him a larger hit box that matches his fucking size because it's almost impossible to hit anyone if they clip into your body. The hit box for his basic attack is also extremely small and it makes muriel feel like she shoots logs compared to him. Do support character have auto aim or something then? And then his concussive blast thing sometimes doesn't push anyone away or it pushes them in a completely random direction or even teleports them.

They really need to remove the CP limit too. Players who plan for long game should be rewarded instead of just everyone is lvl 15 60 cp. Games would end faster if there wasn't a ceiling that allows the other team to catch up literally forcing you to even up.
>>
>>167606484
>last hits
>thinking a design flaw is something that should be strived for
>>
>>167649994

It's only a "design flaw" in clicker MOBAs because it looks retarded (the way they spaz about in lane and interrupt their own attack animations and kill their own fucking minions) and feels shitty due to the inherent latency and indirectness of the controls.

In Paragon it's satisfying and hypnotic, encouraging you to be there and punctuate every death, rather than indifferently flailing about and "soaking" between forced teamfights in spastic HotS.

Really, that word: "soaking". It's so depressing.

Paragon also refers to the concept as the "killing blow", and it'll never catch on sadly.

>They really need to remove the CP limit too. Players who plan for long game should be rewarded instead of just everyone is lvl 15 60 cp. Games would end faster if there wasn't a ceiling that allows the other team to catch up literally forcing you to even up.

Their stated goal is to have the game end before anyone reaches max CP. You're supposed to act decisively, take objectives, push and win the game within each opportunity window. They don't want Farmville.

Also, if some players plan their decks for some 90CP endgame autistic Diablo-style build, it causes a conflict of interest with their neurotypical teammates.
>>
>>167649979
>Games would end faster if there wasn't a ceiling that allows the other team to catch up literally forcing you to even up.

A CP cap causes you to stop doing things that actually slow the game down: namely, farming. And once everyone is max level, a decisive teamfight and wipe will end the game.

As someone who was an Unreal fan since he was a kid, I unfortunately have to agree. Epic tends to just throw in whatever they think looks cool without caring for coherency.

If anyone wants to play during European afternoons I'm willing to join. Unfortunately I kinda suck since they introduced monolith. I've been playing since the early access, but since I prefer "high risk high reward" tactics in most games, which don't really work well in mobas it took me months on Agora to learn how not to die too often. I usually had pretty good stats by the end of legacy though. Unfortunately, still haven't learned it on Monolith since I didn't have that much time to play. I also have few non lurking friends who play pretty good.

Just had a horrible game as Steel, one of my worst with any character really. What the fuck is this new meta of playing two people in the enemy safe lane? When it's my team, the carry goes without support. When it's their team, it's impossible to take the tower (just went up against an Aurora and Greystone who were in a call together: it was hell) and our offlaner can't manage to take left side despite it being a straight 1 v 1.
Is it a new meta, or am I just getting retard teams/ genius enemy teams?

>letting your enemy teams carry farm safely
>actually jungling and getting less farm than laning while not contesting enemy carrys farm and the only way to get enough experience and cp is to gank but you can only do this is if the enemy team decides to just not run wards

2/1/2 is the best format that requires the most amount of skill and counter play. Jungle is the biggest meme role and needs to get out.
>>
>>167664373
Jungle distributes points to the entire team: it should be a necessary role that forces a good jungler to strike a balance between ganking and keeping the team fed.
>>
>distributes

no m8 it makes it so enemy carry gets guaranteed farm because even if jungle attempts to gank that lane it's 2v2 and the offlaner has to just collect scraps and ask nicely to even be allowed near creeps crippling himself with no cp or exp. Assuming the jungle decides to gank offlane to interrupt the enemies carry you would in reality just be taking a walk from jungle farming to step into the enemy teams ward and have to crawl back into the jungle with lost time since they can just back.

It's like when your kids and you play monopoly and you make up a rule that no one has to pay rent to anyone for the first 20 turns because you want to farm up safely with no player interaction because you know you would get your shit slapped if you played the way the game was meant to be played.

>>
>>167665410
A good jungler makes the enemy team afraid to push too hard, meaning they have to invest in wards early or get jumped when they overextend.
Buying wards early means they don't start their build proper early unless they make wards part of their build (I do, and it's one of the first things I buy). A jungler, done right, is the wild card that keeps everyone on their toes because he could be anywhere at any time. I don't push a tower unless I have support, wards, or can see that the enemy jungler is in a different lane: it promotes good map awareness, and without it, all you'd need is a ping from a lane to know that someone's not where they're supposed to be in order to retreat.
2-1-2 is just a mindless microcosm of the TDM bullshit you see most games; junglers keep you on your toes and punish reckless pushing.

He's the worst hero in the game by far now and his turrets feed the enemy team 60 amber per.

Since tank isn't viable now and his turrets aren't viable, he's shit.

Well Overwatch has shit tone of porn, but waifus were their main marketing strategy. Paragon devs only recently realised that they need more cuties to make the game relevant. Still I would expect where to be at least few drawfags in the playerbase willing to draw some porn of female characters by now. After all Sparrow, Gadget and Dekker were there since the beginning and they're all good r34 material.

Nope. I AM getting it. Because I calculate my decks before I play I always spend my card points appropriately. It's not just calculating up to 60 it's calculating what points you're going to spend this value or that value.
To correct you actually, they removed the 3 card points at a time for the sole reason of people not always having 3 point cards.

It's not suboptimal to have card points to spend at all. It's currency. You only have 500 gold when you recall in league of legends, you gonna buy something and then sell it to buy something else? That's not how you build. That's not how you beed to build in Paragon. Learn how to farm, pretty silly to think you need to constantly equip a card or spend CP

Keys have a significantly lower drop rate than crates, such that you will need to buy them to open all the crates you receive.

For 200 coins, a key (and crate) guarantees you a reward of 500 coins or more, with no dupes, and a chance for exclusive skins.

I don't give a fuck about skins and don't want any in particular, so getting a random one for 60% off with the chance of something great makes more sense.

Also, I'll get around to playing all the heroes. I don't limit myself like an autist.

You're so stupid. In every moba you olay every hero to understand them and choose what playstyles or heroes you want to master.

This game is lit and I still play all kinds of others in all other genres, more variety than anyone else I've seen from 4chan, but this is the only MOBA I need.

Besides, with quad-boosting and events it shouldn't take longer than a couple thousand hours, which isn't extreme for a MOBA. It's not like any other dev is putting out competition in this arena.

Finally played my first pvp match after trying a handful of heroes in bot matches. I'm pretty sure they put me with people who haven't really played mobas before. Gideon seems pretty strong, even with the default card set. Should I try and prioritize ability pen or just straight power in the future? Also, should I be shooting for offlane or mid with gid?

Lastly, I got 100k points, what get?
>>
>>167727201
I have a friend who plays Belica but he doesn't seem to do very good at all with her.

On the other hand I just switched to Grux to try it out in player matches and holy shit ezmode
>>
>>167730190
How do you have 100k points? It took me forever to get 76k for my first mastery, but my friend had shitloads by that time, multiple masteries to my ONE.

Am I missing something.
>>
>>167730303

Your friend probably dropped dosh. $100 Master Founder's Pack gets you the first 39 master challenges. That's gone but there are various other bundles.

Best way to spend money on this game is buying the Essentials Edition twice lol

>tfw you are about dunk on the enemy team as muriel

Is there even a better feeling

>>167731338
But did the guy I quoted buy dosh? 100k of what I assume is rep he meant, after only a few bot matches and 1 pvp obviously not standard then
>>
>>167733356

I actually have no idea how you could get 100k rep as quickly as he implies, even with spending.

For what it's worth, the past week was a Double XP / Rep event, and PS+ members got 10-day XP and Rep boosts on top of that.

>>167727267
>But she slow though, doesn't even have any zoning or rush attacks
She's not slow and she's a control burst mage. She has Countess tier scaling except she literally prevents people from casting abilities and one shots anything with 0 mana

>>167730213
That's because she isn't simple to use. She has 2 delayed skillshots, a drone and her ult that requires you exhaust their mana (easy to do actually)

Compared to shit like Khaimera, Grux, Murdock and Greystone she doesn't play like a mindless monkey and win. She's extremely high reward if you master tge usage of her abilities.

Her Q E combo is a fucking death sentence late game

It's 13 o'clock, it can't be pm or am man. Anyway, 1:50 pm right now if you prefer 12 hour system, was mostly looking for some eurofags playing.

Username's sargos. Just a warning, I haven't played too much recently so I kinda suck, dying way too often, I have to return to form. I don't give a fuck about competitive play, so that's not really a that big issue for me, but for this reason I don't recommend anyone actually caring for the best results to play with me at the moment. If anyone just wants to chill with the game during European afternoons though and is looking for someone to play with ask away. I've been playing since the early access and only just fell out in the last month, so I can gladly help some newbies get to know the game.
>>
Who's fun to stick with early on? First two characters I played were Iggy and Narbash, neither of which are apparently great. I enjoy Narbash but wouldn't mind finding someone to better learn the genre with since this is my first MOBA.

Gideon is powerful, fun and easy to play, just as an example. Where do you live? If your playing time is more or less the same as mine I wouldn't mind helping you around a bit.
>>
Bumping. What future characters/type of characters would you like to see? I would definitely like to see some more futuristic designs, especially aliens, the setting is supposed to be at least partially sci-fi after all.
>>
>>167758558
I want to see a wizard with a staff
They mentioned a sorceress in Auroras bio so it's possible
The game has too many aliens already
>>
>>167758558
More band members.
>>
>>167760927
Considering that since Narbash all the new character we had were humans and one robot(and Narbash is some kind of orc, so not really an alien either) I wouldn't say so. There is a shit tonne of humans and fantasy-esque characters in other mobas already, if you've finally made a sci-fi moba let me play futuristic characters!

A mage with a staff would be dope though, as long as he/she doesn't shoot the projectiles out of the staff like Dekker, that would be boring. Instead he/she should just use the stuff to channel the energy and aid her/himself in casting or something, or be a melee character beating up faggots up with a staff in addition to casting spells. I think that sorceress from Aurora's lore is highly possible to be a future character, seeing that Bellica was mentioned in Murdock's lore before being introduced.

On topic of mages, why do you think Gideon has holes in his hands? To channel cosmic energy through them or something like that?
>>
>>167761625
That'd be cool. Melee basic attacks with low mana cost ranged spells that have a quick cooldown.
>>
>>167761625
>were all human
Countess is not Human
Aurora is not Human
Serath is corrupted so I'll give you that

Aurora, Countess, Feng Mao, Grux, Howitzer, Iggy Scorch, Khaimera, Rampage, Severog, Fey, and Narbash are all Aliens. That's half the roster. Crunch, Steel, Grim.exe, and Muriel are robots
The rest are human. Gideon not sure

More robots and a wizard should be added

>Human with grey skin

Totally aliens. Feng Mao at least has a strange face. You know what I mean, I want some actually alien design. The fact that only actually alien looking characters we have except for Howitzer are savages and Howitzer sits in a standard looking mech is really disappointing. I would really like to see some actually advanced alien warriors with futuristic guns/swords/armours whatever and looking like aliens, not reskinned humans or fantasy creatures. We have other mobas for that.

>>167762576
An octopus-like character would be fun. Midrange melee tentacle hits, maybe an ability so you can swim underground and grab people to root them or ink an area to speed up teammates.

Tentacle hits would probably be kinda goofy, but I like the ink escape mechanic idea. It doesn't even have to give a buff, it could do exactly what it does irl: obscure enemies' field and clarity of vision. Although that would be rather problematic to implement

>>167764120
He is, you can see fragments of his actual face behind it when you look at him from certain angles. Arguably it might not look entirely human though. Still, even if he's an alien, he's a savage/beast alien. My point is that every "alien" character we have so far except for Howitzer, Iggy and Grim would fit right in if you'd put them in a fantasy world. Since we have futuristic looking humans and robots, I would really like to see some futuristic looking aliens as well. Basically something in style of Murdock's biohazard skin, but as a separate, unique character. An alien soldier or bounty hunter. An alien priest. An alien space pirate. An alien paladin. There is a lot of possibilities with that which would actually make use of the setting.
>>
>>167765058
Oh, there is also Steel, I forgot about him.
>>
>>167765058
No. Don't ask for futuristic aliens. We will get Guardians of the Galaxy green people and blue people
>>
>>167765225
Well that's exactly the thing I don't want. Basically I would like to more see characters that are:
1.Futuristic looking
2.Are not humans, robots or humans with different skin colour.

At least give me Mass Effect or Star Wars looking aliens, I would be perfectly satisfied with that.

How about something like Deep Blue from Kameo? He was an octopus thing that can shoot blasts of water as a ranged attack, he has the grab from underground as well. His ult could send him under and grab everyone still within a circle while damaging them. I thought of ink as a vision obscurer but it might be kind of bullshit for a MOBA in teamfights.

Had to google that, but yeah, I think that wouldn't be bad, especially since there is no water themed character yet. The problem with ink cloud would be that unless it would be impossibly big you could still see what's going on outside of it and where your enemies are. Perhaps it could simply slow and silence enemies.

NINTENDO HAS MASTERED THE UNREAL ENGINE, SAYS MIYAMOTO

http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/nintendo-has-mastered-the-unreal-engine-says-miyamoto/0178506

“That ease of software development has also been felt by Nintendo's internal developers,” Miyamoto said. “Also, even though game software developers in the US and EU are often said to have superior skills to their Japanese counterparts when it comes to software development techniques, Nintendo's software developers have mastered state-of-the-art technologies such as Unreal engine, and their skills can now be compared with those of Western developers. Our developers are more excited than ever to create software.”

He's excellent. Best mid-laner, great escapes, his Q rocket does insane damage at long range, he can clear jungle camps with Q and E (eventually just Q), and his mine can peel teammates and knock enemies under your tower for cheeky kills.

Holy shit I haven't played the game in a while, Countess and Kwang seem cool. What's the consensus on the new characters anyway
>>
>>167736432
Maybe 30 min, give or take. I'm pretty sure the sevarog and I were the only one in the match that had play mobas before.
>>
>>167773283
Countess is considered OP, but I usually go left or right lane, so I don't meet her too often, and when I do, she's ganking with a Khaimera. Kwang isn't considered OP, but my experience with him is slightly better than Countess, which means he's less OP, but he is a monster in the jungle from what I recall
>>
>>167773702
Given the design of the game, it does bring in many new players, but most didn't play any mobas before. I'm one of those guys, but I usually do decently enough
>>
>>167774210
Who are the cancer heros
>>
>>167774386
Thus far, haven't really felt like any of them are. Sure getting spooked by the occasional jungle Khaimera coming out and attacking you from behind, but that's just tactics used right. There is a cancer combo of Muriel and Khaimera ganking, but that's about it. The rest can be handled with the right approach.

>>167774828
Will this game be successful, helpfulanon?
>>
>>167774985
How so? She's a killer at ganking, but usually, she can be handled considering she's squishy as fuck and her only attacks are all melee. So unless she's teamed up, she's not really that dangerous. And even then, as long as you're not solo, you can handle it.

>>167775098
I hope so, but like I keep saying, unless it gets some waifus like LoL or Overmeme, it likely won't. Lewd fanart is a powerful advert tool
>>
>>167774386
Khaimera used to be one, but isn't really any longer. Greystone is annoying as hell, but he got nerfed recently. That's the only 2 I can think of, so no one really at the moment.

Everybody is. Fury is a joke.
>>
>>167787138
>Everybody is
No they aren't. I get paired up with Fury Silvers, Golds, and Bronzies. Rarely a Fury Plat.

I think it's more of a joke to have to win over 100 games to reach the next tier and have no way of increasing your elo gains. Both Agora and Fury are garbage, the only thing accurate are the few top players.
>>
>>167787138
To be fair literally everyone is silver on Agora. I went on the leaderboards and they have thousands of pages. Got to gold at 1400 was on the 256th page. That means 500th or 600th page out of 3646 pages are literally all silver.

By some good luck you get placed in 1400 elo and aren't a bad player you won't have to play in a cesspool of people who don't know how to play to people who clearly have experience.

Competitive play when?
>>
>>167788201

quit your autism over fake numbers going up

Ranked play won't mean anything until they have in place:

1. a healthier population (meaning they start marketing)

2. about 15 more heroes so we can have proper pick / ban

3. actual balance

4. VOICE CHAT

For now just focus on having fun and collecting all the cards

No, there is an actual internal MMR for the game, it is accessible with some tweaking, and Paragon.gg is closest to it overall, with Agora second and Fury having fucking nothing to do with it because Epic counts wins and not personal performance as if you were playing CoD.

Stop abusing the word "objectively" when you're a Fury casual who don't know shit.

She's a support you dingus. Bring her into a teamfight and aim well with your abilities and those bitches won't stand a chance, her stun is god tier.

Alternatively build her for damage, stun and slow them and just watch as they helplessly get obliterated by something supposed to be a support. Surprisingly it works, although there are much better options for damage.

>>167798841
Okay, got any tips? Used to play Belica, but this is very different

>>167798826
No, I was with a Greystone, he sucked balls. Also, the AI is surprisingly similar to PvP experience. I could still go right and get the enemy core to below 30% before the match went full retard and didn't bum rush right
>>
>>167799125
Yeah, I agree. I just started, I played up to level 10 VS bots and then moved on to PvP. Most bot matches were actually harder since they sort of act intelligently. In low-level PvP everyone charges to midlane and you're free to steamroll the right straight to inhib.

>>167799125
You're a support, remember about that. Don't take last hits if your carry is nearby, leave them to him since he needs them more. Almost all her abilities are crowd control, so that's your main role. Her dome is kinda week early on, but causes a powerful slow after fully upgraded which can be used to slow down escaping enemies, or escape from them yourself. Her orb can be hard to hit with, but has a large range and applies the longest stun in game.(it actually stuns for longer, if you hit with it from longer range) Great for stopping escaping(or pursuing) enemies or starting teamfights by neutralising key targets. It can also be used to stop some abilities, for example Gideon's ult and since it deals decent damage can be a finisher. Her ult can be used in a lots of ways of you get creative. Lock dangerous enemies out of the fight, prevent them for escaping, catch them to escape from them yourself, block out paths in the jungle, lock enemies under your towers that are shooting up on them - it's great in right hands. Overall well used Dekker can be probably the most annoying character in the game for enemy team right now. She can also be pretty tanky with a right build.
>>
>>167799997
How is your ELO that low? Not meaning to be harsh, but I just started playing and after 8-9 games and a 50/50 winrate I'm at 1200. Does it make a significant difference that nearly every game I'm at the top of the board on my team?

>How is your ELO that low?
I've been playing since early access and used to suck. I guess that old elo gets factored in and if there were placement matches I probably fucked them up and recovered later.

Taking damage tokens and bullying the shit out of the off laner is a legit strategy. The off lane is a fucking lethal place and there's pretty much no way to out-sustain an aggressive carry/support duo in health, even early on. I have died early as an off laner with no assist from the enemy jungler numerous times, and if my jungler doesn't want to rotate then I have to pretty much just lose the tower or risk feeding the carry.

I started out going crit but realized that shit does not work early game and with all the teleports and dashes I would rather have sustain to push waves and not have to recall for a rematch mid lane.

Can't count how many times I ult and grux, gideon, aurora just dash away, fucking cunts. I build to push and sustain.

Someone recommended thundercleaver, good card you can stack 1 pointers on. I also like using Divine Shield for all these new Aurora mains.

The card combos for crit on corruption fucking sucks when you're not Kallari. I would build it more but I find more value in cards with a 12 power bonus than stacking enough crit to matter. Like you said she has good basic scaling, don't even need crit to do well on her.

For that last guy remember not to scatter too many stats. 12% crit is worthless when you fight a Murdock with 50%

>>
>>167822547
>>167822648
That's what I was saying corruption is shitty for crit.

>>167822807
Nah, crit isn't the only way to build. And you shouldn't be playing to end late game.

Sustain, power, attack speed is good enough. Unlike carries, she actually has an escape and does not need 40% chance to hit 600 when she can shoot straight into the air and dive back down for 300 damage, slow for 300 damage and finish them off with a long range Q.

She's not a marksman she's a fighter. You will regret hoping to crit 40% instead of having more sustain cards when Aurora or Countess ults your ass.
>>
>>167823665
but shes not a fighter.
Shes listed as a murader like all the ranged carries.
Muraders are described by epic as characters who start out weak and carry the mid - endgame. So far only seraph and Ranged ADC's have the murader tag on them. if seraph aint 2 shoting people by that time literally every other fighter is more useful for cc .
>>
>>167824002
Alright well you're right it does say she's melee carry my mistske on that one.
But she still doesn't play entirely the same. She needs to get at close range and unsafe distance to fight.
Unlike ranged carries she's more likely to get evaded, stunned or forced to fly away.

I checked to see what people were doing as builds and it's just a bunch if universal cards. I don't think crit works well for how this game currently plays, but I won't deny that she won't shit out damage. She definitely will, I tried the crit too.

I guess it's how the player wants to play. I recommend for a person who doesn't want to play melee adc, that you ignore the crit. It's not required. I get triple kills early game as Serath with my sustain build and poking.

One more thing, what I do dislike is how people tend to not include affinities in how champs should be or can be played to max potential and it leads to cheese builds like universal melee carry Serath.

Take advantage of your affinities, just like a hero with Fury will stack crit like a motherfucker with 0 problems, use what you can to show them your own benefits.
>>
>>167824798
Sparrows affinity might as well be universal
>>
>>167824486
no sure play her how you want.
But crit does work very well for this game right now. Very well.
>>
>>167824852
Sparrow is fucking garbage
They need to rework her
Also
>not using the Silent Indignation active when she ults for maximum fuckery
Haven't played Sparrow for a while but I'm sure people could make use of some of the affinity cards she has to not get killed in 3 seconds
>>
>>167825038
Crit in this game? Sure. Crit on Serath? No average player is going to pull it off correctly unless the enemy team is really bad or they get carried.
>>
>>167825113
Sparrow is the second best adc right now. and litterally shit out the most damage in the game.
>>
>>167825321
Easily killed if you CC her
Easily neutralized early game if you camp
Can't ult you from base to get free kills
Shit out damage all you want. Won't work if you're dead.
>>
>>167825246
serath is bad in general.
if you wana play her like a fighter she lacks any decent cc or front line capabilities and her escape aint saving her from an adc. along with her ult being nothing more than a basic damage percent boost that stacks in crit hits. if shes not killing things fast i can only image the the enemy team is brain dead and that the adc is retarded if they can't kill a pure power serath.
>>
>>167825321
>play Lt Belica
>see enemy Sparrow with no mana late game
>giggle
>>
>>167825625
Why would you build pure power Serath?
>>
>>167825536
try to camp a good sparrow and dekker combo she will make you her bitch and snipe you though a wall in every team fight just to deal that extra 400 damage to ya when the greystone is bumrushing you.
also whats ur agora.gg elo? i wana see
>>
>>167825719
sure build ur defence on her andstill get 2 shoted mid game by an adc
>>
>>167825536
2 of your 4 points just describe every adc in the game.
>>
>>167825820
>try to camp x and y one time out of 50 games and consider hero extremely viable
I've unironically lost to a Sparrow Dekker last year, but you don't honestly expect that every single game? Before this patch you had Murdock every game and Murdock is still every game. A good combo is definitely not every game unless you're diamond or above, but even below we find a way to deal with it. Who's to say our team doesn't also have a Sparrow and Dekker, who wins? Hmm game of skill really makes you think
>>
>>167826010
>Murdock has stun and knock back
>Twinblast can dash
>Grim has shield
>Howitzer has a bomb that knock backs
Uh did I?
>>
>>167825891
How does building crit guarentee you don't get blown up if your autos never reach your target?
Something something Gideon mains something something Greystone something something Kwang and Feng Mao
I don't think crit will save you either.
>>
>>167826145
at gold elo all i see are dekker and steels and both just happen to be top tier and set up for every adc.

Sparrow as a free fight click that gos through walls has the range of a twin blast ult and deals 400+ damage. thats on cool down every 8 seconds she hits you twice then cleans you up easy. and her ult hes the best team fight damage presence in the game thats not a global ult. (murdick)
>>
>>167826238
>cc an adc they arent ded
what are you doing wrong son?
also grim is shit still
>>
most steams from pro players say sparrow is really good.
Seems not having an escape is an issue for silvers
>>
>>167826419
I see dekker and steels as well, including sparrows twinblast murdock
If it's not a teamfight walk behind her or circle her, always keep moving to dodge her long range poke (you honestly shouldn't get hit by that more than a couple of times)
This game gives mobility to almost every hero, heroes with less mobility get more damage. Like Sparrow. But that is nothing this current assassin and power meta should be having trouble with, assuming your team has a good support as well, Muriel works wonders
>>
>>167826515
Grim is shit too right now but he deserves it for his point and click murdock ult.
But if all you had to do was cc then people wouldn't play carries.
>>
>>167826669
>seems like getting killed is an issue for silvers
Man sure is great when weaknesses are only for silvers. I love high elo too.
>>
>>167826669
All ADC's have really shitty escapes. You have to rely on your support to get kills and stay alive.
>>
>>167826717
actually iv been seeing sparrow gain popularity lately.
A lot of em are shit mind you but the few that are good are actually really hard to gank. simply because the know how to ward. and have some super natural map sense.
and yeah i when i fight sparrows it generally works to just circle them. unless they have really great aim.
But any good sparrow i fight wont hesitate to ult. (it pisses me off cuz i just wana juke in but good luck juking that shit)
>cuz lol 40 second cooldown.
>>
>>167826969
look at>>167826971
its a team game and you use team members to cover your weakness.
>>
>>167826971
Sparrow has 0 escapes.
Adcs shit damage and thus cannot be as mobile. Even Countess doesn't have a good escape. But guess what, shits. Damage.

If you check leaderboards of highest rank players top 100 Sparrow is one of the top 3 played champs for exactly 11 of them.

Why? Because instead of creating artificial difficulty the majority of the time you can play something else and win early to mid game.

Sparrow needs a rework. Don't deny this. She's the literal blood relative of 50 ultimates wasted of Greystone, give her an actual slow.
>>
>>167827494
>sparrow is a top 3 champ for 11% out of 100 highest top players.
sounds pretty good
>>
>>167827317
It's solo queue and you can't rely on your teammates every game.
10 randoms, 4 on your team, I'm not going to trust my Sparrow not to overextend and die regardless of two wards placed down. Greystone and Aurora tag team Sparrow and her support we gotta pray it's a damn good support.

Team game is a mistake. You should learn from other mobas how "teams" are premade with voice communication.

If paragon had built in voice comms I might think otherwise.
>>
>>167827494
they better not get rid of her passive. she out boxes every adc because of it.
>>
>>167827717
And Twinblast is 30%
So which is better?
>>
>>167827801
They need to get rid of that stupid aoe rain of arrows and increase movement speed. Maybe add a passive to increase movement speed when she orb walks or kites backwards

It won't happen but double passive Sparrow sounds nice
>>
>>167827727
well if you wana get to play you have to not solo queue so im not seeing your point here. just ward and play safe. grey stone is so easy to deal with as sparrow.
>grey stone jumps at me
>turn and run
done
>b-but jungler
why arent you warding.
>>
>>167827813
neat but twin is the best adc since this patch right now.
>>
>>167827979
>khaimera stuns you and roots you
>just be yourself bro

Soloq is unreliable. Play to win, but for yourself.
>>
>>167827813
im not getting your thought pattern here. if she was not good i imagine she would show up 0% at the highest level play. the fact that she shows up at all in top level play kinda tells me that shes good.
>>
>>167828052
Then why play Sparrow?
>>
>>167828131
>khaimera.
i dont understand how he will get anywhere near you if you ward well.
>>
>>167828193
Lack of team fight damage in your team comp.
>>
>>167828303
counter warded
>>
>>167828428
arrow rain there ward immediately from a safe distance and be on ur way.
>>
>>167828428
counter warding is almost useless against any champ with a ranged multihit move. ever tried counter warding against gadget? its cancer.
>>
>>167828526
>>167828602
>abilities damage wards

So uh epic games really are this dumb huh
>>
>>167676501
>>dota makes you use an item slot and has currency cost so it has a lower and realistic cooldown

It's still pretty mandatory on a fuckton of Dota 2 heroes because not getting it hinders you hard and if their blink tanky/initiator guy gets his first and get yours alters that's like time gap worth of ganks and kills to snowball off of.
>>
>>167828303
Is it just me or are stuns and roots really ineffective in this game? It's extremely difficult to get one off I just rather play another hero
>>
>>167828374
I usually dodge in Hero select or spam gg
Won't tolerate garbage team comps with 2 supports in damage meta.

don't worry, we can manage at least one bump limit thread
