Maeve is a high skill champ too, but unlike Cassie her kit isn't good, so she's even more pointless to play if you aren't good.

If you're garbage at videogames but still want to contribute, play a tank. That's literally why they exist.

>>187286524
She's hard to master but remember that if you learn how to play her right, she's one of the most letal damage champions out there, if not the best one.

>>187287643
For most frontlines and healers, if someone does badly as them, it's safe to assume that they're effectively braindead and subhuman.
Ash, Fernando, Barik, Torvald. None of these require aim, you literally just hold m1 in the general direction of the enemy to deal damage. Same can be said for most healers, they can just press a button and they're doing their job.
It's true that they still have some distance between their skill floor and skill ceiling, but since the floor is so insanely low, there's no reason not to pick them if you can't aim.

>>187287880
I do fine with those except Barik, I don't understand how you're supposed to deal damage with him

GLORY TO FERNANDO

i just realised that this game and sims use the same artstyle meaning that my cute trap vampire wouldnt look out of place at all

>>187287993
Make a loadout that buffs turrets, pick architectonics, dance around the point

>>187287993
Like I said, literally just look in the general direction of the enemy and fire, and don't forget to place turrets whenever they're off cooldown. It may not feel like you're doing a lot of damage, but the damage you are doing is constant and makes a difference, especially if you're hitting another frontline with huge hitboxes so more of your pellets hit them. Buy caut too, so you can just keep applying it nonstop to everyone around you.
If your aim is particularly good, you can take tinkerin and do even more damage, but the turret legendary is great too especially against squishy high-mobility teams.

>>187288094
Notice how I said "most healers" instead of "all healers", damba is the exception and my favorite healer as a result.

>>187288076
Fernando body pillows are 10/10 idea, but we also need real plushie Makoa, plushie BK bombs,
and BK bath bombs that smell like carnage.

>>187287880
Cool story, bronze shitter, but with Barik you need a really good aim with tinkering, better than one required for Cassie. Nando require a really good positioning and aim to hit multiperson fireballs most of the time and ash overall require you hitting direct hits all the time while holding lmb 24/7 to be worth picking. Torv is literally trash character so he's not worth picking at all no matter how braindead he is.

>>187287880

>>187288320
>>187288361
I think you're both missing the point. I'm arguing that their skill floor is low, not their ceiling. It's true that you can be a better frontline with more skill and experience, but if you're a shitter it's much easier to contribute as a tank.

>>187288612
>hitting a direct hit with ash require skill
Whatever help you sleep at night, buddy.

>>187288630
Because viktor, tyra and the other 99 flank and damage champions who only shoot shoot shoot shoot the whole match are much more complex to play, right?

I am a literal god.

I can play any role except Flankers. Can I get Flanker tips? For example do I ignore Frontlines and focus on enemy Damage?

>>187289035
They are, yes.
If you just walk into the fight like a retard as a damage or flank you'll get destroyed and are just feeding the enemy free credits.
If you do it as a tank you can at least sit on the point a bit and deal some damage before you die, and if you're playing a healer you have no reason to even do it because you can just sit back and press your designated healing button.

>find backline's weakspot

>>187287993
Use your turrets (use them well, don't leave them open unless its intentional to create pressure, if you think it'll die instantly, don't place it there, out of direct line of sight is very sneaky and will get you more kills then you'd expect.), buff them up, use Tinkerin if you can aim and use Architechtonics until you can't. Focus on staying alive and being as annoying as possible. Barik is probably the most consistent champion in the game. You can carry in low skill games and create a lot of pressure for your team in high skill games. Tinkerin can pretty much win your fights if you can get two shots off on a low HP cap champion. Pretty much never a bad pick.

Really just play him a lot,

>>187289949
I'd rather have tank mains in my games tbqh. Most damage and flank mains are braindead.

Does wrecker and caut apply to Barik's turrets as well?

>>187290038
Most tank mains are braindead too, you just don't notice because even braindead players can do well as tanks

I really hope they buff Ying soon, so many shitters play her
There's no easier way to lose a match than by picking Ying when the enemy team has an actual support hero
The difference in power levels between the top 3 supports and the bottom 3 supports is absolutely disgusting

IT'S A 8 GAMES LOSING STREAK NOW LADS HAHA

>>187290719
Counter Zhin is by far the biggest cancer in the game. A good Zhin player is literal hell to play against, if you shoot him he uses one of the two abilities that makes him invincible, if you ignore him he comes back 5 seconds later to kill you.

Why the fuck is Evie allowed to shoot and move before the duration of iceblock runs out (like a split second before) but if you shoot her while she's getting out she's still immune

Not to mention that, while this all happens, he's keeping you (and possibly more players) busy while his team either kills you or just takes the point.

>>187291034
I got around 120k healing in a ~17 minute game recently. Her healing isn't as bad as people make it out to be, but it's definitely not as strong as the top supports.
I should note my team had a Flanknando and Barik that I babysat, and it was on Ice Mines. I didn't check if they took rejuvenate though.
The problem with buffing her healing is an inevitable power creep among supports. I don't know if I'd rather have that, or the best supports getting their healing adjusted down.
The one thing I don't understand is what Raynday said about Ying not getting more heals because her playstyle is simple so her healing is proportional to that, but then introduce Jenos, who can heal through walls, go sanic speed on a whim, do decent damage and just put his mark on people and forget. It's essentially the same "put down and it does the work for you" philosophy but Jenos has better numbers and wallhacks just because. And don't even make me talk about void grip on top of it.

>>187292276
I mean... sometimes I use the sniper to get extra pistol damage if that helps

>>187291225
This so much, I guess he isn't a problem if you have a well coordinated team, but that isn't a realistic expectaition outside of a pro match, he is very anti-fun.

Bruh, he's got 2000 health. He's got shit mobility, shit range, middling damage, and there's an animation delay in Billow. You can literally just blow him up if your team is watching for him.

Counter? Don't shoot him. Congrats he has no self-healing. Smolder? Congrats, blow him up twice instead of just once. Andro and Evie are both far harder to kill than he is.

The reason he's so shit is that his skill floor and skill ceiling are like 1 inch apart. His fire animations take years, all of his abilities lock you into them, and his mobility is shit - which means you can't react properly to anything. You're locked into easily predictable patterns, and there's no way around it. The only way you're pulling a sick play with him is if the enemy team reacts extremely slowly, constantly walks off on their own, and always stays on ground level.

>>187292578
Maybe this was just to get people to stop complaining about Zhin and Lian

>>187293349
>Counter? Don't shoot him.

>tfw absolutely and utterly tilted

>>187293868
Just involve yourselves in something else, chances are someone else is fighting nearby and you can do something useful there. Staring contests are pretty much just as good as hitting the counter, you're basically taunting yourself for no advantageous reason. Just keep an eye on where he goes and just ignore him.

>>187292545
Ruckus who?

>>187293752

I still think a good Sha Lin is far more annoying than Mememan in most cases. His new stealth legendary is bullshit.

>Shoot someone out of stealth with impaler for 1400 damage and immediately start planted
>90% of the heroes in the game are dead within 1-2 seconds
>literally no way to predict it or fight back

Mememan being able to hit for almost 2000 damage in one shot from stealth with no chargeup is retarded though.

Personally I don't think stealth as a mechanic belongs in any game like this, nor do true snipers. The whole basis of the game is interacting with the enemy team and struggling for advantage. Sniper and stealth heroes don't have to participate in that struggle. They don't have to deal with most of the mechanics, and only ever have to fight 1 person at a time. They're crutches that are not enjoyable to play with or against.

They're exclusively there for people who play videogames to pad their ego rather than to enjoy the mechanics and have fun.

i love being fast af while scoped being able to hop around like a retard popping in and out of stealth for easy 2100+ dmg headshots

zhin is "unfun" to play aginst at any level though, especially if he's good

>>187299197
it's not fun to be the victims skye will kill in no time and suicide at the same time
but hey it's been a while since i haven't played, since one week before seris announcement i was a 3009 rank on the old rank system
the problems with her is that you don't have time to react
stealth character should always have a delay and a little sound for coming in/ and coming out of stealth, no stealth character should be able to instantly shoot out of invisibility like skye and strix can, it is a joke and even OW understood it. Skye may be dead the second she kills someone, but it's simply not enjoyable to be deleted instantly. I remember playing Grover and not being able to do shit against a skye with my cripple legendary deck/vine deck cause she just killed me too fast, i couldn't land the last axe.

>>187299197
How is playing against Zhin "fun"? Care to explain? How is fighting le chinaman of many invulnerabilities "fun"?

>>187299605
Yeah, he's a fucking shitter if he actually thinks Strix is OP.
Both his weapons are really hard to aim so it balances out the high damage.
Btw I'm gold but only because I get matched with these same shitters who think strix is OP all the time, my deserved rank is master

Strix's stealth should have been like Spy's cloak. Right now he just gets infinite free potshots that you cant do anything about most of the time.

>>187299197
You clearly have never played against good kinessa and trix duo.

>>187300027
Shooting in stealth should instantly deplete Strix's "stealth juice" bar, and his sniper honestly shouldn't do 100 more damage than a fully charged Kinessa shot

>>187300027
Tbh he should lose his entire stealth bar if he fires from stealth, so that he's forced to go through the unstealth timer if he wants to spam shot through stealth.

>>187300262
Is he just plain better than Kinessa at least at shitter level? It sure feels that way

Gigantic isn't really a MOBA, the gameplay isn't at all similar to Smite.

Gigantic's gameplay is basically an action platformer. The game mode is team deathmatch with a basic "blow up the enemy generator" objective, and the creatures don't matter much.

Smite is an actual MOBA, and I guess you've never played one before. It's very centered around farming PvE creeps for gold / XP and playing specific roles in dedicated areas on a flat map. It's a lot slower and less action based.

>>187304060
It will probably be a dude, but otherwise spot-on.

new shitter looking to improve, which supports should i focus on trying to improve at if i intend to focus on playing them mostly

>>187304991
Jenos

>>187304991
Damba and Jenos are the best ones currently, followed by Seris. Ying is mid tier and the rest are more damages and flanks than supports but still fun if you want to meme or off heal (cauterize will rape you though)

I know how to solve this, hear me! We add an sniper frontline!
"b-but how will he cap the point smart guy?"
Simple, he can deploy a decoy of himself that has the ability of capturing points... I know, I'm freaking genius.

>>187304991
Seris or Mal-Damba
Damba is pretty high skill cap but amazing on tanky teams.
Series is fairly easy and better on team that don't stick well together if you have her 300% legendary.

Overall best healer in the game is probably Mal-Damba but he's quite tricky and requires decent aim.
If you've played Overwatch then Mal=Ana Seris=Mercy.

>>187305190
>ying is mid tier

no shes not. shes great at both healing and hurting, specially with her new ultimate

>>187305238
You don't seriously think they'll actually use that ability do you?
They'll plonk the guy right next to themselves and complain everyone is a noob when they die.

>>187305279
I admit I haven't tried her yet. Maybe Seris tier?

>>187305190
what, it's more like Seris/Jenos closely followed by Damba then Ying/Grover then grohk

>>187304060
I think if you fused those two pictures in a single character, the result would be pretty good.

i wouldn't compare any of the supports of paladins to Mercy, like, at all, their skill floor/ceilings is way higher than any character in overwatch, grover included. Most character. the whole game has a higher skill ceilings/floor than overwatch.

I think her healing is still a little lacking in comparison to others, but she can deal quite a good amount of damage if you can aim properly.
Nothing will stop me from loving her though.

>>187305614
Seris is shit tier at higher levels, she can't heal more than one person at a time and even if completely focused on a single target she is outhealed by Damba gourge+mouse click, Damba has a much longer range on his hitscan, she has a much lower 1vs1 potential and her invisibility is a bad escape when the enemy has enough braincells to not forget about her after it wears off, literally the only thing she has over snek is that it's easier to hit her heal, she's a clutch hero for baddies.

He's not supposed to have range, he's a goddamn flank. The fact that HiRez allowed him to deal competent midrange damage for so long is baffling, he felt more like a damage. He's more dangerous now up close, as it should be.

>he has no mobility
He's got pretty decent mobility, it's just that none of it is vertical. He's excellent at the flat approach though, you just can't take Death Hastens 99% of the time anymore. Lex, Zhin, and (eventually) Skye are all united in having lessened mobility relative to other flanks but the ability to engage frontlines who are bullying.

also can you tell me if the base card of each new hero post-seris and seris is good or should i change them immediately? I noticed that rend souls on seris is very important and i really like agony so i'm going to go with a heal/defensive build for her. Rend souls 6 sec CD is insane.

Ok.

>>187316965

Do you really blow yourself up often enough that half damage from your stickies is a must?

>>187316715
It is.

Does res protect against Inara cripple?

>>187318930
No, bulldozer does :>

>>187318930
No, the slow is constantly applied

>>187318742
For short range combat against flankers.

>>187318970
>>187319026
As I thought, some guy was buggering me to buy res against her, anyway does this means that there's literally nothing M'koa can do against her? She always rapes me, it seems like a very hardcounter.

>>187319242
That makes sense if your fernando
Just buy bulldozer and fuck her field up

>>187319307
But how do you kill her without caut?

>>187319242
Yup, she counters anything with mobility, if shes going that meme legendary
But anyway, if youre having trouble just play bit more careful against her and try destroying that shitty zone first then anything else

>>187319380
theres 4 other fags on your team
unless you're paired up with huehues or they have a torvald most people prioritise cautrise

>>187319380

Shoot her healer, presumably.

>>187319464
>>187319380
>>187319307
>>187319242

Inara has no counters sorry lads

>>187319380
Don't listen to these guys. Just buy caut, bulldozer is not worth it for her alone.

I love playing BK, sha lin, willo and andro and I wish I was better with the four of them.

damn this picture is terrible
the angles make no sense, what is going on with that midriff
it looks like he traced over a bunch of really shitty and disconnected references

>>187320427
the bots were losing and hirez don't like that so they drop hacked your game.

>>187320448

the more I look at it the worse it gets jesus christ

>>187320427
Surely you weren't losing, right? R-right?
Either a typical server fuckup in good LoRez fashion, or one of your teammates drophacked.

it's shitty deviantart stuff, what can you ask for?
Have a sunstone render

>>187320427
>>187320608
Can someone please explain the drophack meme to me
I've been playing the game for almost a year now and have been disconnected from a match about 3 times total
It hasn't happened at all in the last few months
Is this an NA thing? I'm in EU

Why does Zhin's voice sounds like he's talking through a filter? Is he robot?

>draft was a free win but since the trade system bugged some gold shitter who never played Damba before throws the game

They need to bring back level limitations if they're not even going to have a working system.

>>187321464

you can block grumpy bombs with both wall and earthen guard though, anon
it's practically impossible to get hit by one unless you're a big boo boo bad player

>>187321735
Dude what? Shes slow as shit, you throw 2, 3 bombs into her earth guard shit, throw bomb on top of her and shes dead, if she walls, you throw a poppy over and force her to react, its a piece of fucking cake

>>187321908

2-3 bombs into her Earthen Guard? Anon, what you describe would barely deal visible damage.
70% damage reduction with 120hps + 80% increased external healing.
What good would throwing a Poppy Bomb over her wall do? Do you mean using Poppy Bomb to jump over it? You would get killed long before you did anything significant to her.

I'm not sure I even understand what you're describing because your english is very bad.
