I have put zero real effort into getting good and calibrated at phantom. I can't imagine how terrible you have to be to place below oracle
>>
On the topic of last thread's conversation, how easy would it be for a computer or computer team to 'solve' a given genre (the computers have perfect aim, perfect execution, etc). I do agree that fighting games seem easier to solve since it's purely 1v1 in a closed area, so the options are fewer and easier to calculate thanks to frame data and things like that. But when it comes to a game like Deadlock, it's inherently asymmetrical so I don't think you could have a 20XX scenario.

do you think a complete monster character would work well? I saw hopoo's involvement and it made me think of playing as acrid in deadlock
>>
the damage amp paradox gets from hitting people with her bomb also applies to the followup hit from echo shard in a strange way. a carbine that does 595 and 238 reverb damage does 731 with another 709 echo damage after 7 hits from a grenade which is supposed to be a 42% damage increase

seems pretty fucking good, even if you don't land exactly that many hits its still a ton of damage, just less so

Is veilwalker worth it? It's strong early game but it feels like it scales like ass and if you don't go hard on it with like 3-4 vitality items it feels wasted

I'm assuming two computer teams. A computer team (OpenAi5) already beat a Dota team some years ago. It would be unfair anyway thanks to the perfect aim and everything.
>>
>>500386958
Iirc that open ai team could only play like 10 heroes and I THINK they also limited your hero pool as well or they'd shit themselves. I also think the team that lost had dendi on it too so lol lmao

lol I'd run it down after hearing a comment like that

>>500387054
>Limited hero pool
Fair. Deadlock doesn't have a huge roster as is but I expect it to be larger when it's not in alpha, which is also probably when people would care enough about it to train AI teams on it. But AI technology would be better by that point, and so on.
I guess my main point was that I just think it's pretty staggering how many variables there are in a match of Deadlock, and I don't see it being "solved" any time soon, even on paper.

For DPS Infernus to i build towards maxing his spirit or gun?

I tend to build my gun so I can ignite them more consistently but also build my spirit so the DoT can actually put a dent in their health
Problem is by the time it's mid to late game I fall behind in the damage race since I'm not focusing on one. My gun doesn't do jack and my damage over time isn't getting it done either.

I also have trouble farming. Should I just stick to one lane and wave farm creeps or jungle? I hear jungleing isn't viable unless you know the quickest routes and rotations and every nook n cranny on the map and if you just walk around looking for camps you fall behind in souls and would have gotten more just farming creeps in a lane.

contrary to popular belief, infernus is quite bad at farming before he maxes flame dash
its why you see most people build ricochet on him, but the problem with ricochet is that its so expensive for meh stats so he tends to fall behind at mid game
my solution? unironically get tesla bullets on him instead since you'll be building spirit anyways
>>
>>500388084
Shield is good early/early mid game for pretty much all characters. The soul/shield ratio is much more efficient than soul/hp you get from items. Furthermore, items like veil walker make shields even more insane mid game.
However, shield aren't be affected by lifesteal and armor so it eventually fall off once the game moves to the phase where armor+lifesteal overcome in.
>>
>>500388236
Tesla is such a shit item. Literally just go rapid rounds + soul shredder + slowing bullets + toxic bullets and realise you need to be involved in fights early.
>>
>>500387904
What about evasion? I see mirages build shield but I wasn't sure if it stacked with his

nothing to really explain just look at the buffs it has been getting
the value right now you get everything you want
27% damage
extra movement speed and if you get boots you really should get boots if you havent you can clean up lanes and get to fights pretty fast
then all the health you are getting but thats not all you regen at 4% rate after 10 seconds this is just a better heart of tarrasque kinda hard to ignore the item now
>>
>>500388535
I'm not 100% but I imagine evasion is just its own thing where it rolls a chance to miss and if it does miss it ignores the shield then. Worth noting mystic shot/lucky shot ignore evasion.

The black woman of Valve unoriginality.
These are TWO different characters.
>>
>>500388474
you can take shields all the way to the end due to a lot of strong T4 items like spiritual overflow having shields. If you're playing someone that doesn't want a fair fight in the first place it can be worth it.
Also has insane synergy with glass cannon and fortitude.
>>
>>500388557
I thought fortitude was good until some anon explained that your effective hp is influenced by your resistances, so your lifesteal is worse the more "raw" hp you have, basically I think fortitude is good on heroes that have spells giving the max hp % heals or use item that give max hp heals but not as good on heroes that don't
>>
>>500388236
The solution is to get armor+ toxic bullet so you aren't useless through mid game. Infermus is already very solid once he get some armor, spirit lifesteal and other core T2 and toxic bullet. Rushing ricochet is an extremely outdated strat/build for infernus and if you get to 20 min without spirit armor/return fire, the you are a pretty shitty infernus. I don't even get ricochet unless I am limited on slot and I only get it after leech+EE if I have slots available.
>>
>>500388901
Yeah you don't build ricochet to farm you build it to apply aids to multiple people in fights.
>>
>>500389064
True. The problem is that you rarely get ricochet on multiple players standing close together until late game when there's extended full teamfight. There are just so many good items for infernus than ricochet as well that ricochet just drop more and more down the priority to get.
>>
>>500388842
I mean, everyone has lifesteal in the late game. Also, the huge value of fortitude is in the Regen out of combat as well, so if you duck out of combat for like 15-18 sec at low health and pop back in at full health again.
>>
>>500389210
Yeah like for instance slowing bullets + mystic slow is insanely good cc and basically has you auto winning fights. Then you can throw inhibitor in there too and literally no one is winning fights into you.
>>
>>500388236
infernus is not quite bad at farming, you roll into a camp and slide for infinite ammo so you can ignite all the creeps in one clip, once you run out you flame dash napalm and they're all dead. for ancients you use your next clip
>>
>>500389334
a fight is fucking over in 15 seconds and that's only if you're able to escape from it to begin with.

>>
Who else Cold Front enjoyer here?
I've been buying it on every hero every game because the clear speed is insane, the slow and bonus damage you get is just cherry on top
>>
>>500389505
Lmao very far from trash but im stay ahead of the curve you will start saying its good when your favorite streamer says it
>>
>>500389387
I usually don't build slowing bullet + mystic slow. I build slow hex sometimes and that's it. I just try to quickly get someone on fire+toxic and either chase or disengage. If I chase some burning fuck with flame dash, they aren't getting away anyway unless they have a movement ability/item (which case I would need slowing hex or just leave my teammates to do the chasing). Inhibitor is really good for both slow and insane damage debuff though. Frenzy is also crucial. Infernus can use so many strong T3 and T4 that idk if I should bother with ricochet unless there's a dynamo on my team or something like that
>>
>>500389334
>>500389505
It's less about leaving a fight and coming back, but regenerating between fights. You kill an enemy and then his buddy comes down the lane some 20 seconds later, you're now up by 40% more HP than you otherwise would be.
>>
>>500389334
It's good because it's a huge weapon damage gun item on your green slot assuming your hero is never going to be in any scenario where you are going to go below 75%. The movement speed and regen are there so you can fuck yourself out of a bad position quick so you can get back to benefiting from the weapon damage buff.
>>
>>500389742
Yea, it's also nice to rotating lane to lane after some fight, maybe clearing some camps and hitting some boxes. It's just a very nice QoL to have on top of having great stats for a T3 item. In current meta where you have talon/Geist chucking shit at you across the map, it's nice to not just having to return to base because of some long range nuke being chucked across the map during a push or urn contest.
>>
>>500389627
i love cold front. it was already good and then they buffed it again. wouldn't be surprised if they nerfed it, honestly, it's insane to just walk into a camp and chunk it universally

>>500391219
It's good due to both, even more so if you are already building gun and has bullet life steal as well.
It has 7 sec of duration, plenty enough for duel in the mid game
It gives 20 % bullet resist AND the return fire effect on activation. That is only too of 125 health and 9 spirit power passive path. It's just a better buy than bullet armor (25% bullet resist, 6% weapon damage)

I think it's really awesome how most of the teams I lose against have a Mo and a Mcginnis that you basically can't kill or reasonably do anything against and they act as a buffer between the minimal squishy enemies you have like Vindicta or Talon that just rape you from afar.

that was mostly due to inhuman reaction speed making most abilities useless because you could not use them against the bots

They aren't really tanks in the traditional rpg trinity sense. You can't taunt enemies into attacking you in a pvp game so there needs to be some baseline mobility and damage so they aren't completely ignored. You end up with fifty shades of bruiser. I unironically think paladins and to a lesser extent ow had the right idea by giving the Frontline big shields to protect the team. I dont think it would work nearly as well in this game because you don't have many koth scenarios. Maybe if the obj did a billion damage and you were forced to push as the trinity to take them but I can't see solo Andys liking that

Obviously not, he lost

His selfish greedy build is why his team wiped every fight, if he went support they would have won ez. Id bet money he has no knockdown, no antiheal, no divine barrier or rescue beam to save ppl from hooks. Just a bad attitude from losing an early fight which is why he ratted the whole time

Well you are way higher mmr in the first place so no surprise. I was climbing but nowadays don't have much time to sweat in dota.

Hm ok I'm just looking for heroes that I can play without aiming. Melee shiv was good, but then was gutted by the nerf.

>>500397946
Yamato is only bad because the hero design attracts only the most degenerate of people with half a lobe of their brain missing
Only Yamato players can totally dominate a lane then proceed to chain feed as soon as laning ends

>but I'm not learning aiming, it's for faggy cs kids
It's not even hard to aim unless you're playing Geist or some shit where you shoot so slow it actually matters if you miss
>>
>>500400219
Then I don't know what "fundamentals" anon was talking about. I farm the map, push waves, take objectives, call rosh, use slots. My weakness is pressing buttons in fights which was the same in dota.

Hopoo I know you read these threads. Magician fucking blows:

1 is just a Wraith card clone but boringer. The targetting system is not great but at least Wraith has more stuff going on with that spell and it doesn't come to 2 redirects.

2 has also godawful assistant attack targetting. The swap is the only remotely interesting thing about it.

3 is way too strong, even with the +speed drawback. It's practically a much better Curse on a non-ultimate ability slot. I'd say make it his ultimate but then you got a Wraith clone again.

I don't know where the fuck you are leading this but so far no good.

It only works if your gun isn't shit and she doesn't have any movement items.

Do I just max out on healing items and fuck her over when she swaps?
>>
>>500400796
No, metal skin isn't going to save your ass because of her broken speed during her ult, it doesn't work like that anymore. I might have a month ago when her ult didn't gave her 2m/s extra move speed, but not anymore.
>>

>>
>>500402025
No, it doesn't, and you know what, she can also spend a very easy 1250 souls to buy a very easy to use item called "cold front" or "slowing hex" so it can be even easier for her to annihilate you with her broken ult.
>>

Post match id, you won't cause I was dead right

brother, 3 seconds to use your stamina bars? you can easily los haze ult in 3 seconds, and if she doesn't have silencer / unstoppable someone is likely to stun her
>>
>>500402325
if you are too retarded to use items, just quit
>>
>>500386936
It's a core item on warden just for the speed boost since his 2 scales his move speed by +35% so just from veil walker, 4 movespeed turns into 5.4 move speed so you just zoom across the map like a maniac. Also, if you build into shields then yes having a way to quickly refill your shields is really really good.
>>
Why is it accepted to just "buy items" against Haze in this general but if you say that about Wraith or Infernus people have a mental breakdown
>>
>>500402602
the same retards that seethe about haze also seethe about wraith and infernus

>>500402602
buying one item to counter a entire character is generally more acceptable than having the entire team all have to buy three items to counter one character

I've never seen that happen.

>>500402472
Not with the speed and range of her ult. And don't pretend unstoppable isn't the first thing they all buy specifically for that purpose.

It doesn't matter, it lets you safely rotate between lanes after a fight. Also 4% health regen is obviously great especially for big boys. The more health you have, the longer you have to stay in the fountain when your health gets low. iirc damage in fortitudes case is only affected by heroes and maybe troopers so you can also farm jungle while still healing. It effectively gives you more XP when you can both move between jungle/lanes faster and don't have to waste time going back to fountain nearly as much so you stay in the game longer, get more souls, while healing.

The fact that it gives you such a big boost in weapon damage is nuts too.

Early/mid just be low enough that the swap doesn't do shit except waste frames. Also restorative locket.

complaining about Haze ult is the easiest way to spot a <20hrs shitter and I really hope this remains an effective method for the lifetime of the game

so many things have to line up:
>she needs to outfarm everyone (i.e. your lobby isn't farming enough to deny her)
>she needs to get to late game (i.e. your lobby doesn't know how to close out vs. a late-game comp)
>she needs unstoppable + silence (otherwise she'd get stunned in a second)
>your movement and positioning have to suck (otherwise you just dash jump out of it or have easy access to verticality/cover)
>none of you must have bought counter items at any point during the game

Are there other easy tells?

That's normal. LoL has the same effect yet it is more international.

>>500400745
Literally takes her like 20+ minutes to get unstoppable unless she's super head.
Literally countered by a single item.
>>
>>500402602
Haze is completely useless for most of the game and then get walled again once you itemize agaonst her even when she peaks. She's the worst character right now imo
You can itemize to make wraith/infernus more manageable but they still perform well. Even if you e shift or w/e to dodge wraith ult, her damage burst with 3 cards + gun is still good. Infernus will still 1v1 you even if you debuff his healing because infernus has his own healing debuff as well, not to mention his mobility and stun to make play

Daily reminder that there is no such thing as a trench. If you're stuck at a certain rating in 95% cases it means you belong there.
>"But anon you don't understand what my teammates are like"
If you were consistently better than the average player at that rating you wouldn't be there. The enemy team has those players too. If you got magically transplanted to a higher rating you would be a burden to your team.

If you want to get a higher rating you will have to

You go around fighting and making space mid game and then turn into a supporty ult bot because her damage falls off pretty hard.
Get T2 on 3 first for the speed bonus, then max 4 because you desperately want that reach, then max 2 for silence, and at that point it's better to max 1 than 3 because you don't care about the extra damage at that point.
You should really get High Velocity and possibly Pristine later. Her bullet velocity is dogshit.
Mystic Shot is great for early burst and makes spirit items more efficient because her base kit barely scales damage with spirit.
Slowing Bullets and Fleetfoot are fine, but I prefer just getting Basic Mag to fill out slots and buying T2 vit items or saving up for T3s.
Highly recommend Divine Barrier and/or Return Fire. Cheap items that massively up your tankiness in early-mid when you want to be constantly fighting.
Don't think Mystic Vuln and Mystic Slow are worth it. You want to delay Headhunter, Rapid Recharge and Superior CD as little as possible.
Get Fortitude instead of Superior Stamina. Warp Stone, Divine Barrier/Return Fire should be enough to save you after your swap, and then you just hang back and wait for your health to regen.
Again her late game damage isn't great so Reverb and Exposure aren't that good. Diviner's is fine but Curse is amazing.

Reduce the max stacks to 10 and remove any other bonuses except maybe a small health boost, it might be pretty decent for early game. Heroes will generally use their abilities less because of higher cooldowns and at max +350~ health instantly is about half health.

fuck off, ranked should remain solo q forever. Too many people rely on people they know instead of working together with people they don't know, literally every ranked game right now is a bunch of retards who are used to playing with stacks playing solo afraid to commit or fight or even play around eachother because they think they're the main characters in a sea of solo queue

How do you guys put any credit towards ranks or anything with the amount of people boosting, the people buying those boosted accounts, the amount of people smurfing, the amount of smurfs who throw a game so they don't get flagged for smurfing etc

Deadlock is the same but 10x worse, you've got people aimbotting up to the high ranks and then selling the account

This collective mindset of retards who think they have to win to have fun or can't play the game without cheating because everyone else is cheating etc has got to be one of the most retarded and short sighted mindsets readily available and constantly espoused by absolute bottom of the barrel mongoloid retards online.

People who cheat are the type of people who give up when they don't have cheats and all the arguments that apply to the shitters begging for a give up function also apply to cheaters - you're just mentally broken IRL losers who desperately need wins so you cheat in games for the satisfaction of winning something

So that's true for everybody except for the other 11 people in the game? Gaben himself has taken to targeting you, it seems. Aren't you supposed to be able to carry those people if you do have the higher MMR? Or are the people with lower MMR just on your team? How is the matchmaking system supposed to queue a high MMR player with another 5 (or 11, because I'm still not clear on what you mean) lower MMR players, and do that for every single person playing the game? Is this the dead internet theory?

My argument is that nobody is special, not enough for the system to intentionally put you, and specifically you, in a stacked game. If you expect to consistently be matched in games with extremely low skill variance, you'd be queueing for a very long time.
>""You're don't have shitty teammates you are the same as them" to "well everyone ELSE must have shit teammates too"."
Why can't both be true?

People still don't really get scarabs,(I don't blame them it's pretty confusing) I see people just shoot one for the shred. At level 1 if you shoot creeps then use the last 1 on the enemy hero you will have like 50% more hp then them and they are shredded 10%

I feel like some of the currently bought items are overrated or just bad.

Pristine Emblem, Tesla Bullets, Combat Barrier, Burst Fire, Hunter's Aura, Cold Front; to name a few.

They really don't provide as much value as people perceive.

Similarly, some items that are overtuned go under the radar most of the time:

Withering Whip, Escalating Resilience, Siphon Bullets, Slowing Bullets, Improved Armors, Inhibitor; etc.

Withering is actually so strong it can shutdown any gun build or aimbotter for a whole fight. By itself it singlehandedly nullifies things like Ricochet and Lucky Shot in critical moments.

It even works on Haze ultimate, reducing her damage by over 70% since she can't even get Fixation stacks.

Try it next time you go against Haze, Vindicta, Wraith, the usual culprits.

>>
>>500434130

Reducing Fire Rate lowers her ult damage, it even goes through Unstoppable.

Try it using a mimic on Sandbox.

It's probably a bug but it works for now.

I parried Abrams twice and dumped an entire mag and a half into him. He just ran towards me then used his shoulder charge for a free melee lifesteal giving him back all that health he lost from being parried in one simple swoop

imo (and you get a free "you're a retard" for this) the bullet velocity is noticeable but does not make that much of a difference on most characters
The gun damage you get (39%) is really just not good compared to any other of the 3k tier.
Paradox makes sense though, because of Kinetic.

>>500434603
Please enlighten me on how these items are comparable.

I see Cold Front in pretty much every Yamato/Pocket build, sometimes Lash or Abrams for some ungodly reason.

Burst Fire is a weird case in that usually people go Swift Striker into Burst Fire and that completely kills your tempo since now you have no real gun damage and you basically wasted 3k overinvesting into one stat.
If you buy Burst Fire after a one or two 6k gun items it is extremely powerful, however.

>>500437452
Combat Barrier can be ok for farming but the time it takes for barrier to come back up when fully depleted (50 seconds) basically makes the passive a gamble if it'll be active in the right moments sometimes.

I was thinking about quitting Miku for inhouse, but after playing a pub and winning I had some insights.
The problem is that I was playing the turret build as I would Vindicitia/Shiv/Viscious/Ivy, which is:
1. Look at map
2. Go push/fight/jungle/gank
3. repeat
But with turrets, Miku is a MACRO player, so I should've been:
1. Look at map
2. Guess what the map is going to look like in 15-20 seconds
3. Go to where there's going to be a team fight, an easy objective to push, or an objective we'll lose otherwise.
This way, I can set up turret nests in places that will force the enemy team to fight in awkward positions.
I've also made a few changes to my build, adding Kinetic Dash for manuvears/gun damage, quicksilver reload to stack on turrets, and an optional support path if I'm fighting a lot with the team(although healing booster is useful enough to buy every game IMO.) Superior cooldown/Improved reach on turrets is probably sketchy, but cooldown makes them late-game viable since you can slam four turrets and replace the ones that blow up and improved reach really helps team fights in lane/mid/base when placed correctly.

Kelvin ult is probably the biggest anti yamato ult in the game.
A kelvin can be 5k souls behind early/mid and will still survive/kill the yamato, while trapping the yamato so she cannot go or do anything.

>Only Yamato players can totally dominate a lane then proceed to chain feed as soon as laning ends
because she has a good early lane and then right before laning phase ends she falls off insanely hard and quick because she HAS to wait 5 whole levels to put it into her power slash
so she
>starts kinda strong early lane
>peaks mid laning phase with 2 points in 1 and like 4ish 500 items
>falls off after this as she cannot spend any points, she MUST wait for 5 whole points to upgrade 1 again or she's useless

then she peaks again with 5 points in 1 and cold front + twoish other tier 2 items or a torment pulse, then she quickly falls off again because of the dogshit overnerfed ult until she has improved burst, maxed ult/3 and several vitality and one other 3k item
then she falls off hard AGAIN until she gets mystic reverb (now giga nerfed) and/or refresher, but at which point she gets completely countered by silencing glyph, curse or silencer so she HAS to spend a ton on unstoppable and now it's late game so she completely falls off and requires like 5 power slashes to kill anyone
this means she's both a snowball feast or famine hero that wants to brool but ALSO requires a lot of farming but still falls off anyways, and the nerfs to laning which make it matter even less nowadays make her even weaker, dying twice to her in lane is nearly irrelevant and the moment anyone ganks her she's fresh meat because melee with no reliable movement
but of course, some nigger playing shiv/lash/mo/mirage/paradox/vindicta/mcginnis or some other giga broken shit doesn't realize just how hard some heroes struggle, they see a guy sweating their ass off kill them with 3 power slashes while ahead because they came from behind and caught them off position and they instantly lose their shit

i usually get 3 gun items, 2 vitality items, 2 spirit items and then hold for heroic

this allows you one extra 1250 and one extra 500 until it gets fully online and i highly recommend something like attached image

grenade on paper has 0.5 but it also self buffs itself by a flat 6% every hit which is literally better escalating exposure for free, it scaling with duration/range upgrades in the way that it does means its now a lot harder to just walk around it so all spirit scaling matters more then the numbers actually imply, especially as you get duration increase and echo shard

wall and carbine don't increase damage with spirit power and swap is only 0.7 beacuse she gets 100% lifesteal during it and again she has this scaling damage boost from grenade, she's probably not a character that wants boundless spirit unless the game is going on for an unreasonably long time but saying she doesn't benefit from spirit power is a bit of a meme

Getting tier 2 on Scarabs with Bullet Resist Shedder and Crippling Headshot does something like -76% bullet resist on up to 4 targets so he's pretty bad only on spirit focused comps.

Is this good when all of Mikus abilities scale poorly with spirit? Turrets only get 40% of your spirit power as damage, seems like it would be more impactful to save the 500 souls for something more impactful.

No shit, retard? The game is likely a few years away from release. You look at something like dota and there's tons of "content" to do besides just ranked and unranked matches.
>>
>>500445328
it gives you some nice regen and max hp but most importantly it increases duration of your heal station by 1.7s and radius by 0.7m so it's not negligible, it's better than nothing but maybe shouldn't upgrade it before anything else
>>
>>500440267
Left debuffs and DoT/kill popups in center of the screen need to be reworked
Everything else is fine.

They need to put more shit on the Tab overlay though, the debuffs could go there you're never staring at them mid fight. Player/obj damage and some kind of combat log is needed too

For mirage, you want surge of power on 3 first. It's a huge power spike for him and also provide that fire rate boost. You either go toxic bullet and/or pristine emblem after and then burst fire for further fire rate increase

Wrong. The only people who have the right to complain are yamatoniggers

>>500446390
I think if they didn't like the game initially, they might be willing to come back a few years later if they had any real interest. Obviously if you don't like it cuz it's a moba then you're never going to like it but that's just how it is. This is valve's next big thing and it's definitely gonna be popular, I have 0 doubt in my mind. The only way they could fuck it up is by actually somehow ruining every core thing that makes the game fun.

>>
>>500446254
That's not totally accurate

If an enemy has improved Bullet armor (50%) then shredding the first 50% will double your damage (+100%) while the remaining negative resist is a flat increase(+26%) for a total of +126%

So the returns do diminish at 0 armor value but 26% is 26%, it's not bad by any stretch
>>
>>500445861
Try going for Swift instead of Burst in your builds, it feels like just enough and leaves 1250 extra souls.

Burst with Enduring is OP right now though.

You're right about Sharpshooter, I only really upgrade Long Range when the damage drop-off starts being a deciding factor. Usually when their frontline gets enough mobility to reach me easily and also after most 6k buys.

That makes it even better, no?
Since you will see things like Warp Stone that also buff Bullet Resist. It is not uncommon for tankier characters to get over 76% resistance.

A situation where everyone has 0 resistance is very rare.
>>
>>500447206
It was 100% a mistake, it worked for dota because dota had a shitload of heroes to port so they didn't have to do any (gameplay) design work to pump out heroes every few patches they just had to code them.

>>500442369
>AGAIN until she gets mystic reverb (now giga nerfed)
sorry you can't slow literally the entire team anymore with an aoe the size of the midboss arena that hits through walls because someone stood in a giest puddle/kudzu that is itself gigantic for 1s but its still rly good at what it was actually meant to do (increasing the damage of big spirit nukes by 40%) instead of that gay shit so it's just as good for yamato as before

>no you don't understand, that 1% less lifesteal/range makes all the difference, reverb power slash is dogshit now
>>

Bro, she's so bad now that the only way to make her "playable" is to not actually play her, but instead spam activateable items instead.
>>
>>500447581
>her gun was always trash
it has some of the highest dps in the game, the only issue with it is that it has an extremely small mag size

I literally did nothing this entire match I won yellow lane against seven and by that time we were in their base
>>
>>500446387
other heroes scale harder earlier, and not every hero, a lot of them do not do this
also, the main reason why this happens is because yamato has ONE real damaging ability, her power slash, and without upgrading it's doing at most 200 damage with items
which is not very much later on lane when people have 1-2 regen items and shields and resists
not the case with other heroes that actually deal damage and their entire kit scales off the items they buy, until those 5 points her 1 stops doing jackshit later in lane

There's definitely skill in paying attention to map and specifically the creep dots on the map but the point im making is if your team is pre-occupied with something (taking an objective, fighting urn, jhust a general team fight) if someone isn't watching the minimap as hard as possible during that 15 second window, then your objective is fucked even if it's at full health.
The strength of splitpush heroes is extremely strong right now.

>>500448619
Yes this is a pretty huge problem too. I might make a forum account just to talk about it. They clearly didn't have a real idea of how the lanes would stack up when they came up with 6v6 4 lanes, especially when they made the map. They only did 1221 because that's what people were using in compfaggotry/it somewhat makes sense (for maximum ganking potential) but the reality is right now the map is not built for it and literally the same patch they made 1221 mandatory instead of random pairings is the same patch where they made the area between side lanes and mid lanes longer. Solo lane is paintfully boring because of how they discouraged ganks now (which is probably a reactionary change to the double soak soul exploit rather than any other concrete idea). If they keep 4 lanes, the side lanes will definitely be getting some major map changes.

I'm talking about the map design of the lanes itself, not the raw gameplay of playing 1v1. Like I said, the lanes are extremely large especially compared to mid lane, with a lot of open space, with a long walk to mid lane (which discourages ganking) and the lanes are also really one sided.
>One solo lane has a lot more cover, shop is closer, there's a rooftop you can quickly get to and safely last hit every creep from, and there's a church with 5 creeps that can give you a bigger early boost than every other lane

it's rough but would probabably play better eventually. I dont know who this game appeals to. The game is too imbalanced and farmy for shooter players, the game is too mechanically intensive for moba players. Laning has no impact on the game 90% of the time and exists because they need laning in a moba but because it's a shooter they cant make it punishing due to innate gun differences

Absolutely Inhibitor. Ricochet Inhibitor is OP as shit. Siphon Bullets can only proc every 0.8s anyways so there's no synergy.
>>
>>500454632
Ricochet just feels so good to me on him because it helps you clear out waves so much faster and it spreads around stacks to the entire enemy team in a team fight. It helps him split push a lot easier and do a lot more damage in team fights.

go watch some of your replays on 2x/3x speed and just take note of every time you walk around doing nothing. If it happens a bunch when there's farm on the map to be had then there's your problem. If not then your teammates are soul vacuums and it's their fault.

Blow your brain out for playing this sandnigger trash character
>>
>>500455419
if you see 3 people fighting 2 people you're probably not needed so stop going there and trying to kill people because it will get you no money always be doing something no waves? farm jungle waves? farm waves and break those boxes
>>
>>500455809
there is no evidence that the game is using anything but W/L to determine rank
>>
>>500454137
don't let anyone know this, the sekrit super bonken mirage T4 is actually spiritual overflow

How are you guys farming on Mirage?
I dropped him specifically because he felt like garbage to farm with before I got Ricochet but I don't like rushing 6k items.
>>
Hero with HUGE FAT FUCKING TITS when?
>>
>>500456014
i believe it is cause i win so much but never rank up. or my normal mmr was just really low

It's not a sekrit. Spirit overflow is godlike on any hybrid build gunner and mirage is one of them. Hybrid build gunners are currently all strong and meta, wraith, mirage, talon, and vindicta.

>>500456443
never seen anyone else buy it so it's sekrit to me

dumb faggot
>Every Tuesday at 8PM GMT we will run an algorithm that calculates everyone's performance together at the same time based on the games you've played, how the opponents you played against ended up faring in subsequent games, etc. As such, medals will only be updated once per week, to allow for analysis of a wide set of match data together at once for a more accurate review of your skill (rather than a fixed numerical addition/subtraction on a per game basis).
What did they mean by this?
>>
>>500456403
Shit. That makes perfect sense.
Going to whip up a new Mirage build tonight and give it a shot.

just buff Vindicta
>>
>>500456694
They meant that they take into account not just your W/L but also the W/L of the people you play against.
Nowhere does it say they're looking at your souls farmed or K/D ratio. That's an utterly retarded way to calculate MMR.
>>
>>500456403
I already pick up return fire and knockdown on Mirage and I'm too smoothbrained to have more than 2 active items.
>>
>>500456897
>knockdown
>tornado
>cold front
it's just another part of the combo.

Remember when Vindictatrannies cried that she was low tier
>>
>>500456339
Just chuck scarab and shoot at minions, applying 3 proc evenly manually pop to optimize clear time.
He doesn't have amazing clear but it is good enough. If your team is good, there aren't really that many jungle farms lying around for fast clear speed to matter. Mirage also doesn't need to hide in jungle like some other carries. He can just hold/split push a lane and be strong throughout the game without needing huge amount of soul.

>hero was low tier(actually according to most pros she was worst hero in the game) until she was buffed
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
>>
>>500457015
this nigga doesn't know what a buff is
>>
>>500457015
She was actually garbo for like 1-2 previous patches. Previous patch, her gun had one of the worst dps in the entire game. In the patch before that, her gun had fucking shotgun range
>>
>>500456840
>we need to run a special algorithm once a week to determine W/L ratios
that's why they say performance not results, retard.
>That's an utterly retarded way to calculate MMR
makes it fitting for the most dogshit ranked system ever created.

>>500392747
that might've been me lol

There has never been a point in this game where she wasn't overpowered. You just got memed into downplaying her despite the fact that any gun character that can fly is going to inherently be unfair as long as they have a team to protect them.
>>
anyone else just want to give up when they see mcginnis as your lane opponent
>>
>>500458350
So you are just retard and wrong then
>>
>>500458308
Holy shit, it's over.

>I'm archon 2
>friend is oracle 3
>we get wide skill range warning when playing together
Is the gap really THAT big...
>>
>>500458724
I'm archon 5 and my friend is oracle 4 and we don't get that.
>>
>>500458724
I guess so, since if you play solo, the lowest you should see is archon 5.
>>
>>500458476
idk what the FUCK they're doing with mcginnis
she's literally just heimerdinger now but without the turret cap
>>
>>500458481
he's right. you're retarded. even for a high dps ranged character who has to sit on the ground, like wraith, it's a huge feat to take her out during a teamfight without all of her team getting in the way. when you throw flight on top of that, fucking forget about it.

Deadlock needs an item that magnetizes a target enemy and makes nearby bullets home in on them.
>>
>>500459804
it works very well for me, but for others I know it doesn't work at all
>>
>>500460369
That's actually pretty cool. Please put that in the forums
