Do the tutorial, get a feel for each hero in sandbox mode, explore public item builds, watch replays. Playing a Hero for the first time will put you into a lower rank game*, so don't worry about it too much.

The excessive movement is getting nerfed in the same way ability range was nerfed. Obviously movment won't be removed from the game but we won't have characters that can permanently fly around the map as if they had active cheats like celeste or characters that can go up and down several building on zero stamina like mina. We can already see this with the vents/pads stun now dropping you down instead of where you're going on top of the damage and stun

I mean he top damaged the lobby on a losing team and his Seven did literally nothing all game. You can run suboptimal builds in basically any elo but E6 and make it work. Going negative is probably more him taking bad fights than running a suboptimal build.

doing top damage means nothing when u can't guarantee any kills and 0 objective damage. gun geist melts down objectives AND is insanely tanky
for reference at one point they were all fighting mid while i pushed green, geist came to defend and i just ignored her because i had spellbreak and took down a shrine with tombstone
>>
>>567322917
>he top damaged
metal rank mentality
that's all the build does, farm damage numbers
it's so deeply unthreatening and none of the damage actually matters
notice how she has barely any k/p? and seven has ~50% kp? something tells me his damage mattered more than hers

>>567323352
>>567323383
You're hallucinating a world where she does like 2k damage then the person teleports to their base and doesn't die. Trash damage is only trash damage if nobody follows up. Her KP is bad because she isn't fighting with her team, not because enemies just magically don't die specifically when spirit Geist is fighting them. Disclaimer, I'm not calling spirit Geist good, I'm saying that isn't why her team lost in a fuckin phantom 1 lobby. Builds barely matter until E6 and even then players are usually good enough to freeball it and make it work. Obvious exceptions being, like, all-green Mina or something.
>>

>play any hero who isn't a splitpusher

>>
>>567322917
Spirit Geist can top damage because their only role is spamming bombs from far away. Lots of damage but they don't do anything else as the enemies just ignore the bombs. Gun Geist can actually confirm the kills as she gets on your face with her drain.
>>
>>567323723
nothing you're saying makes sense. her damage is so fucking bad as spirit, the numbers are high but you can barely feel it
and like >>567323383 said, even tho seven got 0 kills and has a retarded build, he still was more useful than geist because of his ult and stun
it IS why her team lost in a phantom 1 lobby. notice how we all had spiri resi items (spellbreak, spiri resi) because THEIR WHOLE TEAM besides billy were HEAVILY focused in spirit damage.

my inhibitor with rico/split + toxic bullets completely cucked their team, i was just walking in and raping them with debuffs and they couldn't do anything because of my 60% spiri resistance

>>567323890
The game begins at E6. Scapegoating bad builds is cope. Any E6 player could run that shit build and rape your lobby with his eyes closed.
>>567323938
>geist had lowest KP in the game on an aoe slop build.
His build didn't make him magically not fight with his team. I'd bet money I could pull up that match id and watch the replay, the Geist will just be running around doing retarded shit the entire game.
>>567324137
So he was playing poorly if he was spamming bombs a mile away with nobody around to follow up. Spirit geist has a 54% wr, there are top 100 geists who run spirit, gun is def better but it can work just like most builds in the game if the person piloting is good enough.
>>567324313
In this lobby in particular, sure, he should have been able to see almost his entire team will be running spirit so he should pivot to gun. That's him also making a bad decision to L->R a spirit build and not adapt to the team comp. If his team had warden+gun lash+bebop or something then spirit would probably be a good call.

While I agree that it's ridiculous that you hypothetically need 3 organized knockdowns to take down a Vindicta with counterspell and dispel magic, however phantom strike exists. Now you just have to hope that your team aren't cowards and back you up, otherwise you end up in a 1v6 as the entire enemy team dishonorably defends their aimhacking troondicta

that is part of it, but a key part of his power is the resets.
you only need to hit four niggers for a 1 second cooldown which becomes two niggers if your rage is maxed.
his ult also got turned into a very fast and far dash that can also blow people up point blank or do a bunch of damage.

Explain to me why winning match right after losing a rank is not enough to get back that fucking rank?? You could get mvp or key player and yet it doesnt matter. You have to win 2 fucking matches in a row to get it back. There is 11 tiers in this fucking game, 6 ranks for each and yet they do this shit

I swear these niggers are making climbing intentionally diffilcut and yet im still seeing terrible players who just got into this game recently, being given away archon for free, never going down despite pisspoor performance on statlocker. And yet im here climbing from initiate 1 still constantly being trapped in lobbies with people who rather finish their jungle farm than go and defend the walker from troppers

>>567330023
its ok lil gup we know you are the bomb geist player

>>567327304
geist gun is very unpleasant to use, but you only need berserker and a investment into perhaps spellslinger or mercmag to make it relevant even if you are going spirit heavy on the items
i mean shit, mercmag literally lets you junction the purple into the gun so you can force anything

I've never even played geist, she seems boring. My entire position is "spirit geist is worse than gun, borderline bad in fact, but no build is bad enough that it's an outright throw pick regardless of skill, team comp, or circumstances" which is quantifiably correct by virtue of the fact that players in higher elo lobbies than you run spirit geist sometimes and win with it. What a dumb argument this is.

rank should equal better players which should equal better experiance but i guess in this dogshit game it doesn't

It should be a tangible proof of you getting better at the game and yet im constantly seeing people with 120 hours being placed in 75th procentile

since i was initiate 1 up to archon 4 i'm not seeing games improving one fucking bit, i've seen same amount of cooperation in intiate as i'm seeing now in archon so maybe you are right but that's not me, i take rank too seriously. I hope this game fails as a esport. With that kind of balance philosophy and ranked experiance, they can go fuck themselves
>>
>>567330379
her counterpart is old warden, so she is a beefy rape gun hybrid.
the fun comes from the fact she is that with a lifeswap, life drain and amp.
except she also has a bomb that leaves a puddle meant to accumulate spirit effects that people like to run because its a big sphere that does lingering damage for a while
the damage accumulation is just a lot of people getting hit for very small amounts at once which is why when you see it its normally fucking over since those people also don't want to spend a single item slot on berserker

Who's got a good Silver build ID? I don't play this character but my friend that's brand new to the game and got placed in initiate 1 decided to pick her as his main, but he always does the lowest player damage by far

I really don't get it. I've been watching troovement videos to see what the fuss is about and my takeaway is it's good for getting the jar faster, allows you to slightly get to camps and lanes faster, and it gives you a marginally better chance at 1v1s. How important are these micro advantages to the overall game and is it actually this underrated tech that it's hyped up to be?

The game completely discourages you from trying different characters because of the always ranked system and shitty matchmaking so you can be first time with a character and get paired by one trick pony smurfs.

Well misery loves company I guess, but I'd prefer if the game wasn't reliably placing complete newfags into oracle while completely ignoring actual smurfs. It really seems pretty easy to see a week-old account running a 30:1 kda and zipping around the map at mach speed in their calibration matches and immediately put them into ascendant at minimum.

>>567339624
the lower rank you are the easier it is to improve and plug huge holes in your gameplay. Once you get a working sense of the game you can run the lobby 1v11.
general advice as someone who was placed initiate when they started playing is to push lane, farm more, and don't join purposeless teamfights. If everyone's teamfighting at blue over nothing then eat one of their walkers for free
>>
>>567339630
the next patch will 100% fix matchmaking just trust me bro. account buyers fill mid eternus lobbies and the match quality is unironically fucking terrible 75% of the time. but trust me somethings on the way. I've been saying this since october but I mean it this time!

I placed initiate 2 and climbed out in like a week, just play an M1 carry and split walkers while they're doing ARAM trog shit. Walkers give you a billion souls so you'll be up like 20k souls at all times by the 25 minute mark and just delete people 1v3.

Anon, shitters are incapable of recognizing this. That's why every matchmaking bitchpost is about games they lost and never about games they won
>>
>>567347707
the idea is simply: the matchmaking is trying to force everyone to have exactly 50% WR so it's "balanced"
if you win too much, then it matches you up against people of higher rank, which should make you lose or if you improve you'll rank up
if you STILL win too much, then it matches you up alongside literal mouthbreathing homunculi that would not win a game even if they had a 10k from minute 0

>>
>>567348818
>usually my matches have the same average rank on both teams if im queueing solo
average rank can mean that a team has 1 eternus 5 player, 1 ascendant 5 and 4 oracles so it averages to ascendant 2 while the other has 6 ascendant 1-4 players so it averages to ascendant 3
it's the AVERAGE, doesn't means that the extremes can't be far away (they only show average instead of each player's rank to mask this, it's easy to confirm with tracking sites)
>how come this doesnt work when someone is smurfing?
it does, but if they are smurfing from a very high rank then they can still carry 5 initiate lobotomites against 6 alchemist mouthbreathers so it happens until they hit a high enough rank
smurfs also stop playing once they start getting pushback so that's why they end up with like 80% WR they win 15 games then lose 3 and make a new smurf

I played in 2024 and I do not remember. When they added rank I stayed far away from it before they turned casual into rank now. Lowest I can remember is Archon but because of the rank distribution I'm Ass5 now.
Ive played with a friend who is the blue rank and some of those lobbies feel like the same type of shit I would see in Phantom or Ascendant lobbies.
Look my point is the whole chasing rank up is pointless because its going to be shit or hollow regardless, just a different shade of paint.

This might sound like a dumb question, but should I be focusing soft targets as Haze? I feel like I spend a lot of effort trying to make my ult work against heroes with strong stuns, silences, or high hp, like apollo, wraith, mina, abrams, billy (usually through some expensive combo of silence wave, silencer, unstoppable or indomitable), when instead I could just be bullying paige or rem with my ult all match long instead.

if you want to rape people as haze, just walk into their jungle, farm and fuck their carries until they fall behind you

>>567355089
theres a tracker for time not spent on objectives that got datamined so this is precisely what you should not be doing
>>
>>567355963
I try to focus carries but it seems like most carries have very strong anti-gank abilities. Vyper has petrify, wraith has her bullshit ult + 1000m teleport, victor just gets back up. Obviously I try to target them when their ults are on cooldown, but that's a narrow window when they're afk farming

Faggot, haze has one of the strongest gun passives on the game especially early game, with a free invisibility ability and a knife that CCs people locking their movments for seconds, just gank someone who doesn't expect it with your invs+knife combo and then hose them down

>>
>>567334110
Knowing how to go from one end of a lane to another with one stamina lets you play laning phase aggressively more often.
Knowing how to gain height fast anywhere on the map lets you position better on every team fight or escape better. This is still a shooter after all.
Just knowing how to air dash slide spam (not even the instant air dash variety) lets you kite someone on flat ground efficiently. Good for escaping Haze ult or Warden cage.
These are just the simple variants of movement tech. They're easy to learn and have lots of benefits.

Learning difficult movement tech (e.g. corner boosting) is just when you want to get even more of an edge. A lot of the difficult ones don't give you much of an advantage and are only useful for specific routes. It's kind of like using an aim trainer. Only useful for people who are already so good at the game that they run out of easy advantages to chase.

unless it's abrams, apollo, calico, doorman, dynamo, holliday, ivy, kelvin, geist, mokrill, pocket, seven, shiv, sinclair, venator, viscous, vyper, or wraith, all of which have easy ways to avoid or stop your ult even through slowing hex

Only works late game, mayyyybe midgame if you rush it (not recommended), which brings us back to the original post: should haze just focus on soft targets instead of trying to force ult against all these heroes that can easily counter it? I'm leaning towards yes.

If you hear the curse go off it's a projectile and you can counterspell or unstoppable to block it. Indomitable also blocks it but it's a gamble if you'll even have it up.
>>
>>567360732
You're not really complaining about curse, you're complaining about Haze having a burst damage channeling ult that's easy to escape or stun cancel. What you really want is a haze rework so she doesn't have to rely on curse to be effective above archon, which most haze victims and many haze players would agree with

Almost every counter item you can think of right now goes up in usage as you go up in rank, save for the dispellable ones since dispel is bought so much in Eternus . The only dispellable active this isn't true for is slowing hex which goes from 9% at Ritualist to 14.4% at Eternus
Now you can argue about whether these stats should be higher or not, but the fact remains, despite "le high elo ego" you see more counter items being used at eternus than anywhere else.

nerf what, his gun? all hes doing is running up at the walker and shooting it and maybe dying then running away or killing the walker. its completely brainless literally just sit in a lane and shove everything up to and including shrines, with no regard for anything going on on the map. the lanemaxxing guarantees farm which guarantees dps on objectives, and his kit guarantees uptime on them too. And the one item that guarantees rapes him is fucking crippling headshot, a T4 item that isnt great against anybody BUT victor. it just sucks.

Usually but many characters have really bad guns for anything other than burst damage and kits that mandate they go into close-quarters with them, but spirit is just better at that sort of burst engagement. Calico and Abrams are the biggest offenders, but Abrams can get away with more because he's tankier and actually can manfight 2v1. People playing Calico rn are just gambling that one of the six enemy players isn't able to handle someone running in and dealing half their hp in the opening salvo.

>>567373719
Honesty and dishonesty is measured in knowledge checks. The more knowledge checks a character has, the less honest they are. If you find yourself saying "I didn't know he could do that" constantly when playing against a character, that character is probably dishonest. Using that framework, compare Doorman to Warden and tell me you don't understand the concept of honesty.

Yeah I'd say Miku is pretty honest. I can't think of much in her kit that's unintuitive, confusing, or requires a lot of experience to learn how to play around. Ult applying slow maybe?

I think my favorite thing about deadlock is that every character has clear windows of power throughout the meta stages of the game.

Ex, Haze has a strong lane with kives/fixation and solid midgame spike with ult. But as drawback, she also scales into an unkillable monster in the lategame!
>>
>>567378737
Honesty in a hero has a few variables
How hard are they to utilize?
What's the payoff for the utilization?
How hard are they to counterplay?
How rewarding is it to punish them?

Graves is extremely easy to wield, and the reward for playing her might be mediocre (tho it used to be great) but it is consistently low investment to get. Fighting graves might be straight forward but the amount of effort you need to kill her zombies, destroy the skulls, outrider her gun m1, dodge her walls often at the same time is easily twice to thrice the effort she puts into the fight. Not to mention if this happens during a team fight, over many small battles the mental toll it takes is quite annoying.

Yea I put her as average but honestly she's more realistically fair it's just ptsd from when she was extremely strong recently, the fact she can be disabled by slowing hex is a nice straightforward counterplay but the snowball effect of her passive is a bit annoying, overall fair though, melee heroes have to get in your face so plenty of options for counterplay generally speaking.

>>
>>567380878
the advantages of healing rite is the the +2 sprint speed to go run boxes (what you should do while low enough you'd use rite anyway) and it lets you heal your buddy. looking at just the long form healing is also ignoring that it's like 15/s regen which means you can get a bunch of burst healing to actually survive. extra regen is good too but it's for surviving endless chip damage instead of "this next spirit nuke is going to one shot me" pants shitting moments
>>
So when are they adding hero bans that actually function? I'll happily take stupidly long queue times if it means I never have to see another Victor ever.

>>567325281
>Z E R O healing done

it will show 0 if total self-damage inflicted is more than total healing done

>+2 sprint speed to go run boxes
Melee and shooting disables sprinting so if you're hitting boxes it's not doing a goddamn thing unless you're taking a long time between each box
>ignoring that it's like 15/s regen which means you can get a bunch of burst healing
Burst healing you are instantly deprived of if you so much as stub your toe, not great in an emergency
>it lets you heal your buddy
This is the only real upshot of it as an item, that it lets you share your sustain with your lane partner if they need it more than you. But even then in my experience most lane partners that would need the help are probably just going to waste the health you gave them.

I'm not even really a big proponent of Extra Regen, I'm a bigger fan of rushing Fortitude since it's Healing Rite but not dogshit, but I'd still take Extra Regen over Healing rite.
>>
>>567382407
>walk behind a tiny box
>I fire beam near you and still hit you because it has an AoE where you shoot it
Also "I can take cover" isn't a unique weakness, there's not exactly a breadth of ults that hit people through walls from across a lane.
If an ult is scary enough to force you to run and hide like a bitch then it's a good ult, shrinple as.
>>
>>567382905
when you have enough sprint speed you can just slide into boxes and keep moving, a sprint speed pretty much any character gets when using rite, this is also why a lot of people buy sprint boots cuz that has out of combat regen and now builds into trophy collector meme

Pure radioactive retardium take thinking that Graves is dishonest. She's the coughing baby of Deadlock right now and is more ass than a toilet seat at a trans rally. Her abilities unironically have to be set up to be used and have braindead counterplay. She has the lowest gun damage in the game and you have to be up their ass to even hit them, regardless of whether or not you need to aim to use it.

the thing about a 3K/26K lobby with a 20k soul defecit is that it's not unwinnable but it requires all members of your team to suddenly stop playing in whatever way that led them to go 3/26 in the first place, which does not fucking happen

I am the jailer. I simply do not give a fuck anymore. so if I'm gonna get hostaged in a 30 minute game out of my own volition (i can own up to my dogshit games) it's gonna be in a way that doesn't blacken my account as much as humanly possible. not that you'd understand, you're some league zygote that thinks every game is winnable even though you're down 40k and you have some unironic tranny piping up every fight 'just play safe just play safe' as we're bleeding out slowly because nobody is doing anything and the MM gave you the bottom 5 winrate heroes in the game all collectively on one team comp. or it's some faggot duoing with his ALCHEMIST 5 FRIEND hostaging (example) phantom lobbies that have no potential. 30 minutes wasted for everyone. the rape is guaranteed.

so you need this technology for the sake of your own sanity. the sooner people admit to themselves this considering the game isn't finished, the better. icefrog's a hack I don't know what made this game different over dota. dota was never this egregiously bad unless you count the very early 7.x patches or ~6.8xs

i am fully aware it makes me look like a cunt but I think it's in poor taste to force something with actually zero potential. in my perspective big comebacks do not feel satisfying the 10% chance they do happen. is my brain just fucked where it's more, 'wow the enemy team tossed' and less 'dude we played so well lash got ONE ult i have officially improved in this scenario'

this is not a thought in my brain until like ten mistakes all collectively happen in the span of 20 minutes. realistically I could just pivot to something more constructive but mindlessly pushing lanes does not illicit improvement either right

I simply refuse to believe there isn't a point where you check out at all
The part in your long match history where you think 'I've been in this exact scenario before a thousand times' and nothing happens contrary to it. Look at the people complaining about the mm quality here all the fucking time. Is it a coincidence? Placebo? I go in my statlocker in some games I actually tried in and it's a pingpong of people 4-5 brackets lower than mine somehow sneaking into my lobbies at a very regular pace. But the nature of the game forces you to be that guy in the lobby every single game. The sole driving factor. I guess. I don't know, getting that mental space there is infinitely less interesting than it was in Dota. Dota felt like you could actually skillcheck people better without having to worry about 3 peons minimum all collectively rubbing the one brain cell they have to stand in lanes and fight people they shouldn't be.

clearly just play seven every game I should hold the L already

They could just chuck an extra minute cooldown on his ult and it would tone it the fuck down. It's the sheer fact that he can go buy compressed cooldown on ult and pressure your walkers with a free revive that rapes the walker every 82s. like people are just quite literally putting a casual point in pain battery and a casual point in aura for the aids slow and just maxing ult and running it the fuck down.
>>
>>567401116
of course there's games where i've checked out in. but i recognize that's a terrible habit, not something to resign myself to. it's setting yourself up to fail, to ignore opportunity and decide prematurely the outcome of the match based on my human fallible emotionally driven reading of the situation
also come on, people complain about MM in every fucking game. it's a constant like blaming your team, or a broken character, or lucky shots, and so on. it's cope
okay well. the MM in this game is actually exceptionally retarded right now, will probably be better when it goes into beta and has a normal queue. but STILL. half these "MM sucks" posters are players who just get teammates that shit the bed as if that's not going to happen at literally any rank always and forever
>>
>>567402264
yeah i know i don't use the mm excuse lightly but it's within the context of it being extra bad lately
i would not care otherwise i know i am not a great player. checking statlocker and seeing people in lobbies that are below even my level just compounds a sort of pressure on my shoulders that doesn't feel deserved or earned
>>
>>567370117
You can't do damage to an opponent you have cursed, CC still works however. Remove the damage reduction from it. Maybe make it a T3 item.

>>567400251
>mo&krill, celeste,
Disarm huge heal and infinitely scaling damage are not honest, not to mention the unfair armour and MS he gets from burrowing and his ult
>lash and ivy should be in honest
Ivy has i-frames with a huge heal and lash can just stay in the air almost indefinitely while clearing half the map in distance, they're not the worst but not the best either, they stay in average
>warden, wraith, haze, infernus and mirage should be in dishonest
Fair enough desu, though i personally wouldn't put them there because i can't really justify them being in the same tier as victor(lmao i don't die) giest(lmao i turn of any fight with 1 button) apollo(FOUR. MOVMENT. ABILITIES.) and celeste(0 gravity and 4 stamina lmao, i can just fly) But i wouldn't mind anyone putting them there, it's not that far off imo

>>567402640
that's the shit that i'd also just avoid doing. like realistically, what does checking statlocker give you, besides cope?
my mentality about overlays that tell you the ranks of your team/opponents (or otherwise checking it) in all games is that it's just another spook. another way to mindfuck yourself out of the things you should actually be concerning yourself with. it's on par with holding tab and picking your targets to blame.
even worse in this game, statlocker is approximating player ranks. there is no proper API for it, it's a prediction based off of incomplete data. shit, it has me as 2 subdivisions lower than what i actually am, and lower still than what i predict myself easily climbing to

rename to impending doom
the curse applies after a delay but can't be counterspell'd/indomitable'd. perhaps it still can be unstop'd, though maybe not to 'simplify' the interaction and purpose of the item
and maybe while cursed by it you're revealed and take increased damage
the idea is that you can't curse to instantly force a pick, and you can't curse reactively as a panic button.
you have to use it deliberately and the target has an opportunity to bug out before it hits. you have a window to deliberately take advantage of while that carry is shut down
in my head a clock appears over either your hero or as a screen overlay, with 2-3 very emphasized and heavy sounding ticks before the final one hits with a cacophony of haunted grandfather-clock-chiming that everyone can hear and which lasts for the duration of the curse
i feel like this might make it feel a little exciting and emphasized. you're the most important person. you're now being targeted by THE shutdown item. and now everyone in the lobby, importantly including your team, is aware of your temporary vulnerable state

>>567404352
19 deaths is way too much though. i mean they won, and it wasn't happening before dumping his damage, clearly. but damn son that's brutal. it's okay to die for a good play, but there's no way that was 19 good and necessary deaths

This patch is especially awful, I agree. Movement is still WAY too overpowered and easy with characters like Mina and Celeste and Apollo being impossible to lock down because Slowing Hex and Knockdown don't mean shit when everyone has dispel magic (and mina has 3 free disjoints that teleport her across an entire lane)

>McGinnis and Victor both at 55-56% winrates
>Both have access to hyper cancer slows that also slow dashes
HMM
So when are we removing stamina regen off stamina items and replacing it with dash slow resistance? Because it's fucking CLEARLY the issue when your dashes turn into idle animations whenever either of these coon toons apply a "25%" dash slow to you.
>>
>>567404736
>(and mina has 3 free disjoints that teleport her across an entire lane)
Don't forget she can also dodge hex/curse with said iframes!!!
>>
>>567405539
The free healing from Rake also makes it pretty hard to punish her for having low HP, since she can just rake the minion wave/small camp and get a gigantic heal from it.

This is their CD after upgrading the ults to the max, not accounting for the CD reduction item
This is also based on how the ults operate currently, i would be fine with lowering the CD if the effects of the ults get nerfed
fun fact, minas ult does 1% of your current hp with each bat, this basically means that if she lands all 75 base bats she does 52.9% MAX HP damage to you, not accounting for stacks and the flat damage of each bat

what? Victor's ult isnt 300s max am i high? its 100s
>>
>>567405593
yep some team mate of mine called mina as 'literally 1' and I went and dived her on support to try sacrifice myself for a carry kill and she just walked upto a jungle camp and raked it and got like 20% of her health back and I just died. fucking cancer.
>>
>>567405645
Uh huh say that when you get a 0 14 0 Seven in your game im still trying to figure out how the fuck thats possible
>>
>>567405865
No dude you don't get it, it's okay for Mina to have a spammable heal that is also an execute and also a farming tool/aoe wave clear, because uhh... she has low hp, so she also gets 3 massive teleports that disjoint everything sent at her, oh and also she gets a free movement passive with the umbrella because she wasn't mobile enough.
>>
>>567405842
>what? Victor's ult isnt 300s max
That's how they should be not how they are, I'm saying victor's ult should be 300 CD not 100 CD
>am i high?
Idk, probably
>its 100s
yeah right now, I'm proposing that they nerf that ults CD
>>
>>567406350
Oh sorry need 2 read properly
>>
>>567406350
>what if mina ult had twice the cd of seven ult
>>
>>567405621
Your charts fucked. Do it again. Ivy is 85s and it's reduced by like 25% (so like 63s) whenever you use it on an ally.
>>
>>567405987
>she has low hp
the absolute best part of this is that she can just build siphon bullets anyway and this stops being real
>>
>>567406464
It's an instant kill that silences so yeah it probably should have a much longer cooldown than the tickle monster
>>
>>567406653
Most Mina players will pick up extra HP into fortitude anyway.

>not accounting for ... the flat damage of each bat
that's important. because if it's like tankbuster where the spell damage comes before the %chp damage, that makes the effective damage considerably lower
>>
>>567379064
Haze is a lot worse than other carries late game, and there's a big time frame starting from first ult spike to any late game power where the character feels like the worst pick character in the game

Stop treating her like a carry and spam nigger actives with your ult on cooldown. Buy curse.
