Four games in a row where we have an unlucky third annihilator fight that turns a sure-thing into an instant reversal. I really dislike the annihilator.

Eigo posted:I don't think this is the case anymore, they nerfed his shield HP a shitload and he does very little damage without being directly in their face which he isn't going to pull off without his team or some weird 1 on 1 fight where someone lets him get close. I remember goons showing earlier Tank videos where he was basically unkillable, but right now he's pretty hard to get in for damage without dying unless your whole team is there to back you up. Tank is still ridiculously good. They didn't really nerf his damage because most of it comes from Death Blossom and ad grenades.

Vanderdeath posted:I really wish the Endorsement and Product system was better and wasn't such a giant goddamn sink because right now it feels like an afterthought. I don't really see endorsement or product prices changing much. They're intentionally expensive to encourage you to buy boosts and to drain your coins so you have to spend real money on pros.

XboxPants posted:I've heard people suggest that the neutrals do more damage than the spawned counterparts. Anyone know if this is true? Also, is it me, or can bouncers grab you from, like, 6 feet away? Bouncers are really buggy, yeah. They'll pretty regularly grab you despite being nowhere near you so if you can't remain airborne for the entire fight you should just bail.

Rorus Raz posted:Karl got nerfed, so we'll see how that plays out. It's an incredibly minor nerf for Karl. The issue with his new alt-fire is that there's no reason to stop firing it, ever. You can fire it while shooting.

I main Karl and he's just bananas right now. He already did great damage but with the change to his alt-fire it's pretty much a guaranteed kill on anyone if I land my stun.

washow posted:I tried Karl a couple days ago for the first time and I didn't feel very effective since I was obviously playing him wrong. Prioritize Offense>Stun>Karl Jr with the occasional level in Defense when you feel like you need it. Karl is honestly really simple and once you're able to start landing his stun you're unstoppable. If you manage to stun someone then use your primary while spamming the alt fire and throw out a Karl Jr. Beyond the absolute early game this'll usually kill anyone that isn't fully armored. fake edit: also use Critically Late because it's super overpowered.

washow posted:So you don't really use the grenade launcher stuff? I do but I wasn't really thinking about it when I posted that. It's a fantastic weapon to use at range because the grenades will explode in the air if they're fired too far. Once you figure out where to stand on each map you can blow up turrets and do shitloads of instant damage to people without any real possibility of punishment. edit: did the latest patch break fullscreen windowed? The console command and option in the menu both cause me to crash. Phoix fucked around with this message at Mar 12, 2012 around 05:02 |

Removal of Uber points is a pleasant surprise. The alternate currencies that F2P games have moved towards is really gross and I'm glad to see at least one of them dropping it.

I feel like Megabeth is completely out-of-control OP. She has insane damage and AoE pushing power along with mobility and a potentially AoE snare. The only thing she isn't good at is healing and that's because she can't.

Violently Car posted:Megabeth's damage is only good up close where she can hit you with Whirling Derbish. Her rockets are actually not that fantastic and pretty easy to dodge. Unfortunately she's always up close because she can push a lane like no one else. edit: and the rockets do absolutely bonkers damage.

Well Karl isn't fun to play anymore. edit: For content, the delay on his primary alt fire makes it worthless and the only threat he posted early-game in the way of his stun is completely neutered. Phoix fucked around with this message at Apr 6, 2012 around 05:43 |

Leo is an annoying piece of poo poo to play against and I hope they never add another character like him. I really dislike every part of this patch. edit: Except the matchmaking if that works, I guess.

XboxPants posted:Man, it'd be really cool if this was just the very first rough draft of him and they were planning on throwing in tons of massive tweaks in every patch to come for the next month or two. But, what am I saying, that couldn't happen! Just like every other new pro, they put him out now in 100% finished form and will never change him at all. It's absolutely reasonable to be upset if he's broken right now. Uber has never patched any of the new pros after their release before, after all. I guess you'd rather everyone just be 100% positive about the game all the time and have everything stay the same. Also he's probably going to stay annoying because the last thing this game needed was a character that buffed bots and pushed incredibly well.

Karl's level 1 stun is now so slow that it's possible to throw it straight ahead and have Karl run into it.

Whenever they nerf Veteran's claw I hope they do it in an ultra stupid way like Karl's stun and make it so that he can claw himself.

I really hope they remake Leo at some point. He just makes the least interesting part of the game even worse and it's not fun to play against him.

The money changes are terrible and make the early game completely irrelevant but at least it makes the 0-15 Spark in every game less of a detriment.

DangerKat posted:I know nothing about what goes into matchmaking but with the way the player count was going down, it seems like getting a larger population in there might help refine the issues? As it is the matchmaking is really obviously not even trying to find balanced matches.

Orange Crush Rush posted:I wanted Gunner to get a buff but... those weren't the buffs I was asking for. It is nice seeing him get some love but, drat. Lock-on rockets shouldn't cause knockback. In fact lock on anything shouldn't affect people outside of damage and blinds. I'm pretty sure balance is just throwing poo poo at a wall to see what sticks at this point. Ka-Claw remains untouched while Karl can still run into his own stun at level 1.

Violently Car posted:Support and Combat Girl are simply bonkers now (not that they weren't before). Giving them money for restoring armour means they get a level advantage at pretty much all points of the game. I don't think they should be able to grant armour at all (and armour should be more generally accessible), so this, to me, is a step back. Support and CG will be nuts until they realize that the reason support/heal classes are allowed to exist in other MOBA's is because they have limitations on their heals and armor doesn't exist. edit: I know you already mentioned armor but I just wanted to restate because seriously gently caress the healing classes as currently implemented.
