err posted:arent you able to use a controller on a phone? it depends on the game, some shooters like fortnite support controllers natively and work exactly like the console version, but others require awkward workarounds to map controller inputs into emulated touch inputs

Got a 2836 damage match! Third match in the 2800s since I started playing, and the intervals between those keep getting shorter. Probably would have gotten 3000 and the win if my third didn't quit early on, or if my second didn't consistently wander off. Gonna get a double hammer one of these days  Weirdest part is how effortless the whole thing was, no doubt because I was using the two guns I have the best handling with, Flatline and TT. I was landing basically every single one of my shots, chaining headshots and soloing whole squads because I could tell within seconds of engagement that I could take them. Making successful and risky plays every chance I got only resulted in weakened and dazzled squads, which snowballed into yet more kills. Is this how good players feel all the time? Is the secret to be full of yourself, even contemptuous???

Honestly it's probably less likely you would've hit 3000 if your third had been around and competent enough to point their gun at the enemy. catgirlgenius posted:Weirdest part is how effortless the whole thing was, no doubt because I was using the two guns I have the best handling with, Flatline and TT.

It's crazy versatile, the spray is easy to control, and the Anvil mode hits like a truck.

I swear to god, people playing complicated FPS games on phone blows my old person mind. Like, I remember my dad being impressed the first time I showed him a mouselook game; he didn't understand how i could manage the coordination necessary to do it. I feel the exact same way when i see someone playing Fortnite or Apex on touch.

if you know the jump is coming it's a relatively easy track, which is why as octane it's very good to use it when being pursued and then turn around and shoot skeet. the new faster jump feels a lot safer but that might just be proximity to the ground.

The jump is whatever, the VTOL looks like it'll make her even more mobile than release Horizon. Remember that one killstreak video of the Horizon player constantly lifting into windows on Fragment?

Horizon nerf is going to do gently caress all from every horizon fight being "lift, ult, nade, win". It's funny because they mention that they don't want fuse to become a character that kills you with abilities in the same patch notes, but that's basically all she does.

Horizon should still have plenty of time to throw the lift and shield battery before she reaches the top, just can't get a complete phoenix kit off while being impervious due to janky hitboxes, remains to be seen how jank the hitbox is after the acceleration strafing nerf.

I am going to miss the hammerpoints and I don't see the buffs being anywhere near enough to not drop those weapons the instant you come across anything else in their ammo class.

But the thing I don't get is why nerf them at all when nobody plays them to begin with.

Because she was buffed in a big way to be able to actually use full movement while waiting on the bracelet and putting it back on, that is massive compared to lazily throwing down a second black market in the same location during downtime, and if they actually finally fixed it bugging out half the times you throw it that opens so many more situations you can reliably use it to escape or assault instead of just using it to get out from behind cover to another piece of cover. Imagine this scenario, you are being chased as Loba in the open and you throw your bracelet to the left and run right, pre-patch you are a sitting duck and go down in half a second before it activates, post-patch the pursuers need to make the choice to follow the bracelet which you can cancel or follow you still moving at full speed with the risk of being juked by the bracelet.

As for Loba that 30 seconds isn't going to make any real difference but her tactical being improved/not broken should help quite a bit. I agree that I can't think of many times where my buddy didn't have the ult when he wanted it (pretty much plays Loba exclusively lol). It's definitely a net gain.

Loba changes good. Just slam down one of a million UA's that get left by even the greediest looters if it isn't quite charged when you hit a PoI. Marksman weapons getting a movement/handling speed buff is a godsend. Gonna look forwards to Octanes regularly murdering themselves with Stims.

I like getting a good scope on a g7 but even with iron sights I can still plink off folks on the run. Using that and and L-STAR I got a win after we pinned a squad into one of the bunkers in the phase runner bubble. L-STAR just stiffarms people

I'm thinking about switching from Loba to Crypto main anyway, I just had a lot of fun winning a game 2v3 by blowing up a bunker with Watson, Caustic and Lifeline. They just need to give him a passive ability.

Hell, even just being able to look at champion banners in drone mode to see if there are squads within 200 meters of crypto is nuts by itself.

That's the entire point of his drone though. Imagine if Bangalore's active was the smoke grenade and her passive was "Enemies are unable to see through smoke created by your grenades."

A true passive ability would be an innate buff that gives him a unique feature to all other legends. The only thing that even comes close to his "passive" is his ability to use survey beacons without his drone. But bloodhound and pathfinder both have that ability too and Valkarie soon.
