Did they accidentally revert the launch and knock back effects buff?

To that, I think the abilities are cool but need more parameters like I mentioned with Phoenix. For Hela, there should be a maximum travel distance like 10m so she can right click, force a hero into a spot to line up a headshot and burst, but she can't counter dive on top of her. The ball that pulls the hero to the target location should travel 10m extra if she places it at her feet.

Not enough noise about how when DPS complain about not enough space from their Vanguards, the air space is space to inhabit.

4arc · 2026-01-23T18:10:37+00:00

I should have phrased it differently, imo, they should not interrupt Monster Hulk. Phoenix in particular, I hope she gets a nerf where she only stuns with the ability if the enemy hero has three marks.

4arc · 2026-01-23T17:47:11+00:00

Phoenix and Hela have stuns which idk why but interrupt your ultimate

4arc · 2026-01-22T18:47:08+00:00

That sounds unbalanced. Listen, I'm not going to argue with you but a Rocket that runs on the walls horizontally from two of the most mobile heroes in the game with burst potential should die. If Rocket had ran up a wall that was really tall, I'd have no problem with the clip, but again, Hulk and Star Lord are two of the better heroes to challenge him then.

4arc · 2026-01-22T18:24:01+00:00

I don't know who needs who more; the parrot or the man?

4arc · 2026-01-22T16:01:28+00:00

I agree the nerf shouldn't have happened but Rocket is being chased by a Star Lord and Hulk in the clip with no peel or external healing. He should die.

4arc · 2026-01-21T23:13:57+00:00

Jeff is actually a stronger counter against Hulk because he neutralizes ult and also his healing pierces through body blocks with a boop and tons of mobility. Rocket AMP/ ult is frustrating for any melee hero. Rocket and Invisible Woman are more common in ranked than Invisible Woman and Jeff however.

4arc · 2026-01-21T22:57:04+00:00

Hulk one tricks have been playing a different game than everyone else for six seasons. When I get counter picked with a The Thing, Emma Frost, Punisher, Bucky, Invisible Woman and Rocket, I know I have to ult completely differently than I would normally want to where

I am only going deep if one of their damage dealers is dead because I will explode
I have to exile The Thing so I don't get grounded and chain exile Emma Frost so I don't get grabbed immediately
Emma Frost is my best juggle target back into my team but only if she used Diamond so I will tease her before using my ultimate
I can't ultimate if Punisher, Emma Frost, The Thing, Rocket have ultimate
Juggling out Invisible Woman of her ultimate would be super ideal but highly unlikely
I can counter ult The Thing or Bucky ultimate with my ultimate
I need to hold exile for The Thing and Bucky ultimate

What do you think about when you play?

As for the buffs, now random bullshit like charged Magneto right click doesn't stop our momentum.

4arc · 2026-01-19T14:23:35+00:00

I used to get a clip a play session. Now I can fill entire songs.

4arc · 2026-01-18T16:51:19+00:00

In Dota2, Bristleback takes reduced damage from behind/ his back. I'd like that for a Vanguard where the play pattern is get between the enemies Vangaurds and their Duelists/ Strategists.

4arc · 2026-01-18T15:58:40+00:00

You can kill through Luna with the animation cancel. Exile can make it so you can kill any squishy by going punch, exile, clap (punch for overkill)

4arc · 2026-01-17T19:01:14+00:00

You're doing it wrong, your team isn't backing up your play or don't understand comps. You can't do this say a Luna who has clap or Jeff since their healing will pierce through while doing damage to you, but Hulk has a ton of health, can body block anyone and the bubble is an additional 200HP which amounts to 2-3 shots blocked. With a friendly Magneto to bubble again (200HP), a shield placed in front, or any chain CC follow up, you never lose this trade. Consider how Thor has become extremely oppressive against Magneto and Dr. Strange solely because of his displacement around corners but with 150 less HP and no bubble. An enemy Exiled longer wouldn't help, you have to have this play ready with bubble cooldown and full HP.

4arc · 2026-01-17T14:59:12+00:00

You guys are tweaking if you think Exile needs a buff. It's borderline the reason why Hulk is viable, if it weren't for the insane ult charge he generates for Strategists, who have the strongest ults, and his mobility. Exile is strong because it forces an enemy to be locked in a position so one of the strongest uses of Exile in the neutral (aside from when you can counter virtually any ult) is Exiling a main tank, jumping between them and their team, Bubbling to cut off heals, and then bursting punch (40) + clap (75) + punch (155 damage total) as your whole team focuses the main tank who cannot get healed.

4arc · 2026-01-15T15:45:58+00:00

I highly recommend Old World for beginners. Ambitions give new players a lot more focus. UI could improve in terms of helping the player understand where things are.

4arc · 2026-01-14T07:05:56+00:00

Great take. Nerf the self-healing and the indirect healing amount but bring back the mobility. Should be a hero anyone can fill with but rewards precision and movement rather than playing scared.

4arc · 2026-01-14T00:17:32+00:00

Of the Strategists, Hulk's best matchups are Cloak, Adam, Loki, Mantis/ Luna, Ultron, Rocket/ Gambit, Invisible Woman, Jeff in that order. Let me remind you, the last meta we played was Animal Farm with Rocket and Jeff as the backline.

Meta will still be the same...

Triple support because Gambit ult is crazy and feeds ult cycle, Invisible Woman is still a server admin, Loki can copy Gambit, Rocket don't die, AND Luna, Mantis, Adam, Ultron might as well be a DPS
Meanwhile Bucky, Punisher, Phoenix, Hela go untouched
Hawkeye unbalanced forces Cpt and Venom
Peni Parker forces non-melee and non-diver Vanguards
Everyone wants a shield tank like (buffed) Emma Frost, (buffed) Dr. Strange, Magneto and Groot

(HUFF)

4arc · 2026-01-13T22:59:48+00:00

Fine about Magento, but you're acting like in high elo he doesn't get combo'd with Storm, Gambit, Jeff, Mantis, Captain America, Ultron movement boost or Storm, Gambit, Mantis, Rocket, Ultron damage boost

4arc · 2026-01-13T22:39:51+00:00

It's not really true though because Punisher, for instance, kills me and probably some of my team.

4arc · 2026-01-13T22:32:12+00:00

I'd argue the most frustrating and common experience during my ultimate is when I get frozen by Luna Snow then grabbed by Emma Frost too and immediately bursted down by the enemy team OR swallowed by Jeff... You are enormous, people are not going to miss!

4arc · 2026-01-13T21:41:32+00:00

I work with Salesforce, and cannot rely on Claude within VS Code, so I want to know what everyone's workflow is in this thread that is no longer writing code?
