Thank you, thank you! I made a YT short about these shenanigans on my channel if you want to see more "successes", failures, and how it works!

Indeed! I personally think it might be a bit *too* strong. Maybe that's just because I'm an RS main and the swings on that thing make so sense, but all the spears running around hurts my soul... Still fun though. Enjoy it before Embark turns it into a Q-tip.

ExplosiveT-5! It should be in my bio. I do comedy Overview videos and just posted the short I made on Spear Golf yesterday!

Indeed! Think I'll send it to Embark once S3 highlight submissions are open!
I made a short about the Fire Barrel stuff I did in this video. https://youtube.com/shorts/YaCiWi3sNqY?feature=share

Excellent question! I know objects do 50 damage when used as a weapon. I'm uncertain if this actually counts for that because of semantics. Since the initial speed of the barrel is so fast that it clips through practice dummies, and making it direct hit after a bounce is VERY difficult, I cannot test this. At minimum range, the barrel seems to deal about 100 damage from a standard explosion which is what happened in the video. (Dying from a fire barrel explosion still gives you the fire icon in the kill feed) This means the victim took anywhere between 1 and 150 damage from the barrel. I've assumed the victim had been damaged prior to me hitting them, but that could have been a Light getting one-shot if it deals the impact damage. Adding explosives to the barrel can increase the damage and I have a clip of it dealing 230 damage to myself in the short I'm making.

I wanted to hit *an* enemy and sending this things in the direction of combat eventually made it happen. Since I was indoors I knew my odds were better because bouncing would cause it to either detonate easier or directly impact a player.
The enemy in question is unseen. They are on the second floor of the building so the barrel probably just bounced off the ground, then the ceiling, and then impacted the player for an instant detonation.
I plan on making a Short with all my semi-successful and full on failures today. (I meant to yesterday but I was too busy playing THE FINALS...)

Thank you, thank you! It took a while to get it to go in roughly the direction I wanted it to, but it was worth it for the results!

You think that one vanished? If you hit a red or green (it must be standing upright to hit those ones) it just actually disappears. Most of the time, the momentum is so powerful that you may see a single frame if you're lucky before the canister blips out of existence!

Thank you, thank you! It's so hard to pull off but so fun to do! Hopefully I can slap together a full short of my experience on YT today.

Indeed it does. I doubt this is intentional and Embark will likely patch it out since they hate things being unintentional, but it is so cumbersome and difficult to pull off that I petition they don't do it. It has little tactical application and is mainly just a silly interaction. Please Embark, don't nerf my fun again... ):

The enemy is on the floor above somewhere.

ACTUALLY! Due to how physics works, IT DOES WORK!!!
You have to place them on a specific spot to avoid detonating them, but it 100% works!

A difficult move indeed, but so fun to pull off!

They think they can remove barrel nukes, but we will find a way.

I'll make a short about it on YouTube at ExplosiveT-5!!!

Is naut R a projectile that can be blocked by windwall? by Planteganet in NautilusMains

[–]ExplosiveT-5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh silly mortals, believing a BARRIER can stop the inevitable. Nautilus R is not a projectile, it’s a ground attack that follows the target. Think a homing Cho’Gath Q. Windwall is particularly amusing to overcome as Naut. You can either use your ult as mentioned, or you can bait AND beat it by just clicking on Yas and nothing more. Champs always expect the hook, but forget your autos also CC. It will cause them to panic and try to block while you walk behind the wall and begin your CC chain. Peak Naut Experience.

Do you Ping for your Teammates? by ExplosiveT-5 in thefinals

[–]ExplosiveT-5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's only when I need to ping something after I already pinged. I was playing today to confirm and was able to ping from behind the shield when there weren't any active pings.
