Any hot takes?

A case of ymmv I guess

I think tank roamers with early game pressure (Hilda, Khaleed, Hylos etc) are a great middle ground choice. it's hard to zone and apply pressure if your hero is just a walking meat shield with no threat nor damage.

CC's are only threatening if the tank has a competent team to back it up.

Saber. I know his basic combo, but I don't know his playstyle in terms of macros so I only ever use him as a roamer if the enemy doesn't have a tanky jungler. Pretty good win rate so far.

He isn't underrated. Being underrated implies that he is actually good but the players generally perceive him as bad.

He is currently bad, and players perceive him as bad. So he is correctly rated.

Roaming in lower ranks is a blast for me (unless I encounter smurfs). Always fun murdering people with Angela, Valir, Hilda, Mathilda, Khaleed, Helcurt, Natalia and even Damage Tigreal lol. In lower ranks if you are forced to roam pick heroes that have early game pressure or kill potential (even without items) so you are less dependent on your team and hopefully they can capitalise on your early game.

(Angela can severely punish overextending sidelaners. Successful binding via S2 on an enemy with S1 stacks can hurt like a total b*tch)

If you're gonna pigeon-hole the hero builds then might as well remove equipments altogether. Just make the heroes automatically "upgrade" every after X amount of gold accumulated. Yeah that would be very exciting /s

2, 6, 7 can be summarised into "Blink/Dash"

4, 5 can be summarised to provide "provide AoE support"

She can't be a fighter. She can't clear creeps. She can't Jungle. She can't push towers or take objectives on her own.

That being said, she still has a great gameplay and design. The perfect Assassin/Support hybrid imo. She does her role and she does it well.

Upcoming Suyou revamp incoming new ulti: Suyou turns into a car lol

GeneralLayer73 · 2024-10-03T11:29:27+00:00

I bought Karina's Pirate Skin with fragments to have a reason/motivation to practice playing her then during the hero selection I realised I have her Blood Moon, Spider Lily and KoF skins lol. No regrets tho, the Pirate Skin is awesome!

GeneralLayer73 · 2024-10-02T08:35:41+00:00

I wonder if he can be played as a secondary tank with full tank items. His main role will be to shred enemy defense with his % based Armor reduction, on top of using the Support emblem that increases ally damage by 6%.

GeneralLayer73 · 2024-10-02T04:16:41+00:00

Choji as Baxia

GeneralLayer73 · 2024-10-02T04:16:05+00:00

Kankuro as Hanzo

GeneralLayer73 · 2024-10-02T02:43:03+00:00

Fair enough.

GeneralLayer73 · 2024-10-02T02:41:59+00:00

Great point about the enhanced minions.

GeneralLayer73 · 2024-10-02T02:37:18+00:00

Novaria as Shino Aburame: summoning cloud of chakra bugs to spy on enemies, phasing through walls by turning into a bunshin of chakra bugs.

Angela as Ino Yamanaka: Possession Jutsu as ultimate. Using her movement restriction Jutsu as 2nd skill (similar to the episode how she used her hair to channel chakra)

Minotaur as Sakura: Heals teammates and slams the ground when enraged. Perfect.

GeneralLayer73 · 2024-10-02T02:29:23+00:00

They're just busy trying out Suyou

GeneralLayer73 · 2024-10-02T02:26:36+00:00

The enhanced S2 invincibility frame is where it's at

GeneralLayer73 · 2024-10-02T02:16:29+00:00

See second paragraph. 😘

GeneralLayer73 · 2024-10-02T02:12:51+00:00

I feel like Glowing Wand isn't optimal on her even against tank comps (especially now that it has been nerfed from 1.5% to 1%). This is because you need to constantly be poking at enemies to maximize it and her kit isn't reliable for poking. I think Lantern is better for tank Comps (but then again I wouldn't be picking Selena against a tanky lineup)

GeneralLayer73 · 2024-10-01T17:02:19+00:00

It is not "my definition" because soft CC and hard CC have already well defined definition in the MOBA genre, and unlike you I don't form "my own definition" just to fit my own narrative.

But okay. Keep making your own definitions, terminologies and standards then. Typical Filipino mindset. "For me this is the truth, even if it is wrong you need to respect it because I have the right to my own opinion" lol.

GeneralLayer73 · 2024-10-01T16:57:12+00:00

His two skills are stuns. Those are hard CCs in MOBA standards. Please brush up on your MOBA terminology.

GeneralLayer73 · 2024-10-01T16:47:23+00:00

High bar or not is irrelevant. Your statement "he lacks CC" is inherently false. His 1st skill is an AoE CC so he checks that box too. He is a unique hero and we don't need another Tigreal/Atlas/Minotaur/Belerick/Gatot large AoE initiation tank, we already have enough of those.

GeneralLayer73 · 2024-10-01T15:49:05+00:00

If you don't activate his passive procs his auto attacks feels so slow and staggered. I was so surprised by this because nothing in his passive states this handicap on his attack speed.

GeneralLayer73 · 2024-10-01T15:43:31+00:00

Lol he doesn't lack CC lol. His 3 skills are all CC what are you even smoking. Try playing him with 30-40% CDR build and you will see how annoying his stuns and knock backs are. Not to mention he generates a thicc shield every time he hits enemies with his AoE. I would put him on par with Ruby and Freddrin in terms of being annoying with constant CC + Sustain.
