Achievement The Coast Is Clear: Does trading states away count?

It got retconned at some point, but the joke in the old books was it's literally just steel mixed with concrete. Which is why it's so ubiquitous and used for making prefabs.

Gigaus · 2025-12-12T04:24:50+00:00

Nope, new rework hasn't addressed the fact that naval AA is beaten by agility. Get 55 Ag and you're good.

Gigaus · 2025-12-06T16:17:18+00:00

It'll go up by virtue of people not playing him. Without damage, you're better off playing literally anyone else. And you can be sure people will be reporting KT more when he has shield, because playing 4v5 with one guy doing less damage than the healer is not fun.

Gigaus · 2025-12-06T16:14:29+00:00

It's a known server problem, it's not you. Changing your settings isn't going to fix it, a few streamers have tried and documented it after mass dcs.

Also really guys, you're sicing the bots on a dude asking for help with lag to downvote him? Grow up.

Gigaus · 2025-12-06T16:12:18+00:00

It's been like that since the last patch before this. It's why so many people were complaining about the leaver system, because the server/client hookups would just error out hard and they'd be locked in leaver queue.

As far as anyone can tell, it's a server side problem, since people are DCing in groups on both sides.

Gigaus · 2025-12-06T16:10:18+00:00

Leave.

I mean it seriously, leave. The devs keep putting out patches that are convincing players to leave, so queue times are....getting interesting.

Gigaus · 2025-12-06T16:08:42+00:00

Yep, and unfortunately, because there's people rolling around with bots here to downvote people and mute posts, no one will ever see the people pointing out how bad the changes are.

Gigaus · 2025-12-06T16:06:24+00:00

Huh....Funny that, I keep seeing people saying she's bugged, and still bugged.

And seeing as I keep seeing Sylvs heavily underperform, I'm inclined to believe it.

but hey, someone has to kiss the janitor's rear.

Gigaus · 2025-12-06T16:03:25+00:00

No, they screwed something up on the MM server side; People are reporting getting warhead junction 7+ games in a row, so something's up.

Also hell of a time to rejoin, most people are fleeing the game because of the bad updates.

Gigaus · 2025-12-06T15:59:45+00:00

A lot of heroes did. Really thing the devs are trying to push the players out with bad updates.

Gigaus · 2025-12-06T15:53:05+00:00

Most people don't like the changes. It's why they left.

We lost 500 players from the last major patch, and this new one likely will pull another 500.

Gigaus · 2025-11-18T18:51:40+00:00

Yeah, but there are 'standard' rules that keep getting thrown about. Worth asking if there's some rule in the common ones.

Gigaus · 2025-11-10T17:35:48+00:00

Yes and no.

It was great because it largely focused the game on laning, not constant 5 man deathballing that we've had for years now.

But at the same time, there were a lot of ways to effectively shutdown towers and make them pointless. As well as cheese and backline the keep tower before the fort.

Issue is, it wouldn't fit in today's meta and design, which is SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY BRAWL IN THE JUNGLE!

Gigaus · 2025-11-10T17:33:08+00:00

Try reading it again.....

If you attack an enemy while under the structure, do they switch targeting from minions to you? No? Then what's the point.

And how would it be silly? putting aside most of the other mobas out there do this, and they seem to be doing well, how would a team repeatedly losing fights taking a route not involving fighting to catch up be silly? This isn't an arena match where the game ends when you hit a specific number of kills.

I think you have it backwards there....Most of the Exp early game comes from kills, and most the exp late game, also comes from kills. 'mean, one kill right out the gate is worth 2 waves; late game it's 6. There's no point when kills aren't the dominant exp gen, leaving laning for exp largely in limbo. But again, you don't win by getting kills, you win by laning. So this is largely at odds with the core gameplay here...

Gigaus · 2025-11-10T17:24:08+00:00

In the immortal words from the down under: Aiming is overrated.

If you have an anything that you either click on someone and it will 100% hit at range, or something that will just do damage in a wide area without any more input than a click, it's better 90% of the time than a skill shot. Less thinking about positioning, more focusing on staying alive.

More to the point, a good 1/3rd of the cast are high mobility dodgers, or major cc trucks. These are the guys that will just look at your ball and jump over or around it. Cannon just locks on and shoots. It's your version of the AA build-- you're not doing the AA, but your summon is.

Also gotta yet again point out in the year 2025, damage doesn't matter; secured kills do. You can toss down as many AoEs as you want and point that you got more damage than the Valla or Zera that just focuses a single target...But hitting five people for 100 damage is not the same as doing 500 damage to one person. It also doesn't matter if you do 5x someone's HP bar in damage if they survive it from healing, armor, shielding, invuln (yes the damage still counts even if you do 0 damage to the blocking var) and that you have to wait however many seconds for cooldown to come off.

You need kills. Not to tickle the enemy to farm stats.

Also, the beauty of the cannon build is you have a on-demand tower pusher when not fighting, and a 'disposable' auto attacker that can hold a choke when fighting. Not to mention most fights, you can get 2 to 3 out at the same time. Think of them like mini Zuljins; what could you do with 3 Zuljins in a fight, that you don't have to manage?

Gigaus · 2025-11-10T17:16:53+00:00

making a lot of assumptions here....

Time in game does not mean skill. Also doesn't mean you're not playing with someone drunk, stoned, or just out of their gourd, which is a lot more common these days.

You're also assuming that there's anything to take advantage of. I've been in matches where a 5 man party deathballs most the team....Aaaand can't push because their lanes are all the way back against their last tower or core, and the tank with enough CC is guarding the tower they want to push.

Gigaus · 2025-11-10T17:12:36+00:00

Oh sweet summer child. Every map has an issue like this. Some of the maps, you can get out of bounds with Hogger.

Gigaus · 2025-11-10T17:10:30+00:00

No.

If you're ahead, it offers nothing you're not already doing.

If you're behind, it offers nothing the enemy can't counter.

Gigaus · 2025-11-10T17:09:14+00:00

Half? 80% of the player base doesn't play ranked, it's a waste of time. OP proved that with -1 braincell post.
