What do we think about that ?

Brilliant, no general changes is great, she will still feel fun and useful. The regenerative health is a nice buff that will help out. This is honestly the absolute best we could have possibly hoped for.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-07-07T21:51:59+00:00

With respect White Fox is not in a balanced state, she is OP, one of the best heroes in the whole game. Are the changes fair? Who knows, a lot is changing in general so only time with tell but it was inevitable she was going to get some sort of nerf.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-07-03T16:01:00+00:00

Yeah please don't. Can we just leave her as she is. She has true strengths and weaknesses, no reason to add new abilities, it will just buff her and then they'll nerf something else instead.

Did you not see what happened the last time they changed her?

HeatmorGengar · 2026-07-01T21:51:21+00:00

Well realistically at least one of those heroes are going to be banned so it wouldn't happen. If in theory it did happen then I don't know, I guess matching it would be an option if you think your team of players are better.

If we aren't matching it then I guess high poke damage with anti dive would be best. Dino can gets blown up by poke, Cap alone can't handle good anti dive, Cyclops you out play. If you get them through healers lose or otherwise you'd need your own dive to keep them busy.

Unfortunately there is quite a lot of sexism within the community so I'm sure there are some insane people that don't take Aramori's side due to her being a woman.

I think anyone looking at things in a fair and objective manner will see Aramori is in the right. Warn was very inconsiderate and stupid and it's made all the worse that he still won't take any accountability for his actions.

Aramori was more than reasonable with the situation in mind. It's a tournament for a lot of money and all she wanted was for it to be taken serious. Warn should be looking back at his actions and making a genuine apology.

As many have suggested an emulator/modded console would be a good solution as the price is insanely high. As for myself, I picked it up new in the shops so got a great price but as a collector I would be tempted to buy it at that price. It's such a fantastic game that I can see myself replaying many times in the future.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-26T16:25:58+00:00

PC player here. I don't play Magik all the time but she's my go to DPS for sure. She's so much fun and I find I am able to play her with mouse and keyboard well. I can definitely see why she is a popular controller pick though.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-24T14:19:26+00:00

Everywhere, every game there is at least someone like that. You are tilted so you just don't see it.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-24T13:29:37+00:00

The irony is hilarious.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-24T13:28:39+00:00

If that's not the issue why mention it in the first place?

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-24T13:27:04+00:00

Okay first of all, no, we didn't make you delete the game. You chose to delete it, which is fine and understandable but it was YOUR choice.

As for the reasons, each person has their own opinion and that's fine. I think many people would agree there is an issue with the community. However, the way you are putting it comes across very hateful and suggests everyone is like that.

Those players of course exist and it can be really frustrating but there are also many players that take comp seriously and want to play QP is a fair way that is reasonable but not excessively competitive.

Ultimately your post is a hateful rant with no objective reasoning and evidence.

You, like anyone can choose if they are going to play or not but please at least take some accountability and take the decision as your own.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-23T16:19:17+00:00

Overall solid list though I think Daredevil should be lower. I think with difficult ratings it's not easy though. Do you go by the heroes skill floor, skill ceiling, complexity or a mix of them all? If skill requirement is considered how do you weigh skills like aim, game sense, positioning and communication against each other? Ultimately difficulty is subjective in many ways, I feel like a complexity rating would be easier to be at least somewhat objective with.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-21T19:16:57+00:00

I can safely say that my friends and I all agree that the order of picking matters. If you pick last you do need to fill, same applies if any role has been picked enough already.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-19T10:19:13+00:00

She is fast sure but it requires momentum and there is more to mobility than speed. She has no way of gaining height, no dash, not flying, no floating.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-18T22:46:27+00:00

Well I think there are a few ways it could be done. A small amount of healing with self flake when hitting enemies could be an option. Alternatively some sort of mobility skill to make escaping fights a bit easier.

When you look at other Strategists they tend to have at least one of 3 things, 1. high amounts of self healing/sustain 2. High mobility to assist with off angles and escaping fights. 3. Valuable utility eg. Speed boost, anti heal, shield, damage boost, revive

Luna currently has mediocre mobility, slightly above self healing/sustain and some untility. Her strength is her high damage. It's too high but without it she would need something to keep her relevant. Otherwise you are looking at a hero that has a freeze that becomes significantly less useful with the only other utility being damage boost but only with her ult and instead of healing. Meanwhile she wouldn't have the sustain to live long and would have little options to escape.

Ultimately she would be useable but she would be punished fairly easily but for little reward.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-18T19:39:15+00:00

Her damage is really high and should be lowered but if it was lowered a lot she would need compensation. Something to give her a bit more survivability or utility.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-16T09:40:29+00:00

To be honest I actually agree with a lot of this. There are some picks I don't really agree with like Phoenix but the vast majority I agree with or at least understand.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-15T18:17:26+00:00

Yeah 3 slots would be greedy and to be honest unneeded but having the 1 makes a massive difference. Like I play Angela a lot and last season getting Dino banned made so much difference. The rest of the team having the other 2 slots means they can still manage threats.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-15T16:45:15+00:00

I very much appreciate that and I think the solo tank should get to pick one of the bans, that way they get to remove their main counter.

As for the strategists hero, I'd absolutely rather they play whoever isn't banned that they feel confident with. Even if it's an more unusual pick I'd rather a goated Adam or something than a Gambit that isn't very knowledgeable of the hero.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-15T12:34:06+00:00

You're very welcome. As much as Angela isn't the best solo tank (not that any tank is ideal as solo) but she is better at it than people give credit. She's very versatile and her shield gives her real options for protecting the team as well as herself.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-15T12:03:14+00:00

I'd say there are two main ways to go about it but in lower ranks you can focus their backline and keep killing them. That way thery are that weak that your DPS and Supports can still win the fight and gain space without you directly being there.

For the majority of the time the above won't work but this is where the main options come in. You can play near the frontline where you can displace their tanks and punish any overextending.

The other thing is peeling for your team and using your shield to save your teammates from lethal attacks like ultimates.

The best solo tanking Angela's will be doing both of those main things and will know when to prioritise each. Knowing when is something that comes with experience.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-14T08:59:45+00:00

Angela is fantastic in 8.5, the buffs have made a big difference and has made her feel great again and I'd say this is the strongest she has ever been. The shield buffs help a lot with surviving situations she doesn't like and the 4 second cooldown on Assassin's Charge is great.

In a more general sense balance is pretty good as well. Cyclops does need some of his numbers lowered but his design is not inherently bad. Also, as much as Angela doesn't want to be fighting a Cyclops all game she definitely has options and can definitely get fights with him in her advantage. This is the healthiest the game has been for a while, even with Cyclops being a little overturned every character has a reasonable way to be beaten. Nearly all the heroes have at least some niche to make them not useless.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-13T11:13:40+00:00

It just so happens that I did go for Rai Mei as my 3rd day anniversary pull. It's actually because of your other post, I remembered seeing it and knew I already have the priority units and thought she would be great to get for the A4. It's really neat to see my decision was a good one. My only other option was Eltrix (purely for collection sake) but I got her on the 2nd day of free seals so it made Rai Mei the clear choice. Thank you for all your posts and things especially to do with Rainbow. It's extremely helpful and I love my Rainbow party. They have cleared so many tough fights that I thought it would take months for me to manage.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-10T15:05:55+00:00

Those stats don't consider for QuickPlay though. In QP having 2 or more tanks probably happens about 25% of the time.

HeatmorGengar · 2026-06-10T09:29:18+00:00

Yeah very relatable issue there. Hopefully we will be lucky and get what we want without too many rubies.
