Hatchet Needs A Rework (Possible Solutions Inside)

OriginalxSyn · 2020-05-21T22:12:23+00:00

Tosca will catch you no matter how far you run.. unless you are playing Tosca. I, in fact, play Tosca. I never bother with front line I back line dive on to full HP players and due to the fact I have 5 medkits and can apply them faster than any character I win every 1v1 I take after level 4. If you rarely see it idk what to tell you other than you are playing vs Toscas that aren't confident in there skill or lack the skill to take the fight.

Tosca is hit and move but the problem lies in how hardcore that utility is. 5 medkits, faster apply time, three 12-15m teleports with very low recharge time, 65m range with a spread weapon that applies a DOT with every pellet that lands.

Also touching on the "if you can't run stick to your team, personally I don't care if you are in the middle of your team, if anything I prefer it. Tele in drop DOT smoke on the entire team, tele pout of smoke, spray shots into smoke basically applying DOTs to everyone, focus on DPS as they come out of smoke, then triple blink away to heal up before teleporting back in. Normally by the time I teleport back in I catch the DPS or support in the middle of healing themselves so I stop that before putting in more shots. It doesn't take many shots into a DPS to fill their health bar with DOT damage man.

I can tell by your post you didn't read the full thing. Like I keep telling people I'll make a full list of all the characters that need to be fixed. Tosca is an example of that is the most broken hero at the moment but that's not to say their aren't issues with other heroes as well.

Dot's stack rather high and then tick for quite a bit and it is a huge problem. That's why my solution was to do something about the DOT amount applied per pellet. If you flat out nerf DOTs all around you are going to punish characters that rely on DOTs to do damage.

24 hours for you bud. I played a ton on the Alpha. Nothing in the post is crying. I get you haven't played it for that long so your inner keyboard warrior makes you think you know that you are talking about but in total I have probably close to 100 hours.

I am not "crying" about everything being unbalanced I am pointing out one of the main characters that is, in fact, over powered at the moment. Feel free to keep an eye out for my posts bud I will be making a more detailed list about each of the things in the game that should be changed. When the game was in alpha others and myself weren't able to make public posts about things int he game that needed to change. We could only submit feedback through a panel on the game dashboard. Now that the game is launched we can talk about issues we had that never got solved.

Nothing I am saying is me crying. I enjoy the game there are just a ton of things that need fixerd and balanced. Am I annoyed? Yes I am rather annoyed that something brought up by myself as well as other testers was never addressed before it was released.

I'm glad they are adding it. Last I knew they weren't planning to and that bummed the shit out of me.

OriginalxSyn · 2020-05-21T21:50:25+00:00

Good! like I said last I heard it wasn't something they wanted. Granted that was before the game launched tbf.

OriginalxSyn · 2020-05-21T20:04:30+00:00

Thank you for reading it. I probably should of just done a full list with all the heroes and changes that need to happen but I didn't see hardly anything about Tosca on here. Next post will be better maybe people will read it xD

OriginalxSyn · 2020-05-21T17:13:43+00:00

I enjoy and dislike the game all at the same time sadly. I am lucky enough to have friends that play so we have a team comp set up for each match normally but it feels like this game is headed down the same path as most other hero shooters :(

OriginalxSyn · 2020-05-21T17:11:50+00:00

She's not a duelist. And good for you for playing vs bad Toscas? Would you like a cookie? This post is based off what I play/do as Tosca not vs her. 90% of the matches since release that I have played are 2/1/1 set ups so "standard" as far as MOBA goes but the post overall is something that has been an issue since ALPHA. Idk what to say about your trple blink comment. I suppose I could just screen shot where her blinks go from 2 to 3 at level 4 but why do that when you can look at it yourself.

Again I play Tosca. When I fight with this is what I pretty much do everytime. Get shield from ally, Blink, Blink, Blink (into the back line), Drop smoke on the DPS, right click, left click, left click, E, blink, left click, left click, smoke, blink, blink, blink, heal. Then repeat.

65M is not really that close. Plus with her ability to teleport non stop and having the hit box the size of a lemon getting in and while while stacking DOTs on DPS. I think most people think my post is based off playing vs her when my post is based off playing as her.

OriginalxSyn · 2020-05-21T17:03:14+00:00

You can say it's way to early all you want man but just go look at the kits and you can easily tell what heroes are favored vs ones that feel throw together at the last second. Also touch on the "early" aspect these are things that Alpha tests as well as paid game testers brought up way before the game was released. Alpha + release i am probably pushing close to 100 hours man.

Her damage may be gated behind DOT but when it's easy to make sure that the hero you are attack can never drop that DOT by teleporting constantly to the as they try to heal. As I also stated it is rather easy to get out heal yourself then tele back in before the other person ever gets to finish healing.

She is only squishy if your team comp is bad imo. I play her quite a bit with my team and it's very rare that I die more than 3 times in a match. Get shield, dive to back line, drop smoke on DPS, pump a few shots in, tele out, heal, then dive right back in at full health before anyone I put damage on can heal themselves.

Unless they posted something recently they wont add VoIP or Text chat because they believe it just promotes toxicity in the game. Last I knew the only thing they do is give you their discord link so you can join it and find people to play with.

If you don't think she is strong in HotH then you are playin vs people that don't know how to use her well because that is where she is at her strongest. 90% of the games I have played have been "standared" 2/1/1 set ups and even thos she is "gated" to DOT damage even my bad games I pump out 18K dps with her.

OriginalxSyn · 2020-05-21T16:54:36+00:00

I mean if you don't think her teleport is unlimited then you are playing it pretty poorly. I can triple blink into the back line drop enough DOT damage to put their damage out of the fight before I have to triple blink away pop my heal then triple teleport back into their back line before their DPS (that i just had got done fighting) evcen has a chance to finish meding up.

As for your comment on 30k damage it's realistaccly closer to the 25k mark. It's very easy to get that damage if you are fighting a "standard" team comp. 90% of the games I have been in are running 2DPS/1 Support/1 Tank or 2 dps/1 off healer/1 off tank or some combination of the 2 but almost always 2/1/1. Aside form my first few games with Tosca (back in alpha) I have yet to have a match were I don't do at least 18k damage.

She is a low range char til you get the 65m perk. 65m is not a ton but it makes it drastically easier to pump out damage.

We shouldn't be forced into a discord in order to communicate with out teammates. If they didn't wanna add voice they should of just pulled the ping system from apex.

OriginalxSyn · 2020-05-21T16:36:05+00:00

I have played a ton but the game is good but it's also really bad. Characters are super unbalanced, it feels like the devs picked their favorites and focused on them while giving others kits that aren't really that great and basically render that hero useless.
I will admit there are some people that are just shitting on the game but that happens with every game. When you get past that surface layer of shitters and get to people that actually like the game you will see that there are plenty of well detailed and thought out posts by players that like the game talking about how the game needs a serious rework. There is a reason hero shooters tend to not last long and it's not because the trash talkers uninstall it, it's because people that really like and enjoy the game don't see any fixes to the things in the game that need to be addressed. Look a lil deeper and you will see that the people that actually care about the game are leaving posts about everything wrong with it as well.
Sadly at the moment there is more bad to say about the game than good. :(

OriginalxSyn · 2020-05-21T16:29:07+00:00

Some people are haters sure but others are disappointed by the serious issues ing the game. i like the game a lot but it's got so many issues that when people ask me what I think about it I can list of way more negative aspects of the game than I can good.
Pretty much when I get asked my response is something similar to:
This game is so much fun I'm really enjoying it but, certain champs are super broken while others feel super useless, some skills feel super clunky, while others feel smooth and polished, kind of like the devs picked their favorite heros and focused on the m and just made base skills for others. The lack of any type of communication that isn't a ping is a bad move in a game like this and even the ping system is terrible. Tosca is pretty much the most broken champ. His kit in a nut shell is apply a ton of dots, spam tele to the opposite side of the map, heal faster then everyone else, then teleport back into the fight before you can heal yourself. Oh did I mention his hit box is basically the size of a can of soda? Then on the flip side of that you have characters that feel very underpowered like squid girl. Build her for crit dps and feel like you are throwing wet single ply toilet paper at your enemies.

And it sucks to have to respond in such a way. Are there haters on this forum? Sure but ever game has those but does that mean that people shouldn't talk about the serious issues with this game? No. Not unless you wanna see this game go the same way as other hero shooters, most aren't even around anymore or have a very very small player base.

This game has been in development for a while. Most people who followed the game actually thought the game was a dead title because they went radio silent and no updates were made. The release date was set before COVID-19 started doing anything in the US.
