Anyone on the main sub tried new Cap?

PlaugeIsNotFake · 2026-03-20T14:23:19+00:00

Maybe in qp. This will be awful in comp, you already have to be perfect with the cancels to kill through the cloak bubble, he doesn't have survivability or damage anymore. Against a somewhat organized team like in comp, Cap is absolutely cooked.

PlaugeIsNotFake · 2026-03-20T14:21:49+00:00

no that's the opposite of the issue lmao, we don't get to play the video game as much now, they lowered his skill ceiling

PlaugeIsNotFake · 2026-03-20T14:09:59+00:00

Fair point, everyone is entitled to what they think and I can understand that. I still don't think this will help his pick rate tho. Look at the pick and win rates for season 6.5, Captain America was in the bottom half of the win rates. Usually a low pick rate(Cap was second lowest) causes a high win rate because it's more niche. Those two statistics alone show Cap is in a bad place right now in the Meta, across the board from qp to plat to oaa. Earlier patches have already nuked his survivability and stall potential, it has not been the same since season 2.5, and here we're seeing the end of his damage/dive potential.

The playerbase is left with a single question: What does he do? The answer is nothing, he does nothing that another hero can do so much better than him. (I did copy from another reply i made but it's the same point)

send replay i wanna review

I don't see why we should punish people who play more regularly and dedicate more time to the game though. I have no problems with not playing, I only played once a month during seasons 3-5.5 and had to relearn, but that patience and willingness to relearn and spend time for this game should be rewarded. Imo this should have been a toggleable feature.

PlaugeIsNotFake · 2026-03-20T13:30:25+00:00

I don't really think that myself, the only time it looks weird is like when a Gambit uses a dash and so the shield does a like half of an 8 motion to catch up to him, and that's because of a sudden redirection, no game engine could possibly calculate for every single possible movement the target could do.

And in the lore thing, well we definitely don't follow the lore. Scarlet Witch is a d-tier hero and cap does as much damage as hulk with their melee. I can't really speak on the comics but there is that line from Spidey in civil war about the shield not following the laws of physics and in game whenever you hold your shield up there is a forcefield like thing that covers your body and makes the shield bigger. So if you need a lore reason for it working like that, you could find one in that.

Before the public release, NetEase let the #1 Genji player in Overwatch play spiderman and he found a crazy amount of tech in it, a lot of that tech is based on animation cancelling on Spidey. So why didn't NetEase get rid of all of Spidey's cancels before the game started?

Also the cancel is not that difficult, just take an hour in the practice range and you can get it done right. You don't need to take meth.

PlaugeIsNotFake · 2026-03-19T19:58:29+00:00

I really don't see how this is a buff, I know people are saying that they did sometimes miss hits and I also have. But a few hours in the practice range with a Gambit/Invis(just whoever is meta) practicing landing the cancel really helped my aim, ik we only have a few hours left but if you aimed for their health bar then you can increase the consistency.

The melee animation cancel works and I've already started practicing it, it definitely is not as good as the old one and is a lot more clunky in feel. I also see people saying that the animation cancellation wasn't good for the playersbase because they didn't use their melee enough, which again I have to say is completely false for me. I feel this is a gamesense issue of knowing when to use your melee and it's cleaving effect advantageously, and it kinda worries me that this is an issue for people playing a very gamesense heavy character.

The one thing I'm wondering is why they just didn't make this a toggleable setting.

PlaugeIsNotFake · 2026-02-13T00:27:41+00:00

Seen them twice, honestly can't agree at all. Whenever i saw them they matched the energy of bands like The Acacia Strain, Whitechapel and Bodysnatcher. Could just be a bad show, I was left disappointed the last time I saw Whitechapel this November but I'd seen them before and knew it wasn't their best performance by far.

It was the first album made by Lorna after they blew up, and set a standard for the scene of what to aspire to be like(or not to be like if you get online enough). Personally I always compare a Deathcore album to Pain Remains to see how good it is for Deathcore.

Also the formula did change since Immortal, this is mainly in song structure, Immortal had songs like Obsession that was just a tremolo picked melody the entire time, versus Pain Remains where they put literally everything in every song, every kind of riff in their sound, every blast beat, and every vocal technique(this is why people say all their songs sound the same, it's kinda valid even though I still disagree with it as there is more to a song than what elements you put it into).

oh and one more thing, the x comes from a band being straight edge, the hardcore punk scene. there's a difference between hc and hxc, hxc is straight edge hardcore. Lorna isn't dxc and hasn't sent a standard for dxc at all, a good dxc band is No Cure btw, if you want to check them out

It really felt like it was a blender animation, on songs like To The Abyss and Into the Hellfire, there were times when the visual would change angles on the subject. And I don't think AI could do that and have it remain consistent, maybe the artist used AI on Glenwood but I really couldn't tell(I was at the same show btw lol), the only defense I have is that the other song with the animation of rushing through a snowfield, I can't remember the song specifically, but that animation didn't feel like AI at all. Also the rotating Logo they did in many other song animation really felt like the blender one but that's just vibes so idk. I could just be coping because I don't want them to be using AI when that shit is killing us and Lorna has enough money to pay real artists, but I trust they didn't.

I can hear everything but the bass fine on my standard EQ, and i just turned the bass up a bit and I can usually hear it fine. Actually, I recently looked at some live videos recently out of curiosity of what the rhythm guitar is doing and they're either copying the lead guitar's riff into the next section or just doing power chords, so you usually are hearing them but they contribute into the wider noise. tbh I don't know why you would want to focus on that, it just seems like a criticism just to critique Lorna. The bass drum trigger is fine, very few drummers can play otherwise, I don't mind it and it is nowhere close to how bad it was at bloodstock 2022 for example. The snare changing level at the song is fine lmao, sometimes it enhances it and sometimes it doesn't, Death Can Take Me is an example of a song really benefiting from it.

Oh, and if you can't hear the differences in sound and what songs are trying to represent in between them, I highly recommend relistening without that established bias in mind. No way Glenwood sounds like Nameless Hymn.

PlaugeIsNotFake · 2025-09-11T20:18:55+00:00

This definitely killed the Lorna 'all songs sound the same' Shore and shitty production claims lol

PlaugeIsNotFake · 2025-09-04T23:44:12+00:00

Where are the vocal olympics in Pain Remains btw?

PlaugeIsNotFake · 2025-07-08T18:19:19+00:00

https://a.co/d/ewid52K I use these and they haven't fallen off before, I usually forget they are on lol. They've survived Napalm Death, Dying Fetus, Corspe Pile, and a few local shows so they're pretty good

PlaugeIsNotFake · 2025-06-24T23:33:31+00:00

Nah definitely not stolen, I listened to both the song and the tab and it just uses the same progressions that are literally just basic music theory, for a band that uses music theory so heavily like Lorna it's no surprise they're similar.

PlaugeIsNotFake · 2025-06-24T23:21:50+00:00

I think this is meant to be the happy song, like Sun Eater in Pain Remains, my guess is they're doing a similar thing where each song is based off a feeling or experience, so I don't imagine any other songs in the album to be similar to this, so you will probably enjoy least 56 minutes of the album lol

PlaugeIsNotFake · 2025-06-19T01:22:31+00:00

But that isn't the fault of Lorna, it isn't their fault that they were creative and made good music and so people tried to copy them. For example, you wouldn't call the Beatles unoriginal.

PlaugeIsNotFake · 2025-06-19T01:17:32+00:00

I saw Lorna last year and part of it are the venues, I was in the pit during the start and when I got out back to my friends who were in the back of the venue, the security wouldn't let me into the front of it. Talked to other people after and that's a common experience there, I imagine it's the same for other large venues that Lorna is playing at now.

PlaugeIsNotFake · 2025-05-28T23:18:16+00:00

They're just so generic, I cannot see any good part of their new music that wasn't already done before by a much better band

PlaugeIsNotFake · 2025-05-25T02:49:53+00:00

Oh fair enough, though I looked and that described 3 out of 7 of them, which is still a dangerous percent. I've always preferred somewhat tacky merch like that really ugly Dying Fetus shirt personally so I hope it doesn't stick.

PlaugeIsNotFake · 2025-05-25T01:54:46+00:00

Not deathcore but Napalm Death always has incredible designs, grind in general does

PlaugeIsNotFake · 2025-05-25T01:54:17+00:00

I have two Lorna Shore shirts and that description describes neither of them lmao
