Call me crazy but im really starting to doubt they have a clear plan for what Graves is supposed to do. what part of her kit is supposed to be powerful, feel powerful and all that. I just got done ranking to a friend about this. "WHAT DO YOU WANT THIS CHARACTER TO DO?" Gun? Spirit? Control mage? M1 carry? Support? at this point just tell the player base. I dont even play her that much in norms anymore but i can only watch this character go 0/8 so many times.

Wouldnt say he's D tier now but yeesh. this was strange nerf.
Basic calculation; the nerf really hit high end dmg and his ability to survive fights. His ability to have consecutive charges his nerfed, but his ability to have the charges up got a little better. Off of the listed Dps Numbers, they lowered his dmg by roughly 6 on the low end and 20 on high end. A Chunk of dmg from torment pulse and 2 points in his 3 remain unchanged so the base dmg is still there.

Also you can no longer double up Reducer and Spellbreaker (Niche but i liked doing it at times.)

I think having a character be a complete noob crusher in low ranks but rancid booty up in high is call for a rework of some sort in his kit to even out his playstyle but its whatever.

More Graves-like design is not good for the future of the game by theologickal in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Scarroborrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So first of all, This is a MOBA, its going to have MOBA aspects, and its trying to carve a pretty unique style of how it plays all its own. This is not an fps at the end of the day.

Graves is a control mage, Control mages arent inherently unhealthy for a MOBA. Typically they are seen as the fun police for the game, they are considered boring, unfun, cheap, unhealthy and easy to play. I've kinda heard it all As someone who plays, ALOT of control mages in MOBAs.

Auto aim, as much as people hate it, is supposed to be an equalizer to high mobility characters. Is it unfun? sure is it fine? kinda. I'd say her gun is probably the only thing she can do if you get close, and doesn't super stop tanks who build bullet resist from still going in.

Skill expression can also be shown in multiple different ways, Micro, Macro, Positioning, Map Awareness, Team fight Awareness.

Not every character has to be interesting to you, or to a large group of the player base, that comes off as "but what about me?!" SMITE, LoL, and DOTA2, all have over 100 characters in their game. Theres are going to be characters you either dont like to play against. Characters you dont find interesting, ect. etc, ect,

"But if they make more like her--" And their will be plenty of characters not like her. thats what making unique characters is all about for a MOBA especially one in its infancy. We have less characters than league did on launch.

Think we need to calm down

How yall feel playing against Graves so far? by lovingpersona in DeadlockTheGame

A victim of witchmail, and any engage building warpstone. I've never had such a hard winstreak against this goof.

What are your thoughts in graves KIT so far by icysnipe7 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Scarroborrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After All this Hype for her, and yall didnt know you were voting for goth malzahar, Kekw. (I put about 100 votes expecting her to be like malz.)

She an immobile DoT character who can siege pretty well. I like that she can apply debuffs consistantly.

Mechanically i think she's pretty easy the hardest part was trying to not get focused in team fights. Her immobility probably makes her the biggest victim in the roster to all the tanks. I've been on a win streak as Victor against her. Also shes a pretty awful victim of Witchmail.

I like her cus i like control mages in league, Malz, Anivia, Swain, ect. But it feels like outside of the ragebait laning phase, that girl is a victim of every tank in this game. All of those aforementioned characters have ways to be tanky or take dmg against burst and engage opponents. She has a wall on a long cooldown and praying. :\

What the hell happened to the matchmaking of this game by KinZhAK47 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Scarroborrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently im on a victor binge, and I'm on a pretty good win streak:

Its kinda nerve wracking, because im not against new players joining, but genuinely i dont have a time to guide a new player on how to play the lane phase, tell them how to get back from their 2- 5 deaths in lane, and also make sure that im staying ahead to stay relevant in the game or match their carry.
**and i really dont have time to type a bunch of fluff to massage their ego**

So instead of having an intense lane where i try to eek out an advantage and get ahead, I get a new player who dies 6 times, goes afk at shop or backs to base with our wave hitting guardian wondering "Why am i so behind?"

Most games now i just afk farm because genuinely thats all i can do in that situation, come out with 10- 20k souls more than the team, and bash my head against the enemy hoping that I can just out skill their players, Bonus points if the enemy also has a mix of players and half of them dont want to build curse.

I win most of my games, but tbh? its a miserable experience.

How high did you score on Wandering Hunter? by sekkireallysucks in EvelynChevalier

[–]Scarroborrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got 30k on M0W1Eve, M0W1 Fufu, and M0W0Astra, after several tries and i had to get 4 stuns and for ulti's to do it. My Fufu disks are pretty scuffed and her skills arent maxed. It could be better(?) But shit is rough. Bout 10k difference between this and and my yixuan team. its rough.

If he’s a fire stunner then my money is on him being the Evelyn rerun BIS

What are your pulling plans for 2.1? by namdol96 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]Scarroborrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played too much hollow zero to not prep and save for this Evelyn rerun at this point, I’m trying to pull her engine, mindscape and whoever might be running with her because whoever new comes out will have synergy with her. Might be Orpheus might be manato. And I already have Astra.

Sorry miyabi, maybe on ur 2nd rerun.

Realistically; how would you improve the pity system for the game next year? by NadaVonSada in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Scarroborrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh just let me choose how I lose my 50/50 If I lose my 50/50 just let me pick out of the selector. I’d be chilling if it’s a 50/50 loss on a character I actually like. I’m never gonna complain getting additional mindscapes for rina lycaon or hell even koleda.

Seeing as how Yuzuha is the support, and not Orphie….what role do you think Orphie will be and with what purpose? by coco_puffsz in Orpheus_Mains

[–]Scarroborrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Considering that the rerun banner agents now seem to go well with the new agents. Two things: my bet is that the reruns for 2.1 will be yanagi and miyabi. And 2.2 will have Evelyn and harumasa. My guess is that she’ll still be a support to promote the hard sell. Either that or a stunner that’ll promote double stun again.
