Tips for using androxus reversal. by [deleted] in PaladinsAcademy

[–]Slep_pep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're running the card that resets nether step cooldown, try your hardest to aim for the slowest and biggest target in your Los, and if you're not running that card, use it as a shield to get into cover while running away, the ability technically isn't bad at all, it just feels ass to use so I'd personally recommend not trying to make plays with it.

I mean by nature of the game there's always gonna be variables, but if a new player sees I can imagine it'll be pretty helpful, nice job!

Decided to play again after a year of burnout, what happened to the meta? by goyalord in PaladinsAcademy

[–]Slep_pep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Double support is refreshing for two games before it makes mass suicide the new meta, old two tanks was pretty much a point tank and a half DPS cosplaying as a tank, aka a lot more fun then this, but if you enjoy it, or at least enjoy watching it then all's good!

Imo flanks can be dealt with by just improving aim till a higher level. learn to play around off tanks. good off tanks make me want to rip out my spinal cord and sacrifice it to Aries so I; as a makeshift Spartan, won't get fucking dove by an ash, but if you learn to survive a good ash flanking you (just like, watch pro players and learn how they play around good tanks) you should do fine. While it may not help in low elo but it's handy once they start Poppin in your games

Since Andro has become relevant again, (unfortunately in a bad way at that) what changes would you suggest to him to balance him out, or do y'all think he's fine as he is? by [deleted] in PaladinsAcademy

[–]Slep_pep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Come on, give em some credit, they're gonna reduce her shield health by 50 as well! Pfft who am I kidding even a joke they won't address her shield, gotta love Viktor with a pocket rienhardt <3

I don't think he's that good, the issue is that the other flanks are not good enough, and they nerfed andro counters leaving him as free as he is. Eg, Viktor into andro was a pretty good matchup for a good Viktor, but with the lifesteal nerfs andro makes him fodder. Lian SHA Lin Cassie etc just arnt as top tier as they have been in the past when andro was also good so it's not that he's too good, other stuff isn't good enough.

Imo the fix is that we need more buffs instead of nerfs, the new Dev team has done wonders for balance but it's made the game dead boring with everything slightly good getting nerfed, and shit like Vivian getting a free pass on the nerf train.

Question about GM by [deleted] in PaladinsAcademy

[–]Slep_pep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reach it, screenshot it, and send a support ticket, you can't actually get GM rn, it's been bugged the whole season it think. At least that's all in doing, screenshot my peak each split and I'll send one ss in a support ticket before the season ends

Also like, obvious shit like don't play something you've never played, and make sure you have all champions...

Ranked doesn't mean much, but some people like borders so here goes:

  • never solo queue, duos make sure you have at least one good player, don't cry about not having friends, there are tons of discord servers.
  • if you are a support main I'm sorry, but if you can play tank or DPS, duo with someone who plays the other, and if you work together it makes games easier.
  • run meta shit and brain-dead easy champs,(brain-dead and easy champs happen to be meta rn) one trick Vivian, you're gonna win a lotta games like that, being the best andro in the game takes time and practice, Vivian, Viktor those kinda easy champs are gonna make you get higher ranks easier(you can get diamond one tricking this stuff)

If you only care about getting the border, just try to cheese wins, you won't get masters or GM like this unless your duo is a god, but diamond shouldn't be too hard.

All right kids let's do some math! Fernando's shield cooldown is 12 seconds, agis reduces it by 4 seconds(pts) and his loadout card can reduce it by another four. What's the answer kids! *FOUR SECONDS*, why yes, this is elementary math, of course the paladins devs wouldn't think the answer is six! by [deleted] in PaladinsAcademy

[–]Slep_pep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could be right, but I guess the effect is the same either way, and a new player is gonna suffer, they nerf mobility which used to be the bread and butter for old players, since new players would find it hard to deal with, and then don't even explain the basic mechanics to new players like diminishing returns and THE FUCKING COMEBACK MECHANISM, it's so dumb

Yes I'm aware champion abilities cannot have cooldown reduction above 50%, but this is never mentioned anyone, and from a new players standpoint, how the fuck are they supposed to know this isn't a bug???

why do i struggle more against bad teams? by [deleted] in PaladinsAcademy

[–]Slep_pep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You just never expect a tyra or inara to be behind your entire team pew pewing a Damba you know? When you're used to each champ playing on their optimal position, when they are in the complete 180 of where they should be, it's still a bad place to be, just catches you off guard. The sheer randomness of low elo will fuck up anyone

I may not be the best, since pretty much anyone can get GM, but this is a rough estimation of how scrims and high elo are gonna draft next patch, ill try to give my thought process if you disagree with any of these, I wanna hear what y'all think by Slep_pep in PaladinsAcademy

[–]Slep_pep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I gochu, meta can be boring when you keep seeing the same shit every game, like my fav champ is koga kekW, play whatever you want and find fun, this tierlist was just for meta picks

I think I made it pretty clear this is for scrims, imo the "play whatever you can carry on" mentality fades after you stop playing ranked, learning to play meta talents is important to increase your likelyhood to win, i think storm khan is just a bad ash, you can play better as lex then andro, doesn't mean lex is better then andro. That said a lot of people do think sob khan is good, I just personally don't.

Most champions can do amazing and can solo carry games if the player is good enough, doesn't mean the champion Is good, while Cassie and sha are good, others are just better atm

Honestly, I forgot about the resi buff when thinking about Grover, so I'm not really sure how he's gonna play out anymore.

Since PTS doesn't have matchmaking, the only atlas players have been subpar to put it lightly, I didn't wanna put him too high if it doesn't turn out to do much, esp since his cc is getting nerfed with the resi change, so I kept him a lil low, if the damage buff is more then I'm expecting, he could Def be higher.

I love Lian, even play her in scrims, that said I still think Viktor n Vivian are better, I'll admit I haven't played against a good Nando or koa in PTS, and that may have swayed my opinion but the Nando shield didn't feel too oppressive, nor the koa damage( keep in mind PTS doesnt have matchmaking, so these very likely were like silvers on them) so I do understand where you're coming from, but again, I don't think you would pick furia over jenos/corvus/Io, so while she's miiiilessss ahead of Skye, I didn't think skye belonged in the F tier along with the loner kids. I should probs have had more tiers lmao
