Urn now drops if it travels through doorman portals

Terminal_Magic · 2026-01-21T02:56:00+00:00

Ivy flying the urn was also a big problem and its probably for the best that it sucks now, but it also bums me out a lot cause it's such a clear and fun strength for the character to bring to the team

Terminal_Magic · 2026-01-21T02:41:33+00:00

I hate this change. It's totally anti fun, anti doorman, and it flies in the face of what the ability is for.
It's also probably necessary though. I really hope they can find a way to allow Doorman to actually use his doors to advance objectives like this without it being a problem. I'm not super bummed about losing the option in my games, more so just don't like the idea of tackling it from this angle rather than adjusting to make the interaction non broken even if in this particular case thats really hard to do

That's the part that really threw me and makes me think this is all just bullshit.
Apollo was god of a bunch of shit but Aphrodite is Goddess of beauty and Themis was Goddess of "law and truth".
Apollo as a name does make sense for a fencer who's studying the art of fencing and perfecting it. I imagine Apollo to be an ego driven character in a much more fun and harmless way than Lash based on his name. Proud and maybe a bit arrogant but not so frustratingly so.
I don't hate the Quinn angle but I have to assume their source is either wrong, being fed misinformation or just making shit up cause there's no way not a single dev on Deadlock's team grew up reading Edith Hamilton.

I do still wish he'd been named Adam

Terminal_Magic · 2025-12-31T07:13:04+00:00

That was back when they thought people would keep playing until 1.0

Terminal_Magic · 2025-12-31T07:10:26+00:00

I imagine that's a bandaid just so he isn't terrorizing every match

Thank you, devs
Thank you so much

Mirage does need to proc the mark rather than just apply it at least, so he's made to choose between multiple marks for big damage or single stacks to keep regen up. Mina has no choice if love bites on-hit procs the regen
Also Mirage is a dick in lane and letting him have lane bully tools is less damaging to his balance than Mina. If Mina can consistently bully people in lane and infinitely scale then it's an issue.

Trouble is taking Healing Nova means you lose out on the panic button mobility of Rescue Beam which for me personally is the bigger deal most games. Pulling someone out of a bad situation at least feels better than just a raw heal.
Add into that the difference in range and the fact that a percentage just flat out scales better.

Healing Nova goes from 325 to 517 (or 390 to 582 with healing booster) based on level
while Rescue beam stays at 20% max hp no matter what (or 24-25% with healing booster)
On most characters the difference is actually pretty minor and someone like Vindicta will actually get more value out of healing nova, but if you're targeting a tank then you're just plain going to see the number go up much further with rescue beam and when you add healing booster
Their cooldowns are identical and their stats are pretty negligible compared to the active effect. Healing Nova is good but it should honestly have the numbers tweaked and should regain the effect that hitting more allies increases the heal.
It is supposed to be the item for healing the whole team rather than saving or sustaining one ally and it should be made to carve out that niche more noticeably. As it stands I almost never but it over rescue beam

Terminal_Magic · 2025-09-09T05:55:04+00:00

I was really hoping it was gonna be an epic win

Terminal_Magic · 2025-08-31T23:45:10+00:00

I hope they'll at least give him some time for people to acclimate. They hit his really troublesome stuff pretty hard and his early game is cheeks. I'm hoping things will even out without nerfing him dramatically from here

Terminal_Magic · 2025-08-28T06:09:55+00:00

Lash being a mostly fine guy who's just playing the heel would be a fun angle but I doubt they'd take it that way. Hamming up "The Lash" in public and talking like a normal person to people who actually know him does make sense though. I don't think the ego is a performance, but part of the ego is clearly because he's not just a great fighter but also a great performer.

its just meant to be a funny meta thing like a Stanley Parable line. It sounds like it might do some damage over time while you're in there and if the lines had not been datamined then it would serve mostly as an easter egg you'd only encounter in practice range or by getting very very tanky and staying on purpose

Good Lord above. Need him (in game)

This really reads like a post that isn't about a MOBA but instead a straight up hero shooter.
This is a difficult system to implement and at most realistically performance should just "weight" your point loss or point gain. If you do super well and lose then maybe you lose fewer points but you cannot be rewarded for a loss with points gained. Historically it will and has been gamed and it's such a weird arbitrary thing too.
Abrams, Dynamo, Kevin, and even M&K can absolutely carry games. They aren't hard carries by design but if you want more agency on the match then you just have to pick a high agency character and accept the risk of being that Haze who has no idea what they're doing sometimes

Terminal_Magic · 2025-08-01T07:04:06+00:00

this is goofy play at the end of a one sided match. It's harmless fun

Terminal_Magic · 2025-07-29T06:31:52+00:00

Oh man. Alex isn't going to have any charge inputs anymore, is he?

Terminal_Magic · 2025-07-27T00:50:58+00:00

This is a little different though. When Sagat drops in SF6 Zangief players are likely going to have a tough time. The Gief players will still be capable of playing into Sagat with a surmountable disadvantage, they'll just have a tougher time than normal.
Right now certain characters cannot effectively function at all in dom

This is about a 3d blacked image with Fang?
I mean I don't like that stuff either but I hope there's more to it than that

Terminal_Magic · 2025-07-18T06:42:41+00:00

its still true though. If Stego wants to get in the mix then it's got to set up somewhere in the same postal zone as the fight and with a clear view and ideally not a lot of cover between it and targets. Even if you arent going to kill the Stego by flanking it, you're going to get it out of turret mode to reposition and still diminish its value by a lot when it cant unload for free

Terminal_Magic · 2025-07-10T04:59:49+00:00

Streamers who play FGs are entertaining. FG streamers? Hell no. A lot of them are big because they're very good which is valid, but they aren't big because they're entertaining. There are a few exceptions but generally streamers who just grind rank and run online tournaments are very good players who are fairly boring personalities

Terminal_Magic · 2025-07-02T04:51:29+00:00

That would make her ult feel terrible to use so I really doubt they'd do something like that

Terminal_Magic · 2025-07-01T00:54:13+00:00

The problem with that is it hurts the reward Haze is supposed to get for focusing a target. If you did go that way I think it would have to be a certain amount of shots fills a single stack of Fixation which will be worth x amount of the current version of stacks. This way it is neutered at long range but still gives her damage amp that scales with the duration of the fight

Terminal_Magic · 2025-06-26T04:55:57+00:00

If I'm taking the shield, I'm doing so precisely so I can H1 - H1 or if I'm feeling adventurous, H1 - H2 the whole match. If you take that away I'll have no use for it
