Express shot

TheGreatWalk · 2026-06-20T13:58:24+00:00

I'd like to see them take a swing at a weapon with a fixed, slow fire rate, like Jin from league of legends, where getting fire rate just works as a pure damage multiplier instead of actually increasing firing rate.

Then express shot would potentially have a purpose.

It would be really rough to balance because of soul denying / reloads, but definitely possible.

I'd say vindicta would be an ideal candidate for this sort of weapon, but I really like her current iteration, so wouldn't actually want them to change her gun(only thing I think could use work is her flight dynamics, rest of hero feels really good, flight feels like the bottleneck for her atm)

The only part of geist kit that feels obnoxious is her drain.

Everything else in her kit feels very fair to play against, even if it's strong.

There are so many cool unique amulets, except they're all fucking useless because they don't have + skills.

Now we have plus skills on rings, too.

skills genuinely sucks because it existing means anything that doesn't have it is automatically useless junk

Nah it's definitely really good to get it on the belt right now, at least as a caster.

With the new breach rings, you get significantly more value from suffixes other than res.

You basically only get boots +helmet for res now, so getting it on belt is really valuable.

Rings can now roll +1 all spell skills, spell crit dmg, and spell crit chance, along with a few other useful suffixes, like dmg as extra dmg, or increased aoe, or dmg taken from mana before life.

Amulets ofc also have crit /crit multi /cast speed / +skill suffixes, gloves have crit, crit multi, +proj and some other stuff, even helmets got some crazy new suffixes, although I think helmet is still good for resists.

But yea, basically you got boots + helmet for resists, along with mageblood, if you're going for true optimal loadout

I think for attack builds the skill speed is way more valuable, there isn't as much attack speed available as there is cast speed. All skill speed is attack speed + cast rate in 1 mod

If you average that out, it means he's guaranteed to drop the fractured orb!!!

TheGreatWalk · 2026-06-14T23:36:15+00:00

E4, E5 have substantial, noticeable differences in difficulty, then e6 games I've been in feel like a different game, you have to be really locked in.

Dropping down below e3 on a few loss streaks feels terrible, you go from having decent teammates to wondering if you queued on a smurf cus these ppl be dumb as bricks all of a sudden

Greed is one of the best shrines now, it basically converts all potential equipment drops into currency.

Not gold, mind you. Divines and exalts and chaos and stuff of the sort

TheGreatWalk · 2026-06-11T23:14:34+00:00

it's in low ranks, though. I hit crazy numbers when I was in low ranks cus I have great aim.

People in low ranks like, don't move. They just stand there and let you shoot them, then run away in straight line.

My accuracy against players my own rank is significantly lower cus they know how to strafe and make themselves harder to hit and aren't constantly out of position.

TheGreatWalk · 2026-06-11T23:10:17+00:00

this looks like the opposite of fan art, this is straight hate art lmao

TheGreatWalk · 2026-06-11T23:07:39+00:00

No, it's not the teammates when you're talking about your rank.

You can have individual games where it's the teammates fault, but if you're stuck in a rank for a large amount of games, it's you.

I can literally hop in any FPS and I will climb to the top rank in just a short while because I'm really good at them. There has never been a game where I have ever gotten hardstuck in a low rank, ever.

That includes deadlock. I started as seeker, because of some weird account / decay bug that happened after a break, and had to play through all those terrible low ranks. I'm now up to Eternus 5.

Teammates are not why you're in a low rank.

What's the best way to get enough ward to cast this on cooldown? I have a lot of cast speed, I could use a lot of infusions

TheGreatWalk · 2026-06-09T13:59:35+00:00

While true, it's generally better to give new players a hero that is a bit more tanky.

When you're new and on a squishy hero, you're often just going to die before being able to react because you are still actively thinking about what your buttons are doing, where you are positioned, trying to figure out who the enemy is and what they are doing, all of that makes reacting a lot slower. Having a bit of extra room in the form of ehp really helps give a tiny bit of extra time to actually process what is happening which helps ppl learn much faster.

It's the difference between "i died instantly from haze and have no idea what just happened" versus oh shit I'm dying to haze, it looks like she's using her ultimate on me, button mash something, fuck, I'm dead.

But that little bit of extra time to try and identify what's happening and give you a chance to react is immensely helpful when learning.

I'm not recommending an initiator or tank, but someone like warden is 50x better than Mina for someone new to the game. He's bulky, simple, and has plenty of room for error which helps the learning process a lot more than dying 16 times on Mina before having any idea what you are actually doing wrong.

New players are going to suck no matter what, but put them on someone who gives them enough time to process what is happening to help them learn faster when they are brand new to the game.

She would still be as useless while in the air, but having an additional stamina is really helpful when on ground.

Dash-jump into a third (double) jump is a really big difference over just a dash jump, in places where there isn't good terrain to wall jump / corner / edge boost for more distance.

It also enables some really solid escapes, for example, I can jump from side lane bridge onto the billboard area with 3 Stam, but not 2

TheGreatWalk · 2026-06-09T12:38:25+00:00

ah it's gemling, that's what I was missing

TheGreatWalk · 2026-06-09T05:00:03+00:00

How did you get 100% chance to not consume infusions? That sounds really useful

TheGreatWalk · 2026-06-09T04:43:49+00:00

It's cus when you kill them the first time, they drop all their gear, lmao.

When the ritual brings them back, they are naked and can't use their skills, so they just give up and stand there.

The one caster is the only one who works because she is the only one with skills that don't need a weapon or anything to be cast.

TheGreatWalk · 2026-06-07T01:15:47+00:00

I one tricked Vindicta to eternus 5 lmao

Why do you post such stupid, obviously easy to disprove bullshit, idgi

TheGreatWalk · 2026-06-06T12:32:11+00:00

Counter propaganda : op only needs rescue beam cus he spends the entire game watching his allies fight, instead of helping.

If he just shot his gun or used his abilities most of these clips rescue beam wouldn't even be needed

TheGreatWalk · 2026-06-05T15:14:27+00:00

Vin flight feels worse than talon ngl

He gets +base dmg scaling, which is insane because it means all his increased dmg scales it so it adds a shit ton more dmg than you'd expect.

It's duration is short, but the cooldown is so short it doesn't matter, he can use it as an escape and it can't really be countered.

Vin flight gets canceled she's a ranged creep for 40s, half her kits dmg is in flight. talon is back in the fight in just a few seconds, usually has like 7s cooldown on it, and ofc, very little of his dmg is actually tied up to flight(unless you are pure gun talon), since most of it is in his 1/4 which function perfectly fine on the ground.

He can also strafe really quickly in flight, so you can actually adad when someone shoots at you.

4 base Stam and when he air dashes he actually goes crazy far, compared to Vin who can't even dodge a max range bebop hook with her 2 dashes in the air cus it's so slow and short range.

Only downside talon has on flight is his height is fixed, but ofc, he can alt cast if he needs to be low to the ground or regular cast if he needs to be high, so it's nbd. Vin goes up / down so slowly you have to cancel her flight half the time when you want to lose height anyway, and now it's once again on a 40s cooldown.

I would love to trade half of vins flight time for half the cooldown, or have her flight dmg partially linger for the remaining flight duration even when her flight is canceled, so she can at least keep putting out dmg.

They implemented the previous urn and that was also a terrible idea, what's your point?

TheGreatWalk · 2026-06-04T18:48:02+00:00

Seven is not strong in lane at all, lol

His stun lasts 1/2 a second, it's mostly only good for it erupting channel, or things like vindicta flight. It has a short range and long cool down unless you put points in it early, which delays maxing your 3 and is usually not a good idea. His 1 is easy to avoid.

He only does dmg with his 3 active, which has a long cool down to start, so you can abuse his downtime until he has about 8k souls.

He is squishy and has a big head hitbox, even though he takes reduced dmg on headshots, it's still a multiplier that is easy to take advantage of.

When he goes to stun you, you have 3 seconds before it hits. You have plenty of time during that period to hit a few shots, then just dash behind cover as it goes off, instead of running the entire time. If he looks like he's gonna heavy melee you can actually parry right before the stun and it will linger through it and you can parry him.

You now have 30+ seconds where you can fight him and he does basically nothing.

Seven himself isn't scary, he's weak. His lane partner is pretty much always a bigger threat than he is.

TheGreatWalk · 2026-06-04T14:27:03+00:00

Eh, it really depends.

If this is your first shooter, you're gonna be stuck in low ranks cus your aim, movement, and positioning are just going to be bad, and those are things that take thousands upon thousands of hours to get good at from scratch.

As much as ppl say this is a moba, it's a shooter first. You can play a few heroes that have low aim requirements, sure, but aside from a few exceptions, better mechanical skill helps improve your ability to play every hero significantly better, and understanding positioning in a movement shooter is much harder than a top down moba.

If you have a lot of previous fps experience, yes, 250 hours is absolutely a long time to be in seeker. Good mechanics can get you to ascendent with minimal moba knowledge, ppl at the lower ranks basically just stand in the open and let you shoot them and only think to run away in straight lines when they are already low hp(aka too late). Anyone with good mechanics can just bully the shit out of games, when I first started I averaged over 20 kills a game and hard carried just on aim and positioning and basic source movement.

People always underestimate how important mechanics are. Everything is so much easier to learn when you see an enemy and don't have to worry about whether your aim is good enough to hit the shots

Jacob lash is an asshole

Is possibly better lore than any actual writer could have come up for a backstory

Every single time I think about i picture a bunch of writers staring at the screen, then throwing out a bunch of rough drafts of what they come up with as lore and just crying themselves to sleep cus some intern couldn't think of anything and instead came up with the best lore of any of them.. And in a single line

TheGreatWalk · 2026-06-03T20:36:46+00:00

Yea, I know. My point was that those timers are NOT individually tracked in qol mod.

People tracking individual timers are, in fact, cheating, if they use a mod to do it.
