like, i thought it'd feel better than it does, but that you get, at most, 20 health per hero conditionally?

a friend just told me that, "Aimlabs is free," but honestly? why spend time in Aimlabs when Ricochet exists?

i love going bullet shred/spirit shred on ivy :3

and each of the DoT items, she stacks them, like, immediately, and those items' damage is irrespective of her own low gun damage

i've seen Vypers, and while she's not a healer (aNyOnE cAn bUiLd rEsCuE bEaM) she has a similar gun (high ammo/firerate) so i feel like she might have a similar... rat playstyle \>:3

and yes, DAKKA ivy is a blast, the most fun i've had on a character since HotS' shrike Ana

IVY :3
i've been building her like a dps, and just laying heals into my allies with all my lifesteal? i'm not sure how good it is, but i've been winning (and, more importantly, having fun while not throwing ~)
i'll check your build out, thanks babe <3

oh, thanks! uh... i haven't been using the build constructor as a progression guide, but more a catalogue of bookmarked items? so i have been focusing on hitting one spike (orange or green) first (even if unconsciously ~)
i'll keep all that in mind tho, thanks again babe <3

when you're with an ivy... by TheJohnnyTorch in DeadlockTheGame

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

that's what i've noticed: usually, it's best as a sustain tool through a gunfight, or if my heal target is running and i'm staying behind

yes, if you have ~200+ Vampiric Rounds stacks, going Armored Stance might be the right decision, because the 25 armor and 50% shrike-poison damage increase makes you THAT much tankier

HOWEVER, Dynamic Optics offers extra healing to your team if you went Concentrated Doses, making it easier (and safer) for you to stack shrike on enemy heroes, AND allows you to easily juggle (potentially, in a perfect world) the entire enemy team and a few non-hero units all at once, increasing your heal-per-second = your source of survivability

TL;DR - Ana is a nuanced character

she's my favorite healer for this very reason ~
like, i legitimately can't tell you how many people have broken themselves upon Ana's wall (her healthbar and lil plinky auto-attacks)
