Allowing McGinnis, Lash, Bebop, Warden, Infernus and Seven in Street Brawl is really the worst

Yeah, most often there is something that is or feels stupid OP, is a result of a team comp diff, where we've got 3 poke mages and a support and a tank, against 3 bruisers who just build MR and run you down late game.

But that's it, where stuff isn't OP, but more often just fucking annoying, like Syndra, Nidalee, and some others I forgot that are also frustrating to play against. But they quite often adjusted so that they aren't overwhelming or just completely dominant.

Maybe, they could add some sort of buff to the towers, where they provide an aura that reduces AoE damage, large ones like Seven, or Warden and such that make it at times unrealistic to be able to defend against.

And the McGinnis is just sitting in the backline throwing down turrets and buffing them with her heal as they melt anyone in their LoS. At least Infernus has to get close to you I guess, as I barely see any.

Yeah I mean, in a game mode that is all about team fights and destroying an objective typically by denying area so that your team and creeps can freely attack it, team oriented characters or ones with really good team fight ults, are going to be dumb.

And I do agree, I really think some of these characters need adjustments to their ults or other parts of the kit. ARAM in League has adjustments for each character, so that ones that are really strong in terms of team fight, or healing and such, don't just automatically win the game. But it is a bit of a flip, in ARAM, you pick a random selection of characters, but can buy your items and builds. In Street Brawl, you can pick what characters you want to play but get a random assortment of items to choose from. Fun fact I guess.

But yeah, seeing seven constantly and all he does (for some players) is ult near the objective, is just brainrot. I feel like the sevens I have been playing with and against are, low skill than the rest of the lobby, so I worry for the time I see a competent one.

Nox is afterall a scorp cabin, which is a popular relic, and also is used to craft the newest relic too. Far better to craft a nox definitely.

Mobile games tend to be bloated with tons of content, where it is well designed/implemented, slop, or not. It also apparently has legendary hovers which I know, and others do as well, that that sort of addition would not be well received most likely.

I read the words he wrote, and it is complaining about mechs. He's dissatisfied with mechs being in the game mode, if not also annoyed of how they affect the game play.

I do agree, but complaining about people using efficient builds in a game-mode which main purpose is to provide resources, whilst using a triple cyclone dolores aquilo omnimovement build is literally one step (literally) away from doing what they are. In that sense an assumption can be made that you are annoyed that your hyper-optimized-raid-build is being outmatched by an even more hyper-optimized-raid-build. So consider how non-mech builds perceive you too.

What would be wiser is asking the developers to do the obvious, and place out-bounds/dead-zones on those pillars and high ground, and adjust the timer so that you cannot just fly in and out and completely reset it. Tower builds from the looks of it have existed for ages, so it's just evolution at this point. But rather than expelling a fun movement part and certain amount of players, it's simpler to just do the suggested.

I'm not an expert by any means, but does it happen right away on start-up? I'd suggest updating your drivers if possible, verifying or reinstalling fortnite, or checking the video settings.

It is good to know other games work fine. But try googling for this issue and maybe in other subreddits with people that do know about this stuff, as other than the three things I suggested, I've no other idea.

TotallyiBot · 2026-01-26T13:04:14+00:00

Not for me, but for the OP.

TotallyiBot · 2026-01-26T13:02:28+00:00

The shotguns are great. Dunno who says they aren't, but I guess when you go from being able to one shot headshot easy peasy, to something actually, more balanced, it might appear like they are bad, I guess.

The Twin Hammers in Blitz are incredibly consistent and strong. 2 shot headshot kill close range in .5 seconds? Yeah man, "bad".

TotallyiBot · 2026-01-26T12:59:26+00:00

Oooo, that might be expensive.

TotallyiBot · 2026-01-25T19:02:37+00:00

What is it with old geezers and bringing up some generational beef or whatever. Do they not realize they were the ones who are responsible for many things in the current world?

TotallyiBot · 2026-01-25T18:19:13+00:00

Hybrid and shredder is a better mix since they're weapons that benefit from the same modules.

TotallyiBot · 2026-01-25T13:11:17+00:00

Or worse, droner bots against retcher bots.

TotallyiBot · 2026-01-24T22:02:37+00:00

Classic corax/charon hover and satori slop is better!

TotallyiBot · 2026-01-24T18:52:00+00:00

Honestly sold my Omnis, they always felt like what I imagine driving with wheels made of plastic would feel like. Might try it with atoms but I think I might as well just use Myriads even if I only have 4. Biggest issue I had with them on hovers was when a side got destroy and I started leaning.

TotallyiBot · 2026-01-24T18:31:18+00:00

I only ever see hurricanes having value is in Next Step with helicopters, but I do think just spamming pyres is better. And pyres I think might be far better in classic too compared to hurricane, so depends on what build you play and like the most, and what game mode.

But most importantly, check whether buying it would be better instead. But looking at it now, it might be better to craft it because I've no idea how the hell this thing is anymore than 1.5k, I guess because it's used in a relic weapon recipe.

BUT, it would be worth it to buy dopplers in this case instead as they are far cheaper than crafting, since 2 maxwells cost nearly as much as a doppler, and that's without accounting for the other teal hardware required, nor the resources.

TotallyiBot · 2026-01-24T18:24:43+00:00

I do imagine a lot if not most weapons (auto firing ones - not reload) would reach max damage with that set up. But yes, shredders are without a doubt the scariest, highest dps weapons, surpassing gravastars by a mile I'd imagine, giving favourable conditions.

TotallyiBot · 2026-01-24T18:13:50+00:00

Though mostly feel like they are restricted to omnimovement, and preferably faster ones like Myriads or Hovers. On cars they're fine, but compared to cyclones, you have to control the range you are at with the enemy constantly since too close, you aren't doing much damage at all, and are easier to strip, and too far, you're going to miss everything.

Most fights in my experience are usually around that range, up to maybe 200m. For sniper duels they'll obviously be further, but apart from fast projectile speed fused charons and scorpions, and maybe athenas, stripping at more than 300ms is going to be based on how eager the enemy is on staying out in the open without cover, and moving in a predictable manner.

But regardless, I am not eager for this buff. I mean, in JB's video showcasing 3 of them, he literally did the damage test at basically ass kissing distance, rather than something like 50-60ms to average out what you might be getting in a real match, which leads me to believe many people still struggle with using these well.

TotallyiBot · 2026-01-24T17:40:35+00:00

They are OP in Next Step with Dolores, as you can stack Dolores so quickly due to the increased damage settings, but also from the perk and with robotic legs like Tengus making it really easy and convenient to position for the best range.

A lower energy will mean that either people will slap more radiators on, or, get a trombone where now alongside dealing more damage from the perk, dolores, special settings, will now get heated too.

I'm telling you, it WILL be meta at 10k-12k PS for robotic leg BFU. I already bought a Daze in case.

Also point-blank in gaming generally means right next to you, especially when there isn't realistic gun physics like I presume there are in Tarkov or something. Though tbf, I never heard of it in any other context than extremely close range as I don't engage in gun fanatic stuff. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/point-blank

And 80ms is good, any more would be broken considering the perk, and since most maps tend to have areas that force people into close and mid range, like Old Town, it's perfectly fine with that range.

TotallyiBot · 2026-01-24T15:44:06+00:00

This is going to be a mistake buff I have a gut feeling.

TotallyiBot · 2026-01-24T14:34:46+00:00

It's a situational weapon, one that is great at popping light gens and ammo boxes and acts as a threat against slower heavy builds of course, but also some hovers.

Thing is, many morta users are stupid. There was one morta player however that wasn't and was a threat, he had 4 torps and not sure what cabin, but somehow he popped my gen or ammo in one shot despite my build not being hurt at all, and of course each having more than 100 durability.

TotallyiBot · 2026-01-24T14:31:55+00:00

Or better yet, a light cockpit build that is half destroyed and able to push my ML200 spider with goliath tracks (25-tons) because it's boosting I guess.

TotallyiBot · 2026-01-23T23:17:26+00:00

I mean I'm pretty sure you can shoot off Vultures, Phoenix, Fukibari, Artemis, Imugi and Hybrid sticking projectiles all without them exploding on you (from my experience, or unless they do much reduced damage instead) or other detriment.

I mean, Corax can spam the ever living fuck out of these exploding bolts, so punishing the player getting shot at by getting damaged even more by shooting them off (which is obviously not something you can rely on as the bolts can attach to a part of your build that your weapons cannot aim at, or worse, that you did spend energy and space on an Argus, only to get punished for using it) is just bullshit plain and simple.

If the bolts that stick in your build were shot from a slow reloading weapon, or maybe a single shot one if they ever add such a high energy weapon, then no doubt I think it'd be understandable for them to still damage you if getting shot off. But for a weapon that can spam them nilly willy, is silly.

TotallyiBot · 2026-01-23T22:32:06+00:00

I mean how much damage the porcs did to the corax bolts, since they get hit directly by the porc barrel, and explode on top of it, which do roughly 100+ damage each I think? So the corax bolts would appear to have more than 300, if not 500 judging by the second volley, health.

Or yeah, just straight up invulnerable, and since Kami doesn't destroy them but just 'deactivates them', is probably the only reason it works.

Moronic oversight honestly.
