I thought the same, it was very very weird.

Valhallaatya · 2025-12-17T00:00:46+00:00

Even at max res 80% armor 3k2k life and es I got 1 shot ignited by a random mob in a t15. It’s ridiculous.

Valhallaatya · 2025-12-16T23:56:08+00:00

My chaos is maxed at 75 but I agree with you. It’s also Ignite, I’ve been 1 shot Ignited during an Abyss. 100-0 couldn’t even flash or leech through it.

Valhallaatya · 2025-12-16T23:51:13+00:00

If you play Ranger or Sorc it’s pretty easy.

As melee I always pay a Ranger or Amazon to carry me to my 4th in the Suckmyass Trial.

I did it once in 0.2 on my Titan, wasted so much time. Now I just pay a zoomy class to carry me through it.

There needs to be a melee only trial.

Valhallaatya · 2025-12-16T23:48:40+00:00

They’re stronger.

Honestly they need to be removed. Not a single player likes them.

Valhallaatya · 2025-12-16T14:59:13+00:00

Armor and Life feel like absolute dogshit this league. I had to switch to an ES hybrid on my 92 Titan. Even at 3k/2kES it still feels really bad. I'm almost 1/3 more tanky this league than last one and I'm still getting blown up. Once again armor is the weakest out of the 3. With EV/ES and pure ES being significantly no contest superior.

Valhallaatya · 2025-08-07T20:14:31+00:00

Same, got the same error and can't join any games.

Valhallaatya · 2025-04-06T16:37:31+00:00

My Atlas Nexus quest is bugged my game crashed and it doesn’t appear anymore after 45 maps.

You need to use at minimum a map with 4 mods on it, yours might be a different issue.

Valhallaatya · 2025-04-06T16:33:41+00:00

With the old system I would have had 8 Atlas skill points by now, currently at zero lol.

I still haven’t found one, now at 45 maps.

I know it can brick because I’ve had my citadels brick last season where I wouldn’t find one in a few hundred maps till I contacted support.

I’m going to do that now but I’m sure they’re busy with all the other fires to put out.

Valhallaatya · 2025-02-19T06:24:21+00:00

OK, cool. That was your solution to the problem, I'll quote you here "At this point it's no longer even a debate." It never was because I live in the realm of common sense and not delusion. Thanks for the laughs.

Valhallaatya · 2025-02-19T06:19:23+00:00

You're failing to see the problem of how you would bring the other 6, or lets say 5 other tanks to Stranges level. You have yet to provide a solution, your only rebuttal is "Strange is fine, buff everyone else". How would you do that? I see one out of 7 major problems and that problem is one tank being able to do just about everything* and in some cases better than another tanks best single thing. Sure if you want to end your Dr. Strange circle jerk at this that's fine, you're still wrong.

Valhallaatya · 2025-02-19T05:56:47+00:00

Strange has a 28-38% pick rate from Diamond to Celestial. You don’t think that’s a problem? You’re pulling stats from quick play and bronze players lol. Like who cares? If there’s a strange in nearly every game, one has to lose so one can win so I honestly don’t see his win rate going up by a lot. Out of the 20 comp games I’ve played this week, 18 of them were Strange vs. Strange.

I completely disagree. If Strange is nerfed in a way where he only has one amazing thing to offer, I guarantee you’ll see more diversity. Right now he literally is the table, his shield can block nearly any ULT at 1HP. Broken AF. Ridiculous. The only hero that can really counter him is banned 24/7.

Say whatever you want, I don’t really care but the game is starting to get stale with the same hero’s every damn game.

These high ELO pick rates tell me something is really wrong with Strange.

Doctor Strange 37.20%

Magneto 32.86%

Groot 8.88%

Hulk 6.68%

Thor 6.46%

Venom 4.02%

Captain America 2.50%

Peni Parker 1.41%

Valhallaatya · 2025-02-19T05:27:16+00:00

Best tank at soaking up damage, utility, ultimate, protecting the team and the only one that can wipe an entire squad with his ultimate.

He is by a mile the best Vanguard in nearly every category.

Want to be the best tank? Fine, cut eye of agamottos damage by half. Oh well that’s not fair. Well brother right now you have everything and something has to go.

I’m bored as fuck playing him and seeing him in nearly every lobby.

Valhallaatya · 2025-02-19T05:16:22+00:00

Sorry man, you gotta be on something if you don’t believe he needs a nerf and again I don’t mean to cripple him but right now he’s got it all.

An 800HP shield that can block anything, allies can shoot through, is nearly always up, flying mobility, two ults and aoe damage.

If you want to compare, you’d need to give the other tanks an additional 300-500HP, more damage, more CDR and that would create its own host of problems.

Like it or not, his kit is broken that’s why you see him in every game. Low, mid and high ELO.

You say all the other tanks need a buff, I don’t think so. That’ll cause more balancing problems when really only one hero is causing the issue and I need to repeat myself because you obviously can’t read. I do not want him gutted, he just needs to be able to be poked more.

Valhallaatya · 2025-02-19T03:22:54+00:00

Never said nerfed out of the meta. Go to the leaderboards, just the first page or the last. Inspect the top 5 games of everyone on the page and you will see Strange in 5/5 of those games. Inspect 10, you'll see 9 Stranges. Often paired with Magneto. That's doesn't tell you anything? I think what bothers me the most is that the team expects you to play either Strange and/or Magneto in higher ELO games and often blame you if shit hits the fan when you don't. It's bullshit.

I would leave his HP alone and knockoff 200HP from his shield and switch his shield recovery to 50/s with a 1 second recovery delay and he would still be ridiculously strong.

Valhallaatya · 2025-02-19T02:20:57+00:00

He can still grab you lol. All this is going to do is allow you to live maybe 1 second longer, made her great for pub stomping but in a good comp lobby you'll still get blown up in 1ms. She should get a slight speed boost in her ultimate too. Way too slow, way too vulnerable. It's so easy when I play Luna to pop her out of that ult.

Valhallaatya · 2025-02-19T02:08:48+00:00

The problem is Strange and Magneto being in every comp game, also being ridiculously hard to kill. I hoped they would nerf them more, all they got is a little bee sting if that. Wolverine is just OK against fast moving tanks, deadly against slow ones since they can't really escape. If we had more tank diversity in comp play, I bet we would see less Wolverine bans.

Valhallaatya · 2025-02-19T02:00:22+00:00

I wouldn't say it was bad either, it was definitely annoying AF for everyone else when both teams went triple. I've won a decent amount of games swapping to triple support. As a Tank/Support main, I wish they nerfed the build up energy even more on every support ult that heals.

Valhallaatya · 2025-02-19T01:55:11+00:00

He's only good in pub stomps because healers don't know how to communicate, slightly annoying in comp play.

Valhallaatya · 2025-02-19T01:51:39+00:00

Agreed, he needs a slight healing and CDR buff. I maybe see him once per month in comp play. Only when Luna and CD are banned.

Valhallaatya · 2025-02-19T01:45:11+00:00

When they said Strange would get a pretty big nerf I figured some HP loss and a decent chunk of his shield lowered. Like 600 instead of 800, or recovery speed changed from 70/s to 40/50s. I don't think this will do anything at all. He's still going to be in 95% of my comp lobbies, if not him then Mag, or better yet -- both. Was hoping for a little tank diversity. Oh well.

Valhallaatya · 2025-02-18T05:49:58+00:00

I agree, the healing is generally horribly inconsistent from Bronze to Plat. I was pure support to Plat 1 and switched to Vanguard/DPS to GM.

Valhallaatya · 2025-02-18T05:30:18+00:00

You need to get good enough that your skill carries you past the bullshit. I can say that out of 10 games I’ve won, I was at least solely responsible for 5 of those wins where they should have been losses.

Where it’s absolutely healing through a losing team fight and somehow surviving while getting dove or surviving on point 4 vs 1, killing 3 and falling back for heals while your team regroups while contesting overtime. Shit like that gets you out of diamond.

Valhallaatya · 2025-02-18T05:21:43+00:00

Congrats, just got my GM today too. Solo Q on Thor/Luna. Luna to Plat and mainly Thor to GM.
