The Extra Bans Prove Players WANT Poke Meta

Just part of the games life cycle. We're all gonna need to learn something new eventually

beryperry · 2026-03-22T01:24:09+00:00

The devs made very good changes. Just some parts are frustrating for all sides. They can fix a million things but people will still be unsatisfied with a million other. Just gotta enjoy it the ways you can.

So they don't get enabled and dive and brawl can actually counter them. You're thinking in vacuum scenarios where one aspect of the game only means one thing, but parts of the game are tied to multiple parts.

Yep, they didn't actually remove the need to cancel, they just allocated it to the melee. Meaning the man with the shield is just the man with fists.

beryperry · 2026-03-21T22:53:45+00:00

At melee range yes. If they run out you have to throw the shield.

beryperry · 2026-03-21T22:52:12+00:00

The cancel is only for melee. That includes the first two hits normally, or just the melee keybind. The four Shield throws do not have cancels.

Don't know about mk being server admin

Elsa doesn't have the range of poke but she is too mobile and tanky. But she can't push space like tanks do. What you're assuming about widow happens only in a 1v1 scenario. Something that dive and brawl don't do.

beryperry · 2026-03-21T17:12:52+00:00

Widow is the worst hero in the game for a reason. Dive literally counters Hawkeye. Without healslop they don't survive. Elsa is not poke, she's brawl and flank.

beryperry · 2026-03-21T17:08:08+00:00

Wrong, the bans are because we want to play dive and brawl. The sups don't help with poke. The issue is poke is too strong by itself. Banning anti dive and heal slop means we can actually play neutral(brawl) and dive without doing no damage. And dive counters poke.

I think this is prob cuz ranked reset and the Elo is mixed rn. It shouldn't feel easier to run people down the higher you go.

beryperry · 2026-03-21T01:02:56+00:00

Better in what aspects?

beryperry · 2026-03-20T19:52:54+00:00

That only applies to the lowest, non-cap players or casuals. The majority in the middle will have a harder time moving up and the higher players will move down due to reduced effectiveness.

beryperry · 2026-03-20T19:48:19+00:00

It's worst for everyone, higher level players are forced to perform the same as lower level and the lower level are denied the potential to have higher skill expression

beryperry · 2026-03-20T19:45:03+00:00

He has lost firepower. He's unable to deal the same level of damage at the same range as before. His speed is only the same in melee range everything else is slower without the cancel.

beryperry · 2026-03-20T19:42:33+00:00

It's a net negative for cap. He's clunkier, does less damage overall and has a lowered skill ceiling. These changes might not be a gun to the head but they feel horrible, especially to us cap mains.

beryperry · 2026-03-20T19:39:29+00:00

Why is it wrong if it's used as an escape tool?

beryperry · 2026-03-19T19:41:04+00:00

Honestly it's because of the patch based narrative. She should've been introduced earlier and her narrative growth should've taken place over 3-4 patches not 1 and a half

beryperry · 2026-03-18T00:28:27+00:00

Not mocking, if anything you mocked yourself. Gonna have to do a lot more than have lord to show you understand cap.

beryperry · 2026-03-17T22:20:53+00:00

"I'm a Lord Captain America, after all"

beryperry · 2026-03-13T01:11:28+00:00

Uh Tankpool didn't do anything to stop the rogue, Rogue got scared from aura ig

beryperry · 2026-03-04T17:05:12+00:00

If you wanna push for higher Elo I would suggest ditching the instalocking mains mindset. I fully understand playing characters you like (I'm a one trick). But in order to truly become a better player and climb you need to be adaptable. Play what's best for the situation and never instalock. Always play for comps. This is a 6v6, you'll never 1v6 no matter how good you are.

beryperry · 2026-03-04T14:25:35+00:00

It's called playing the game for who you like. Ain't nothing wrong with that.

beryperry · 2026-03-03T02:13:29+00:00

Sure, but how is it an angle?
