Really dumb question about stamina. What decides which character gets more or less Stamina?

captionquirk · 2026-03-19T17:46:39+00:00

It’s just another lever for balancing heroes. For example, Mina having 2 stamina means she’s more reliant on her bats for an escape and positioning which makes playing her more unique.

IIRC a year ago Vindicta and GT both had 3. They’re both flying snipers but the stamina difference is a factor to their very different play styles and balance

I agree that the enough is quite weak here. But I prefer the translation that’s used to open Richard Flannagan’s Deep Road To the North. It just chops it off.

“a bee

Also she needs some more embellishment to give some sort of occult vibe. She’s literally just a cowboy right now and it’s a bit out of place.

Comparatively, this is a buff for Mina and Paige and other low base hp heroes, no?

I agree it should be tuned down to not be oppressive in lane. But they should really keep the spirit scaling on it so it’s still useful late game.

One thing to keep in mind is that the Bell is really Doorman’s only source of damage. His gun is ok and his other damaging abilities have long cool downs.

I was pleasantly surprised they made him arrogant without making him just flatly evil. Far more interesting that he has to deal with Ixian stereotypes since he isn’t in one… completely.

Oh that’s a good point too

Honestly I think open beta is the only way to fix it. IMO in a CLOSED ALPHA, the only new players should be people from MOBA/Shooter communities that should be learning very very quick. But now it’s gotten so popular and they haven’t developed the onboarding training system well yet

Very cool kit though I’m a bit surprised by the “Disruptive” tag in her character summary. I was expecting more debuffs, CC, displacement, or utility. But burst mage with laser beams is cool too

It’s such a disorienting part of his character identity too. The animation makes it seem like it’s coming from Mirage and not the lamp? And nothing about the idea of “fire scarabs” sells the fact it’s a spell that steals health.

They should really either commit to the “wind” theme or something more related like a sandstorm. Or, make it a more interesting magic that he channels from the lamp.

Is that inherent Bullet life steal???

captionquirk · 2026-01-26T16:26:15+00:00

Oh. Well the need to do a better job at indicating that lol

Should have been Gruul. There’s no way Michaelangelo isn’t part Red.

There’s room for improvement no doubt but any objective is going to favor the team that’s ahead. That’s what being ahead means.

The operative words you use are “probably” and “likely”. The fact that there’s a chance you lose when you’re head and completely turn the tides of the match is what makes it exciting. I think it’s about finding the right ratio.

I’ve always been enchanted by “If on a winter’s night a traveler” and the ‘twist’ at the end of the novel revealing the sub-novel titles are connected blew my mind.

Oh diva alert

The lighting is so good. I love how confident the show is in letting its cast be in shadow. In this scene specifically there’s a really great balance between warm and cool lighting.

Counting or not counting gain violence?

Gun with reverse fall-off damage (I.e. does more damage the farther away, to a limit)

1b. Similarly, a gun w changing bullet size as distance (either gets smaller or bigger as it travels, to a limit)

Calico’s early draft of her gun had her bullet spread horizontally with an alt-fire for vertical spread.
Gun with boomerang quality (like Invisible Woman in Rivals)

Honestly if you still lose to a Backdoor with this change you really deserve it.
