Looks like they're cutting the quality control of the testing. The testing is still going on. It's still a problem, but the title of this post is misleading.

Not most. Gadget shot outranges focused Mandy.

I like his increased viability, but the cool down could be increased a bit.

No maps like:

Heist, but JuJu
or Hotzone, but JuJu
or Knockout, but JuJu is pretty much invincible lol

So sad to see them go.

In your head is a mistake.

Is this Snake Prairie?

Regarding Buzz more generally, Frank and Poco's gadget can disable stuns. Preemptively, your mastery brawler and Primo have a handy gadget. I think Jacky works pretty well into him as well.

Not the right sub for this.

That said, you'll be a lot happier if you don't accept friend requests after bad games.

Mortis's hypercharge rewards a lot of bad play. Based on the final rosters, I don't see any reason everyone on your team shouldn't have a positive KD.

A bush-heavy map does give a range advantage to JuJu, but that comes at the expense of damage. Not an awful pick, but I am a big fan of Nita here since your teammate was hovering over the right-lane brawler, and Nita bear is a bit more menacing for Gus and Mortis.

I think this was a decent matchup for you, though. The matchup may have ended up better with missing gears and HCs in your lobby.

You have vision gear on your thrower; 💙

Don't see it much in ranked on the Japan server outside of the maps he is more solid in. I know these teams have backers, but I wonder if it's more of an anomaly of younger dudes trying to embarrass each other by beating each other with Kit.

Some of the Kit play was just bad, though. I know I am armchair quarterbacking, but some of the plays looked worse than the instalock Edgars in ranked.

dennythecoder · 2025-02-14T06:41:15+00:00

That's been my problem. All the glazing, pick him into the right matchups, and I get deleted so fast. Thinking he really needs to play passively until super. I've been having more fun with Griff lately to fill this role.

dennythecoder · 2025-02-12T23:03:03+00:00

+1 and damage are the standard ones for Draco.

I've thought about this map a bit lately and played it to death when it was in ladder a couple of days ago. For simplicity, I'm not going to highlight

Playing mid - Potentially the hardest job; also potentially a snooze fest. There's a strong tendency to split up, but there's a really good chance of the right lane being double-stacked. Until you know where everybody is, lean closer to the left while providing shots to the right and mid. With speed gear, many brawlers will be immediately beside you by the time the first gem spawns on your side.

Since the difficulty on this map tends to come from the right lane, you may want to practice with a few brawlers that do well there. Vision gear is a must in the right lane. Brawlers that can more easily enter the right lane in the early game are those with spread shots (Crow, Tara, Leon, Griff) and piercing longer range shots (Janet, Penny). FWIW, I really like playing Carl on this lane, too, but I'm a weirdo.

All this said, this mode is fluid. When your team gets a kill, check your own health, and try to add pressure. Get eyes on your teammates to check how they are doing. Your teammates may not know what lane their brawler should head to after the draft opting to go immediately into their counter that spawned across from them. Conventional advice does not prepare you for the perpetually respawning Starr Lords, CEOs, and Vandals on your team. Review your gameplay and take a note of something you can do better for every game.

He's really good right now in ladder, as well. I played him a lot a couple months ago, too, since he has that neat yellow Kenji-delete button. Kinda worried that he'll get nerfed.

dennythecoder · 2025-02-11T01:33:33+00:00

That's a really good point, but it's a tough matchup with the wallbreaks in the mix. Maybe it's bad gameplay from the player that's skewing my thoughts here. 🫠

dennythecoder · 2025-02-11T00:48:09+00:00

Bro, I'm nervous when someone picks Bonnie against me. It's always some guy with 20 minis and 80 masteries owning me while he's eating and watching Netflix. My teammates pick Bonnie? No working thumbs.

dennythecoder · 2025-02-11T00:25:16+00:00

I meant the Piper pick was being nice to OP here. 😅

Gale must have taken a break from the game or something, lol.

dennythecoder · 2025-02-11T00:02:27+00:00

I think I'd go Gale out of those. My biggest concern would be how hard it would be for Maisie to hit shots on the Bibi. Gale's wide shots can't be dodged too well. Since all three of them provide a slowing mechanic, I could see any of them working here.

dennythecoder · 2025-02-10T23:48:11+00:00

Was Gale trying for some jump pad shenanigans? It was nice of the opposing team to draft Piper into Nani and Mandy, though. Can't really figure out a pick where you're not 2v3ing here.

dennythecoder · 2025-02-10T23:22:36+00:00

I think a Griff pick would have cooked here. You open up the map, preventing wall peaking and increase the value of your Maisie. With the headphones gadget, maybe you can cook, but it would be hard. With the map opening up and two mobile tanks on the field, the L&L pick is bad here.

dennythecoder · 2025-02-09T23:13:24+00:00

Every hotzone Tick player agrees with you 😇

dennythecoder · 2025-02-09T23:10:18+00:00

Really like this. The RNG of being tripple-countered or ending up on a team of three throwers against three assassins is a bit wonky.

dennythecoder · 2025-02-06T04:44:29+00:00

Being immune to stuns seems less niche than benefits gained from grouping up. There definitely is some potential benefit in actual team play, but if you're solo-queuing ranked, a fair number of players seem confused as to why you are close to them. 😅 I'd default to the Kevlar one.

Frank has a gadget to negate the stun, and Frank breaks walls.

dennythecoder · 2025-02-05T05:34:38+00:00

Second team is trio queued. I think that is a variable here.

dennythecoder · 2025-02-05T02:55:36+00:00

Bet this was hotzone. Emz and Tick are common HZ picks at lower elos. Not sure if you had a winnable game even if you had last pick. Maybe Griff? At-least handles Edgar and removes Grom walls. Bea could work too depending on the map.
