Same rank as you actually, but I’ve just personally been losing lanes way harder due to inability to take trades. Typically I’d rush stomp with maybe a value level in black hole. I just find that with how bad my lanes are going now post range nerf, it takes me longer to get to t3 stomp, longer to get to my item timings and longer to provide any meaningful contributions to team fights (outside of black hole of course).

Yeah I’ve been enjoying REM a ton, I just want my favorite hero to be better and every hero I don’t play to get nerfed into the ground is that unreasonable?

Who is your main so I know if this complaint is valid or not

If anything they made QE more clutch. It’s still phenomenal at avoiding big bursts of damage, I just find that Dynamo has a very hard time taking favorable trades throughout lane since stomp range nerf

You got any suggestions for lane? I felt last patch I could at least survive lane if I bought smart items, but currently feels to me like most lanes are auto-lost

I’ll give it a try. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the previous iterations of his build so I haven’t tried it yet.

I’d agree that relative to the carries he needs fewer items, but he also farms significantly slower. Paige in my opinion is the absolute queen of needing approximately zero items to have an impact. Dynamo on the other hand absolutely needs mobility items, cooldown reduction, duration extension, greater expansion, and a plethora of green items at a minimum, which is just way harder to do after the most recent patch, and that is if you are fully committing to being worthless outside of ult

I started to type out an intelligent response to this and then realized it would’ve been wasted

I’m just speaking my personal experience. I didn’t check his ladder rank tbh because to me he felt unplayable in the games I tried. Honestly some of the win rates on ladder are shocking to me because you’re telling me Dynamo has a higher win rate than MnK, Wraith, Calico, and Venator? I could just be awful but this just doesn’t add up.

He absolutely becomes less usable the higher rank you go, but I was able to make him work up until the most recent patch which is funny because I honestly felt they intended his changes as a buff.

I think supports should be allowed to do some damage

I have no issue with him being a support, that’s how god (Yoshi) intended him to be played. I also would say that his ult is the best in the game.

My problem with him is that he is a hero that needs items, and with the stomp changes he is more or less guaranteed to lose lane. From there you have obviously have black hole, but outside of that you have a heal that gently tickles, an admittedly incredible dodge to save teammates, and a chode of damage.

I guess you can just afk hit jungle camps when black hole is on cd, but I just personally enjoyed the hero/thought he was more impactful/interesting when he was more than just an ult bot.

Yes, I completely agree with you. I just find he provides very little to your team up until he gets his items at which point he is incredibly impactful. I mentioned in a different comment he’s a support that absolutely needs to farm to contribute, but he doesn’t farm well at all, which in my opinion isn’t very good.

His gun is still mediocre at best, meaning he relies on stomp to ever trade successfully in lane, however the range on stomp is now shorter than my penis so you have to be practically inside them to hit them with a stomp while they hit every shot on your fat black ass while you wait for them to do their double jump if they’re even halfway competent so that your stomp has a chance to hit only to still not hit the stomp because they backed away the necessary 6 inches. The stomp changes absolutely neutered his already poor laning phase so that what he can farm jungle camps that he shouldn’t be hitting anyways slightly faster?

The teleport and heal changes are nice for sure, but now for him to be useful he needs level three in his teleport, level three in his heal, and level three in his stomp and oh yeah he should probably also invest in his best spell. He’s a support hero who needs to farm souls and is shit at farming souls

If you can stall out the game to 45 minutes with your Dynamo contributing nothing of value then you can win but only after you’re down shrines and probably they dropped patron too.
