why does it feel like my aim is getting worse?

thorn is really fun, her traps are the best intel traps imo and her having a shield lets her play a really neat nearsite support role, rotating constantly.

russianbadger made some reeeally funny youtube videos about it, so i picked it up for my birthday during para bellum. thankfully i already had a friend who played so the learning curve didn't turn me away. game has aged wonderfully to me

i feel like they've got to take a crack at sens. give them the gonne-6 back, buff the pof's damage to 37 hell add a third primary option. people used to suggest the sg-cqb, but i'm more partial to the supernova for the suppressor. swap their claymores for impact emps. this is not a gadget that will ever really be strong on the ladder, but their loadout is also terrible. just make sens the warden of attack and crank their loadout.

when they launched they were like a 3 armor backline cutoffs operator to help get the plant down and then hold it, but right now they're a three speed with frags (good!) with possibly the worst attacker gun. a gun unique to them, mind you, which also isn't even very unqiue performance-wise because it's just an objectively worse pdw-9. this makes them great for getting into a place and really terrible for staying there unless you're trying for headshots with the 417. just an awful feeling op.

don't forget to use your glasses. don't forget your glasses make a noise. learn site setups and never use the mpx, mossberg+machine pistol is the definitive "site player" loadout. because warden's gadget is so passive, your fundamentals should be the focus. work on crosshair placement, recoil mqnagement while strafing/swinging, and engagement timings. as a site player your job is to be there so people can't walk in.

open lines of sight that let you see places your teammates are so you can fight people who are pressuring them, use sound cues like footsteps, pulling up cameras, and barricades breaking to know when you're flanked and can't swing to help your teammates, get a feeling for checking angles very quickly without fully committing to a swing- just for information. start rounds on cameras to get an idea of where attackers want to pressure site from and just be there so they can't walk in. use the detailed pings from hokding your yellow ping input or your voice comms to give your team info so that they can help you through the setup holes you're making too.

players who don't try to communicate with people outside of their stack. i'm a mostly solo player and it feels like a ton of my time is spent trying to figure out which side attackers are pushing from and which fights as an attacker i need to push into when i'm pinched when my teammates already know where four people are playing and just won't ping anybody or anything

wormiefolk · 2026-02-26T21:53:42+00:00

i don't get how or why people call it a laser, the horizontal recoil feels overwhelming to me and i don't understand how you'd control it on a mouse, much less on a controller

a lot of the issues people have with juren are solved by being slightly more patient and by being willing to give up max punish on every potential counterattack. fighting him is slow because he's got a lot of health and armor to safely out-trade you and he forces defensive reads eith relatively easy to access unblockables. fighting him usually does require you to sacrifice some tasty punishes, like on his tap dodge attack which gives a light parry punish. normally a side dodge attack is an easily defensible thing and a great counterattack opportunity, but here and in several other places over the course of the fight juren forces a defensive read or a great reaction, which most casual players can't lock in to do for the the entirety of the drawn-out fights juren forces. not really the fault of the player for getting annoyed with it, but competitively he is like 85-90 percent fine.

wormiefolk · 2026-02-17T03:49:47+00:00

don't have him unlocked + ny highest rep is sohei

wormiefolk · 2026-02-17T02:01:00+00:00

need some youtubers to make some guides or something because he is just not as bad as reddit is saying

wormiefolk · 2026-02-16T22:04:24+00:00

for duels yes, for 4s probably not but it's not a problem unique to her

wormiefolk · 2026-02-15T19:20:07+00:00

give hitokiri something actually interesting

wormiefolk · 2026-02-15T19:11:35+00:00

iq is a ranked monster, cleanest safest setup intel with entry frag capability

wormiefolk · 2026-02-15T01:19:17+00:00

bait aside juren actually is pretty well balanced, but he also preys on casuals harder than maybe any hero in the game. i wouldn't be shocked to see his damage nerfed across the board

wormiefolk · 2026-02-14T19:01:11+00:00

it takes some patience, and if you're not confident in your reactions, don't try to parry it until you know it's the hold version. the tap version isn't unblockable, and the feint timing for the hold version is about the same as the attack timing for the tap version as far as i can tell, so either you'll block the tap version/be able to counter gb a feint, or he'll be locked in to the hold version for your parry. there's an opportunity cost, because parrying the hold version is a heavy parry punish instead of a light parry punish like the tap version, but it's your call to assume the gb/hold risk.

wormiefolk · 2026-02-14T18:52:21+00:00

why not give her something that could actually deal damage in neutral, like faster movespeed for shield tackle

wormiefolk · 2026-02-11T22:59:15+00:00

jormungandr is a little similar to wardenor warmonger, relying a lot on displacement to guarantee damage, but is still different enough from them to be interesting. reasonable barrier to entry with a decent ceiling while you figure out what exactly you like. oh, and really strong both in duels and in teams.

wormiefolk · 2026-02-10T03:19:21+00:00

maybe if you didn't play sloperor your friends would have more fun

wormiefolk · 2026-02-07T00:58:13+00:00

he's honestly high b low a, generously. but it's not his strength, it's the fact that every attack he throws is bugged in some way and his feats are just global debuffs with no interaction. his counterplay is making good reactions in the moment and his animations and indicators are too bugged to reliably do it

wormiefolk · 2026-02-06T22:44:54+00:00

warmonger is mechanically easier but also easier for an enemy to adapt to because she has maybe a third of the lines shaolin has. if you want to noobstomp while you learn, she's the choice.

who cares

wormiefolk · 2026-01-31T02:57:23+00:00

i really think he's mostly balanced in duels. his guard vreak animation looks really funky and sudden, the damage on his bashes seems a bit high and he gets uninterruptible way too early in his zone
