Finally out of oracle i guess lol. Crazy rank resets. At least my matches actually feel somewhat fun now from what I've been playing.

I kinda wanna mod Venator to have Alexander Anderson voice lines whenever he uses his abilities.

What is it with Silver player straight up terrorizing every lobby they are in with the most abysmal score line humanly possible? Currently Ascendant 1 and right now it feel like games are decided by which team has the Silver that will chain feed the other.

Unless you have someone with an execute a mildly competent silver has a get out of jail free card out of any engagement on basically zero cooldown.

The solo queue experience these days.

Silver's been getting me to play more doorman just because of how fun it is to slam the wolf into the kennel and completely ruin her ult.
 
Out of the new batch i think REM is my favourite so far. His kit is very versatile and he fits for how I used to play miku back in the day. If they ever bring four lanes back he’s going to be a nightmare.
 
Really I think the biggest enjoyment booster for me in solo has been avoid hero -> Victor. A teamfight with a farmed Vic with ult up, holding a refresher and with a rejuv charge is THE worst thing in the game as a support or fast-burst nuker. Can't even convince the team to retreat most of the time.

Hard agree. I didn't 'get' him until I realized how absolutely insane tag along and extended duration helpers were, and the fact you can throw helpers and use items while in tag along makes it incredible. Rushing divine barrier and hopping into the DPS and selfcasting the barrier (targets the person you're attached to if you're in tag along) when needed gives you insane early kill potential.

I think the single most iconic Deadlock moment for me is doing the slide down the side stairs into the rejuv pit as it drops and landing sleep on 3+ people. Always gets you at least two rejuv steals and never gets old. They never seem to realize that ven/talon's traps are the perfect counter to it either.

Yeah the tag along 25% boost on all items can get real nasty real fast.

And even when you go full support he can still hold his own in a fight. Even if you get ganked the ult + pillow + heavy melee combo is probably enough to dissuade whoever jumped you.

I would say he's even a better support than Paige. He has so many good aspects around his abilities and the map pretty much gives him free mobility and escapes when used perfectly. He's been my priority token pick since the update.
 
That is because paige is a very uninspired support that makes me wonder how it made through the design process. Rem had everything to be a bad support but they added enough quirks to the kit that he is very nice to play as:
  • Pillow is not a point and click, the projectile has an arc that allows more flexibility in how you use it. The knock back is also very fun, even if a bit unwieldy, so it gives plenty of skill expression for good players to make more fun plays like viscous punch.
  • The tether is very strong, but you also can easily deal with it (any ult stun, curse i think?), and he can't just sit on a carry since you are forced to hop.
  • The little birds are novel enough, they are great at stealing stuff but doing so forces Rem to go deep into enemy jungle to do so. Also they are pretty slow at taking sinners.
  • His ults range is not crazy far, and he is forced to go near the enemies to get a good ult off.​
Meanwhile, look at paige:
  • Super long range 1 that is fire and forget, so she doesnt even need to stick around.
  • 2 is a super passive shield that is also multicast when upgraded, and the multicast is centered on the target, so she can easily just plop shields from super far away.
  • 3 is a huge area root which is not even good enough to hold people down for 1, working just as a setup for teammates.
  • 4 is your generic support heal/stun wave ult, literally nami from league of legends.
The kind of support kit they pulled with Rem makes Paige stick out like a sore thumb even harder when compared to other supports, even when they had every reason to make Rem a more classic enchantress type character.
 
As far as I'm concerned the best use of pillow (aside from landing saucy hero hits from like 100m away) is when you're riding drifter or silver and they jump someone you can eject towards the person they're fighting and throw the pillow downwards at a 45 degree angle to bounce them towards your guy, almost like a bebop tower spike.

> Enchantress

Valve please give us an item that makes projectile damage scale with flight time, I want those 100m pillows to hit like hydrogen bombs.
 
Got a random invite into the beta and tried Kelvin without really knowing how he worked, particularly in regards to the ult and the move that makes him act like Iceman. Tried Abrams next and didn’t really like his gun. Anyone have reccs for someone looking for more pinpoint damage without being locked into a hard carry? Haze? Silver?

Try ivy, drifter, mina, calico or mirage.

Infernus is a pretty good character to get the hang of the game. He might not be the most meta pic recently but still one of the more solid characters to play, and his kit is pretty well rounded so you can usually build him whatever.
 
Seconding Mina or Mirage. If you like doing a huge burst of damage every 30 seconds with a few precise shots, Grey Talon.

Note that all three of those get most of their damage from their abilities rather than their leftclick, so building straight gun items is generally a bad idea if you're not trying to hard carry.

Also yeah if you've played any other moba and have an idea how lane positioning/awareness works give Drifter a shot early on. He's either the best or worst character in the game depending on how coordinated the other team is and at starter ranks nobody's going to be that coordinated so he tends to stomp if you don't know how he works.

Meanwhile I'm laughing like an idiot at Celeste ult. Thanks icefrog, we really needed chainfrost with a 5 second linger time. I'm sad she doesn't seem to have any Lich lines though.
 
Arin is (yet again) confirmed to be a regular dude and not le heccin' nonbinary icon like all the trannies like to cope

Pocket is 3 niggers in one character but the "genderspecial" mind is desperate for the validation their parents won't give

The long and short of it is that I’m so rusty from Dota that I can’t really remember what my main was anymore, and I’m barely better off for hero shooters. Only reason my my aim is still OK is because I played a lot of Doom Eternal and Ultrakill.

It's honestly quite impressive seeing this game get progressively unpozzed in real time. We went from proto-concordian slop to a gigachad priest character in like two years.
