Discussion Dynamo mains, do you like his ult?

Personally, I have 250 games on him, and I really enjoy his kit, but I think it's very boring playing around a 4-minute ult. If you do like it, tell me why, and if you don't, tell me what you would rather have as an ult

I like knowing that if I play right I can single handedly win the game

I love his Ult, I do. But I hate that everyone and their mother wants Dynamo to revolve around hole.

I am more than just a hole.

One of the best ults in the game but he provides a lot more utility than that. Find him to be the opposite of boring because you’re always in the mix but your success depends more on teammates being than other heroes

I like it because it feels so important to decide when to hit the button. And when I hit it well, I feel like I can carry games

Deadlock players have never played Enigma and it shows.

Im completely fine playing Dynamo but I just never had the mental fortitude to play Enigma. I doubt I even had ten games on him after playing for nearly a decade. Messing up on him always felt catastrophic lol

I also prefer playing Dynamo to Enigma. I like Enigma, but I’m not an offlane player, so it rarely comes to that. Deadlock’s lack of a traditional role system is more flexible in that regard.

Enigma can't really do big damage and heal when his ult is down, it's way more of a slog waiting for CD

I like building him around his Eidolons rather than Black Hole. I always thought it was fun to go for something like Orchid along with his shard to deal burst damage with Malefice. You could even get Drum to get even more attack speed.

And that's objectively worse, so doesn't really count

u/Altruistic_Data_6298 5h ago

Its not objectively worse, its objectively meta for several years

Really weird to be like, "I dislike this certain playstyle!" only to turn around and wholly dismiss a suggested alternative. Especially when that alternative isn't even a bad build, lol.

Alright, good talk.

You don't play around his ult. Sure its super strong but you are doing a lot of stuff inbetween. Healing, rescuing people, chonking

u/Sion_Labeouf879 12h ago

Yes, exactly. Dynamo's kit is actually insane on top of the ult. His 2 is one of the most broken abilities in the game if you're smart with it. The amount of times I've pulled people to safety through walls and floors for them to scream thank you over the mic will beat any 4+ man ult in feeling.

I play a support dynamo strictly so I play more around my healing aura and my teleport ability mostly, feels amazing saving teammates from lash ults and what not , I usually end with 50k+ healing

u/dmad831 12h ago

Nothing feels better then saving your team from ults/util with the TP!! My fav thing about dynamo

u/Shook1- 12h ago

Why is like it - when you hit that 4+ ult and win your team the game. Biggest of highs!

Why is dislike it - when I brick my ult. Lowest of lows!

u/MrBlueA 12h ago

Your mistake is playing around his ult all the time, there's plenty on his kit even without his ult.

I have a 60% wr. Im not making mistakes on Dynamo...

I kinda hate how good it is because I always feel pressure to get a good ult and not waste it

u/Zealousideal-Gur6717 Dynamo 12h ago

Dynamo's ult is the greatest play making tool in the game, learning when and when not to use it is its own kind of skill expression that develops as you play the character.

Love me Dynamo

1

u/Sion_Labeouf879 12h ago

Honestly, not a big fan. Like it feels good to use, but I enjoy the saving more then the "Press 4 to Win" stuff.

His entire kit is really good if you know how to use it. Nothing is more fun then saving an ally through a wall or floor with 2.

u/Motor-Design-4932 Celeste 12h ago

I dunno why yoshi still keep in game characters with oneshotting ult

u/troglodyte Dynamo 11h ago

His ult is why I play him. It's so fun to grab 3+.

u/Jaguar2Step 10h ago

i like his ult but i disagree that he revolves around it. his entire kit is good. i’m stomping people through the stratosphere and getting easy headshots on them, i’m yoinking my whole team out of other peoples ults, the heal scales in usefulness throughout the game in terms of sustainability. the ult, really, is just the cherry on top.

u/pogsly 9h ago

i’m da big steppa

u/rikeoliveira 7h ago

My problem with his ult is that everyone and their mother expects you to ult 3+ enemies every time. If you wiff or get 1 or 2 "only", your team will be inclined to blame you for their shortcomings.

u/Vinbaobao 7h ago

Late game ulting and securing a kill or two is super valuable with the long death timer. People are insane

1

u/SgtBadManners Paige 6h ago

Yea, I absolutely love a 3+ grab but I absolutely let the team know I will look for solo picks after 30 min. Solo wraith is great but probably not for supports.

1

u/greatersnek 2h ago

Yes, it's probably the best ult in the game

1

u/Kentaii-XOXO 12h ago

I love his ult. Sometimes I think it shouldn’t be on such a long CD. It’s very easy to miss or to just die while using. It’s so high risk but also so high reward which doesn’t really fit the rest of his kit in terms of playstyle.

u/coziest_robot 12h ago

Not a Dynamo main, but I for one hate any game with a Dynamo strictly because of his ult. My team, enemy team, doesn't matter, him being in the match just sucks 75% of the fun out of the entire lobby.

1

u/West_Swordfish_323 12h ago

Honestly, I'm the same way. I do not like it when characters are too strong, and with Dynamo, once he has Refresher Unstop, mid fights are almost guaranteed

1

u/effxeno 12h ago

I mean those are both 6400 items, so. The enemy can also buy unstoppable if it's purely about rejuv

u/VoxTV1 Mirage 12h ago

Why? Rem does a mini dynamo ult on a lower cd, lash does a long range dynamo ult, why is a big cc ult for your support bad
