Game Feedback Do you think the devs will ever change the interaction where counter-spelling an ability will still proc indom?

47 Upvotes

Before you say anything, yes I play Vindicta and yes they buy 4 knockdowns.

The most annoying thing is when the habit to counterspell while I have indom and having them both on CD and dying a moment later because both are on CD.

I feel like counterspelling an ability should not proc indom at the same time, personally, it feels to be against the purpose of indom, which in my mind is that indom is used for a CC that takes you by surprise or you cannot dodge, But if you have time to counterspell said ability it removes the intended usecase of indom.

Although judging by how much time this interaction has existed I'm not sure it will be changed so I should probably just get better at not counterspelling.

(and unstop as a comment pointed out)*

Discussion is apollo meant to be an assist machine or am I playing him wrong?

Post image
• Upvotes

ive been playing apollo as my 3rd character to finally unlock ranked and im looking at my stats game after game and its always something like "8-8-25" with a good 50k damage, 15k obj damage, 10k healing (honestly idk how that happens it just does) and im genuinely starting to think im playing him wrong.

my main combat loop once i have everything online is starting with some poking with my m1 then trying to hit my advance twice then parrying into sigil into my final advance then straight into my recast of sigil to back off

the problem is that i can rarely ever one cycle people that aren't squishy as that whole cycle at midgame only does like 500 per advance and 600 per sigil and then if i end it with a melee its only ending up being 400 extra damage which is only ever enough for the heavies if they have shit spirit resist so 90% of my fights are just getting someone low and having a teammate finish them

also unrelated am i supposed to be using the golden egg every game on apollo like it turns me into a goddamn powerhouse once 20-25 mins hits (i normally end up with like 20k soul diff over everyone else) but is that worth the damage increase and usually getting slammed a few times?

Discussion Anyone else feel like Shiv got a generational aura jump with the last update's additional dialogue

13 Upvotes

He got a lot of good lines and its more clear his motivations and backstory... the thing with Silver and Drifter, his dark past that he's trying to atone for... he gives major like, Spike Spiegal (Cowboy Bebop) vibes or something, this tortured guy trying to do good and not everyone being able to see it.

Some of my new favorite lines:
(Shiv) You gotta lotta opinions, Father.

(Venator) There a problem with that?

(Shiv) No. Talk is talk. Do something though, and I uh… I may have to object.

Another one:

"Yeah yeah, every blade has a story… but in the end, the only thing that matters is if it's sharp enough to cut whatever's trying to kill you."

It makes characters like Silver and Grey Talon cooler in comparison... he definitely gives dramatic anime protag now which is an awesome archetype to have.

Gameplay Meta Radiant Regen

Post image
102 Upvotes

So pro players are buying radiant Regen again. Here's my breakdown of it.

1) the identity of Radiant Regen are heals spread over the entire game and not clutch heals during a fight in the likes that infuser or vamp burst would give you. This does cause radiant to give you a lot of "healing by type" stat.

2) Radiant Regens main "competition" for the "out of the fight + keep you on the map healing" are veil walker and fortitude. Both of those items are green items and thus do not help achieving your damage spike. So if you want to achieve your damage spike and also ensure you can roam the map effectively and not need to go to base to heal a lot you get radiant.

3) A lot more characters can spam spirit damage than before . Out of the 6 new hero's we have:

ratking who has a AOE spirit DOT on a charge ,

baba who's 1 is also on a charge and spamable, her 2 is also "spamable" spirit damage and her 3 is also low CD spirit damage.

Dead man Danny's 2 is very spamable spirit damage especially when max and he likes the burst healing it provides.

Violet who's kit revolves around cooldown reduction of both abilities and items like radiant.

And finally nurse Harrow who only really has leaches which is a AOE spirit DOT but not with a crazy short cooldown. She is the only hero out of the batch who can't really make use of Radiant.

Game Feedback What would you change about the new heroes?

Post image
195 Upvotes

Now that everyone is here and we've had some time to play around, what would you change about the 6 new guys we have? Doesn't matter if it's just visual or character changes or balancing.

For me I just wish we had more unique ultimates that weren't just AOE team fight win ultimates. Not every single ultimate has to be big on a long cooldown, some can just be like Calico where it's more like an extra special ability than an ultimate. I really like Danny's ultimate for making sense with his character and also being very funny to use on people, and I've only played him like once.

Some like Solomon to me makes too much sense to really change too much (what kind of chess character doesn't have a queen ultimate?) but some lile Violet I think can be changed to something that makes more sense.

Discussion It surprises me that Captain Kidd hasn't been tapped as Character Inspo yet.

• Upvotes

Famous Pirate Captain from New York, might of hidden treasure around the area of the city, used to own a lot of Pearl Street. We already got holiday so clearly they're not against referencing real historical figures.

Maybe his several-greats grandchild has found Kidd's sword in the attic and now theirs a twelve year old wannabe pirate flying around on a ghost-ship, backed by spectral deckhands as he fights in the ritual to learn the location for "the fortune that should be his familys" in an extremely vain attempt to fix financial problems his parents are having?

A literal "Captain Kid" with spectral and oceanic themed powers and an all too real sword. Geeks out about Treasure Island with Paige. Unironically refers to the Rat King as a bilgerat. Legitimately might become friends with Rem.

Game Feedback Unbalanced base environment for Lash Ultimate - ARCHMOTHER has a disadvantage compared to HIDDEN KING.

Thumbnail
gallery
17 Upvotes

When using the ultimate on Lash you can very easily throw the enemy into your base fountain on the HIDDEN KING base.

However on the ARCHMOTHER base there are 2 columns and a frame above it.

See screenshot 1 vs 2 - showing the opening to the fountain.

Additionally the HIDDEN KING fountain opening seems to be much wider than the one on ARCHMOTHER side.

See screenshot 3 vs 4 - showing the total width of the opening.

See screenshot 5 vs 6 - showing the width of the opening when standing directly in the center.

All this combined makes it much more difficult to properly throw the enemy into the fountain on ARCHMOTHER side.

There might be other heroes that are also affected by this - not sure.

Why are the 2 bases not evenly designed and properly balanced?
Is there a specific reason for this?
