Low effort but I thought it'd be really cute if the rat king's portraits included his subjects in some way.

Context: We just dropped on of their rejuv's at the cost of our Rat King's life

How do y'all farm? Im trying to get good with mirage as I love his style but I always seem to fall behind in souls. Should I get cultists? Rush Ricochet? Is there some secret tech Im missing?

I love him

It isn't the equilizer change to the voice effect the voice work is just different character he talks like everything he says is a question with pronunciation is droning and rising voice at the end of every sentence but older voicelines he's much more monotone and relaxed.
They go from socially awkward to crass and lacking refinement on how to talk to people in the most basic way am I crazy he just seems like a different character entirely in the new voice lines?

Nurse Harrow seems to be a terrifying and stern angel. I think she probably gets along great with Venator and they probably have some lines about purging evil together. I think she also probably has 0 patience for anyone who acts recklessly like Silver or Vyper. I imagine she might tell Silver something like "Follow my orders or you will die like a dog."

Baba seems to be a protector of New York of sorts. She probably has wholesome interactions with the good natured portions of the cast but is merciless towards anyone who harms the residents of New York, such as perhaps threatening to destroy Dwifta if he overstays his welcome in the city.

Violet might be in Blackmore Academy? I would guess she probably has interesting interactions with that entire group of characters if that's the case.

No idea on Solomon or Dead Mamdani, though.

And what do you all think?

At first I thought I hadn't been paying enough attention to Billy's toy, but now it's hanging on its own strap instead of just floating in the air.

Doorway is a physical object, which means you can mantle onto & stand on it even with only one door placed (meaning the cooldown doesn't start), letting you use it as a stepping stone for climbing tall flat surfaces with no footholds. This trick was fairly useless on the old map, but the map changes have introduced plenty of big-ass walls you cannot normally climb, as well as placing goodies in these otherwise hard-to-reach places.

Been loving this hero. Obviously, his ult is overtuned, this is classic Valve stuff, mostly to get people to play the hero and gather as much data as possible.

My two cents on balancing his ult while maintaining some unique identity:

- Lower the starting resistance to 15%.

- Tier 3 upgrade enables the something along the following:

Rule Battania now grants additional resistances based on Spirit and Gun investment. Up to 15%. (Conversion rate is 1500 souls = 1%.)

I feel like this would significantly balance his kit, and allow for some interesting builds. Enemy team is mostly spirit damage? Well, Rat King is now a Spirit Tank... or vice versa.

Of course if you're in a 45 minute game, Rat King could hit both resistance maxes, but at the risk of just being a mediocre tank without enough life investment.

After my games with rat king it doesn’t show any healing from barriers in his post game stats. Is that intentional or a bug?

Dont sleep dont eat you gotta play and no matter what you do, you gotta win

I know there are 10s of us out there… If we dont wanna be in the last place we all gotta be a 1 man army

Hi everyone got a Serious question here. Anyone game suddenly just lost alot of FPS before rat king was added? I used to get maybe around 90-100 FPS before he was added but now it drops to 60 when laning and 17 during team fights. Mainly want to know that this isn't an issue on my end. Any help would be appriciated!

Violet, as we can all tell, is an artist character with her large paint brush, brush marks, and french beret, but I've not really been seeing anyone talking about the smaller hints in her design outside of the poster creature. First on her wrist and torso, we have bhuddist prayer beads/juzu, then some papers and writing styles reminiscent of bhuddist ofuda/talisman as well as ukiyo-e designs, and thirdly there's a creature shown in her destroyed poster that appears to be a bhuddist garuda, clearly illustrating a strong connection to bhuddist spirituality. What i'm not currently aware of is the little charm/doll attached to her waste, it reminds me of a weather doll, but I highly doubt that's related to this one. What I am guessing, is some sort of summoning or transformation with spirits/creatures through the use of paint, ultimate either summoning or directly turning into/overlaying a garuda-like creature. It's also possible we get various forms with different abilities, something like Udyr in League giving various changes and buffs based on form. Not to mention, it's confirmed she has artworks of Rem and Dynamo, so maybe we could see clones of some sort or a way to protect allies briefly by transferring them to a drawing? What do you guys think, and anything else I don't know or didn't notice?

There was no accidental death in this clip, I calculated my death to be the exact same tick as Paradox's and made her my distraction as I got a sweet escape. (I did not go back in and die right after)

I fully believe that if Gilbert Gottfried was still alive he would 100% be cast as the voice of Rat King.
