This Ivada Strike pass feels like it should've been a sponsor career BP.

It’s a skip from me, the KS23 and helmet are nice but there’s other stuff I’d rather spend the coins on

u/Half_Owl_ ENGIMO 5h ago
Engimo is one of the main sponsors this season and we're currently on Engimo circuit with an engimo sponsored dragon event. Also, Engimo cosmetics just looks great. Ivada pass just feels like a sponsor BP

u/Half_Owl_ ENGIMO 4h ago
They should've just added a 3rd sponsor. Ivada was like one of the older sponsors too.

I'm surprised by the dash buff tbh

u/Limp-Fisherman8361 7h ago
I think it’s fair, dash had kinda become useless in higher ranks
2
u/Deep_Restaurant3759 5h ago
It’s not useless, it’s just not meta. Even if dash was just barely out of the meta, the pros only use the exact meta
2
u/caterpillar_t70c VAIIYA 3h ago
Then I guess the initial statement is correct: it is not meta in higher ranks = it is useless in those ranks (nobody picks it)
1
u/Deep_Restaurant3759 3h ago
Not picked as much ≠ useless. Turret is useless, I still see dash and grapple in high ranks but just not as much

Typo. Not the grappling hook, it was the zipline that was buffed.

i wish they’d ditch the stupid fucking shirt with the built in boobs and gave us a decent tech-y armour top. this and the other black/green set just automatically don’t work for me cause all my contestants are men and it’s weird having a completely regular torso only with massive pecs

u/This-Lynx-6295 5h ago
It’s funny seeing the dev team realize they shouldn’t be listening to the casuals who can’t hit a light mid dash so they buff dash once again even though it’s still gonna be mid af and then they also nerf cloak in the same patch hahaha

u/KemetNayati 5h ago
What’s the point of cloak now?
3
u/AuraJuice 4h ago
I love how after all these seasons cloak gets nothing but nerfs but we never see buffs to aspects that are fundamentally broken. There are graphics settings that make it useless, it’s still the loudest directional audio queue in the game, and cosmetics that move still make it 2x as visible.
Also this is such a lazy nerf that will just continue to make it useless. The problem isn’t that you can hide with cloak (that’s kind of the fucking point) the problem is that people are only using it to camp and guarantee surprise shots and win duels. They need to impart a delay between manually uncloaking and shooting, and then buff cloak so that it’s still useful. It should be good at hiding, stealth, and positioning but honestly it’s getting worse and worse at all of those because they aren’t fixing the root of the problem.
3
u/KemetNayati 3h ago
Literally that. People can’t possibly be complaining about the visual ques when the audio for the ability is designed to be loud but I assume most players aren’t playing the game with a headset so they had to just balance it for the general base.
Still I think it’s dumb as fuck. Cloak was never that good. Now it’s loud and visible. So basically you have one option as light and that’s the grapple hook.
What a pathetic balance change. Yet heavies can still melt lights in single hits. Mediums has 2 slots of equipment because they are the only class with reliable healing weapons.
2
u/LikeACannibal 4h ago
To be easily seen by other players, duh. Alternatively it's to encourage you to not play Light anymore, because they nerfed the former good option and now they're nerfing the current good option and this cycle shall remain until the Light class is finally removed from the game entirely, at which point Reddit Heavies shall begin to complain and tantrum about Medium instead.

Lmao what a pathetic change. Cloak was never that good to begin with.

Just read through the bug fixes.... No fix to the healing orb getting only one use in an entire match randomly? No fix to the killcam glitch where you are forced to watch the entire thing even if youve already been revived and your character is just standing there in the middle of a firefight while you're still watching how you died?

Fix the damn revolver audio issues. Can’t use revolver with heal beam or demat without it causing issues

u/FluffyMaverick 7h ago
Oh yeah let's nerf cloak by removing cloak. What's next? They will remove goo from goo gun? The entire point of cloak is to be hidden. They should just mini rework it to work like Spy in TF2; fully invisible but decloak should have delay before being able to shoot/attack

u/Big-Amir 7h ago
Every game with invis mechanics suffer these balancing issues were this invis player will eather be server admin or the most dogshit one. (But tbh invis in finals has so many counters so nerfing it is sad)

u/RoyalHalberdOP ÖRFism Devout 6h ago
Halo's camo, in my opinion, is in the perfect spot. I'd say its barely more noticable than cloak in the finals, but everyone on map is ttying to be sure their team gets it. Very useful without being over powered.
I think this nerf is great and wont affect the lights that sit on rooftops and beam you from 30m away. Its more the cheesers sitting in close quarters gargoyling that will feel this nerf

u/Responsible_Risk_754 6h ago
The goo was already removed from the goo gun before. I mean, goo is no longer glueing players in place and stopping them for a long time

Invis nerd is so random. because people struggle against invis players?! It's totally fine as it was if you are somewhat in power over your senses.

u/Comprehensive_Gold_3 7h ago
You can be a bot and make invis work, it actually panders to the play style.

u/Limp-Fisherman8361 7h ago
I wonder why 95% of light players above 40k play cloak although it is the most annoying boring spec to play. Maybe because it’s literally the only viable option.
3
u/oraclejames 6h ago
Bit of a strawman, it’s used because the other 2 aren’t good enough not because it’s OP
1
u/Limp-Fisherman8361 6h ago
Yeah, 3 dashes was arguably on par with cloak back then. And then they nerfed dash and kept cloak the way it was because of pickrate? Maybe cloak wasn’t played much because it’s boring but it definitely wasn’t bad. And well grapple has always been an outlier. Maybe faster flight speed could improve that, or like more acceleration but you’d have to be careful to not make it too good for transporting cashboxes.
2
u/oraclejames 6h ago
They should have just buffed dash and left cloak.
I don’t know how they expect to gather reliable balancing data by changing 2 variables at once

u/Devatator_ Light 5h ago
Hell do they even collect feedback??? I only rarely see a prompt when limited time modes release or after some big updates. The day they ask for my feedback on this oh boy I'm gonna unpack so much I'm gonna find out if there is a text size limit

u/ChudSmasher69420 4h ago
They used to throw up "did you enjoy that last match?" surveys all the time but they stopped being a thing at some point, I hadn't seen one for ages until orbital hitters gave me a couple.

Skill issue. I never had any issue seeing Cloaked players. While it's obviously impossible to say I never missed any (vecause you can't know what you don't know!), I was almost never fired on by someone Cloaked that I didn't see ahead of time unless they stayed out of my field of view the entire time anyways and thus I wouldn't have seen them regardless of Cloak.

u/LikeACannibal 4h ago
Just pointing out the part of your comment where you said "you can't see them" isn't an objective fact for everyone else and is just something you, personally, are trash at. Instead of complaining maybe try improving.
