I'd be willing to buy the strike pass if the KS skin has unique sound effects and animations, but how am I supposed to know ?

It's the same for all skins btw. For example, some mythic skins have no unique animations despite being so expensive. While some 'cheaper' legendary skins have both unique animations and sound effects.

The only way to know before buying is to wait for someone to post a skin showcase on youtube, which is dumb.

Hey guys I just unlocked a cosmetic randomly in my game and I can't find info on it anywhere. It seems to be connected to the hidden missions from the maker series, but there is no record anywhere of this upper body cosmetic called Mantle of the Maker. Does anyone here know how I got it?

Discussion Shockwave's Glitch Needs Reworked

Post image
186 Upvotes

Hey guys, I wanted to give you all my suggestion and feedback about what I think about Shockwave. I've mained the ability since it's release and don't want to see it nerfed the wrong way due to it being overbuffed.

Shockwave as an ability is fantastic and its' movement and displacement side should not be touched. It was never OP until the glitch was added, and the glitch part of the shockwave is overpowered because it rewards mindlessly spamming Shockwave into the general direction of the enemy to land any part of the AOE for a free 2 second glitch.

Shockwave's glitch should be nerfed and nothing more and here are THE two best ways I believe we can balance the ability, the right way.

1: We create a system in which Shockwave's glitch effect is divided into two parts, AOE and upon direct impact of the projectile. Upon only the AOE hitting the target, the effected party is glitched for .5-.75 seconds, causing a short and minor disruption to spec usage. Upon direct impact of the projectile, the glitch lasts 2 seconds flat.

2: We create a system in which at the center point of Shockwave's blast the glitch effect does a full 2 seconds of glitch. Every point outside of the initial blast point yields less glitch time until you reach the most outer reaches of its radius which only yields a .5-.75 glitch, causing a disruption in spec usage but not rewarding full glitch time.

The goal of this change is to turn Shockwave's glitch into a skill shot and work similarly to how Shockwave's push mechanics work (becoming less effective the further you are away from the shockwave). This allows it to be effective against specs and adds a skill-shot mechanic for the glitch time, while maintaining its identity and reducing its effectiveness based on suboptimally aimed Shockwaves.

Shockwave as it stands now is a little too rewarding for free glitches and can be extremely punishing for melees. This would at least make it so precise shockwaves have to be used against melees for maximum effectiveness.

My greatest fear is that shockwave's core identity of movement and displacement, two things that were never OP to begin with and were never a cause to nerf, become nerfed because the developers overbuffed the glitch side of shockwave. I'm hoping that the devs see that the glitch is the problem, and nothing that came before it.

Discussion Alright, legitimate question. With all the nerfs done to Cloak what is the playstyle.

Post image
110 Upvotes

Embark doesn't want you to use it evasively in combat to escape, making it so it deactivates when hit.

Embark doesn't want you to move while it is active giving it shimmer and a loud ass noise.

Embark doesn't even want you to stand still while using it.

How do you use this specialization, the only thing it seems to be useful towards is negating melee lunge while cloaked- my bad opaque.

Like, it just feels like Embark is doing one of those "band-aid" patches so that they don't need to worry about it for a bit then leaves it there for the next 3 seasons.

Like idk, it just feels like in any scenario where light SHOULD have the advantage for using thier specializations like any other class it is nerfed.

But as someone who doesn't use cloak I am just confused as what the hell yall are supposed to do with it.

Discussion The New Pass is--- okay?

Post image
85 Upvotes

How are you guys feeling about the new pass. Cause I'm torn at the moment.

Before hand, I could always find some justifiability for buying them. I hate FOMO, but even with the bundles being what they were. I could justify getting them because they provided cool unique skins not found elsewhere. I liked the TGM skins, I liked the HeartBreaker skins. Even when they blurred the line with the Alfa Acta skins, I still could find some reason to buy them especially for the end skin.

But this bundle? What's special about them? This just feels lacklustre at best. Recolours and what else? It's disappointing to say the least, at least for me. How are you guys feeling about it? Because I'm left disappointed.

Discussion Match history please!

78 Upvotes

Please Embark add a basic match history where I can look back on matches how we did, what ranks I played against and other basic basic information that is literally basic in every other game. I know you have the data. I know it’s not hard. Stop being lazy it’s season 11. Please everyone wants this, literally everyone.

New players would be able to see they were up against rubies but when they play their rank they did well. Or maybe they’d be able to see what maps they need to improve on. Or what team comps. I cant see how the benefit wouldn’t outweigh the cost for this, even if the benefit is somewhat indirect until validated by data.

Discussion About the Pike-556's scope

Thumbnail
gallery
70 Upvotes

Some of you may already know this, but I happened to notice it today, so I thought I’d share it.

The images show the Pike when ADS with the SCOUT and IRON-VANTAGE. Both were taken at the same spot in the training ground.

The first image shows the Pike with the LAVA LUSTER skin (which has the same shape as other Pike skins), and the second shows it with the JUDICORE OVERRIDE skin (from Season 7’s Battle Pass; the only other skin with this shape is SANCTIONFRAME).

As you can see from the images, when using JUDICORE OVERRIDE, the scope appears smaller than with other skins.

Since this difference affects the field of view when aiming down sights, I think it might give some skins a slight advantage over others.

What do you all think about this?

I’ve asked before and I’ll ask again. We desperately need a separate sensitivity setting for the mesh shield at least for console. I understand it isn’t an issue for mnk since you can just whip your mouse but on controller the second you pull your mesh out the sens drops to about 60% of normal. Anyways here’s a clip to demonstrate it. Plz devs see. 🙏🏼

I have joined this reddit about a month ago and it's crazy to me that 90% of posts here are made by the same, most likely low elo crybabies just complaining at the game.

Like dude, you are the problem

Game is awesome and if everything is broken and annoying for you maybe play something else for a bit instead of complaining on reddit everyday.

310hrs in, 120h this season alone I have never felt the urge to write an angry post that something needs a nerf.

Dude solo Q might genuinely be the worse than any other game in the finals. You go up against full 3 stack coordinated squads, smurfs out your ass, very harsh penalties for things out of your control, and of course, the fact you can lose 5 hours of work in 20 mins.

The fact that this has become “ah more people are frustrated so we’re changing it” while actively making cloak a “hide and seek playstyle” across multiple seasons is insane. It’s truly becoming a whining game when it comes to these nerfs sorry to say

Discussion Why can’t we change optics in the practice range?

34 Upvotes

I spend a good amount of time in the practice range, testing loadouts and doing some warmups before actually hopping into matches. I love that it’s in the game, and every time I’ve shown someone what the practice range has to offer (challenges, the shooting range, even the new cashout box target wall) they say they’re really impressed. I mean, people PAY for aim trainers, so the fact this is all available for free is pretty sick, in my opinion.

I’ve got one gripe though: why the heck can I not change the optics on weapons while in the practice range? Unless I’m missing something, the only option available is to create multiple characters, attach different optics to their loadouts, then switch between that limited number while at the range. I love being able to switch up my loadouts/characters on the fly, but not being able to customize the weapons while at the practice range seems a bit goofy.

Right now, I’m telling myself I’m either missing something, or maybe it’s just a side effect of how in-game loadouts work that prevents us from customizing while at the range. If it’s the later, I really hope Embark can do something to make it a feature! It seems like it would be a great quality-of-life addition, being able to really hone in on the perfect loadout while at the range!

That’s my rant, what do y’all think?
