lies. his ult doesnt stop if he hits a wall. he lierally just has to turn his camera

ive been robbed off of the most amazing feel ever

feels bad man

I didn't say this drogoz was good. That's why he missed.

Teleporting as Ying is an effective way to counter Drogoz Ult since it counts as a hit if he hits your illusion. Shame they never uses it on me though

Cums per minute

o/ =^.~=

Hey baby, wanna suck my dick?

Post your smuggest bomb.

I fucking love Bomb King

>tfw 250 ping in every game
>So it's near damn impossible to play the big beautiful bomb king

who doesn't

He hurts my body and face a lot. But dangit, I love him too.

Anyone ever got that lag bug where he starts swinging his arms really fast but throw no bombs, and the only way to fix it is by dying?

Yes. I also had poppy bomb bug out so I couldnt use it the entire match even after death.

Yep. but that was patched in the last patch.

Maybe now i'll play BK more often.

I was so fucking mad when poppy stopped working on Fish Market.

i also had this happen with drogoz, where my launcher was flailing wildly with bugged shooting sounds

Oh that was the best thing ever
>payload rolls out of mid through the tunnel
>throw a poppy
>triple kill

torvalds ult is gonna be amazing on fish market

but god damn its nearly useless now

>lay down a poppy and wait for someone to walk over it
>enemy cassie does
>pop her
>she just boops a little over the cart, nearly falls down to the docks
>she didnt buy any resilience

its kind of pathetic now

at least before it had a purpose, however gimmicky it was

This is a must if you enjoy poppy-bombing.

ohsweetjesus
That's going to be my go-to from now on.

i like being discreet about it and using it at the right time
people dont look at their feet in this game so you can just lay one down and pop it when you need to

i found people just shoot bombs that are stuck walls/floors. and they glow so theyre hard to miss - but whatever works for you

>People say drogoz isn't complete shit

He's a blimp with an enormous hitbox. Every DPS blows him the fuck out with ease.

I'm trying to get into competitive so i can have serious matches. Should i just pick who the fuck i want in casual, not worry about winning or losing, and just get 12 characters to mastery 4?

>guys! Im terrible at drogoz!

Losing often will mean that you'll be gradually matched with even worse people in casual but I don't think it will affect your competitive ranking.

How many more do you need and who do you have to choose from?

>f skill shoots you up lile a flare where you are more visible than on the ground behind a building, instead of actually letting you retreat or attack like everyone else's movement skill do

what are you trying to prove

Well, he's shit. Why strain yourself to git gud at a shit hero? Could just play someone good instead.

...

>Think Drogoz is shit because he's an easy slow target
>Palg tells me how to be fast
>Play fighter jet Drogoz and carry games
>Paladins is so much fun!
>Drybear fixes fighter jet mode

>Drogoz is shit again and is only good for fire spit

He's not useless but the fun in playing Drogoz is gone for me. I'd rather play Pharah.

just because you can't go faster than androxus dosen't mean he's shit
he had a fine showing in the recent tournament and his winrate is fine across all levels of skill

I'm not really sure what I was expecting to get out of this.

You seem to have some space there to continue leveling your characters up without having to suffer through too many unwinnable games though. Start by instapicking a damage or flanker and then switch if you feel you might have a better chance of winning if you go with one of your underleveled supports or Fernando (or Torvald once he gets released).

>there are people in this thread that are shit at Drogoz

How can you be so bad? He's so easy to do well with.

Yes.

Update when?

probably friday

>do well
it feels like shit though
somehow I can shit out damage, probably because of firespit, but playing him feels impotent as fuck because no splashdamage, and flying feels like shit too because he's even slower in the air than on land

Thread reminder that Torvald is everybody's father, even Grover's and Pip's father, and Paladins is just a big family reunion.
But because they all have daddy issues, they all try to kill him.

Except Grohk, he's just a random orc that was bored and joined the family reunion for food.

as with every champion find your playstyle and use cards to enhance that playstyle.
doesnt sound like drogoz is for you.
but good drogoz can team wipe, and saying drogoz is shit is actually just you admitting your shit at using him.

Plot twist: Grohk is actually a girl and is everybodies mother

Dumbest fanfic-tier horseshit. Shut up.

Isn't that what all fanfic is? horseshit.

I love playing with Brazilians, they always gives me exciting matches!

I thought he was theorizing.

>The How To Basic Bug
Slap that Skye to death!

Cuck.

I like how he sees her butt and then just straight up spaghettis.

Was it Drybear's idea to make Evie this cancerous goblin who exists to tilt inexperienced players?

Throwing infinite bombs at that speed should be his Ultimate.

How would you introduce sex as a fun gameplay mechanic into this game, if you had to?

>Drogoz had a fine showing in the recent tournament
[needs citation]
Wasn't he picked only against some scrub teams like the asian or brazilian one? Because picking Drogoz against Perdo's or Stolzey's Androxus would be a certain death.

>then they all explode simultaneously when the ult timer expires

Characters of the opposite sex can mate during the setup time.
Mating has a chance to make the female character pregnant.
The pregnant character's movement speed gradually decreases over the course of 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes the character is rendered immobile and has to survive for 1 minute while "giving birth".
This creates an extra player slot that will be filled by players that are currently in queue.

Whenever I play Ying and hear Drogoz ult I always put an illusion before the tank to block it.
And then they run away from it and get punched anyway.
Feels bad man.

Hey well done, I can dig it. Not personally big into pregnancy but you worked that into a gameplay mechanic super interestingly. Colour me impressed.

>be BUCK

Just fuck my shit up familia.

>blaming your team
this pretty much always means it was actually your fault

Anyone else having huge fps drops after the patch? On the plus side I can now see Grover's foliage with the lowest graphics.

pretty much
>flank or damage blames their team: their fault

>frontline or support blames their team: pretty much out of their hands unless they're trying to flank themselves

he had a 50%+winrate and had like 20+ matches, he's fine.
stop acting like he's skye tier because he's no longer the undisputed best champion in the game.

Spotted another person with daddy issues.
It's okay friend, Torvald loves us all

(You)

t.frontcucks

If I'm creaming the enemy backline to the point were I'm getting focused in 3v1s and my team still manages to not cap the point then there's something wrong with them, not me.

Discovered this by accident.
Also If you hurt yourself with stickies BK will make Barik sounds.

neat. but pretty useless

drogoz is the hardest class to play

drogoz takes skill

My favorite class is the Ying. How hard do I have to fight to get her in ranked?

>any additional movement tech whatsoever
>useless
this nigga

You make a compelling argument

I don't get it.

Dammit, now I noticed that I missed the 1st stickys knockback.

You can jump a bit farther if you detonate stickys under your feet.

inb4 shitters asking for Torvald nerf because they never buy wrecker

Special phrases that you've found out

When you kill Cassie as Bomb King he says "Oh look, she rolls even after that"

>lose half your clip and deny yourself off of regen just to get 1 meter farther

It's part of the reason she's my favorite, it's so much fun to bait people.

Good. Post more lizard getting btfo

ded

What are those character bars on the top?

spectator mode

gay, they seem useful.

DED

GAM

Shotguns are considered aoe damage for blast shields purposes?

Nnnnno?
Things that go 'bewm' on impact are splash.

No. They're many pellets that each deal direct damage.

Grover has a couple lines about forest fires if he catches on fire.

if you burn Nando he will say: "hot, hot, hot... and spicy"

Drogoz is actually kinda hard to play against competent people on hitscan champions because they'll shoot you down if you stay airborne longer than needed

That's mainly the reason why I've stopped playing as barascalie. This and second DD constantly picking bomb king.

It doesn't help that he kinda floats down instead of drops. If he dropped as fast as he shot up, then I know I'd have less trouble with him getting sniped out of the air.

Buck to Cassie: "Guns are better than bows!"
Tyra to Mal: "I'll take your mask."

Mal says "You think fire can kill ME? and Skye says "I got HOTTER~"

What comp rating can be considered good?

5000+
