This game is shit, new game when

r8 my build

Watch bird teaches shit to better understand positioning and what you should be doing at any given time. No matter how good old you get your aim if you're out of position it's gonna cost you games.

scoping in is already pretty fast. is the 75% really worth it?

>Fernando poster wasn't first

banned for spamming

>posting before Fernandoposter

I wish the Paladins, Overwatch and TF2 communities got along better.

general slow af

guess everyone left for overwatch :(

i dont play this game but have a bump as thanks for the porn

YOUR SIGHT FAILS YOU

Fug you.

As long as there are retards like Weegee and Alpharad, they never will.

thanks hi-rez

How do you counte rEvie as Kinessa?

Stay closer to your team

Why is she so Purr-fect

You don't.
Pray to RNGesus for a lucky headshot, so you could instagib her.

So! Is there anything in particular you're eagerly awaiting with the new patch? The new champion, Ash? Skins? The reorganized chests? Perhaps a buff or nerf you're keen to see?

Drogoz nerfs.

Ash and mukoa/drogoz mastery skins. too bad Fernando didnt got one this patch

Losing the ability to disenchant a certain card if I want to and champion mastery rewards being lowered again.

Andro and Drogoz nerfs (they both should be nerfed more tbqh, especially Andro)
Willo buff
Ash
Updated radiant chests
Stuff being cheaper

Hi Rez forcing me to retain legendary cards that are fundamentally busted and useless by their own admission.

>be Buck
>hop onto Fusilade Drogoz who's got half hp
>he actually walks closer to my face because lol giant target and fucilade
>he kills me before i kill him because he does 3x my damage when we're at close range
>this is perfectly fine to hi-rez

They rework legendaries like crazy though, Inara's Mother's grace went nuts with debuff immunity until next patch where bonus healing becomes innate. I will hoard mine just in case

If he was really at half hp, you should have been able to 2-shot him when you land on him. Even then, running straight into the highest dps champion is pretty stupid (he still needs 3 rockets to kill you at full health)

Some skin to expend my 730 crystals.

>file deleted

What happened?

A janitor deleted the file.

To straight for Janitor.

Ash looks like lots of fun but realistically I won't be able to play her for a few days because >muh instalock

Set chests are great but I won't buy anything right away since I want to see the summer skins first.

Would you?

Depends. Which Legendary is she using, and what item did she buy?

why does ESL-kun insult everyone??

The only justifiable +damage legendaries are Makoa's hook one and Dread Serpent one.

So can someone who has used PTS tell me what I'm missing here?

When I look over Ash's abilities, I basically just see Fernando - only they shaved off some health, made his gun (even) shittier, made his shield ability (even) worse, took away his anti-healing, and then topped him off with some meme knockback abilities and an ult that half the roster can spoil with the press of a button.

Oh, and her cards are way more boring.

Holy fuck playing Frontline is suffering. If I'm support, I try to make their lives easier by sticking around, but it sucks complete dick to sit around with no back up.

Her gun is more like Willow's so she has alot more reach, her shield is useless. Charge is godlike if your timing is good with her legendary. Legendary is better since you need to knock her out and on certain maps/point that is impossible.

She is better as a support tank to bump people out of the point then outright tank.

too bad buck was nerfed into the ground

First and most common mistake is to stand on the point no matter what. You can contest it 1v2 and even 1v3 if you are good but its complete suicide to face their deathball head on. Either join your flanks to support them or protect your damage from their flanks until they break the deathball

I thought kin was indian or middle eastern

Fuckin lmao my man

>playing as buck
>losing a 1v1

you have nobody else at fault but yourself.

Idk why they start drama, they are smash players who post outdated memes. that's like a precursor for "my opinion is shit"

also alpharad off the mic is possibly the most socially inept person I've ever seen in my mic. Weegee just has a huge ego and shills on /ssbg/

I've seen people with purple and blue borders on certain characters along with their level, sometimes having a shield or two swords at the top of it. What is it and how would I acquire it?

I think we all wish that could happen.

She bought aggression.

Cards still don't work in the shooting range

It's from competitive mode.

Reminder that K/D doesn't matter at all

My guess is they all overextended to go killwhore while the makoa stayed by the cart the whole game telling them to come back then you wiped their team and pushed to win and he started raging at his team in the lobby after the game

is there a better feeling than winning against a team that has both better team comp and better skirmishing skill on an individual player basis because your team sticks together more to play the objectives

The feeling after is like a 1000 pound weight lifted off of you but during the game is the most stressful and frustrating shit ever

>tfw your opponents gain 3 points ez but your team got their shit together and you actually win 4-3 out of nowhere

But of course, most of your teams will expect you to go 1v5.

What a meat grinder. But you got the W. All that matters.

>shills on /ssbg/
That's legit sad. I used to mock him for using a meme for his name but that's even more pathetic.

Is that art new?

"""""""""""""""""""""""""art"""""""""""""""""""""""

How to fix Drogoz
>remove damage cards and wyrm legendary
>give him actually decent mobility by default (do this for maeve as well)

Quake dragon was loadsa fun, but even more busted than what we have now. It's best wyrm stays it's own thing with no extra bonuses

If he didn't do such an absurd amount of damage it would be fine. Give that damage to Willo.

damn smite general is consistently getting archived 200 posts in and the playerbase is decreasing.

Is Paladins going to be the last frontier for Hi-Rez?

Last: doubtful
Main: definitely

Imagine if Hi-Rez didn't live for the shekels.

I feel bad for not going there anymore but at the same time the game fell off pretty hard for me this season. Only play with friends or when there's a quest event and haven't spent money since CtF. The majority of the new characters just taking kits mish mashed from older characters turned me off too.

This game is fun for now (though it's a lot harder to just fuck off and do whatever you want in a lost game than in OW) but I don't see me sticking with it for long, and I'm definitely not spending any money on it.

>caut 3
>reprieve heals to full anyway

I heard you can get free crystal from watching ads and shit
How?

Iceblock cleans debuffs

Considering they've used F2P models for all their games since Global Agenda's rerelease in 2011, they'd probably be broke.

Yeah if they weren't managed by greedy kikes the games would be great. Smite has adventure modes that could simply be new game modes that would be spectacular with some refinement, but they just shit them out as a buggy unfinished mess to get people to buy the cosmetic packs that are themed around the mode.

Paladins is already going down the same route before they're even out of beta. Shitting out cosmetics but bugs, balance issues and quality of life changes take months to years to address (if they ever are) and then the servers are still garbage.

/ourguy/ drybear is already working on Hi-rez's next freemium cash cow.

I'm honestly excited for what they do next. I've enjoyed everything they've put out, except maybe Tribes.

>/ourguy/ drybear

youtube.com/watch?v=Ln4Ps4rIN1w

What was it you disliked about Tribes?

I use the Drybear announcer, it's okay I guess

It just wasn't as fun, especially with the grind. CTF is an awful mode to try to play with strangers online.

>Available for 1 Gold!
Why didn't they just give it to everybody who launches the game?

Because then, there wouldn't be a video.

Torvald can give an ally a 2000 health shield, 40% movement speed and 40% damage for 2 seconds on a 7 second cooldown. I never see anyone use this. Is it not as good as it sounds on paper. Keep in mind Protection can be given to anyone at any range as long as you can see them.

The thing about that-you need teammates who can stay where you can bubble them, and who can recognize the bubble as the "go" sign to start unloading.

Getting that kind of coordination with total strangers is not always common.

>tfw I'll never get best skin for best girl

>He likes sluts
What a sad life you must live.

Ah, it'll show up again next Valentine's Day.

Pretty sure anyone who wanted Pip's Cock Cannon is SOL, though. Wonder what we'll get for the Year of the Dog.

I use that shit all the time.

Ally running away from battle with no health? Pop a shield on them.

Flanker about to sneak up on an enemy? Give 'em a shield so they have more damage.

Healer existing? Pop a shield on them for the 300 shield points I get from doing so because no one is around for miles.

That bubble is fucking great, man.

Vidya sluts are fun

That's so far away though, life sucks

Surprise speed boost can throw off your aim and can be more harmful than helpful. Same reason why people don't use swift spirits on Mal Damba.

does anyone ever actually use Gundam Fernando?

no because nobody uses Fernando.

because you dont play with me :(

maybe someday, handsome user

Redpill me on top three cancerous champions.

Who'd you guys vote for the community skin?

androxus, reprieve evie, and kinessa
also when did redpill become a synonym for spoonfeed. fuck off

drogoz, drogoz, drogoz

...

I think Ash is Kinessa's older sister

fuck off as fast as possible.
