Why does EU hate Paragon so much?

We don't: Guild Wars 2 general pushed a dozen threads off the board and no one was around to make a new one.

Hoo boy, do I have a tale for you, /parag/

>offlane Kwang, naturally
>running /ourdeck/, naturally
>against a competent and aggressive Twin/ Aurora combo that manipulate the waves and poke me enough to take down the t1 in under 4 minutes
>our jungler is allergic to Offlane, and the enemy duo know he's never going tp show up
>I get Sprykin and start fucking them up, nearly take their t1 in return
>then Aurora gets her ult and I'm forced back
>ping for help
>midlane has problems of their own, our Khaimera is constantly getting themselves killed in safe lane when they're not AFK farming
>t2 goes down immediately and Khaimera starts spamming comms and trying to surrender
>our team pulls it back and start being the dominant force in spite of Khaimera dying every few minutes because he dives 1v3 when we're not around to help
>a bad Prime call ends in a near wipe and we lose an inhib
>Khai has been trying to surrender every time he dies, which is often
>manage to wipe their team at our downed inhib and push back
>take Prime, get some picks
>force mid and take the win
>in post-game screen I'm asked: "Kwan* wtf deck"
>I try to play it down and say "shhh, keep it under your hat"
>"go play bots noob"
>shocking twist: it was the Khaimera talking shit

jesus christ what a faggot

Let's keep her going until the Yanks get home from middle school. Or until Epic start pushing the game in Europe, whichever comes first.

>Bel did nearly 50k damage
>Countess was probably the only one empty on mana
geeze luiz

bump

So let's hear it /parag/ who do you think is going to be the first to get a re-balanced kit. They have said it themselves we are only getting one more hero this year. I personally think it's going to be Greystone or Gideon but the one who really needs a rework is Zinx and she needs it badly.

with any luck, Shinbi hater user will show up to try and stop this

Gid's rock is apparently being broken up into TWO rocks be still my beating heart, and Greystone is in a weird place because of how fucked his passive is with the new attack speed.
I'd say Sparrow's definitely going to be seeing some work, especially considering how they just straight up gave her ult to anyone who wants it.

Two rocks you say that could be interesting. Greystone is just out of place in this current rendition of the game he's laughable. I totally forgot about Sparrow she needs to be massively powercreeped kit-wise sure she shits out damage but as soon as she is cced it's good night Irene. At least TB and Murdock can dash or knock you back.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, they need to rework Aurora because she will never be balanced. Only too strong or underwhelming. They are trying too hard to force power into her ult and nerf everything else but it's pointless. Her ult is too good and it needs to be nerfed and buff her base stats and other skills instead.
Those nerfs last patch were absolutely meaningless and now they will further nerf her ult and she will be an unfun hero with only 1 purpose.

Re-balancing Aurora is easy as fuck but these idiots wont do it. All you have to do is reduce her ult radius, damage and reduce the initial stun to .5 seconds, and increase the spread stun to .75(this way Aurora gets more reward out of successfully chaining to multiple enemies, not just a guaranteed 1.5s stun everytime). Then compensate this by buffing her base stats, hoarfrost damage and root duration, and FIX HER FUCKING CLONE.
This way her ult is less "Aurora dashed into us and pressed r gg" but you don't ruin the entire hero because of the ult.

That all being said they will probably rework Dekker asap because she has no use right now.

Fuck off with your shitty suggestion. Gideon rock is already cancerous enough, i don't need two. What a joke.

Please do not change Zinx. I enjoy her current kit and i don't want it changed for something more generic. Her current kit is perfectly fine, just bring her mana regen back and all will be well.

I had a Dekker earlier that did a fine job, but she could definitely use some tuning. Not sure how I feel about Aurora, but do post that suggestion during the next community corner: maybe they'll even look at it.

I miss my 8.5 kda with Zinx. Now it's just a measly 3.
They really fucked her because that took a lot of deaths.

It's not a suggestion, it's actually happening.

Oh god why are they doing this

Doesn't "feel" good to miss a rock

So I need help guys.

I have a party this Saturday, just woke up with a big ass red spot on the tip of my nose. I look like fucking rudolf. Any recs to get rid of it?

is this because I masturbated to Shinbi ;_;

Adopt the mask as a man of the cloth

hopefully epic will adjust his rock and not just give him literally 2 unchanged rocks. but knowing epic who knows.

>is this because I masturbated to Shinbi ;_;
you fool

he's so cool, i hope he get a grim reaper skin. Like full on stereotype grim reaper, skull/hood/ scythe

Just went up against a stack:
>Master Riktor, Shinbi ands Rampage (maybe more)
>Shinbi would split and then use Finder of Playthings to slow someone right before Riktor threw his hook
>Rampage chain cc'd with his rock and that was the end of whoever they caught
Bullshit

>mfw I was Aurora
I did get a Halloween chest out of it, though 3 x Rep boost

durr

Going in for another one

Really shouldn't have.

My Riktor deck is Finder, Gaze, and Plague Lord. It's bretty gud I'm guessing.

I've gotten that from 5 chests. Tempted to farm solo vs ai.

Hm? What's that? It's completely fair to put me against a 5 stack in Discord who coordinate invade my jungle and murder me non-stop with chain cc because our comm-spamming faggot of an ADC is duo queuing? Yeah, sure.

Ha, got an invite from the enemy Morigesh because of that one.

:(

why was the thread more alive during the 3 weeks this game was perhaps the shittiest state its ever been in

I stopped posting as much

probably because people are actually playing the game

but plebbit it's saying Paragon is close to being a very balanced game like Dota 2 used to be with Icefrog!

So what is Sevarog, bed sheet on steroids?

seraths regret dick

That sounds unpleasant

Huh, emotes come in chests again. I got that damn dab emote for Chadblast in a gold chest after opening dozens of every type for the past two weeks.

>building that pussy tank-aurora bullshit when you could be 1v5ing their team
lmaoooo

you can tell how bad this games playerbase is by how many of them equip sprykin without understanding why its meta and taking advantage of it

i'm not saying i'm right and you're wrong, actually i guarantee you're better at this game than me, but when i play tank aurora i always beat teams that have an int or agi aurora. his build is really weird though.
that said i've also started building shit like totem/thermo/something that builds off of agi like flag bearer or shatter golem or whatever, so maybe i'm coming around to your way of playing her. what gems do you use?

I'm not even sure I understand the meta desu. I just buy spry-kin if the matchup is hard

I use two builds for Aurora, one for anti-heal/hybrid tank build, and the one you see there. Against certain teams I feel going tank Aurora is pointless when you can comfortably mow down a lane and kill 2-3 people who come to stop you, or just dash away because literally nobody can catch Aurora. There were no real threats on that team at all.

Gems in that build: Healing Towers, Potion, Ruthless, Lifesteal, Piercing Basic, and Critical Hits. I had relentless pursuit on in that game for some reason, probably clicked the wrong gem.

meta is lane pushing. 5 people with sprykin cant be poked out. get 3 vit have everyone buy sprykin and shove down the lanes. jungler can't gank 3 lanes at once and someone with sprykin can't lose a lane to someone without it even if they overpush it.

>three 10min queue + draft dodges in a row

Why do people try so hard to ruin the game?

no one is ruining the game. the game is a pvp game and people like to win.

t. stacker

low plat, every match solo q. dont ever wanna stack because i never wanna hit the cap. even when around 1550's i play 3-4 stacks in 80% of the matches

Come down to comfy gold, my dude. The people are more helpful and less cancerous radioactive keyboard warriors, too. Just don't stop until you hit at least 1400.
plus throwing games is funny

>10 IPs
really why are we so dead the game isn't even that bad anymore

I wish people understood that stacking brings in other stacks: nothing more annoying than getting gang-banged by three fucker who are coordinating in Discord because my shitty ADC had to play with his friend.

We get more posters as the threads go on, it's just a really slow burn.
I've always scoffed at the idea that we'll get a massive influx of new players "once Epic start marketing for real u guise", but let's wait and see.

i mean the game is completely unknown by most people so it being advertised at all will bring some more people in. the people acting like it will suddenly become a big hit are delusional though

Still early in the thread breven

>longing for popularity

/R6g/ was shit a month ago when reddit found out it existed. Now It’s a dead general but draw friends are coming back and people is nicer overall. wish /tfg/ haven’t died ;_;

Yeah but then I have to play with shitters again
Only in plat can a guy go Rev offlane and actually win the lane. In gold it's just a shitter getting ready to feed.

There's a saying the kids have these days: "you do you".
Let the shitters do what they will, because they're going to anyway.

>enemy duo is doing the double spry-kin meme
>they have zero wards and are humping my turret
>my jungler refuses to gank
This should be bannable

Oh you mean that mediocre deck that you've been spamming in every thread lately?

Let them be shitters. Your aim in gold isn't to win, it is to have fun. My way of having fun is getting a bunch of kills and making my teammates mad.
Most fun since 42 and I don't have 30 minute ques after midnight.

That's not me, I use it on Shinbi only.
Also, I don't call it things like /ourdeck/, I just shared my beliefs in what would be a good deck for high numbers of kills in gold and lower. There have been 5+ other people posting about it, but I'm gonna hazard a guess and say you're the hater for which my response was

It's just an opinion, man. You're the only one being vocally negative about how people have fun.

>sipping hot chocolate while playing paragon at 1am and shitposting with my bushbros
the halloween map is comfy they should leave it nighttime

yeah the halloween map is comfy

so...

aurora a cute

Different user, user. I didn't even criticize you harshly, I just said it wasn't as great as you were making it out to be.

i tried /ourdeck/ with aurora and went 4/3/12. I'm kinda drunk and blame my deaths on alcohol related bravado more than anything else. its okay. she obviously has no sustain but is hard to catch. gives her a lot of initiation, but she already has so much idk if its really necessary. i put red zone in he deck to try with her but our countess went red zone so i didn't want to do too much.

why do 2 iggy skins require a 1GB update

gonna throw down two ideas i've been thinking about as far as changes for carries

Rev: attack speed no longer affects reload time, rev being a FUCKING COWBOY now has base attack speed on par with TB. Reload speed is affected by leveling up his reload ability. Reload now gives a temporary attack speed boost. All abilitys (or at least his scar ability) now instantly reload his gun but does not apply the AS boost

Murdock: His completely useless speed boost passive removed completely. Replaced with "Murdocks Most Wanted": Murdock selects a target (somewhat high range for targetting) murdock gains true sight and removes X% armor on that target for X duration.

I was thinking about these ideas yesterday at work and just now got around to being able to spill them here. I can talk about them a bit more and length and explain my decisions but I gotta go to work again and won't be able to respond. I think both of those changes will really fucking improve them a lot and give them more use and utility overall

>twiblast builds font and acolyte and nothing else until all 3 inhibs are down
>he literally cannot hit anything and just stands 40 feet back and watches people shove down his lane
>gideon goes left with greystone and allows kallari to take mid to half while i have to hold mid and jungle
>grey finally goes mid while gideon get deleted by countess and wukong over and over
>phase just gets ulted by rev and deleted over and over
>doesn't even matter how many people i kill because every lane is always shoved to our inhibs and we're literally playing 4v5 because this twin is completely useless
i used to tell people it was perfectly possible to carry themseves out of shitter leagues but i don't know anymore. if i get more matches like this i understand why everyone bitches about elo hell so much. this twin should seriously be banned

ok boys

Countess jungle

help me build a deck I can't find anything that would make her first few minutes any less awful.

Post-4 she's fine, its literally that first clear that I'm struggling with

Just use Cull, it saves you around 5 hits. I use it for Kallari.

So Death/Chaos and no growth totem?

totem isn't required anymore its less HP and power than most late game cards unless you keep it for more than 25 minutes

Hold your fucking horses
Thorned Yomi
By "returns", does it mean that they take 65% and I take 35%, or do they take 65% and I take 100% of the damage they do?

Because if it's the former then I feel like an idiot to not run it on everyone squishy.

did it get nerfed? when?

im just lurking the general after not visiting for 2months. Youre right that the game balance is better after the garbage that was v42 but I bet a lot of people are still pissed and wont come back til another major update.
I want the game to do well but the growth totem cancer is so shit in soloq where unco teammates cant help end game before 4khp enemy carries are walking around. And that's barely touching the meta build people build on every fucking character

last week
you're a bit late

not to mention the 15min queue times im getting these days as an indication of the declining player base from the shit balance updates. pre-v42 I would regularly see 5min queues. fuck im so mad at the game's current state

this game was much better when wukong was disabled

...

Is there anyway to limit the speed of the download in the launcher?

I warned you about elo hell I told you bro

>not going full damage
this was your mistake

the cutest

Countess jungle is a bad idea since they removed the ability to Shadow Slip the jungle minions.

You'd best have source, fgt

saw it on tumblr, just search "paragon"

>lol, just look around Tumblr
God damn you, user. Outside of its godawful politics, that platform's a nightmare to navigate. Pretty sure they block adult material unless you have an account, too.

This game looks way better than League of Legends...

i literally just use tumblr for porn

faggot

Thanks
friend
I'll think of you when jacking it, if that makes you feel any better.

>20 min queue just to get a retard Serath safelane who feeds the offlane and does nothing but farm my jungle camps instead of farming his fucking lane
What the fuck is wrong with people in plat? Like how did they even get here?

carried by stack

>Game constantly freezes and crash since Epic can't code for shit
>Get told I'm AFK'ing and that I may be banned if I keep this up
Fuck Epic

All the good players have been leaving so shitters are finding themselves higher and higher.
t. Low Gold that is now mid Plat even though my KDA and WR hasn't changed much

>tfw 5 awful consecutive losses
I think I'm going to take a break for a couple of days
