Why does it feel like people have NO FUCKING IDEA what Iva's design supposed to be? I've heard people in here say that she's a dwarf, she's engineer from TF2 of all places instead of BLC, now she is supposed to be a sniper? She uses a SHOTGUN and her ult is a MACHINE GUN.
She's named "The Scavenging Inventor". She's makes her weapons out of shit from a scrapyard. Kind of like Junkrat is supposed to be, except Iva is a white trailer trash granny from the south. All of her weapons are shittily made and only half work. The jet pack is wobbly as fuck and spews oil everywhere, the taser only has one/two charges, and the machine gun is fucking crank powered. Also most of her abilities fire from the same overmodified gun. If I'm not mistaken, she also has a fucking fan attached to the back of her backpack to power shit like her taser and tractor beam. A fucking fan is somehow steampunk. The backpack is so huge because it probably has all of her shit inside of it because she's likely a nomad in the outer realms. I'm pretty sure they got rid of the lore but that makes sense to me, even if it is cartoony and worse in design compared to Junkrat.
Her being entirely covered is kind of questionable of a decision designwise I suppose. But what if it was supposed to be a lore decsion? What exactly are the outer realms anyway? Based on what she looks like, I would expect it to be wastelandy with dust tornados and shit. If that's the case, it would make sense to be all covered up. Honestly though, if her legendary showed her face I doubt it would be that much of a problem from that perspective. The problem I'd assume there would be from having the granny character always having her face revealed is that you have to make a choice between making her uncharacteristically hot or make her ugly and run the risk of losing out on waifufag appeal. Then people will use her to say this game has ugly characters.

Also for the record, it's extremely easy to say "This orc looks like a copy of the most well known and most popular orc in fiction" and no one will disagree because that's just how popular shit works.
To me, he looks absolutely nothing like Garrosh other than "It's an orc with orc features". Maybe to you it does because you actually care about WoW/Warcraft but I don't. That's just how it goes when you end up placing one example as the end all be all of orcs, they will all look like shittier versions of it.
I don't really like Destiny's design so I guess I can agree with you there. Except she's not a gypsy at all? Do you even know what a gypsy is or do you think "Gypsies wear lots of cloth so that means she's a gypsy"?
Brayden James
She's a frickin Jawa, from Starwars. Gods you guys are underage.
Colton Cooper
How am I supposed to play Bakko exactly? Am I supposed to focus on the axes? Should I just be constantly dogging people or shielding my team with War Shout and Bulwark? I don't really get it.
Hunter Parker
At what point should you move on from the tutorial champ?
Jaxon Morales
When you get enough coins to buy Blossom
Elijah Parker
He's best at peeling and his axe throw does decent pressure. He is best used defensively when they have someone diving to counter or to push people out of position away from their team offensively.
Gavin Campbell
What rites should I go with?
Levi Hall
The blue hair was a really bad call because it doesn't really make sense that she has it. Nobody associates dyed hair with soldiers or sailors, and it doesn't even really work for fantasy warriors outside of the most J of JRPGs. No matter how much you try to believe it, your brain knows that its not a natural hair color, and it just looks weird.
Contrast that with characters like Jinx from LoL, who is obviously very punk and it makes sense that her hair is dyed. Zarya from Overwatch is another example: she's an ugly butch dyke lesbian, so naturally she would dye her hair.
But why would a cyborg robot super soldier from space dye their hair? Doesn't really make any sense and seems like a glaring visual design fuck up. The same could be said for Alysia; use any of her recolors that make her hair blonde or brown and you'll immediately see how much better the character looks.
Austin Hill
Depends on comp, you can't to wrong with increased distance on E and axe throw heals. The rest dependa on comp but againest melee, expect to swing your axe a lot so getting CD reduction on Bulwak is god
Angel Hernandez

Evan Miller
dude nigger stop being autistic she's a pinball wizard not your gay soldier cuck fetish it makes sense stop consuming soy
Tyler Davis
I have enough for Blossom and I even have her kitty skin.
Robert Brown
I know what a Jawa is. I mean at best, it makes more sense than calling her a gypsy but that still doesn't make any sense because she's only short because she's a little old lady and she speaks with a country drawl. You're reading way too much into the dyed hair thing here at least with Destiny's case. She's like that because she's supposed to be a gaymer gurl and that's about it. I can suspend my disbeleif for this because it's not supposed to be realistic or based off of a particular archetype or setting that requires her to not have dyed hair or something. It's just "We're making an unrealistic character, let's give her blue hair. If you want to complain about Destiny having dyed hair, then complain about why Alysia wears skin tight clothes despite being an ice person and why Poloma wears both an extremely large cloak with a hood that look like they're supposed to protect her against the cold but has an exposed midriff.
Also in particular to Alysia, her entire design is just lazy in general. None of her recolors look good at all and I'd rather say that she looks best in her original outfit even if it's shit.

Carson Fisher
You know, call me autistic or something but I really fucking hate it when people decide to call things random shit. He's literally jumping into the air. How is that a teleport?
It's like when people call any form of CC a "stun" for some reason. Like are you seriously retarded?
Jaxon Taylor
You stopped playing because main parts of any multiplayer game - ranked and MM is pure shit. I stopped too.
Jonathan Stewart
why on earth would you want that they carry you

Every woman in this game has the most annoying voices and BM winquotes I've ever seen in a game, how do you people stand it?
Austin Moore

We don't. Specially Pearl, her design screams "annoying midget cunt".

Jackson Hill
I stand it because I'm not a thin skinned baby. They're not that bad and the only ones I would say are really BM are Taya and Pearl, which are 100000000% intentional. Coincidentally, I like both of them.
Landon Cooper
I honestly don't know how anything with that amount of damage and mobility can be considered support.
Blake Bennett
"Support" doesn't mean "le heal slut :3" They're actual characters of their own that can act independently from their team instead of being a crutch for girls and trannies.
Charles White
WAHH MY WAIFU CHARACTERS AREN'T WAIFU ENOUGH AND THEY'RE MEAN WAHHHHH
Jaxson Brooks
You don't have to be a thin skinned babby to hate all but one of the female characters going "WOOOOAAAHHH BRO U SUCK I POOP ON U KID" every game and those being their only 2 lines. It's grating.
Yes, generally people like it when the waifu characters are likable.
Blake Ramirez
is there a debuff on lucie that match you with complete retard whenever you pick her?
Alexander Myers
The only one that is BM is pearl God damn
Xavier Johnson
no it's just you
Oliver Garcia
Not only their VA but the entirety of Pearl and Blossom is the most annoying fucking experience in this game.
>Gonna try and pin her down >Silence >Jump >Jump >Counter >Bubble x2 >Silence

Yeah, no.

They are all annoying though. Except Jade, who is just ridiculously edgy.

Jack Wood

woah...
Alexander Lewis
>Enter arena where everyone has to kill each other to win >"wtf you hurt my feelings with your mean words" lol Pearl is literally the anti mongo support. That's exactly her niche. If there's any support you don't want to focus, it's Pearl. The fact that she pisses you off is pretty fucking funny since I'm sure one of those exact Raigon or Croak players she's great at fucking with when they mindlessly go in on her. Especially since you're actually dying TO Pearl in order to hear either of those quotes.
Kevin Robinson

I play Ruh Kaan exclusivelly so no, that doesn't even come close to my pain.
When a fucking midget has a 1.4s stun that fucks your shit up from afar while you are trying to not whiff your shitty animation with a dose of EPIC 0.8s SILENCE it makes you reconsider why the fuck do you even bother playing this game.
Chase Cooper
I think he was rumored to be a support but he could just as easily be a ranged. Seriously, just stop focusing her alone.
Christian Allen

Dylan Miller
>Let Pearl alone >Nobody loses a inch of their hp bars for the entirety of the match
If the fucking healslut trinity of supports didn't have permaheals maybe they could be easier to deal with.

Imagine being so shitty that you start complaining about an unpopular character being way too strong.
Jaxson Johnson
>Getting the orb against pearl >Your a range character
Levi Mitchell
>X character isn't popular >So don't talk about it She's weak in 3s but a monster in 2s
Adrian Baker
You're not talking about it though, you're just crying that she's too strong. Apparently she's just as strong as Sirius, Poloma, and Blososm by the way you think she makes the game completely unwinnable.
Christopher Brooks
Are you talking about Pearl? She is pretty strong. I wouldn't say she's as bullshit as other characters but she's underrated if anything.
Blake Foster
>Apparently she's just as strong as Sirius, Poloma, and Blososm by the way you think she makes the game completely unwinnable.

Liam Allen
What the fuck are you even saying.
People are just memeing about her kit and VA for fuck sake the shitters in this general literally will not let ANYBODY INSULT THEIR FUCKING MAIN.
Grow a pair or something my dude.
Lincoln Robinson
>People are just memeing How do you explain this then Apparently if you say something is extremely or really good that makes it true.
Anthony Butler
So, people cannot debate or throw some insight about a champion in any way or form or what?
Everything that user said is on point, does it mean she is OH GOD TIER S NERF NOW? No. Does it mean she is a annoying cunt design and gameplay wise? Yes.
Jose Ward
>Everything that user said is on point So you're saying the part where he says that Pearl is just as strong as an S tier character like Sirius is on point? Because that's exactly what he said with "She is just as strong as each of the character you mentioned". >does it mean she is OH GOD TIER S NERF NOW? No. So she's just as strong as an S tier character but shes not an S tier character. Makes sense.
John Robinson
>Sirius >S character
What in the actual fuck.
Asher Brooks
If Sirius is not an S character and neither are Blossom or Poloma, then who the fuck is? Thorn?
Oliver Perry
Your missing a few things >Has the rawest form of healing >Each charge has heals for 21 and carries 3 charges >Can burst heal someone for 63 heal >Bubbles have a 50% Snare on them so if you want to go through it your gonna be snared >20 damage m1 from rippling waters >This works with charged staffed for 27 damage >Sirirus >S tier Who the fuck told you that lie Poloma and Destiny Thorn is has lots of utility but he's not OP please nerf he's just good against ranged and supports and can force shit out of people.
Aiden Rodriguez
Ok, I feel like you are kinda new to this game or this general. Lemme tell you that the actual S characters are >Poloma >Thorn >Destiny
Other characters may or may not be equally good in certain situations but those 3 overperform at any situation with any composition.
Jack Edwards
I listed Sirius, Poloma, and Blossom. If I'm wrong about Sirius, then he's still saying that Pearl is just as strong as Poloma who is an S character. I hope you're not just going to completely forget about that because I said Sirius instead.
Joseph Scott
Who even said she is as strong as Poloma lmao
Logan Wood
Blossom bullshit is her EX tree Poloma is the best support in the game and is stupidly hard to punish if your melee Thorn was broken but he's been nerfed 4 fucking times. What the fuck do you want from him his Husk to root you instead of doing 10 damage?
Matthew Young
Its hyperbole you uncultured swine.
Asher Thompson
Are you fucking serious? Right fucking here >">Apparently she's just as strong as Sirius, Poloma, and Blososm by the way you think she makes the game completely unwinnable. She is just as strong as each of the character you mentioned"
Isaiah Moore
>What the fuck do you want from him his Husk to root you instead of doing 10 damage? Ah I remember that from BLC Thank fuck that isn't a rite and its just thorns only shit that would be aggravating
Jaxson Barnes
You misunderstood that user. She is as good as those 3 but not in every situation.
Wyatt Walker
>Play pearl in 2s >Can literally walk up to the middle and say this shit is mine >Play in 3s >I can't barely keep a motherfucker alive God damn pearl is a selfish support
Jacob Jackson
>He said verbatim that Pearl is just as strong as Poloma >NO NO NO YOU'RE JUST MISUNDERSTANDING HIM, HE ACTUALLY MEANT TO SAY THAT SHE'S ONLY AS STRONG AS HER BUT NOT IN EVERY SITUATION EVEN THOUGH HE NEVER HINTED AT THAT AT ALL AND I MADE IT UP SO I DON'T HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I'M WRONG
Jordan Morales
>YOU HAVE TO PLAY THESE 2 SUPPORTS IF YOU WANT TO WIN OR YOU'LL GIMP YOURSELF
Noah Cook
user I have been arguing with you for 15 mins now and you seem to have autism. You probably main Pearl and the amount of butthurt you have atm is flooding through my screen so good day sir and choke on a dick.
Jace Long
I think Pearl as a support is fine she has weakness that can easily be exploited. >Space is extremely telegraphed and when she uses it she's extremely vulrenable >One of her knockbacks is tied to her counter which can easily be played around >Her ex skills are extremely situational and could be better She's bullshit don't get me wrong but its fair bullshit poloma on the other hand is just bullshit to the point where she might have to be reworked

Wow she missed everything and then didnt heal herself after she disengaged, this truly is a good indication of balance.

man this thread is bad today
James King
Its Veeky Forums when we wanna discuss something its usually through calling each other names or greentext. on the rare occasions we do discuss something it's usually about ashka I don't know why but ashka is just a topic /brg/ just talks about
Jaxon Stewart
IS IT TIME?!
Zachary Jackson
Always Post your ashka builds and why you like it I always replace magma for The Flamestrike Q if I have someone who can set it up or supports who have no outs or prone to not having outs when they go in or out ie Pearl/Sirius/Pestilus I've been trying out combustion over inspiration against Blossom/Pesti And I really like it
Thomas Mitchell
>actually start noticing mistakes and opportunities to get full value out of all of my abilities This happens to me when I play Varesh but it's so incredibly frustrating when I do make those mistakes that I don't really think I'm learning anything. It's ether I'm top damage or I do 100 damage per round because I couldn't hit anything. I was hoping that playing him more would help me with my aim but I don't know if it is. Do I just need 1000 games with him in order for it to have any effect?
Sebastian Reed
I like to play safe and have orb control for unlimited R potential. Also a good coordinated Q+Thorn/Bakko is devastating on a team.
Gavin Robinson
I'm glad to know that my mains actually make people mad with their dialogue. I think they're both endearing and enjoy their voices quite a bit.
Oliver Jones
>No Heat I feel like that is one of the most mandatory of mandatory battlerites in this game. God damn I played without Heat and it felt weird not being ability to slightly reposition myself . I can see why you would take Eruption though since the increase is extremely huge but the base size of Flamestrike is enough if you have set up but if you do go Eruption it's almost hard to get out if you don't use waste an out I don't think it's worth it though over heat because ashka's m2 is your hardest hitting ability and being able to move during is great because base the shots will knockback and if you don't have Heat some of your shots will completely miss if you use it at max distance.
