@JustJazzly don't really agree again, max 1 with gun spike means ur the strongest character in the game for like 5 minutes and you get to do whatever you want. you get enough money in this period to not have to worry. playing dynamo as a pure ult bot is pretty limiting

[alas, @basedhoner]

this bit dynamo players do where they pretend his ult is mediocre compared to the new characters is hilarious. a good dynamo ult can simply end the game. the same cannot be said for any of the new characters' ults

[proteus @proteusjumpship]

Dynamo Ult:

- 3 minute cooldown at full investment
- Lasts for ~6 seconds at full investment
- Locks him out of any other actions
- Puts him in the middle of everyone
- Easily CC’d
- Ends on death

But sure, pretend they’re remotely comparable

[alas, @basedhoner]

@JustJazzly ult doesnt need a lot to be useful, you only get 2 pts in it

[alas, @basedhoner]

@JustJazzly don't really agree tbh. the only greens you should be buying on dynamo are positioning based or unstop, you get the 800 soul expansion and 1600 duration on your ult and the rest can be gun spike and purples. plus 2 just counters all these new ults besides rk

@ontovitriol @TraxusDL @HamzaHDL para swap harrow and it's quite literally free with solomon ult

[alas, @basedhoner]

@ontovitriol @TraxusDL @HamzaHDL you realize that none of them were even there right

solomon ulted pit, paige died before getting there and harrow ult stopped a single person

the enemy team could have done this without *any* aoe ults because they were all out of position to contest

[alas, @basedhoner]

@KibryHouse genuinely unbelievable take

[alas, @basedhoner]

@SaturnDL_ we can't nerf kits based on how annoying they are to play against man, this solomon nerf just kills the hero lol he sucks

[alas, @basedhoner]

feel however you wanna feel about violet's visual design and/or writing but people complaining about her kit are fucking nuts. easily the most interesting of the new heroes

[alas, @basedhoner]

@bloodfrost27 @_aislingxyz and doesn't she have like 280 lines of dialogue for a single ability? doesn't exactly scream low effort, especially since people were glazing rat king's 2 voiceline count

[alas, @basedhoner]

@CONEY lash bottom 4 is genuinely disqualifying

[alas, @basedhoner]

@1zalco @K4nkOOp i mean i have no plans to play her, but pretending the kit has nothing going for it is a bit silly

[alas, @basedhoner]

@1zalco @K4nkOOp i think if you're a character that has abilities with effects that none of the other characters are capable of replicating it would pretty easily qualify as standout but sure

[alas, @basedhoner]

@poisonivezz her kit has far more tech than either baba or rat king though? what are you talking about lol. just been able to corner boost off her own paint and the stuff you can do with 2 is enough to put her miles ahead of rat king, and baba has been mostly solved

[alas, @basedhoner]

@StayEphemeraI @froggy_dl all of this still exists and matters more than it used to because again, people had no clue how to play

[alas, @basedhoner]

@StayEphemeraI @froggy_dl dawg all of this was more "fun" then because everyone was fucking terrible. you could simply build anything on any character and rinse lobbies

[alas, @basedhoner]

the order of the sinking star is my goty and i have played exactly 20 minutes of it

[alas, @basedhoner]

im good on the superstitious psychosis big dawg, gotta leave this stuff behind in woke 1. this is not a real problem.

[alas, @basedhoner]

@SaturnDL_ vindicta in dishonest is crazy and i dont even play that character

[alas, @basedhoner]

@keithedwards fundamentally you are similar to a republican op in your actions
