Can you link the vod or at least tell us their name?
(These are two account of same person)

Unfortunately they stopped playing ranked before nov. but watching their replay will give you a point.

I personly really dont like these kind of "movement teching" though

I disagree with this. I think most of the heroes have abilities that synergize well with each other
I think that kits often synergize, but they sometimes dont FLOW.

eg. When I talk about mobility heroes, people often bring up Lash, and his grapple does feel great, but the way the movement and camera are locked when he does ground pound just doesn't feel smooth to me. I know they tweaked the camera recently, but even still.

I also don't like so many enemy-targetted abilities. They're finnicky, they slow the game down, and I'd rather just use my own aim. I understand why they exist... I just don't like them.
 
I don't think Valve is infallible, I think Valve focus on different fundamentals to Riot and therefore make fundamentally different games. There's a reason nobody finds the gunplay of Valorant interesting but CS2, which is basically HLDM, is popular as ever.

Both games are popular, and that's okay! People like different things, and they're not wrong.

Frankly, I don't care about what other people find interesting, I care about what I find interesting.

I feel like a lot of your issues are stemmed from the fact that it's a third person shooter rather than a top down moba

Not at all, I'm mainly comparing the hero gamefeel to Overwatch... Maybe that's unfair.

And regarding seamless-feeling super-mobile MOBA heroes, they already exist in other third person MOBAs like Smite [Susano, Ao Kuang, etc.], the Paragon games, etc.


If anything there's a lot more you can do with that in the third dimension.

Agreed honestly. While Yamato and Lash are super cool and mobile assassins, I think it would be cool if there was a super hard to play glass cannon hero who was all living and breathing mobility. Noobs would get stomped because they overcommit and don't have any escape tools left, but experienced players would nick you a thousand times then go in for the kill. Thats my fantasy at least, I want to see Valve pushing the limits of mobility in this game

It would be useful to name some examples for Valve. When I think "super mobile high skill ceiling assassin" in a shooter, I think of a top-class skulk or fade player from natural selection.

There are so many examples. We all know Tracer, Genji, Sombra from Overwatch [even post-rework Pharah].

Paladins also has a bunch, most notably Evie

Vora
Vatu
+ Seven, Koga, etc.

These are the kinds of characters I never get bored of playing.
 
What exactly is your idea for a new hero? Teleporter? Be clear with your communication since nobody can read your mind.

I've already provided over 10 examples of specific heroes from other games that I love, and I said
Give me complicated heroes with tonnes of dashes and blinks, give me a high-APM hero who can out-mechanic any situation even when a bit behind, give me a limitless skill ceiling!
Here's one of my concepts demonstrating this type of kit:

This guy just wants modern day dash trash that sends you flying across the screen at the click of a button because some other game has it. He's never gonna ask for solly or demo to get ported from tf2, those designs actually take effort and have trade offs to using their mobility. There's a huge difference to how the designers of ye olde times implemented mobility to how modern hacks larping as designers do it now, and I'm glad that Icefrog is looking to implement the former instead of the latter.

Boomer nostalgia horseshit. Tf2 was inspired by classic arena shooters like Quake which have just as much mobility as any modern "dash trash". And then you have early 2000s games like Gunz which put any modern twitch shooter to shame.

Frankly this gamer elitism just comes off as sour grapes because it's not your skill set. It's totally fine if that shit isn't to your taste, your tastes aren't superior to anyone elses.

No I'm not going to ask for that because i'm not a boomer reminiscing but the good old days, and I have no idea wtf you're talking about.

These repeated acts of public Valve-fellatio on my post are becoming indecent. Idc how tasy Icefrog's dick is, go find someone who cares. Why are you still reading my thread?
