So why does Fenix not have mana?

Dietrich posted:Are you worried he's going to spam his 12 second cooldown and his 15 second cooldown skills too often? It just seems like the other characters with no mana were very specific design choices, and for Fenix they were just like "eh gently caress it, let's not bother." Remember this is the same company that decided Hammer's siege mode had to have a mana cost until they moved it to D. Like why does Hammer even have Mana? Worried he's gonna spam those mines every 12 seconds, and use concussive blast on cooldown? Elysium fucked around with this message at 17:43 on Mar 27, 2018 |

Worried he's gonna spam those mines every 12 seconds, and use concussive blast on cooldown? Hammer's mana might as well not even exist. At level one spider mines costs 45 mana and she regens 42 mana during the cooldown. Nanosteel plating costs 30 mana and she regens 36 mana during the cooldown. Concussive blast is literally the only way she can lose mana because it only regens half of it's mana during it's cooldown, although by level 10 that's no longer the case. And she starts off with 500 mana which means it would take her using concussive blast 20 times on cooldown in a row at level 1, having never picked up a single regen glob in order to actually run dry. Hell even napalm strike is mana neutral at +1 seconds at level 10, and mana neutral at cooldown by 13. Hammer came out at a time when all heroes had mana, aba and murky were the first two to not have it. Who knows why they didn't just completely remove it during her rework but they absolutely did something that had the same impact.

Speaking of AI, I'm looking forward to another coop brawl. Hopefully this time it manages to hit a difficulty between the two for Braxis, I never lost the easy version or won the hard version.

Kerrrrrrr posted:god i know but i ALSO WANT MORE OF THEM You definitely didn't ask, but here's my LOUD OPINIONS! If they ask about other game modes or other people you know, would you pass other feedback forward? ITT these things come up often: 1. Reconnect system (more frequent key frames / downloading them when you need them) 2. Lower rank point change when one team has an AFK for >X minutes 3. More transparent punishment system - has one of my reports resulted in something? 4. loving SHARED HEROES ACROSS REGIONS! CHRIST! 5. Bring back mega bundles. I have a friend that wants to start playing soon! 6. More in-house stats, or at least an open API! Save us from hotslogs! 7. "Nice to have" things: 1. Save "Try Mode" settings for next time. THEY USED TO HAVE THIS BUT IT DISAPPEARED  2. Malfurion "regrowth" indicator - same function as Stukov indicator, showing who has it active and which is expiring soonest 3. Raynor rework (obvs after Fenix nerfs since right now he's the only counter  )4. Allow targeting allies using portraits at top of screen 5. Allow toggle terrain vision (like Hanzo and Junkrat - wireframe that shows collision) 6. Allow Zag to exit Nydus on any direction, like Blaze bunker My personal pet thing nobody cares about : Use Map Settings / Arcade / User-created custom maps

Seconding everything Brian just said. My only suggested additions would be to remove class quests since most people just seem to want to dodge them/don't like them? Figure something else out or maybe replace dailies with weekly quests with bigger rewards to encourage more play? Also maybe further incentivize unranked draft and HL in general.

Win 3 games with only clicking abilities. Play 8 games with quick-cast off. Play 2 Games as a Tank without using your hearthstone. Play 3 games as Murky without using ink. Please forward those new quest ideas to them

John Murdoch posted:Tell them launch skin bundles are dumb. i definitely want to talk about the currency system. having three different currencies that all come in at different rates is really overly complicated. i like the system they have in For Honor - only one currency, you can buy it with money or earn it in game (at a very decent rate, too--comparable to earning ~1000g a day in HotS with just a couple dailies) shards are too rare for me, but 90% of the cosmetic stuff in the game costs shards instead of gems or gold. i can buy gems, that's fine, but i can't buy gold, and if i want to buy shards i have to buy chests first, and pray. it's a bit janky.

Not only that you have to buy chests and hope you either get shards, or something that you already have (for less shards than rolling shards would get) which is very unintuitive.

Shibawanko posted:I'm still rocking Shades Tychus as my portrait and Thumbs Up as my tag. I've been using Shades Tychus since the summer event but I'm afraid that Carbot Murky will be taking its place for now. The Adjutant announcer seems pretty disappointing from the previews tbh, it sounds like it's just the Warhead Junction announcer without any new lines but it costs 1600 shards. At least Mira Han is actual new stuff.

Yeah he's not, like, Maiev-on-release level busted, but Divert Power: Weapons seems a little too much like a no-brainer choice at that level and lets him do some pretty insane amounts of damage. I guess we'll see how it shakes out, counterplay-wise it seems like it ought to be easier to deal with him in draft than someone like Hanzo or Tracer.

I mean I still run into people taking Dragonstrike so  It also synnergizes well with the talent that gives you bonus movement speed whenever your shields are down for obvious reasons.

Yeah and you can do Divert Power + the talent that gives move speed when your shield is down + basic attacks recharge shield. So your shield is just back up pretty quick anyway and if you got in trouble from using Divert Power well just walk away. edit: Of course I've only tried him in AI because the regular queues are gigantic so maybe it sucks against real folks.

Bogart posted:For countering Fenix, try Naz or Lunara. Their poison seems to penetrate shields. Been looking at that tonight. The poison applies to the health bar, but takes from the shields. Meaning if poisoned and no other damage incoming, you'll notice the poisoned area of the health bar getting smaller while the shields disappear.
