Boz0r posted:Is the Probe dude any good/fun? I like playing Zagara, and it seems similar. Probius doesn't have much in common with Zagara beyond plopping junk on the map and pushing lanes, but their skills are very different. It can be fun if you like the shock combo, but is hard to get results with and has some lame talents. It can push a lane like crazy if left alone, though. I'd maybe say that in terms of play style it's more like Chromie with much shorter range, but nobody is really that similar to Probius.

Valeera was okay for a stealth character. I'm not personally a fan of the unrevealable mechanic and would have gone after that before hitting her damage, but eh. The real dumb stealth character who needs to be sent back to the drawing board is Nova since the only thing she really has is damage, and she needs more to her than just that.

frakeaing HAMSTER DANCE posted:I played a lot of Nova in beta, and back then her deal was she could absolutely devastate individuals, but the tradeoff was that she had no laning ability and no ability to hold objectives. Did this change, because I constantly see pubby Novas trying to do both of those things. Well now she can't really take out inidividuals, so that just leaves the other two. Nova is not a well thought out character.

The way to play around stealth characters when strong detection isn't an option is typically more passive which is boring and lame and something games generally try to avoid. Plus the actual hard counters tend to render stealth characters nearly useless because of how much they sacrifice to have it (see Sombra and Nova). Basically it's debatable whether stealth is worthwhile as a mechanic in the first place, and it definitely needs more thought when it is added than it is typically given. chumbler fucked around with this message at 17:39 on May 1, 2017 |

AttackBacon posted:Honestly this (with my slight edit). I think a large part of the appeal of these games is how they distill down basic game tropes. Every game I can execute a different "power fantasy", with the standard rpg progression loop compressed down to about half an hour. I get to make build choices, progress my character, and optimize my own gameplay. It's just an inconvenient fact that I have to do it in the framework of a 5v5 competitive game instead of something like a hero defense. Why no one has executed a proper PvE mode in these games is an absolute mystery to me and I suspect it would be wildly popular. The few data points I have seen in LoL and HotS have the vsAi game modes being extremely populated, even if you adjust for leveling bots. Warcraft 3 back in the day had tons of (usually bad) rpg maps that were more or less like that. I can't think of any games that have tried to do that besides like Left 4 Dead, though. As you say, it certainly seems like there'd be a market for FARTS mechanics in that sort of format.

Some of the non-crossover skins are alright, but I still wish there were franchise crossover skins for every hero. They've generally been good, though I think Novazon's ults still don't fit the theme.

My Gimmick Name posted:Last Stand for Dawn of War was pretty dang popular. From what I understand it was a small PvE moba. I totally forgot about that, but yeah that was a decent example. I think the way around having a pve version that is more or less solved would be having characters with a lot more build variety and an AI director of some sort to introduce some unpredictability. You wouldn't want to do just a circular arena or lane defense with the same waves every time. I'd see it more as a 30 minute dungeon crawl type of thing with a very accelerated leveling curve, and the boss being something like Cho'Gall or a team of heroes. So basically just co-op speed Diablo.

Someone tell me how to Alarak. I enjoy playing him, but I have trouble getting any results from him. Like he seems like he can sort of be treated like Thrall maybe, but I can't find that right mix.

What did Andariel do? I remember a poison fan and a single target poison that hurt. Also there's no way they'd make Andariel without a major redesign. Cydaea I think was on the list, though. Adria from the D3 expansion also had a cool body horrorish design, and Urzael as an artillery mage would be cool and release more Diablo characters is my point here.

Be careful with Valla, as saying she has a glass jaw would be insulting to glass. I want to say she's like third lowest health in the game not counting Murky/TLV.

Insert name here posted:Buying and playing Sgt. Hammer when my most played hero is Raynor at 7 games back in HotS1.0 was probably not the wisest move to starting off but man it's all worth it when you get that perfect siege positioning and timing to finish like 3 or 4 enemy heroes as they try to escape If you find Hammer satisfying, get Chromie instead of Probius. Nothing better than landing the long range snipes.

I was playing Morales last night and found myself wishing she had some sort of pushing or sieging ability, like a talent to make her grenade leave a gas trail or something. I recall someone said she's on the update list, so I'm hoping they diversify her a bit more rather than just better defensive stuff. Just something to feel like you have a little more control over the match. Also I need to pick the bus more. It's fun when it works, and the other ult often gets wasted anyway. chumbler fucked around with this message at 19:44 on May 5, 2017 |

Yeah the "Nobody plays support because they want MLG pro kda" argument is usually not true. Nobody wants to play support because it means losing a ton of ability to influence the outcome of the game due to how narrowly supports are typically made.

Coolness Averted posted:I like the idea of different support characters having different niches, which for some is "strong heals and damage mitigation, but little other contribution" The whole "Make them all Tyrande or Tassadar" school of thought would make me stop playing support. I'll also admit I never play Morales unless I'm in enough of a stack that I know I'm not going to be soloing a lane. When we say they don't influence the game it is meant in a very direct sense. Obviously healing influences a fight, but it's not really control in any way. There is very little a Morales can do to directly affect what is happening in the game like clearing minion waves or mercs, and she contributes near zero damage or ability to reveal (outside of a talent). That being said, Morales is basically the worst case example for this and was a dumb idea, which they seem to recognize. The rest of the supports aren't in her position, and the double or triple support team is a somewhat unrelated issue. Long story short, dedicated or close to it healers are always a bad idea and should never be added to games.

D.Va looks cool and it would be cool if they ported at least big shot to Overwatch. That being said, on paper big shot looks like the weaker of the two since it seems like you'd spend more time in the mech, but maybe it'll have high damage, who knows.

exquisite tea posted:Just a few games screwing around with D.Va but Bunny Hop is really good and combined with her D-Matrix talents that increase duration + give it a slowing effect she is basically impossible to retreat from. I've been trying to think of times you wouldn't want bunny hop and about all I've got is big shot might be better for mines, hanamura, and maaaaybe spider queen. Big mobile aoe slow and damage is just too valuable compared to faster mech cooldown, unless big shot's damage is really high.
