Well I cannot really argue with most design alterations.

A dome shield and active movement, can be like having two walls of defence. Trying to chase through it can be a hasstle. But half shell exists so its not bad... but to have two domes on hand.... with no cd gap idk.... thats a lot of cover.

All I think about with fortify is that there is no harming or utility barriers in the game.

If a slow of sorts was applied to targets who walk though it, then barik would have some dive protection vs foes who just dash through the barrier.
By that design you could just walk upto people with a slow by deploying your shield on them and that seems like a pretty jank use for it, thus why I do not oft talk about the idea.

Another idea for shield utility, fortify amps ally damage passing through it. Therefore you can have your shield wall to amp whatever is stacked behind, allies or turrets.

I had a thought that tink could pierce through up to 1 additional target at the expense of dealing less damage after it penetrates the initial target.

Weapon attack penetration could be beneficial to apply caut, and hold a corridor vs stacking and make up for a lack of caut application from slugs.

Personally I hate weapon attack talents in their current state esp tink.

@M3RC3N4RI0 Ok Danke für die Antwort. Und du hast Recht Cauterize heißt Ausbrenner.

@Dusklicious speaking of Terminus is the best tank in game. The Answer he is not the best tank in the game Actually the main Enemy for Terminus is Simple Stun and Heavy CC champion Killed terminus.

Reality of Terminus his is to eazy to deal him even high lv terminus and A lot of Counter Bully Terminus like Andro/khan/dredge/drog What ever that counter Terminus its still not the best tank Champion. [ I know you gana say Terminus is the best way to counter Dredge/bk spamm the answer is yes but When it comes to ult Terminus his just waste ult Get killed Kraken/ stuck bomb/ drog

Main Terminus Enemy CC, Like Inara/khan/atlas etc. Without CC Simple Task don't shot his siphon its just dump People shot siphon AND DO TEAM WORK (People My ask Inara don't counter Terminus Actually you are wrong Inara is hard Counter to Terminus when it comes to team. [if your team do not team work that's problem with Terminus]

Heres why Siphon Management/Low range weapon/Muscle map memory/Shatterfall without getting Killed. ( yeah I get it siphon is broken but His is not that hard deal him especially if you team have BK/dredge)

Lv 95 Terminus [me]

I think you talking about Console. Yes Terminus on Console Is Good Deu to siphon while hitscan can't Pek Terminus foot or back or Open that shot or what ever. Im sorry Console player but I don't like you and Aim Assist is GARBAGE AND NO SKILLS REQUIRED.

@M3RC3N4RI0 I was just giving examples.. IMO viktor have only one talent like this..

@ShogunPukin said in Bring back Zhin’s Retaliation talent?:

@Dusklicious Press F for Inara..

Actually multiple supports comps are in the meta, so they have to be careful with rejuvenate unless they do somethinf change with caut/healing numbers

Ehh, Cripple Inara is alright... Only because it counters half of the meta picks at the moment and CC is too strong right now. Mother's Grace though is bad because of the Rejuv nerf, and Tremors is, well, a throw pick. Not quite as bad as Retribution Lex or Stun Damba, but still a throw pick.

True, overbuffing it would be a serious problem. Only take it to 7% or MAYBE 8%, no more. 10% like it used to be may just be broken. I mean PRE-NERF it was a must even on off-tanks.

@Carlolrac555 said in Ranked matchmaking is broken:

when you have 4 people in your party, things get easier,

Not necessarily. The larger your group is, the better are the opponents the matchmaker picks against you.

@Supervlad007 Not necessarily if Thanks Grandpa also is nerfed. He has no way to protect himself from cauterize so somewhat more heal wont safe him probably. Other tanks have similar cards.

@Shadowpuppy

skye is different, her kit is good, just got a lots of counters and not just illuminate, however 2 of her talents are of really bad design, kinda like koga's

@Shadowpuppy hehe u forgot that even when ash ults she still can be stunned or crippled or hooker which can take here away.Plus u forgot that even tho ash ults and gets Dmg imunity she still can be hitted,yeah its kinda weird but thats how it is like every shot hit at you,even at ult stops you from healing out of combat and its actually applying caut too.
I tested this out and thats how it works...
But i still hope they would give something to veteran,like a litle buff for more hp or somethinf just to make people buy this.

@Supervlad007 but killing a near death enemy by jump chase kill rinse and repeat also if you use the talent on net 30% dmg boost or jump dmg it can do extra boost on dmg

@DaddyOoker I feel the opposite, the limited amount will make it feel like it has worth... If everyone has a bunch and your just getting them left and right for playing average then the value is just nit there.

I dont plan to give them to friends unless they do something worthy of it. I would rather give it to a person that flexed to fill the tank or healer spot then just give them to people i know.

Its not like its worth money and the player base is pretty large so i dont think team players will have any issue collecting these.

@shadowchess

I'm fine with it. The price wasn't the reason I didn't get N3 before. My aim turns (more) potato when going over 20%. Depends on the champ of course. Now I can get 7% right away. I like that over having to wait - especially with some of the dog slow front lines.

@M3RC3N4RI0 said in Buck cards that need to be reworked and 1 talent:

@HeartQueen Every good flank can stomp noobs. I think they are more worried about their pro-players, than about their noobs.

I can see why. Still, Buck shouldn't be garbage. Just because someone was OP back in the day, doesn't mean they should suck now. Just find a middle ground, that's how you balance. Make flanks like flanks. They have enough damage and burst to finish off low hp targets, and the mobility to retreat.

@Demigod lol i didnt know that, that's hilarious

@M3RC3N4RI0 said in Buck headshot needs to be removed:

@Dusklicious said in Buck headshot needs to be removed:

And Buck would be dead again without headshot.

He wouldn't have nearly enough confirmable burst to be remotely functional as a flanker.

His headshot is very unreliable. I tried at shooting range and if he is not very close it's pure luck if he scores a headshot or not, no matter where you aim. If he relies on that as a flank he is dead already.

True, but yet again you kind of aren't playing the character right if you aren't engaging at close range. If he were a damage champion this would be a better argument, but he's a flank at the end of the day and flanks aren't designed to do good DPS at long range, instead doing burst at short range.

@AYYDIMITRI
I actually love the idea of her getting small buffs when her mines are destroyed it would be a pretty easy way to make her mine cards useful without overbuffing her and it would be pretty neat maybe make her mines target 2 or 3 people at base and give her mines a health card, and a heal card upon destruction like you said. even a card that lowers teleporter cooldown upon destruction would be nice
or an ult charge card upon destruction so your enemies can take out her mines at the penalty of giving her a small amount of ult charge.

@Dusklicious said in Who needs a buff and who needs a nerf in PTS?:

I think that this may be a bit of a controversial post in some regards, but I really think its necessary for me to log who I think is too strong and too weak in current PTS. Of course, I'll give a general idea of what makes them too strong/too weak, though if I went further, understand this would be an essay length post. Also this is from the perspective of a PC player using Steam. Anyways:

(Nerf) Damba: GOURD. HEALS. ARE. DISGUSTING. They need to be nerfed WAY down. I mean 600 healing per second is absurd, especially with the nerfed caut.
(Nerf) Maeve: Her burst is too confirmable and consistent, and she has way too good of sustained damage for a flank. Why they buffed her in PTS is beyond me.
(Nerf) Lian: Pretty much same story as Maeve, except Lian's a damage. Nerf Eminince builds, and the Presence CDR card. Like EVERYONE's asked for HOW long?
(Nerf) Torvald: I mean they did indirectly nerf him in the recent update of the PTS, but Thanks, Grandpa is too strong, and some of his shield cards are too good also.
(Nerf) Strix: Okay, they already nerfed him.. But... IT. WASN'T. ENOUGH. his Talon Rifle still two-shots most of the champions in the game.
(Nerf) Ying: They did nerf her deployable heals, which is good, but her illusions are too strong with current Dozer. Buff Dozer and she'll be fine.
(Nerf) Barik: He seems like he has a little too much sustain on PTS. Though Dozer and Wrecker buffs are enough to fix that issue.

Damba's heals didn't need a buff. He already healed well enough if you knew what you were doing. They just wanted to make him more noob friendly.

Maeve Lian and Strix are victims of Hi-Rez dancing around the issue. They do this with other characters. Instead of changing what needs to be changed, they'll find another problem. Strix just needs UU cut in half and the Grover treatment (1000/1500 damage up close and 1200/1800 damage at range). Maeve just needs a Cat Burglar nerf and to have the artful dodger (but also cleanses all status effects). It's easy to balance these 2, no idea why they won't. Lian is a bit harder. Her only utility is burst, nothing else. If you take away her burst, she'll have nothing. The best thing they can do is take away the damage of grace and make it a strict movement ability, buff her base damage to 450 per shot, give Valor a knockback or stun (and buff her damage to 500), and take away the 4 second cooldown from her eminence).

Torvald is hard to balance unless they change his kit. He's too team reliant. If he gives barely anything to his teammates, why pick him? If he gives too much to his teammates, then he's broken. Make him less reliant on his team and tone down his synergy. Damage buff, speed buffing, and shielding is okay. Though they should be minor bonuses, not a major part of his kit. Kind of like Khan's ability to heal his allies is a minor bonus, not the main part.

Ying needs a buff to her base heals, and a nerf to Life Exchange. Barik needs Tinkering back, but just nerf it to a flat 500.

(Buff) Khan: He is pretty much useless on PTS. They totally gutted him... He needs some of his DPS back, and he really needs a buff to Battle Shout and his shield.
(Buff) Sha'Lin: What were they thinking with this rework? They nerfed his DPS (and DIDN'T actually buff his mobility) massively... Give some back.
(Buff) Ash: She has a similar story to Khan. She got gutted... Most of her changes need to be reverted. But nerf her Flak AoE. THAT'S the ONLY nerf she maybe needed.

Ash was a random nerf. No one really complained about her. It just seemed random. Khan just needed his storm of bullets nerfed, not his dps. His base dps actually sucks to be honest. Maybe his self heal nerfed to 750 for the caut nerfs. Sha'Lin just hasn't been right for a while.

(Buff) Grohk: He's sucked for so long, and they did nothing to fix that in PTS. Ghost Walk is almost useless, his heals still suck...
(Buff) Tyra: Make her more than a worse Vivian with tank shred. She actually got nerfed, and I have no idea why. She's not even any good on Live...
(Buff) Lex: All the other flanks got buffed, but Lex and Talus got excluded... Make his Q more than a wasted ability slot, make his talents better... Something.
(Buff) Willo: Honestly, it pains me to say this, but Willo is worse in most ways over other blasters. She needs more damage, she's bad on PTS...

EDIT: Removed a couple of buff suggestions for the sake of even-ness.

Grohk needs a nerfed Spirit's Domain in his base kit and to bring Wraith back. Tyra was a tank shredder, but she was easy to deal with. Bad poke compared to other damages and a sitting duck to flanks. Lex is just a pseudo damage now. We can thank PC gamers for this. Willo just needed a nerf to her deadzone (90% caut, and countered by card loadouts and rejuvenate). That's it.
