@HeartQueen I play Reso Ying. Definitely not a troll pick for me. I select this for my entertainment, if people get mad or upset that is on them. I just want to make my selection and keep things moving.

It's still a troll pick though, and for good reason. Her Resonance talent is just garbage and her other talents are better in most situations. Life Exchange provides more burst healing while Focusing Lens provides more damage. Only time I can ever see Resonance working more than any other talent is against the burst spammers like Dredge, Bomb King, Drogoz, etc. People that will destroy your illusions anyway, so might as well damage their tank at the same time. That's the only acceptable reason to pick Resonance, other than that, the other talents are just way better.

WTF matchmking?! It happens with me all day, but I just realised not im the only one who sucks with it, even verified content creaters have matches like this.
Look at this match! Don't you think match maker system, that all of the noobs on lvl10 shouldn't be in the same team? Against lvl200+ players with cernatinly better stats from older matches. Especially against FrostFangs who is master but often beats GMs as well (even with silly loadouts).

I can't imagine any algorithm what get these 10 players as inputs and generate teams like this. Just look at the numbers! It it happens all day!
At most every 4th match has balanced teams... And the MM thread is closed.

So I was looking at a post where someone was looking for players.. I check out his profile on guru and see this shit... I mean anyone who thinks that ranked means anything is delusional.

Match-making isn't good at all. I was in Silver V while my friend was in bronze I, we played ranked together and went against a level 129 diamond Kinessa.

I get that not many people play ranked and they said they would fix it in season 3, so I don't want to harp on it too much, but in what world was a diamond against a bronze and silver player ever a good idea? "We won't put Silver and Bronze players with grandmasters." That should not have happened in the first place.

It seems like they should have strict pools. Platinum II and above in one area together. Gold V up to Platinum III together. Silver I and below all queue together. That would make for a much more balanced game experience for everyone. It's annoying that when I was in Platinum, I would have Silvers and even a Bronze on my team, yet they would put Gold players with Grandmasters/Masters.

Why? Because their counters continue to get nerfed while these two stay as strong as ever. The only counter of theirs that didn't see a nerf yet is Pip, and it's only a matter of time to be honest.

Willo. The class I main is support, so it's ironic that my overall main is Willo, the anti support. LOL. However, I liked Willo because I wanted to know how to use a damage character, and she reminded me of a butterfly, so I instantly took a liking to her. It helps that even before the buffs, she was pretty strong with blastflowers stack damage, her mobility (even when flutter wasn't as strong), and her deadzone to stop all healing.

No, you can hide from the stuns. Walls are the counter of luna just like Skye's ult. Luna does not stun you through walls unless you were still not completely behind the wall in time. Its fairly easy to avoid for backline champs and is on a 15s cooldown unlike most stuns. But in your case, Evie is hard-countered by Luna stun unless you ran wormhole.

No one complains about Jenos void grip, and his grip holds you, is auto aim, has a 12 second cooldown, or a down to a 6s cooldown with the inner peace card at 5, and can cripple you if you have the right talent. Yet Io doesn't deserve a slight buff on her stun because it's auto aim.

I'm tired of people blaming the everyone else in the match instead of the friend(s) they're queuing with. People also always blame the DPS, even when we work our asses off and get kills. Like me, Willo, and Maeve were killing and wrecking, but lost because of one of our healers and tank. I got 29 kills and 220k damage, Maeve got 25 kills and 175k damage. They kept telling me to focuse Grohk and me and Maeve WERE. Yet we lost because Seris picked Agony against Totemic Ward Grohk and Mother's Grace Inara, and our Ash was just useless. Though let everyone tell it, the healer and tank are never at fault.

Being put in games where people have either bad builds or the default build. Like they'll be a Mortal Reach Seris without the Soul Forge card. Or a Barik without Bowling Ball. They'll go Mother's Grace Inara without Geomancer. Just bad builds that aren't compatible with their talent(s) at all. Or they'll pick the wrong talent for the situation/in general. Like Grohk picking Spirit's Domain when we have 2 healers. Skyes going the healing talent.

@DaddyOoker said in November Rage Thread:

@HeartQueen Just had a SJ Maeve on my team - did good. Khan is a real PITA.

That Street Justice Maeve was going agaisnt Drogoz, Tyra, Life Exchange Ying, and Khan. It doesn't mean that they were just going after Raum. I'm talking about people picking Maeve and going Street Justice just to counter Raum. If you pick Street Justice Maeve as a counter to Raum, you're doing it wrong. Maeve isn't a counter to Raum unless there is a large skill gap, and there are way better counters to Raum than Maeve.

Need healing!!!! Okay okay, so I played Reso Ying. Enemy team had Jenos and Io. I had 1 teammate with Caut 1, the other caut 2. Meanwhile enemy team had 3 caut 3 and 2 caut 2. NEED HEALING....no futhermucker you need to buy cauterize.

End result

Ying 67k heals, 56k damage

Io 55k heals, 56k damage
Jenos 37k heals, 55k damage.

But my team needs healing.... need to allow players to mute EVERYONE, those line messages are toxic and annoying.

No... Resonance Ying as a solo healer is bad. It can't sustain a team by itself. Also, you should have gotten at least 75k healing considering that even though they had a little less healing than you, it was split between 2 people.

I've had Resonance Yings in ranked without any problems. Depends on your team and their ability. The healing number means nothing without a time to go with it. 75k in 8 minutes is good while 75k for 18 minutes is not so good. Also two front vs one makes a big difference.

Nope. Resonance Ying is usually a troll pick as a solo healer. As a tank, you barely even feel the heal. And I've personally never met a good Resonance Ying, and I've run into quite a few of them. A lot of them are idiots, hence they go Resonance, or they're trolls (loadouts where illusions have more health, illusions moving faster during shatter, etc). One Resonance Ying had 3 slots dedicated to shatter (I though the person of Resonance was NOT to shatter), one dedicated to giving illusions more health, and then dimensional link restores the illusions (the only good card in their deck). They didn't even have the card where the cooldown of illusions are reduced when the enemy kills it.

People have the perception of Resonance Yings being trolls/bad, and Resonance Ying players certainly don't help themselves there.

I've been front every time this happened. (I'm usually support or front in ranked). I usually just ask what talent the Ying plans so I can adjust accordingly. I usually use a loadout designed for more self sustain for these situations. The feeling of no heal is even worse for Jenos. The Jenos healers pocket the damage and flankers so I get next to nothing - I can rejuv till the cows come home but if I don't get a mark.... I'd rather have even a half decent Res Ying tbh.

Jenos isn't made to really pocket tanks against a bunch of damage. He's made to boost the damage of the dps. As a tank I know I need to have some form of self sustain since I won't get healed as much, until he has it on a long cool down where he can sustain up to 3 people at once. However, unlike Resonance Ying, it's providing other utility. He's damage boosting, plus Jenos can void grip mobile flanks, off tanks trying to dive the back line, and other priority picks. Something Ying can't do.

It's not as black and white as healing. Resonance just does nothing other healers can't do. As a matter of fact, it does nothing that Ying's other talents can't do better. Focusing Lens provides more damage and Life Exchange provides more healing. Therefore, Resonance is usually a troll pick.

@KicsitCsicska said in Lian nerf over Strix and Grohk?:

@Dusklicious I mean Lian

You'll have to run an off tank against her. She's made to counter flanks, but she's weak to tanks ironically. Khan, Ash, Atlas, Makoa, etc., can get her.

Strix and Kinessa also counter her because superior poke and more consistent damage. Grohk is also good against her. A Cassie with good aim can counter her.
Io is good against her. Vivian as well because Vivian has more sustain. Zhin is a flank that counters her because Billow negates auto-aim.

They just need to change smoke screen to a mobility talent (wall climb or teleport wherever she throws her smoke bomb). Nerf debilitate to compensate for increased mobility (same amount of damage, but twice as fast, instead of 25% percent more damage twice as fast). Nerf her weapon dps from 130 per shot to 100 per shot.

The rest of her kit can remain in tact. Then I would change up some talents, like 2 consecutive uses of teleport/wall climb, hidden heals for 150 per second, and keep debilitate. Then give her more cards for sustain, like life rip and damage reduction.

@schachmaty said in Champion Overview: Io:

The only thing that's really stupid about Io is the randomness of the dog stun. The dog can literally chase you down throgh the whole map, into the air, anywhere, to stun you. If I play Evie and crazily Soar around wiggling left and right, the dog will still stun me even though I'm far up in the air. You can't predict when it will stun you and how far it can chase you down. If they reworked it somehow it'd be quite nice so one could at least react before it stuns.

translations: Evie should be invincible and even more of a broken nuisance than she already is (unless you have Torvald or a good Barik).
