You say ultimates should be game changers ? Well Evie's ulti is not it is too weak. Lets compare it with Tyra's "Fire Bomb" which actually better version of Evie's ulti.
It slows

Fire bomb does NOT slow. One can simply walk out of it.

Yet you calling this ulti op ?

No. I call the fact that she can spam her ult OP. Even Buck ult would be OP if he could do it every 20 seconds.

Evie gets %6 ulti charge with a DIRECT HIT which means she can recharge her ulti at 17 seconds theorically (with only hits disregarding passive charge). 10 seconds you say ? Maybe you forgot to add you were using Lvl 3 Moral Boost ?

Maybe you forgot she only needs 50% charge to ult with snow globe?

This topic should be deleted. Because it is obvious owner is quite biased aganist Evie. Doesnt want to admit that he was bested by a better player. This topic is not constructive.

If the Talent is that shitty as you explained so eloquently shouldn't you be glad if it is removed?

Also from my point of view 90% of people complaining about a character in every game is people than dont want to admit that they got outskilled/outsmarted, probably the case in this thread

From my point of view 95% of people who get personal in a balancing discussion are fanboys of said champion. The Evie did what TangAce described.

I only use it against champs like maeve to just focus on them whole game long cause I hate this champ

Question is, if the idea of an ult is to bully another champ by constantly ulting them. Or if this is described well as "outsmart".

Aimbots still are in the match. I just encountered one. NA server btw. Before the match someone already said: "Oh not this guy, he uses aimbot"; and indeed, he has 100% headshots with Tyra. Surprisingly ineffective judged by the stats in the end. Either a noob or he was holding back so it's not too obvious.

I will watch his account at Guru and see how long it takes till he gets banned.

PS
Ranked winrates at Guru:

Viktor: 93%
Tyra: 92%
Lex: 76%
Seris: 38%

Making Jenos more fun is easy. Remove Luminary. Give him more damage an not his teammates.

Old Raeve Maeve music was great.

@TangAce said in Are groups prioritized in matchmaking?:

does anyone notice the problem here?

I do notice it, since I am stuck at Platin for a few hundred games now.

Very interesting. It wasn't like that when I played with groups a while ago last season. The opponents of the group were much harder than as a solo player. The bigger the group the worse. I will try this out how it is now, since I want the Diamond frame for season 2.

I was surprised, when I watched Mr. Haze a while ago (pro player and world champion) how he played ranked solo (streaming) and had a winrate of maybe 60-70% only (on Platin rank). Could have been a coincidence but it seems it's not.

@DaddyOoker said in Are groups prioritized in matchmaking?:

It's logical that duo+ win rate is better. You remove the risk of a moron player by 25% for each additional member in your party.

No it's not, because the matchmaker compensates against groups (at least it did once). So a group with 5 Platin players is (or was) put against Diamond solo players. Otherwise a group of 5 would almost always win against 5 solo players of the same ELO. Not only because of no Trolls/AFK but also because in the group everyone can play his strongest class. In a 5 players group I was always tank (or healer) while in a 5 solo player team I often had to play damage/flank.

Just checked at shooting range. With Snow globe Evie can ult twice when fully charged and reload her ult in 10 seconds (if she hits every shot). No wonder it's no fun to play against this (at least not with a champ who relies on movement skills). Also no wonder it's Evie's Talent with the highest winrate.

An ult is a game changing powerful attack, a strategic weapon, and nothing one should be able to spam. This should be removed.

@TangAce said in Are groups prioritized in matchmaking?:

I don't think so, but it also depends the lvl of the players anyway, however groups of 2 have easier matches than solo players, that i am sure of

That was also my impression. When I changed from solo to random 2-player-group my winrate changed from 55% to maybe 70-80%. A well attuned team with team-speak is probably even better off.

@mad-percolator Not that much. All mortal reach offers is a small healing boost (10% or so) and a range boost Seris doesn't really need. Of course if she could act during healing she would have to be balanced anew.

@Gao-Shun said in There is no incentive to play as a team nor is there a penalty for not playing as a team:

@M3RC3N4RI0 sadly FL & Supp are being nerfed so they can't be played outside of their roles

A wrong decision in my opinion.

Do groups of 2 players get their matches much faster than single players?
