Kleese is so awesome for carrying a team. So far Rayna is for aggressive frontline commissar playstyle, while Kleese is more of a backline general. Taking out whole enemy team with a black hole is hard but truly priceless.
They're also dropping the price significantly. Geeze
overwatch release most likely
Finally got Worthy of Song, after having so many games with only 23 or 24 kills. And I got it with Boldur, of all characters. Christ is he a truck. Carried the shit out of my team. [editline]23rd May 2016[/editline] Also, I just got a 1.5GB update, anyone else? [editline]23rd May 2016[/editline] Yup, its the new update, a day early actually. The only thing we didn't know beforehand that was changed was [i]more Ambra nerfs[/i]. Good lord, that poor character.
How to win as Kleese: spawn Black Hole [B]behind[/B] your enemies. It's so dumb and obvious yet almost every players (even lvl100 guys) fall for it.
Aw yis I did it. [img]http://puu.sh/p317q/2f75165a2d.jpg[/img]

He singlehandedly carried his team to victory. I never knew a geezer in a hoverchair could be so tanky or deal that much damage.

BUT only if the team knows what they can do. Most people don't get how "Not a Healing Chair" works or literally think big hitbox = tanky (died so many times by teammates blocking me). His power comes from regenerating shields and finishing people off with shock taser. Use wrist cannon for minions.

Yeah, a good Kleese is insane, but a coordinated team can bully him pretty easily. It's all about being able to kill his Rifts and attack him constantly. If you can't be aggressive early against Kleese, you're in for a real uphill battle.
So Alani is crazy fun, 3 matches so far of meltdown with 30+ points and no deaths, all games won.
Yeah, Alani looks super fun to play. I love delayed AOE attacks (Orendi main plug), so she'll be a hoot.
Fuck Alani and everyone who takes her. Literally Galilea 2.0
[QUOTE=Hammer7;50385763]Fuck Alani and everyone who takes her. Literally Galilea 2.0[/QUOTE] Only because she's new, give it a while and the hype will die off
[QUOTE=MadBomber;50386258]Only because she's new, give it a while and the hype will die off[/QUOTE] Problem is that she seems to be OP in the right hands. I mean, you see an enemy at 5% hp, you consider your location and pursue them to finish them off, but hey, 2 seconds later you see them again with 90% hp and [del]Anali[/del] Alani is nearby, oh gee, what just happen?
[QUOTE=MadBomber;50386258]Only because she's new, give it a while and the hype will die off[/QUOTE] All her skills have CC, her burst heal goes up to 1k after level 7 and she's almost Montana tier tanky. While the only downside is no natural speed buffs... till you hit lvl3 and take Go With The Flow and just spam Riptide. She's not ~slightly~ op like it can be with all new characters. She's best support and best control at the same time. Seems almost gamebreaking. And yes, watching somebody going from 2% hp to ~90% from a simple secondary skill just kills all the fun.
I think I must be a terrible person for considering her as a main then :v: The largest single heal burst I've gotten off so far was 1.6k

Ambra is just really good at being a toolbox; she's good at doing a few roles at once, nothing particularly really good however. Just a general good support if you don't have any particular synergies. [editline]25th May 2016[/editline] However all that goes out the window with Alani just being fucking overpowered. Great.
Man... Attikus is true underrated gem. Attack speed + HP regen gear makes him so disgustingly strong.
[QUOTE=Hammer7;50386589]And yes, watching somebody going from 2% hp to ~90% from a simple secondary skill just kills all the fun.[/QUOTE]Same can be said about Miko. Watching your enemies health constantly rise as you're trying to off them just kills all the fun too.
[QUOTE=PopSkimo;50394372]Same can be said about Miko. Watching your enemies health constantly rise as you're trying to off them just kills all the fun too.[/QUOTE] Just kill the Miko. If you can do that, then the rest comes easy enough. Although one thing I've noticed in all my games is that if a team without a support goes against a team with a support (Ambra, Kleeze, Miko, Reyna, and OP Water Girl) they are at a huge disadvantage. Its absolutely insane.
Getting really bored of losing every game with the same "E-SPORTS" enemy team - Alani, Caldarius, Deande, Thorn/OM and Ghalt. [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/447359296967002625/78C1F30ED847F27541B7A4F9F46ABBA072E59C6A/[/t]

Jack of all trades, but inferior in a lot of them. Lacking HP, reach, damage. Her ult is even lackluster: it has a rooted windup. I don't think any other buttborn has this for their ults. Cast time, sure, but being rooted? And it leaves them open both before and after the ult? Where your stunned targets can just walk away while you're still recovering and in the wide open? I hate playing melee because of the effects clusterfuckery, but even I know Deande is a pretty poor choice for assassins. She can cloak, that's the only real advantage in any situation, which lets her go around undetected, but without someone to point out who needs picking off, its often used as an escape, not as an engagement.
Wow...the game hasn't even out a month and it's already 40% off on Steam.
[QUOTE=nightlord;50397454]Wow...the game hasn't even out a month and it's already 40% off on Steam.[/QUOTE] It's getting a permanent price drop afaik.
I would've appreciated it if the season pass was also 40% off. There is no way I'm purchasing that for $20.
Can now confirm after having enough games with Alani in them: she's fucking Galilea-styled overpowered. Yeah, give a support an insane amount of survivability (which they removed from Miko for a reason) and enough CC to make old Galilea blush, with the best heal in the game. What the fuck were they thinking. I don't even want to play the game anymore its so miserable to play against an Alani.
I just play Reyna and literally drive my team into unstoppable anger towards enemy Alani. Priority Target with slow works like a charm.
I love Reyna and her massive ass and goofy run, but holy shit that overshield skill can be annoying if you're in a scuffle and need an ally to charge onto. If you miss, the skill resets and you're left high and dry until you can finally connect to someone or die. It makes me the unhappiest camper since Unhappy McCamperton.
So far this game is really fun but it would be nice to have a little more optimization. I can run overwatch at almost high around 60fps at 1080p this game i have to play at 900p and almost all low settings just to get 30-45fps. I think the main problem is the amount of particles in game.
