Re: Solvarch Deep Dive is out

I’m not sure on the new format yet, will have to get used to it - but, one piece of feedback I wanted to share was I loved showcasing multiple rotations. Super interesting and useful to see the kit come together in different ways and against different opponents. Also loved the Quick Look as a defender too

Re: Has negasonic....

Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Spider-punk have almost same ability to stun opponents who try to intercept.. but once you parry combo them.. its a little more a nuisance than difficult to take down as a defender.. hence they are seldom seen.. in certain battleground meta they can be useful.. but in other meta.. they are not viable.. Gentle is a better Bullseye counter than NTW.

Kabam seem to make rated 5 defenders and then make a hard counter for them..

example: Onslaught can be countered by Jack O Lantern, but the better safer counter is Bastion.. now there are other newer champions that negate his attacks.

NTW can still take most skill champion so if you like her playstyle and are aware she doesn't have any immunity.. its your account so rank up who you like.. unless you like to procrastinate and wait till new champs are released.

How is Bastion a better counter? He straight up isn’t.

Jack was made to counter Onslaught, and if his crush trips you up that’s just a skill issue not an issue with Jack

Re: Wait.. Cull Obsidian can't heavy counter Zola?

And by "can't" I mean reliably or consistently.. sure with an ultra deep evade (dex at the last possible frame before being hit by it) he can sometimes clear the heavy in one dash back, but most champs in the game can do that.. it's the combination of deep evade plus good heavy reach that you need

But while not all XL champs have the reach to connect afterwards.. almost all of them can clear the heavy with one dex.. Culls dash back seems shallow for an XL I think

I think AI Recovery Time is even more broken than normal the past few days..

Today I had Attuma dex my heavy counter (to his heavy) in AW.. that's never happened before, but I wrote it off as maybe I missed the window somehow

But then I remember in practice fights Onslaught was parrying me after a successful sp1 dash in punish.. multiple times over the course of a few duels.. and thought it was odd at the time

Now this just happened in practice mode again..

Re: I think AI Recovery Time is even more broken than normal the past few days..

I think last hit of groot didn't even connected.

Which is BS because if enemy is caught in special attack why it's getting free? Dog AI.

Plus it can't be me alone who have seen the benefits of 60fps fallen? When it was first introduced it was buttery smooth, now it's back to somewhat jittery,
Better than 30fps but worse than 60, something middle.

Re: VALIANT EVENT QUEST - CHECK IN!

I didn’t mind the two paths that much. I struggled with Annihilus and almost quit there, but honestly after figuring it out, the second path is easy, just have to do it again. If you struggle with a particular boss, fighting them 6 times could get expensive—no one likes that.

Re: Stream Recap - August 1, 2025

I’m surprised they didn’t share more details about the rewards for the Act 8 crucible. I’m assuming that’s not good news.

I mean its probably gonna be another basically free r4 and maybe some titan shards and possibly a reunion crystal selector of your choice tbh.

Re: Sinister

Parry, hold heavy, until sp1. Repeat. Start with that, and it will deal with about 90% of matches. Dupe isn't needed, but is nice, especially for questing.
