I think this is more of a problem for Battle Ground, where you instantly need to remember the ability of champions.

Re: Sable disorient doesn’t stop Void debuffs?
Okay, let me try to summarize this in a clear way.
Disorient is Defensive Ability Accuracy Reduction - it only reduces AA when the victim is being struck. In most cases, this means it affects abilities that would trigger when the victim is struck. Void’s debuffs are not an on-hit trigger, they’re just on a timer, so disorient won’t cause them to fail normally.
HOWEVER - the fiddly details of how AA is actually calculated means that if you strike your opponent on the exact frame(s) they would trigger a time-based ability, like void’s debuffs or Medusa’s furies, the AA is applied and the ability can/will fail. Essentially, disorient doesn’t reduce the AA of specifically defined “defensive abilities,” it just reduces the opponent’s AA in general, but ONLY when they are being struck.
This is not a reliable way to shut down these timer-based abilities, because the timing is so tight you basically only ever manage it by accident.

Re: Do you like the new Deep Dive Format?
The old one just works way better, we get to see champ's abilities first, so the rotations just easier to understand. The new one explains barely nothing and go straight to rotations, feel like jumping into middle of a mess and have to figure out everything by yourselfs

I think this is more of a problem for Battle Ground, where you instantly need to remember the ability of champions.That's a good point. I have found myself scrambling to pull up aunt mai with 10 seconds left on the clock to see a defender's immunites.
Re: Last token for selector
Yes I made it but didn't received any response from kabam so I just tried to put it here to see if they can give a responseHonestly man, you should've just managed your time and communicated better. You threw away 29 other people's hardwork and effort, it makes sense why you were kicked.
Re: Cassandra Nova - what CAN'T she do?
Jesus christ TALK ABOUT OVERTUNED. What was the need of giving her all those abilities.Lol just think about it. She's the dark side of Charles Xavier. I hope we're getting his yellow hover chair version too.
Re: Cassandra Nova - what CAN'T she do?
Good. I'm waiting for this lolShe looks like she's going to be the next chase champ for sure.Looks like her Marked passive is just against skill champs, so CMM will still be able to ramp fast and destroy her
Kabam made sure my neuroshock eating boo CMM will struggle to go Indestructible with Cassie Nova's "Marked" ability, which is sooooo messed up. 🤬😭 Why? Just why?
It's all good though. 😂
Re: I've reached mental capacity for champions (and what that can mean for the game going forward)
I'm in the same boat, at this point the ban button has been my only saving grace. But since Kabam is so keen on releasing absurd defenders every month, the ban button can only do so much

Re: I've reached mental capacity for champions (and what that can mean for the game going forward)
While I think this continued expansion of the sheer amount of nodes and champion kits people have to learn or memorize will turn off new players, as a veteran player myself, I personally have yet to be negatively affected.
It may be harder to understand everything about certain champions, and I do find myself having to check kits occasionally; this doesn't upset me. I enjoy the planning and scouring to find the right champ for the job.

Re: I've reached mental capacity for champions (and what that can mean for the game going forward)
As somebody who has had a very bad memory my entire life, I haven't been able to remember half the champs abilities for at least a couple years now.
The champs are only getting more and more complicated and I'm already to the point where I just watch a couple videos about them, learn their basic rotation and go with that.
I don't remember half the abilities so it does screw me up in bg's alot, and down the road may affect it even moreso than it already does.
I'm not getting any younger and not gonna spend hours learning how to effectively use every single champ I use, their ideal rotations for each matchup, who they're good and terrible against, and every other intricacy of kits.
I go in, punch things and hope for the best.
