Anyone else excited about Strikers?

Defenestrated

Basically, strikers are tag team champions that you can borrow specials from or you can tag the champion in during a match to extend your combo or dish out additional damage. It was in the Dev Diaries last year.

I’m honestly very excited to see strikers and wish crystals in the game. Hopefully, it’ll come out around the same time as Summer of Pain.

I am cautiously excited. We also had something called root mechanic which was used in only one side event and was not that well received. From the video that we saw of the demonstration, it seemed like switching champ for some unique utility. Let's see how it is implemented in game.

Same except part of the root mechanic was good and some bad.

Different teams. They could stop making content altogether and still have bugs come up.

Tbh I can see some of the combos being absolutely game breaking, like some of them would be downright ridiculous, especially with older champs who have abilities based on no. of buffs or hits in combo etc.

Think of any champ who can gain buffs from specials then add a champ like Gamora, who can refresh all buffs on heavies.

Or think of HT, but with sunspots L1s, which could end up placing super easy and fast incinerates on opponents.

Think of IMIW with any champ that can incinerate on special, tons of plasma potential there.

There will be some nutty combos and I can’t wait to get to experimenting, however like much of the final section of the roadmap I think it’s going to be a bit of a wait.

I don't want anything that will bring about lag or add to existing bugs. But is cool I just hope it does not weigh too much on the game.

I would not like it. it seems overly complicated and unnecessary. I like fighting just how it is

Same, there's something I love about the simplicity of the controls but how complex it can be at times. If Strikers were truly implemented, I just hope they don't add it to permanent necessary content but on optional content. They did say that they were testing it and it was stressing devices too much or something. I can already see it not working on many devices, especially considering champions like Vision Aarkus, Thing, Pyscho-Man exist which even some of the latest devices struggle on their own.

I was excited when I first heard about it, and I liked the root mechanic. Thinking about it now however, I am cautious of it and am worried about the new bugs to come with it as well as how this will work in certain game modes too

DRTO

I completely forgot about the root mechanic until I read about it on this thread lol, seems like a very distant memory I wonder if they're bringing that back ever. But yeah striker looks really cool, but probably really complicated to animate and program so hopefully when it does come out it's not full of bugs.

Guess I need to get a new device that Can powerful enough to handle this tag striker system.

onitsudry

The game will be awesome with that

I agree 100% with this. Changing/adding to the way we fight is something I don’t want to see. Release cool content and address some big QoL issues please.

DrZola

Appreciate the effort to try something fresh. Better to give it a shot, take in constructive feedback, see if it works.

Did they just drop this, or still in progress?

Keep wishing.

In a word NO

jdrum663

I would rather them fix the game.

SHIELD4AGENT

Just fix the game first.

Real_Madrid_76_2

Hopefully it will be good because most probably this year we have seen only bugs when kabam has announced or released a new feature.

GinjabredMonsta

It's gunna crash the game and then be taken back to fix for a couple months

Aomine_Daiki10

Rip old devices

Daddrieda

They were supposed to fix memory leak in this update, but guess it was too much work for them.

JhonST33

I'm not excited about but something that I really wait it's that kabam never release the relycs system. I guess Mcoc it's not that kinf of game and I'm sure that will be like boost on act 6.3, just for make the paths more frustrating without them and less like new cav SQ, where in you can carried a tag champion and be benefitted form nodes or bring another champ without any punish for don't carried those tag champs

Skiddy212

It’s new, I’m ready to try it at least

Memory leak was fixed for android. I haven't experienced any lag lately aside from the one cause by complex vfx like when fighting Aarkus

Mattstafari

I was excited but, we're kinda in that Bases "coming soon" phase.
