Thoughts on joe fixit and Hawkeye now that the update is out

Comments

So far I can only say this: Hawkeye slow time is just soooo satisfying to do! I cannot judge more atm sadly

Tested Hawkeye out just very little. The perfect release mechanic was pretty neat, but I can already tell I'm never going to play him. Losing every single Dialed In passive when you fail one time introduces more stress than I care for in a character lol

I tried Hawkeye.

His damage seems nice, but I can't figure out the Perfect Release mechanic, at all

Messed around in ROL with my R1 6* Hawkeye. Pardon those hits taken still figuring out the slow time mechanic

Yeah noticed that too he’s kinda like civil warrior

Not really a fan of hawkeyes buff, I don't honestly know if I would call it a buff. Although joe fixits buff so far seems pretty solid, I'm liking his. Not game changing but is better than what he was before.

Well, I figured out the perfect release mechanic (at least on his SP1). Damage doesn’t seem bad, but I’m using a full synergy team. He definitely has uses, just not sure what they are yet.

Another thing to add is that I got WS down to almost no power so I started to heavy spam and couldn’t chain more than one heavy together without him doing a full combo. Not sure if my timing is off or if he just can’t heavy spam

Joe fixit’s sp2 hits pretty hard

I know I'm playing Joe Fixit super sub-optimally, but I'll R3 him just for this regen. Hot damn! I really hope they don't go back on this healing.

Seems like another Apoc->immunity bug with Joe, similar to Nebula.

I player around with Hawkeye a tiny bit, he seems really solid and the perfect release mechanic is soo cool to use

Waited for buff to make final decision, played around with Hawkeye and decided to use 6* skill rank up gem for Masacre.

StevieManWonder

Played around a little with Hawkeye and can't get the hang of the perfect release.
Fixit seems okay.
Honestly, there are no situations where I would ever use either of these guys

I don't know about Joe. But details on Hawkeye here: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/289138/hawkeye-buff-is-live-and-he-works#latest

@GrandOldKai and @StevieManWonder - advice there on how to get Slow Time.

GrandOldKai

Is Hawkeye's bleed damage supposed to appear so low?

I get that he can pause bleeds - but my r2 5* was only pulling off 57/tick on non critical bleeds?

Hammerbro_64

Go for the L2 spam for damage guys it gets nutty. L1 if you need power control or want to ramp charges faster. L3 pointless unless you want long bleed

CrimsonBadger

Joe fixit is not fun to play at all… also somehow seems worse than before.

It’s stressful trying to get the cards you want

Raganator

I don't know where I would ever use him, but bravo on the new mechanic for Hawkeye. I admitted had doubts about how it would work when released, but I like how it opens up new avenues.

CrimsonBadger

For Hawkeye, I’m just disappointed that they nerfed his power drain

This is all I can share on Joe right now, not much regarding his damage - this was my first fight

I think his heal reversal is pretty damn nice

Damn, I need to go back and test him more.

This ^

Never going to use him again, not even for simple fights. Him losing all bonuses for one mistake is just too much stress.

I don't like that I have to do extra taps, the slow time mechanic isn't slow enough and it disrupts the flow of the fight imo.

I'm not a big fan, but then again, I didn't plan to use them. This is for those who like Hawkeye or already ranked up him up. I'm happy for you guys. Maybe one day I'll join you guys with a Dr. Strange buff, if that ever comes.

Deacon

i like his buff ... he's definitely improved imo

Rockypantherx

I like Hawkeye. He isn’t gamebreaking or anything, in fact, I’m not even sure if he’s that amazing. But he is a blast to play, and to be honest, that’s the thing I think is most important about new champs and buffs. The fun champs get used more than they should because the community just enjoys them

Joe Fixit on the other hand…he has some excellent heal reversal. But the damage, from my tests, feels incredibly similar to pre buff, and his entire kit just feels so awkward to play. Maybe the dupe makes a massive difference, but playing him does my head in

FluffyPigMonster

Figuring him out. labyrinth Rulk.

He’s legit.

Summoners,

There is currently an issue affecting Hawkeye's Signature Ability that is causing the Physical Resistance reduction it provides to scale incorrectly as the ability increases in level. The team is working on a fix for this issue and is aiming to have it implemented as soon as possible.

Seems like something was wrong with his awakened ability
