Strikers - New Feature Feedback Thread

Kabam Miike

Greetings Summoners,

With the Journey To the Savage Land side quest arriving today, you will get your first taste of the Strikers feature. This Quest and this first look are meant to be a test of the functionality of the feature, and your feedback is going to be very important as we continue to shape the future of Strikers.

If you have thoughts on the new feature, we would love to hear them. Please use this thread to share any feedback you might have, and please remember that this is simply a first look, and much like the changes between Root and its eventual release with Kraven, much can change.

I found them really fun. It's pretty satisfying to launch them, but one change I might make is to put the button in a different place because I keep accidentally firing specials

GroundedWisdom

Pretty awesome.

Raganator

Functionality seems pretty cool. The cynic in me fears how it will be monetized.

Not seem this mentioned anywhere but when I used striker with corvus glaive, all his hits were critical. But not so with other champs
But after glaive charges got over no hit crit

Squirrelguy

Pretty fun, and I like that they have added abilities (giving unblockable, etc) but I think there needs to be a more specified interaction with a number of champs. For instance, does the striker attack count as a special attack for all of the other champion 's abilities? Does it use up Corvus' glaive charges? Will it count as one of Prof X's special attacks for Mind Control and also add prowess in the same way?

If you finish a fight with a Striker, you do not gain the persistent charge as well.

The transition is jarring but really smooth

I like it ... the button placement needs some more thought ... sometimes it just didn't fire when pressed or it was me missing it but it wasn't seamless to fire off.

also , after the Strike is over the placement of my champ seems weird .. that whole reappearing thing was a tad wonky ... like when I reappeared, should I be blocking or attacking and am I gonna be placed right next to the defender?? it felt like there was a little hiccup there after the Strike was done.

One of the best mechanics you guys have added in years, they bring a ton of possibilities to the game, hopefully we’ll see more soon.

Super fun to fire off. Seamless transition between champs. What’s nice is so far at least it’s not necessary to use if you don’t want to.

Great implementation on the striker mechanic. Hats off to the devs on this one!

TheHeroDeserved

Its very cool! Very excited about it. My only wish is that the special button would be a bit bigger or the striker button a bit smaller. My clumsy fingers often use the striker instead of the special.

_nelynel

Think this is a really cool feature, my only opinion for now would be implementing this feature on the monthly event quest. i know this is pretty much beta test for now, not sure what the plans are for the future.. but it would have been more of an opportunity to use completing this months event quest and make it more fun.

Just a new way out of trouble

Kabaam this is best improvement in the game ever am loving it 100%. Please let's move on from here

Aomine_Daiki10

A question please for kabaam, will strikers be available on every content in the game or just specific or newer content.

I feel like the button is not accurate - maybe it's just me getting used to it, but I press it after the end of a combo and nothing happens 1/2 the time. Likewise, I've been "blocked" before it hits a couple of times - no lag on my end (that I'm aware of), just seems like the button activate box is off or something.

Personally, would like to see it not so close to the special button - it's difficult to get the exact placement of each button at times and maybe I'm landing in the middle or pressing the special button on the edge.

Another question / feedback...

If this does get implemented, will it always be a special 2? Or will you be able to choose a striker and/or their sp1 or sp2 down the road, or will the champ and the specific special always be preconfigured based on the path/event?

BuggyDClown

Button placement need some work
Otherwise it's so cool and smooth

Runavargr

Love it came in handy for sure and shall now be referred to as my new panic button

Dontsellthem

I’m ok with it never coming back. Find it pointless.

I really really really don’t like the button placement. Hit it accidentally twice and that’s exactly how many times I used it. Not going to use it on purpose ever!

I can see this being a node kind of deal.

“Will only take damage from blue specials”.

GrandOldKai

Do the strikers actually have any abilities of their own or do they just come in and Special Attack?

I briefly wondered if Striker Colossus would get any benefit from regular Colossus



Doing this is... cool, though

Aomine_Daiki10

I don't have any issue with the button placement but maybe there should be a UI interface placement so people who have issues can't switch it out with the auto play button.

KillSwitch

Extremely choppy and the buttons are way too close together. I’ve activated this feature at least 20 times by accident so far and it’s getting very annoying.

Skiddy212

Very interesting, very unique and I can appreciate how you implemented this/tested this by including in the side content.

A suggestion on how to implement it in other aspects would be potentially making for certain chapters in story or EQ going forward rather than the entire thing? More of a sprinkle of this kind of thing rather than an outright add of it for content going forward etc.

Idk if others will agree, just a suggestion. Really liked it though. felt fresh and new!

You must be fun at parties

You only get all crits if you chain the striker with basic hits. If you do a striker intercept or parry and press striker, hits are not critical

The crits from HitMonkey MlM into Striker seem to carry into Striker crits too.

ARW2000

Really fun, but the buffs seem to be tied to the defenders ability accuracy causing champs who reduce ability accuracy to not get the buffs. Seems like an attacking ability should be tied to the attackers AA and not the defenders.

StevieManWonder

So far, I'm enjoying strikers, but I would like to see the striker champ gain benefits based on synergies and current buffs. Example: if you're using Hulkbuster and currently have 2 armor buffs and have Omega Red on the team, the Striker Colossus should deal 4% more damage. Or if you're using Sunspot and have 50 Incinerates on the opponent and Ghost on the team and striker Ant-Man should deal 750% damage (I know Ant-Man isn't a Striker currently, but I would like to see him as one).
I love that the Striker gives you bonuses as well.
