  • RE: Support Classes

    @iShaddo I never got on a map that worked to Zero Cool's advantage when i played as him. It was always just being burst killed as ZC has no real actual self-defense/escape aside from stuff that uses stamina.

    Team never saved me either, but i only play with random's so there's no cohesion. And heaven forbid your team splits up and its you as ZC plus one other person vs others. Sure, you can heal that single other team member but you're dying fast in the process. And if you play fringe and run away at the first sign of trouble then you're not healing as you abandon your teammate, so whats the point?

    I do agree with nerfing his beam heal to strengthen other aspects of the character though. The mini-bot is meh as is with a long cool down, shortish duration and negligible damage assistance. And his wall move is just as bad as it stands in my opinion. Doesn't last for much time, slow to position and it appears from behind him instead of in front.

    Aside from a heal beam he has nothing else to offer and it simply doesn't offset bad skills or lack there of skills. Considering he's always mounted in his hover chair, you'd think he'd be a bit faster outside of healing or have abilities which let him escape/move quicker. Even the largest tank characters have move speed options at their disposal, not to mention self heals.

    I'm sort of ok with not being able to attack and heal both but only IF his other skills actually compensate for it. Again, as is, his skill set is a joke imo. Kulev and Miko have far more functionality in overall contributing.

  • RE: Support Classes

    Who are you asking Tertalkih? And have you played Paladins or Gigantic as a Support/Healer? Granted, my fav healer/support in Gigantic was Aisling who wasn't technically a healer but i outperformed the actual healer characters most often. As for Paladins, i shouldn't have to comment on how varied and great their support characters generally are.

    And in regards to Zero Cool, is he different then the one i played on Xbox beta? Cause Nitro maneuver was near useless. Either stun-locked to where it doesn't register or out of stamina way too quickly and too often due to being the very first victim of gang violence. He has no speed nor escape abilities, being chased down way easier then any other character that have actual move skills. Constantly being the first to die and easily at that makes him utterly useless as a character to even bother playing.

    Also, at least Kulev and Miko can self-heal while dishing out dmg and being mobile so they stand a chance 1v1 or possibly holding out until help arrives. But Zero Cool gets nada. He is on his own with shit all.

  • RE: Why is healing so high?

    I think the issue is in that most classes aside from Support have their own healing capability. Whats the point of Support when virtually everyone (Except Zero Cool oddly) has their own self-healing/life drain ability?

  • RE: Too much cc in this game

    Agreed. It's an absurd level of stun locking, knockdowns and so on. Some characters can weather the storm for a few seconds but most end up instantly besieged and destroyed. Especially on a team where they don't want to group and it's always 2v4 or 1v4 as the other person dies.

  • Support Classes

    I really hope that future support characters are made a bit more thought out as Support classes can make or break a game. I personally enjoy maining Support in games, a reason i prefer Paladins instead of Over Watch, as the former has actual support classes that can heal and make a difference a match.

    Insofar as Bleeding Edge, I have no real complaints about two of the three characters introduced so far. Kulev could use a shorter cooldown on his Curse perhaps to make it more impactful but his Good Omen and Sacred Ground are pretty decent in my opinion. It'd be nice also if his Ultimate Boon effected more people or perhaps himself plus another.

    As for Miko, i haven't used her much but she seems well rounded aside from maybe needing to have stasis last half a tick longer unmoded. But the real problem lies with Zero Cool i think.

    He is an abysmal support character at the moment. Can't even heal himself in the thick of combat without unlocking a mod for a 15% self-heal. His normal move speed is tragically slow, his evade doesn't work most often with such a seeming broad hit box. Two bars of stamina with such slow recharge speed that it's pointless even if you do manage to evade the perpetual flinch-lock he ends up in with a dodge.

    The wall ability is a joke in itself and what's the point of it initially spawning behind him and not in front? It makes it take that much longer to move the wall marker, which in the heat of the moment, is a crazy expectation.

    The mini robot is so pointless with such a large cooldown timer and minor damage. And let's not forget he can't attack and heal both so he becomes the biggest soft target with no means of self-defense or support in combat(The joke of a wall doesn't even register as defense).

    Zero Cool indeed as this character is not cool at all compared to both other support characters and even the rest of the roster. And to add injury to insult, it's the recommended support while Kulev is the advanced? Kulev has way better survivibility and function currently as a consistently dead Zero Cool only supports the enemy team in the end.

    I sincerely hope they rework ZC as he's easily ganged on and wiped out. As i mentioned in another post, his heal beam has range issues as well as corners/angles obstructing it at times. And he's absolutely useless while healing. You might think that's a fair thing but he slows down while healing, has no escape/invulnerability skills and is squishy to boot. It's not even like his healing is so overpowered that it justifies all the shortcomings.

    Going forward, i hope future support characters are given the attention they deserve in balancing skills and usefulness. Support are almost always the prime targets in a situation and thus they need some chance at life.

  • RE: Beta First Impressions/Feedback

    @Cheddar-Love Zero Cool is the first to be wiped off the face of the earth and it's really very easy to do so. He has no self-protection/heals and stun-locks super easy, to where it's Zero fun to play as him. His mobility is god awful and every match i played as him i was the first to be targeted and killed in seconds. There's no saving yourself or getting away as his heal has shit range and he can do absolutely nothing else while healing someone.

    He contributes nothing as a support character in the grand scheme of things. His dmg is lame, his abilities suck with long timers and trivial overall value. He has a single beam heal that leaves him wide open and relatively close to the action.
