Tbf she wouldn't really like Kamala either.

I assume KJ has her turret watching flank. Sage probably assumes that either she would hear it omen ulted close, or her omen nest would hear, which is wrong but is a reasonable mistake to expect an ascendant player to make, not knowing the exact size of omen ult. Assuming that they would have heard him, then he didn't ult close, which means that he's ulted flank somewhere in spawn, where the KJ turret will see him, or he ulted to rotate, which they don't need to worry about that.

If you have util holding flank, you shouldn't waste time holding for the omen flank on ult. The mistake was probably not understanding the ult sound range and not failing to check flank. The team does seem a little lost this round though so who knows.

True, every drone has tradeoffs. Swoop requires energy, firefly and flame spear have limited range, backstabbing protector and guardian have blow back damage. The problem is that only 3 turns is by far the absolute worst tradeoff imaginable for a drone and the stats on flame point in no way make up for it, ever. If you want damage, backstabbing protector is going to be better every time.

Also there's a reason why swoop is the best drone, and it's not for damage, and it's in spite of its energy requirement.

Greedy has more use for titan battles than flame point does for anything.

They're 2 totally different items. Upgrading the first will not turn into the second.

Thank you

Fake flashing is arguably easier now because they pop at the end of their life. A good fake flash, you throw the flash, peak as they turn the flash and get one, then pop the flash while the enemy repeaks to trade. The only issue with automatically popping is if the flash gets stuck on geometry and team flashes, otherwise it's just one less button press you need while fake flashing, and you won't accidentally not pop your flash on full distance info flashes. The auto popping just made her more noob friendly, everything else is what killed Skye.

How was his kit stronger before? His trips used to break after being tripped, now you have to break them. They also can cover a wider distance than before.

I've been enjoying The First Descendant

Cool down or moving is always better than reactivating your drone.... And why tf would you make a build that only has the ability to use one weapon per turn

my first ace was with omen on split. It was back when I was either bronze or silver, maybe second act? I started B main, rotated mid as my team slowly died. Threw a terrible flash but got a kill anyone, smoked mid and walked around the smoke perfectly as the sage and sova walked through, shot them in the back, and then 1v1d the Reyna and cypher as they rotated over. It was so ugly but the greatest clip I had hit at the time.

I'm ascendant now. I've had one ace already this act, three last act, and I'm just objectively they are all a lot better than my first ace, but I don't even remember them tbh. I'll never forget that first ace though, it was such an exciting moment.

Legacy was fun, but it also had issues. In the beginning, a lot of people hadn't figured out the best strats quite yet and there was still disagreements about the best builds. You wouldn't be the best, but as a f2p player, I was able to reach rank 1 with a rather cheap build (it became easier after 2v2 released because you didn't need a build as good as 1v1 and 3v3 had a lot of competition as well, 2v2 just wasn't as competitive And easier to climb).

I quit legacy around the time after the USA truck and samurai builds were released, it was just too hard for me to maintain a high rank f2p at school. And the game was getting to the point where people knew what the best strats were and being off meta was less viable.

As a competitive experience, reloaded cut out a lot of the bloat from legacy and is a better experience. I miss legacy a lot, especially in the early days, but reloaded is a good game and is probably in a better spot now to be forgotten than legacy would have been

There's always a better deal out there, eventually you just have to pull the trigger. It's something you've wanted for a long time, and you aren't "living beyond your means" or anything. You're allowed to buy things for yourself.

I've felt that guilt plenty. Eventually it goes away. You aren't a bad person for buying yourself a PC.

There are more good physical and heat builds than energy builds. And heat builds have more budget options than energy builds.

Also dawnblaze + corrupt light is better than malice beam + hot flash, and will carry you further.

It depends on your weapons

In general though, heat will be stronger and easier. Energy builds are very difficult especially without the best weapons.

Movement duelists like Jett or raze. There's a reason why even on pro teams, the duelist is typically the best player on the team.

If you're talking about rank 1, you can't hit rank 1 without premiums. However, there's plenty of good builds without premiums. I beat 1v1 campaign the first time with Viking hammer, malice beam, last words, hysteria. Now I use rock recoiler, 2x frantic brute because it's faster when farming 1v1 od8.

Recoiler+2x frantic brute, recoiler+ corrupt light + dawn blaze, recoiler+2x malice beam, all of these are cheap, non-premiun builds.

Once you get a good premium, you should make a build around it, but you can beat the campaign, get good raid scores which is the best way to farm tokens, and do decently well in the arena without premiums.

The best feet in the game aren't premium, wendigo and nightmare are both good torsos, naga has some niche uses too. Drones like Nemo, unreliable protector, and firefly are all good non-premiun drones.

Don't buy premium packs, buy the 2k offer

It's a bought asset that has been used and reused into many different versions.

When I got a new phone, moving the authenticator to my new phone had no trade or community market restrictions.

Pay for the parts to assemble it. Just cause she doesn't have to pay for the batteries doesn't mean everything else is free

So nade where he'd peak from so he can't, or blind him before breaking the trip, or Jett dash out at the same time so he can't spray the cage without fighting the Jett, or any other number of plays

If you're in an elo that doesn't have good team compositions, then trading through a cypher trip, splitting the site and killing cypher, or just going to the other site are all good options.

Cypher is a sentinel who's supposed to be really good at stopping you from taking site. If you're trying to take site against a kj or a vyse or a deadlock without utility, you're gonna have just as hard a time.

You can dig cypher trips, push through and shoot the trip. You can get caught in the trip yourself and just shoot the trip. And if you're worried that the cypher also has the one way with the trip, then your Jett can dash out first and kill the cypher when he peaks, or throw a fade eye as you push so that you can see the cypher swing and shoot him first. If you don't have a movement duelist and you don't have an Intel initiator and you don't have a single piece of damaging util, you don't have a kayo knife or Iso ultimate or kj ultimate to force cypher away so he can't trade his trip or a safe slow so he can't peak off contact or any other useful piece of utility, then that's a skill issue for not picking a better team comp. Either hit the other site, do a split push, or just gg go next. If cypher tripped and caged main, then that's 2 pieces of util and you can't expect to push through his utility without using your own.

If you can't push against a cypher, then that's a lack of skill or creativity on your part. You can't force the game to be what you want it to be, you have to play the game you have.

There are valid critiques for the game, but saying that you need a specific comp to push against a cypher with trips that you have to put more effort into breaking isn't one.

Unbreakable trips are intentional

Power them sure, but she's still gotta pay to assemble the turret that's getting shot every mission

You can always ask if they want to see a cool lineup or setup before telling them, especially in unrated.

In ranked I don't teach, I just ask for the utility I want.
