  1. Like holding onto a pistol to sometimes use when you fail to kill someone with your Scatterguns six shots and you decide to pistol them instead of reloading and just blasting them.

     

    Boy.... Sure is much better than a free projectile that's not too hard to hit that you can constantly spam away.

    I guess it's just personal preference, but it's not far behind the pistol.


  2. Guillotine is a free spammy projectile with a low cd.

    You can throw and forget it from a distance or at a choke, all of Scout's secondaries are good, it's just the Flying-G isn't as all around as good as the pistol.

     

    If you say the Flying-G is bad though then you're wrong, just the pistol is generally better. But hell, if you bring out the pistol to finish someone then they're probably low and will be killed by the first hit of the Flying-G possibly, so...

     

    I guess it's just personal preference really.

    What might be an interesting rework is the Ambassador no longer gets headshots but gets reverse falloff, kinda like the crossbow. Gets a damage boost at mid-long range, but gets an even heavier damage penalty in close range.

     

    Something like:

     

    Short: 35 damage

    Mid: 55 damage

    Long: 75 damage

     

    You can two-shot light classes at long range (though the drastically increased spread and removal of perfect accuracy makes this unlikely with rapid fire) but get sharply diminishing returns the closer you are to your target, making it a real shitty personal defense weapon.

    A close range Ambassador non-headshot, point blank is 51 dmg. The stock revolver being 60.

    You're calling for that do be mid range damage, atop of that, you're wanting to ramp up the long range dmg to be a nice chunky 75 with no increased accuracy requirements on the users end.

     

    I mean spread out like that, it sounds worse than it actually is. It'd better than what we got now.

    But let's be real, the people that get mad over any class in this game having ANY kind of effective long range capability are going to be mad regardless unless the rework makes it a close range weapon entirely. Valve could change it to have one shot in the chamber and a 5 second reload and people would STILL get butthurt over taking 120 damage from long range. Some people just have an irrational hatred of any engagement that doesn't begin and end at shotgun range.

     

    I'm pretty sure the issue is that the class can sneak past to the backlines to a fair distance away, and bop you for 100 hp, which screws over a lot of classes.

     

    Long range fighting in a close range game is irritating for a lot of folks simply because their class lacks any form of options for the situation and that because of that the long range options opponents have are oppressive and strong(instantly taking 100 dmg or 150+ dmg), or are just projectiles that luckily hit because they were thrown down a high traffic area(Shorch Shot, Huntsman, Sandman).

    Getting Sniper flashbacks here.

    I'm not a fan of the Sniper either.

     

    Sniper Rifle > Ambassador 90% of the time. Easier to aim with, does more dmg, etc.

     

    I'm just saying long range Ambassador headshots are dumb, no even saying to get rid of the weapon.

    A lot of people are throwing shit-fits because most of the changes are nerfs. That is not necessarily a bad thing. A weapon getting nerfed is not inherently bad.

    And the weapons, for the most part, getting nerfs, need it. A lot of the weapons getting these nerfs are still going to be viable.

     

    Sure they're not perfect changes but they say this is what they're planning with... And hell, if they're bothering to communicate with us then I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and cross my fingers for some of these changes to be a bit more refined in the actual patch, so they can continue going on with my reclaimed faith, and scrap the shit balance we've dealt with for oh too long.

     

    I just hope they go about buffing reworking the other 70 weapons in the game as well, coupled with these nerfs to the OP's. This is where I think they've messed up on their changelist, the majority of these changes are nerfs, and the few that are meant to be buffs or simple touch up(YeR) are probably not going to be enough.

    This is my problem with it. Were long-range Amby headshots really that much of a problem?

    Short answer: Yes.

    Long answer: Are you dense? Yes, obviously, yes, fuck long range Amby. YESSSSSSSSSSsssss....

    Though uh, the new downside is kinda stupid, should just be no crits from long range, or, lower damage from range.

    Not an accuracy penalty.


  6. I recently got back into playing Yu-Gi-Oh a month ago and got my ass handed to me by my friend with his pendulum, synchro's, xyz's, and turners.

    It wasn't even a quick loss, it was like an hour long and he drug it out so he could summon his strongest monsters to just thoroughly thrash me, while I simply just stalled and hoped I could get something like Black Hole. Cue me complaining about how bullshit it is he can just special summon two monsters onto the field that ignore spells/traps, and have over 2000 atk/def basically on his second turn..... Followed by him saying "just make a deck to counter it".

     

    So.

     

    I spent the next month going through his extra cards, my friends cards, buying some here and there, and Frankenstein'd a deck of powerful spells, traps, and effect monsters. No pendulum, no synchro, no xyz, no turners, not even normal fusion, just a deck of some really strong effects.

     

    I fucking decked him in three turns, any duel we've had from then on has never gotten passed six turns and I never take any damage unless I inflict it on myself.


  7. Lol Duhfourmuhzero, never change dude.

     

    Also the general direction of these changes are really good. Nerfing Ambassador, DDS, Razorback, GRU, Crit-a-Cola, Sandman... And even the much requested QoL buff for base Heavy to you're not punished for repositioning/unrevving. Fuck, we even got a Mantreads buff.

    Flying-G, and lack of Bison *fixing* is concerning however, but can any of you honestly say that this is terrible overall? They're doing the nerfs that we've much requested, doing some touch up work on even the Vita-Saw(not a good change but..), and they're communicating it ahead of time to everyone before implementing it into the game.

     

    That's pretty chill to me.

    Played both Lisa the Painful and Joyful last year.

     

     

    On a more detailed note,

    I liked how you were constantly recruiting new party members, and they're all mostly unique move-wise.

    There's like 30 I think and you're constantly switching them.

      Reveal hidden contents

    Especially because there's a chance can just fucking die.

     

    I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good RPG.

     It's a shame it kinda flew under the radar of everyone, it got a nice boom in attention after Dunkey played it, but it's still a bit underrated.

     

    It's currently the first game I've 100% completed in achievements to top it off, I've done a lot of playthroughs and with the handful of fan games + mods it's gotten I keep going back to it.


  9. Never met a non-cringy Sonic fan. 

     

    On that note, anyone here ever play LISA: the painful RPG?

     I think it's a straight up amazing game, quirky and full of some really funky

    humor. Replayed it like seven times, and enjoy it everytime.

    And I keep listening to the bomb soundtrack, some of them are really good to run to or play over other games.

    I started to play it after my cousin bothered me a lot.

     

    Didnt like it that much. Did a few matches against bots and a few on quick matchmaking, didnt felt I was having fun. Got Garren (And one skin for him) and Ashe from the boxes.

     

    It is easier than Dota, but some stuff made it just as complex.

     

    Guess I'm just that much of a casual when it comes to MOBAs. I'm having fun with HotS though.

    Worst part about LoL is that gameplay from level 1-20 is much different than levels 21-30.

    Restrictions and time sinking for runes, and XP makes an already dense game(MOBA's are not easy to get into unless you have prior experience from at least an RTS) ridiculous to get into. 

     

    The real fun is after hours of playing and getting XP up to level 30.

    I watched a video on league, a Teemo montage that I could

    barely understand what was going on but the folks playing sounded like they were having fun so...

     

    Geez, I barely understand how I started playing.

    I've gone almost a year without a GPU, but I couldn't imagine a year without a computer. Why not just buy a shitty prebuilt to get you through until you can afford a decent one?

    I have no internet.

    I work min-wage and live with a friend. By that I mean I live in my friend's room.

    Soon however I shall co-own an apartment, and hopefully there I can fix my laptop properly(the battery won't charge) and I can get internet.

     

    It's not too bad though. I have my phone.

    Hell, if you got find the right parts, you an build one for stupidly cheap

     

    Yeah, its le leddit, but it works, at least.

    My goal is to make my own PC by Christmas, thank you for the link, you are too kind.

    I pick it up once like...every year or so.  It just got way too toxic for me and I stopped paying attention after a while.

    Shame, toxicity seems to ruin it for others. It's a fun game, I can't let others ruin that.

    A friend of mine got me into it earlier this year. I still play occasionally.

    Killer; In about six months would you be down to play?

    I've found the game is infinitely better when you have a friend playing with you, or at least someone who's just down to have fun.
