her kit feels undercooked, you have a primary that has fall off, travel time, and needs to be reloaded. Her damaging abilities takes years to refresh only for it to do subpar damage And the only form of self sustain is movement speed increase with a 15 sec cooldown that is contesting with her team buff.
i think Storm should be Stratagist.. most of her utility supports her allies, and her attacks herself are not that strong. She doesnt "Duel".. she flies, picks people off, and supports her team with buffs. I think to fix this, is to give her a new mode, "icestorm" mode, where it does little damage to enemies inside of it, but heals allies slightly. not alot, but enough to justify calling her a stratagist. She would be the perfect mix between a Duelist and a Strategist. Strom's secondary fire should switch based on what mode she's using. if she is using storm mode, then the hitscan electric attack is fine (but better damage would be nice). but in wind mode, maybe throw own tony whirlwinds that do little damage, but traps enemies in their path that travel randomly. and make the ice variation would be a damaging blast that drastically slows the enemy for 3 seconds.
No. Honestly its a good thing that they are releasing with a character like Storm in the roster because they are finally breaking the mold of the stereotypical "dps" role. Allow non healing characters to also be able to support their team while the supports SUPPORT instead of only healing. Its why so many of the strategists in this game do good dmg as well as heals. They arent healers. Rivals is not your stereotypical hero shooter. Its finally doing some stuff different and its good to see.
Big disagree, I consistently get 30/4/30 games with storm- she can has time and time again won us games for our team by just being on point. I've defended the point with nobody but myself and a healer before- facing off against like a punisher, moon knight, iron man, and psylocke. If you're not able to be successful as her as a dps, that's a skill issue, not storms. (Also? I think a good third of my kills are because of the lightning strikes? Her right click lightning is a great finisher for enemies running away, and her storm lightning consistently just gives me free kills.)
Adam warlocks attack does more damage than storms and she's slow with no evasion. Doesn't get criticals with head shots. She's terrible for a omega level mutant
I feel like not enough people know this but the website list every stat and detail of a heroes ability. dont know why they dont just do it in game but its out there
Storm is probably the character I want to play the most, but I have a really hard time with her. I'm hoping your thoughts on how to use her will help me with that.
??? But she fills that niche really well, and is fairly well balanced? The balance suggestions I've seen have just been like- slightly buffing her wind blades. Do you have any actual reasons why she's not good? BC that's not an actual reason-
Ive heard alot that storms damage isnt great for self reliance - and yes? Kind of? Ive been able to sometimes solo points, but not consistently. That being said is that not a good thing? It forces storm to play around her team, and isnt that the point?
One thing about Storm, (maybe Iron Man too), flight should be a toggle that you can activate when you want it. You get free free flight, even a glide passive, but aiming and trying to fly is awkward af, especially on controller. I'd like Storm to have some ice/hail ability too, maybe one day...
She’s a A tier character you’re always gonna be yelled at for picking cause most her value doesn’t show up on the score board The damage boost is 15% compared to overwatch mercy’s 30%(not too long ago was 25%) that’s still a ton but counting in you’re still shooting and this applies to your whole team the damage boost is insane. If you don’t know mercy is played almost exclusively for the 30% on a singular person so you can probably get to a decently high rank just standing in the center of your team. But also weirdly enough storm is a turret character it’s just she is the turret. The number one tip I have for storm is save the amp for when an enemy is in the radius, the damage ticks on enemy squishy can easily do half their health combined with your primary fire you can melt the enemy. The slow can be useful but most the time being a turret gets way more value and builds your ult faster. The ult is one of the best in the game. It’s a reaper death blossom that gives you a 600hp shield instead of lifesteal, pulls in enemies, you move FASTER then the enemies, and you can teleport anywhere on the map before you activate it. Most your time on storm is just farming it as fast as possible. It’s a free kill/team wipe every time unless they have luna/mantis ult or you activate it in front of a punisher ult and die instantly

I also disagree, guy have a very narrow mindset of dps. She is a team dps, all she need is a buff to her wind+e speed.
@nopputhihk848 do you think? As it is it buffs her speed by 80%
I use storm as my main. I do agree she should have more abilities. I should also be able to freeze someone. Lol
She needs additional attacks and a wider range or weather attacks.
In addition her speed buff should have slow enemies

i really love her but shes missing something they need to give her a little bit more
I can't wait for her team move with human torch later this year
Guys our comp is 1/5/0 please get a strategist!
The strategist they pick:
great commentary! im really suprised it doesnt have bigger numbers
I feel like not enough people know this but the website list every stat and detail of a heroes ability. dont know why they dont just do it in game but its out there
Excellent Smashing...Live! selection
I'm still working on the positioning, I find myself out of place pretty often and so I just instantly get deleted
yes she is really good ive found

Support dps is always a nieche and gonna be hard to balance (sombra, sena, pyke). So i dont think she's good 😂

She needs work, she deserves better 😊

meet semi competent players and u are cooked when u pick her

no you shouldnt
They should turn her into support if that all she brings to the team. She just throws pillows and flies slow the entire match 🤣🤣🤣
nah
