Keep up bro,i just finished the video,i don’t do great with Storm but sometimes im lucky😂when i get the MVP i can’t believe it,but she definitely need a big buff i would say give her 300HP,no reload,better damage and speed
Great work getting to GM. I like the concept of storm as a support damage hybrid, but can’t get past how useless her right click is. What’s your advice on the right click. It’s less damage than 2 autos and takes almost the exact same time, its max range is 40 meters before it just ends. It only has a 250 break point when in enhanced thunder (I think, can’t remember all my testing). It’s easier to land with its 1 m radius but that seams kind of meaningless. I never saw you use it for a down the line attack trying to pierce everyone, which was my first thought of its use. So I’m at a loss as to how or why I would ever use it.
I typically use it to finish people who are low and trying to escape because it is more reliable to hit then the left clicks at range, but it doesn't have a super long cooldown so you could definitely use it to pierce enemies in main as well. While I'm GM I am definitely not the best at the game, so take my advice with a grain of salt :)
She had no final blows, which fr a dps is trash. Also every other meta duelist can dish out more damage and before impactful than 8-12% with burst and consistency

@@Dodeunin GM you MUST know your role and if you don't your team will crumble. Wolverine is good against tanks but not dps or healers but decided to take the matchup against a dps.(unless you're max rage and have ult).If this was any metal rank I'd understand, but in diamond you should know your role and cooperate with your team
That could help her too much since her damage isn't really what is lacking given that she's also part support. She often does some pretty high damage over all especially with her cleave. It's mostly her lack of killing power or cc. Hers is more support utility with damage so it feels underwhelming unless they are clumped together. For example even in this video, storm only did slightly less damage than psylocke and more than moon knight since people know to instantly kill his ankh. She also did about 2k less than the namor in this video. I think that's close enough for the support utility. Not everyone needs to be perfectly balanced though either. Namor and psylocke are considered "top tier" or pretty much some of these ones.
true, and you also play around your E sort of similar to torbs overload. but tbh I just like playing weird/off meta characters in games and seeing if I can make them work haha
I'm so over these mainline streamers they think they know everything but they really don't. It's not even entertaining to immediately think a character is bad without putting any time in them or seeing how others could be doing well. Great job dude I'm practicing storm now :)
Yep and now because of their teir lists, a hero who excels at teamwork, doesn't get teamwork because people don't wanna work with a hero.. it's sad really, like imagine if people thought for themselves.. but that would be to much to ask for I guess And I was having alot of fun on storm in gold and plat because I think most didn't care to look up teir lists, so it was alot more rare I got trash talked in spawn, but as I approach diamond it's really bad... you can tell they're all meta chasing losers who gotta watch teir lists to have fun inna game...
@fighisver you do realise there's very little aim involved on storm right? You actually couldn't have said this for a worse hero lmao. Maybe wanda would be a worse one? But yea the heros all about positioning, building ult which is the most aim intensive part and its just about linung up your cleaves, or tracking ults, you can stop hulk ults by slowing them, Jeff ults either through slowing him or quickly deleting him with your thunder combo and you have a great advantage point as storm for this as well, but one of the most important things is knowing how to have mind games with the enemy dive, youre one of the best anti dive heros as storm... so idk where aim comes in, If it required alot of aim than everyone would be maining her because all half the people playing know how to do is aim... it's largely why hawkeye and hela are so popular, they're definitely abit overruned but they're also the most basic and easy to understand heros, if you've mastered another shooter than you've mastered the mechanics of hawkeye and hela... meanwhile If we watch the evolution of most unique heros like genji from overwatch, they usually make their past self look like a noob every other month because the more unique heros in these games take unique skill sets.
Yup, streamers are honestly the worst people to look for honest advice from. They rely on flashy and exciting plays to be relevant, so when someone like Storm isn't able to fly around at speed and obliterate people, it makes her worthless to the brainless streamer crowd. The constant damage buff is actually crazy though, it basically eliminates those moments when someone gets away with a sliver of hp. She's an enabler and it makes a huge difference when played correctly, but since she's a "duelist" people are convinced she needs to be 1v1ing everyone.
I can't aim for shit with her, whatever mouth breather gave her both a slow projectile and a slow wind up time on each shot needs to be slapped. Absolutely infuriates me every time I try to get better with her because it feels like I need to unlearn years of aiming skills.

As another character if you do 80 normally, add 80 to your damage, now you did 92 with storm, add 92 to your damage. So does it actually add 80 both times and the overflow 12 goes to storm?

@@hepty3179 45dmg every 2s isn't much dps, especially considering the small 15m radius and the fact that she's a 250hp character. Very risky to stay in that range.
@zilliq-qz5uw yea way better if it was an augment to her autos so she can have a bit more power than relying on the zone to hopefully kill her enemies
Too bad the game doesn't show how much damage she's amplified or people might actually want to bring her along. I'd love to see a guide or gameplay with thought process from you.
@@NiallCosgrach haha I don't think so, but the teammates would be doing more damage while boosted so they're getting their ults sooner which is something
@@benbohOWI mean, not that people would request it but would be intrigued to know how you make it work in your elo as we never see storm not even in quickplay
I love her kit, but her primary fire just feels so weak. Almost feels like a strategist in terms of DPS. I hope she either gets a buff, seasonal buff, or cool new team up ability. Heard she’ll get one with human torch
Her primary fire is actually goated as shit when i found it that it goes through enemies. So if they are piling up, dude that does so much damage of one shot. Not only that her lighting can arc too if they are close. I think people are sleeping on her.
@@baciu14mantis basic attack also does 50dmg but it has no falloff, which is storm's biggest issue (starts at 15m and she does only 25dmg after 30m). Mantis also shoots faster (2.5aps vs 2aps for storm) Storm's damage boost is higher though (16% vs 12% and can go to 30% when casting goddess boost). So yeah they are pretty comparable but mantis is busted. Pretty sure mantis projectile goes faster as well
Yeah what the other guy said. She was quite literally only useable in the first match because no Hawkeye, hela, psylocke or green beam iron man. And 2nd was the Wolverine wanting to 1 trick.
@stickyfingers5189 True but still shows even the lowest rated characters can pop off as long as the player knows what they're doing with it. Bans are part of the game and is a good reason as to why having a main that isn't S+ tier might make it easier to get consistent wins since chances are low that it's gonna get banned. Of course it's still a good idea to get enough practice with the S+ characters on the rare occasions they managed to slip through the ban phase.
@@zzodysseuszz she probably isn't but she is considered as one of the worst Duelist. That F tier comment was for Hulk and Wolverine both considered as the worst Vanguard and Duelist in the first week. It's all thanks to their OTP hitting high ranks and destroying other players that changed their perception from F tier to Meta S+ tier.
I guess people were trying to play her like Iron Man and missing out on the huge value provided by the aura while also lacking the aoe that makes Iron Man not punish bad aim so hard.
If you use the goddess boost with lightning mode that's good damage that happens for them just being in range. Also your teammates are getting a damage buff. She's a lot better than people think. They try to play her like iron man
bro that is so true ive lost games in ranked where i pick storm and someone or sometimes multiple people just instantly give up and dont stop typing for me to switch even if i am doing good, however i also hit gm recently so yippee!! love storm
Strom is so goated in the Klyntar map always near her teammates for her buffs , And a lot of nooks and crannies for her to hide behind and come out to attack.
Storm manifests destruction for merely existing :) legends said just because you can't play a character doesn't mean they are unplayable. Love the gameplay! Great vid
Mannnn she's still one of the worst characters in the game... You are just really good with her. I don't see her often, but when i do; she's flying back from spawn over and over.
Lack of team coordination? Lack of snipers being priority targets by the rest of the team? The storm flying a mile in the air thinking they need to be like iron man so that healer's cannot get to them? Stay low to the ground unless necessary and play in your team rather than flying everywhere. Solves a lot of problems. Make sure to use covor and be on your A-game when it comes to the enemy snipers. Every extra tick of damage the enemy tanks have to eat from yoy buffing allies and poking them down makes them less and less effective as they try to push in and engage.
@nightdrivenen7909 I play in diamond, and she still brings low value. She's immediately targeted because of her attack buff, and it does not matter if she's low to the ground; since the characters that want to deal with her DGAF where she is.. storm isn't great. She is in need of help. I've yet to see her banned. Like I said, she's always flying back from spawn when I see her in game. And if she isn't, I send her back myself. Tough to defend a character that can't even do its role properly.
4:32 Guy was delusional lol. Her E doesn't hit targets that breaks line of sight. You can test this on practice range, on Galacta Bots moving with boxes around. One of the little things that makes Storm suck lol.
You're right! I actually went and tested to see how it works in the practice range after hearing that. You need line of sight with enemies from around her belly button so you can still hide the lower half of your hitbox behind cover and hit with it
Picked up Storm because of you and have been killing it. She's so fun, and people don't really know what to do about her for the most part because they never see her.
This doesn't show how overpowered a storm is but shows what a good storm can do to a good team-oriented group. Everyone stays alive, boosting each other. This is why people need to realize if you want to win games, its not just about you; its how you play with your team.
I had a storm shooting me in the back and didn’t even notice cuz it was just tickling me. They need to probably increase her dmg a little or give her projectiles splash damage. Her ult is sick though
@@scotttimbrell8632 basically the same damage as moonknight but also buffing your groups damage. I'd take the storm over him in a coordinated group lol
wish her empowered wind gave damage reduction to your team, like the wind messing with the projectiles, instead of slowing the enemy. so rarely find the slow useful
that "i think she's good, it just matters if your team tilts immediately when you pick her" comment was so real. she's not insanely strong by any means but she's FAR from a troll pick if in the right hands. kinda wild how people can watch a good Storm dominate and still be so clouded by people's tier lists that they can't admit that she's better than most people think. great video!
Tornado Storm has the potential to out damage Thunder Storm because a lot of Wind Blade's damage gets reduced by the damage falloff at 15m+ and the inability to constantly pierce multiple targets because you have less agency over the piercing angle at a distance. Tornado Weather Control and Goddess Boost lets you position closer and rotate faster around a target to get way more piercing hits. I could see in a year of practice, pro storms will be hitting 80%+ of their wind blade attacks as 2x-3x hits.
I’m actually in eternity with only one tricking storm and a little tip I see is that you gotta spam ur thunder bolt more. Like when it’s out of cooldown, throw that shit!
I love playing storm because, even in diamond, your teamates will see you doing the most in damage and kills while giving damage and speed boosts and be like, “yeah YOU are why we lost. Definitely.”
You know, I never thought about it, but I guess Storm is underrated for the exact same reason Iron Man was. In Diamond rank and above, where Hela and Hawkeye are banned every game, Storm would shoot up in value because her hard-counters can’t be picked!
As a Storm main...it would be best to have tanks and healers inside of your circle. It's also best to have at the least, 1 duelist like Psylocke to sneak around and keep flyers, snipers, healers scared and looking over their back.
Definitely think they should add a unique stat on the scoreboard for each Hero. "Damage Amplified" for storm and mantis, "Healing Boosted" for C&D and Jeff, "mines detonated" for peni, "turret assists" for namor... It's just be fun info to have.
Yeah I'm using her recently, she is strong. Her continuous buff get herself super assist number, her E is strong which covers my bad aiming and her ult is a surekill. I usually use vanguard, but she's probably one of the duelists I like to use.
Thank you for showing off Storm! I always see people downplay her and say she's useless. I'm not a Storm main but I enjoy playing her and have a lot of fun! I even got MVP a few games. Her kit is actually pretty great. Being able to damage buff her team, after using the install ability allows you to summon lightning strikes to sorrounding enemies is so cool and pretty effective and her Ultimate is very good, allowing you to go for easy backline picks. People are so easy to disregard this character without giving her a fair shot. Or they just play one game, make stupid decisions and just think "this character sucks". I don't think she's high tier by any means but she's not as bad as everyone is making her out to be. So again, thank you for this showcase. Hopefully this will get people to shut up a bit lol.
yeah the only real problem with storm like you said is that your sometimes your team auto tilts when you pick her, you can have top dmg mots final hits and people will still blame you for the loss if you lose
Honestly until you get to diamond it is way easier (but debatably less fun) to just try and be a better Hela/Hawkeye than the ones on the enemy team. Hopefully they let people ban lower than diamond in future seasons so it isn't as much of an issue. I managed to climb mostly playing punisher before I realized how fun storm was and began 1 tricking her
@@benbohOW I honestly doubt it’s easier in diamond. I don’t get why people say that. It’s not like that helas and Hawkeyes are insane in the lower ranks. I made it to plat 2 on black panther and doubt it’s gonna get easier.
@videocee Except Hawkeye also has two quick cooldown melee disengage moves, and his headshots still do crazy damage close up where it's even easier to hit them. There's a reason he's constantly banned by people who know what they're doing.
Some of these players are boosted, I have no idea how they made it to Diamond/GM. In the first match their DPS players were so bad, they swapped between heroes constantly and they couldn't even shoot you, their tanks didn't know how to take space. In the second match that Wolverine was trying to get a flying character when his whole kit is based on shredding tanks, he had 3% accuracy with less than 2k damage in the first round and he didn't even consider swapping to something range. Also, Mantis players with less than 30% accuracy is wild for that rank when her only mechanical skill is getting headshots. This was a great montage, but she's far from being "overpowered" as the clickbait title mentions.
I wouldn't really criticize it too much, there's gonna come a time we're all gonna miss when Grandmaster was (will be) basically Gold in Season 8 (or whenever).
Bit of a clickbaity title. Saying she is OVERPOWERED, but even in the description you agree she is weak. Honestly it's hard to tell that you are even damaging the enemy sometimes lol. It is fun to subvert people's expectations though, especially seeing the reactions of streamers.
You're 100% right on the title, I did it in an attempt to grab attention as a lot of people think she is so awful that she is unplayable. I typically have comparable or higher damage to other dps players in my lobbies so I wanted to make a post on it. I'll for sure change the title if it bothers a lot of people. I hope you enjoyed the video though, and thanks so much for the feedback!
@@benbohOW nah i mean look what happened to wolverine people are just dogshit at a game and won't try to play or learn anyone else cause all the streamers are apparently right lol
@totem311 absolutely none what does wisdom have to do when it comes to learning and playing a character enough to understand it’s kit before judging it?
As a Storm player myself, I’m proud lol. Can’t wait for the new buff. And yeah, people really underestimate her, she’s more of a hybrid dps-support, but the damage boost can pay off greatly. Her own personal damage just needs a buff, which we’ll see how the update pays off with that.
I absolutely love it when people play "low tier" characters and dominate. I've been a Hulk stan since before everyone started noticing how good he really is. Storm is another that I think is very underrated. I main vanguard and flex strategist, but I might have to pick up Storm as a duelist option.
Idk how people don’t see the insane value of a team wide 15%dmg boost when mercy is played almost exclusively for a single target 25%(now 30%) and storm also is a turret, can attack while damage boosting, is flying, and has death blossom on steroids
she does not increase damage by 15%, its 8%, 12% when boosted by her E, her personal damage boost is 16% and 30% when boosted, but her M1 sucks so much already that it does not help
@@Sebs-FFXIV these numbers are quite low but I think they still matter at high level because it means her team will get ultimate faster. So her team can have their ultimate before the opponent's support ults come online and they will always win the first fight which can often snowball. There is no equivalent of that aura in overwatch and I'd guess it's because it's too strong on paper. Let's see how the meta evolves but I wouldn't be surprised if she becomes hard meta soon because of this. Her speed aura sounds great on paper (Lucio is meta since 2016 for that reason alone) but the numbers are so low (8/20% vs Lucio 25/60%) I don't think it beats thunder aura
@zilliq-qz5uw that is not how it works, think about it, the more damage your team does the more enemy healers have to heal, therefore sure, while your team builds ultimates faster so does enemy healers, the only way to prevent healers from getting ultimates is killing the people they are trying to heal or kill the healers, ive had games where i was able to build luna ult in 40 seconds in domination matches because our tanks soaked so much damage that i was able to heal in the opening fight my whole ultimate charge
I honestly don’t know why no one plays Storm; I’ve been running her since the game started and she’s pretty great. Storm is one of the greatest supports you can have on a team. Her buffs alone, can actually change the tide of the match, as long as you have a decent team. Personally, it’s a lot harder to aim with her R2 on controller, than with a mouse. Still gotta tune my accuracy. But I tell you this: if you have 70% or higher accuracy with Storm… you’re a beast.
I feel for that wolverine guy 😭Ik people are saying "He wasn't focusing on the right person" etc but when playing wolverine idk what it is but you are the ONLY person who spots them. Essentially Leaving them alone, to Stop ur tank stealing which is ur JOB, when NO ONE is shooting them then getting blamed for being Capped on ur capasity can get annoyin. (He still sold by not counter swappin tho ngl) Poor guy.
I like the character, but you really have to be locked in to achieve what other characters can do without that much focus. She needs something else, idk if speed boost is it.
She's fire. Strongest characters in the game or ones that make the game the hardest besides hawkeye and hela are the dive characters which storm shuts down well. Used her a lot in tourney.

@@hepty3179 45dmg every 2s isn't much dps, especially considering the small 15m radius and the fact that she's a 250hp character. Very risky to stay in that range.
@zilliq-qz5uw yea way better if it was an augment to her autos so she can have a bit more power than relying on the zone to hopefully kill her enemies
@@starsnoireartseveral supports have more damaging autos though, and they can crit 💀
Too bad the game doesn't show how much damage she's amplified or people might actually want to bring her along. I'd love to see a guide or gameplay with thought process from you.
I really hope they give us damage amplified as a stat! If it is something people want I could definitely work on a guide
@@benbohOW Do you know if it also builds her ult? I think it should, but I'm greedy. 😄
@@NiallCosgrach haha I don't think so, but the teammates would be doing more damage while boosted so they're getting their ults sooner which is something
@@benbohOWI mean, not that people would request it but would be intrigued to know how you make it work in your elo as we never see storm not even in quickplay
Finished a game a few days ago with 32 assists. I'd love to know how much extra damage I gave our (Mvp) punisher when he was in his turret.
I love her kit, but her primary fire just feels so weak. Almost feels like a strategist in terms of DPS. I hope she either gets a buff, seasonal buff, or cool new team up ability. Heard she’ll get one with human torch
Her primary fire is actually goated as shit when i found it that it goes through enemies. So if they are piling up, dude that does so much damage of one shot.
Not only that her lighting can arc too if they are close. I think people are sleeping on her.
i think luna and mantis outdps her.
@@baciu14mantis basic attack also does 50dmg but it has no falloff, which is storm's biggest issue (starts at 15m and she does only 25dmg after 30m). Mantis also shoots faster (2.5aps vs 2aps for storm)
Storm's damage boost is higher though (16% vs 12% and can go to 30% when casting goddess boost).
So yeah they are pretty comparable but mantis is busted. Pretty sure mantis projectile goes faster as well
@zilliq-qz5uw yep
@@JuniiHejjikoI see someone's on the right path to using her. Her flight makes this good for getting good vantage points
I love how all the OTP's are popping off especially the ones rated as F tier.
Just shows how so little of the game we truly understand right now.
I mean having the best dps characters banned in these matches certainly helps
Yeah what the other guy said. She was quite literally only useable in the first match because no Hawkeye, hela, psylocke or green beam iron man. And 2nd was the Wolverine wanting to 1 trick.
@stickyfingers5189 True but still shows even the lowest rated characters can pop off as long as the player knows what they're doing with it.
Bans are part of the game and is a good reason as to why having a main that isn't S+ tier might make it easier to get consistent wins since chances are low that it's gonna get banned.
Of course it's still a good idea to get enough practice with the S+ characters on the rare occasions they managed to slip through the ban phase.
@@nox22119 she should not be the lowest rank though.
@@zzodysseuszz she probably isn't but she is considered as one of the worst Duelist.
That F tier comment was for Hulk and Wolverine both considered as the worst Vanguard and Duelist in the first week.
It's all thanks to their OTP hitting high ranks and destroying other players that changed their perception from F tier to Meta S+ tier.
You flashbang your self every time she changes her attack or speed buff
LOL
As a tank player, I appreciate you not letting the Wolverine have any fun
Jay3 downplaying Storm without realizing he’s getting a damage buff from her.
Streamers are talking shit but they cant back it up.
I guess people were trying to play her like Iron Man and missing out on the huge value provided by the aura while also lacking the aoe that makes Iron Man not punish bad aim so hard.
A good Iron-Man is played very similarly to a good Storm, actually.
If you use the goddess boost with lightning mode that's good damage that happens for them just being in range. Also your teammates are getting a damage buff. She's a lot better than people think. They try to play her like iron man
Having the background music change to Metallic Madness Zone Act 2 when your ult came online at 2:40 was some incredible editing, top tier!
bro that is so true ive lost games in ranked where i pick storm and someone or sometimes multiple people just instantly give up and dont stop typing for me to switch even if i am doing good, however i also hit gm recently so yippee!! love storm
congrats on gm :)
Strom is so goated in the Klyntar map always near her teammates for her buffs ,
And a lot of nooks and crannies for her to hide behind and come out to attack.
Storm manifests destruction for merely existing :) legends said just because you can't play a character doesn't mean they are unplayable. Love the gameplay! Great vid
Mannnn she's still one of the worst characters in the game... You are just really good with her. I don't see her often, but when i do; she's flying back from spawn over and over.
Lack of team coordination? Lack of snipers being priority targets by the rest of the team?
The storm flying a mile in the air thinking they need to be like iron man so that healer's cannot get to them?
Stay low to the ground unless necessary and play in your team rather than flying everywhere. Solves a lot of problems. Make sure to use covor and be on your A-game when it comes to the enemy snipers. Every extra tick of damage the enemy tanks have to eat from yoy buffing allies and poking them down makes them less and less effective as they try to push in and engage.
@nightdrivenen7909 I play in diamond, and she still brings low value. She's immediately targeted because of her attack buff, and it does not matter if she's low to the ground; since the characters that want to deal with her DGAF where she is.. storm isn't great. She is in need of help. I've yet to see her banned. Like I said, she's always flying back from spawn when I see her in game. And if she isn't, I send her back myself. Tough to defend a character that can't even do its role properly.
Bro playing storm like hela 🙏🏾 GGS
4:32 Guy was delusional lol. Her E doesn't hit targets that breaks line of sight. You can test this on practice range, on Galacta Bots moving with boxes around. One of the little things that makes Storm suck lol.
You're right! I actually went and tested to see how it works in the practice range after hearing that. You need line of sight with enemies from around her belly button so you can still hide the lower half of your hitbox behind cover and hit with it
@@benbohOW
~ from around her belly button
And how do we know this specific point of reference so exactly? :P
LMAO. There are some bots next to cover in the practice range I tested with to figure it out
Picked up Storm because of you and have been killing it. She's so fun, and people don't really know what to do about her for the most part because they never see her.
she's so much fun, and you know you're in people's heads when they lose to it
They need to increase her overall speed and she would feel way better to play.
This doesn't show how overpowered a storm is but shows what a good storm can do to a good team-oriented group. Everyone stays alive, boosting each other. This is why people need to realize if you want to win games, its not just about you; its how you play with your team.
I had a storm shooting me in the back and didn’t even notice cuz it was just tickling me. They need to probably increase her dmg a little or give her projectiles splash damage. Her ult is sick though
she already does piercing damage they should give her a damage buff tho
Her attacks pierce so she maybe doesnt need a dmg increase. Storms that position well and cleave a lot of players can do a ton of dmg
Take away the range fall off, make her more nimble and remove the need to reload and she will be a good pick...not the best either.
@@drachen6096 Accidently getting 1 or 2 shots of 25 damage isnt tons of damage. You may as well play Moonknight at that point.
@@scotttimbrell8632 basically the same damage as moonknight but also buffing your groups damage. I'd take the storm over him in a coordinated group lol
What a dream to go from being a fan of seagul to dog walking him with storm of all characters lmao
wish her empowered wind gave damage reduction to your team, like the wind messing with the projectiles, instead of slowing the enemy. so rarely find the slow useful
the neon white music at 8:30 was a pleasant surprise :)
Love watching game populations go from group think to group realizations. First it was Wolverine and Ironman, now storm is being used some.more.
Loving all the Sonic music. Subscribed.
thanks so much :D
that "i think she's good, it just matters if your team tilts immediately when you pick her" comment was so real. she's not insanely strong by any means but she's FAR from a troll pick if in the right hands. kinda wild how people can watch a good Storm dominate and still be so clouded by people's tier lists that they can't admit that she's better than most people think.
great video!
Tornado Storm has the potential to out damage Thunder Storm because a lot of Wind Blade's damage gets reduced by the damage falloff at 15m+ and the inability to constantly pierce multiple targets because you have less agency over the piercing angle at a distance. Tornado Weather Control and Goddess Boost lets you position closer and rotate faster around a target to get way more piercing hits.
I could see in a year of practice, pro storms will be hitting 80%+ of their wind blade attacks as 2x-3x hits.
Mighty fine work! Been really enjoying Strom lately, good to see she can work even in high elo lobbies.
4:05 whats with the “i suck”?😂
I think she’s saying ice up but idk
Ben killin it as storm per usual! also HUGE W on all the views!
Love you Zach thank you
My guy had as much impact on those games as i did 😂
I love Storm, hopefully she gets some buffs. Also nice video!
SURELY she will get some help 🙏
I love playing storm just so hilarious watching characters like wolverine try to jump you but barely miss
I’m actually in eternity with only one tricking storm and a little tip I see is that you gotta spam ur thunder bolt more. Like when it’s out of cooldown, throw that shit!
gratz on eternity! I also ended up hitting eternity with her eventually
Gonna be the next team captain
*leaps through portal*
BY THE EYE...
*dies*
I love playing storm because, even in diamond, your teamates will see you doing the most in damage and kills while giving damage and speed boosts and be like, “yeah YOU are why we lost. Definitely.”
You know, I never thought about it, but I guess Storm is underrated for the exact same reason Iron Man was. In Diamond rank and above, where Hela and Hawkeye are banned every game, Storm would shoot up in value because her hard-counters can’t be picked!
That Wolverine LOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 9:00
As a Storm main...it would be best to have tanks and healers inside of your circle. It's also best to have at the least, 1 duelist like Psylocke to sneak around and keep flyers, snipers, healers scared and looking over their back.
I love that ppl love to figure characters strengths. Thanks for the vid.
low-key she's my favorite dps I have lotta 24 0 20 games
@@KoolSocietyFilms lol so true
You’re making it so much harder on yourself by playing storm since she’s not great but props to you for styling with her!
Definitely think they should add a unique stat on the scoreboard for each Hero. "Damage Amplified" for storm and mantis, "Healing Boosted" for C&D and Jeff, "mines detonated" for peni, "turret assists" for namor... It's just be fun info to have.
Mosquito bite damage.
So this is why I’ve had a terrible storm in every game today 😂
ok that wolverine grab failing to kill u is actually bs LMAO
this vid is actually nicely made
I appreciate this so much. Thank you
Cheers from one Torb/Storm main to another.
You can never deny, the greatness of Sonic soundtracks. 😌 I hear it right in the background.
Yeah I'm using her recently, she is strong. Her continuous buff get herself super assist number, her E is strong which covers my bad aiming and her ult is a surekill. I usually use vanguard, but she's probably one of the duelists I like to use.
im so glad someone else plays storm
Thank you for showing off Storm!
I always see people downplay her and say she's useless.
I'm not a Storm main but I enjoy playing her and have a lot of fun! I even got MVP a few games.
Her kit is actually pretty great. Being able to damage buff her team, after using the install ability allows you to summon lightning strikes to sorrounding enemies is so cool and pretty effective and her Ultimate is very good, allowing you to go for easy backline picks.
People are so easy to disregard this character without giving her a fair shot. Or they just play one game, make stupid decisions and just think "this character sucks".
I don't think she's high tier by any means but she's not as bad as everyone is making her out to be.
So again, thank you for this showcase. Hopefully this will get people to shut up a bit lol.
Crazy i got this video after encountering an insane storm in my last rank match
yeah the only real problem with storm like you said is that your sometimes your team auto tilts when you pick her, you can have top dmg mots final hits and people will still blame you for the loss if you lose
I'm curious how you climbed rank with all the Helas and Hawkeyes around
Honestly until you get to diamond it is way easier (but debatably less fun) to just try and be a better Hela/Hawkeye than the ones on the enemy team. Hopefully they let people ban lower than diamond in future seasons so it isn't as much of an issue. I managed to climb mostly playing punisher before I realized how fun storm was and began 1 tricking her
@@benbohOW I honestly doubt it’s easier in diamond. I don’t get why people say that. It’s not like that helas and Hawkeyes are insane in the lower ranks. I made it to plat 2 on black panther and doubt it’s gonna get easier.
@@gaodesu_ Hela and hawkeye are basically permabanned in dia+ so its objectively easier haha
what do you do in real life when pinned by snipers? disengage, take cover and try to reposition. also hawkeye is crap up close
@videocee Except Hawkeye also has two quick cooldown melee disengage moves, and his headshots still do crazy damage close up where it's even easier to hit them. There's a reason he's constantly banned by people who know what they're doing.
As a Plat1 storm main, this vid made me happy :D
dude your movement is so good. I can see why you slap with Storm. ggwp
thanks so much!!
i have a feeling she'll be very strong with human torch team up coming up, definitely gonna give her another shot
Some of these players are boosted, I have no idea how they made it to Diamond/GM. In the first match their DPS players were so bad, they swapped between heroes constantly and they couldn't even shoot you, their tanks didn't know how to take space. In the second match that Wolverine was trying to get a flying character when his whole kit is based on shredding tanks, he had 3% accuracy with less than 2k damage in the first round and he didn't even consider swapping to something range. Also, Mantis players with less than 30% accuracy is wild for that rank when her only mechanical skill is getting headshots.
This was a great montage, but she's far from being "overpowered" as the clickbait title mentions.
I wouldn't really criticize it too much, there's gonna come a time we're all gonna miss when Grandmaster was (will be) basically Gold in Season 8 (or whenever).
They literally had 0% accuracy on rocket how did that even happen?? Lol
Bit of a clickbaity title. Saying she is OVERPOWERED, but even in the description you agree she is weak. Honestly it's hard to tell that you are even damaging the enemy sometimes lol. It is fun to subvert people's expectations though, especially seeing the reactions of streamers.
You're 100% right on the title, I did it in an attempt to grab attention as a lot of people think she is so awful that she is unplayable. I typically have comparable or higher damage to other dps players in my lobbies so I wanted to make a post on it. I'll for sure change the title if it bothers a lot of people. I hope you enjoyed the video though, and thanks so much for the feedback!
@@benbohOW nah i mean look what happened to wolverine people are just dogshit at a game and won't try to play or learn anyone else cause all the streamers are apparently right lol
Storm adds a ton of value when played correctly.
@@savageweeb3608 Yeah Savageweeb3608, what wisdom do you hold that proves otherwise?
@totem311 absolutely none what does wisdom have to do when it comes to learning and playing a character enough to understand it’s kit before judging it?
As a Storm player myself, I’m proud lol. Can’t wait for the new buff.
And yeah, people really underestimate her, she’s more of a hybrid dps-support, but the damage boost can pay off greatly. Her own personal damage just needs a buff, which we’ll see how the update pays off with that.
Storm: gets most kills in the match
Streamer: she's trash
To play storm, you require brain, which is something that eighty percent of marvel rivals players just lack. Lol
I absolutely love it when people play "low tier" characters and dominate. I've been a Hulk stan since before everyone started noticing how good he really is. Storm is another that I think is very underrated. I main vanguard and flex strategist, but I might have to pick up Storm as a duelist option.
people thought hulk was bad for a good while, but he actually dominates in the right hands
Idk how people don’t see the insane value of a team wide 15%dmg boost when mercy is played almost exclusively for a single target 25%(now 30%) and storm also is a turret, can attack while damage boosting, is flying, and has death blossom on steroids
she does not increase damage by 15%, its 8%, 12% when boosted by her E, her personal damage boost is 16% and 30% when boosted, but her M1 sucks so much already that it does not help
@@Sebs-FFXIV these numbers are quite low but I think they still matter at high level because it means her team will get ultimate faster. So her team can have their ultimate before the opponent's support ults come online and they will always win the first fight which can often snowball.
There is no equivalent of that aura in overwatch and I'd guess it's because it's too strong on paper. Let's see how the meta evolves but I wouldn't be surprised if she becomes hard meta soon because of this. Her speed aura sounds great on paper (Lucio is meta since 2016 for that reason alone) but the numbers are so low (8/20% vs Lucio 25/60%) I don't think it beats thunder aura
@zilliq-qz5uw that is not how it works, think about it, the more damage your team does the more enemy healers have to heal, therefore sure, while your team builds ultimates faster so does enemy healers, the only way to prevent healers from getting ultimates is killing the people they are trying to heal or kill the healers, ive had games where i was able to build luna ult in 40 seconds in domination matches because our tanks soaked so much damage that i was able to heal in the opening fight my whole ultimate charge
My favorite Storm player
thanks cutie
I recently got into storm so I resonate with this video
I think storms movement needs buffed and the falloff range needs extended.
Have to remember to keep that E activated, free damage. Also, on lightning when enemies are close though the wind slows enemies.
I main storm as a duelist and I’m always keeping up with the “top duelist” options if not better. Especially with a good team comp.
I honestly don’t know why no one plays Storm; I’ve been running her since the game started and she’s pretty great. Storm is one of the greatest supports you can have on a team. Her buffs alone, can actually change the tide of the match, as long as you have a decent team.
Personally, it’s a lot harder to aim with her R2 on controller, than with a mouse. Still gotta tune my accuracy. But I tell you this: if you have 70% or higher accuracy with Storm… you’re a beast.
I feel for that wolverine guy 😭Ik people are saying "He wasn't focusing on the right person" etc but when playing wolverine idk what it is but you are the ONLY person who spots them. Essentially Leaving them alone, to Stop ur tank stealing which is ur JOB, when NO ONE is shooting them then getting blamed for being Capped on ur capasity can get annoyin. (He still sold by not counter swappin tho ngl) Poor guy.
I dont see an OP storm i see top notch strategists in ya backline thats the real highlight of this video
Love the Machine Girl.
Nice video!! Storm is great!! People just don’t know how to play her.
I saw something about storm doing piercing damage, so lining them up would let you hit them all at once.
wow can't believe you made her work
I like the character, but you really have to be locked in to achieve what other characters can do without that much focus. She needs something else, idk if speed boost is it.
I love playing underrated heroes.
So storm CAN die being carried of map BUT Seagull hit you into the wall while he fell into the kill plane below. Thats hilarious
I like her kit, but I def think she either needs slightly buffed numbers or for people to paying enough attention to actually make use of her utility.
five game winstreak after picking up storm, i swear she's stronger than i had expected, and alot of fun to play too!
This is more that he hits an insane amount of basic attacks rather than storm actually being a good hero though. Props for the acc though.
does anybody know if they have buffed or nerfed any characters so far in this game??
I love playing storm, from ny experience shes been pretty good
She's fire. Strongest characters in the game or ones that make the game the hardest besides hawkeye and hela are the dive characters which storm shuts down well. Used her a lot in tourney.
