    Like the new approach.
    The separation actually feels like it had more impact on the commentary than gameplay, it felt more cohesive and the wiki sections were great to narrow the listener's focus. Maybe in the future you could also cut the gameplay to showcase what specific feature you're talking about too? Idk, i think it's good enough really.

    Skye is pretty good early game because she has self-heals + 2 smoke bombs which gives a lot of movement speed with the card and illuminate 1 is pretty weak to counter her properly with her movement speed. So she will be pretty strong at the start of the game, but will be weaker late game so you will depend on your teammates. If the enemy team is well aware of Skye there's not much she can do once people bought illuminate and when the cauterize increases.

      Did you watch the video? He just bascially said Skye has one of the best pick rates and win rates in high elo...
      You pc players have just been coping this whole time, she used to be way stronger before she got nerfed for console so even tho she has buffs now, you guys would hate facing old Skyes from console so the buff barely changes much of this factor, it's simply that you pc players cant grasp your heads around the fact skye is a fking plague on this game 😂 well aim assist is the true problem but if were gonna keep aim assist on console then skye needs a rework but pc players are still delusional, thinking shes not literally kasumi and lian had a fusion baby, high ass dmg and with aim assist she has better auto aim then kasumi lol being a vora or evie main on console is probably the hardest thing you can do in this game because of heros like her.

But if you play against 5 very strong experimented players who know how to counter-pick like the old pro players then Skye will struggle late games and you will depend on your teammates, that's all.

I mean skye isnt as bad as lex but it's the same concept and as lex you can just bascially kill everything for free, it's a similar feeling you get on moria against players that cant aim, only these players I'm beating can aim, just my dmg and insane consistency, it better then theirs. I typically play heros like maeve, vora and evie on console in diamond lobbies so dude going from that to just the game playing for me is nuts and why I ultimately stopped playing, and ow feels similar only with bland hitscan heros that dominate the meta on pc but they just take over the console community with aim assist.

    I'd like to seem them revert the change of Preperation.
    Hidden is used (in my opinion atleast) to position yourself, with the new Preperation you have to use it as an escape.
    What i liked about the old Preperation is the momentum you could get from it, since your cooldowns get reset after a kill.
    What i would like to see changed about the old Preperation is it trigger on elims instead of kills, to make it more consistent. A full rest on all cooldowns after an elim is a bit OP, so it would probably be best to reduce the return you get; elims give you 50% reduction on all cooldowns, or maybe 30% or something (that's just balancing and finding the right percentage).
    Hope they'll bring back that playstyle, i used to go for old Preperation when our team was pretty good on the damage side, so i could focus on finishing enemies off.

Even with illuminate three all she had to do was sneak my back in a longer range.

    I remember back when I played console, her old third talent that gave her instant cd was such a snowball machine. I was ALWAYS able to 1v5 the enemy team as long as I flanked their support, damage, flank, and tank in that order with small adjustments depending on the matchup. She had disgustingly high dps cuz I was able to hit every shot. It was pretty fun but Jesus Christ was it toxic.
    And then with the card that temporarily gave her infinite shots after you land the poison darts would essentially have it be permanent as long as you get the kill, assist or not.

  • @rawkhawk414
    @rawkhawk414 Год назад +1

    For me the reason Skye is so successful can be summed up pretty easily (saying this before finishing the video lol). She's a Damage hero, not a flank (the flank title is almost misleading). She has busted movement speed. She has percent based damage. She can go invisible which is incredibly powerful and even a bit underrated because it's easily countered (doesn't make it less powerful, just manageable if you respect it). She has an ult that despite being difficult to confirm denies point in overtime and stalemates. Her ult also denies shields, baits out defensives, and she can toss it out as an oh shit button against targets that have overextended or used their dashes already. And finally, of course, she benefits from aim assist. But can't credit all her success to that. I DO think Andrew has always underrated Skye a bit (but I'm not saying she was ever this viable before lol)--and I do think that her buffs and aim assist entering ranked was about all she needed to tip her overboard. She was always annoying. Never OP but overwhelming if your teammates were disrespectful of her potential.
    I also agree that her increased viability is the result of all these little buffs snowballing. I also agree that "Illuminate hard counters Skye" is balanced with "Illuminate is a crappy item that can't be sold later".

    Lex has 1280 dps that can go up to 1472 with discovery but no poison
    Talus has 1158 dps that goes up to 1544 on overcharge, making his burst comparable to Skye on squishies but still loses against tanks because of the % health

    Honestly I think she is a good champ but what makes her strong is the inability of other players to anticipate her. I’m a Skye main and the amount of players I see ignoring the sounds Skye makes when going to stealth is way too many. The easiest way to avoid her attacking you is listening her going to stealth. I hardly get killed by Skye as a support or dmg champ because I know how she works and listen to the sounds.
