I main completely as Storm and even I have to admit she needs at LEAST a speed and mobility boost and a get away tactic. But this video also proves my theory that a good, attentive team is essential for her to thrive.
I love that you're consistent with the Storm content despite the general playerbase' negative opinion on her (to the point they want her reworked as a strategist) STORM NATION WE WILL RISE SOON BE SWIFT!
@@dustincarroll3168 OK? Like I'm sorry but nobody plays her anyway so if one person drops her but in turn more people play her, that's a positive tbh. This game has more than enough duelists at the moment anyway. By the way, Strategists can also do a lot of damage, they can still buff her pathetically weak primary fire AND make her a Strategist.
@boringmonkey6958 it does not fit her character, she's the singular dps I jazz with atm until Jean Grey eventually gets added, her kit is fine as is. Primary fire projectiles could be a bit faster but she's a solid pick
i havent played this char too much but i really do feel like the negative reaction is a bit extreme, i do think the flight + small-ish aoe are sort of antisynergistic, but you just have to not fly a million miles into the air like you would as iron man and it suddenlty works well, you just fly just far enough off the ground to make you not take aoe damage directed at the rest of your team and make melee characters job hell to deal with you
I think the damage aura is under appreciated. Your whole team is getting ult faster, which means the storm team is nearly certain to win the first fight. And it will most likely have support ult ready before the opponent damage ults come online
I notice your aim with Storm is quite impeccable and I think it makes up for a lot with her potential. Rarely need to worry about mobility if you don't have to run away from encounter
The entirety of the player base collectively has no idea how to play this character and she's low key cracked. Wouldn't be mad at all if they ended up buffing her because of it.
Honestly i feel like they should give storm a cool down reduction like psylocke or a reduction when she gets kills i think it’d be an overall good change. But in her current state i still believe that she can carry w good strategists and positioning.
I mostly play support roles, but whenever I need to damage, I pull out Storm, and she is so fun. Currently in plat 2, I recently got a 40-kill game with her.
the more ive played of her the more im sure she should just stay niche. if shes buffed she'll be out of control. the auto tracking lighting and damage boost and speed boost is so good for your team.
I play strange and i am in diamond today i met person named ilovemywife and he played Storm, our loki was telling him to switch from the start but my goat didnt switch and he rolled the enemy team and got MVP. He will be always rembered
Love seeing this high-level match. I noticed firing lanes were locked down ahead of time and an enemy Strange opening a portal to get behind it all, then the aerial kill on Iron Man coming through the portal. Elite action in the first few seconds.
Kind of, if you're using the thunder (damage) aura. It boosts the current aura (~x2) and affects the enemies in range: movement slow for the tornado (speed) aura and 45 damage zaps every 2s on the thunder (damage) aura. Which can be considered AOE
@ right so I’m guessing the first lightning strike comes out as soon as you buff which is basically a free instant 45 damage hit on a specific target if theyre the only enemy in your area. Pretty sick never thought to use it like an attack.
@@j.peezer I didn't test it and I don't have access to my PC right now but yeah I suppose that's what it does. The UI shows how many opponents are in range of the strike/slow
Storms not as horrible as people think. I think she's really good for the convoy maps cause your team should be around the payload. People just don't know how to play her and when she gets the seanonal buff she's going to be scarey if they give her a 15% damage buff
Got to GM 2 with storm and had to farm to Lord just to prove I wasn’t trolling and so ppl take me seriously when picking her 😭
@@cali.elli.6624 the next step is getting your name recognized and being told "this is the only person you can trust to play Storm"
@ lmaoo im already starting to see them ban her when they recognize me

Bruhhh she def needs tweaking but a whole revert to support is CRAZY especially since she such a force in the comics
Thing is, she DOES play like a Strategist though so they should just amplify those aspects about her and make her a Strategist
@boringmonkey6958 if they rework her into a strategist instead of leaning more into damage im dropping her.

I feel like you give this character one of the weaker ults and she’s an instant throw pick though. I think that ult carries this character.

@ just a really boring gameplay loop for such a cool character in the comics
@@YMan-zo5kg that's a valid point
@@YMan-zo5kgI mean not really. And honestly having her support her team fits her personality
@@paulakroy2635 not at all. She's an omega level mutant. She does t feel like it at all

She does need a buff in movement...
Nah she is not cracked. She’s not terrible but only ok.
@CadeGreenwood-p1b Her movement is fine. If anything she needs a cool down buff. Or a damage fall off buff.
@@paulakroy2635 cracked.

Your audio got fried @15:00, nice video, helped me understand I've been playing the character wrong.
Uhhh the voice chat is diabolical for the first 20 seconds 😢
SORRY LOL
the more ive played of her the more im sure she should just stay niche. if shes buffed she'll be out of control. the auto tracking lighting and damage boost and speed boost is so good for your team.
YH, HONESTLY I THINK THATS ENOUGH FOR HER AND FAIR FOR EVERYONE. THO I WISH SHE COULD MOVE A LIL FASTER
She was massively nerfed from the beta because the devs were scared of her
H U G E
Do u stream on twitch
I play strange and i am in diamond today i met person named ilovemywife and he played Storm, our loki was telling him to switch from the start but my goat didnt switch and he rolled the enemy team and got MVP. He will be always rembered
I just got MVP with Storm. If you use her right, you can literally carry the team. 💪🏿
I've noticed that it isn't worth trying to hit far away flying/fast units
She has slow projectiles and a short falloff range, it starts at 15m
@zilliq-qz5uw yup, it's better to hit tank and hope the pierce will hit another target
You are better off at 0.1% bro, I'm at -0I'm gonna digest this gameplay to improve my Storm

Saw you on the Rick Kurdish show last night. Keep up the great work!
@@OJoe64 It was a blast to be on it!
Do you ever switch to another character when being countered? Or you mono storm all the way?
mono storm 🔥
Love it. Storm pls
No way that iron man was playing at the highest level
Huge!
Does the buff itself do aoe when you activate it?
Kind of, if you're using the thunder (damage) aura.

I used to love storm in the beta. Why does she feel so much worse now?
At 2:30 what is this flick?
@@OffBrandChicken its a video cut not a flick!
@ ah
TUNDA-BOLT😍🥰
Sooo when's the Storm guide? XD
HUGE
its pronounced
Hyuuuuucheeee
Instead of WHyOOO JUHJUHJUHJUUUUUUUH
Like touche or sha-de
This keeps me up at night too

@@u9hh no u
Do you think Storm needs a buff?
@@MagicMan6969 No I think she is good as she is.
@@ppeemgi wish she gained a movement ability if she had the speed boost up she feels so slow in the air
xD
