The damage was needed too imo. Why is someone named storm only causing a mild weather inconvenience. Now she actually brings a storm to the battlefield and it's great. Her weaknesses and counters remained the same so she's balanced imo.
@@Ostrid1 considering she also boosts her entire team's damage output passively i feel like it's fair if her average damage is lower than the other duelists. but you are right about her weaknesses still being intact, with only the Hela and Hawkeye nerfs (mostly Hela's) being the difference from S0.
@@Ostrid1 I think maybe the falloff too arguably, but with the damage buff, not only am I amping my whole team's damage, I'm often top damage on my team (and that's WITH them being buffed xD)
I main Storm on duelist and got MVP many times; but it was a struggle but felt good; the biggest change IMO is not in the notes, the falloff dmg not so strict is big; it makes her far more forgiving for n00bs. I sorta think with the changes she didnt need it; her farming for ult being faster now; but I do see ppl granted; low ELO play her like IM still lol. High ELO I fear she'll get banned a lot :(
One thing the patch notes didn’t mention but was listed on the website is that her fall off has been changed to start at 20m and reduces to 70% damage at 40m, which is way better than 15m/30m 50%dmg
What's good is that I've been seeing people try her and still thinking she's awful so they immediately give up. She's legitimately a sleeper pick now where she's perfectly viable and actually on the stronger side but since nobody wants to play her right, they all think she's bad so it'll keep the attention off her hahaha
This. I hope it stays that way because people never gave her a chance prior to the buff and she was darn near the same. The biggest difference imo is the projectile speed but all you had to do was just lead your shots a bit more previously. It’s nice too because she’s terrible with and against dive comps so it balances out.
she is definitely not a sleeper pick. no one is sleeping on her at least on console. she’s been banned literally in all the games i played yesterday, she’s so freaking annoying now.
@@lmAKitty That's exactly the thing I was trying to avoid with this buff. 40 hours on her last season without a care in the world and now she's getting banned in high elos. So fucking annoying.
The little shields in the air is SUCH an elegant and clever solution for healing flying heroes imo. A simple right click from a support and you have in-air cover that you can shoot through and an AOE heal to play around. I love it. Sadly many Invisible Woman players have yet to catch on but hopefully in time.
As a Spidey main, it's amazing how I went from bullying the rare Storm player to being onetapped by her without her even looking at me. At this point the webhead doesn't counter anyone lmao
@@closotezukado you know the extent of Storms powers? It isn't just ice and lightning. She can suck the air from people's lungs, or boil them alive from the inside out. She can command cosmic storms, or snap freeze a planet. You're right, she isn't Iron Man, he isn't in her league.
No opinion on if it's good or bad but if I had to guess as to why, it was for C&D to be able to put it out and return the the team. If you start at your team, 3 dashes leaves you at the enemy's front line. Granted, it's a massive healing Ult, but still leaves you right in their face to potentially insta-kill before you're back on the healing area. Four dashes puts them back at their team at the end and able jump back to fight or heals, etc.
Literally won my past like 8 storm games in a row in ranked getting majority MVPs. Also got a game that was 3-2 first round only and i still got 51 kills with her. completely insane character after the buffs. Far easier to play and also far more effective. Her ult is also super spammable now, that 51 kill game i was getting my ult faster than the enemy luna, busted as hell.
Ngl I used her today in ranked as a mediocre storm player and got average like 40+ kills in 10 games and only lost once. She feels SO GOOD to play now.
id LOVE a storm guide esp on positioning, sometimes its hard to see whats a good spot without being too far back that and just tips in general, some games i dominate on storm, other games i do nothing, a guide will defo help refine my storm good gameplay as always benboh, im so happy with the storm buffs she feels so SMOOTH to play finally
You want to mainly be playing on the ground middle of the pack, and not high up in the air like iron man because she loses almost all of her team buff up there. Height to bully or chase picks, but then back to buffing team and dealing massive damage.
I pushed comp the last two days of season 0 with only storm and I got to Grand Master. I must say that beeing able to see how you played helped me in pushing to gm with storm
It took me exactly one storm game after playing her a bunch in season 0 to realize how insane these changes are for her. If she becomes meta, non shield tanks are going to see a huge drop off in pick rate
im so happy they increased the fall off range and it only goes to 70% and not 50% now... still never get to play her since (i do it to myself) i fill most games.
I didnt wanna pick her up before the buffs as I honestly thought she was trash despite trying to play her. The projectile buff alone would made me play her more, but the other changes was just icying.
I'm very curious where the community will place her in the tierlist cause she seems very nice especially cause now she can be a threat now with damage especially on top of her damage buff support like storm Luna ult might go crazy actually with all that damage support
id imagine storm can work in comps with rocket punisher and bucky due to her damage boost paired with rockets team up turning the other 2 into turbo killing machines
I love the buffs but has anyone noticed her lightning primary is a bit bugged. Some shots will land and some won't at some angles. Other than that I'm alright with the changes
It would be interesting to see a match where you struggle to pull out a win instead of just stomping some bums. Future storm buff that would be nice would be another teamup and maybe 5% increase in movement speed for her wind stance or it doing something more when she doesn't do the activate mode.
The vid I’ve been waiting for since I heard about the Storm buff! My only thing with her now is she needs like a quick dash escape. Even if it’s short, I mean she’s the fricken wind goddess couldn’t she ride it for a short burst or something!?
It honestly hurts, I was a storm main since the game came out too and now it just feels like storm mains can’t win, first she’s too weak, and now I can’t even play her above diamond cuz she’s banned, they should’ve left the buffs at dmg and projectile speed, her ult was good as it was
Hi BenBoh i have question. Ive been playing storm alot and almost Lord with her but ive noticed on a few occasions my weather control symbol turns into a 3rd symbol thats neither thunder or wind. Would you happen to know what it is and how its triggered?
@@benbohOW I tried leaving a reply but it looks like it got deleted. I made a post about it on reddit but no1 was able to give me an answer. Its different from weather control and goddess boost. Trying to not get this reply deleted again so im not sure how to show you what im trying to describe.
Finally they buff her. I really hate her kits. Her ult is great but that's all about it. I hate the fact that she have to reload, like what's she reloading? Air? Also her buffing teams mechanic should be improved if that's what they want her character to be.. idk, but she's lacking a lot except her ult. Now these changes is great i guess eventho it's not what most people want I'm sure
As a season 0 storm main, you just gotta hit ur shots which is much easier with this buff and more rewarding especially that right click. Learn her combo as well
Storm is now a great pick, from why play storm when theres other dps to why arent you playing storm. Hoping they change the goddess boost E. should give Storm the agency to hit her shots rather than rely on passive bolts to get kills/damage. Would massively benefit great storm players while less good ones have to work their aim. Just minor thoughts. Still think Alt fire should change off forms. Wind alt fire should be a windbomb that launches her like Pharah.
I wouldn't call her overpowered at all. She's very strong now, for sure, but also a squishy glass cannon. You get anyone good with hitscan characters or a good Hawkeye and she's down for the count. Or even a good iron fist. I wouldn't mind a very slight speed buff on her wind ability but she feels like she's in a pretty good place now overall.
Die hard 1 trick storm main, and I'm very happy with these changes. I almost feel like they overtuned her a bit. But awesome video bro, you've helped me better myself as a storm player ❤
She's absolutely meta. Better than old Hela idk how anyone could argue otherwise I've never seen so many people w no time on a hero have such consistent MVPs, and then there's the OG Storm users just defiling swathes of enemies even harder. Best DPS, will get relentlessly banned sadly
I feel like all she actually needed was the projectile speed buff, but as a storm believer I'm not upset. Just funny to see storm in 90% of my games

Elims aren't kills.

Grinding Storm has paid off so much like she finally getting the love she deserved
proud to say that i got lord with storm BEFORE the buffs.
Same here. Got Lord and GM with her.
I’m like 100 points away from it all before the buff im not gonna be home for another 2 weeks and I really want to play her now
I wanted to but I had no time😭
Same
Same 😎

The Storm we deserved
I loved storm and now I reallllyyyy love her. Legit she feels so much better just from this.
She so good right now! I don’t think she’s broken or rly OP. She seems A tier. Things may change going forward.
I can see her in ranked being super powerful especially diamond and above.
Storm gang we are SO BACK
As a day old Storm main I was waiting for this video
She feels way better since the patch, been getting a ton of MVPs with her now
id LOVE a storm guide
esp on positioning, sometimes its hard to see whats a good spot without being too far back
that and just tips in general, some games i dominate on storm, other games i do nothing, a guide will defo help refine my storm
good gameplay as always benboh, im so happy with the storm buffs she feels so SMOOTH to play finally

I'm out here giving every Luna and Mantis in my lobby war flashbacks whenever they hear my ult coming
I'm glad I got her Lord portrait before patch day. Her buffs all feel so good!
its so fun seeing people try her each match and immediately swap off the moment they die
I pushed comp the last two days of season 0 with only storm and I got to Grand Master. I must say that beeing able to see how you played helped me in pushing to gm with storm
Dude I got 8 MVPs and 4 SVPs in a row with her, she's soo good and people aren't focusing her.
Lmao that "Sup Susan..." cracked me up! Proceeds to obliterate her 😂😂😂
It took me exactly one storm game after playing her a bunch in season 0 to realize how insane these changes are for her.
If she becomes meta, non shield tanks are going to see a huge drop off in pick rate
I’ve been checking back like every two hours waiting for this video since the new season started
im so happy they increased the fall off range and it only goes to 70% and not 50% now... still never get to play her since (i do it to myself) i fill most games.

o7 we are no longer underdogs
I didnt wanna pick her up before the buffs as I honestly thought she was trash despite trying to play her. The projectile buff alone would made me play her more, but the other changes was just icying.
that storm guide is NEEDED now that the buff has brought in a huge influx of storm players.
Honestly though, like I know kinda how to play her because of the videos but a guide would be amazing
Could you make a video watching one of your previous games and going through your thought process? Would be really useful as an aspiring storm main
Your movement is so fast 😍 are you on the default sensitivity?
6:22 you hit 3 people with a single R click??
Always appreciate your storm videos
I'm very curious where the community will place her in the tierlist cause she seems very nice especially cause now she can be a threat now with damage especially on top of her damage buff support like storm Luna ult might go crazy actually with all that damage support
Just had a almost 60 kills ranked game. Shes amazing!
why Loki ban at 7:29?
id imagine storm can work in comps with rocket punisher and bucky due to her damage boost paired with rockets team up turning the other 2 into turbo killing machines
I love the buffs but has anyone noticed her lightning primary is a bit bugged. Some shots will land and some won't at some angles. Other than that I'm alright with the changes

Yes! Sensitivity settings?
Storm buffs go hard 😎. Time to play storms theme from Marvel vs Capcom 3 🎶.

Yes that's my only complain now.
Got mvp first quick match I tried with her! She feels so nice now =)
Does fps increase flying speed? your movment way faster it seems
Yeah the buffs are pretty good. The hulk teamup still doesn't do much but Im very happy we got left click speed up
Why does no one include the replay code so we can watch the whole match?
bro she's definitely meta even without the human torch team up lol
Do you think we can keep the storm perception to just "mid character" or even still "quite bad" so we can fish for more VERY DESERVED buffs?
I’m curious as to what else you want buffed for her ? She’s in a wayyy better spot now imo
Next video: Storm sucks pls stop banning her
In your 2nd game, why did you ban Loki?
Storm guide coming soon?
Finally storm will stop being slept on
baller sonic mania soundtrack in the back
So, you can play her with one hand now ?
Man I climbed to low plat in like 3 hrs yesterday win upon win MVP across the board. Her buffs are insane. Just hit Lord a couple days ago to lol
She does so much more damage now
This character is so broken right now. I've gotten 13 mvps in a row with her. It's crazy
I notice u dont try to go for her combo's, whyz?
It honestly hurts, I was a storm main since the game came out too and now it just feels like storm mains can’t win, first she’s too weak, and now I can’t even play her above diamond cuz she’s banned, they should’ve left the buffs at dmg and projectile speed, her ult was good as it was
For some weird reason my enemies actually hit back though.
Us storms can finally rise to the top 💪🏽
Honestly I’m just glad that now I won’t have dumb ass throw intentionally because I locked in storm
I love that she gets a buff but one time I had a match against storm and loki and they ulted back to back, it was disgusting
I am convinced I was the first Storm lord on my server.

can i ask, when do you want to use her right click? i dont really get it, it feels useless
early in fights spam it off cooldown to build ult, as the fights develop use it to finish people or get chip damage on flankers to force them out
At first I was mad they didn't make her move faster but after playing her she would be OP if she moved faster.

She was like that prior to the buff because of the pierce. It’s great and makes her even more viable 😅
@@Radbiker33357the increase in projectile speed helps accumulate ult charges even faster, so the ult is indirectly buffed.
@@giahypham4111 yea with higher damage output the charge increases. And now shes more reliable in doing damage the ult just... so fast

Ban/Pick hero in this season for sure its too OP

really liked storm before the update, but since the buff there’s been at least 1 in every game i’ve played, i’m tired boss
suffering from success
Today alone, i played comp with gm players from last season, got mvp and svp ALL DAY. Been diffing these new gen storms
Game's been out for a month everyone's new gen

I been able to counter her using punisher and rocket
tbh she was pretty strong in season 0, just people not playing her correctly, they were playing her like ironman or something
nah the devs cooked with these changes
Hiswattson, abralelie, mande has left apex ok
Storm is soo good now i dont think itll be meta tho or maybe i just like bearing people with what they call weak.😅
I knew she was overpowered when hopped In the range she might need a nerf
