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 :)
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

@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
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.
The damage stat transfers to her? Is that the same with mantis? I always assumed it just factored into everyone else damage stat. 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?
The only thing that makes it hard is when theres 1 other semi-competent DPS. A good storm can be their own worst enemy when it comes to MVP. All it takes is them being smart enough to stand near you and boost their damage numbers.
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.
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 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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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).
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
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.
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 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.
Any idea what buffs or changes you think Storm needs? I been mainly gravitating towards her movement that she needs to be grounded like everyone else with the option to levitate like Dr.Strange.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.”
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
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.
Inspired storm under goddess boost is 42% damage boost, so her basic does 70 (same as Hela which is hitscan and can headshot for 140 😢) and her bolt does 99
Tbh, shes not as bad as people think she is, she has one of the strongest ultimates and the team buffs she offers are pretty good. She only needs more damage and shorter coldowns, but overall she is pretty solid
Storm is good in team fight than solo que. After seeing some of the clips here. Reason why she's good at team fights? It's because of her basic attacks can pierce and channel or poke multiple enemies, and because of that her ultimate cooldown gets reduced so fast.
If I was the def... Right click cool down should be 5 secs and E should only be 10. Buff long range drop off up to 30 pts, speed up her "reload" or increase the number of shots to 16.
She’s definitely not as weak as everyone thinks she is. Just playing around with her in the practice range, you can see that it’s not that she’s bad, it’s that she’s complicated. I honestly think once Hela gets a nerf, we’ll see people start branching out more. My favorite character in the game is Black Panther, but what’s the point in playing him (or any other dps for that matter) when you can just pick Hela and do the same damage as a full dash reset combo in 2 left clicks that are also hitscan?
Her utility and ult are good, but her regular damage still sucks, the fact that actual supports can down an enemy faster than Storm, the fact that Cloak and Dagger, Mantis, and arguably Luna Snow have a higher damage burst and better mobility than an Omega level mutant is insane.
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.

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.
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
They need to increase her overall speed and she would feel way better to play.
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.
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.
Bro playing storm like hela 🙏🏾 GGS
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
Ben killin it as storm per usual! also HUGE W on all the views!
the neon white music at 8:30 was a pleasant surprise :)
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
Mighty fine work! Been really enjoying Strom lately, good to see she can work even in high elo lobbies.
I love Storm, hopefully she gets some buffs. Also nice video!
SURELY she will get some help 🙏
4:05 whats with the “i suck”?😂
I think she’s saying ice up but idk
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
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.
What a dream to go from being a fan of seagul to dog walking him with storm of all characters lmao
Gonna be the next team captain
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.
this vid is actually nicely made
I appreciate this so much. Thank you
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
My guy had as much impact on those games as i did 😂
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
I love playing storm just so hilarious watching characters like wolverine try to jump you but barely miss
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.
dude your movement is so good. I can see why you slap with Storm. ggwp
thanks so much!!
does anybody know if they have buffed or nerfed any characters so far in this game??
What vertical and horizontal sensitivity settings do you have for her?
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 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.
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!
ok that wolverine grab failing to kill u is actually bs LMAO
i have a feeling she'll be very strong with human torch team up coming up, definitely gonna give her another shot
Crazy i got this video after encountering an insane storm in my last rank match
Any idea what buffs or changes you think Storm needs?
I been mainly gravitating towards her movement that she needs to be grounded like everyone else with the option to levitate like Dr.Strange.
One thing I would love is faster projectiles
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.
You can never deny, the greatness of Sonic soundtracks. 😌 I hear it right in the background.
So this is why I’ve had a terrible storm in every game today 😂
As a Plat1 storm main, this vid made me happy :D
*leaps through portal*
BY THE EYE...
*dies*
im so glad someone else plays storm
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.
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.
To play storm, you require brain, which is something that eighty percent of marvel rivals players just lack. Lol
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!
My favorite Storm player
thanks cutie
Have to remember to keep that E activated, free damage. Also, on lightning when enemies are close though the wind slows enemies.
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
five game winstreak after picking up storm, i swear she's stronger than i had expected, and alot of fun to play too!
I saw something about storm doing piercing damage, so lining them up would let you hit them all at once.
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.
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.”
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 :)
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
I love playing underrated heroes.
Mosquito bite damage.
anyone know how strong is storm + mantis damage boost effect?
Mantis gives 12% with her E, and storm gives 8% with the thunder aura. If storm uses her E it bumps up to 12%, so the total would be 20-24% depending.
Inspired storm under goddess boost is 42% damage boost, so her basic does 70 (same as Hela which is hitscan and can headshot for 140 😢) and her bolt does 99
@zilliq-qz5uw Except this Season Hela's body shot is 84 and headshot's 168, cause she has a 20% damage bonus.
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.
wow can't believe you made her work
is there actual reason to ever use her speed mode during battle.. besides getting to the point a bit faster, or running away?
There’s never a reason not to have more mobility
The 30% slow on the enemies when using E is actually being slept on since people use her thunder E more for aoe lightning.
I recently got into storm so I resonate with this video
I'm genuinely interested in Storm. Gonna give her some time this weekend.
Tbh, shes not as bad as people think she is, she has one of the strongest ultimates and the team buffs she offers are pretty good.
She only needs more damage and shorter coldowns, but overall she is pretty solid
she defo needs a dmg buff she can not headshot she needs more dmg
Storm is good in team fight than solo que. After seeing some of the clips here. Reason why she's good at team fights? It's because of her basic attacks can pierce and channel or poke multiple enemies, and because of that her ultimate cooldown gets reduced so fast.
I dont see an OP storm i see top notch strategists in ya backline thats the real highlight of this video
If I was the def... Right click cool down should be 5 secs and E should only be 10. Buff long range drop off up to 30 pts, speed up her "reload" or increase the number of shots to 16.
Was playing storm all last night and the best way I can put it is if Lucio could fly and was a dps instead
Does her attack go thru strange shield as well?
That might be a bit too op haha, shields block her shots and they also block her ult cause it breaks line of sight
I think Storm needs to be reclassed. Maybe to a tank and just make her bigger? Or a support, increasing her support abilities.
i played so much storm in the beta, idk what it is but she just doesn't hit like she used to. I feel like she's just way too slow, ironically.
That Wolverine LOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 9:00
She’s definitely not as weak as everyone thinks she is. Just playing around with her in the practice range, you can see that it’s not that she’s bad, it’s that she’s complicated. I honestly think once Hela gets a nerf, we’ll see people start branching out more. My favorite character in the game is Black Panther, but what’s the point in playing him (or any other dps for that matter) when you can just pick Hela and do the same damage as a full dash reset combo in 2 left clicks that are also hitscan?
What's the point? You can prioritize fun/enjoyment and winning. You don't have to focus 100% on playing to minmax your winning chances.
I put numbers up as Storm, People just dont expect it- She is a midway between Dps and Support and people vastly underestimate it
4:40 why is that guy lying?
I think he just doesn't know how storm works, which is valid cause no one plays her lmao
Her utility and ult are good, but her regular damage still sucks, the fact that actual supports can down an enemy faster than Storm, the fact that Cloak and Dagger, Mantis, and arguably Luna Snow have a higher damage burst and better mobility than an Omega level mutant is insane.
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.
Storm is the only DPS where my team consistently wins in QP. Even my average of 27 kills /10 min psylocke can't carry most lobbies like my storm does.
Man you got some nice healers on your team
Hard to find good pair
I play support and I like the damage boost she gives, gives me that extra kick I need in those team fights.
