The movement boost is much better to support melee characters as they chase. Especially with the movement slow on enemies. Some comps seem to support thunder better while others support tornado
Without goddess boost her movement speed and damage boost for allies is 8%…. And to herself it’s 16% so it’s barely noticeable. Her thunder shock also needs to do something other than just dmg for it to be a useful ability imo. Maybe have it reduce the cd of her active cooldowns? Or maybe have it give her buffs depending on what state she’s in, like increased air control while in speed and a greater dmg boost to herself if in thunder
I find her extremely underwhelming. Most of the time you dont have a slot for a sudo support thats so easily answerable by most of the good characters. Having to go upclose for her ult will get you killed most of the time and he repositioning is just sad. When you get caught as Iron Man at least you can quickly run away. Man she just gets outclassed its sad
Being in the Air is amazing defense against melee characters, like Iron Fist. They can't kill you if they can't hit you. This game need more in the Air all the time Heroes. I'm a peacock you got a let me fly.
You missed too things, wind aura and how auras work, you need to be class to the ground. Damage wise… yeah, you only got thunder bolt and thunder aura.
The answer: No. You are a clay pigeon. I feel genuinely bad when I see a storm on the enemy team because it's a free kill. Even headshotting as storm isn't enough to kill even a support. Your projectiles move so slow that when i'm hit by a storm all it does to me is alert me a free kill is in the area. It's sad. Storm got mad disrespected. She's one of my favorites. Discount Lucio.
Use lightning aura and goddess boost. Stick to cover and use your flight to avoid melee characters. She needs a buff but she's far from a free kill if played right
well you can’t headshot with her so… also if you land two autos on a squishy you can use your right click and just kill them. it’s a lil tricky as first but you just need practice
I know people are telling me how to play her in the replies but I ain't gonna play her. I'm just gonna enjoy the free kills. You can say theoretically how she *could* get kills but... I'm at 18.9 hours and i've yet to see a storm get a kill. Matter of fact i've only seen about 4 storms total in those hours. Pick Storm and sweatlord it up to be half as effective... Or just play Mantis who can outdps storm and is a better support lol. I get the "Support DPS" they were trying for but... Mantis already fits that role better.
I think she's fine but needs a few tweaks. I think she needs less damage falloff because it's barely larger than her storm. And I think she needs her flight altered to move in relation to the ground not your cursor. If you aim down, she currently flies down, so moving at one altitude while shooting is very challenging. But yes, in her current state, she's very frustrating to play, as much as I like her type of character in games.
ever since she was first shown off ive wanted a rework. she has the potential to be very strong but her abilities are just so disappointing. not a full damage kit, underwhelming team buffs. shes half duelist half strategist. i would love to see her control powerful winds to break the environment and dislodge enemies, or incorporate ice and rain to hamper movement
She needs aoe skills that linger like moon knight. She's awful as she is right now, and I'm saying that with love as a Storm fan. If they really want to push her to be a dps support, give her a more denial/soft cc or wider aoe debuff as well, such as impaired vision for the enemy from fog or decreaes atk speed and animation from snow.
I really like playing as Storm but I can’t help but feel like they should have added a snow option maybe to boost defense or something, or more buffs in general because speed and damage boosts don’t seem like enough sometimes
I think a big change she needs that makes her feel weaker than she should is her falloff damage starts at 15m. That's barely larger than the storm around her. Her damage is only half at 30m and that's about where she feels like she should be played in the 20-40m area, but she does so much less damage there.
I think all of his videos are deliberately gassing the characters up. There's nothing wrong with that, but "Should you play Storm" is misleading. I think of the series more as "Why I like X hero"
Storm is by far the worst hero I have played so far. She is awkwardly placed in between a duellist and a strategist and results in her being unable to excel at either.
yeah I definitely get what you mean, she's not necessarily bad I think but she's definitely not good. The meta is shaping out to 3 dps 1 tank being quite good so I think she should be great there
Her damage and speed boosts definitely need an increase. With her speed boost, walking from spawn to objective w/boost might legitimatly be 1-2 seconds faster than without. I've had my team arrive after the other team at point. Her damage boost is unnoticeable, I only use that aura for the lightning bolts and because speed is useless. And having her flight so slow makes her weak, as there's no cover in the air, so flying more than five feet off the ground will give you the same effectiveness of walking in the middle of objective: nothing to hide behind, and strafing is ineffective because again, youre so slow that even if you didn't even touch your controller, aim assist would keep a perfect track on you. Plus, theres characters, like Iron Fist, Wolverine, Spiderman, who are literally melee characters, yet they were given so much mobility they could literally come to you at the top of the skybox and kill you. And you can't run because again, you're so slow its like you're just walking away from them: theres no point. I love the character. But damn she's ass.
As a storm main I think she should have a team up with luna snow that adds a snow ability, and I think it should like heal so she could also go more into that support role. Because right now I feel like she is just not keeping up with the damage other charcters can put out.
You get infinite fly so ranged opponents have to stop firing down choke points to fire at you, you get better angles to constantly throw down supressing fire, the damage boost lightning power can be pretty devastating if timed properly, and you can melt the entire team with your ULT. Stop hating on Storm.
Bruh her ultimate is by many including me considered the best ultimate in the game. I can't even count the number of times that a well placed Omega Hurricane decided a team fight and won us the game.
There are So many other better ultimates on other better characters. Her ult gives supports time to counter . And doesn’t kill fast enough. Has a long duration tho which is good. But easily countered.
they called it the wrong name for sure lol that’s a tornado she’s doing 😂and said to say it’s nun omega about it like why are these street level characters stronger than her I don’t understand
A tip I discovered: when activating Goddess Boost while in lightning mode, any enemy in her range will instantly take damage. If you switch to it from wind mode, you won't get that.
As a mainly support player, I've also found that Storm might be my favorite DPS. I was never sure if I'm just playing her really badly, because my DPS was kinda crap. But I still was able to kill enemies decently well, while giving my team buffs. It's really fun.
I’ve been playing Storm in Comp. She’s the reason that I’m Gold now. I feel like Storm is a situational Hero. U need to have a good team. Her ULT is a game changer if your team can do follow ups then you guys will be fine.
She definitely needs a buff in her normal movement speed. Even with the wind buff your a sitting duck. Even behind cover most heroes can flank her so quickly it’s almost laughable.
Storm shouldve been a strategist. Marvel Rivals made a critical mistake by giving all the strategists some sort of healing, so now they’re stuck with the same problem other RPGs have with support characters. Now there are going to be characters perfect as a support but the devs will refuse to put that in that role because there are no heals. People forget supports are not defined by team healing, but by team UTILITY. Thats the origins of the support role in the tank-damage-support trifecta from when rpgs were starting to get popular.
She is very weak rite now, she can replace a tank in some situations but generally she isn't needed to win games. 1 tank 3 dps(with storm) and 2 healers is my recommended comp until they buff her.
That team-up with Thor helps with an extra ability that does some damage. But I agree, have to be smart with her because flying also makes your supports or the enemy team not able to see you either.
I've been getting a lot of success with her, been one tricking her and absolutely love it It does suck getting outperformed by basically every other Duelist for less effort, but honestly she's so fun I don't care Got 6 MVP matches in a row today so I'm not exactly complaining, but I think they should give a slight buff to her Tornado stance, like 20/10 intead of 16/8 at base (numbers pulled from their website) and maybe a 20% slow instead of 15%? I do find I use primarily Thunder stance because she really needs the extra damage sometimes in order to keep up Also I'm surprised she has damage falloff on her Wind Blades, maybe removing that would help her out?
I’ve been playing a lot of Storm, she’s my fav chatacter so far but she’s kinda weak compared to others. Her speed boost is not that great and she is incredibly slow anyway, her damage is decent tho. Already have 3 hours with her 😊
What settings and mic do you use? I've been trying to get my quality of my mic to sound crispier and I got a blue yeti but it still sounds like the quality sounds 480p...
I love storm. Most people dont utilize her right. Her main attack has no range fall off and if used at ground level can go through targets. She is great for ranged group fight pressure, and her thunder move in team fighting does great AOE damage every 2.5 seconds. Constantly get team wipes. Also, her lightning move had great range and can hit multiple people at once.
No one's gun has damage fall off dude there's almost zero reason to play this character over literally any other dps. She has a harder time killing people than mantis a character that can at least heal people and give a damage buff
No damage, no speed, is actually a strategist, slow projectile speed, iron fist can just glue himself to you, and an ult bot. She is good with a team, but she is boring to play, and useless without a team.
@alexnice2221 Scarlet can with her primary attack, while iron fist can triple jump up to you and you aren't fast enough to get away from his target lock so he will keep attacking you, even if you fly higher.
i’ve never had a problem with a iron fist with her. it’s actually fun seeing him jump up to me just to get disintegrated in 2 seconds. hit scan and scalett scare me more.
She needs less damage falloff. For a character emphasizing being able to fly, her damage falloff happens very fast. Just a few steps outside of her circle. It's crazy how close it is. 15m for you training room gurus. And her flight is awkward. She moves in relation to the cursor instead of just forward and backward. So if you want to fly straight and aim down, you need to press jump or crouch a lot while shooting. I want her flight to stay vertical so if I'm at a certain elevation I can keep it and only change when I want to instead of doing the zigzag dance. I also think for her ult, she can afford to have like 100% increased move speed AFTER it ends for like 3s because she has to go melee and if you don't get everyone you're basically just giving yourself on a silver platter since she isn't a tank and has no sustain Also for her aoe buff numbers it's Wind (tornado): 16% speed buff to self 8% speed to allies Enhanced Tornado: 40% self 20% allies -15% enemies Thunder: 16% self damage boost 8% ally boost Enhanced Thunder: 30% self 12% ally 2s per damage strike at 35 damage
I sent a suggestion like this: I would like to suggest working over storm's kit. While in it's current state it fits PERFECTLY to her theme as a character (as in xmen she is prominently seen aiding allies, controlling the field with wind and using aoe lightning), she feels relatively weak in terms of dmg potential and mobility. Her main attack pierces and that's great, but it deals too little damage for a skill that has a travel time, I would suggest eiher increasing it's damage or maknig it a hit scan rather than a projectile. I woudl also suggest buffng her aura the damage version, perhaps give it the aie damage every few second passively, but make it do far less damage when not empowered with her 'E'. Lastly I would give her a new 'F' skill, if you want it to be more interactive, the 'F' skill can change depending on her aura. During wind aura it could be a mid air dash with 1-2 charges for mobiltiy, and during damaging aura it could serve to call down lightning once, thus giving her more control and an active play feature over her core aura ability. Changes I suggested serves to alter storm without removing or changing her kit so much but rather polish and futher put emphasis on her key feature, like her aura. By making the new 'F' skill's function change depending on her aura, you would also make it so that player has to make a genuine choice between mobility and damage. As it stands right now in live game, even with the empowered wind aura your movement is so slow that you do not even need to really use it..and most of the divers, ESPECIALLY iron fist and spidermand tends to eat you alive before you can do anything. to marvel rivals, probably won't be seen even but who knows..I just want storm to be better...
I think you're pretty much spot on with everything and those are pretty cool suggestions. I think her aoe should always slow, not only while goddess boost is out to give her more utility. I do agree her blades should either be able to crit or be hitscan, piercing hitscan but no crit could be really cool though. Her damage boost overall feels fine for me, she works super well with characters like hela and hawkeye or moon knight already cause they just pump out damage and the increase is like 8/12% which is pretty nice, maybe bump it to 10/15 if you're feeling it I think. I also just read while looking up how much it was its a 16/30% boost on her self like holy shit she just does 0 damage while in speed up is the thing, so you either have 0 mobility while in damage to do comparable (not even really) dps, or you have still pretty ass mobility and less damage than average... yeah not amazing
Very unpopular character that feels like she has some truly unwinnable matchups like vs scarlet witch, spiderman, widow, iron fist, and a couple others, but if you play well with cover she just buffs her whole team to do crazy stuff
@@FlareIsGoneher buffs barely make a difference. Concept wise she’s powerful, but current gameplay wise her flight speed is way too slow and her “buff” numbers are way too low. She needs a stat increase across the board to be viable.
Storm happens to be one of my favorite marvel characters ever, shes a literal badass in comics. But im just so sad that in this game she literally has no mobility, her wind boost is useless. As a marvel character that is said to be one of the most powerful, needs a rework and buff. Im sorry, i love this character but her in this game... i just can't😓
Just sit back and farm your ult and boost up some of your teammates damage then become the scariest character in the game for like 5 seconds. I'm not sure how you aren't in love with her ult. You use that, pop your enhanced damage aura along with your lightning bolt afterwards and you are an actual terror. I'm not calling out you specifically here but honestly a lot of the complaints I see about Storm to amount to some degree of "skill issue" with her primary fire. At long range it's basically impossible to specifically target people but you can definitely hit more than one character at a time with them, however once you get within around the range your aura has and a bit farther you need to be able to hit most of your shots.
They should change the lighting bolt hitsacan into being similar to chain lightiting so bolt rusha and spread to any near characters as well. Think the Emperor from Star Wars Battlefront
people asking for a storm buff don’t understand her playstyle😭 Her full damage output is not immediately visible because she buffs her teammates. I like storm because shes unique honestly. As a person who normally plays strategist I prefer to divide my dps between my teammates instead of having all my value be decided by whether or not im playing perfectly
She should have a different basic attack in lightning mode. Something burst and close range..thats the minimum id like to see but honestly i am very disappointed with her. Not representative of her at all.
I won't lie i tried her once and now shes all i use, am i getting MVPs like i did with other characters? nope, but my goodness that damage boost she gives teammates is perfect. Im just in it to win haha, plus that ult is fun to use
I've been playing Storm since start and I agree that she needs a serious buff...but I'm pretty decent with her? Sure I could be better, but if you know how to react with her, you can get kills. My KD ratio is til high up in the percentile. One way (which is a lame way) is just using barriers and walls to shield you and just peek around corners. Your tornado also has an insanely ridiculous range to cast at. I can be far from a team fight but somehow can still reach with my ulti. When she gets buff, people will most likely start complaining she's OP. That's competitive multiplayer online games 😂
Do you have fun playing her? Yes = you should play Storm No = maybe try someone else. While not the strongest character in the game right now, I've found she can be fun. She moves like I wished Zen did and without the responsibility of healing. A few things: Stay low, your effect radius is larger and your primary fire pierces multiple enemies so it's better to attack horizontally. Using your movement buff more is good too, then switch to thunder during fights. Don't use your boost in wind mode imho.. while using thunder you'll do an AOE blast (remember what I said about staying low?) that does tick damage afterwards. Good for those pesky squishes you can't hit with your primary fire cause your aim sucks Jk jk. "She's a sitting duck while flying" yes, I feel the ability to simply drop would be great, (you don't need to be a mutant to wield the power of gravity) but again STAY LOW. If you go high make it quick, and move by cover which brings us to... Her ult.. Gonna say, disagree with your take here. IMHO it's one of the most powerful in the game currently. I find it effective to flank around using her mobility, then drop a tornado in their back lines while my team pushes in, boost with your thunder shock like Pikachu and you've got a fairly reliable team wipe. She does feel a bit slow, and yes certain characters counter her fairly easy, but that's kinda how these games work.. if their team picks hero X and I know hero Y is a counter, it makes sense to play hero Y. But the person who was playing hero X knows hero Z is a good counter to hero Y and switches.. or doesn't and dies repeatedly all while screaming at the supports like an idiot. As far as "she's so much more powerful in the comics" uh yeah, she's an Omega level mutant and if they scaled the heros to their comic level powers.. Firstly, that would be amazing.. secondly, it would be even more insanely imbalanced. Anyways, I think that covers what I wanted to add.. I've been having fun playing her, but maybe you won't and that's cool. Main thing is if you're not playing comp, then just play who you're having fun playing as.. it's just a game. ✌️
Im not gonna lie the first Hero i played was storm and immediately made me hate the game. Im still playing and learning stuff but it insantly put me in a "league of legends" mindset where i understand the devs are just gonna ruin characters before i can even get into a match to complain about. The only reason to play storm is if you like black women or youre so good you like trying to win with the worst options. It's horrid.
Absolutely love her,wanna main...BUT frickin' buff her,what the hell is that?Am i a conditioner or what?Why am i making enemies comfortable,not even moving they hair.I fly around like a balloon,1 flying by leaf and I'm dead.I get it, she's strategic,but what da hell i should do when everyone can kill me,and the only reasonable thing i can do is my ult.
I think theres definitely potential with the duelist/strategist playstyle but jesus this is not how to do it. Real shame cause wow she looks incredible and im enjoying playing her but she needs help/rework asap
People think she sucks because she cant solo carry but she will 100% be valuable in the meta for brawl comps. You just cant play her from the perspective of a solo carey damage dealer
storm is probably the worst character in the game, shes too slow and clunky when flying she just gets picked off instantly, her projectiles are slow and need to be led at range, her dps is incredibly low and her utility is basically non existent, if she had a new e like a self shield or somet and her current e was just made base kit she would be in a better place
Yea she’s too slow and also she needs a beam like attack like iron man as her projectiles are so hard to hit Needs a lightening beam or something like iron man’s ult fire or make her projectiles more like hela’s Her ult is her only good thing
Deadass no reason to play storm she cant headshot, no damage, speed boost doesn't give a "boost" at all she has to reload shooting WIND. Only thing good is her ult everything else needs a revamp right now. Literally just play iron man at that point
She definitely needs a buff in her normal movement speed. Even with the wind buff your a sitting duck. Even behind cover most heroes can flank her so quickly it’s almost laughable.
Her wind speed boost is so incredibly minor its legitimately almost impossible to tell if shes moving any faster at all
at the moment it's definitely hard to tell, it would be nice if they could buff it a little bit
yeah she moves at a snail's pace she feels very useless. her damage isn't that high and her movement feels absolutely miserable
The movement boost is much better to support melee characters as they chase. Especially with the movement slow on enemies. Some comps seem to support thunder better while others support tornado
Without goddess boost her movement speed and damage boost for allies is 8%…. And to herself it’s 16% so it’s barely noticeable.

Or maybe have it give her buffs depending on what state she’s in, like increased air control while in speed and a greater dmg boost to herself if in thunder
Ok glad I wasn't going crazy 😅

Man she just gets outclassed its sad
She has no mobility, she’s just a sitting duck in the air with no defence. And her damage isn’t all that.
It shouldn't stay in the air
Being in the Air is amazing defense against melee characters, like Iron Fist. They can't kill you if they can't hit you. This game need more in the Air all the time Heroes. I'm a peacock you got a let me fly.
@ you’re crazy dude. Iron fist has no problem attacking air characters. He can insane dashes to them.
@@Smith-rb1qf I seen a clip of a iron fist chasing down a speeding iron man. I don't think Iron fist has any problems with chasing air characters.
You missed too things, wind aura and how auras work, you need to be class to the ground. Damage wise… yeah, you only got thunder bolt and thunder aura.
The answer: No. You are a clay pigeon. I feel genuinely bad when I see a storm on the enemy team because it's a free kill. Even headshotting as storm isn't enough to kill even a support.

Pick Storm and sweatlord it up to be half as effective... Or just play Mantis who can outdps storm and is a better support lol.
I get the "Support DPS" they were trying for but... Mantis already fits that role better.
I hate hate playing so storm and she is the main reason I picked up the game she is my favorite superhero she needs a rework

If they really want to push her to be a dps support, give her a more denial/soft cc or wider aoe debuff as well, such as impaired vision for the enemy from fog or decreaes atk speed and animation from snow.
her right click should micro stun so it cancels channels like kassadin q in league at minimum
I really like playing as Storm but I can’t help but feel like they should have added a snow option maybe to boost defense or something, or more buffs in general because speed and damage boosts don’t seem like enough sometimes
Pick storm = throwing
She’s one of the coolest ones but she’s bad unfortunately
"Storm is not meant to be a damage character"
There is so much wrong with that sentence i dont know where to begin
She just needs a numerical buff. Like her support abilities could get a higher precent boost. Her main attack needs faster travel or a bigger hit box.
I think a big change she needs that makes her feel weaker than she should is her falloff damage starts at 15m. That's barely larger than the storm around her. Her damage is only half at 30m and that's about where she feels like she should be played in the 20-40m area, but she does so much less damage there.
@dinocharlie1 didn't know she had fall off
"Shes not good into the most played characters but... So what"
Is this paid for? Can you not just say she is bad?
I think all of his videos are deliberately gassing the characters up. There's nothing wrong with that, but "Should you play Storm" is misleading. I think of the series more as "Why I like X hero"
Storm needs a “push” ability.
Could easily add in a wind push.
Storm in theory is a control mage, but she doesn’t really feel like one.
Her right click should chain lightning on people in range would be so cool
Storm is by far the worst hero I have played so far. She is awkwardly placed in between a duellist and a strategist and results in her being unable to excel at either.
yeah I definitely get what you mean, she's not necessarily bad I think but she's definitely not good. The meta is shaping out to 3 dps 1 tank being quite good so I think she should be great there

oo like a hail ability

Something something overwatch supports all heal
good thing there's no roll lock so if someone wants to play storm they don't clog up a dps slot

Got 6 MVP matches in a row today so I'm not exactly complaining, but I think they should give a slight buff to her Tornado stance, like 20/10 intead of 16/8 at base (numbers pulled from their website) and maybe a 20% slow instead of 15%? I do find I use primarily Thunder stance because she really needs the extra damage sometimes in order to keep up
Also I'm surprised she has damage falloff on her Wind Blades, maybe removing that would help her out?
I’ve been playing a lot of Storm, she’s my fav chatacter so far but she’s kinda weak compared to others. Her speed boost is not that great and she is incredibly slow anyway, her damage is decent tho. Already have 3 hours with her 😊
I love that people dude know how to play Big Storm the right way. More kills for me.
Gg first time ever my mic is too quiet fuck
Mic volume seems fine but the music is a bit at odds imo maybe it'd just a bit to loud I'd say. Great video though!
What settings and mic do you use? I've been trying to get my quality of my mic to sound crispier and I got a blue yeti but it still sounds like the quality sounds 480p...
I love storm. Most people dont utilize her right. Her main attack has no range fall off and if used at ground level can go through targets. She is great for ranged group fight pressure, and her thunder move in team fighting does great AOE damage every 2.5 seconds. Constantly get team wipes. Also, her lightning move had great range and can hit multiple people at once.
No one's gun has damage fall off dude there's almost zero reason to play this character over literally any other dps. She has a harder time killing people than mantis a character that can at least heal people and give a damage buff
@@yamifalcon Go to practice mode and use characters at different ranges. They do have damage fall or don't hit at all while at certain ranges.
Cannot compete with many characters
This along with the Wolverine video is so great I would love to watch more of this typa thing!
No damage, no speed, is actually a strategist, slow projectile speed, iron fist can just glue himself to you, and an ult bot. She is good with a team, but she is boring to play, and useless without a team.
Not iron fist, Scarlet destroys her
@alexnice2221 Scarlet can with her primary attack, while iron fist can triple jump up to you and you aren't fast enough to get away from his target lock so he will keep attacking you, even if you fly higher.
i’ve never had a problem with a iron fist with her. it’s actually fun seeing him jump up to me just to get disintegrated in 2 seconds. hit scan and scalett scare me more.
@@shwaylake I don't know who you guys are getting. But the iron fist players in my games are absolute menaces.
She needs less damage falloff. For a character emphasizing being able to fly, her damage falloff happens very fast. Just a few steps outside of her circle. It's crazy how close it is. 15m for you training room gurus.
And her flight is awkward. She moves in relation to the cursor instead of just forward and backward. So if you want to fly straight and aim down, you need to press jump or crouch a lot while shooting. I want her flight to stay vertical so if I'm at a certain elevation I can keep it and only change when I want to instead of doing the zigzag dance.
I also think for her ult, she can afford to have like 100% increased move speed AFTER it ends for like 3s because she has to go melee and if you don't get everyone you're basically just giving yourself on a silver platter since she isn't a tank and has no sustain
Also for her aoe buff numbers it's
Wind (tornado):
16% speed buff to self
8% speed to allies
Enhanced Tornado:
40% self
20% allies
-15% enemies
Thunder:
16% self damage boost
8% ally boost
Enhanced Thunder:
30% self
12% ally
2s per damage strike at 35 damage
I reckon people are underrating her hard one so many team fights with the boosted damage boost
She really is just an ultbot at the moment its sad
I sent a suggestion like this:
I would like to suggest working over storm's kit. While in it's current state it fits PERFECTLY to her theme as a character (as in xmen she is prominently seen aiding allies, controlling the field with wind and using aoe lightning), she feels relatively weak in terms of dmg potential and mobility. Her main attack pierces and that's great, but it deals too little damage for a skill that has a travel time, I would suggest eiher increasing it's damage or maknig it a hit scan rather than a projectile.
I woudl also suggest buffng her aura the damage version, perhaps give it the aie damage every few second passively, but make it do far less damage when not empowered with her 'E'.
Lastly I would give her a new 'F' skill, if you want it to be more interactive, the 'F' skill can change depending on her aura. During wind aura it could be a mid air dash with 1-2 charges for mobiltiy, and during damaging aura it could serve to call down lightning once, thus giving her more control and an active play feature over her core aura ability.
Changes I suggested serves to alter storm without removing or changing her kit so much but rather polish and futher put emphasis on her key feature, like her aura. By making the new 'F' skill's function change depending on her aura, you would also make it so that player has to make a genuine choice between mobility and damage.
As it stands right now in live game, even with the empowered wind aura your movement is so slow that you do not even need to really use it..and most of the divers, ESPECIALLY iron fist and spidermand tends to eat you alive before you can do anything.
to marvel rivals, probably won't be seen even but who knows..I just want storm to be better...
I think you're pretty much spot on with everything and those are pretty cool suggestions. I think her aoe should always slow, not only while goddess boost is out to give her more utility. I do agree her blades should either be able to crit or be hitscan, piercing hitscan but no crit could be really cool though. Her damage boost overall feels fine for me, she works super well with characters like hela and hawkeye or moon knight already cause they just pump out damage and the increase is like 8/12% which is pretty nice, maybe bump it to 10/15 if you're feeling it I think. I also just read while looking up how much it was its a 16/30% boost on her self like holy shit she just does 0 damage while in speed up is the thing, so you either have 0 mobility while in damage to do comparable (not even really) dps, or you have still pretty ass mobility and less damage than average... yeah not amazing
They should give her a move where she surrounds herself with wind and it deflects the attacks
Heck yeah Flare glad to see you branch out to another game I play
Iron man > Storm. Iron mans AOE with his unibeam to wipe storm herself makes him much better.
I don’t think I’ve seen a storm in any of my games
Very unpopular character that feels like she has some truly unwinnable matchups like vs scarlet witch, spiderman, widow, iron fist, and a couple others, but if you play well with cover she just buffs her whole team to do crazy stuff
@@FlareIsGoneher buffs barely make a difference. Concept wise she’s powerful, but current gameplay wise her flight speed is way too slow and her “buff” numbers are way too low. She needs a stat increase across the board to be viable.
Storm happens to be one of my favorite marvel characters ever, shes a literal badass in comics. But im just so sad that in this game she literally has no mobility, her wind boost is useless. As a marvel character that is said to be one of the most powerful, needs a rework and buff. Im sorry, i love this character but her in this game... i just can't😓
Just sit back and farm your ult and boost up some of your teammates damage then become the scariest character in the game for like 5 seconds. I'm not sure how you aren't in love with her ult. You use that, pop your enhanced damage aura along with your lightning bolt afterwards and you are an actual terror. I'm not calling out you specifically here but honestly a lot of the complaints I see about Storm to amount to some degree of "skill issue" with her primary fire. At long range it's basically impossible to specifically target people but you can definitely hit more than one character at a time with them, however once you get within around the range your aura has and a bit farther you need to be able to hit most of your shots.
They should change the lighting bolt hitsacan into being similar to chain lightiting so bolt rusha and spread to any near characters as well. Think the Emperor from Star Wars Battlefront
You know whats better than a support DPS?
Another DPS.
they have cool ideas with her but she needs some buffs for sure
people asking for a storm buff don’t understand her playstyle😭 Her full damage output is not immediately visible because she buffs her teammates. I like storm because shes unique honestly. As a person who normally plays strategist I prefer to divide my dps between my teammates instead of having all my value be decided by whether or not im playing perfectly
I think she is super slept on I can easily end the game with the most kills in the lobby and in comp too
She should have a different basic attack in lightning mode. Something burst and close range..thats the minimum id like to see but honestly i am very disappointed with her. Not representative of her at all.
Her ult is the only thing that works in her whole kit, the rest u can dump in the trash. I Hope the devs give her a rework but keeping the ult.
Not a Storm main but liking the video for Bloody Tears.
Awesome guide! Can get away with a lot as the flying characters in this game! Also what was the first song in this guide btw? Awesome music choice
its from the smash ost, I seriously couldn't tell you you'd have to look throuhg the like 100 songs xd
Ult “Omega Hurricane”
Storm - transforms into a small“tornado”
Uhmm…ok
I won't lie i tried her once and now shes all i use, am i getting MVPs like i did with other characters? nope, but my goodness that damage boost she gives teammates is perfect. Im just in it to win haha, plus that ult is fun to use
Storm? More like Gust in this game
I've been playing Storm since start and I agree that she needs a serious buff...but I'm pretty decent with her? Sure I could be better, but if you know how to react with her, you can get kills. My KD ratio is til high up in the percentile. One way (which is a lame way) is just using barriers and walls to shield you and just peek around corners. Your tornado also has an insanely ridiculous range to cast at. I can be far from a team fight but somehow can still reach with my ulti. When she gets buff, people will most likely start complaining she's OP. That's competitive multiplayer online games 😂
Fingers crossed they buff her soon.
I really hate what has happened to Overwatch, and this game fits exactly into that same space for me; very happy to see more content of Rivals!
Put storm on the ground and give her a flight ability
Do you have fun playing her?
Yes = you should play Storm
No = maybe try someone else.
While not the strongest character in the game right now, I've found she can be fun. She moves like I wished Zen did and without the responsibility of healing.
A few things:
Stay low, your effect radius is larger and your primary fire pierces multiple enemies so it's better to attack horizontally. Using your movement buff more is good too, then switch to thunder during fights.
Don't use your boost in wind mode imho.. while using thunder you'll do an AOE blast (remember what I said about staying low?) that does tick damage afterwards. Good for those pesky squishes you can't hit with your primary fire cause your aim sucks Jk jk.
"She's a sitting duck while flying" yes, I feel the ability to simply drop would be great, (you don't need to be a mutant to wield the power of gravity) but again STAY LOW. If you go high make it quick, and move by cover which brings us to...
Her ult.. Gonna say, disagree with your take here. IMHO it's one of the most powerful in the game currently. I find it effective to flank around using her mobility, then drop a tornado in their back lines while my team pushes in, boost with your thunder shock like Pikachu and you've got a fairly reliable team wipe.
She does feel a bit slow, and yes certain characters counter her fairly easy, but that's kinda how these games work.. if their team picks hero X and I know hero Y is a counter, it makes sense to play hero Y. But the person who was playing hero X knows hero Z is a good counter to hero Y and switches.. or doesn't and dies repeatedly all while screaming at the supports like an idiot.
As far as "she's so much more powerful in the comics" uh yeah, she's an Omega level mutant and if they scaled the heros to their comic level powers.. Firstly, that would be amazing.. secondly, it would be even more insanely imbalanced.
Anyways, I think that covers what I wanted to add.. I've been having fun playing her, but maybe you won't and that's cool. Main thing is if you're not playing comp, then just play who you're having fun playing as.. it's just a game. ✌️
The answer is "no". Shes trash.
Yes guys pick Storm so the rest of us is enjoying some free kills.
Im not gonna lie the first Hero i played was storm and immediately made me hate the game. Im still playing and learning stuff but it insantly put me in a "league of legends" mindset where i understand the devs are just gonna ruin characters before i can even get into a match to complain about. The only reason to play storm is if you like black women or youre so good you like trying to win with the worst options. It's horrid.
You didn’t talk about her team up synergy thing which is weird because isn’t it a big deal for her?
Team ups are w/e I mean I can talk about them if people want but they're not happening every game so it's not like it matters that much
can't wait for you to play winter soldier
Absolutely love her,wanna main...BUT frickin' buff her,what the hell is that?Am i a conditioner or what?Why am i making enemies comfortable,not even moving they hair.I fly around like a balloon,1 flying by leaf and I'm dead.I get it, she's strategic,but what da hell i should do when everyone can kill me,and the only reasonable thing i can do is my ult.
I think theres definitely potential with the duelist/strategist playstyle but jesus this is not how to do it. Real shame cause wow she looks incredible and im enjoying playing her but she needs help/rework asap
Ive been playing with her and have to say I like her. And I play lower to the ground so I can get heals because randoms suck at healing 😂😂😂
People think she sucks because she cant solo carry but she will 100% be valuable in the meta for brawl comps. You just cant play her from the perspective of a solo carey damage dealer
That's what I'm saying, 3 dps 1 tank seems to be very strong so buffing your team is invaluable
Her ULT is cool, I guess
storm is probably the worst character in the game, shes too slow and clunky when flying she just gets picked off instantly, her projectiles are slow and need to be led at range, her dps is incredibly low and her utility is basically non existent, if she had a new e like a self shield or somet and her current e was just made base kit she would be in a better place
Yea she’s too slow and also she needs a beam like attack like iron man as her projectiles are so hard to hit
Needs a lightening beam or something like iron man’s ult fire or make her projectiles more like hela’s
Her ult is her only good thing
Or she can just have a complete rework
she need rework when she can just drop on the ground and walk
Deadass no reason to play storm she cant headshot, no damage, speed boost doesn't give a "boost" at all she has to reload shooting WIND. Only thing good is her ult everything else needs a revamp right now. Literally just play iron man at that point
Is it just me or is storm slow asf? Especially for a character whos ability is a speed boost.
Are people really turning up in the comments just to rag on Storm?
Yea because she’s underpowered
yeah yeah now tell people why they should play healers
its hard cause they're all boring as fuck
Cloak and dagger are super fun @@FlareIsGone
@@FlareIsGoneThor too. Every character feels so unique but that means it takes a bit before they start feeling natural to play imo
@@FlareIsGonenah, Luna is really fun. Can snipe people with her shift
Why she has jiggle physics 😭
they all do lmfao
Damage boost is weak af
Play whoever you want to. Don’t be a meta slave
Nobody wants to be a loser
Shes a good character, idk why people have trash aim and then say shes bad
@@Magmaticin meta in hero shooter will always be a cope for a skill issue and I can’t be convinced otherwise.
Dislike simply for the ult comments. Her ult is perfect and amazing. If you wanna cry about an ult like this; cry about scarlet witches dogshit ult.
Her ult is bad but it's not like the worst in the game but it's still not even top half
Nah iron man exists
Definitely the WORST character in this game. She is so useless. I planned on maining her. Needs a rework. Iron man is better.
No
The answer is yes
Is this an Overwatch mod ?
I say this because it looks like one .
what's overwatch?
Storm sucks
She definitely needs a buff in her normal movement speed. Even with the wind buff your a sitting duck. Even behind cover most heroes can flank her so quickly it’s almost laughable.
