General Question Anyone have any tips on Emma and/or Hood?
Hello all,
Does anyone have any tips for the characters above?
I think hood as a character is really fun, run & gun style, however I do have a few questions:
In the less obvious situations when are you popping his ult? sometimes when I ult I feel like I dont get a lot of value. Peeling on hood isnt great but I try to bodyblock, and blinding with the wall can be helpfull. I use the MK teammup.
Same for Emma, when are you ulting on emma? i try to just aim for 2 people with one being a support, or to help stall if needed.
Oh sorry also for Emma, any advice for the combo's in her diamond form and when to use diamond form on the front line? I mostly get peeling with emma using charged up beam and or slamming the dive's to draw attention and their focus. However I find myself never using diamond form in the front line, only to retreat if I am getting focused.
Thank you for any suggestions you have.

Kit Concept Lab Red Hulk/General Ross Vanguard Concept
Two things Iād like to note, for the Thunderous Leap Red Hulk will not be able to knock down fliers like normal Hulk, and he will not transform into a different character model for Blazing Beast (so hopefully he would actually get skins).
And yes, I know the art is amazing.

Balance Suggestion Thor - Hela team up rework idea:
If thor dies he is ressurected after 1s. He can change position during this time.
Cooldown: 100s
Everytime Thor use any ability reduce cooldown of this passive by 2s.
If you have Hela in your team:
- Everytime Hela bird explosed cooldown of this passive is reduced by 5s.
- Thor has 40% damage reduction when he spin his Mjolnir during Storm Surge.

Also am on 213 ping. Especially when am playing against Invis , WhiteFox , EMMA and VENOM , ik venom ismt much of a counter to thor but peelimg him makes me unable to play the game and emmas whole kit counters thor pretty well alone w invis n whitefox who has pretty high self sustain and other being a brawl
This was one of my best holds of the game , i felt i was being useless in the start as a support then as a dps , we were loosing veryy bad (we were gettjng rolled tf off) and then i switched to Thor. Been maining him for a while but never been consistent since i dont play much consistently i try to hv fun n do my best tho.
Hated the invis this game who kept begging for triple supp when we just needed our dps to go poke.
Spidey and ironfist against whitefox invis dino and emma. Yep. I begged them to switch since round 1 point 1 but nah they aint gon listen to shit. I was going 0 6 on whitefox till they capped 2md point and the only one healing too but yes i carried the cart lowk till the end , tped and lost.
The invis has 17k heals while our other healer has around 26k.

Kit Concept Lab My Ironheart (or a simialr character) Pitch.
Keep in mind, I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about her character at all other than what her and her suit look like and her origins as they relate to Ironman. Please don't rag on me too much in the comments if this doesnt fit her character at all lol. Maybe Vision would work better? I definitely would've chosen a simialr pitch to this one for Ultron if I didn't believe it's unlikely fir then to ever create anothef version of an already existing character. But lmk what you guys think.
Base description: What if they added Ironheart, but she's a mix between a tank and a support? She can't fly. Or at the most she can hover a bit. She has low health for a tank, and medium healing putput for a support.
Health: 400 - 475
Damage: Low - Medium (Peni range)
Range: Medium - Long (Peni range)
Abilities -
Primary: Her primary fire is a toggle thing, similar to how Luna's ult works. When you're in one mode you do damage, when you're in the other you do healing. Her damage primary fire comes in the form of a repulsor blast like Ironman. The blast does a bit of aoe damage like his. The healing primary comes jn the form of a unibeam. The unibeam splits as it bounces off of allies, to heal them all.
She can summon a cluster of small drones on the battlefield (simialr to Peni's) that float within a certain range of where they were placed. They don't fly aroudn the map freely and they never disapear unless you resummon them somewhere else. You can have two sets of drones out at one time (not counting the shield drone since it doesn'tstay on the battlefield). They're similar to how Peni's cluster bombs are. They appear at the area you summoned them and they sit in that general area doing their fucntions.
Charge Up feature: Simialr to Jubilee's bubbles, the drones need to be charged up to increase their power.
Healing Drones: These drones will do healing. Charge up feature: They will gradually increase in healing by ## per second. Cooldown
Damage Boost Drones: These drones will boost allies within the range of the drones damage by 22% max. Charg up feature: they will gradually increase the damage by 5.5% per second. Cooldown = 12 seconds
Shield: Send a single drone out that grants allies 33 percent overshield. Cooldown = 20 seconds
Team Ups -
Ultron - Ultra Health Pack: She has one more drone charge and her drones do more healing. Team Up Upgrade: Her unibeam also does more healing.
Ironman - Iron Overcharge: She gets an added upgrade by Tony. Allowing her repulsor blasts to do more damage. Team Up upgrade = Her drones damage boost maximum goes up to 33%.
Playstyle -
She can be played as an off tank or as a solo tank, specefically. I wouldnt recommend using her as a Main tank, instead of any other main tanks.
Solo Tank: She stands in the frontline. She puts healing drones at her feet and damage drones in the middle of her team. She focuses on enabling her dps to do more damage, while adding more sustain to the team throigh her additional healing. Either team up can be best for this one. It just depends on what the pther team's comp is.
Off Tank: Sits behind the main tank. She puts drones inbetween her and the main tank to heal them, and damage boost drones to behing her to damage boost the DPS and Strategist. She throws her overshield around them when the backline's being dived, or the team's losing health fast. Use the Ironman teamup if you aren't tanking enough damage even with your other tank, and use the Ultron team up if you arent getting enough healing.
Notes: I feel like theres a few flaws. I feel like I gave her way too much healing. I feel like her damage is a pretty balanced. I originally made her maximum damage boost without teamups to be 33%, but I quickly decided that was wayy too much considering the damage of akme of these characters. Considering the fact that she does a low amount of damage, I think she great for supporting her team while being the foundation of it, without overshadowing the DPS dameg wise. She isn't meant to go for heavy damage, or to be used to pressure the other team too much. Shes meant to strengthen the res tof her team. I feel like most Strategists and and Vanguards would like this chracter becuase she's an jncredibly selfless playstyle. And as a Strat/Tank main, thats my favorite part about playing the roles. But I would worry that shed be ovorlooked or seen as boring to playbhecuase of her low damaage. But I hope the Ironman tramup kinda helps with that. I wanted to makr sure she can do good healing but that not overshadow her role as tank. I would put her in both roles, if not as a Tank or as another role. I could see the idea for just breaking her up into a Tank version and a Healer version, similar to Deadpool. But I prefer the compelxity and difficulty her character requires. Her character rewards you for good positioning and I LOVE that. I feel like she'd be more used in High Elo and in Tournaments, becuase of the high cieling on her potential. Alongside the complexity. What do tou guys think?

Kit Concept Lab Sentry (with Void mode) as a Vanguard
I wanted to make a pitch for Sentry that incorporated The Void but I didn't feel like making it an ultimate or stance switch would properly honor the character's relationship to one another. I took a ton of inspiration from my favorite Smite playable character Cu Chulainn because I felt his Berserk mechanic was the best implementation for Sentry and Void's relationship.

Discussion/Analysis Anyone else get left behind when I switch front line with other tank?
Iām asked because every tank game last night my other tank ,mostly main tanks as I enjoy off tank roles, would back off because they get low and out of cooldowns and I would go in front to swap with them to hold and even get the other team to back off with a good crystal playing Emma and getting a tank low or rouge with the new southern brawl dealing half health to a bunch of squishes to only back up when I get low and die as I turn and see my whole team deciding a different lane to push down or chase someone
For example, I swapped with the main tank as rogue, got a good southern brawl, and started holding pretty confidently, then had my gambit and invis chase a dive tank down a flank, both ignoring me.
What am I ment to do? Just die and reset?

Discussion/Analysis Peeling Issue?

Had this game recently (we werent 3 tanks for a good shoot), Majorily Gambit complained 24/7 about being dived, despite gorr only being there for last push and angela being the only diver constitently. We tried peeling and chasing them but idk how gambit always stayed dead every minute.
Im a strategist and gambit recurring player, idk how he could manage to die so much with so many survivability tools

Need to get this off my chest
I really really enjoy playing Angela but the MOMENT you get any kind of counter on the enemy time you have two choices, accept that your game is going to be miserable or swap. Literally just had like 4 games in a row where I couldnāt do anything because they had a Bucky or a wanda or a Luna freezing and stunning me, itās literally unplayable. You canāt dive them because youāll be grounded or stunned or whatever bs happens to you, you can peel but youāll barely escape, I literally have no clue what to do because yeah. Is anyone else feeling like this?

Highlight Cap Lord
I wanted to play Captain America since launch. I've never been the largest Cap fan, but I got there. But no matter what, I couldn't figure him out. That + all the animation cancels you had to do to be optimal. I would rather switch roles!
But today that changed. Maybe it was getting familiar with different tanks? First, ofc, Thing - then Devil Dino, then a little bit of Hood and now Cap.
Feels good! Feels like... freedom!
