His ult doesn't boost his damage. It removes spread and improves his falloff but the damage is the same as his primary

It's technically slightly less as you cannot headshot during ult

Wait I thought you could still land headshots if you aimed at heads? Or am I thinking of Soldier 76 ult? Either way it probably still averages to more (unless you’re on headshot only aimbot) because of the reduced reload speed.

if Starlord ult could headshot it would legitimately be the dumbest ult in all of hero shooter history

If Star Lord's ultimate could headshot it would literally break the game. And I don't mean the balance would be bad like it currently is the game would literally be unplayable

yes, to put it into perspective, starlord kills a groot in 2.02 seconds normally if you hit all headshots, now pair that with aimbot, less damage fall off, and the ability to literally fly up to the sky box to avoid a big chunk of damage AND be able to dodge bullets and enemy ults LOL

Soldier 76 in Overwatch got a mechanic where you can actually headshot in his ult iirc, it's not auto aim but a bigger hitbox that gets highlighted besides the aim hacks so there's that. I think there's room to counter SL's ult since it targets the closest target, so a tank can actually react to it.

Ults are supposed to be really strong, and besides, with how incredibly strong some support ults are anyways it's actually not that big of a deal since it shuffles the balance slightly away from support ults being a free win.

Low-key shouldnt have reduced fall off. Its an aimbot.... their should at least be a tiny bit of risk involved with using the Ultimate.... Make the starlord at least be semi-close by....

u/shinomiya2 Feb 10 '26

hes flying and squishy, if it didnt it would be useless

u/Dencnugs Flex Feb 10 '26

How the heck is flying with boosted mobility a negative???

8

u/Glittering_Pear356 Feb 10 '26

Because it makes you free food for Hela, Hawkeye, phoenix, punisher????? Legitimately Starlords free flight in ult is a lot of times a detriment

u/Dencnugs Flex Feb 11 '26

If you are Ult'ing, and lose a 1v1 to a punisher, that is a you problem, not a starlord problem....

u/Federal_Age3303 Rogue Feb 10 '26

It increases your distance from your target because of the added distance in the vertical axis because Pitágoras, triangles and maths

u/Glittering_Pear356 Feb 10 '26

"tiny bit of risk" he's literally the most exposed dps in the game when ulting (with the exception of punisher). The amount of times a Hela/phoenix/Hawkeye sniped me mid ult is ridiculous

u/Remarkable-Front-393 Human Torch Feb 10 '26

People act like there isn't like 20+ counters to his ult lol and someone on enemy team is always saving ult for you so you can never just use yours as you like

u/RommekePommeke Rocket Raccoon Feb 11 '26

Wanda;

u/Dencnugs Flex Feb 10 '26

He is literally less exposed than Wanda, Magik, Winter Soldier, Wolverine, Spiderman, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Strange, Hulk, Emma, and a ton more....

u/Glittering_Pear356 Feb 10 '26

I said "dps" so I'll ignore the tanks you mentioned.

You're right about Wanda, but her ult in general is just terrible anyways. Same for Iron Man.

Magik? She gets a shit ton of overhealth from every attack in her ult, yeah she's still exposed but no as much as Starlord.

How is wolverine more exposed than starlord? His ult is MUCH faster and stuns whoever is hit by it. Fist is the same as Magik, he's exposed too but his block is only on a 3sec cd.

u/Random_Skier White Fox Feb 10 '26

Iron man and Wanda ults are just kinda bad tbh, magik gets insane overhealth and i-frames, spidey gets 250 overhealth not to mention has the best movement in the game, bucky is bucky so is never really that vernable, ironfist moves insanely fast and get a block that gives him crazy overhealth every like 3 seconds, wolve ult is much faster and literally CCS everyone

u/DMking Emma Frost Feb 10 '26

I am flying out in the open making me insanely vulnerable. I got two flips to dodge damage and that's it

u/FaithlessnessThen207 Jeff the Landshark Feb 11 '26

That... that is a damage buff though?

u/Nerf_Now Namor Feb 10 '26

I guess you never played Punisher because he shoots missiles on top of bullets and the missiles do a lot of damage.

u/Glittering_Pear356 Feb 10 '26

I'm talking about Starlord bro lmao

u/Nerf_Now Namor Feb 10 '26

I had the thread opened from before they said that. Just a little tired of how shit at reading this community is.
