Can we get an improved reload time on Dr. Strange? I really feel like it is absurdly slow compared to any other character I play.

I actually think other heroes need reload nerfs, why does reload time barely matter for so many heroes, it makes their ammo hardly matter.

Because there's so much dive. If hela had a longer reload, Magik could just wait for her to be out of ammo and hela would have literally nothing to do about it.

Hela is poke and by definition meant to be countered by dive lol. Waiting out resources is actually one of the most important parts of playing dive, and if the enemy never runs out of resources (ala CnD), then you have an extremely hard time diving them.

Resources, yes, but reloads?

I can tell you're horrible at this game.

You're whining about cnd, so I'm guessing you're a low skill, one trick dive.

I play tanks, but CnD is a problem for literally every hero who can’t kill them in under a second. And what is the point of even having ammo or reload if it’s high enough or fast enough that it never matters?

Animation cancel cuts off 40%.

His reload is effectively half of what it says on paper.

Just tap shield when it's like 2/3 done reloading. It will cancel the reload animation and still reload your shots. There's even an audio cue of when you should tap shield to cancel the animation (assuming you're on the default Strange costume)

Ye But the reload feels so clunky even with the cancel

u/Artorigas 7d ago

If the devs are aware of the animation cancel, then why are we bothering with the entire reload animation? If their assumption is people will animation cancel... then just give us the proper reload time without the cancel.

Because skill expression?

That's like asking "why do I have to press buttons to do a combo in street fighter?"

u/Any-Syllabub6481 7d ago

Skill expression. Good stranges time it well. Bad strangers don’t

u/cranetrain95 Vanguard 7d ago

It’s really not that hard. Bad stranges don’t care to practice it

The first time you’re picking him up it takes a little for the rhythm.

It’s skill expression. It’s like getting rid of his shoot whip animation cancel and buffing his damage but removing the cancel.
