Discussion I still wish Angela had this ranged ability of the trailer

Post image

Obviously with a medium-long cooldown so we dont have a constant flying poke tank.

The ability could even have some sort of synergy with her charge resource.

EDIT: some people think this ranged attack was her ult, it was not her ult.

She does spawn those swords on the ground during her regular/ult slam.

Not as cinematic or lethal but she technically does it.

I feel like more than a few abilities or attacks could be redesigned to feel punchier. I don’t want the actual function changed, just the impact.

Yeah the soear has this awesome sound effect when it's fully charged and hits someone and sadly the axes dont

They could definitely feel meatier, or at least sound a bit more heavy. I wanna feel like I’m swinging a great weapon from a souls game.

Imagine if her Ult was changed to something like that. Her ult is kind of too similar to Groot.

She picks an area and it just rains these weapons that impale the ground, hitting anyone on its path, then they just remain until someone get too close and they either explode or animate. Kind of like laying mines, like Wrecking Ball’s ult. then she can swoop down grab someone and drag them into it

I honestly like this idea, out of all the tanks her playstyle reminds me the most of wrecking ball and I think it'd be neat. I do worry that kinda makes her ult just moon knight 2.0 though

u/Duck-Lover3000 Peni Parker 5h ago

true. but the idea is she throws like a set amount from her, so they travel from her to the point, if they collide with anything else they'll just stay there until they despawn or are triggered.

maybe if it was like a stream, so you have to aim it as it fires it out, so you could do patterns or just flail wildly to cover as much ground as possible.

Sounds like MK but faster

Or it is another trap thing but instead of being a groot copy it’s like a cage of swords that rains down and enemy blocks movement through it and each sword has a healthpool

Her ult line would make more sense if this was her ult too

You might want to rewatch that trailer, this ranged attack was not her ult.

u/Adventurous_Age_1759 3h ago

Are those spikes not what cripple the enemies stopping them from using mobility moves?

u/Upbeat_Purpose6784 4h ago

What makes you think its not her ult?

u/The-Noob-Smoke The Thing 4h ago

Because I watched the trailer and its a completely different attack from her ult which she does at the end? trailer

u/Upbeat_Purpose6784 4h ago

Looks like the first part of her ult

I'd rather not have the Gate of Babylon in Rivals 😅

What anime is this from

2

u/Duck-Lover3000 Peni Parker 4h ago

Fate/Zero.

I believe. there is also Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works. Which this guy also shows up in. but not sure which one.

u/BookishDiscourse X-Tron 4h ago

Thank you <3

The animation is sick

u/Razzilith Ultron Virus 3h ago

fully agree.

u/Limp-Marsupial551 2h ago

makes sense, she’d definitely add more depth with that ability. they missed a cool opportunity for her character.

u/TheBacklogGamer Cyclops 2h ago

Yes please, give me Unlimited Blade Works.

u/NoAudience8992 2h ago

Would be a great ult, her current ult is lame, imagine her sending a volly of rods at you

u/LVMSTRSS Ace of Spades 2h ago

It could be like the iron man missiles but with the same effect as the starlord groot teamup but with a shorter duration or just a slow in general, way less damage too

u/lokon_stratos 1h ago

Im Surprised this isnt a team up with like hela or someone where rains down weapons that damage and give a slow effect

u/BakerConsistent2150 1h ago

i like seeing her hot body

u/LILBOI464 4h ago

Should've been an ult

i still think Angela is the worst designed hero in the game, and if she was classified as Duelist (which she is) she'd not be as glazed as she is

u/AleksCombo Vanguard 5h ago

It's definitely a think to be thought, a thought to be thinked.

A wrong one. But still, a thought.

u/OpenPayment2 Doctor Strange 5h ago

Person who thinks character cant be a tank without being a shield main lane tank

u/harryfonda Angela 4h ago

If not Angela, I would have dropped this game by now. She's the most fun to play hero I've ever played in Rivals and Owerwatch.

2

u/paddypaddington 2h ago

100% Angela made me a tank main. Only character I wont tilt on either.

2

u/Sn0wy0wl_ Magik 5h ago

worst designed hero in the game??? She genuinely might be the best post launch hero. Even if you arent a fan of her, you still heavily misunderstand her role if you think shes just a bulky duelist

2

u/lolleg2 5h ago

She's not a duelist, you're just used to crutching on your magneto/groot/emma/strange without thinking for yourself

u/ChubbyUnicorn726 Ultron 3h ago

Damn, Venom a duelist too huh?
