new boombox update videos shown... and he looks terrible

Also another problem with the E ability ( I dont know if its just me) Sometimes when you do the shield pushback it just doesnt register at all, or just damages without pushback (it might be my lag but this mostly happens with either tanks or other fast melee)

They really said nerf or nothing to boombox

Make more content man pls more phighting vids bro

Frankly, outside of the audio issues of being too loud, my biggest issue was your complaint on shield penetration. Outside of subspace and coil, all the others feel perfectly in-line with how general balnce in games work. Slingshot's m2 looks like a clear example of a charged shot, which in most games, charged shots default to penetration to showcase strength. The exact same applies to Hyperlaser. And sword doesnt make any sense, but it only damages players which gives it a little leeway.

Hello medley

I don’t care if Boombox sucks right now, I have fun using him and that’s what matters to me :]

honestly I never paid attention to the metronome of boombox, I just focus of the funny boxes at the cursor... but yeah it's a valid point for the dev to fix

Boombox: the king of mediocrity, never bad, always alright

boombox is my fav lol (I respect ur opinion)

azali music.... based

I saw this video in my recommended when it dropped, and I added it to watch later. Mostly because I knew it would be a banger and someone finally saying what I've been preaching as a retired Boombox main. But now having finished it, at some parts even getting emotional I realized that I actually wanted to repress the feelings a bit. It's crazy because it's genuinely like grief, and I'm not even a veteran player, I started early December last year. My start with the game was rocky (as is for most newgens) but Boombox was a character I slowly started acquring a taste for, and once I understood his kit and got a bit of game sense, played ALL the time. Every single hour and match, then got the Eggsquerade skin and it basically became part od my brand, my pngtuber in scrims still has that eggbox aesthetic to her I can't let go of. He carried me in my first ever phestival, my first ever scrim, reaching lvl 100, first ever pro server encounter. I gen felt so tight knit with the character, and I always liked the metronome mechanic. Personally I never saw it as a rhythm game, despite being a rhythm game player aswell and maybe that's why I never felt it was off beat. To me metronome was its own beat, a heart beat if you will, something you gotta keep track of methodically, something that became so deeply ingrained in my muscle memory and soul that it was second nature. Then the nerfs came and I found myself playing Eggbox less and less, then actually loathing having to go on Boombox in scrims. From one of my prides and joys to the neglected once gifted child. I found myself maining Scythe, for her complexity, high damage output and most importantly SPEED, MOBILITY AND TECHS!!! Everything that was taken away from Boombox basically. And the fact didn't hit me until now. I really do feel like I repressed a mountain of grief until this video GOD, IDC that I'm cringe bro it's like you were reading from a script from my soul. Nowdays I still call myself a Eggbox main but it's moreso for the brand, and now with the upcoming rework, I have never been more worried for his state. Good shit bro, good shit.

Valid points… however, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it, Boombox m2 + Banhammer E. Quite literally the only time I play boombox is when there’s a ban on my team because you effectively get rid of 90% of ban’s weaknesses (slowness when doing anything, inability to deal with ranged classes). However then it brings up the question, why bother assisting your tank getting some more damage, when you can effectively double the damage output by going another tank. Overall my thoughts is that he’s pretty situational, but I personally enjoy playing the bodyguard kind of support role.

1 week late but honestly this video points out all my issues with Boombox that I can't put into words. He's just weak and you can barely win against any enemies (especially Melee). I saw the nerfs and went into an absolute state of SHOCK and horror as I saw him being gutted within the patches channel. I am so glad the overhaul/remake is coming soon because I cannot handle seeing Boombox at this state any longer.

theyre remaking him rn

Omg, I relate to this so hard, I play hik when medkit is taken, or subspace (I like using supports) I hate whenever the timing, especially as I try to fight then timing it, plus I feel like if they're going to do yhis at least give him more health or/and a stringer shield, they nerfed him so bad, I bought skins for him too as I love him sm at least make his knock back stronger or his range? I did almost beat my friend wity using Boombox against Scythe, but they're more new, I know the devs are still in school and all (college) and busy but they did him so bad 😭 I do use him often though

I'm still gonna lay down the beat

boombox didnt thank beyonce 💔

Tho i have been wondering since i never played Boombox because of his absolutely bootycheeks of a kit, will he actually get a rework? Since i love that guy and would love to play him but his kit is just not it for me.

THANK YOU, i always encounter a boombox (i've switched over to shuri) I lament to them about the current state of him, and every time the boombox in questions DEFENDS his current state and I cry

ubisoft type nerfs... however, I will still love boombox (HELLO!! I'M ILUVB00MB0X), despite how terrible he is. I can only hope the rework makes him at the very least viable

jfckjrbckçfjrcvkjrnke why am I get so stressed?-

Ive been wasting my weekend trying to get boomboxes badge and still not getting it, this is a true protecting overtone moment

ahh so this is what happened to the class that traumatized me back then

At first before all the nerfs he got, my main complaint about him was that he barely supported aside from his Ult and mostly supported himself and did a lot of damage for a support. Now he doesn’t support AND doesn’t damage making him SUCK, I just hope hes going to be mostly focused on support in his rework.

While i do agree with his poor state right now, and i do think hes arguably the most inconsistent support phighter, hes still playable to me. Like, he was WAY better before, and im glad hes gonna get a rework ( despite the reason of his state right now was the absurd amount of nerfs and patches he gave to him), he can still be used pretty well... i do agree though hes one of the worst phighters in the game

As a solo boombox main, playing him in recent times has been extremely difficult, I feel useless as a frontline support as my R2 and ult do almost little to nothing, and I get shredded in a matter of seconds the moment I approach a point, let alone a banhammer. But I'm looking forward to the rework!

thank you for making this video cause you're so real for this 🙏🙏🙏 boombox rework please clutch 😢😢😢😢😢 i havent played him in ages and whenever i do i do jack and shit

holy, that is the frenchest way i have heard someone say something 1:35

Yapping level today: CATASTROPHIC

As a HUGE boombox fan and a boombox main, I really hope they fix his kit cuz godDAMN 😭😭 it’s in shambles rn

he was my first main and the only phighter I'm consistently good at, I really hope he gets better so I don't feel that useless anymore

As a boombox main who recently decided to switch to Slingshot for a while, the nerfs were CRITICAL I hope the kit gets better.. peak video with peak script vroski !

Ah yes those days when we didn’t have the sword rework and new phighters I think vinestaff was teased around this time and medkits has just gotten his new design those were the good days boombox was lethal and I mean demon core lethal he was so broken that playing against a main was hell most people left servers with them because boombox was too strom to be honest I experienced that because I used ban hammer. No but honestly boombox was the equivalent of a honey badger rifle on automatic now he’s just annoying and the people who use him are either generally annoying people or have egos the size of ksi’s forehead boombox was so washed up, he went from a honey badger rifle to a toothpick now he gets countered by his own phighter he counters. He is an awful state and has am I reading this right? 29 patch notes.. WHAT?! 29 oh my god that’s more then the current vinestaff players i am out of words to express myself they butchered him so hard. This video explains valid reasons and good ideas.

Dude I don't think you know how frustrating boombox was in his prime. He practically countered half of the phighters. Which is probably why they nerfed him and never changed his state, they're scared of him being good again because it ruins the fun of other phighters.

25:12 one thing i'd actually put slingshot in the hard counter (up from winnable so its a massive jump) category mostly because of flying tech ! i've been playing slingshot since i started playing the game (level 300 as of current) The reason why slingshot is actually a hard counter to boombox is because of how much height his E, jump, and hover give him. To put it perspective, Slingshot can E upwards (no movement keys just looking up and pressing e) which already gives you LOS over the shield, from there slingshot can pressure you with absolute ease and without any form of punishment on the receiving boomboxes end. this paired with the ideal slingshot combo [ m2 - 30 damage Q, (all shots hit) - 40 damage, triple volley hover m1s - 60 damage ] = is a staggering 130 damage and even without the ideal Q you would still hit (being a little generous towards boombox) an 18 minimum with Q, which would bring it down to 108 still absolutely detrimental to the healthpool of boombox. not to mention m1 sniping boomboxes mid ult to shutdown, ontop of that the piercing m2s aswell as being THREE SHOT to slingshot phinisher. slingshot is the reason i think boombox should be able to aim his attacks aswell as m1 in the air because they're seriously just makeshift melee hits and scythe gets to do it so why cant he :sob: TL;DR, slingshot fly above shield, boombox sad cuz no damage, slingshot keel boombox (im sorry if the paragraph is convoluted)

holy shit boombox was nerfed this bad?? dude i thought i was just washed

I non-ironically screamed when I heard an AZALI song at the beginning of this video

now I can play skateboard mauling boomboxes /j

i miss playing prenerf boombox

25:03 i think you forgot to mention rocket has almost 2x as much a mobilty then boombox does tho it makes you take damage its so little its absurd you dont even need to jump above them you can literally just jump behind them

look at 7:15 i feel bad his dps is just so ass

As an almost level 300 support I strongly agree with u about the problems he has to face, especially his ineffective play style. His play style is all about taking risk, actively getting there and deal damage and provide utility. Forcing yourself onto the enemy is a great way of pressure , however boom isn’t too good at that, to make it worse you provide if you don’t take your risks and get your jazz ahh music to start beating their ass, basically like what you said, if you failed to do some damage you won’t get the shield and get punished .Unlike his other support homies, which their play styles is all about staying in the back and providing utility and damage, boom is a difficult support to use and taking risks is a big part of his play style which is both ok but flawed. His two main ways of supporting are just outclassed or doesn’t have the power to provide any impacts. Sure the speed is great and is amazing for tanks to catch up with their targets, coil absolutely outshines him as he consistently and constantly keeps providing speed. Boom’s shields is also a good “sustainable” source but isn’t as impactful on the majority of the round, mainly that his shield depletes too quickly to really impact any of the player’s survivability.

Bro, in the Decoy deploy phrenzy, I did good with the other characters, like skate which people say is hard to use. But I absolutely hated boombox, he was so hard to use for me idk why but he was such an issue to use unlike the others. Now, when there’s a random phighters round I just pray not to get boombox 😭🙏

0:51 , literally did NOT expect seeing a Banbox CEO here(I LOVEEEEEEEE banbox)./off topic
