Storm reminds me of MOBA characters that are technically balanced, but since everyone else in the game has more stuffs, they feel weaker. For example, the lack of headshot crit on storm is really odd to me since her projectile isn’t hitscan and she has a reload. Her buff field being a sphere is also odd since it feels they’re punishing her for her flying capability.
It seems like they want you to fly low to buff as many characters as you can and allowing your main attacks to pierce, which is very counter intuitive. She is extremely strong at defending though.
@@aquavulpez that’s part of what I’m thinking would help her feel a bit more intuitive to play. With a cylinder buff, she could make use of her flying a bit better.
Magik is just highly dependent on what tanks are being played and if they are passive or aggressive, if you have very passive tanks then you're better of playing a different character, but with aggressive tanks you can just dive whatever the tanks are looking at for free basically
Magik is not weak lol. That was just a bad magik player. She didn’t land any 1 shot combos and was diving in. She’s one of the best characters in the game if played correctly. Got to GM with using 90% magik
I don't know. When i played her the cd felt pretty short to me. I actually expected it to be longer and was surprised the first time with how quickly i could use it again. I actually think her lightning strike should have a shorter cd
@@x3papichulo3x78 Ok, Fair. But i wouldn't count the 8 sec duration as part of the cooldown. Every 15 seconds you get 8 seconds of extra damage/speed. Don't get me wrong, i wouldn't say no to a reduced cooldown, but it doesn't feel necessary to me... If Storm is to be buffed, i feel like it need to be in some other area. Maybe a lower cd on her right click, or a damage buff to her left click. Or maybe a new ability, like a dash, or a cc ability, like a twister she could put down that sucks enemies in for a couple seconds, which would help land more of her primary attacks.
I think Magik is fine, it's just that Storm hard counters her. Like what can she reasonably do when it comes to that lightning aura? She should have swapped.
Magik is more of a backline assassin to kill supports. But she needs a tank to work with her to create a pressure that doesnt let her get blasted. One of the rank 1s in recent days was playing 90% Magik. Probably doesnt help that she does nothing to you as a flier player. I play a lot of both Magik and Storm, albeit at a significantly lower level, and Id say its more a matter of perspective and coordination. She's definitely a lot more effective than Iron Fist when played really well from the vods ive seen.
I still think she need help though. Not much, but a speed increase and a more accurate crosshairs would do wonders. I also play a lot of Magik and it feels like you have to play your heart out to get any value compared to other dps like Hella that just left clicks. I just think she is too dependent on her dash while it is way too easy to miss. Compared to other diving heroes, her mobility is among the weakest. I would consider giving her vertical mobility on her disc steps so she doesn't have to waste her longest, most important cool down to get into position.
Always nice to see some quality Storm gameplay. Also 13:15 I don't think Magik is a weak character per se, but more so that Magik player was just either getting diffed by your team or getting shutdown by your use of that aoe lightning amp move. She is def good at diving in, picking out healers/dps with her combos and using her portal/dash to escape the fight. I honestly have a lot of fun playing her since she feels like Overwatch 1 Doomfist as a comparison
This just in: Storm main thinks Magik is weak! Next week we'll release our gripping expose about a Namor main who thinks Black Panther and Spiderman are trash tier!
@ravagedDust that doesn't kill someone outright mate... that's 200 damage in that combo best case scenario. have you even played her? Oh wow 1 portal left 🤣🤣🤣 1 portal covers about 2 meters and is super slow so anyone walking can still be on you.. Meanwhile hawkeye fires 1 arrow for 380 damage 🤣🤣 Thanks for backing up my point.. you have to do a complex animation cancel combo and pray to the gods your dash even hits the target with its extremely narrow hit box and burn 90% of your cds just to maybe just maybe kill 1 target if they are already damaged and don't have any team mates near.. do you not see the issue with that?
I absolutely love Storm right now. I haven't gotten to whip her out in ranked much because I'm usually stuck flexing heals or tank, but I really love her ability to just harass around corners and I think her damage buff is just overlooked because there isn't really a stat to see how much dmg you've boosted. Would love to see her get a tad more movement speed and a stat tracker on the scoreboard to see how much extra dmg you're providing to your team. Also bless all the Thor players that give me her team up they are truly saints
I think they should just make her lightning bold attack a secondary fire with reload and her wind attack a primary fire with infinite ammo (it's literal wind. Hawkeye who uses arrows doesn't even have to reload! He's overturned granted, but still). And just give her one more ability just give her more depth of play. She's just super plain which doesn't fit her fantasy as a weather goddess. Balance is important but it shouldn't come at the cost of flavor. Also Magik weak. I think this is just a bad Magik who can't land her combos
@ozymondiasthehub5925 magik is a little on the weak side though. She has to burn almost every cd in a complex animation cancel combo just to maybe take out 1 person if you can land that narrow hitbox dash and usually leaves herself with only 1 short range portal at the end. She's only good in a 1v1 scenario but if enemies are grouping at all she's virtually useless.
Almost every game i've seen with Magic, she got MVP/SVP for getting the most KOs... She can melt squishy characters in a second if you know what you're doing. Storm is definitely underrated.
I really do like playing storm. She's way too slow though. I can think of 3 or 4 different buffs to give her. She probably only needs 1 or 2 of them but putting her next to hawkeye/hela or hell even iron fist is super sad
It is absolutely criminal that storm has no option to do any single target burst damage (outside of her ultimate) on a character that 1. Cant crit, and 2. Is projectile based but still has to reload. Her damage isnt even good. Makes no sense.
@mr.blackpitts6850 the only folks I've seen asking for buffs are low level players that can't play with their team. But I'll take a buff if they give it to her
@mr.blackpitts6850 I have 6 videos showcasing that not to be the case. If you wanna ignore the proof I'm uploading daily that's on you. Idk what to say 🤣
To incorporate more of her weather manipulation, they should make her ult a blizzard instead....have it freeze if caught dead center and slow with the same animation/dmg...not over the top but would put more respect on her name
Even though the character is a bit underpowered. You proved that with good team play and game sense, she is still a viable option. Fun gameplay and commentary man keep up the good work👌🏽
With how strong healing and burst dmg is in this game healers really have to focus on keeping tanks up especially those without in built shields. And since a lot of the healers in this game have to heal by aiming directly at tanks have a flying team mate out of view does mean that they’ll get less healing overall cos if they stop healing tanks for a little the tanks really go down quite fast
This is in no way to discredit your match but just so you know, anytime a character effects another characters dmg they are considered assisting in the kill. I tested this out by not attacking a single person in an ai match and still had like 30 assists lol.
Yeah, the score board is weird in this game... The KO count and "final hit" count are different. If you damage an enemy but someone else finishes them off, it still counts as your kill too, and might not count as an assist. And i once got an assist simply for having a team up ability with another character who got a KO while i was half way across the map in the spawn...
I was using Storm in the last days, and I think she is really good when the team is close. Of course her kit is boring compared to the others and she definitely need more help, but she is fun to use when things go right
A few times you called out for heals when you were really close to a health pack, which I think would have been easier to disengage (thinking about one part when you just won a fight, and no enemies were near you after) to briefly go pick up. A lil' more familiarity with the maps (as far as health pack locations), and I think you might have had a round w/o a death. Still, a good Storm vid.
Baffles me how she needs to "reload" when hawk eye doesnt on top.of the favt STORM of all people dont have alot of abilities an cool down on lighning throw. Smh

What if instead of a sphere, the buff box was a cylinder? That way she can fly with more freedom
@@aquavulpez that’s part of what I’m thinking would help her feel a bit more intuitive to play. With a cylinder buff, she could make use of her flying a bit better.
No bro, Magik is not weak.
especially when compared to Storm
We must be playing different games
Magik is just highly dependent on what tanks are being played and if they are passive or aggressive, if you have very passive tanks then you're better of playing a different character, but with aggressive tanks you can just dive whatever the tanks are looking at for free basically
Magik does need a buff though.
@@mo-em1keI mean honestly, no she doesn’t. Been hard carrying most ranked matches on her and all I have to do is play around my tank.
Magik is not weak lol. That was just a bad magik player. She didn’t land any 1 shot combos and was diving in. She’s one of the best characters in the game if played correctly. Got to GM with using 90% magik
I think a really good buff to Storm would be a cd reduction to her goddess boost
I don't know. When i played her the cd felt pretty short to me. I actually expected it to be longer and was surprised the first time with how quickly i could use it again. I actually think her lightning strike should have a shorter cd
@@AndreyKrichevsky it’s way too long. You can at least use bolt rush 7x a minute compared to goddess boost which can be only used 2x a min on avg.
@@x3papichulo3x78 Goddess Boost has a 15 second cool down... You can use it more then 2 times a minute...
@ the cool down begins once the ability is over after the 8 sec duration.
@@x3papichulo3x78 Ok, Fair. But i wouldn't count the 8 sec duration as part of the cooldown. Every 15 seconds you get 8 seconds of extra damage/speed.

I think a good buff would be to make the aura a cylinder instead of a sphere
I was playing ranked last night with Storm and dropped 38-4-52
Niceeeee

This is the kind of analysis I need. All right, ill learn her after I perfect Spider-Man
This just in: Storm main thinks Magik is weak!
Next week we'll release our gripping expose about a Namor main who thinks Black Panther and Spiderman are trash tier!
Storm isn't even my main :)
Magik is kinda weak. She has to commit every cd with animation cancel shenanigans to kill 1 person and usually doesn't have an escape after
@@mo-em1ke you portal, spin, dash while spinning, primary, quick melee. That's not every cooldown and you still have a portal.
@ravagedDust that doesn't kill someone outright mate... that's 200 damage in that combo best case scenario. have you even played her? Oh wow 1 portal left 🤣🤣🤣 1 portal covers about 2 meters and is super slow so anyone walking can still be on you..

@@mo-em1ke not sure if you're trolling or not but go look at 1 shot combos and test them. I play her a lot and don't have issues bursting people down.
I always used to think storm was the worst character ever since she was projectile
I still do
But youre pretty good at thus
She needs a dash ability and maybe her lighting can chain like the thor team up move does
I absolutely love Storm right now.

Crazy how the storm player thinks Magik is weak. As a storm player! 😃
Am I not allowed to have thoughts?
I'm just messing man, I think storm is ass.

@TrikSlyr I'm not saying she can't bring value, it's mostly her kit just feels so low impact. She feels too safely designed.

Position better and you crush
yall got heals when flying? i can count on dagger and mantis but everyone else ehh

Lets gooooooo!!!!!!!!! Two a day uploads here we come!!!!!
I'm cookingggggg
@@TrikSlyr bro are you marvel gawd?! 😂🤣😂
Marvel Jesus
I wish I can play storm but she’s just so slow and the damage is awful props to the people who can dominate with her
I'll do it for you lil bro
Storm fun af but really needs a buff
I'll take a buff but I think she'll be fine if the outlier DPS are nerfed
@@TrikSlyr Honestly fair.
Imagine what you could do with a good charecter :D
I consistently do this on Storm. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills
@@TrikSlyr Yeah I was being a bit tongue in cheek. You've convinced me to give her a go.

A lil' more familiarity with the maps (as far as health pack locations), and I think you might have had a round w/o a death. Still, a good Storm vid.
Grabbing a health pack when a healer is literally right there means I give up pressure for something that requires them to click me once.
Baffles me how she needs to "reload" when hawk eye doesnt on top.of the favt STORM of all people dont have alot of abilities an cool down on lighning throw. Smh
