Hey man...Some people have no clue how hard it is to get a damn good beard to look like that...so if he is camra shy...atleast he is showing off his glorious beard :D
Noodle He will only be useless in low tier matches, in high tier this champion will be overpowered once people learn how to use his main & secondary fire simultaneously.
Kamipoo, if you move your facecam slightly to the left (closer to the health bar) then it won't even partially cover the LMB like it did in this video, so you can definitely keep the skillbar centered. I personally like being able to check which burn cards you've bought and at what levels anytime I want. Great video as always, thanks for your content!
I think any new champion would seem overpowering because figuring out how to combat novelty takes time. Dredge, even though his damage output is insane (esp with max increased dmg to shields build + Hurl talent), he suffers when it comes to mobility. Unless in really good hands, he's not a good close combat champion and can be countered by Zhin or Talus. If he's distracted, Kinessa can definitely one him, so yeah... High risk, high reward champ.
That doesn't mean he is balanced. Chances are a bunch of people are wrong because very few people have actually played him yet. Also there is typically a skill gap to how balanced a champion is. A lot of things to consider, more that just what peoples first impressions are.
I would agree with you but we would have to wait to see if that view holds up. Like I think that was the case for Khan them he basically became accepted as the best. I don't remember if he got super buffed but I'm pretty sure people just figured out his talent thats amazing. If people find something out about dredge it can send him over the edge of being better than drogoz bomb king and willow or people could find something that make him easy to counter. But I do agree that he seems like a well balanced character without knowing everything yet
@@1000aaronaaronaaron Khan got majorly buffed/bugs fixed/ease of life changes. He had great potential that they had to buff to get out of him and they over did it and made him super strong. Which is fine I guess. I wouldn't say he's OP.
I usually play him like a flank I place portal a where I want and keep the second one flank sound and when I need to escape use the teleporter and I have a card that heals me when I am near which helps a lot
You talking about A and B made me think about domination from call of duty. I wish this game had a domination mode or just something with multiple objectives
It might be better if instead of infinite harpoon, the gold card could make it a mobility move, so when you do it, you dash forward (or the direction you're facing) with the harpoon, maybe do more damage and get a buff of some sort when you do it
Unrelated to my previous comment: you know that kind of weather where it's hot but there's a storm coming, so the day darkens and gets a heavy yellow hue and the wind starts to blow strong and lift dirt off the ground and all that? That's what I thought Fish Market looked like in this video's first match. Kami mentioned the lighting being weird so I guess it was really in game and not some setting in his recording, so I'm wondering if that will actually be a visual change on the map?
not sure if dredge has loadout card for it but talus has reset cooldown, damage reduction, cleanses status and heal after teleporting (talus still underpowered tho)
I mean...having mobility is nice. And much different abilities...in fact, I'd go as far as to say that Talus counters dredge. Just because they can both teleport doesn't mean they're anything alike lol
Dredge is a blaster, you should keep your distance and just shoot like 3 bullets then reload then repeat, if your ult is ready hit someone with harpoon for the slow then release the kraken, Dredge is gonna take practice to aim but I'm using him as I use Drogoz shoot towards the enemy but by the ground to get a kill, and after awhile they are gonna nerf hurl I can see it being overused, Abyss Spike seems more like my type or Freebooter.
Some of Dredge's skills remind me of Sym & Junkrat from OW. After many champions being released, I am actually looking forward to try and main this one in Damage role :D He seems to be a great counter vs Flankers, but we will see when they nerf him after weeks or two or 1 month. We need more non-humanoid characters in game cause I'm tired seeing so much human types
How is he a good counter to flankers? He has almost zero mobility and his shots are difficult to hit. Can you imagine fighting maeve and trying to direct hit or bounce the damage up to her. Same for andro or Evie. Timing you shots to hit a koga between dashes etc. He is a good counter to tanks and point oriented comps because he has very good area denial but countering flanks is the complete opposite of who he is.
@@cogginsnuff Like Kami says he's a lot like Junkrat. As a JR main I'm sure I'll get used to his primary pretty quick, combine that with his harpoon spam or with the slowing harpoon and I think good Dredges will fare fine against flanks.
@@Capta1nTD similar to say drogoz or Vivian, sure you can fare fine against some flanks if you can hit your shots etc. but that doesn't make you inherently good at dealing with flanks.
@@Cyberw4y Sha-Lin can also do fine. Willo isn't terrible depending on the situation. But also, flanks should counter damages and supports *cough*furia*cough*
Harpoon is pretty OP indeed and I expect it to be nerfed as well. Also right click can be really rewarding by setting traps or Destroying a certain area in particular. Try using it more and put the card that gives you extra ammo on every harpoon shot on level 3 so you can spam right click even more...
The teleport is kinda underwhelming but jeez that hurl damage. Would have preferred to see Kami play a different talent the second time, but at least it's good insight on the hurl
I think they should replace the harpoon talent with a faster explode rate for the alt fire, or make the built in wrecker card the talent with a smaller cooldown
I think they should reduce the thime between the bounce on the attack and the explosion it does, because now he is only viable mainly because of the harpoon and that talent
In a highly coordinated team, freebooter is going to be REALLY good, tanks getting overwhelmed and dredge on the high ground, place a portal up there and drop down and place 1 right in front of ur tank, port em out, get healed back to full and drop back in again and whip em out!!!
11:45 i love how everyone else's pictures are their faces and dredge's is just his glorious beard
Looks like Willo has a beard
Hey man...Some people have no clue how hard it is to get a damn good beard to look like that...so if he is camra shy...atleast he is showing off his glorious beard :D
@@HyperBlast4 True
100 likes ;)
3:27 "Harpoon no longer slows enemies". Yeah right ok hirez.
*FAIR AND BALANCED*
JaZedDee
sure looks like it. the trident makes him not useless.
I think people need to learn how to aim with his projectiles first
Noodle He will only be useless in low tier matches, in high tier this champion will be overpowered once people learn how to use his main & secondary fire simultaneously.
like drogoz xD
Hes Not so overpowered like koga
Kamivs calling Dredge "junk rat"?
DEMO MAN would like to have a word with you.
i miss the demo pan :3
yes
Tf2 ded i threw away 3k hours for nothing.
@@deathlooks9797 Every game dies eventually

He got marooned
Get out!

Surely being able to see health bar is more important than his main fire right?
Your videos are the reason i still live and breathe
his ultimate can turn.......the TIDES of battle! Get it? Tides? because he's a pirate?
Lol
This comment is so underrated.
GET OUT!
Seems Underwhelming
How did I not expect to SEA puns like these in the comments?
The thing with skill bar at the center is... you are blocking the LMB, which never has a cooldown, sooo... keep it at center
In class right now, watched it once without sound
gonna go home and watch it again
ok im here
Honestly he looks less overpowered than I thought
same
You should see the reload build
Isn't that a good thing ?
ikr? This is a great example of judging a book by it’s cover. He looks balanced with strengths and weaknesses on small/big maps respectively
I agree, the ult wind up is slow, the weapon projectile is also slow
why you no teleport ever?
One of the best Champions yet, actually uses anticipation and trajectory!
syeda zehra but drogoz is anyway better
harpoon? hello?
How to revise ur math whil playing games
@@zzz-pz2pf Very true, I play Drogoz on console atm (yes console)
@@kiattim2100 True but that is soon to be nerfed... I can only hope.
3:24 why buck slowed this tallent remove slow right ????
Don't you think the slow will make the 3 shot burst more reliable?
ImmortalJellyFish you right
@@shaiyana3943 I feel like there's such strong burst potential there
Yea but there is still a lot of ways to counter cc
But if u time it right, it is basiclly Sha Lin stun planted combo
Yea that's what I feel, like taking away the slow is like taking shas stun
Kami plz answer is drogoz ult ll affect the bosses
Kami do you know there is an 'E' button which activates your ultimate. Would have loved to see that.

He is not OP but annoyingly spammy
All characters require time adjustment before people say they're op. You just have to learn how they work and go from there
The centered skill bar is nice, only the ammo amount is covered but there's an ammo count near crosshairs anyway so it's fine
who needs an abyssal squid launcher when you have a harpoon
I hate it when Kami's video is over.
Love your gameplay kami..
Dot aim kinda hard man. Any tips? How do you focus n do flickshot?
I usually play him like a flank I place portal a where I want and keep the second one flank sound and when I need to escape use the teleporter and I have a card that heals me when I am near which helps a lot

What announcer is kami using? I always hear seto kaiba and its messing with me hard. Hahaha

I prefer this center aligned abilities - only one ability is partly covered and we can see your items
When is the update going out of pts and into the full game?
Probably soon, hirez tends to not fix anything in pts and release updates full of bugs.
Scarykittenz
sounds like overwatch.
In two weeks.
is that an echo at 4:05
Thank you for the skills repositioning. ❤️
Wait, are the projectiles the strange polip farts?
I havent seen anybody use the reveal on the alt fire card. Is it not good?
So... Cptn Crunch releases the Kraken? I have so many questions!
When is he coming out?
Was there a map update?
The opponent moji in the second game is Jay flare
What's the point of talus now
not sure if dredge has loadout card for it but talus has reset cooldown, damage reduction, cleanses status and heal after teleporting (talus still underpowered tho)
Wdym
talus: run in, try to shred them, tp back
dredge: prefire the shit out of everything and use your tp as a retreat when falling back
I mean...having mobility is nice. And much different abilities...in fact, I'd go as far as to say that Talus counters dredge. Just because they can both teleport doesn't mean they're anything alike lol

When does it drop on the ps4
Dredge ult combo with seris ult 👌
If kami does q ana a
Ghost feather or a real ghost for daddy
add a skye ult to it then 👌
Add Viktor and discount Viktor ults to it then 👌
Literally the same with skye but it works once in 100 games
Which is more useless, Skye's ult or Terminus's ult?
terminus ult revive him, i think being alive is more useful
When will the update be available?
Kami went Harpoon fishing and came back with a big load of fish lol

Can someone help me, with the new update I can not play, my game always crashing
I actually showed up in his video! Cool!! I'm the other Dredge getting owned at Jaguar Falls. It was my first time using Dredge, very embarrassing!!
5/17.You are shit
Blaze IT no fucking shit captain obvious

8:48 Nice on Brandi!
