@@jelliedcard9160 agreed. Also freeing up the reload button gives her room for another ability. Which I think she could benefit from. Maybe a rain ability that could debuff enemies. Or a wind dash ability. Or a fog smoke screen. Literally anything
She is designed as a tank buster, that's why she has short falloff and slow projectiles. If you don't like busting tanks then play starlord. I agree on the reload thing though
@zilliq-qz5uw In what universe is she a tank buster? Wolverine is a tank buster because he melts tanks and can kidnap them. Storm does pitiful damage in general, let alone to take. Even her ultimate struggles to kill tanks. She is a dive counter as well as a back line diver with her Ult, where she can easily eliminate squishies hiding behind their backline. Absolutely none of her kit is suited to busting tanks.
@friendboy10 what I meant is: her pierce make her want to target the frontline, and her damage boost make it easier for her team to bust the tanks. But I agree she's not a tank buster per se like wolverine.
Bro I love Storm & she’s my main dps but she def needs a buff to her numbers. The fact it takes 9 shots to kill a squishy and 11 shots to kill a tank is insane and she doesn’t crit. Mantis kills in 2 head shots as a support. Justice for Storm
Based upon everything I'm seeing from high ELO Storm players, she is mislabelled as Duelist because she couldn't bust her way out of a wet paper bag but her buffs and AoE auto lightning is very useful.
Ngl did you not watch the full video? p2mg talks about people saying she needs a buff. She doesn't need a buff at all people just need to play her better.
@seanapel3544 A buff is needed because her design is unintuitive which is why she is so unpopular. A buff does not need to be damage but that is the most obvious change as most players use her like Ironman because there is very little sense in playing a flier near the ground. Perhaps the term buff is wrong, a redesign would be more accurate.

I like how characters are like hybrids - Storm is like a strat dps hybrid. So she's not always gonna do the most but what she adds to the team unseen is huge.
Most of the time the speed aura itself isn't enough to save allies, its only 8% for them and 16% for Storm. 8% is very situationally advantageous like staying out of or in melee range for/of a diver, but even then they have gap closers. At 5:23 you switch to Tornado and Groot catches Dagger at 5:27, so Tornado let him gain LoS 0.32 seconds faster. Unless you just happen to know he was at max range, then you can't really assert that he wouldn't have caught up. The boost it gave to you was definitely noticeable, and probably allowed you to catch that corner shot before you lose LoS. Goddess boosted tornado is a big deal, but the default 8% for allies just isn't something to hype up especially when its only in a 15m spherical radius of Storm. Its sort of self-defeating when it boosts storm twice as much as allies, which will make you leave them behind and they'll fall out of that tiny 15m spherical radius especially if you have any elevation.
@@DummyFace123 yeah for things like this (I think I said in the video somewhere, not sure) it might not be worth it to switch for short periods of time like that particular instance, because it wont make a difference in the outcome. very thorough comment. appreciated.
Lucio also has to wait for his teammates sometimes because he gets an additional speed boost when wall riding, it's something to keep in mind with these kind of characters
10:04 And more important than aura right here is keeping an eye on ult. Your reasoning later on for why you used your ult when half your team was dead is flawed, because the push had already failed. You are much better off using your ult right here as soon as it is available to take out 2 to 3 of them so that its only a 6 v 3 when pushing that corner. You want to use Storms ult to CREATE that supremacy, especially when approaching those critical deadlock locations at checkpoints. People may not respect Storm overall as a hero, but her ult puckers sphincters, she causes absolute havoc and panic in enemy backlines.
Positioning, awareness, ability usage. These are things I focus on with every character, because my aim sucks. And I'm able to do pretty decently off just those. Yeah, Psylocke's ult works kind of like Kharazim's Seven-Sided Strike in Heroes of the Storm, for anyone who has played that. Basically there are times you definitely want to get out of it, but there are times where jumping into it can save an ally by spreading the damage out. Hers appears to do 150 damage a hit over 4 seconds, 2 hits a second, prioritizing enemies that have been hit the least.
In my opinion I believe Storm should be in the strategist category. Increase the aura buff to her team mate and give her and ice storm ability to slow and freeze enemies. Support doesn’t have to always mean heal she would be perfect for it.
This is very helpful me and a friend decided that I would learn storm for when human torch comes out because those two will have a team up the buffs each other ults.

Thanks for giving Ororo some love. Imo Marvel Rivals is basically a hard skill check and some would rather complain than actually try to adapt and we can't let these folks ruin the fun
16:24 yeeaaah I agree, I started watching your stuff and played storm, ended up going 27-5-25 with an MVP very quickly, she's fine and doesn't NEED buffs. Like I remember you said "don't play her like Pharrah, play her like Storm" and it made the world's difference.
I had someone yesterday in Grandmaster 1 try to ditto my Storm pick, and they played her like a phrarah and we literally just ignored her the entire time. The devs did not intend for her to be in the sky, her dmg falloff starts at 15 meters and her aura is a 15 meter spherical radius. Glad you had success with it and I wish you luck on your future Storm endeavors.
I think if there was one thing to say, about storms current state is that I think she could be more interesting and better. I love using her there is some lack of feeling that she does provide value. Its definitely not a loud character but for example her right click( alternate fire) doesn't really hit in certain ways. Idk I mean I was a sym main when i first started on overwatch so quiet characters I'm familiar with, especially lucio. It just feels odd outside of her ult and aura everything works on a level that isn't very visible as a DPS role no less.
Had a friend convince me she was above f tier (as i thought she was as a blind pick in ranked) but group speed+slow and dmg boost is wild as an insane poke, peel or aggression tool which is crazy useful in almost every single situation she might be too strong in team play 😂.
so many 'storm guides' that are just a guy rephrasing the abilities in the practice range. THANK YOU for making a guide with an actual high level game in it!
I think Stom is very interesting, I think she deserves some buffs, damage and increasing her life, in my view I think that her purpose is to protect the backline and buff the team, it's a type of dps very different from the classic "shoot and kill "we need more antidive dps on the game as well.
I also agree she could be bumped a bit in the health department as she's designed as a frontline dps, but also she's sitting near her healers by design and can play incredibly well around cover so I'm not sure she needs it. It shows when preston didn't die once in the attack phase of this video.
The more I see folks figuring out Storm's role as a backline defender, the more I'm thinking they need to switch her to a Vanguard or Strategist with heavy CC because she clearly isn't a damage dealer. In either case, she currently requires too much effort to get any value out of her compared to other heroes with better designed kits.
@ppeemg If you're talking about burning all her abilities at once, then don't bother because there are plenty of Duelists who don't need to do that to deal with being dived.
@tehcupcakes6868 After seeing how Starlord plays best by Ult charging off tanks, I put two and two together. Storm has piercing primary attacks, so I wondered if she is designed to be played the same way given how potent her Ult is for clearing objectives or hitting the backline. And surely enough, this method proves to be very effective. You use her flying to line up your shots to pass through as many targets as possible, reserve her damage boost to protect supports being dived using the auto-hit lightning strike and just farm Ult charge on tanks when you cannot line up multiple opponents. So much like how Wolverine has to be played a very specific way, it seems Ororo is intended to focus on charging her Ult. In that case I'd say her Ult needs to be easier to charge because by comparison Starlord can get it more than twice per round if done correctly while Storm will struggle to get it twice.
Yo thank u for this, I been running high assist + decent kill matches with her but I don’t know how to manage her much against highly skilled players in comp. This is perf
I dont think she needs to be turned into a support she does need to have her lightning attack refreshed on a kill and her Speed could use a buff also maybe give her an additional attack
I've really been enjoying Storm! On good games, I always end up with equal number kills and assists. I found your videos bc I was looking for tips to use the speed properly! Definitely has helped!
i think Strom should get a wider Aura field without Distance deterioration n a new Wind cooldown, cuz it seems weird she has Thunderbolts n no Wind Gale or something
Okay while I do think storm is not terrrible, and she can benefit her team a lot, in game with Hawkeyes, hela, Winter soldiers, etc. I think she could benefit from some buffs. But more so than buffs….. I just want her kit to be more “storm” like. Like she’s a weather godess. But only controls lighting and wind? Idk, I just wanna see her do more. Maybe add another “ice aura” for damage reduction, and change her lighting bolt ability to match what her current aura is. Change the one in lighting form to chain/ or change it to a beam of lighting she can hold. In wind the ability could do a knock back wind gust, and in ice it could be like, a cold wind gust that freezes. Like idk,give her some love, some character have like 10 abilities. Storm has 3 lol
Realistically she only has two abilities. A lightning bolt and a button to temporarily buff her auras. Her auras despite having a toggle are essentially passive abilities. Her team up with Thor should be in the base kit and teaming up with him should give Thor an extra ability, maybe a slightly stronger lightning bolt on a 25-30 second cooldown
I feel like the calls for removing her damage fall off would make Storm's piercing primary OP since you can do so much poke damage from a super safe distance. Based on her Kit, you're supposed to play with your team and do poke damage to far targets, your "full damage" is for enemy divers so you can save your backline. I think if you reframe your mind from " damage falloff" to "Bonus damage to close targets" it feels a lot better. It's kind of like how Punisher has a rifle for mid to long range and a shotgun for short range. However, I do think she's too slow as a flyer, makes it super hard to save yourself if your caught in a bad place. Maybe a gust of wind dodge or short distance dash can help with her survivability.
In my honest opinion she thrives with her teammates. She’s anti dive and supports her team so much. That’s being said in my ranked games, her damage to her wind shots need a slight buff or have a wider radius with current damage. She also needs to have a cylinder not a sphere or make the sphere bigger so when u go high at least two are in ur radius. Her speed form needs a little bit of speed buff or just her general movement speed needs one. The speed slow on enemies works sometimes in niche situations but it’s much better to use lightning form for extra damage. Her lightning form is awesome no changes needed as well as her lighting ability. Her team up with Thor is fine but could be combined with her lightning ability. Now her piercing is fine and still counterintuitive with her flying but it lowkey works when ur lower on the ground fighting with ur teammates. Her ult is amazing no changes needed. She’s very fun to play but I would buff her speed boost to have more effect on both teammates and enemies. AND NO RELOAD ON HER SHE DOES NOT NEED ONE!!
Love storm and want to main her, even if she's "flawed". Thank you for the video and hope to see more inspirational and educational Storm content in different maps and modes
I encountered a massive bug on console, (maybe on pc too, idk) If you rearrange the X, Square, Circle, or Triangle, button in control settings You permanently lose the combat functionality of the corresponding button. I accidentally remapped the X (jump) to a call-out and now i can't jump This bug affects all characters and is permanent!!! Everyone Please share this information so the devs take notice and fix this bug PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏
Interesting, because I wanted to move her ascend to lb(top left bumper) and descend to Lt (bottom left bumper) but when her descend is on LT the bottom doesn’t work at all. I have it opposite now which is a complete pain as LB is my jump on every game I play
It is a similar “wolverines should be a tank” situation. It is true her kit is shaped into a niche play style. 1.Her buff being a sphere. 2. Her auto can pierce 3.
Great video, alot of people are neglecting all the good she provides for your team and hyper focus on her lower than average dps vs other dps heroes. she's so versatile.
the Storm discourse reminds me of Wolverine, it seems like before the Pros 1 Trick, this confusing characters, all the newbies think they need buffs, instead of acclimating to said character's kit
She takes more time to kill because it really is a pain to kill good flyers nor can't you focus too much if you can't insta take em out or die to people on the ground due to the los breaking from looking up but if you're hard focused it's like an insta death. That's why I say just give boo at least a 4 shot and not a 5 shot. I love storms
i love playing storm and trying to main her but I have to disagree, she is slightly underwhelming with the boost ability, I feel the speed could speed things up by just a bit more and the damage could do a little bit more. she should also have a wind push ability, like her lightning strike but in wind mode be a push ability.
I think the main issue with Storm is mainly how bad her kit feels to play early on, especially without bans I really like her design in concept But a lot of her kit makes you feel like you arent doing that much (even when you are) or it just doesn’t feel amazing to hit certain abilities I dont think she needs massive buffs or anything crazy but maybe some shorter cooldowns and slight increases on her aura Cuz while this video kinda proves that the speed boost is quite good, it doesnt feel as impactful as it is for most ppl that pick up the character You immediately feel the difference with Lucio’s speed aura, not nearly as much with storm tho :/
I don't see why storm would not become hard meta in a few weeks. Lucio has been meta since 2016 for his speed aura so storm will probably be as well. The numbers are quite different though, storm is 8/20% while Lucio is 25/60%. But any amount of bonus speed is valuable I think. On top of that the damage aura sounds a lot better than Lucio's healing aura because it gives your team an ult advantage which is extremely valuable at any level of play. Also she has movement slow on enemies, difficult to predict how useful this will be in organized play
Wow! Thanks for these really informative and educational videos! They help not only for my Storm mindset, but also just for macro tips in general. I was wondering if there were any settings that you would recommend specific to Storm? 😮 I particularly have trouble flying up and down with the descend button being on Ctrl, but maybe that's a skill issue 😂 But yeah, just any other settings you find helpful for Storm players?
@ppeemg Ouuu, I never even thought about changing the orientation of my keyboard and how that might affect my gameplay. I'm gonna try that out. Anyway, can't wait to see more Storm content and happy early new years!
I have been having a lot of success playing quick matches with her, but I just can't on solo queued comp. I feel like a fish in a barrel every time. My highest rank is diamond 3 and I got demoted to platinum 2 with her haha, my teams are so pissed.
i’ve got to diamond with her and when i though i might actually have fun cuz hela and hawkeye bans and potentially luna who fks my ult, people just ban storm cuz they don’t want to be “trolled” by me 🥲🥲
Great vid but she needs buffs for sure. Her personal speed boost should be her regular speed and she should be able to be at max velocity and still buff team, also get rid of her reload . Minor things like that would A nice changes. That is all
i feel storm needs a bit of a buff, but nothing major, maybe tweaking her damage numbers a bit with her primary fire. I do wish she didnt have to reload, its wind, why does she need to reload, also why is there fall off? It's wind, she controls the weather, she shouldnt have fall off. I just wanna know my numbers for how much i'm buffing my team as well.
I’ve been saying Storm isnt as bad as people think… I’ve seen people say she’s the worst character in the game which is just insaneee imo. People always say she can’t get kills or her dmg is too low but I’ve found you actually can get a decent amount of kills and dmg on her. Also a team comp that is BUSTEEDDD with her is Dr.Strange, Hulk, Ironman, and Storm +2 healers. In a game with no Hela or Hawkeye, you can stomp harddd with that team. It’s just perfectly balanced between Offense and Defense. Those 3 are already strong af together but Storm just boosts them even more it’s nastyyy. Will be interesting to see her team up with Johnny!
With Thor team ability she can really delete another hero Really fast People should really focus more on team abilities Hulk, Ironman and Strange its another good team combo
I know this is going to be hard to answer since you arent in any of my games but how do you try to keep your damage up on storm? Most good games I be something like 18-5-20, 40% accuracy, 10 last hits, but will only have 7-10k damage (my tanks have that same damage) and the other dps be at 15-20k. I stay low, aim for tanks, and make sure i line up piercing as much as possible but it is just not adding up for some reason. I used to think its because storm auto attacks realistically only do 25 damage in team fights but every storm game i see people are keeping up their damage like normal. I'm sure as soon as i find out where this lost damage is i can break out of Gold 2-1 and go plat finally lmao
if you ever have a good healer on your team in your ranked games, invite them to duo. Used to do that in Overwatch when I was climbing and it helped me win more in the lower ranks.
Thats why every single match needs healers. If you played a tea. without healers ud loose 95% of the time. No healer can withstand without healers. Not even tanks
She has much weaker speed number than Lucio though. She's 8/20% and Lucio is 25/60% I think the thunder aura is much better by comparison because your team charge ult faster than the enemy team. So she has a real advantage compared to Lucio on that front, and the speed is just situational utility
Make Storm a strategist! Instead of healing she can get an ability that uplifts her team with an ability on a 10 second cool down that gives an 100 health shield to everyone. Keep her speed and damage buff, high damage ult stays and make her basic attacks 3 exchangable basic attacks which are thunder, ice and air that can alternate like Black Widow with a 3 second cool down between changing. Thunder does D.O.T damage and chain lighting that hits for 50 per hit with 25 chain lighting every consecutive hit which equals 75 to the main intial target and 25 to everyone in a 20 unit radius of main target, ice which slows the main target hit by 10 percent per hit max 50 percent that hits for 50, 60, 70, 85, 100 (after every consecutive hit, the more slow applied the more damage is done, with a cap of 100 per hit at 50 percent slow)After 3 seconds of no hit, slow gradually goes away from 50 40 30 20 10 unless hit again, to which slow is applied again and air which gradually decreases all damage output of main target by 10 20 30 40 50 percent, capping at 50 percent which will make a great counter to snipers and hawkeye, that way she can be a strategist that is all about debuffs and buffing with some damage potential with her ult and her chain lighting basic attack. That way she can be the leader she is known for while being all about uplifting her team and debuffing the enemy team.
@kamikeserpentail3778 it'll make her a viable and more playable strategist compared to a lack luster duelist. Literally in high rank there is no reason to play Storm. She's easily wiped out the sky and she's very slow and her basic are slow and curve and she's not very good. I love Storm and I believe her as a basic attack based strategist will make her better.
@@THEBONYGLAMBin high ranks there are storms that are dominating wdym there is no reason to player her lol. And making a strategist with no heals is a terrible idea that was tried in overwatch and failed miserably. Not every dps has to be a braindead dmg bot some dps characters can be utility oriented and some of these ideas could be worked into a dps storm kit or in future team up abilities.
@podimegwu12 I don't see any one playing Storm in high Evo and the ones that do only play her because they like the charecter. So I get what you mean but she's just so bad at almost every level of play except high levels, which factually speaking any pro player can make any charecter good, including the worse charecters in the game..
@@THEBONYGLAMB she right now has 51% win rate in comp and 75% percent win rate in the official marvel rival tournament going on right now (the highest winrate in the game atm) she isn’t the worst character nor is she bad it’s just low elo players suck with her. Same thing happened with wolverine/hulk/iron man, people cried about how terrible they were when in reality these characters are some of the best in the game 😂
I wish it was easier to aim/hit confirm on PS 😢my biggest thing I want to work on is my accuracy I try to stay 20% or higher. The best I’ve done is 38%
Controller really is barely a hinderance to aiming. I’ve hit gm in overwatch and pred in apex and gm3 in this game. Try playing higher sensitivity, i play max sense on most games 500/500 linear because imo its similar to overwatch so 180ing is important.
The biggest things I wish they’d change abt storm are 1.) remove her damage falloff and 2.) remove her need to reload. Also another thing, I am begging on my hands and knees for them to add a damage boosted section to the stats screen so I can know how much value I’m actually providing to my team.

@@ppeemg going onto the rivals website and finding out that her aura is the same range as her falloff is really step 1 to this character LOL
I think if there was one thing to say, about storms current state is that I think she could be more interesting and better. I love using her there is some lack of feeling that she does provide value. Its definitely not a loud character but for example her right click( alternate fire) doesn't really hit in certain ways. Idk I mean I was a sym main when i first started on overwatch so quiet characters I'm familiar with, especially lucio. It just feels odd outside of her ult and aura everything works on a level that isn't very visible as a DPS role no less.
Had a friend convince me she was above f tier (as i thought she was as a blind pick in ranked) but group speed+slow and dmg boost is wild as an insane poke, peel or aggression tool which is crazy useful in almost every single situation she might be too strong in team play 😂.
so many 'storm guides' that are just a guy rephrasing the abilities in the practice range. THANK YOU for making a guide with an actual high level game in it!
I think Stom is very interesting, I think she deserves some buffs, damage and increasing her life, in my view I think that her purpose is to protect the backline and buff the team, it's a type of dps very different from the classic "shoot and kill "we need more antidive dps on the game as well.
I also agree she could be bumped a bit in the health department as she's designed as a frontline dps, but also she's sitting near her healers by design and can play incredibly well around cover so I'm not sure she needs it. It shows when preston didn't die once in the attack phase of this video.
cleanest storm i’ve seen brother well played. loved the dad content and these are fire as well keep it up and much love
The more I see folks figuring out Storm's role as a backline defender, the more I'm thinking they need to switch her to a Vanguard or Strategist with heavy CC because she clearly isn't a damage dealer. In either case, she currently requires too much effort to get any value out of her compared to other heroes with better designed kits.
@@KryyssTV i got a video coming up soon where I do an absurd amount of damage on storm that might change your mind... stay tuned.
@ppeemg If you're talking about burning all her abilities at once, then don't bother because there are plenty of Duelists who don't need to do that to deal with being dived.
Im an eternity storm player too she definetly doesnt lack in dmg idk what you are saying most games i have most dmg
High effort characters are not design flaws, we dont need a game full of orissa's and mauga's
@tehcupcakes6868 After seeing how Starlord plays best by Ult charging off tanks, I put two and two together. Storm has piercing primary attacks, so I wondered if she is designed to be played the same way given how potent her Ult is for clearing objectives or hitting the backline.
And surely enough, this method proves to be very effective. You use her flying to line up your shots to pass through as many targets as possible, reserve her damage boost to protect supports being dived using the auto-hit lightning strike and just farm Ult charge on tanks when you cannot line up multiple opponents.
So much like how Wolverine has to be played a very specific way, it seems Ororo is intended to focus on charging her Ult. In that case I'd say her Ult needs to be easier to charge because by comparison Starlord can get it more than twice per round if done correctly while Storm will struggle to get it twice.
Yo thank u for this, I been running high assist + decent kill matches with her but I don’t know how to manage her much against highly skilled players in comp. This is perf
@@232tt80 More vids like this on the way, and I have another educational-style video on my channel as well from a few weeks ago.
Good to know that higher ranks can be played with Storm and succeed! Appreciate the tips and tricks brotha 👌🏽
Ty for teaching us all this. Im really enjoying storm now that i know how to use her properly and ive been popping off in matches with her
I dont think she needs to be turned into a support she does need to have her lightning attack refreshed on a kill and her Speed could use a buff also maybe give her an additional attack
I've really been enjoying Storm! On good games, I always end up with equal number kills and assists. I found your videos bc I was looking for tips to use the speed properly! Definitely has helped!
i think Strom should get a wider Aura field without Distance deterioration n a new Wind cooldown, cuz it seems weird she has Thunderbolts n no Wind Gale or something
Her basic attack is called wind blade and her teammup is charged gale
Okay while I do think storm is not terrrible, and she can benefit her team a lot, in game with Hawkeyes, hela, Winter soldiers, etc. I think she could benefit from some buffs. But more so than buffs….. I just want her kit to be more “storm” like. Like she’s a weather godess. But only controls lighting and wind? Idk, I just wanna see her do more. Maybe add another “ice aura” for damage reduction, and change her lighting bolt ability to match what her current aura is. Change the one in lighting form to chain/ or change it to a beam of lighting she can hold. In wind the ability could do a knock back wind gust, and in ice it could be like, a cold wind gust that freezes. Like idk,give her some love, some character have like 10 abilities. Storm has 3 lol
Realistically she only has two abilities. A lightning bolt and a button to temporarily buff her auras. Her auras despite having a toggle are essentially passive abilities. Her team up with Thor should be in the base kit and teaming up with him should give Thor an extra ability, maybe a slightly stronger lightning bolt on a 25-30 second cooldown
I feel like the calls for removing her damage fall off would make Storm's piercing primary OP since you can do so much poke damage from a super safe distance. Based on her Kit, you're supposed to play with your team and do poke damage to far targets, your "full damage" is for enemy divers so you can save your backline. I think if you reframe your mind from " damage falloff" to "Bonus damage to close targets" it feels a lot better.
It's kind of like how Punisher has a rifle for mid to long range and a shotgun for short range.
However, I do think she's too slow as a flyer, makes it super hard to save yourself if your caught in a bad place. Maybe a gust of wind dodge or short distance dash can help with her survivability.
In my honest opinion she thrives with her teammates. She’s anti dive and supports her team so much. That’s being said in my ranked games, her damage to her wind shots need a slight buff or have a wider radius with current damage. She also needs to have a cylinder not a sphere or make the sphere bigger so when u go high at least two are in ur radius. Her speed form needs a little bit of speed buff or just her general movement speed needs one. The speed slow on enemies works sometimes in niche situations but it’s much better to use lightning form for extra damage. Her lightning form is awesome no changes needed as well as her lighting ability. Her team up with Thor is fine but could be combined with her lightning ability. Now her piercing is fine and still counterintuitive with her flying but it lowkey works when ur lower on the ground fighting with ur teammates. Her ult is amazing no changes needed. She’s very fun to play but I would buff her speed boost to have more effect on both teammates and enemies. AND NO RELOAD ON HER SHE DOES NOT NEED ONE!!
Love storm and want to main her, even if she's "flawed". Thank you for the video and hope to see more inspirational and educational Storm content in different maps and modes
I encountered a massive bug on console, (maybe on pc too, idk)
If you rearrange the X, Square, Circle, or Triangle, button in control settings
You permanently lose the combat functionality of the corresponding button.
I accidentally remapped the X (jump) to a call-out and now i can't jump
This bug affects all characters and is permanent!!!
Everyone Please share this information so the devs take notice and fix this bug PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏
Interesting, because I wanted to move her ascend to lb(top left bumper) and descend to Lt (bottom left bumper) but when her descend is on LT the bottom doesn’t work at all. I have it opposite now which is a complete pain as LB is my jump on every game I play
It is a similar “wolverines should be a tank” situation. It is true her kit is shaped into a niche play style. 1.Her buff being a sphere. 2. Her auto can pierce 3.
Her projectile is slow and need skill with cd to kill make her kind like a brawler.
Honestly I believe autos should be a hit scan in lighting mode. Everything else is fine.
Great video, alot of people are neglecting all the good she provides for your team and hyper focus on her lower than average dps vs other dps heroes. she's so versatile.
the Storm discourse reminds me of Wolverine, it seems like before the Pros 1 Trick, this confusing characters, all the newbies think they need buffs, instead of acclimating to said character's kit
She takes more time to kill because it really is a pain to kill good flyers nor can't you focus too much if you can't insta take em out or die to people on the ground due to the los breaking from looking up but if you're hard focused it's like an insta death. That's why I say just give boo at least a 4 shot and not a 5 shot. I love storms
i love playing storm and trying to main her but I have to disagree, she is slightly underwhelming with the boost ability, I feel the speed could speed things up by just a bit more and the damage could do a little bit more. she should also have a wind push ability, like her lightning strike but in wind mode be a push ability.
I think the main issue with Storm is mainly how bad her kit feels to play early on, especially without bans
I really like her design in concept
But a lot of her kit makes you feel like you arent doing that much (even when you are) or it just doesn’t feel amazing to hit certain abilities
I dont think she needs massive buffs or anything crazy but maybe some shorter cooldowns and slight increases on her aura
Cuz while this video kinda proves that the speed boost is quite good, it doesnt feel as impactful as it is for most ppl that pick up the character
You immediately feel the difference with Lucio’s speed aura, not nearly as much with storm tho :/
I’m very interested to imagine how her meta will change after we get Human Torch
I know he only buffs her ult according to the leaks but still
Storm works best with tanks, speeding them in and then buffing their damage. Team comp matters
Okay I'm gonna play storm some more now
I don't see why storm would not become hard meta in a few weeks. Lucio has been meta since 2016 for his speed aura so storm will probably be as well.
The numbers are quite different though, storm is 8/20% while Lucio is 25/60%. But any amount of bonus speed is valuable I think.
On top of that the damage aura sounds a lot better than Lucio's healing aura because it gives your team an ult advantage which is extremely valuable at any level of play.
Also she has movement slow on enemies, difficult to predict how useful this will be in organized play
They really should have a toggle cape for her skins, its kinda silly how much less visible she is just by using a different skin
Wow! Thanks for these really informative and educational videos! They help not only for my Storm mindset, but also just for macro tips in general.
I was wondering if there were any settings that you would recommend specific to Storm? 😮 I particularly have trouble flying up and down with the descend button being on Ctrl, but maybe that's a skill issue 😂 But yeah, just any other settings you find helpful for Storm players?
i have my keyboard tilted 45° so ctrl doesnt feel bad for me. everything else is default
@ppeemg Ouuu, I never even thought about changing the orientation of my keyboard and how that might affect my gameplay. I'm gonna try that out.
Anyway, can't wait to see more Storm content and happy early new years!
I have been having a lot of success playing quick matches with her, but I just can't on solo queued comp. I feel like a fish in a barrel every time. My highest rank is diamond 3 and I got demoted to platinum 2 with her haha, my teams are so pissed.
i’ve got to diamond with her and when i though i might actually have fun cuz hela and hawkeye bans and potentially luna who fks my ult, people just ban storm cuz they don’t want to be “trolled” by me 🥲🥲
@@diogoroquemarques7904 soon people will see Storm isnt troll. stay strong fellow Stormer
Great vid but she needs buffs for sure. Her personal speed boost should be her regular speed and she should be able to be at max velocity and still buff team, also get rid of her reload . Minor things like that would A nice changes. That is all
i feel storm needs a bit of a buff, but nothing major, maybe tweaking her damage numbers a bit with her primary fire. I do wish she didnt have to reload, its wind, why does she need to reload, also why is there fall off? It's wind, she controls the weather, she shouldnt have fall off. I just wanna know my numbers for how much i'm buffing my team as well.
I’ve been saying Storm isnt as bad as people think… I’ve seen people say she’s the worst character in the game which is just insaneee imo. People always say she can’t get kills or her dmg is too low but I’ve found you actually can get a decent amount of kills and dmg on her.
Also a team comp that is BUSTEEDDD with her is Dr.Strange, Hulk, Ironman, and Storm +2 healers. In a game with no Hela or Hawkeye, you can stomp harddd with that team. It’s just perfectly balanced between Offense and Defense. Those 3 are already strong af together but Storm just boosts them even more it’s nastyyy.
Will be interesting to see her team up with Johnny!
@@bakad5458 yeah I think storm is super good. johnny is human torch in assuming?
With Thor team ability she can really delete another hero Really fast
People should really focus more on team abilities
Hulk, Ironman and Strange its another good team combo
Im level 20 and havent even touched comp yet. I feel like I want to know more and be more ready before I try.
Just play im lvl 29 and plat 1 solo you’ll learn by playing the game itself
Oh how I’ve been blessed
"i don't think storm needs a buff, let me show in this video why"
Proceeds to comments everywhere saying she needs a buff.
Make a storm match up tier list i havnt seen one yet ❤
i could do that!
I love her. she is an OP support.
I didn’t like storm at first because I didn’t play her right but once I learned… I just can’t get off her now
keep it up bro
When she’s in thunder mode does she get a damage boost?
yes
I know this is going to be hard to answer since you arent in any of my games but how do you try to keep your damage up on storm?
Most good games I be something like 18-5-20, 40% accuracy, 10 last hits, but will only have 7-10k damage (my tanks have that same damage) and the other dps be at 15-20k. I stay low, aim for tanks, and make sure i line up piercing as much as possible but it is just not adding up for some reason. I used to think its because storm auto attacks realistically only do 25 damage in team fights but every storm game i see people are keeping up their damage like normal.
I'm sure as soon as i find out where this lost damage is i can break out of Gold 2-1 and go plat finally lmao
Play with your team, and push with tanks. Your goddess boost (E) aura with lightning can add up really fast
The patch notes were posted and storm is getting faster fire rate and a damage buff!
Without a team smart enough to play around her its tough
how did you reach the highest proficiency so quicky man
i only play her
THANK U THANK UUUU
You get heals, thats the only problem i have.
if you ever have a good healer on your team in your ranked games, invite them to duo. Used to do that in Overwatch when I was climbing and it helped me win more in the lower ranks.
personally I play fairly close to the healers, as I want to protect them and keep them alive- this also helps with getting heals myself
Thats why every single match needs healers. If you played a tea. without healers ud loose 95% of the time. No healer can withstand without healers. Not even tanks
It’s clear storm plays like lucio. So her moving to a strategist role makes sense. Can keep the offensive ult too.
No, her pick rate would plummet
More than it already is^^
She has much weaker speed number than Lucio though. She's 8/20% and Lucio is 25/60%
I think the thunder aura is much better by comparison because your team charge ult faster than the enemy team. So she has a real advantage compared to Lucio on that front, and the speed is just situational utility
You dont have the white skin yet?! But you’re Lord w her?! Cmon gang! Lol 😝
I have it but the cape makes me appear larger in the sky
What's the elo of this game?
grandmaster
I think it's because she's just a weird character to play compared to OW heroes
22:53 Storm is the Lebron of marvel rivals
SO TRUE LOL
Storm has an identity crisis. She has very weak damage output but can buff her team. Why isn't she support?
Did you check the scoreboard in the video ?
Make Storm a strategist! Instead of healing she can get an ability that uplifts her team with an ability on a 10 second cool down that gives an 100 health shield to everyone. Keep her speed and damage buff, high damage ult stays and make her basic attacks 3 exchangable basic attacks which are thunder, ice and air that can alternate like Black Widow with a 3 second cool down between changing. Thunder does D.O.T damage and chain lighting that hits for 50 per hit with 25 chain lighting every consecutive hit which equals 75 to the main intial target and 25 to everyone in a 20 unit radius of main target, ice which slows the main target hit by 10 percent per hit max 50 percent that hits for 50, 60, 70, 85, 100 (after every consecutive hit, the more slow applied the more damage is done, with a cap of 100 per hit at 50 percent slow)After 3 seconds of no hit, slow gradually goes away from 50 40 30 20 10 unless hit again, to which slow is applied again and air which gradually decreases all damage output of main target by 10 20 30 40 50 percent, capping at 50 percent which will make a great counter to snipers and hawkeye, that way she can be a strategist that is all about debuffs and buffing with some damage potential with her ult and her chain lighting basic attack.
That way she can be the leader she is known for while being all about uplifting her team and debuffing the enemy team.
I don't want her damage nerfed.
@kamikeserpentail3778 it'll make her a viable and more playable strategist compared to a lack luster duelist. Literally in high rank there is no reason to play Storm. She's easily wiped out the sky and she's very slow and her basic are slow and curve and she's not very good. I love Storm and I believe her as a basic attack based strategist will make her better.
@@THEBONYGLAMBin high ranks there are storms that are dominating wdym there is no reason to player her lol. And making a strategist with no heals is a terrible idea that was tried in overwatch and failed miserably. Not every dps has to be a braindead dmg bot some dps characters can be utility oriented and some of these ideas could be worked into a dps storm kit or in future team up abilities.
@podimegwu12 I don't see any one playing Storm in high Evo and the ones that do only play her because they like the charecter. So I get what you mean but she's just so bad at almost every level of play except high levels, which factually speaking any pro player can make any charecter good, including the worse charecters in the game..
@@THEBONYGLAMB she right now has 51% win rate in comp and 75% percent win rate in the official marvel rival tournament going on right now (the highest winrate in the game atm) she isn’t the worst character nor is she bad it’s just low elo players suck with her. Same thing happened with wolverine/hulk/iron man, people cried about how terrible they were when in reality these characters are some of the best in the game 😂
Imagine playing a game with over 30 of the most iconic marvel characters and you decide to main storm.
@@kemoree giga chad behavior i think
storm is iconic what are u even on
Are u even an xmen fan if you think liking Storm, one of the many omega mutants, is lame?
Storm is easily one of the most iconic heroes that marvel has
@@carmeloalipayo no, I am not an X-Men fan, that is why I think storm is lame.
I wish it was easier to aim/hit confirm on PS 😢my biggest thing I want to work on is my accuracy I try to stay 20% or higher. The best I’ve done is 38%
Controller really is barely a hinderance to aiming. I’ve hit gm in overwatch and pred in apex and gm3 in this game. Try playing higher sensitivity, i play max sense on most games 500/500 linear because imo its similar to overwatch so 180ing is important.
I’ll try that thanks, more of a fighting game player my first shooting game fr since black ops 2
"Hit confirm" I know what you are
Rivals puts you on way too low of a base sensitivity, imo you should not be playing lower than 300 with a linear response curve
