@@Cheasle2She’s getting a buff to the damage of her ultimate which is an ability change in line of Iron Man’s, this means that Jonny’s getting the dps seasonal buff.
Yeah, I'm also a Storm main and she is super rewarding when played lower to the ground, near the back of your team, using cover effectively. My average elims with her per 10 mins rn is 20.7 which I believe is my highest with all characters.
@@liamrobinson6226I don’t do too bad with her staying in the air often, and what’s more I get to benefit the team while staying out of eyeline of the enemy, but I will admit my DPS and kills overall, while positive, aren’t typically the highest playing this way
The thing about Storm is... She's a close-range character. You go into the training hall, and look at what the game considers mid-range and she's not doing full damage for any of that, and she's doing half damage for half of that range. She's a close range character. And all of her attacks pierce. So it's no wonder a lot of people think she sucks when they fly way up in the air and shoot down at people, where their attacks are only doing half damage and angled to never hit more than one person...
@@Fernandopriet THIS. If she is intended as a close range hero, she sucks at it; you'll never be able to use her damage boost aura because she'll be too slow to chase or retreat. Not to mention she has no escape skill.
She actually shreds a team grouped up similar to moon knight. Anyone get to the backline while she is there they will get die especially if she pops the lightning.
some damage info for storm: in her wind mode it takes 6 normal attacks to kill a 250 hp character or 4 normal attacks and a bolt attack. In lighting mode it’s 5 normal or 3 and a bolt. When the damage boost is active it only takes 3 normal attacks or one basic and a bolt attack(with the passive lighting damage as well). if storm gets a buff one way to do it would be to shift some of these kill thresholds down
The things is, I really want to play storm. She’s been my favorite character since I was a kid. But if I so much as even think about it, the enemy team suddenly has Hawkeye, Hela, Punisher, and Cloak and Dagger
I like the way you play storm. Not overusing her flight, and fighting near your team more often. I also like the way you keep lay low until you get your ult. Storm usually gets overrated in a bad way that makes her unpopular. Keep up the great gameplay bruv you'll rise up not only yourself but others who play storm too
@@Azem4144 you can play her as more of a support/poke damage character because she has that one ability where she can boost herself and her allies either in speed and in damage. Her flight can be used as an escape route or for doing a strat when you have your ult charged up. It's just my own opinion tho, I don't play marvel rivals coz I don't have a PC(ye I'm broke as fu). But I'm pretty decent at analyzing game strats and statistics
Thanks for uploading some quality Storm gameplay, as a fellow Storm main I find it crazy how often people discount her because they dont understand her playstyle/gameplay loop. Shes not Ironman! Still hope she gets a dash though and they remove her reload.
@ I’m a storm main, I’d argue she is quite difficult to use effectively, you have to have very good positioning with her and play around cover well else she gets very easily punished by more dominant dps like Hela, Punisher, Bucky, Hawkeye etc. Her damage can also be lackluster unless you’re good with her because her projectiles are very slow moving and so it can be hard to aim and predict where to fire, compared to other characters like Hela who are just hitscan and just need to click on people.
I also play Storm. I'm theorizing that Lightning might become niche as people get better and that tornado is what you wanna sit in 90% of the time. The passive speed boost lets you line up shots better to get pierce shots more consistently, and then in boost mode it helps your team dodge ults, push targets, allude divers. I think the lightning is good in lower ranks when people don't know how to use the extra speed boost and the lightning consistently, but hey, that's just a game theory. I could be wrong, and the group damage boost is stronger than I give it credit for. But I do think outside of the boost sitting in tornado mode is better Edit: Especially since dive characters have lower cooldowns, it seems easy to bait out the lightning boost then re-engage
I have not seen anyone bait the lightning boost yet personally. Its also a good burst mechanic for squishies when you press E. Still extremely useful higher up. the 15% can make your team run through someone sometimes when they otherwise wouldnt
Hard disagree 8% for multiple people is huge this means people will require more resources more often which then plays into the wind for better for better chase down. Storm also is pretty week in her wind form lighting form ensures she is able to properly do her role. Neither form is really better than the other they complement each other which is what I generally find is this game strong point.
@@lordmew5 I disagree. Regardless of if she's in lightning form or not her DPS isn't anything to write home about compared to other duelist, outside of boost of course. I think she needs to be going for multi hits to be viable compared to characters like Bucky and Hela. Else she just doesn't compare really. Also, Heals are really strong in this game, I wonder if the damage boost is worth it when there are characters like Adam Warlock and Luna Snow. Besides, if you're harder to hit, the more room your strategist have to deal damage effectively giving you the effect of thunder (the extra dps) while in tornado, also the enemy is slowed making them easier to crit.
@@ppeemg I see where you're coming from. I think the combo potential to hit a shot, then pop boost to burn someone quickly might be something I have to try, I saw you do that in the video. But also, heals are really strong in this game, I wonder if the damage boost is worth it when there are characters like Adam Warlock and Luna Snow. Besides, if you're harder to hit, the more room your strategist have to deal damage, and the slow makes them easier to crit, effectively giving you the effect of thunder (the extra dps) while in tornado. Just food for thought, cause I do think the turn and burn aspect of thunder is strong, but tornado is so versatile, and switching back n forth between the 2 really cuts into Storms already low DPS. I wish the animation for switching between the modes was smoother
I hope it doesn't change Storm's kit. If they plan to make a change, I hope it's just a buff and I hope they don't change it to support either. I really love the concept and I hope it stays that way.
32:54 Notice the extra little clutter on the thunder symbol after Bolt Rush? I’ve had the entire symbol filled out this way as two blue thunder symbols! What causes this? It seems like a hidden damage mechanic I can’t figure out! 32:52 •Goddess boost was on cooldown •Thor was not on your team •You swapped from tornado to thunder •You landed a Single wind blade and a single Bolt Rush on a single enemy and it triggered •Only one teammate was boosted •The same level persisted from 32:54 all the way until 32:59 when you popped goddess boost and it did not grow even though I’ve seen the meter full before! This is a rare occurrence that I assumed it was a bug or team up thing, but don’t think so! I can’t make it happen in training either. Can anyone make sense of this? It’s a completely original icon not seemingly associated with her abilities or mentioned in her hero info!
i like the character and her ult is really good but i get so bored just spamming shots from the back. and with no good healers, i just get deleted out of the sky
Best to to stay low to ground near your team and the higher you are the less dmg you deal. If play right you should have a ton of assist almost every game if you team is decent
I don’t think Storm is bad but she probably has the highest skill floor of the dps role. Having to constantly hit slower projectiles while also compensating for the y axis to get value is a lot to ask for just to be effective. There’s a reason Ironman has splash damage.
High skill ceiling doesn’t mean not many can play her. It means they’re playable and potentially overpowered if a player can master them. Moonknight and Magik for example have high skill ceiling, as in, anyone can play them and do decent but you can make even higher skilled plays with them becuase their kit has extra steps for extra value. Storm is bad and no regular person can pick her up and get value. Unless your high elo such as this UA-cam vid, you can do decent. I’ve played a bunch of Storm and I think she’s kinda fun only when the other team is brain dead tho.
She isn't hard at all. She just doesn't have a very good or active kit. Half of it is swapping between passive and then empowering it. It's not something that requires much input. Plus slow auto attacks and an ok ult. She really just doesn't have a good kit.
@@ethanheard9208think of it like this, mantis usually has to micromanage her life orbs. Storm has to micromanage her positioning like that. Being 2ft away from the perfect position could be detrimental and cause her, her life or she doesn’t get ANY value. Whereas other characters can get away most of the time. I do think she needs buffed. But she’s not as bad as people make her out to be
I still see that Storm requires buffs at least in speed and damage, if she is a duelist, for sure. And her power kit doesn't reflect her properly. Where is the ice, rain and the defenses which Storm has on all the time? Like temperature resistance and pressure domes?
Because she's super slow and you're not using half her kit if you're 40 feet over your teams head. If you're high off the ground then the only part of her kit that you're using is her auto and alt attacks.....which aren't great.
@@ethanheard9208 Yeah for a character with infinite verticality, her kit does nothing to encourage it. Until there's an Ana-type character who can be more proactive at healing, she never wants to be that high up.
When they put enough X-men in that fill all the roles, that synergy skill and boost gonna be crazy, cause I know they’re gonna have a crazy avengers boost and skill too at some point, like full team synergy instead of just 2 or 3 people
Not bad! I’ve done 35 kills in a single match. Storm really goes crazy if you know how to use her and pair her with the right team. The dev’s definitely didn’t give her the strongest or best kit, but she still holds a lot of potential
Tbf I wouldn't be so hard on yourself... It may not necessarily he that you're "bad at flyers", it's just that soooo many heroes just shut flyers down so easily. It gets to a point where you have to put in a LOT more work to do well than everyone else who can delete you by merely looking in your direction. To top it all off, not only is Storm a slow flyer, she does F all damage so you're only ever going to do well with her if you're an absolute sweat high ELO player.
Watching you play her taught me how to play because I was definitely trying to play like a pharah and just be in the sky instead of using her jiggle peak or her E to blast divers trying to get in range
Yeah that shit needs a nerf, it can also grab me on Thor while on the air doing my ulti.Like ok dont make it that people can just jump, but a few meters higher you should be immune.
I think she is severely underrated. I know she has weaknesses, but seriously? That Damage boost and movement boost/slow is SO undervalued by teams. She has constantly gotten me MVPs, Storm DOES have a fun playstyle and it wouldnt take much of a buff to make her seriously powerful.
You're welcome for givin' you your thousandth subscriber! I never see good Storm players, and this makes me wanna play her. You're a damn menace, and I wanna learn to play this good. Have a great day, lad! :3
People are really sleeping on Storm, she's really good. People just don't know how to use her properly, this is exactly how you play storm. Around the team to boost damage, poke and poke and pick people off, using ult in chokepoints and objectives and go after the healers always. She is my main, she just need a slight movement boost and her to have infinite on the basic and maybe one more weather mode like a blizzard mode that stuns and blind the enemies with DOT/tick damage within her aoe circle and she would see more play. that being said I'm interested to see how Human Torch will make her better with their team up.
The 9:19 Jeff ult grab is ridiculous. How far up does it go??? I'm not even upset with the balancing of it going up that high, I just think the visual needs to match the hitbox because Storm was CLEARLY visually far enough up in the air to not get eaten.
I’ve been playing with Storm since season 0 and the highest I got was 27 KO’s. I got on yesterday morning at 50 KO’s and 26 Final hits. So before the buff I was doing half the amount of KO to final hits ratio. I love playing with her.
i think sometimes the issue with storm is that her camera angle for aiming feels too far a certain direction so i struggle getting damage that you have to peak in and out around iffy spots for
The reason Jeff can chomp u from all the way down there is I think bc some kind of detection thing is present so that she can count as being on points while never technically being able to touch the ground I kinda do hope they adjust it to be a sphere for where she counts or something like that because he can still grab you from ridiculously high up
its so boring how storm , an omega level mutant shoots little wind blades that do no damage instead of being the master of the elements and bring down lightning bolts and thunder on top of enemies. So much wasted potential.
Some random buff ideas would be some more utility like adding a fog to certain parts of the map like valorant, create more blind spots. Maybe a quick boost either upward or any direction. I would love faster in her movement when in wind
What do you have bound to decend with her? The way you fly up and down feels too smooth. But ive always struggled to stretch my pinky to the CTRL key, so maybe thats a skill issue on my end lol
I bound my decend to shift for all my fliers. Its much easier on the hands. I have a lot of buttons to bind to on my mouse so it covers other abilities.
Storm has been my favorite since the Chris Claremont days. I was determined to main her in Rivals despite all the dirt on her name. I searched and found your "Hits Top 500" video from a couple weeks back. Now I'm regularly a top performer in casual lobbies! Thanks for representing the Goddess. You're my hero.
Preston? OH ITS YOU omg you’re an inspiration I picked storm back up because of you! 😂 Thanks! I got discouraged because everyone was literally on my ass :(
@@ppeemgeven if she doesn’t need a buff, from just a game design perspective, her right click needs to be better, as is it’s just a slightly better left click. It has nothing going for it despite its CD.
@@DerfyRed yeah that was my first thought when picking up the character. It was surprising to see that the real only advantage it had going for it was that it was hitscan
@@ppeemglike, seriously please explain what I’m missing. Her right click takes just about 1 second to cast and deal damage, it does 70, it has an 8 second CD. Compared to her default attack, it’s worse DPS, 50 damage 0.5 seconds, so 100>70 DPS. They both pierce but it has no damage falloff, so the only benefit is that, and it’s easier to land. The only way it’s useful is breaking damage thresholds, which is fairly meaningless when it’s 3 left 1 right VS 5 left in lightning mode, and it doesn’t help in wind mode. So you save that small amount of time assuming the right click is actually less than a full second. And with all the healing in the game, that’s not often really what happens. How is that worth in any way. From what I know, it’s objectively worse if you have good aim. Most other games would have this be a real alt fire, no added CD, you pick between faster lower damage with better sustained DPS or slower higher damage with less sustained DPS.
Or just make her two modes effect her attacks as well. Lightning makes them chain Lightning. Tornado makes them have a 10% slow. Empower makes chain have increased chain range and damage, empower makes tornado spawn tornadoes behind the enemy you hit that travels in a straight line and knocks up enemies hit.
I was looking for this, there are so many clips of marvel rivals with each character showing off how op they could be but none of those clips include Storm AT ALL. It's a shame really, I feel like every character needs a niche of sorts to really shine and everybody giving up on Storm just feels bad. Like I feel like there are far more clips of Spiderman, who requires at least a PhD in physics to understand, than there are of Storm.
11:00 i'd suggest, once you get into a high elo lobby, instantly say 'best Storm NA' and they will actually play the game, i've seen it with some streamers, some OTP with an unpopular character will say that, and the team will instantly lock in, instead of doubt the pick or think is a troll pick
I really like how Storm plays despite a few shortcomings. I wish wind mode grsnted her a defensive mobility option. I think the movement boost isn't enough. She feels like a sitting duck to the likes of Star Lord, Hela and Iron Man. I am still pretty bad with her(Kinds bad in general still) but I really have to use the environment to my advantage just to feel like I can survive some encoutners.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but when I play Strange and there’s a Storm on my team, my Dark Magic meter charges faster in when she’s in lightning mode because it’s damage based I think
I just started playing her since the devs HATE Widow. She is sooo good and fun. I get most assists a game and about 20 or more kills a game. Wanna know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning...
I don't see you empower with lightning E before you ult, is there a reason for that? Does it not shock with lightning around you the entire time you're in your ult for extra damage?
Stom would be so op if they made her lightning attack do a small aoe or her wind attack hitscan. My biggest problem with her is it's hard to hit other flying heroes so the hitscan would be more welcomed.
I really hope storm gets a buff. She doesn’t even really need a damage buff either, Imo she needs a speed boost to her movement and her aoe speed boost.
@ oh wow I had no idea, been thinking about trying her out and your vids are the reason. Honestly might be better not having to worry about hitting headshots because you can’t.
I would only buff her goddess boost duration, giving it like 15 seconds duration, with 15 cooldown. She's actually good in the rest. Probably boosting a bit her speed with the tornado weather, but no urgent need of that.

They need to make the movement boost faster and/or the slow better. I can barely feel it or tell that theyve been slowed. She could use and air dash which would be good too.

Because she's super slow and you're not using half her kit if you're 40 feet over your teams head. If you're high off the ground then the only part of her kit that you're using is her auto and alt attacks.....which aren't great.
@@ethanheard9208 Yeah for a character with infinite verticality, her kit does nothing to encourage it. Until there's an Ana-type character who can be more proactive at healing, she never wants to be that high up.
When they put enough X-men in that fill all the roles, that synergy skill and boost gonna be crazy, cause I know they’re gonna have a crazy avengers boost and skill too at some point, like full team synergy instead of just 2 or 3 people
Human torch is going to enhance her ultimate when he comes out
Not bad! I’ve done 35 kills in a single match. Storm really goes crazy if you know how to use her and pair her with the right team. The dev’s definitely didn’t give her the strongest or best kit, but she still holds a lot of potential
That Iron Fist will hate you forever 😂
The damage boost is 16% to yourself, 8% to allies going to 30% to yourself and 12% to allies when boosted - not 15%
where'd you get this info from?
@@ppeemgit’s on the marvel website
@@ppeemgGo on marvel rivals website it says 12% percent for allies
oh what the heck the website is new now. didnt even see that. my bad. yeah check the marvel rivals website everyone.
I think you've inspired me to try Storm again. I love her as a character but I'm usually bad at flyers
Tbf I wouldn't be so hard on yourself... It may not necessarily he that you're "bad at flyers", it's just that soooo many heroes just shut flyers down so easily. It gets to a point where you have to put in a LOT more work to do well than everyone else who can delete you by merely looking in your direction.
To top it all off, not only is Storm a slow flyer, she does F all damage so you're only ever going to do well with her if you're an absolute sweat high ELO player.
Watching you play her taught me how to play because I was definitely trying to play like a pharah and just be in the sky instead of using her jiggle peak or her E to blast divers trying to get in range
Storm should never get grabbed by Jeff's ult imo
You realize it grabs way in the air as well, right? Also… it won’t kill her because she won’t fall after being spit o it she just starts flying again
Yeah that shit needs a nerf, it can also grab me on Thor while on the air doing my ulti.Like ok dont make it that people can just jump, but a few meters higher you should be immune.
I think she is severely underrated. I know she has weaknesses, but seriously? That Damage boost and movement boost/slow is SO undervalued by teams. She has constantly gotten me MVPs, Storm DOES have a fun playstyle and it wouldnt take much of a buff to make her seriously powerful.
You're welcome for givin' you your thousandth subscriber! I never see good Storm players, and this makes me wanna play her. You're a damn menace, and I wanna learn to play this good. Have a great day, lad! :3
WAS REFRESHING WAITING FOR IT AT 999 LOL TY
@@ppeemg No problem! Keep up the baller ass Storm gameplay, lad! You're genuinely so good. Hope I can get good.
that rocket in the second game was hilarious
He knows the next step of the operation
People are really sleeping on Storm, she's really good. People just don't know how to use her properly, this is exactly how you play storm. Around the team to boost damage, poke and poke and pick people off, using ult in chokepoints and objectives and go after the healers always. She is my main, she just need a slight movement boost and her to have infinite on the basic and maybe one more weather mode like a blizzard mode that stuns and blind the enemies with DOT/tick damage within her aoe circle and she would see more play. that being said I'm interested to see how Human Torch will make her better with their team up.
This - she builds her ult so fast you can usually get it before the enemy supports can. So you basically win every first team fight.
Glad this video popped up. This black beauty needs more love.
…huh😅
😭😭😭
Hope you’re black as well saying that…otherwise, it’s just weird & lowkey fetishy..
I don’t think they meant it weirdly lmao
Since the Human Torch will have a teamup with her, She, thor, and Human Torch will be a crazy core
Nice gameplay. I love how everyone calls her bad when they just don’t know how to play her. Storm mains stand up
Im right here with you, ngl tho she could use a buff
Just because there's high elo players of a bad champion doesn't make them OP. This applies to every single video game lmfao
Just because people do good on a characters doesn’t mean that character is good.
Exactly. She has a 55% win rate in ranked. Not bad at all.
People try to play her like iron Man and play flanks and high but she's better sticking with her tram to keep the buff up
Her animations are beautiful. Subbed🤤
29:38 they were locked in for so long not saying anything and then out of nowhere….. “Ugggghhh” 😂
14:55 That Wolverine said:
"I'M BA-" *BZZZZZZZZZRT*
i didnt even hear that lol
@@ppeemgHonestly, that was a joke that turned out to be true. I can't take credit for that.
17:36 That ult indicator was like: "... wait, did he reach one hundre.. OH SH*T, 'Your ult is READY', jesus that was close..."
Glad to see one of the 4 storm players thriving
The 9:19 Jeff ult grab is ridiculous. How far up does it go??? I'm not even upset with the balancing of it going up that high, I just think the visual needs to match the hitbox because Storm was CLEARLY visually far enough up in the air to not get eaten.
This game is definitely PC favored
Competitive also isnt crossplay so thats good at least for that
Had a game where I went 30-0-30 on storm, evidently that was the game that I finally used my mic
Her lightning bolts should work similar to moon nights bullshit projectiles
Yeah a LIGHTNING attack that doesn't chain or arc to anyone else is so lame
@@ethanheard9208her thor team up chain lightning should be her base kit fr
I love the sight when capeless Strom is flying slightly above me
Thank you for spreading the good word: Storm slaps.
As a captain America main, thanks for playing storm. You doing a damn good job too 💯🔥
Her primary attack feels like throwing empty fart winds
I love playing her my problem as a bad player is that she only feels like a complete kit with the Thor teamup
I’ve been playing with Storm since season 0 and the highest I got was 27 KO’s. I got on yesterday morning at 50 KO’s and 26 Final hits. So before the buff I was doing half the amount of KO to final hits ratio. I love playing with her.
i think sometimes the issue with storm is that her camera angle for aiming feels too far a certain direction so i struggle getting damage that you have to peak in and out around iffy spots for
Nice gameplay!! storm is really difficult to me
I just think for someone who’s known to have great control over a lot of different elements she releses way too slow
and they gave her wind reloading like what ??
you're the coolest nerd i've ever seen, keep it up
The reason Jeff can chomp u from all the way down there is I think bc some kind of detection thing is present so that she can count as being on points while never technically being able to touch the ground I kinda do hope they adjust it to be a sphere for where she counts or something like that because he can still grab you from ridiculously high up
Honestly I know she's hard to play but you kill it man. Gives me motivation to keep trying her
@@xSilverWolfx15 its like sisyphus' boulder. just gotta keep pushing that rock.
its so boring how storm , an omega level mutant shoots little wind blades that do no damage instead of being the master of the elements and bring down lightning bolts and thunder on top of enemies. So much wasted potential.
Or creating tornados 24/7. She should be tearing up the area whenever she's around, but instead no one feels her presence outside of her ult. 😭
First of all she does shoot lighting and turn into a hurricane. Second of all, thunder is a sound not something you shoot.
bro put out more storm content! love it
@@os3688 on the way!
Broo the moment luna died during ult to two aoe ults made my day haha
Some random buff ideas would be some more utility like adding a fog to certain parts of the map like valorant, create more blind spots.
Maybe a quick boost either upward or any direction. I would love faster in her movement when in wind
You picked a hero that will soon become meta when Human Torch is added - she combos with him.
@@lemontwiss How do you know this?
@@ppeemg it got leaked a while ago
Fr it won’t take much of a damage boost to make her a real goddess in the game. She’s probably going to get the seasonal boost too with the F4
Storm should be the character that has bouncing attacks not Moonknight or just make storm a DPS support like Adam.
What do you have bound to decend with her? The way you fly up and down feels too smooth. But ive always struggled to stretch my pinky to the CTRL key, so maybe thats a skill issue on my end lol
@@traviseaves5195 ctrl for me. i have my keyboard tilted like almost 45° tho
I bound my decend to shift for all my fliers. Its much easier on the hands. I have a lot of buttons to bind to on my mouse so it covers other abilities.
Get a mouse with side buttons. Solves all your problems. That thumb ain’t doing nothing anyways
Storm has been my favorite since the Chris Claremont days. I was determined to main her in Rivals despite all the dirt on her name. I searched and found your "Hits Top 500" video from a couple weeks back. Now I'm regularly a top performer in casual lobbies! Thanks for representing the Goddess. You're my hero.
36:04
then she got an idea.. an *awful* idea
storm got a wonderful.. *awful idea*
"i know.. just what to do"
“No defensive ults”
I can’t wait til people actually know what Cloak and Dagger does
Preston? OH ITS YOU omg you’re an inspiration I picked storm back up because of you! 😂 Thanks! I got discouraged because everyone was literally on my ass :(
@@cauqii721 We are Sisyphus pushing the boulder that is Storm. Stay strong.
Make bolt rush chain to nearby enemies! Also give storm 7m/s move speed like black panther and wolverine
i dont think storm needs any buffs. shes goated as is.
@@ppeemgeven if she doesn’t need a buff, from just a game design perspective, her right click needs to be better, as is it’s just a slightly better left click. It has nothing going for it despite its CD.
@@DerfyRed yeah that was my first thought when picking up the character. It was surprising to see that the real only advantage it had going for it was that it was hitscan
@@ppeemglike, seriously please explain what I’m missing. Her right click takes just about 1 second to cast and deal damage, it does 70, it has an 8 second CD. Compared to her default attack, it’s worse DPS, 50 damage 0.5 seconds, so 100>70 DPS. They both pierce but it has no damage falloff, so the only benefit is that, and it’s easier to land. The only way it’s useful is breaking damage thresholds, which is fairly meaningless when it’s 3 left 1 right VS 5 left in lightning mode, and it doesn’t help in wind mode. So you save that small amount of time assuming the right click is actually less than a full second. And with all the healing in the game, that’s not often really what happens. How is that worth in any way. From what I know, it’s objectively worse if you have good aim. Most other games would have this be a real alt fire, no added CD, you pick between faster lower damage with better sustained DPS or slower higher damage with less sustained DPS.
Very nice storm. I’m glad my playstyle is similar. It sucks that people don’t play her more
Thumbnail tuff as hell
@@Ydon23rising workin on that lol
As much as you see how good storm can be in this video, you also see how much she sucks lol
there are storms above you, love
@@ascendi2403 this vid is like 2 weeks old
“That’s actually tech! 🤓 ☝️”
This is very motivating me to play Storm and stick with her.
I still think she needs a buff like make her hit scan and slightly buff her Dmg
Or just make her two modes effect her attacks as well. Lightning makes them chain Lightning. Tornado makes them have a 10% slow. Empower makes chain have increased chain range and damage, empower makes tornado spawn tornadoes behind the enemy you hit that travels in a straight line and knocks up enemies hit.
I was looking for this, there are so many clips of marvel rivals with each character showing off how op they could be but none of those clips include Storm AT ALL. It's a shame really, I feel like every character needs a niche of sorts to really shine and everybody giving up on Storm just feels bad. Like I feel like there are far more clips of Spiderman, who requires at least a PhD in physics to understand, than there are of Storm.
11:00 i'd suggest, once you get into a high elo lobby, instantly say 'best Storm NA' and they will actually play the game, i've seen it with some streamers, some OTP with an unpopular character will say that, and the team will instantly lock in, instead of doubt the pick or think is a troll pick
When I've said that, they go "Yeah bc youre literally the only one" 😭😭.
Honestly the skin without the cape is better to help you from being picked off as easily
I really like how Storm plays despite a few shortcomings. I wish wind mode grsnted her a defensive mobility option. I think the movement boost isn't enough. She feels like a sitting duck to the likes of Star Lord, Hela and Iron Man.
I am still pretty bad with her(Kinds bad in general still) but I really have to use the environment to my advantage just to feel like I can survive some encoutners.
Their iron fist was lowkey throwing, lol. He needs to stop trying to dive the back line. 😭
Dude thought they were in quick play
2-2-2 vs 1-3-2 as well yeah kind of a throw
Correct me if I’m wrong, but when I play Strange and there’s a Storm on my team, my Dark Magic meter charges faster in when she’s in lightning mode because it’s damage based I think
Would you do a Storm guide video?
have something like that out on my channel already. its an "educational video" rather than a guide though
I just started playing her since the devs HATE Widow. She is sooo good and fun. I get most assists a game and about 20 or more kills a game. Wanna know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning...
I don't see you empower with lightning E before you ult, is there a reason for that? Does it not shock with lightning around you the entire time you're in your ult for extra damage?
I just tested, nevermind. I'm surprised it doesn't.
In the description for the ult on the Marvel Rivals site it mentions that it disables all weather effects in ult.
@@hakuakuma1426Kind of ridiculous tbh
I love Storm, good job!
That ult is one of the best in the game
Stom would be so op if they made her lightning attack do a small aoe or her wind attack hitscan. My biggest problem with her is it's hard to hit other flying heroes so the hitscan would be more welcomed.
9:38 the next minute of rocket juking begins XDD how did he survive so long lmao
Lore accurate Rocket
I understand why she can't have it but a neutral walkspeed increase would be so nice
I really hope storm gets a buff. She doesn’t even really need a damage buff either, Imo she needs a speed boost to her movement and her aoe speed boost.
this heroes M1 is heartbreaking
Are you actively going for headshots? Or aiming for center mass most of the time?
@@jeremymelendez8406 you cant headshot on storm, so just hitting people
@ oh wow I had no idea, been thinking about trying her out and your vids are the reason. Honestly might be better not having to worry about hitting headshots because you can’t.
Also, it's a projectile, not hitscan, so prefiring and choosing the right angle is important
If you had to buff storm, what changes would you make?
Increase buff range and actual stats of the buffs, make her proyectiles fly faster and possibly lower the cds
I would only buff her goddess boost duration, giving it like 15 seconds duration, with 15 cooldown. She's actually good in the rest. Probably boosting a bit her speed with the tornado weather, but no urgent need of that.

really big arms, then remove her legs.
I really love playing storm she is my main and seeing gameplays of her makes me very happy
They need to make the movement boost faster and/or the slow better. I can barely feel it or tell that theyve been slowed. She could use and air dash which would be good too.
I understand now.
