[Eskay] "How it feels to play Kiriko"

Gameplay Loop:

  • Sneak into backline, try to get a kill. And TP back when unsafe.
  • “The Widow of Supports” - Really strong, Really difficult
  • Flex Support and OffSupport, Not a Main Healer

Teleport:

  • 30m range

Kunai:

  • 120 damage headshot
  • 40 damage bodyshot
  • Lucio projectile speed
  • Widow projectile size
  • Even at Zarya Beam range (15m) landing headshots isn’t easy

Healing

  • Somewhere around Mercy heal output at 55hps
  • Cannot DPS and Heal at same time
  • Throw 4 cards and reload
  • Can cancel it by clicking again
  • Kinda slow projectile speed
  • Card is green when not locked on
  • Card is yellow when locked onto a teammate
  • Aim is similar to Moira Primary

Protection Suzu

  • 25-30sec cooldown
  • 0.7sec duration
  • About the size of Ana nade (8m wide)
  • Blocks Shatter and EMP and Lucio Boop and Hog Hook
  • Slow projectile - Unless thrown at feet, it takes a while (Lucio Primary Fire) - Requires prediction
  • Great against Pulse Bombs

Kitsune Rush

  • 2x Attack Speed
  • Move speed percent ??
  • Cooldown reduction…???
  • Bastion combo is LOL
  • Takes about as long to charge as Zen Ult
  • Does not go through walls

Well 30m is 1.5x the width on an objective.

It is the length you can GA…
(outside of valk)

So it is pretty long.

I was thinking that for a teleport sombra hack range felt fine
Guess we’ll have to see cast times and fixed a bug where Kiriko could reach unintended locations

It is designed so you can move to your flankers, and attack with them.

so… heal heal heal, oh, flanker is about to attack, blink attack attack, health the flanker, blink heal heal heal.

It could be, if you wanna pay to be put into a medically induced coma.

Her biggest weakness is against flankers your only choice is to run.

Her attacks are pretty much useless vs them.

Yep. That pretty much is it.

Why? Because her projectile primary has a small hitbox?

Small hitbox, slow projectile speed, meh damage on bodyshots.

Small, slow, and doesn’t do much outside headshots.

ML7, and Eskay ended up 1v1ing, they have 15 shots per clip, and had to reload 4 times before they could kill the other.

It is useless vs Flankers. Because you would have to be a LOT better than ML7 or Eskay to even have a chance in using it against them.

Lol, Mercy damage boosted headshot for 156 damage.
With 52 damage bodyshot

Or 150 with zen boost, and 50 with bodyshots

Perfect breakpoints

I like how many people would tell me that gameplay loop was incompatible with being a Support and therefore why Support Sombra could never had worked and now we’re getting exactly that.

Looks at Moira. I don’t think those people have a clue.

And yeah, support Sombra should have been a thing.

She’s going to be a hero that either carries a match or does absolutely nothing based on who’s playing her. There won’t be an in between.
