Stadium was 100% better without Freja, if you disagree that’s fine. Mercy rule should 100% not be how it is. Make it a team vote or literally anything other than what it is now. I’d rather spend a minute getting rolled in a fourth round than be forced to give up every time we lose 3 in a row when a lot of the time, it is 100% recoverable. Make it a vote or something, if 4/5 people on the losing team vote to go into round 4, make it happen. Cash scales far too different in favor of some heroes over others as well.
Looking for an actual discussion on these thoughts, I know trolls will be trolls but other’s genuine thoughts would be appreciated
Idk what they were thinking adding a flying DPS hero to stadium already. Y’know, the ones that players of all ranks have historically struggled against? Every Freja I play against uses the bola powers and it’s like a mini-grav with hinder every 5 seconds directly into your backline while she’s 100 feet in the sky with a Mercy blue beaming her. There is so much damage flying around in Stadium that you die to the 4 enemies on the ground if you look up to try and kill her. She is way too strong for how hard she can be to kill. Not picking her in stadium is throwing, basically.
Aside from the fact that every Damage-role hero has a mini-ultimate in Powers list, I do find it kinda strange on why they would give Freja a kind of control-based build, when she really didn’t need one.
It’s fine if they wanted to play with Bola more, but giving it the kind of power that Tanks tend to specialize in seems like Overkill.
Especially when you start running Cooldown reduction to get Updraft’s cooldown even further.
Ehhh… while I can take arguments for Mercy, and maybe even the kitted out Stadium Moira… I wouldn’t say Juno, Freja, or even D.va qualify as fliers.
Only Echo, and Pharah would qualify. Maybe Sigma if we’re being really broad.
Ehh, just wait. Players will be complaining about Pharah and Echo soon enough.
We’ll have to wait and see. If the trends continue, Pharah will get a min-Barrage ultimate, and the ability to carpet-bomb 20 meters, ala Downpour, in Stadium when she arrives.
Wild insinuation. I’ve topped leaderboards in dps, healing, and elims all in the same round and gotten less than a mercy or kiri who did half of all of that.
the mercy rule seems pointless to me and there are quite a few times where i have bounced back from a 3 round losing streak and won it all
it should either be an optional vote or not there at all
i dont believe there is any way to check the cash multipliers in-game so other than anecdotal evidence i have no idea how widely it varies between each hero
i do think cassidy is a money making machine given that he has a specific item that gives him bonus money per deadeye kill
Would only be fair if later added heroes are bann immune and old stadium heroes aren’t as the old heroes currently can play and not face certain heroes while other cannot.
or blizzard knows some heroes are played by better players and they can handle the whole roaster while the few OG stadium heroes have players that cannot.
