howitzer is useless

Howitzer is a useless hero.

Everything about him is useless.

He doesnt scale, dies too fast, and his ult is crap.

At this point its better to just remove him.

Hes is really good when the right persons plays him, you just have to get good.

Maybe in previous versions.. not this one.

Certain heroes like Howitzer, Seraph, and a few others really require team synergy to do well, which is their downfall. Many heroes don't require that, and just roll these champs, so long as the skill gap isn't major.. yes I've rolled people with Howitzer, and Seraph but that's because the other player was significantly lower skill than me and brand new to the game..

These champs unless hella fed, are terrible.

I love Howitzer, he's awesome. Sincerely my favorite hero and he has a ton of utility. His abilities work very well together - max super missiles first or bust. My only gripe is a love/hate relationship with super missiles. They crank early, and they can keep doing so they entire game(abuse the CD in lane, and early). Thats what i love, but i hate that its a straight line fire from his left arm. its easy to get caught on terrain and mobs as it explodes if either are within a moderate proximity of the missile path, and compared to gideon/gadget with quick release aoe spells its feels a bit disadvantageous at times on the harass. Facing off an opponent using cover to your left puts you at a distinct disadvantage as you cant fire missiles without dramatically coming out of cover to expose your self, others just need to be able to place the aoe on the ground.

I like him. It has an interesting burst damage. Ult lacks oomph, but its useful. Maybe they could nerf the ult a little and make it a normal skill, while Q could get an insane buff and become his new ult like a giant rocket or something like that.

Imo, ultimate abilities should have a huge impact in a match. Thats why its called like that. Unfortunately, in this game its just another ability with huge Cooldown.

again this kind of stupid thread people never learn or stop jeez ... gaming is cursed

i dont agree, they can't make it OP. it already gives an escape and has a pretty huge AOE. it forces people to relocate mid teamfight which is generally not great, and you have ample time while in the air + falling to cast your other abilities like slow and knockback to get people back inside. is it easy to escape from? yeah... but, it still has the utility and once you build the item for slow on spell hit it pretty much has a 30% slow affect to anyone caught in it. IMO howitzer is good as is, though they shouldnt have nerfed his missile range: aoe abilities are just much easier to hit w/ and dont have the disadvantage of blowing up on terrain/mobs early on the way to an intended target.

Howitzer fun, Howitzer good. imo

Yeah they actually kept in that completely awful ult that no one liked, Unlike pred which redesigned an ability and his ult so he's actually fun to play.

Wraith literally just does a bettter job then him at his job.

Howitzer isn't useless, your failure to use him effectively is the actual issue.

And keep in mind, half the players, including myself, have been playing this game since it's original Early Access on March 14th 2016. Just practice, you'll get the hang of it.

His ult can be tricky to land when playing solo. But combined with other heroes abilities it can do some real damage. Dekker Ult + Howitzer ult = Big Boom

definition of a skill issue. ive been playing howi recently and dishing out some nasty damage
