Storm Ult needs a nerf

[HEEM JEFFE]

I know she was just buffed but Jesus Christ did they buff her too much. Her Ult is the main concern I have. It's a teleport that practically instakills an entire team which you can, on top of that, chase down anyone who managed to get outside the radius to kill them too while also buffing her health to the point she is almost unkillable. It is frankly absurd and is not very fun to play against. It's so absurdly strong I have had entire matches dictated entirely by which team's Storm was going to use their ult first to instakill the healers by teleporting on top of them and then getting a couple of other characters as well rather than any other deciding factor.

Like let me paint this a bit so others can understand why it's so busted: Iron Man's Ult can be an instakill yes but he's stationary and can be killed before he does it, or better yet you can just move out of the way. Luna Snow's Ult is a moving AOE that makes her borderline unkillable but it's done to buff teammates rather than kill enemies. Jeff's Ult allows him to teleport and eat people in an AOE but it doesn't instakill them and you can still kill Jeff to save them plus they're only held for a limited time. Moon Knight's Ult is a powerful AOE for damage, it's stationary though so you can not go in it. Punisher's Ult can be strong and shred even the tankiest heroes in a second and can move, but can still be killed easily. Thor's ult can do a lot of damage in an AOE and can move a bit to do it, but it has several seconds before impact and is highlighted with a big red circle and is only for close distances. The fact that they gave her all the strengths of previously mentioned ults and no weaknesses is the problem. It's absurd.

no

isnt the tradoff that she is pretty fragile without her ult and bad at dealing with presure?
i think her ult is fine tho it is alittle hard to too see comming the tornado should maybe do alittle windup before it starts

Her transition into ult can be stunned, even if the window is very small. Spiderman and Penny webs. Hulk beams. Luna or Mantis stuns. Its actually very easy to do if she is within range.

Shields can mitigate the damage but expect most Vanguards to not come out of it unscathed. Not even Magneto.

As for when the ult is popping off, most of the strategist ults can heal more than she can do damage with it. So its pretty much useless against a backline if they have their ults ready. However, I've seen Storm players bait out Mantis and Luna ults. For maximum damage, get your team's Loki to copy the Storm and let him pop after they waste their healing ult to save themselves.

Its damage output is slightly lower than Sue m1 healing (2 x 40 twice a second, 160, while Storm ult is 2x75 a second, 150). Sue isn't even the strongest healer.
Its about 97 if she has her attack E on. Which is STILL not an instakill v literally anyone in the entire cast.
Its very far from an instakill, to claim it is one is just plainly lying. She's taking 1.5 - 2 seconds to kill even the average hp character.
IRON MAN is an instakill v most of the cast at range with very little warning
Scarlet is an instakill but just like shoot her because hers is basically melee, gives no extra hp and takes 15 years to happen
The issue with storms' ult is that it sets her hp to 700 which makes her too hard to kill and if she uses the speed E the majority of the cast, even with escapes on cooldown, can't escape her. There's no counter play. You try to shoot her because she should be squishy, but her hp is comparable to the average vanguard. You try to run away because she's a giant damage AoE but she's moving nearly 50% faster AND you're moving nearly 20% slower. She's effectively more than 50% faster than you if you're in range.

Literally any healer can counter her ult with theirs and if you're not, as the kids say skill issue.

[Arc]

Yes I pressed Q
Such skill

As someone who had her to Lord before the buff

Complaining about the damage her Ult can do makes no sense because that hasn't changed. The only thing that changed about it is her survival after it ends.

And it has a red circle on the ground just like Jeff's does, so just like his all you gotta do is be ready once you hear the initiation and then move as soon as you see the circle; and unlike Jeff's, you can be hit once or twice by hers with even the squishest of characters and still escape it.

Also if the team all goes in different directions she can only kill 1 or 2 people at most.

[SoloQ]

Can't Jeff heal for like 150 HP per second? And how much damage does Storm's ult do per second? 150?
So as long as you're putting effort into trying to get out of the ult and survive ONE HEALER can keep your entire team alive with his M1 through her entire Ult.
And Jeff isn't the only healer who can keep people alive through Storms ult without using an ult of their own.

Work on your situational awareness. If you know she's going to dive your healers have them scatter and go different directions, now she can't kill them both. It's really that simple to neuter her Ult.

As rocket, I can usually get far enough away that her ult won't catch me in time. All the characters screaming when they're using them gives me usually enough time to back off.

[Rayman.]

if u going nerf storm ult, nerf triple support meta first. Starting with Luna, Mantis, Cloak and Invisible woman. Atleast they're not like kiriko

[Shuyin178]

They didn't buff the damage of Storm's ult, just the after shield.
It has always been this strong, people are just figuring it out.
If the enemy team has a Storm, one of your supports need to save their ult to counter-ult hers, it's as easy as that.

[Terotrous]

She is by far the #1 character in the game in Season 1 (not subjective, stats show her with by far the highest win rate and ban rate) so a nerf is basically guaranteed, and her ult is probably the most obviously problematic aspect of the character. It likely needs to move a little slower and revert the bonus health to its original value.

Cloak, IW, luna, mantis, loki etc can all out heal storm ult. As dagger my bubble alone makes it take 4? Maybe only 3 ticks to death rather than 2. If i had a second healer outside the sform radius im sure as dagger i could face tank it.
That said all of the ults can face tank it. So maybe just maybe stand on daggers carpet.

You're basically just making it useless then. Any team that knows what they're doing are listening for it and when you use it they disperse so you can kill at most one, and then you're lucky if you get to them because they start running the instant you cast it.

It's strong when nobody knows what they're doing, sure.

No ult that guaranteed kills any character with no mobility move when a Support Ult doesn't come out is ever going to be useless. It would still basically be a better Psylocke Ult (since it strikes everyone in the area at once).
