Human Torch + Storm Synergy

[Elon Musk]

While the Synergy is really powerful (and cool looking)

It comes with a huge issue, which is random players.

In a premade team, this synergy is strong, in random games, this synergy really sucks because u have to wait for some human torch who either always dies, never uses his ultimate or use it in bad ways. (sometimes and in a few weeks I hope they learn how to activate the ultimate)

Storm should be able to just make the fire tornado herself and strengthen Human Torches fire tornadoes when they happen to be around. But please don't let the synergy be dependent on some random people. It's a nice idea yes, but sadly it doesn't really work out in these days.

People will learn in time.

Just like on release day nobody probably understood to stand inside Luna's ultimate or when IW released people didn't think to stick to her shield for constant healing.

After a while people will get accustomed to new skills and synergies & will begin to plan accordingly.
In ranked games comms will take care of that, or an unwritten rule will slowly take place. In quickplay.. well, it's always a hot mess anyway

Say what?

Storm has over 54% win rate in celestial+ and from what I heard somewhere you can extend the ult duration by using Storm first and Johnny later before Storm expires. Haven't tested Torch myself yet, still busy clobbering stuff.

Whatever the case, the combo is so new nobody can say yet if it's good or bad.

Is this the only pair that has an Ultimate Synergy right now? Do we know if they are planning on adding any to existing characters to catch them up? Or is this because the devs are tired of people trashing on Storm?

Black Widow and Hawkeye have one in that Widow can shoot the afterimages that Hawkeye creates with his ult. But Widow is trash and Hawkeye isn't a great deal better, so...no one noticed.
