Storm Is SO Under Powered

[Azure365]

i LOVE Storm's kit, i've tried to play her in vs AI matches to try and get the hang of her but either i'm trash or her abilities are just underpowered. if i AM trash i'd like tips to get better with her but i can't help but feel like if they just buffed her damage output overall then she'd be perfect.

It is easy to overestimate her abilities. Storm does not play like Iron Man. She is more like a support dps than a damage dealer.
- Avoid soloing and engage only at medium range.
- Her AoE buff is limited in range. Stay with your team so they can benefit from your speed/damage buff, which can turn the tide if your team has high burst damage characters. She also has to stay close to the ground because most won't be flying around like Venom and Spiderman.
- If memory serves, enemies inside her AoE while you have damage buff up can take lightning damage at intervals when its charged up with E.
- Only use her if the team wants to blob together. She brings best value when she is following at least 2 or 3 other team members.

She's black, she's beautiful, she's DPS
What do you have to complain about

Imo shes better as a 3rd dps, and better when your teams fights in a ball.

In general I think she requires the most situational awareness and decision making skill of the roster due to her really poor mobility and long cooldowns. You should be where you need to be 3 seconds before you actually need to be there , if that makes sense

Also stop flying in the air, its useless unless you're trying to keep a Black Panther/Thor/Venom etc out of your face. Being closer to the ground lets you use natural cover faster, lets you reposition for wrath of the goddess faster, increases your area of influence, makes it easier to hit your projectiles ( I believe they have a large horizontal hitbox) , makes it easier for healers to see and heal you (it's a bit awkward to turn around and up to heal while trying to keep the tank alive on point) , and it makes your right click easier to hit multiple enemies as its piercing.

Also, dont ult until enemy Luna/Mantis ults unless you know they don't have ult.

You know what's funny she's getting a nerf due to too much damage. She can do 100 damage per hit and has penetrate.

She can wipe all the dps and healers in a few hits if they're lined up.

they will boot her up for a black history month

She isn't weak but her game design is terrible.
She has perma flight, but you should always stay on the ground.
She has 2 modes, but only one mode is useful.
Literally taking flight away from thunder would actually be an improvement to her gameplay and overall design because thunder wants her to be a ground level mobber.

She really needs to be redesigned to have wind mode actually be different than thunder similar to the level of difference between Cloak & Dagger. The current design offers 0 reason to actually use wind with only one ability changing to an objective downgrade while sacrificing a useful passive.

I want Storm to be a great hero to play - because if nothing else - she has a figure of a goddess!

[jadenedaj]

I see her ranked pretty low, but Ive done a lot of 30-3 type games with her, she seems pretty OP in quickplay anyway

Storm plays close to the ground for the most part, using cover to peek out and poke a bit. Stay near the team to give them the damage buff. Don't use your ult until after the supports use theirs.

Storm is awful

Surprisingly, Storm is used in higher ranked lobbies (GM+) because of her 3rd DPS fill. She's able to build up her ult relatively fast due to assist damage/kills and her ultimate is absolutely insane. Then again, she's very very situational.

Yeah... and is 11xReported

My problem was that firing her primary takes 2 calendar months to arrive, so you literally have to predict where the enemy will be 10 minutes from now.

Basically like most characters in-game they really depend on team-mates playing to her strengths to bring out the massive potential.
