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.

She is literally just a 1:1 downgrade from Iron Man. She is slower, dealing less damage, worse projectiles, no splash damage, no close range option etc... Her speed boost should be actually faster, and her damage boost should be actually strong. She should be the dps version of Lucio from Overwatch. She have potential but she just doing nothing.

Lord Storm main here. TLDR - Critical Info.

Storm does not need a single modification. She is perfect.

The only changing that needs to be had are the players’ dumb dead brain opinion about the character’s abilities. Although storm is a 3 star(?) difficulty character, she is actually a 5 star difficulty due to the nature of her basic attack, animation wind ups, and fluctuating movement speed. Her poor performance is almost always because of the “Storm Curse”.

The Storm Curse is when teammates give up at the sight of storm chosen on their team. They deliberately throw.

The storm curse - defined by real experience

1. choosing not to heal you to watch you tally the most deaths to humiliate storm further

2. Healers begin to act as primary dps, failing to heal the entire team to rig blame on storm for team’s overall performance

3. Breaking Team composition by over saturating the team with dps, absent of tanks or healers

4. Over saturating team with healers, 3 or even 4 healers and blame storm that “this storm thing isn’t working” - referenced from actual experience and direct quote from some player.

5. Choosing not to participate in the match all together. They chat more than they play, idle in a hiding spot or spawn.

6. Avoid storm’s aura. This isnt exactly part of the curse, but still a lack of understanding her dynamic. Players will run out to the fight in all directions as usual not realizing they are canceling storm’s effectiveness. If no one is in storm’s range, storm is absolutely pointless. Either the storm player needs to find the best spot, or team mates need to stop dragging you to your death.

++++++++¥
I’m not obligated to share the benefits storm provides but I am sharing it because i’m overly sick of the hate and voice chat arguments and down talk.

Storm provides:

1. Enables Black widow to headshot kill in 1 bullet

2. Enables wolverine to kill on pounce

3. Enables magik to kill in 3 strikes instead of 4 (not yet tested)

4. Enables hulk to become an even greater threat

5. Doubles Dr. Strange’s kill count

6. Enables scarlet witch to melt people even quicker

7. Gives hela even more insane damage

8. Turns iron man into a God.

9. enables Thor to destroy

10. She makes everyone kill faster, and do things they normally couldnt.

*********
Storm can solo (and have done so) hela, hawkeye, starlord, iron man, all the other dps except for spider-man, all healers except for mantis.

Storm can grab MVP with top kills exceeding 35 (49 is my highest) and top damage exceeding 20,000 (32k is my highest).

++++ i cant stress this enough. To play storm, it takes physical skill and intelligence. You need to consistently make sure your aura is reaching to a majority, if not all, your allies. Her damage is reduced because her actual damage is spread among how many teammates she boosts. Storm is best played 3 steps back from the 2 tanks. This is the best spot for healing to pass through storm and onto tanks.

Storm is not an attacker, she is offensive support. She NEVER CHASES! A bad storm has low assists. A good storm has high assists and low kills. The best storm has both equal kills and assists. A Lord Storm has High kills, high assists and top damage.

Bro no offense but your best is my average on Iron Man. I casually get 50 bombs left and right with 40k damage. Literally even the pro players agree that she is one of the worst DPS characters in the game. You can call us braindead all you want, but the reality is that if I see a Storm in the enemy team I am always relieved because that's just a win. She is just a free frag. Her ult is the only thing that is decent in her kit in this current state.

Brother, you are describing a low tier. A character who requires extra mechanical skill and focus to perform at the level of another character is what you call a low tier.

Nobody doubts that you can pop off on Storm. People have popped off on garbage characters in fighting games, MOBAs and hero shooters since the dawn of games. It doesn't change the fact that everyone believes Storm is undertuned.

[Shiro]

Storm more like support ! She need to be low and give her aura to team mates

[Desert Leaf]

it is clear people are comparing their outcomes not realizing what storm does passively.

thats cause nobody uses her right. Check the video i just posted in this thread.

[Vinnolo]

she should be a strategist, not a dps, she is a teamwide buffer, you want to be with your team to buff their damage, not be alone flying around doing next to no damage

[Nokturnal]

1: Don't be trying to secure kills and flying off on your own, stay with your team behind the frontline, your job is to support the DPS and help them get kills, when you see someone low, lightning blast em to finish them off. Your basic attacks have slow projectile speed, but they pen. (Can hit multiple enemies in a line)
2: Swap between Movement Speed and Attack Damage buff as necessary.
3: Don't use your Ult to try to solo the enemy team but instead to help your team secure kills.

She's getting buffed in Season 1 btw, so you'll probably be seeing more of her then. Widow on the other hand is just god awful without an aimbot and even then not great lol.

[SoloQ]

Storm is just a worse Iron Man. There's not even a debate. If you want a damage buff bring Mantis, she's better than storm as well. No damage falloff, extra heals, CC, and a self sustaining character you won't have to waste time healing.

I love Storm, but she's weak.
And no one wants to watch 30 minutes of someone never being targeted by the enemy.

If you are comparing her to iron man, you got the design of storm completely wrong.

Iron man cannot buff the team.

You don't understand one thing. We understand completely what the hero supposed to do and what is her role. The problem is not that she is an offensive support. The problem is that she is even horrible at that. There is way too many risks, for little to no reward. No matter how you play her, you need to have insane amount of mechanical skill and game knowledge and still get rolled by a half braincelled autistic chimp who plays Hela. She is so bad it's not worth to put the effort in it.

[BIG E.]

Her left click is weakest in the entire game with the super high 25 damage after 30 meters. For comparison hela does 70 damage bodyshots, its basicly hitscan and only falls off to 70%. And Storm can't headshot, lmao. Hardest to land projectile in the game, cannot headshot and deals 25 damage. Its legit tickle strike.

They should just turn her into a support or buff her left click damage significantly.

Btw 30 meters is nothing in this game in terms of range.

Also she is super slow even in her wind form. Her cooldowns are super high and her damage becomes only relevant when enemies get in her circle and get zapped. Even then she does least damage within all duelists.

Her only redeeming quality is her ult but that also gets countered by Luna and Mantis sooooooooo.
