What's going on with Moon Knight Ult?

[Captain Blue]

Played against multiple Moon Knights today where you get no time to react against the Ult... Either you don't hear the announcement and die to the ult. Or you die to the ult then you hear the Announcement.. Every time it's Moon Knight with the ranked skin. Is there a bug with this skin. I don't see anything about this in patch notes...

Or was this guy cheating somehow to make the announcement not happen or happen late?

[JG2thend]

it's always been that way "The moon"- everyone already dead before he finishes his line.

But "this game is not WOKE" and "theres waifus" so your commen is an obvious skill issue.

I've never been hit by it so consistently since the new update.. One game this Moon Knight must have got off like 5 ults like back to back. Don't how he's generating ult so fast.. Is the radius of it bigger? Just don't understand how it's such a problem all of a sudden.

the radius has increased an the number of hits it does

Well I think it's busted now with basically zero counter play. Even if you kill him as he casts it, it still casts. Where most heroes abilities go away the moment they die like Cloak and Dagger ult. I can ult to try and keep my team healed while the ult goes off but I get insta killed and my ult dies with me even if I got multiple stacks off.

Not sure about the announcement, but it's been such that it continues even if killed. I think honestly it's sort of fair, since the damage is over a few seconds, and when he's jumped he has no escapes.

It was always that way. I got plenty of kills after I was dead with it. I've used it to take out overly aggressive Hulks and Venoms countless times.

Also the new radius doesn't quite match the animation. I got killed just outside the edge of it earlier. So be sure to give it a wide berth for it's duration.

The first barage basically kills a support every time. Then he can just put down an ankh and literally kill the back line in fraction of second before you can even react to destory the ankh.

The dude went from not being a problem to being a big problem. I seem to get a MoonKight every game and I spend all game dying as support to stuff I can't do anything about.

I've dodged them in time before. It's about as difficult as a good ironman ultimate...

As someone who played Sue Storm against several of them today; skill issue dude. Stay out of the circles.
Adam Warlock is the only support that should be easy prey for him.

The new patch did two things for his ultimate. It increased the number of talons/hands that fall during its duration and increased the explosion radius on each talon. The actual circle itself hasn't changed, it's just that there are more talons and they have more reach. This *effectively* means the outside of the circle is also dangerous. Think of it the same way you would a rain of explosives. Just because you aren't getting hit by the bomb doesn't mean it won't hit you with the explosion.

While it definitely feels bad to get dropped by it, there are still a lot of much more dangerous DPS ults to watch out for. It could maybe do with a warning icon similar to storm or iron man, but the actual damage itself is in a pretty good spot right now.

But if you're in the circle you pretty much die.. There is no warning.. I got to plat 2 last season playing support and I never had an issue with Moon Knight until now..

Moon Knight got a buff to his ult. Also has more hands attacking during it.
Increase the number of talons generated by Hand of Khonshu (ultimate ability) from 10 to 14.
Increase the explosion radius of each talon from 4 meters to 5 meters.

Also feels like ricochets fills up faster.
Just went 54/0 Got my Ult 7 times

So far today I've had no problem escaping them except for that 1 when I found out it's slightly bigger than the animation

maybe people are getting better at playing the game your win rate is getting higher so you are getting placed with better players.
