Hi guys,

Definitely room for improvement… Enjoy

I liked it. Thanks for sharing.

Is it just me or did you not do any dmg while people around you decided your fights for you? Most grenades were missing, and the few that hit were not even slightly stacking up the condi-pressure you’d need…

I mean, no offense, it looks like a nice supporter build for the backline in zergs, but I guess you’d get eaten up in solo-roaming…

The one occasion where you were fighting 2 enemies on your own, welp they’d never got down without them being stupid enough to stay at your dropped supply-crate. Basically all you depend on is to keep your enemy ranged to you, but without having at least one other player distracting them, this builds seems not being able to work with you.

My recommendation would be to take bombkit / toolkit or – better – both with you to have the survivability and pbaoe pressure you need in order to make this build viable.

[Edit] Just checked the clip again, and actually you seem to have the toolkit with you. Sadly you make rarely use of it, which would explain why you have that much problems with people closing in to you. You seem to have a solid base build-wise, but you should really improve on situational awareness and your own cooldowns.

Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated. I know there’s still heaps of room for improvement so still trying.

I found that with the bomb kit, I had a lot of problem with people ranging me as it relied a bit on having terrain, i.e. being able to LoS, knock people off edges, making them chase you etc. Grenade kit felt a bit more versatile? Although the bomb kit does provide more utility, I felt the grenade kit to be a better “all-rounder”.

This build works fine for me 1 v 1, 1 v 2 – but anymore and I usually do get eaten up quite quickly unless I have terrain on my side. But as I said, I still have lots of room for improvement

When you say more use of the tool kit, can you elaborate a bit more? Am I using the block at the wrong time? Should I be using the pull more effectively?
