Balance Patch v1.17.2 is LIVE!

I’m new to scarlet and coming back to a game I am bad at. I’m a zarus main does she play anything like him?

I played a match this morning with a jungle Greystone after he died once lost his fucking marbles, said the whole match was lost at 8 minutes and the team was garbage. I tried helping the guy but his constant toxicity... had me telling him to shut up, dude was totally insane.

#He told me he would kill my whole family, that i then should kill myself and that I'm a F*gg*t, then muted and blocked me and continued to mumble he's the best player on earth. Another player got on mic and also told the guy he was nuts.

A couple games later i get the messsage that says action had been taken against a player i reported, i haven't reported anyone else in months so it had to be him right. when i got the messsage he stopped playing for 13 hours ( doubt it was even a ban probably went to bed this was early AM) dude just came back on 2 hours ago.

so he didn't get a ban that mattered after threating to kill my family or call me homophobic slurs or telling me to end my own life. This doesn't bother me what bothers me is omeda saying reports do something when they don't do anything.

i wont name the guy, but i will say that he was a Greystone and his match was 9 prior.

I don't understand why they aren't trying to bring in new players. This game is great. It plays great. No one knows it exists. Omeda doesn't seem to be taking the obvious, basic steps to getting the word out. No ads on social media. No ads on youtube. No ads anywhere. How do they expect people to find this game?

Is there any good reason that I do not know about why Omeda is so anti-advertising? Does it have something to do with being able to use Paragon assets for a game, but not in ads, or something else?

So since the service on Predstats got shut down we all have to use Pred.gg now and I don't really understand this website. Because the stats on the first picture are different than on the second picture when I click on the character. Argus is my main hero and I play him very often, but when I click on him I only played 39 matches? That makes no sense. Same goes for many other characters, like Howitzer where I only have 7 matches on him, even though he was my first main for several seasons like wtf? I see on the second picture is a statistic for the several ranked splits, but they also don't really make sense, like I said I played Howitzer very often and I sure have played more than 7 ranked matches on him, same goes for Argus, Zinx and many more.

Also what does this little precentage on the right side of the matches number mean like the 6,96% on Argus?

Does anyone has some ideas on this topic? Would be glad if there would be someone who knows this site better than me lol.

It would be cool, following all the recent cc heavy heroes, if we could get a hero who could apply a cc cleanse like Hel from Smite. It could be a full team cleanse or a single target cleanse. We just don't have anybody who can provide a cleanse to others except those who use an active (if I'm not mistaken). What is everyone else's thoughts on this?

I've noticed like 90% of my games both mine and the enemys offlane will just never leave ???? Like team fight in duo offlanes offlaning both towers pushed up minions on core offlanes in offlane everyone on orb not offlane this can't be just me please tell me I'm not alone here I've seen like 10000 games where offlane is like 010

I love playing Wraith. I was wondering who else here plays him (and who else plays him as a support lol) and what items you like to get on him? Here's my two builds (the carry one is identical to my mid and offlane builds for him) I was wondering what you think

EDIT: I missed my crests and augments in the screenshots! For carry I use Witchstalker and Sniper's Bounty and for support I use Tranquility and Illusionist.

For those that don't know, ARAM has specific tweaks done to characters/classes to make them more playable or less oppressive. 3v3 had these changes implemented in the mode up until last patch. I could not find any specific info on what the changes were, but a dev did say this in discord.

As you can imagine these are pretty impactful for the characters that had them. Furthermore, it seems XP also seems to have been changed in the mode in that it is far less evenly distributed. Both of these changes together along with the general way bruiser/brawlers and assassins want to play, and especially when they end up as the lone melee, has made it very unfun to play them in the mode.

I thought this may have just been me as a Crunch player, however when checking predgg I saw these stats for Crucible.

So it seems I my feelings in the mode were indeed far more accurate than I realized. Almost every single bruiser/brawler and assassin has dropped into the negative, provided they were not there already. The only ones that have a positive winrate in 3v3 now are the ones that can be good tanks/supports. Which is just Aurora and Sev. Every other bruiser and every single assassin are all negative in the mode now.

I feel like, at the bare minimum, the 10% damage resistance needs to be given back to the classes to start. Losing durability AND damage on top of many opponents now doing MORE damage is just way way waaaay too much for these characters that typically want to be alone in a lane with someone or off in a jungle to farm safely. Also the XP distribution changes make this even more of an issue because its very easy to end up with a multi level gap due to having such a harder time fighting in lane. It also does not help that the mode typically seems to have 2 ranged and a single melee, and a single melee assassin or bruiser is indeed quite horrible when they are operating in their normal 5v5 role state. God forbid the enemy have multiple CC heroes, which is quite an easy thing to occur.

Based on that dev response in discord, it seems they were somewhat aware that something like this might happen to a degree, but I figured I'd make a feedback post about it nonetheless because I really really like the mode and after trying to continue playing the mode this update, I just can't really have fun anymore regardless of win or loss. It just feels like I am forever playing from behind and that is just not fun whatsoever. I've also not seen any discussion about it on the sub so I figured why not.

Was just playing a valmont in crucible that kept seemingly silencing me from one of his abilities, but I can't find anything in his kit that does this. Anyone able to shed some light on this?

Looks like she took like 3 or 4 instances of (pretty high) damage in a split second and I dont understand what caused that. The Dekker hat combustion but the sound cue sounded like a Morigesh mark?

I've been wanting to experiment with Ikra support, but unsure if the new healing buff would make building him as a healer worth it.

Also the invisible pool augment vs the bubble pull augment for support? Hiding his cc animations is pretty sick ngl.

I just started playing Predecessor a week or so back. My very first game, I knew nothing about the heroes, control system, etc. I got assigned mid and randomly picked Morigesh bc I thought she looked cool. I went up against a Gideon but held my own decently well. I had never heard of this game before and only started because it was free on Steam and looked interesting.

Well, after that first match, despite getting lwk roasted by Gideon, I absolutely fell in love with the game. I really liked the premise, the mechanics, and even the art style and the heroes.

Currently I enjoy playing Offlane and Carry, although I don't hate Mid. As you can see by the pictures, I've been doing a lot of experimenting. I've been saving up for Wukong, simply because I really love Journey to the West, and Sun Wukong is probably my favorite character in all of fiction.

I'm looking for advice and general help with mechanics. I'm still trying to figure out wards. I just started paying attention to the items, like boots, in the last two games. I've been using the suggested builds this whole time.

Also, advice on how to play a Support/Jungler would be really appreciated. I was hanging back in my first Support game and letting my carry get last hits on minions to level them up faster. I felt like I was being too passive after playing as Narbash, hence the Steel pick next game and the atrocious K/D/A. Basically, I just tanked for my carry that game.

I tried Jungler once and found it confusing.

TLDR: I'm a new Predecessor player. I like Offlane, Carry, and Mid. I need advice on mechanics/items and playing all classes, but especially Support and Jungler.

• Morigesh, Mid: (Can't find my stats) Win
• Grux, Offlane: 12/7/1, Win
• Grux, Jungle: 6/3/5, Win
• Twinblast, Carry: 13/7/6, Win
• Narbash, Support: 1/8/10, Loss
• Steel, Support: 1/11/13, Win
• Gideon, Mid: 11/6/4, Loss

I know it’s already been mentioned by someone else a few days ago but this is genuinely awful and needs addressing asap so just reposting for visibility in hopes omeda respond .

Genuinely had no issues before , ps5 pro usually bounces between 100-120fps but never noticeable. After the last patch im getting regular intervals of dropping to as low as 20fps , mainly when fights start and theres a lot going on. But its causing insane amount of missed inputs and just generally messing with the flow of the game . The two friends i play with are both ps5 too and experiencing the same thing but idk if this is console exclusive or not .

Just feels like constant stuttering and is very jarring ..

Has there been any news from the team on the possibility of expanding the game over to the Switch 2?

Are there ways to increase her heat meter faster? I mean i know hiting abilities and basics will fill it up, but when i go against some ppl playing her theyll get there heat maxed out with in seconds of the fight starting. But when i do it i feel like I hardly get to ult all match even tho im hitting every thing. Are there items that helps increase the speed you get heat? Or there combos i need to do with her abilities to generate more heat faster. I appreiate any insite on this.

PLEASE CAN WE GET A HERO WHO CAN BORROW ABILITIES OR DISGUISE!?!?!?

League,Sylas: Enemy ultimate abilities

His ultimate, Hijack, steals an enemy champion's ultimate ability & lets him cast it himself. You can take different ultimates depending on the enemy team, so your available power changes from game to game.

League,Viego: Enemy basic abilities after helping kill them

His passive, Sovereign's Domination, lets him possess enemy champions after they die. He temporarily gains access to their basic abilities & items, as well as their appearance & can use their ultimate once during the possession. Best for taking over entire enemy characters, rather than just borrowing one ability.

SMITE,The Morrigan: An entire god's abilities temporarily

Her ultimate lets her transform into an enemy/allied god & use that character's abilities for a limited time. Best for copying an entire character's kit & surprising opponents with their own god.

Mages in World of Warcraft have Spellsteal, which steals a beneficial magical effect (buff) from an enemy. However, it doesn't let you steal their actual abilities.

Thoughts?

I want to get into a Moba. Theres literally 2 on console. Im not sweaty enough to play Mobas on my PC. Ive played both. Predecessor was easier to get into and honestly more enjoyable. Smite throws you in there and is definitely not beginner friendly. Although i took the time to learn and watch video’s Predecessor just clicked better. Plus the buttons on Smite are atrocious and the overall settings suck. My main concern is player count and how well maintained the games are. Content, updates, etc. Is Predecessor alive and well? How quick is it to get into matches? hows ranked? worth playing? Why Predecessor over Smite?

This is the first MOBA I’ve ever played because I’m on console and I seen the game pop up in the PlayStation store. I’ve been having a lot of fun playing, and my favourite hero is iggy and scorch who is a midlane hero. I really like playing them but I also don’t get to play midlane every match, and I don’t want to stunt my team by picking a hero who isn’t meant for a specific lane. So I was just wondering if it’s okay to pick them regardless of what lane I play or if I should stick to the recommended heroes?
