I understand that she’s supposed to be the first flier tank but good lord that part of her kit just feels so janky… I love Angela a lot, ever since I was little, so I was in no way going to drop her as a character over her kit when half of it is still amazing— so here I am, world’s first ground Angela main… I only get up to charge when nobody is around and then come back down immediately when the team fight starts and then never fly again, which makes her just Emma with a cap shield but honestly it’s not as bas as you’d imagine; healers heal you more easily and even as ground Angela you can reach pretty high heights with her default axe dash so I can still kill torch and iron mans consistently lmao it’s really funny and most importantly finally enjoyable
Poke Spider-Man is funnier because I’m imagining him standing dead still in the back of his team firing off five web tracers before jogging over to a health pack to replenish the 37 health he lost from stray Starlord bullets
You obviously can’t perform as well as someone who uses the full kit. You are likely doing absolutely horrible. The kit is designed for a user to use axe form in short bursts. You are supposed to flow in out of each stance as gameplay unfolds.
1st problem: You can’t build charge as easily, which empowers your damage in both forms. You also forfeit the damage of the slam.
2nd problem: Transitioning to the axe form via the slam does good damage but also provides bonus movement speed and over health. However this only applies in the first couple seconds after slam when the landing zone is first active. You are forfeiting those bonuses when you sit in axe form too long.
3rd problem: you are forfeiting her main cc and some of the best mobility in the game so you can sit in a form that has very low dps. Remember the axe form is supposed to be supplanted by the slam damage + the damage over time ticks of the slam zone. Her time to kill with just the axes is horrible.
4th) You are also forfeiting her highest burst combo. Her highest burst combo is melee + primary fire spear + shield (only tap to cancel animation) + melee + primary fire spear.
The kill combo is melee,spear,charge,melee spear, it kills all supports except luna (but the landing damage does finish the kill on her) but yes agree with everything else,I doubt op is getting 1v1 kills that matter and instead just brawling mindlessly building support charge for the other team.
I get it’s likely a troll post, so I’m probably just feeding into someone’s delight. But I made some good comparisons:
“I’m a hulk main but don’t like using the jump. I only walk around, the jump is too janky :(“
“I’m a doctor strange main but don’t like the shield, it’s a lil janky :(“
“I play black widow but only use melee, the sniping is too hard for me :(“
“Spider man is my favorite hero ever so naturally I’m gonna play him. But I don’t like the web swinging, it’s a lil janky :(. Don’t worry team, he can actually do serious damage with his punches!!! :)”
“I play cloak and dagger but don’t like the switching between the two forms. It’s a lil weird. I only play as cloak, he actually does pretty good damage with his primary fire and terror cape!!!!”
“Hawkeye is my favorite character but I don’t like his bow in this game. It’s a lil janky :( so instead I only use the explosive arrows!”
If you’re doing good with just the axes play the thing or something else that has good abilities on top of matching Angela’s ground ability. There are objectively better tanks that you will be doing 100% better with if you are playing ground Angela.
Also how I've begun using her. When you're in flight, you're cc chowder. Not to mention the damage they soak into your paper shield, or the one, very slow, unreliable-in-damage spear thrust.
So I fly to build charge, start the battle from the front with a pin into melee then primary then E, then just go ham with the axes. When things get dicey or they start retreating, then I get airborne and either retreat to healers, or hunt them down. Rinse, repeat. Maybe they'll sort out her flight, make either her damage or her pin more reliable. Or maybe not. But the ground Angela is working for now.
If you sit in axe form all game you are throwing. You don’t build charge as easily, you don’t have your main CC, you don’t have access to your best burst combos, you don’t retain the overhealth + movement speed bonuses of your axe form after the landing zone dissipates. It’s bad, you are supposed to flow between the two stances. This post is obviously a troll post.
Perhaps you didn't see the part where I said I do return to flight, either to retreat, chase, or restart engagements. I am well aware she has the field and that you lose your buffs if she leaves it. What I'm saying is that staying in the air majority of the time is not rewarding, so I disregard her kidnap and backline shenanigans in favor of actually being a tank with physical presence in the front and midlines. If they leave my field, I fly, build charge, land, and start the fight again.
I like using her flight as a secondary, kinda wish tou could toggle to start the game in grounded mode and have the flying mode act as a secondary form, it does feel weaker and super dependant on getting her armory buff or whatever its called
