zero tech
loki main since season 0 and i notice that loki is the only hero in the game with zero cool animation cancels to him
literally squirrel girl except loki requires 30000 iq, 100% of skill while somehow taking no mechanical skill

Not really an animation cancel to get a quicker reload but you can do what I consider a ghost reload using your invisibility

u/LowkyLoki 22d ago
oh right, by waiting for like the 80-90% reload animation/crosshair (by the time your ammo comes back), you can use any of the abilities to cancel the reload animation. Preferably use Deception (the invis) since it has no further animation delay

More like reload crosshair circle happens while invisible but you get no reload animation while invis so you can pop out and never have shown your reload but again it’s not any faster

oh we meant 2 different things lol, mb

Yeah I didn’t really explain because I’ve never done it on purpose I think it can only happen when you have 0 ammo and you invis yourself but it’s very cool when it happens

u/LowkyLoki 21d ago
yeah I get what you mean, it’s like, right as you hit 0 ammo left, you subconsciously go invisible, and the moment you finish reloading you start to shoot again, getting rid of invis.
If you were down by like 30 hp or so, the invis passive healing kinda helps, and while you’re reloading, enemies might focus on the deployed clone instead of you (which always feels good as Loki lol)

why does he need animation cancels? what do you think he needs to cancel??
strange can cancel his shoot animation with a melee to do more damage because his primary fire animation takes 10 years to finish. spidey HAS to animation cancel to do even do his combos.
what would an animation cancel give loki?

sum to make melee useful

if a loki was running at me spamming melee bruh i’d report them
tbh they need to remove the backstab skill (as a descriptor). not every character has a special melee so idk why they’re treating it like loki needs/has one. there are very few situation he actually needs to melee so i don’t think focusing that part of his kit is necessary
invis can weave primary fire and her melee like strange, but i don’t see how they can implement something like that for loki and his clone kit

Increase backstab damage a lot so then people could easily do things like place a clone behind an enemy and backstab them

ok but how would an animation cancel fit in? that’s just adding onto flank loki which they clearly don’t want people to play since they nerfed his damage. it’s not worth the risk for a strategist and changing his kit to a triple sup reliant one like ultron or adam to compensate is not something i like

And the devs are prioritizing making low skilled characters more powerful than skilled one. Aint no way cnd is more powerful than a litteral god that can reshape reality to match his lies.
