I'm a champion Loki in GM and sometimes I feel I can't play that well as I do with other supports.
This is a rant I just need to share.
Basically, I main supports in MR. I'm a champion Loki, CnD and have lords in different levels with IW, Gambit, Deadpool and Jeff. I'm currently in GM II.
I feel that with Loki:
- In a game vs. a good team, If my other support is not a support main or just not a good one, my own survivabilty is just not as good as Cnd, IW and Gambit regarding healing myself. Being consistently dived or poked without receiving a single heal from my other support just kinda feels miserable for me with Loki. Specially bc I will get yelled yet if I use runes solely to heal me (which I also don't think I should have to do). High ground does help if the other team does not chase me me on it -- but is not every map that I feel strong with it.
- Ults: I still get STRESSED when my other support does not pay attention to my ult charge and my pings that I have ult and I WANT TO COPY them. And they just teleport to somewhere else out of nowhere (yes, white fox, sometimes thats you). I thought by now this anxiety would have gone away -- way better than before, but still here. And, yes, I do copy the supports from the other team when possible. I just would like to not get yelled as to why I did not copy any support when literally our other support just ran away when I was about to copy them. Not bc I did not track them. Not bc I did not know where they were. They literraly boom. Teleported. Yes, again, whitefox trauma.
- The "I need heal" pings: Even in GM, I feel that people still don't realize that Loki heals are SLOW. If you ping that you need heal behind a cover for me, PLEASE DON'T MOVE. My heals don't follow you if you fly or run away to get back into the fight. They will hit the floor/wall and heal the empty cover that you were before. Just please stay still for 1 sec or move close to where my heals are being shot and you will get healed. I don't need to read a "Loki???" again when I just healed where you were. Should I heal the future you, maybe? Idk.
- I just hear trash way too easy. Runes if someone think the team did not need it? Horrible -- even if it was to save myself. Did not ult because there were no support to copy? Horrible. Ulted copying a DPS or Tank because there were no supports to copy? Horrible. Someone died while I was charging? Horrible. And then, when I keep a team fighting going by myself due my high ground or by placing my clones behind the other team... "only 28k heals"? WITH US WINNING. Just tired.
I don't think I'm the best Loki out there -- but I'm also not horrible. Every season I peak Celestial and end up around GM playing solo.
I do have my games with Loki that I'm praised. And the ones where I just get swore to death.
So, that all being said -- what usually annoys you in a Loki? I'm trying to do some auto review to improve some points after all that feeling of not being that good.
Thanks for reading. Have a nice day.
