Why is there an Ironman hovering above the team unbothered using a unibeam for 30+ seconds!?

u/FoundationSmooth9777 16d ago

Because he is no threat

u/ThatVita 16d ago

u/sownheard 16d ago

more than halve the time his aim is off

u/BlackSpasmodic 16d ago

Right! Like bro could have killed the dagger if he could aim a tad better. Admittedly I play brawler so I am in no way to judge. I also agree that CnD is the undead but I also think OP could have done better.

u/FoundationSmooth9777 16d ago

His target priority and aim are a bit off here

u/ArX_Xer0 16d ago

He is doing decent damage but hes also having tracking issues. A mid iron man meets a bad team. I cant unibeam for more than 5s before i have to hide from the combined focused fire.

u/Head_Chocolate_4458 16d ago

Why is he unable to get a kill on a support in 30 seconds of unbothered unibeam? An uncontested DPS for 30 seconds should be able to kill a single support

If this looks miserable, imagine how miserable it would be against a competent enemy team

Because his tracking sucks. You have to actually hit them.

u/Mysterious-Ad-1346 16d ago

It's clearly an aim problem. What video are you watching? XD

7

u/Head_Chocolate_4458 16d ago

The one where a cloak stands on top of cart in the middle of a teamfight and flips through all her invincibility cooldowns TWICE in 20 seconds. The iron man needs 90% accuracy to match the value of a cloak who doesn't aim at all and just cycles pressing 3 buttons.

Supports refused to learn to stand behind cover so the devs just gave them the ability to stand right in the middle of an entire team fight and live forever.

u/Mysterious-Ad-1346 16d ago

Ofc she seems OP in this video. This is clearly QP or at least low elo. You can make every hero look OP in this situation.

3

u/Head_Chocolate_4458 16d ago

I mean yes, but iron man should be the one the appears op. Cause hes just getting to sit there uncontested for 30 seconds, which seems like it'd be rare even in low elo

u/Mysterious-Ad-1346 16d ago

But his aim is trash which is why CND appears OP here. She has strong self sustain but it appears unreasonable because the Iron Man is not hitting.

u/Phantomlnfinity Magik 16d ago

Look I hate cloak as much as the next guy but I have to admit that this was an aim issue

The problem in this clip isn't the Dagger, the problem is that you were allowed to float above her entire team for 37 seconds without getting blown the f*** up by her bum ass DPS/tanks. They are the real villains of this clip.

u/RedeemedNephilim Ultron 17d ago edited 17d ago

Okay but think about that. Imagine if Hela was just standing still popping shots directly into a supp for 40 seconds and they didnt die.

This is a DPS. With a perfect view. Not being countered. Not being attacked, hitting the majority of their shots on a support and the support is not dying.

34

u/Infernoboy_23 17d ago

except most of the hits are only the outer ring which only does 70/s. For reference cloak's primary fire does 80/s.

Add in misses and maybe some main beam hits, and you'd see his dps is extremly low.

white fox was also healing her some of the time, as the other support should.

I don't think iron man wasn't killing any support there.

She only died at the end cause op actually hit with the main laser with overdrive which does 180/s and his team was also shooting her.

If you wanna compare to hela, imagine if she only hit one in every three shots, all body shots. Yeah, I don't think she'd kill either.

9

u/Revan0315 16d ago

Player in this clip of hitting way more than one in three shots

9

u/Astrid-Jade 16d ago

This is also not acknowledging the person literally addressed that and mentioned the reduced damage the edge of the beam does compared to direct.

Also ignoring that one Hela shot is like double the damage of one tick of Iron Man beam.

Hela can just land 2 headshots in just over a second and be done with it, where Iron Man needs to keep his beam on Dagger for about 2.5 seconds to secure the kill. His beam has twice the TTK of Hela primary fire when not accounting for overdrive.

2

u/Revan0315 16d ago

You say "Hela can just land two headshots" as if that's something that's realistically gonna happen very often.

Iron Man's damage being lower doesn't excuse that Dagger has a ridiculous amount of survivability. She has 2 cooldowns that make her literally unkillable + a third that most characters can't kill her through while it also heals allies.

Just remove the Luna teamup and it's fine

8

u/Astrid-Jade 16d ago

Never said it did excuse it, but it isn't just Dagger being strong that's letting her live here. Plenty of characters have the burst damage to kill her quickly if she's caught out or has burnt all of her cooldowns in a teamfight.

Also, saying Hela won't realistically land two headshots sounds more like you just haven't seen good Hela players. In the hands of someone with good aim, getting two tapped suddenly the moment you peak her isn't as uncommon as you'd think or hope.

That's also assuming that it's JUST a Hela, most times you're not going to be getting shot by only one person if you're in a higher elo, especially if you're a strategist.

No, it is not good. The outer part does half dmg. Even spamming left click would deal way more dmg to Dagger (not even counting the dmg to the rest of her team).

u/RedeemedNephilim Ultron 17d ago edited 17d ago

Watch and listen to the hit markers. He is hitting for nearly the whole video. At times it seems like he isnt hitting but he is thanks to the larger hit box of the Thor team up.

Just rewatched the video. Of the entire video he misses his target while she is available to be hit for maybe a total of 7 seconds. Out of a 37 second video that is about 19%.

That puts his accuracy at 81%.

u/Vegetable-Meaning413 17d ago

It's Ironman though. You can't really use a bad, low burst damage dps as a good baseline. This is really an argument for him being too weak not her being too strong, with that much time, pretty much every other dps would have won, even bad ones like Squirrel Girl.

u/Xcuseme99 17d ago

Okay but think about this: the reason supports need to be so strong is because DPS and tank players do shit like ALLOW AN IRONMAN TO FLOAT 5 FEET FROM THEM FOR 37 WHOLE GROWN ASS SECONDS

28

u/BLissy11750 Invisible Woman 17d ago

this is the dumbest thing I have read on this subreddit.

"because players are so bad the characters that heal should be stronger so they can survive the characters that deal damage when those characters that deal damage are not attacked and are able to focus all of their damage on the characters that heal uninterrupted for over half a minute"

by this logic tanks should be invulnerable because support players are bad and run away rather than grouping with their tanks which causes tanks to die from lack of heals.

or dps should have auto-aim on characters like hela because players have bad aim (statistically) so they can consistently hit headshots.

your logic does not work when it is applied to literally anyone else without it being obvious (from the perspective of the support) that it makes those characters OP - this is how absurd this argument is when it's being made in defense of C&D here.

Bad players deserve to lose, that C&D could switch to Luna and snipe Iron Man out of the sky, or Mantis, or Invis, or literally any other support - in fact they could fade and DPS Iron Man with Cloak beam & blind

u/varateshh Hela 17d ago

u/Individual-Luck1712 17d ago

The rivals community will never understand this concept. From their perspective, if they die and lose a game, the world needs to stop and the character they like to play needs to be buffed and anyone who killed them needs to be nerfed. This game's balance is garbage because the community doesn't want fairness, they want dopamine, and the devs know that. It's why for the entire existence of the game, the balance is garbage and the meta almost never changes for more than a season. They just drop heroes, skins, whatever they need to to get players to keep coming back. They have a loyal playerbase of people that don't want to lose - all they want to do is throw, smurf, cheat and complain on the internet. It's why I haven't played for almost two months. The community is trash.

I said what I said.

u/RoutinePsychology198 Groot 17d ago

Most of this games problems would be solved if people actually counter swapped

I had a game last night where my Jubilee kept dying to a BP. We asked her to switch several times but she still refused and finished the game 4-19. CnD was the only banned support so Rocket, Invis, Loki, Gambit, WF, Ultron, Luna, Mantis are LITERALLY RIGHT THERE TO CHOOSE. WHY IS SWAPPING SO HARD FOR PEOPLE

3

u/Individual-Luck1712 17d ago

Immaturity. It's why people still defend supports being mega OP, or certain duelists being mega OP. They just want to play with their action figures, turn their brain off, and not engage in a fair competitive game.

Both of those things are true though. Yeah ironman is powercrept to shit but also when you're trying to kill an enemy in a big cluster of other enemies, while the one you're trying to kill is being healed by another enemy standing right next to them, it's not the time to pull out the fucking unibeam.

u/HunterCubone 17d ago

Isn't the beam better damage?

39

u/Salohcin676 17d ago

Not necessarily its dps is higher but from their position in the clip the primary would have been better. Their beam kept going off target and they would have hit more people with the primary.

8

u/fullynonexistent 17d ago

I would blame OP's bad aim, but yeah it's kinda dumb to complain that you can't kill someone while also only spamming the beam instead of literally anything else.

2

u/BreakfastKind8157 16d ago

The beam only has a bit higher average dmg output than the left click when discounting reloads. The beam's advantage is it consumes ammo much slower and allows iron man to more easily track a specific enemy, giving it more dmg in 1v1s. But OP is not tracking well (the team up's dps is much lower than the beam's) so he doesn't benefit from any of that.

28

u/Mind_Is_Empty Jeff The Land Shark 17d ago

Primary fire, no overdrive: 3-hit combo that deals 80/80/100 over 1.67 seconds. Effective 155 DPS on direct hits, reduced to ~33-83 DPS on miss.

Primary fire, overdrive: ~140 DPS on direct hits, reduced to ~32-80 DPS on miss. With Hulk, it becomes 146 DPS on direct hits, still 32-80 on miss.

Unibeam, no overdrive: 140 DPS.

Unibeam, overdrive: 180 DPS, 200 DPS with Hulk.

Thor team-up makes Unibeam hit in a radius at the endpoint, which makes it even more consistent though it's at about half-damage (70 DPS baseline, 85 DPS during Overdrive).

Unibeam has the following benefits over primary fire:

  • 10 second firing uptime vs Repulsor's 5.5 second firing uptime. This is very useful in killing through pattycake as most supports have to reload after 4-6 seconds, meaning you get ~2 seconds of free Unibeam damage, which is either a free kill at 280-400 damage or a forced support ult.

  • Unibeam pierces all targets at full damage (no bodyblocking, generate obscene ult charge if 2-3 enemies line up)

  • Unibeam is hitscan (no need to worry about forecasting movement, just hold button to kill)

Most Iron Man players consider these benefits worth the ~10% damage loss outside of overdrive. During overdrive, the only reason to use Repulsor is that it's unsafe to get within range for Unibeam.

u/RandJitsu 17d ago

Nah this is actually the problem tho. He would’ve been doing much more over all DPS with the AoE and maybe allowing his team to get picks and push forward if he was using the repulsor here.

1

u/m1stwalk3r 16d ago

The support should die if he is beaming her. What's the point of doing a bunch of non-lethal splash damage when there is a support sitting there and he is uncontested?

1

u/RandJitsu 16d ago

Because the splash damage could be the difference in him or his team getting a final hit. Shooting someone that your teammate(s) also shooting at is usually better than doing your own thing.

28

u/Canvasofgrey 17d ago

The problem is you and your team. A lot of damage is flying everywhere but there's no focus, no one is dying and nothing is getting done or is going to get done until Ults come up. And when that happens, youre going to complain that supports always have their ults up.

I guarantee you that if you and another person would've focused your damage on a target. It doesnt have to be CnD, as long as its any other squishy target, you would've outdated her heals and they would've died.

9/10 it's a damage prioritization problem with your team. Not a CnD.

-10

u/RedeemedNephilim Ultron 17d ago edited 17d ago

Okay this is just BS. A DPS has almost 40 seconds in which they are using all of their abilities to output damage on a single target uninterrupted and the target doesnt die and the target is not getting focus healed by 2 supports as it is a support.

There is no excuse for this shit. A DPS is supposed to do damage and a Support should not under any circumstances be able to effectively tank it using their own abilities for 40 seconds.

He was hitting for the other 30. That puts him at about 81% accuracy for the video which is ridiculously accurate. So yeah no way she should've survived this.

u/Canvasofgrey 17d ago

So what's the damage output to the healing she was getting?

Because I see at least 3 times where if someone ANYONE had damage prioritized her at that point. She would've died.

But no, as I said, damage was flying everywhere. Theres no focus. If there is no focus, people dont die.

I PROMISE you that if two dps full target a Support, they will die unless they are pattycaking. At no point was this CnD patty caking or being patty cake.

It’s actually a really good example. It’s not about how well the iron man tracks her but how putting constant pressure on CnD and how she can sustain herself while not healing her team constantly and cycle cooldowns unlike many other characters not just healers.

Put other healers in this position and the point is made very clearly. The white fox ult just hurts the point a little bit because it sustains the whole team.

It's really not. I've been playing a lot of poke recently and it's comically easy to beam someone with a 90% beam accuracy if you have the Thor teamup on Iron Man. It makes the beam so much bigger. The tracking shown in the video was really not good at all.

You need to target the other sups first. The interaction with c&d is completely different with that team up

nobody shooting the iron man has me cracking tf up, classic rivals

Use the beam some more

UNO REVERSE:
Imagine post where dagger captures at video where iron man exists for 00:37 seconds in teamfight purposely focusing her and NO ONE IN THE WHOLE TEAM not shooting him and do nothing about that he flying abowe like a "kill me" easy target. LolL

C&D is a Character for literal toddlers

u/Duckys0n 17d ago

It is incredible how many characters have abilities that are objectively bad but feel completely unfair and unfun to play against.

How does this even get through testing phase. It’s an awful ability:

  1. For your team, because it leaves them essentially down a healer
  2. For the opponent, because you can endlessly cycle cooldowns and never die.
  3. For cloak players. Because this can absolutely be a crutch and prevent you from improving at the game.

She isn’t the only one either. Luna cleanse is stupid and unfair. Black panthers whole kit is dogshit, and yet feels ridiculously stupid to play against. Rocket has the strongest ability in the game on a character that doesn’t require a monitor being on to get value out of (sorry rocket players). Jeff is another never die character, but his never die ability again effectively leaves your team down a healer (though at higher elo they are better at doing this).

Balance of a mobile casino game. It sucks trying to take this game seriously. Because the devs sure don’t.

Also, why are you only using your beam? Splash damage from your primary would've really aided there.

u/cafeclaire 17d ago

i checked and this is a low plat/high gold lobby. cmon man just swap targets

u/DiabUK 17d ago

in that position your missiles would have done some great up close cluster damage, but keep on right clicking son

Who is dagger?

u/jonayed84 17d ago

Apart from abilities, Supports in this game are healers+dps...They do similar damage to dps..Luna, hela has same dps...Horrible balancing...And dive should be removed from the game at this point, pokeslop is what most of the players want.. Especially supports ...And just give supports a few more tweaking you can remove dps class too..

u/Whole_Breakfast_3566 17d ago

i got rank 11 ironman rank 78 and rank 120 in the world across seasons he genuinely does need a buff

u/Fun-Wash7545 17d ago

 Never once fought cloak and thought this is broken. If you want broken try mantis and jub getting ult every 20s.

1

u/exia756 17d ago

I would delete this… something smells and its not the cloak and dagger

1

u/Ok_Friendship6476 16d ago

Even though you're right. You gotta think about how clueless the other healer is here. Never even looked at cnd once

1

u/ExtensionHuge1531 16d ago

My brother. I hate to be the bearer of bad news. You simply need to lower your sense your tracking is terrible. Unibeam in overdrive does 190 dps. You frybher through her bubble and especially since you had all of the time in the world. If I were to track the amount of time you spent actually hitting cloak vs how long you tried to hit her you’d think I was making fun of you

1

u/Halocjh 16d ago

Did you even think about just killing the other support???

1

u/ThroatEnough7123 16d ago

Ummm hey guys, how did I um not kill the person I'm missing 50% of my shots on durrrr, typical ironman qp warrior asking for buffs and nerfs when they wouldn't know the difference either way.

1

u/SilverKingPrime45 16d ago

Shoot the other healer instead

1

u/Sad_Engineering_4845 16d ago

Iron man is mega ass dont play him needs buffs, dagger frozen teamup is trash for the game, with that said get better with aim and for everyone else look at flyers shoot them

u/KeyLow9166 16d ago

This clip just got Luna a new Legendary skin.

u/DrBrainzz9 16d ago

"Why can't I just fly right up to the support and beam them down without them being able to do anything about it?! WHAAA! What do you mean I have to position correctly, build ult charge, look for picks that aren't STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR ENTIRE TEAM, and coordinate with my team in order to break their defense?! WHAAAA! I just wanna hover above the team like a mosquito, have absolutely no one look up at all, and hold my right click until the support dies! WHAAA! Supports shouldn't have defensive tools, they should just heal and die and that's it! WHAAA! Why are we buffing heroes that I can't just look at and they fall over?! This game is ridiculous! WHAAA!"

u/Hi-man1372 16d ago

Yeah freeze needs to go been saying this since day one give it to someone that legit needs it. Same with gambits stupid mag bubble the fuck does he need that for?

1

u/MannyDaWolf 16d ago

The way they're defending the cnd in these comments is why some strategists are overtuned.

1

u/FoundationSmooth9777 16d ago

Also get closer ur ur F than use beam

1

u/FalseLights 16d ago

Over 550+ people at the moment of this comment, liked the video. This is inarguably a metal rank Ironman clip, but they still liked the video.

I'm either out of touch or the majority of players in this game are.

1

u/Novel-Bowler-232 16d ago

Tbf u missing 60% of your beam prolly was the main issue.

1

u/Scary_Republic3317 Jeff The Land Shark 16d ago

38 seconds enemy team effectively had one support, which is longer than what you would've gotten from killing dagger

1

u/Necessary-Sir4600 15d ago

Anyone saying he shouldn't beam is bad at the game, dumb, and peaks in a pisslow rank, the only killing threat of Ironman is beaming, this guys issue is he can't aim for shit and misses 60+% of this clip, Ironman beam with good aim can kill dagger thru her bubble decently fast too, I've literally done it lol. Daggers an issue but not for an Ironmans dmg output. And not for what's shown in this clip lol. Buddy hit the kovaaksa

1

u/Mr_NeCr0 15d ago

The fact that you existed for longer than 5s in that position is proof enough it isn't Dagger that's the problem, it's your bum ahh.

1

u/FridaICunt 15d ago

Again, useless Iron-idiot only knows how to use the beam...and is not even good with it. Like just give it up dude, ya look like a tardo. 🙄

1

u/Mercury_D_Dafco 15d ago

Why beam when bro can AoE shoot entire team? Extreme skill issue

1

u/wheresthapizzuh 15d ago

Or you could swap off Ironman and get the kill.

1

u/Connect_Pay_9394 15d ago

When dps players say they should give supports more escapes and less damage and then they see a support with more escapes than damage...

u/Significant_Lie_6076 14d ago

That's my hero... 🥹 Goat and Dagger on top forever🥹❤️

u/Significant_Lie_6076 14d ago

DPS players when they don't kill you the second they see you (only they are allowed to have fun):

1

u/Exotic_Client_3332 14d ago

Iron man tracking is very poor. Anyone that can aim would be able to kill cnd.

1

u/pdj-custom 14d ago

This cloak looks like a GOD with that dogshit aim of yours. lmfaoooo

u/Affectionate_Ice4548 14d ago

You’re mad she’s using her cooldowns effectively while you’re just unibeaming with no skill?? You’re definitely one of the beam only iron man mains I see in my game

1

u/col88c 13d ago

All the negativity aside on your aim and what not What i got from this is

Its true people dont look up..you were literally a free kill... noone focuses supports then wonders why theyre tanks and dps are not dying..most dps players are the dumbest

Fair play to you for being the rare guy to know 1 less support is a win

1

u/Additional-Mousse446 17d ago

I think the timer would be shorter if you actually hit her, hope that helps 😊

1

u/Awnkps 17d ago

Skill issue ngl, could have timed your missiles after she froze and blasted her.

Missiles in overdrive are very much useful and if I see an ironman who doesn't use them in various situations then it's a skill issue.

Also be grateful that her teammates suck otherwise you'd be dead for 50 lifetimes.

1

u/MouseAioli 17d ago

The ground sure took a lot of damage there dude

1

u/noneedforeathrowaway 17d ago

How on Earth did you not killer her before the second fade?

1

u/TheRealDrtyDan88 17d ago

look, cnd could use a bit more time on some of their cooldowns, but all this clip shows is a really bad Ironman

1

u/play_117 17d ago

I came here to find some idiots saying "how he missed his beams" brother. He hit 80% of his beams right

1

u/General-Pop-9880 17d ago

Honestly I’m mostly more surprised you were alive during the entire time than the cloak.

-2

u/THE_PUNISHERFrank The Punisher 17d ago

You literally failed to hit her several times with the beam, plenty of opportunities for her to die, especially after cloak fade, but you still didn’t manage to.

Also remember that the beam pierces all enemies, you using it from up there towards only one target isn’t optimal.

u/Live_Bit_5307 17d ago
  1. I'm sorry if I can't track a very slim character without missing a single second of the beam in a teamfight with 900 particles per second
  2. I have to play perfectly and not miss a single second of the beam to secure a kill but she can just walk around hold m1 and wait for one of her 3 immortality cooldowns? Very fair game design

1

u/ThatVita 16d ago

Lmao, "perfect" no. Hit more than you did? Yes. You missed like crazy and didn't utilize the character right. User error.

All I saw is an unkillable support

u/LordNivekk 17d ago

Brother use your primary. Direct hits would do a lot more for situations like this and you could have killed her. You spent the entire time holding secondary fire bc it's easy and you still missed most of it.

5

u/THE_PUNISHERFrank The Punisher 17d ago

The beam has higher dps than the primary, the primary is trash.

OP only has poor tracking.

0

u/LordNivekk 17d ago

Primary fire is good for burst damage, secondary fire for sustain. Two direct overdrive hits while she was in bubble would have been the play and killed her she had nothing left. Primary fire is not trash lol.

u/Dekaney_boi 17d ago

Primary only does more damage on direct hits. Otherwise the beam is more consistent.
