Arctic Freeze

I'm at a crossroad with Lady Hederine. In a Mid-Long range fight the race gets destroyed like almost all other knife races but in a close fight you are 100% dead. The true damage lets lady 2 shot you and the whip makes it so you can do nothing to counter her unless you are playing a specific race at the right time. You can't back peddle when she whips you either so you are a sitting duck to all of that true damage. 200+ health on a race that can 2 shot without needing to backstab is disgusting honestly. The race looks fun but some changes should be implemented to balance it.

Oh and the screen turning red really isn't an issue if you aren't blind and an idiot.

Sure the race has a 1.3 K/D maxed but so does Magneto, Goliath, Cannibal (1.06 K/D), and Human Lawnmower. It's a knife race it's gonna have a low K/D if it doesn't have a massive speed boost, 1K health or easy bhops. Besides 80% of the players don't know how to use knife races which tanks K/D.

As for Igni I have never had a problem with it. Race is balanced and easy to kill.

People play CSGO still? Thought everyone was playing PUBG now. Besides I work/Go to the gym till 9pm. Also Whatever valve did to CSGO the last update broke my game and I won't redownload it. 

Besides the server died when it went back to only 20 people max. Just like before when it died before the cap was increased. Even if the server was unstable. Wcs is a lot better with a large group of people.

Arctic blind confirmed

100% blind rip.

To bad some of the comments here defending the race were still people with 0 clue. Majority though were legit answers.

I've had a week and really don't even think it needs anything. The thing that reminds me of that is Teron'gor before its Nerf. Though a Ulted Teron'gor with 6 kills is really broken. Fat chance you'll ever get it though. I've only gotten it once.

@Arctic Freeze I have personally tested this today and can report that it is not broken and the color (orange) goes away at the exact moment it is able to start dealing damage.

Test it with the expertise? I've been told there is an expertise and was wondering if that was causing the color to last a split second longer. I've only been seeing it happen when Xip is playing Abaddon. I'm not the only one who has noticed it.

If I'm wrong then I'm just blind.

So you either heal him to full so you have a chance of killing him as soon as his ult ends, or you wait and have him spray until it ends killing you instantly. I'd rather spray instead of sacrificing myself so he doesn't heal.

Except the color for the ultimate lasts longer than the ultimate. I've already made a war3bug about it though

It isn't about everybody giving their two cents. The reason people bitch in game instead of posting on the forums is that when the post on the forums there is a public record that most people disagree with their opinion and it hurts their ego.

The coloration change should last the same as the ult duration, if it doesn't it's an error and I blame skitt

Honestly talking to some of the normal war3 players it's seems it's split down the middle with Abaddon. On the other hand people down vote even though they have 0 clue what they are talking about like Smash or Chilly. Honestly I should've just talked to Skitt over taking it to the forums to actually check if Abaddon has a error. I've watched it for a week and noticed it has a slight 1-2 second delay to changing its color back to normal. (Which yes it does matter for anyone who doesn't play at a competitive level in rpgs.)

So because someone gets in your face and uses an ultimate and you die the ult needs to be changed? Don't get close to him... Change to a race where you can bhop away, etc...

 

You of all people should know that's not the point I am making. Yes you can "run away" but the Ult color change lasts longer than the ult making it impossible to time perfectly for the opponent. So unless you want to waste a full clip healing a Abaddon your only other option is running away. While other races have other ways to counter them in a ult. Now the introduction of Death Bringer may change things if it voids the healing to Abaddon. Apparently people were right. Posting anything to the forums about races gives people who have 0 clue (or barely play)to how a race works (Not talking about Face) a chance to give their 2 cents even if it's wrong. I stand by my opinion of having Abaddon's ultimate needing a slight delay after ending it will give people another option other than running away.

@Arctic Freeze You are legit retarded if you think Abaddon is OP Xiplitz plays it all the time I have no problem with it he's decent at it. I think you just need to get better at the game.

Or just think of a Counter race lol.

1.Get a better reaction time to shoot him when he gets out of his ult

2.Like smash said run away or bhop around a corner

3.If Xip is on and he's on abadoon I will legit come over on war3 to show you how ez it is to counter it

I'm not saying its not hard to counter I'm saying a slight delay would help balance the race that is all. Stop being a child and actually learn to discuss things without calling people names.

The race isn't Tero broken but it's still better than most races because you can spray into peoples head while ulted with no consequences like other races.

Also if you actually play you'd know the orange color lasts slightly longer than the ult.

Recon scout. Testing now, one sec.

I was thinking of Lilith. Lilith can't shoot in its ult and has a slight delay after ulting for when it can shoot.

Now that I really think about it all it needs is a slight delay to stop people from running up to people and just spamming bullets.

Oh, I'm actually retarded. Got it.

 

Hm, I'll be honest, I don't see it as a problem. It's a bit griefy, but by removing it's ability to shoot you end up potentially buffing the race in reality. If you've played other races that can't shoot for a period of time, you'll know the animation still plays and no bullet comes out/ammo is consumed. This causes you to still be able to spam at the same rate as if you were shooting if using something like a deagle without using any ammo from the mag, causing an infinite chain of deagle spam to the head.

 

There's a race that goes invis and is unable to shoot and cant fire at all but I can't remember the name. Pretty sure it doesn't let you shoot at all.

1. Race is totally balanced IMO, it's ultimate is literally "I'm orange, don't shoot me or I heal."

2. Run around a corner, strafe, bhop, meme flashbang etc. All of these are ways to negate getting shot directly out of his ultimate, war3 is always going to have races that you have to do something to counter the ability, whether it be another race or an in-game tactic.

lol, it can't shoot during its ultimate, lol

 

I think you need to replay the race. It can shoot during its ultimate but does no damage until it ends. Spamming a gun into someones head makes it so as soon as you get out of your ult it instantly kills the person. Xip does it all the time.

Abaddon, Lord of Avernus ultimate Borrowed Time lets people walk up to someone stand in their face and spam bullets into their face so they can kill someone instantly when it ends. The race is unbalanced and possibly could be changed so it can not shoot during its ultimate. Many races have been nerfed for the same reasoning.

Edit: This post is done. 

I missed this while arguing with beerman over something stupid really? *grabs popcorn* Even I wouldn't say any word close to the N word isn't racist. That's just ignorance.

The map change is now instant as soon as the last round ends. There is no 5 seconds anymore to even hit a buy tome bind.

Face left for not even a month and everything is breaking. These are dark times.

Edit: Was. Seems to be fixed for now.

That's almost 2x the radius of a Undead Scourge if not 3x.
