I disagree on the signature ability change, in a game where heal is really only useful in increments of 40 and the molly only heals 60something health, I'd rather stay at 20hp and get a 3rd flash to create a favorable fight for myself or something like flashing and swinging with a teammate as opposed to healing from 20 to 80 and having to take a dry fight where my only advantage is being 2 body shot to a vandal rather than 1. That's just my view though, a flash gives you more to work with than a molly.

I like the wall change but i would alsk like to to do more damage instead of doing the heal thingy, the molly and flash is dumb as fuck, the shields is dumb but i dont really understand it so if anyone does tha would be great. But im so confused by the whole thing, i dont think phoenix neded a rework but just a slight buff
@solarxenoz6 сағат бұрын
i still feel like phoenix should get a stim when ulted (along with the obvious longer wall) but this should be fine, not better than jett raze or neon, but fine regardless.

Think the Regen shield will be popular in low elo. But useless in higher elo.
@TheCrystalBlood6 сағат бұрын
It is possible, if we give Riot enough feedback, they might revert the signature change and make his Hot Hands his signature again. But maybe giving him a flash for free turns out to be stronger than expected. This is really something we need to test in order to make a full judgement on it.

Problem with healing shield IF ITS NOT FOR JUST PHEONIX: from what it seems, this heal shield will be a shield that heals after breaking when you fight an enemy. When they nerfed Reyna’s heal, it was to make her less strong in ranked. But if you healed shield and hp at the same time, then it would break ranked. Especially since it would have to be more expensive than regular heavy shield, meaning that it would only help people stomp in low elo because your money would snowball faster than the losing team and you’re getting better armor. This patch would break the game, but then again that’s only if it’s game wide. If it’s just Pheonix than it’s whatever.
@DisSabot2 сағат бұрын
Not really, it looks like you are limited to 125hp with the shield, which means you die to Phantom 140 dinks and Outlaw body shots, and the heal is from his wall, i.e. the shield only heals itself and not the agent. And if it turns out to be more expensive than heavy shields, Outlaw is going to absolutely have a field day beating armor that costs more than 1k with a gun that only costs 2.4k
@TheCookieCook2 сағат бұрын
@@DisSabot your logic makes no sense? What about the 98% of other situations where you’re not getting dinked by a phantom or body shot by an outlaw? If your buying this armor than you likely have a huge economic lead already so you would only face these guns a few times every round. And even if you lose you just buy the health shields and the cycle repeats because in ranked not everyone hits their shots and someone constantly healing their armor could for sure curb stomp and make smurfing Reyna’s and insanely huge problem because it essentially just brings her back to her pre patch 8.11 state where she just keeps healing to full after every kill. I really hope this isn’t implemented for all agents it would be so bad for the game unless handled very carefully but ngl the idea itself is so flawed it should’ve been scrapped.
@DisSabotСағат бұрын
@@TheCookieCook And that eco lead is going to be knocked down easily because you are limited to 125hp which is easier to kill with eco weapons? A Sheriff head shot is now going to be always lethal, a Guardian kills in 2 body shots instead of 3, 3 Vandal body shots instead of 4 (on full buy rounds admittedly).

oooo, switching the molly for rechargeable flashes... idk, I like having rechargeable mollies. I spam them to check corners and pull people out of the back of site. hmmmm... but with a constantly healing wall... well that changes things. You could play so much more aggressively, especially in lower elos where people don't tend to aim consistently for the head.
@bobronsons57809 сағат бұрын
I dunno about this... the molly as a standard was ALWAYS why you'd pick him. Phoenixes are all about second chances... how does a crappy flash replicate that aspect? I would say the free heals after a fight for a fighting chance in your next fight is more indicative of that aspect (his molly is my preferred signature ability his flashes are sht)
@Lumpi02089 сағат бұрын
The molly only heals 50hp so you will only be tanking 1 or 2 extra hits depending on how much health you have. So having a flash as standard (which if used correctly can win you almost every duel) is actually not a bad option.
