Spidey could use a change (or we need miles)
Okay so, I started this game as a spidey main and have since gone flex and then mantis (who is absolutely slept on) So far I love it, yeah I hate getting melted by Elsa or namor but hey, those are literally counters that you have to play around or swap for. My general point is this: you should not have to put an entire work weeks worth of hours into a character and still feel useless or situational. My main problems If I get looked at... I die. If I uppercut someone other than my target, I die. I have to execute a nine action combo thats half animation cancels that uses up every resource, just to maybe kill a squishy. Then the fact that I HAVE to use animation cancels. Let's look at black panther Spear, drop, dash, tickle, dash out. That almost always guarantees a kill. Daredevil Ping, grapple, cross slash, couple melee, cross slash, dash out. Again, nearly gaurantees a kill. Skill issue you say? MY POINT EXACTLY Spider-man is litterally an all time favorite and is the whole reason why i joined, but you have to be absolutely perfect with him and thats impossible for everyone except necros and that one enemy team Spider-man. So heres how I would change him (comment ur opinions)
- Survivability, hitting someone affected with a web cluster grants non stackable overshield Example Cluster, grapple, uppercut, as long as you land that uppercut you have a chance to get out if things go south.
- Timing / cancels Either make everything cancel everything, or make nothing cancel and just make it quicker. The fact that you HAVE to animation cancel to not get melted by the low hp healer youre targeting is absurd 3.no aoe uppercut Im tired of someone getting caught in it and melting me while im in it, and I have not found a use for the aoe aspect that outweighs this downside
Or, we could get a different spider-man like miles morales. He'll be a hybrid of black panther, spidey and rogue/daredevil. 3 or 4 web swings, a venom blast (like bp spear) and singular target based combos. Swing in, venom blast healer, marks them with a "tracer" then a combo that does bonus damage from the tracer. The combo would have to be air based to remain true to spidey style so Uppercut, then you get like iron fist tracking where one of the hits pushes you towards them. Itd be a 3 hit air combo. How is this better than spidey? No yank, 300hp (or overshield) and its easier to track and finish kills. Notice how theres no cc, thats cuz the target still has to stand a chance. Also, no yank, instead you spend a web to target zip to an enemy (no damage). Opinions fellow spidey enthusiasts or haters?
