Its that time again! WELCOME BACK TO THE WORLDS GREATEST GAMESHOW! Today is all about season 3 and my thoughts on the current state of the game. Join my Discord! / discord
I hate how common the LH1 is now. In S2 it was fun to load into a game, get verbally abused for having the LH1 out, and then top fragging. It was slept on from the start
I’ve always had the LH1 as a backup on light since season 2. Then we arrived at season 3 and it was INSANE at the start. I still have nightmares about the 3 lights dashing around teamwiping me crossmap. Luckily that's mostly subsided.
I think they're jumping the shark with all this melee BS. It's very effective, but frustratingly cheap. Here comes a sword light, a dual blade medium that can just walk me down, and a winch claw sledgehammer. It's not interesting gameplay. Kyoto is a nice map. The structures are designed to be brittle and collapse with ease. I'm still getting used to approaching the cashout spawn in that bamboo forest, but I can't knock the design- it's nice. Overall, they gotta choose what they want to be. This is either an FPS or melee game; trying to do both is dumb.
I totally understand where you're coming from, in certain scenarios melee feels like cheap garbage. mostly on the receiving end but sometimes as a melee user. It seems that melee sometimes outclasses other options. I find it better to play against melee in tournament modes because they are then stuck with melee all match and cant switch it up in the middle of play. Allowing myself and my team to see that “Pink has a winch and sledge, range him out where possible” and whatnot. Casual modes are a different story… Kyoto is incredibly fragile and all the paper walls you can shoot through have gotten me some nasty elims I shouldn't have gotten. Not a huge fan of attacking bamboo but if you flank there you are invisible. Despite all of this I DO trust embark to make smart decisions to balance melee and the rest of the games meta this season. 😎
Dunno perhaps in a far future they scrap the weightclasses and rather implement a pointsystem, where you can equip gear and pay points for it on a basic character. A heavy could wear some blastarmor to protect against explosions or kevlar to reduce ranged dmg with a weakspot on the back (remember everyone has same hp). Whenever I play, I see only lights or a few Mediums.
Playing medium at the start of this season was basically suicide, heavies could out dps you and stun with the claw because you only had ziplines and jumpads for mobility. Lights had both more dps and better mobility than a medium as well. With the recent nerfs things have normalized a bit more but it still feels like medium is the lesser picked class. In fairness it is the “support” class which just happens to be able to frag.
1:59 BOOOOOOOOOO!! “Skip melee weapons”? BOOOOOOOO!!! I’ll have you know, I still haven’t used the M60, Lewis, or both shotguns on heavy. Gun users droll, hammer and melee users RULE!!
I won't deny melee isn't fun or really powerful but 9 times out of 10 I swear teammates are trolling my own team and trying to get themselves killed in teamfights. Maybe it's a skill issue on my part?

Go finals
Absolutely love the new map but the LH1 and the heavy grapple make me not wanna play 😂😅
Exactly why I stopped playing. Too spammy at the moment.
what is the ak reload animation your using? and how do i get it?
same question
@@diztinger You get that from the season 1 battlepass, so you'll never gon get it again lol
@@sensi7593 I think one day season 1 and 2 items will be available in store. Just thoughts
@sensi7593 is right it was in the season 1 battlepass, sadly it won't be back but the ak animation pack in the store is still pretty sweet.
@@specialservice too bad
The claw has a 14 sec cooldown if you hit a player or cashbox, halved if missed / hit other items
