Post your Match IDs here to get a quick VOD review from others
Disclaimer, I'm only peak mid Phantom so I hope other higher rated players can come in and give pointers to the mid to semi-high rank players, I'll probably only focus on lower end players myself tbh
Will post reviews later tonight

Gun Talon is legitimately a ridiculously hard carry.
I started playing Talon a couple of weeks ago and was originally doing the hybrid type of build that's very common on him, but after a couple of games tried a more gun-focused build. I couldn't believe how fast I was able to shred people once I got some core items. Since then I've refined my build a bit and have been having some crazy results, games with 20+ kills and 2-3 deaths, completely manhandling groups of 3+ people in late game, LEADING pushes from the front line and chasing enemies down after they realize their healthbar is getting straight up deleted in two seconds flat.
I start off with the three core Spirit items you always want regardless of if you're playing gun or spirit build (Extra Spirit, Mystic Burst and Extra Charge), and that's literally all I build for spirit except two key items: Quicksilver Reload on 1 (extremely valuable when you're up in the air and have emptied your whole clip to extend your DPS for another full 4-5 seconds), and Bullet Resist Shredder. I pair the BRS with Tesla Bullets to make sure it's procc'ing even if I miss on my arrows (and because it's a good cheap DPS item that is also a farming steroid, something Talon tends to struggle with).
The core gun items are Burst Fire (this is probably the most important, the DPS increase from this one is insane), Sharpshooter, Pristine Emblem, Swift Striker, and Lucky Shot. Your fire rate and damage will be CRAZY with these items and you can 1v1 literally anyone in the game and come out on top because of the bullt-in Lifesteal steroid on your 2.
If you're a fan of Crit'ing people in Mobas and watching their health bar disappear after just a few shots, you will LOVE gun Talon. In late game I can't tell you how often I've just ran towards enemies who are not expecting the crazy DPS that he puts out, kill them in two seconds flat, and then snowball to a win. Oracle II, so I'm definitely not super high level or anything, but also not playing against potatoes.
Anyone else finding Talon to be one of the strongest late game carries in their experience?

Fix the game or rework DC penalties.
Got into a game that lasted a max of 3 minutes. Halfway into it, my dash stopped working, although my shift key was still working. Disconnected from the game 3 times and had restarted my game twice. After restarting the game, I was locked at 2 fps and my character was distorted. I let shaders recompile both times. I abandon the match, as it is unplayable for me, and I am hit with a 2 hour cooldown, although I haven't abandoned a match in weeks. Why? Either fix stupid little bugs that ruin the match and force disconnects, or rework the cooldown system. This is incredibly frustrating.

Mouse ghost movement?
I played a game earlioer where my mouse would disconnect from the game ONLY. Ghost movement , can't click on anything. Happens when i shoot , level up a skill , or do a 3 and 2 skill with pocket. Temporary fix that i do is to press escape. Do you guys get this bug too? Any tips on how to not encounte4r this shit anymore? thanks

They should give Yamato's 2 a ghost-like visual to indicate she can phase through walls.
I saw the post where Yamato manages to get into Kevin's dome earlier with her 2 and a lot of people were rightly confused about the way that ability works. Visually you expect that it would be a simple grapple that can be stopped by walls or barriers, but in reality her ult is closer to a slow teleport that simply takes her to the enemy regardless of what's in her way.
Some people have claimed this ability is unfair however there are plenty of characters in mobas that can teleport to their enemies instanteniously, i think the ability itself is fine and the confusion is mostly due to the way the ability looks. This could be easily fixed by just giving her some sort of ethereal or ghost like appearance while her 2 is active, we instinctively know ghosts can phase through walls so it would be a nice visual indicator aswell as fitting with the visual themes of the game.

The Almighty Haze
in the last 16 game 14 of them follow the following rule: Haze on our team we win Haze on other team we lose
ps: the other 2 (1 of them has rage quite on haze team and the other one haze has the most kills and player damage yet the other team won by luck)

AUS Servers?
Hi guys. Are any of you Aussies finding that you get out in Asian servers alot? Me and my partner play multiple games a day every day and 30% of games we are on over 100 ping Asian servers for some reason.
We have exceptional internet so it's not like it is putting us in servers based on our ping or anything. It's only started happening through the last week or so. Anyone else experiencing this?

What’s your fav public build name?
“Anti-global warming guy” for Kelvin and “Daddy Issues” for Pocket are my personal favourites.
10:34 UTC
This game would be at least 33% better if it was a 4v4 with 3 lanes
because there would be 33% less leavers and 33% easier to balance matchmaking

Tfw
Tfw when your team can't play as a team and proceed to make the absolute worst game losing calls so you're typing question mark in team chat But then enemy team fumble so bad we actually win, now teammates flaming me
What the heck How fun was this match?
10:11 UTC
If I D/C a match but am able to reconnect, should I really be punished with a timeout?
Title basically, I was in a match when my router absolutely crapped out on me, after resetting it and having the internet finally come back online I rejoined the match, obviously I didn't have any impact since I was like 20k souls down but I was there at the very least and we did win.
tried to queue up afterwards and I was met with a roughly 1.5h timeout, that doesn't seem too nice for something that was entirely out of my control AND which I did manage to get back to.
10:09 UTC
I couldn't walk and I got 4 kills

Itemization
Not having a good understanding of counter items is such a huge challenge in this game (atleast in my rank).
This McGinnis made a literal fortress around her team during team fights. She kept us from getting any shrine until 69 mins into the match and no-one could figure out how to counter her.
Anyone know a good video that goes in-depth about how to itemize?

Abrams laning matchup chart
I'm not feeling that confident overall hopefully people point out where I'm wrong. Obviously Geist and pocket suck though.

MM is terrible
As an alchemist 6 i got put into an emissary 6 match. How tf does it put me in a match 3 ranks higher? I was the only one with practically any solid player dmg, obj dmg, and kills. Ofc the enemy haze walked all over us too cause broken ass character and no one else wants to buy stun items cause low elo (yes i know im piss low).
Seriously this matchmaking is terrible though, my matches connect almost immediately too so its not like it had to extend the range in skill to find a match either. Weirdest match making ive ever experienced.
08:05 UTC
How do you shutdown Viscous? Any items that could help?
07:28 UTC
guess who talked the most shit at the end of this match...
07:24 UTC
So like... How are you supposed to play this?
I think I kind of get like what the general idea is: You take the zipline to a lane; kill all the minions and whoever's there and let them tank the miniboss attack while you use the oppurtunity to fire.
The thing is; how are you expected to get that to happen? I can whittle down an opponent but then they just... leave. And idk if im just playing the wrong characters but even if I dash twice and use the movement ability there's no good way to chase them down to finish them off.
And then suddenly you start losing and everyone around you has like 3 stacks of a healthbar that can't even be touched while everyone on the team gets fucking smited by some tesla coil in the sky.
Am I right and I just need to find a character that can confirm kills or?
