Riptide Is Super Safe | Forums

Rep 2 Orochi here

While i wouldnt say its OP by any means, if were being totally honest its pretty much the safest dodge attack out there :/

The old Riptide was a great tool when used correctly but missing it meant u would have to recover, giving the opponent enough time to properly punish you for your mistake.

Id say make the recovery time a bit longer and be done with it.

Tbh I really liked the old riptide. If they had made it uninterruptible and maybe dodge back slight more (also make it immune to GB in the start-up), then it would've been perfect imo. It was so incredibly satisfying, and I loved how powerful it was. It was much faster than storm rush and so it was actually very useful in some situations (especially because you could be easily caught in the slow start-up of storm rush if you use it when you're right next to your opponent). The new animation looks incredibly ugly too, and the whole awesomeness factor of the move has disappeared.

As much as I didn't like the old riptide this one is meh. Sure its fast but I would have rather been able to hold or cancel the old one. It hits for 20 dam and now no execute. I miss the SR cancel to GB as well. He is fast and side lights are nice so i don't have to just try to get top lights all the time. It's new so I now have a tendency to use riptide a lot as not everyone is used to it. Btw rep 30 something with Orochi if it matters.

Except it can be punished.... with a parry/deflect.

OK, have fun parrying/deflecting a 300ms attack on 30fps console. What's it like to be God, can you tell me?

i don't think its any safer than dodge attacks. u can cancel it once u start it and all u need to do is feint bait it out.

Just hit him out of it during his run up.

yeah, only that he is 10 meters away that runs towards you while he can wait for your stamina to lose.

Indicator comes out late. There's no way in hell this is the same thing as Shugoki's lights, it seems twice as fast.

he can hard feint and deflect/parry instantly. if you want to light him out of it you have to wait till the 600ms run is done and he's starting to attack. Not as easy as you'd think.

Getting the proper timing down is stil easier than reacting to the 300ms indicator imo.
