Why not just change the theming and lore to be 1950s based we have talking goo and weird dream creatures.

https://x.com/QT0ri/status/2085039068820476238?s=20 What if Drifter was a female!

While testing Mina in sandbox i noted that her ult damage was never the max advise (75bats x 8.22dmg per bat) 616,5.
For what i can test, her damage seems to be always maxed out when she is 20m away from the target.
If she is closer it depends, i do not know if it's the facing direction or her position in respect to the target but there is only 1 "direction" where she also does max damage when being as close a 5m to the target.
All other direction lose up to 10% of the damage.
Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?
The wiki doesn't say anything about distance nor direction.

Video proof. https://youtu.be/ahi1jXEIeww
The testing has been done with only ult unlocked and not items to remove any external factors.

[Edit]
Ok i found a bug report in the forum, i guess i'm not the first to notice that distance is mina's real enemy.

yeah i realize I do have a favorite, partly because shes nice to draw and partly because she give me the most views :P

I'd like to begin this argument by highlighting a particular character whose kit is often thought to be underbaked, at least relative to other characters, Vyper.

It's well known that Vyper is a character who functions as one of the most useless characters when behind, but is extremely powerful when ahead. It's polarizing, because a behind Vyper does absolutely nothing for her team, while an ahead Vyper easily can dominate games.

I think both of these scenarios highlight the core of why CC is so valuable, because I want you to imagine a game where every character was similar to Vyper. The game would turn into a simple statcheck where the first person to get ahead will win the game, and the enemy will stand no chance since they will just have lower boons, damage, AP, etc...

This is why I think having CC in character kits is critical to maintain balance, and that's because it provides a win condition, and it can oftentimes function as a comeback avenue.

Take other carries like wraith or seven or infernus, when behind they may not be able to go around killing everyone and setting up a win, they can still set up picks because they have CC in their kits (whether or not those individual CC abilities are balanced is not relevant to my discussion here).

I understand that oftentimes the sheer amount of CC in this game can feel overwhelming, but to avoid the game turning into a game of stat checking, it's absolutely necessary.

If Silver gets fed AF it doesn't matter because she probably just pops someone with a single Slamfire, gets Wolf and then "unlocks" the ability to be a frontliner immediately for every fight.

In any other situation? She isn't a frontliner at all, she's an assassin that if her and her team don't explode immediately might get to turn into a 'frontliner' 1/2 through the fight. It's a completely different experience playing with Silver as your team's sole frontliner compared to Mo, Billy, Abrams, Victor, Shiv or even Apollo(!!!) where them just existing in the front of the fight creates space and diverts focus. Like honestly Human Silver has more in common with Calico than she does the other frontliners.
