I just hate what they’ve done to her this season. I left it a couple weeks to see if I’d get used to the changes, but I just need to drop her from my hero rotation at this point, she just feels so bad to play now.

I am not saying she’s weak necessarily, I know she still seems to have a good win rate, but in terms of being fun to play, and skill expression? Netease have absolutely ruined her for me. You can’t cancel scarlet witch or strange ults reliably now, you can’t trap an overly aggressive diver in your backline, you can’t really do ANYTHING except sit on nests, plant mines and shoot your M1. It’s just not fun man.

Netease please please just give her the snare back, add a longer cooldown, take away some of her HP, literally ANYTHING bar taking the snare away. Until then I’m sorry fellow Peni mains but I’m out 🫡

I'm a tank main and I pretty much know at least one of each type of tank, besides a "bunker" or "control" tank. Trying to know more tanks so I can be a lot better with my counter picks. With all of the divisive things I hear about Peni, what’s the consensus on her? Is she worth learning? Looking for a strong anti-dive and anti-brawl character for when I'm struggling with divers, or tanks like Thing/Thor. Is now a good time to learn her? She seemed more fun to play compared to Groot to me anyways. I know and feel comfortable with Mag, Cap, Hulk, Strange and Thing.

Hi! I’ve been playing peni for a bit now I know this season isn’t the best for her but I just wanted to ask for some tips to get better with her

My other tank main is rouge and peni is really different from her

Thanks!

In this video I explain what rainstrike is and give you examples for each map.

It's not really a guide, that breaks everything into science and teaches you every detail like lineups for example, I want this to be treated more like a freestyle tech, cuz in longer run I do believe its better, its all about building a muscle memory to the point, where you will start using this tech without even thinking about distance/angle/tilting.

Small tip, if you want to practice it in custom games, for starters you can use your nest (by placing it where you want to land you mines), since you can see it through the walls, it will help you understand the general distance/angle for using it.

I watched a video about lineups and wondered if the motion of mines could be described through a formula to calculate angles for lineups.

When you spawn into practice range your cursor is dead set in the center of your screen. That was the only way I could think of to get my cursor at an angle I would know being 90° granted my mouse might have shook a bit.

I used a stopwatch on my phone to time the flight time of peni's mine's. The mines at 90° flew for an average of .55 seconds for a distance of 22 meters.

To find out how strong gravity was I got up somewhere high with rocket cause he is the smallest and I think gravity is the same for all characters unless you use your passive. For a height of 9m he fell for .6 seconds so gravity is 15m/s but further testing gave smaller numbers never going under 14.4 though. I used 15 cause i like whole numbers.

I didnt feel like learning so I used a projectile motion calculator with the info and ended up with a velocity of ≈ 8.372

There is a lot of room for human error in these tests but the flight of Peni's mines can be modeled by the formula

8.372sin(2θ)

D= -------------------

15

Im gonna test this out but its useless without a way to see angles and with all the changes in elevation. But I put way too much work into this to give up. Im gonna study this for a bit and update
