Guys.. I’m really really trying to understand how can Storm, one of the OG and most beloved mutant, goddess of elements have only 1 legendary skin ?! December 2025 to be exact was the last AND only time she got a legendary that’s crazy to me. And as you can see here he’s not even the most popular by the community, tbh the Queen of Wakanda is so good it should be a legendary.. I’m so sick of the lack of attention she has from the devs they clearly don’t care about her.. 🫩😔
they just drop the “Savage adventure” mini pass today and guess who has a savage skin the comics ? STORM! Is she in it ? NO.
But hey let’s give another legendary to the Korean industry plant because she don’t have enough legendaries already (still gonna get for Hela tho)

1st clip was from a ranked match (yeah we absolutely rolled them), and the 2nd clip was a just a QP match. Although the 2nd clip was QP, it really shows how having patience with your ult can really get you value sometimes.

Because youve now added yet ANOTHER counter to flying characters with Dino's grounding beam and refuse to truly create a good tenacity system, it's about time we buff them. Characters like Ironman, Storm, Angela and Torch are struggling hard this season, with Ultron being the only one who's decent/OP depending on the comp. Why do you guys feel the need to introduce needless CC into characters? Why do you compensate buff characters like Phoenix instead of just nerfing her? Why do characters catch random strays for no reason?

I understand that you don't want another Torch season, but killing him off for that long was poor balancing, Angela catching that random stray a few patches ago was crazy, especially since you've yet to fix her no-regs, Ironman for a good buff, just for you to bring in the Dino and then you overbuff Ultron making him oppressive in triple support and still horrid in double. These changes just don't make sense.

This clip is from a season ago

Horrible edit by me but I had to give granny Storm her flying wheelchair.

My personal opinion is if they wanna keep Storm unique, give her more auras. You can keep her as a granny that buffs her team but atleast give her rain and blizzard modes. Orrr keep her as is and give her a movement ability. Either way I'd be happy, anything to keep her moveset more varied and not limited.

I love that psylocke is getting skins, i just with they weren’t all eye candy skins, don’t get me wrong, i like them as much as the next guy, but come on we could have some fire ahh skins but they keep printing money with the eye candy ones. We don’t get cool skins, we just get skins that we roll our eyes to like “again? Really” and not “oh my god that’s so cool looking

Can you imagine the goddess going into blizzard/rain aura on the battlefield? They need to give her kit the added weather abilities.

Storm's pick rate from Season 1 to Season 7.5, has dropped from 10.74% to 2.6%. Basically it's a quarter of her Season 1 pickrate and mind you her Season 1 pick rate wasnt really high. Though that could arguably be due to the fact she was banned heavily. Still she was picked more than Wolverine, Ironfist and even Hela.

She however had the highest win rate in Season 1. Why ? Because she was arguably the strongest DPS at that time. She was only worthwhile playing when she was the strongest, however now even though her win rate has barely changed, her pickrate and banrate have plummeted.

So what changed ? Could possibly be various possibilities. Maybe the fact she was nerfed, made people not be able to tolerate her stagnant playstyle anymore. Maybe it was cause other fliers and poke characters were buffed hard whilst still also being more fun. Maybe her winrates are bloated due to the fact nobody knows how to play against her.

It doesnt really matter tbf. Storm's pickrate is dookie water and it's pretty much effecting her relevance within the game. She just recently got buffed with survivability and her winrate isnt bad. So her strength isn't really an issue. Hell I reached nearly Cel 3 when I took maining her seriously. I went further than I did with Hela or Phoenix when they were meta.

Take it from a person who's nearly Champion with Storm, her playstyle does not compare to the newer characters coming out. The issue is when you play Black Cat, Starlord or Deadpool it's very difficult to go back to Storm the floating Slug. Not unless she is dominating lvls of Meta.

They gotta move Storm from being a ult charging, weighed down, DPS bot towards are more nuance, exciting, engaging character. If not her pickrate will continue to decline as more fun characters are released.

This is just my take. I'm happy to see your opinions.

TLDR: Storm's pickrate has dropped by 75% from Season 1 - Season 7.5. She has a high winrate. So being weak isnt the issue. It's being boring/less engaging.

They did have an afk at this point so it was a 6v5 but still very satisfying. Double damage boost and timing bolt rush with goddess boost lightning for near enough instant kill.

Some Cel games. Do not miss the Jeff teamup one bit!

Thats how you fucking play her! And i think i just get 5 KO with her ult
