Ned to figure out how to quote. lemme add that to my to do list…
Anyhoo @calamarimonitor
Ok let me preface this by saying it;s not a insult and I intend to help you Kleese is A SUPPORT so that means: Your doing it wrong. Now now hold up! before you flag that I said it was not a insult and I am going to offer advice, like right now.
Taser is NOT a kill weapon, it;s a shield melter and GANK weapon. as in your gonna use it best if your being a sneaky dick. let your tanks engage and if you see them struggling float your old butt in, tase the enemy to kill their shields and RUN. you did enough killing their shields. Alternatively and there is a Taser damage helix up actually too- use it when a enemy has stupidly low HP to Gank, if they are trying to run pop out and ltaze em!
His Rifts ARE DEFENSIVE ONLY. They are not supposed to do anything, is says in the skills description " generates shield boosts for teammates, it requires a lvl 1 helix upgrade to actually shock enemies when it pulses. They are for support and evil body blocking. Says it in the skill, and in the guide above. So you goofed WHICH IS FINE. people make silly mistakes.
His ult is utility and CC at it;s finest, not a kill shot. It should be used on grouped enemies to pull them into a central murder zone or pull back and hold out minion waves and pushes, yes it does damage and can kill weakened enemies but it’s mostly used for hard CC and there is excells specially with careful targeting behind enemy tanks, it will rip them clear out of the line of fire and expose squishy melee and healers so easily. Also it can be used as a Ult setup. drop yours pull enerything and tell your nearest AOE juggernaut to let er rip. OM’s artillery barrage, Ambras meteor, any ulti or skill that deals big AOE loves a good Kleese.
Just from the vid and how your taking about him I can tell your playing him not as a support, you were often far too close to the combat zone - his lvl 3 or 4 helix mutation turns his main weapon into a sniper always use it- your job is to rift like nutter butter and support. Your playing like a basic healer or at worst midrange in capture, which unto itself is not support friendly unless your Miko or Alani. Kleese is labeled as “territprial” for a good reason, in that he works best and most effectively when in Incursion or Meltdown, where he can pop in, set up a HQ for his team and start literally controlling things with Rift placement and snipe mortars. if he;s always on the move he does suck.
BTW how in the heck do you not have Phobe she unlocks at a much lower Command Rank then Kleese and, even assuming you did story to get him you should have gotten Phobe before he even unlocked. Just curious.
@chelton91 Surely but they are odd. I run a damage up, a HP up and a Skill damage up. I know your thinking I’m stupid but hear me out.
The raw damage up helps my base attackls and Taser hit harder specially when you unlock the sniper mutation, those two at decent levels make me capable of full screen killing a Marquis in two fully charged bolts. not to mention the extra taser damage. the HP up helps me stay a bit tankier though a shield boost or any other effect is welcome here as well. - that said later on he does have Helix upgrades to his shield so maybe focus on HP- and the Skill damage may seem like a waste but I spec as a controller offensive kleese so My mortars hit hard and you cannot believe how many assists I rake up with my damage rifts out in a proper grid. Absolutely wrecks if your dilligent.
I’m sure others run different loadouts but mine has served me remarkably well. and it;s not even anything special, blues and greens mostly.
