How does this impact ranked elo gains considering the assist system not supporting utility entirely. Also, it seems assists doesn't seem to impact combat score at all in ranked really.
Some of the ranked updates we've communicated out should help address this!
You said in a comment down below that she's an initiator like Breach. Where do you draw the line between Initiator and Sentinel when it comes to giving an agent a class? I could see how she could be considered both.
Sentinels help control ground that your team already owns. Skye doesn't really do that, all her utility makes her somewhat vulnerable in order to push out and take ground from the enemy team.
That’s actually super cool! I think you did a fantastic job. I’m very excited to dig into her lines for more references and my mates and I have already started arguing over who is going to main her.
Things like the rightio and cheers mate felt so right in my Aussie bones haha.
You’re right, riding that line is tough. But so long as you never go full Point Break Aussie you’re fine ;)
P.s Point Break Aussie https://youtu.be/TF1YemGWVpo
Wow I wish I'd seen that video beforehand, I'd have pushed to use it in her script ;)
As it is, I just hope my suggestions for The Castle references made it in!
You're answering this question but not answering why the practice range isn't run entirely client sided which is a far more interesting question.
I'm not the producer on that particular feature set, so my answer would be more generic--also didn't see the comment for it. Mostly the answer is it wasn't a high enough priority/value for us to have the team bump the other stuff on the roadmap. That plus our general paradigm of heavy server side validation and set up of our game would mean a decent chunk of work for a potential niche use.
I don't know, I came into this excited and now I'm regretting posting lol.
I'm Australian, and I listened to the auditions for Skye and we went with my favorite, so how do you think I feel?
It's ok, riding the line between "bland" and "over the top" is hard, and I think we landed in a good place. I hope Aussies find some fun references in her lines.
Bro changes need to be made to DM. The mode is not enjoyable at all and doesnt serve it's purpose properly rn. Allowing players in is ok but if the DMs are still 6 minutes long, it doesnt matter. I hope they make core changes to DM then let us get into it in Queue
updates coming to DM, good ones

Hey friends, producer on Characters here . We worked with a native Australian VA, but as you'll discover from more of her story, her accent is intended to be from a more rural part of Australia.

im australian and her accent is so f**king fake
they're trying to sound like steve irwin but Skye just sounds so f**king fake, its tilting me so hard

Kind of like Breach then?
Would be more effective in competitive play.
Yup! She’s an initiator like Breach, so she’s stronger with allies, but tends to be even more supportive than him overall.
From all the agents so far, this is the one that seems the most versatile, IMO. You got your healing, you got your flashes (which from the looks of it, you can control), you got your wolf to track enemies down. She looks like a great addition to the game
One of the ideas behind Skye is that she provides a lot of utility, but is more dependent on her team to capitalize off of it because it requires her gun to be down/has longer re equip times to make self capitalization more difficult.
She’s a great choice for more utility-oriented or supportive players who want to work with their team to enable big plays. A good Skye player who’s in sync with their team can really provide a ton of impact to the game, even if they’re not always on the front lines getting the frags themselves.
riot is so cancer. they won't introduce a pause feature? Its not pausing mid round u dumb idiots its pausing before the game / round starts this what the actual comment meant. Jesus im underbite cringing rn...
like bruh cmon this is not elon musk rocket science...just put it in the game already. takes like 10 mins to code.
From the answer to the question: "To make sure everyone has a chance to handle their business, we'll be exploring different ways of possibly incorporating a pre-round pause. This would allow you to pause the match without the possibility of impacting the outcome of engagements."
