 What's up, everybody? I'm the Magus. You are awesome, and I've got some more predecessor gameplay. This time I'm playing howitzer He's yet another one that I barely touched in Paragon. I really thought I had a large stable of heroes I could call upon back in the OG Paragon days But I'm really starting to realize that I pretty much just played anything that other people thought was bad Anyway, not an experienced howitzer player, but I still enjoyed him So if you have any tips for improvement, please leave them in the comments below Let's take a quick look at his abilities Howitzer's passive occasionally allows his basic attacks to deal splash damage and a Restore mana based on the damage done by the splash. This has a cooldown, but it can be reduced by casting abilities His Q is the R2000 rocket, a long-range skill shot with a bit of an AOE on the end His right-click throws three grenades out that pop up when someone walks over them to deal damage and slow His mine is an AOE that can be reactivated to displace yourself and enemies I'll top it real quick But does anyone else think that his grenades act more like mines while his mines act a little more like grenades? I mean, I guess none of them really act like grenades, but I just always found the names odd Anyway, Fred changed howitzer's ultimate up He can now literally fly around for a bit firing down at people. His R2000 rocket has a decreased cooldown during the ultimate But it does 10% less damage as always Please like the video if you enjoy it sub for more third-person mobile content for now. Let's play some Howie I just want to say real quick that Omeida did a great job with the visual effects in the game And you can really see that with how how he's rockets his basic attacks whenever you fire and it just blows up like that Oh, it's so cool. It hit really well done up against Gadget and Lane Just kind of want to get my last hits poke at her with the R2000 rocket a little bit Gadgets passive in predecessor was whenever she takes damage she gets a shield and whenever that shield expires or gets Knocked off it explodes for damage. I thought this was a really cool Passive for gadget mainly because of the way I play gadget which is to slam a mine on my own head and then charge face first into the enemy team, but um Yeah, I really I really like gadgets passive a lot of people I've heard some people say they didn't care for it Didn't really suit there. You see it. You saw it just pop up. She's just got that shield They said didn't really suit gadget in particular, but the way I play gadget it fucking suited me just fine Moses on over here to help out grocks, but he's a strong independent rhino He did he didn't need my help, but you know while we're over here might as well tag fucking do a lane I don't think I mentioned this at the beginning But howitzer has one of the few ranged attacks that cleave that do a little bit of cleave damage So it's not just his Passive that gives him that his passive gives him more cleave in the mana regen and everything Also, I just picked up a jungle buff that's gonna give me some mana and a shield I'll throw up there. What all the jungle buff river buff. I'll show you what all the river buffs do Should be on screen right now Subrock scared the shit out of me there and I used the mine inappropriately I could have knocked him back while knocking myself forward, but I was a little impatient. That's that's what I'm talking about I'm not a not skilled with Howie And I couldn't use my blink to get out of that my blink is you can see the little shoe at the bottom right my blink is Still available, but The blink has a much longer duration Cool down then my ultimate so why not use the ultimate to escape instead because it's gonna be up faster kind of screwed grocks over there, but It's not in his way a little bit while he was trying to escape he probably we've gotten away from seven about my chunky Frame wasn't there. That's one of the problems. I had with predecessor Is they seem to have very jagged Hitboxes so that was very hard to maneuver around your allies You I mean body blocking other your your own allies should be a thing like that's a mechanic You should have to play around but God it was um is very pronounced in predecessor I'm good example of that was Raven yelling get out of my way fat guy when I was playing Richter and he was trying to get a pentakill Picking up the dream blinder as my first item. I love this item one pretty much any Midlaner, this is the one that gives you a slow on ability hit This was especially good with howitzer during his ultimate because you have such a low core down on those are 2,000 Rockets and each one is slowing allowing people to stay in range to really nail them down with those rockets It just he already has a slow in his kit with his grenades, but I like the extra slow I like the extra slow in the old rockets. That's all a lot of house was making really great plays But with the mines thrown in underneath the tower and just popping people out of it Or do you know pop people into their own tower? I'm just not getting over that shit to pull it off I just want to say real quick that I made it elected to use the voice lines that were commissioned by epic If you didn't know epic commissioned voice lines for a lot of the heroes They just never use them in game and I hate the voice lines for howitzer. He sounds like a fucking squeaky toy He's like this. He's smoking a cigar in a mech suit full of explosives I you would think you would sound gruff or something. I don't know I know he I know he's a fucking hamster, but goddamn. I don't like his little squeaky voice I wish they would replace that somehow I tried to get cute with my mind I don't even know if you get up on that ledge with a mind Let me know in the comments if you guys accomplish some crazy shit like that Signaling like mad for my team to come get this fang tooth I know we're pushing up and we're making good progress, but this would be our third fang tooth And that's when it really gets powerful. This is when you get 6% on your basic magical damage You get 6% magical armor and physical armor and yeah We could have taken it really easily just just for free right there, but they pushed up. Um, they got a little bit done So that's cool. I still don't agree with what happened here I got interrupted by Narbash's ultimate out of my ultimate as I was flying up But it immediately reset like something did happen like I started to fly up and it got interrupted That should have went on full holding. I mean I'm kind of happy in that fight that I got away, but I don't think that's the way it should work Wouldn't had waited out the gold just a little bit to pick up galaxy greaves I figured it's fun to ult up in the air and shoot rockets down to people Why not just have that on an item where I could jump up really high and spam an R2000 rocket also Went a lot. We had a hard time closing this game out. We didn't really have any tanks We had we had grucks and several but they weren't really frontlining who was frontlining was our sparrow Just kept running in face first into the enemy team, but um, yeah We just kept trickled that thing in and they had a bunch of tanks. So yeah, it's uh It was a rough one. It was a rough one Yeah here. Yeah, yeah, here's several And the other thing that just really prevented us from closing this game out I just use my ultimate to get the bug out of there right there The other thing that really brought us from closing this game out We didn't have a proper support like they had several that was healing Um, I built blight which is the reduced healing to help deal with that But he was healing. He was being disruptive in teamfights. He was stunning people There their nabash was doing a great job and we just didn't have a support like I don't I don't even know who the fuck was over it. Uh Into elaine at the beginning We finally picked up or prime really good job from our team But uh, yeah, this game is going way way too long I mean look at our several our several doesn't even have tier two stacks on his shoulders Like he's kind of going to be useless when he tries to Go into the enemy team and then our sparrow keeps trying to tanking and she's getting really frustrated And like I I mean, I don't know what to tell her they they have a support We don't we just got a kind of back off and picked them off one by one so that As the as the timers the the death timers Keep getting longer. We have a more and more of a chance to push this out and actually win the fucking video game Right there. We just calmly picked them apart. They kept dashing in and feeding which is Thank god the game was good for fucking ever I made a mistake right here by peace and out I should have I just I decided to just push down another in him To to get things rolling because gadget is defending the dog shit out of the core, but luckily um While I'm fighting her Sembrock comes in I take a whole bunch of damage from her ultimate and they're going to start um But look at those the death timers like I should have stayed I should have taken a look at the death timers the state. It's all right, though We got minions on the core. We got several there We win the we finally win this freaking video game 45 minutes was For me a pretty long time to spend in predecessor um Yeah, it's just the the different the tank difference and not having a support just kind of uh Bore down on us, but yeah, there's uh, there's some house or gameplay.
