Iso changes: All about the update – Some call it ‘Goated’, Others say ‘Garbage’ | Esports News
Long-time users of the game haven’t hardly heard of the recently revamped Iso abilities. While some are singing praises of the update, calling it a game-changer, others feel it just doesn’t do the trick. Redistribution of powers horizontally through the kit on all his abilities is an overall revamp targeted to make Iso a much well-rounded agent in the game, focusing on Undercut, Contingency, Double Tap, and Kill Contract abilities.
Community Divided: Iso’s Abilities Spark Praise and Criticism
All players seem to have made their verdict. Some are even saying it is “crap,” claiming, among others, that Iso really needs more utility, especially when buffed with a shield. Others are calling it a “perfectly balanced” update that gave Iso even more strategy depth. One player even referred to it as “goated,” which is a commonly used term when referring to something of top-tier performance.
Key Updates : Iso’s Abilities
- Undercut : This ability has now got only one charge rather than two charges. Besides, the cost of this ability has also risen from 200 to 300 credits. This ability also includes Suppression and Vulnerability to enemies, and after 4 seconds application of the effectiveness, it will be more powerful in hindering an opponent’s movements.
- Contingency: Alt-Fire mode is now modified and the wall moves at half velocity compared to what was formerly. Obviously, it makes the agility of this ability slows, but this doesn’t affect the soaring duration and grants more control concerning maneuvering or strategy.
- Double Tap: The newly discussed capability of Iso is the change in Double Tap. No more are players tagged with Wall Penetration once his shield breaks. Instead, they are stamped with a Heavy Penetration tag causing Iso to be slowed more after his shield breaks. This has raised varied responses; some feel Iso is indeed very much vulnerable during critical times while others just see it as an interesting change in gameplay dynamic.
- Kill Contract: A major fix for the bug states that if Iso does not hold the buff from Double Tap, this will now automatically be acquired when the ultimate is used. It ensures that Iso will spawn an orb after winning ultimate duels, leading to opportunities possibly for his team.
Community Response
The recent changes have been a hot topic of debate within the player community. Some users feel that the changes really don’t address the issue of Iso’s shielding, and they are calling for it to be buffed so he remains viable. Others argue that the new balance gives Iso a stronger role in team dynamics, especially in long and strategic rounds.
In any case, opinions about Iso’s new abilities remain very divided. For now, whether the players consider the changes “garbage” or “goated” remains up to the test of time for whether it puts Iso back in a solid position in the arena.
