Just played a match with Bebop and I felt very limited by my powerset. It was great at first, me and my lane buddy were dominating the game. Most pushes, most kills, most souls. But once the game got to the teamfight phase, it all fell apart. The enemies stayed as far from me as they could, and I couldn’t get enough burst damage in with my hook before they ran away, and they usually had better move speed than me. It felt like my only good ability at that point was the hyper beam. And sure, I was surprisingly survivable in 1v1s, and the hyper beam could really help a push, but any time the hyper beam was on cooldown I felt like I could do nothing unless I caught an enemy alone.
How do y’all play bebop in the midgame? Are there any upgrades that make up for bebop’s weaknesses? I followed the suggested build up until I started getting my ass kicked, then switched to lifesteal. Lady Gheist and Shiv were the biggest pains in my butt.
Yeah. I’ve been tweaking my builds between matches to address shortcomings that I notice while playing, and trying to stack buffs so that whatever my habitual playstyle happens to be on a given character, it becomes empowered.
The hard part is to make sure the items you buy are a sane progression, so you don’t end up underpowered at any point due to not having a good combination of items at some points, while working towards the final build.
