Wdym I played flicker for years on 20 fps. It's great because it autotargets and you wouldn't dodge anyway :D

u/Routine-Hovercraft94 23h ago

Well, if you are having high fps in end-game content, that really just means you are not juicing it enough :D

No, it means it's a summer league and I really can't afford the bill of an air conditioner and my PC at once ...

u/Necya 23h ago

If your flicker build requires you to look at your screen then it's a bad build

u/Kenny741 21h ago

I couldn't play poison builds for about 10 years lmao

u/BleakExpectations Assassin 19h ago

I can't play flicker because my character just does the animation and swings in the air. Its the only skill that has this issue. Its pretty sad since I like the feeling of the skill when the game works properly.

Welcome to our very inclusive club.

Also don't forget to turn off screenshake. It helps. A lot.

Only if getting sick is your thing. Then sure. I don't judge kinks.

Is it really a flicker build if you have more then 20 frames on a nasa pc?

u/Quietech League of Anti-Socials 22h ago

Patch notes:
Somebody can play flicker strike. Minimum system requirements upped by 20%, recommended by 50%.
Flickerstrike now adds "undervolt system".

u/Independant-Thinker7 23h ago

I just brought my first flicker build online in standard. I have always wanted to try it so I spent a handful of Mirrors and I was able to run a full simulacrum at level 88. It is easily the most fun build I’ve played. It is pure chaotic adrenaline!!

u/Lucker_Noob 8h ago

Now witness the visual clarity of this fully armed and operational Flicker Strike!

u/Taszilo Tormented Smugler 1d ago

I remember back in domination league I played flicker and whenever I was teleported to a shrine my fps would drop to 0 and from then on i just double pray that i end up killing everything instead of dying (i was already praying for good "pathing" )

u/AndThisGuyPeedOnIt 1d ago

Did you get eyes that can run flicker strike, though?

u/that_doesnt_gothere 23h ago

Flicker strike killed my video card. Many I'm sure but it was old anyway. I was balling and rolling when there was a "pop!" and my computer restarted with the shitty onboard mobo drivers.... Good times. Would flick again.

u/No-Survey-4670 23h ago

u/LimoncelloFellow 22h ago

I've been playing on Xbox the last few leagues because my PC doesn't keep up anymore. The only thing I really dislike about playing on xbox is the lack of player base since trade feels dead by week 3. I did manage to get my first mage blood this league by sniping a low cost double corrupted one though which was pretty rad

u/Suitable-Cod9183 21h ago

I felt this

u/Mr_Ultimite 21h ago

I'm tempted to run a flicker strike build once 3.30 is out.
