Yelena, bullseye has too many counters now

I feel like a lot of the counters aren't as prominent like Gentle is kinda mid for most matches, Dazzler needs high sig , negasonic is slow, sinister is slow.

Plus the BGs nodes usually cut his counters even more

But all of them have one thing in common, it's an easy fight with full health bar. Time is pretty much irrelevant these days unless you play in Mysterium and above where everyone does every fight with full health 90% of the time and it really does come down to speed. I usually place in Quantum and I still use NTW Sinister and Gentle against him pretty much all the time and still win here and there.

Also, those aren't the only Bullseye counters, there are other options you can use like Onslaught Bastion Cyclops Okoye Odin HM and Nova who can also do it although they do take a little bit more block damage than the first ones you mentioned and they're also a bit harder to use. Whole point tho is Bullseye has a lot of counters these days, Yelena not so much, the only reliable ones are DPX Jean Onslaught Gentle Cassandra and Sinister that's it.

Yeah i definitely agree with everything youre saying, but one thing ive noticed is the metas can cut the number of counters/options in half . For example power gain screws up some of them like sparky or dazzler

Power gain also automatically makes Yelena worse than Bullseye tho, and while it doesn't fully cut the options in half, the more sp1s she throws the more likely you are to screw up and the longer it takes to take her out cause her sp1 is already very long and gets you cornered very fast if she's spamming it back to back. Not to mention, any meta with stun immunity or purify makes her way worse than Bullseye, I'm not denying Bullseye still has some power but Yelena is way more restrictive.

This is straight up wrong, Bullseye is a lot worse with power gain than Yelena. Nobody in mysterium+ you speak of struggle with dexing Yelena's specials, especially her sp1 meanwhile even the most experienced players can't consistently dex Bullseye sp1 and often times they'd just block it instead of trying to dex which results in quite a bit of damage unless you counter crit damage and bleed.

Also despite having more counters Bullseye is harder to have a clean fight against most of the time. Jean, Onslaught, DPX, Sinister are just some examples against Yelena where you literally can't mess up and your favorite celestial streamer will always finish with %90-100. Bullseye on the other hand has Sinister, Kushala and maybe some of the new champions idk much about like Gentle and Jean. Dazzler, Cyclops, NTW, Onslaught etc. are all a lot more likely to mess up in most metas and its never as free with them. Not to mention the fact that Bullseye is 10 times more punishing than Yelena.

Overall Bullseye is a lot trickier even against his counters whereas Yelena gets shut down completely with little room for mistakes a lot more often. Its true that Bullseye has a lot more counters but how relevant those counters are is another point to consider. The fact that Odin counters him for example is just a statistic and nothing else.
