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.

Yelena is for NOW!!! She will fall off so hard lol. However, she'll still be relevant on AW and endgame content defense simply because you'd have to deal with the reversal but for BGs as soon as they start releasing more mutants with daunted, she'll die just like that because there's barely anything you have to play around with her. Her biggest threat is that damage cap which (FOR BGS) can be avoidable by giving a mutant good damage and daunted. I haven't read her kit but from the deep dive I saw her combo meter going down as well so it seems Cassandra even has a way of stopping combos.

Bullseye on the other hand is still wrecking and with power gain metas, she's alot more of an issue. Maybe my opinion will change once I get ntw and other Bullseye counters but for now, im still scared of him.

I think you hit the nail on the head, i suspect Yelena will eventually undergo the Peni Parker effect where people took her out of decks cause of how prevalent Galan, Hulkling were. Given her kit, a lot of the new release or rework mutants will have daunted or a way of dealing with the reversal thing. They already released Casandra so its just a matter of time. Plus Her offensive use is very limited too (worse than ****)
