My issue isnt even the "buff". Its his kit to begin with. He's basically created to kill Photon. Problem is he's not good against the science class in general. He puts debuffs on himself but doesnt remove debuffs which is a no no for some science champs bc they benefit from you having debuffs on said champ. Hes not good against the mystic class in general bc he still gains buffs. Throw mutant out of course. This is the issue with these super restrictive defenders. We need tough defenders but with the game going in the direction of needing a hard counter for these newer defenders to have success, the new attackers/counters that come later can sometimes end up being a good counter for that champ and not necessarily good in other places in general. Some are but this is how we end up with a Patriot or Falcon Joaquin. Im not ranking up Patriot up just to kill Photon and not really have use for him anywhere else. Wish he had more utility like an anti evade mechanism of some sort. Just my opinion. Everyone is respectfully entitled to theirs.

I re-read his kit today before I took my sig 60 Patriot for a spin, and it really is ridiculous how directly it matches Photon. Seems like a joke almost. Vigilance if you parry, steadfast for unblockable specials, can’t reduce his regen, applies weakness to the opponent to reduce block damage, etc etc. I really don’t know if DLL designed him over a weekend or what.

And the whole reversal mechanic still seems like it’s supposed to be some kind of big deal, but it’s just a gimmick. All I want is to gain the fury and precision so I can do some real damage. But to do it I have to back off, charge a heavy, hope the AI cooperates, and then after they get back up, you have to get another opening to actually use those juicy buffs.

The situation has been unbearable and unsustainable.
Not only are there modders, who only get banned if they're extremely stupid and have no idea about the game and are unlucky enough to face a CCP or a Kabam employee, Battlegrounds is overrun with piloted players.
Among Celestial 5-6, which corresponds to 250 players, I know about 15 who are piloted. I know them because I know who plays on those accounts. That's 5%. Detail: I know them because the pilots are Brazilian, and I'm Brazilian, so I know who they are and which accounts they play on.
Imagine how many other accounts are piloted by mercs from other countries. Talking to some mercs, there are reports of mercs taking 4-5 accounts per season to put on Celestial.
And it's unbelievable that nothing is done. What's your problem with issuing permanent bans? I don't even need to mention those who use softmods. Apparently, this game has completely lost the ability to automatically ban, so only those who are reported for some extremely absurd fight are banned, and even then, it sometimes takes a while. There's someone on Celestial using cheats completely blatantly, the season ends today, and he's still there.
Will he be banned at the end? What does it matter? They'll ban him after he harmed dozens of people throughout the season.
I get the feeling you're wasting too much time on nonsense. Nobody wanted/needed this game on their computer, nobody asked for it. I can only imagine how much it cost in terms of money and time to make this.
This alternative game mode is just another nonsense.
Why don't you just invest all your effort into solving the cheating problem? There should be at least one person whose job is to just ban, all day long. Reporting doesn't do anything at all; you report and get an automated message, and nothing happens.
