Why does Jubilee change stance every hit? Such a bad design

Dear Kabam,

Forget the damage utility etc. Even the way she is changing stance on every hit by it self makes this champion soo frustrating to play.

This design is beyond me, if I want o release sp2 in orange surge I have to stop mid combo one additional hit and the whole rotation is screwed.

Why is she so complicated for nothing great that she offers.

If anything, it makes it easier to be in the stance you want to be while throwing a special. Imagine having to throw two heavy attacks and going to the wrong special attack

It's only easier if you compare it to an even worse option

Can you suggest a better/easier option?

If you want to activate Hercules's Infuriate you have to stop mid combo, one additional hit and you don't inflict Infuriate.

Such a bad design. Unplayable. Uninstalling.

Right? Same with OGBP gaining Panthers Might charges. This game is ridiculous, what a terrible design by kascam

Some champions are over complicated for the sake of it. Give me a simple champion like Magik power lock

Don't forget Ronin.

It's not the worst thing about Jubes.

The more complex the gameplay, the more likely it is to interact with some node somewhere. Generally not in your favor.

I'm of strong mind that any champion that's harder/restrictive to play should also be more rewarding. It's like enduring extra stress for similar (or lesser) effects. Not a logical choice if one can avoid it.

Iron Cent is another recent example. He's got a lot of great stuff in his kit, but his optimal(/intended) playstyle is hectic, risky, and doesn't have major benefits over other more relaxed champions.

-- ahh, just read some of the other posts. Well, not bad to reiterate.

Well with all inputs issue and everything its really hard to play to the tee, so many times I tried to go mid combo into specials but got destroyed because of input dropping. .

Jubilee was released before input drops and all these in-game issues become widespread and more frequent. How is Kabam supposed to keep a future unknown bug in mind while designing a champ way more than 6 months earlier?

Ronin's stances.
Which stance do I need? Third one
That means 3 light hits, dash back, done

Jubilee has like 2 or 3 more steps than this. Why repeat the horrible, awful, no-good mess of Diablo's original Kit, when you could make it like Ronin, which is the same thing except it doesn't suck.

While easy to remember, people would then complain about repeat mechanics. I can only guess how difficult it is to come up with new mechanics that work and feel good to play

Or starlord!! Just don’t suck and bam 100k combos. What happen to all the champs you could use in a primitive game back in 2015. Make mcoc great again. I’m tired of needing to do a doom rotation or double rotation just to get good damage. Ugh…………..

What are you proposing, hiring Trump as kabam's lead designer? "My hit-monkey design is one of the best designs, maybe ever, obviously better than Obama's designs..."

Seriously bleeping out T r u m p

I agree with OP. I have her as a 6*, but Will likely never use her simply because of her ridiculous cycle

IronGladiator22

Ugh. Why does Aegon have to hit the opponent a certain amount of times to become really good? Stupid design, unplayable champ.

Lpoo

Her play-style is not worth it to learn. My 6* will collect cobwebs, and that is all
