Really hoping next month is a good one.
No. A skill.
Maybe science or tech.
Cosmic, maybe cosmic.
Mutant?
Definitely one of those.
As for his buff. Im thinking a mechanic that boosts damage when he uses his evade for projectiles. Maybe after using his evade for projectiles he hones his senses more acutely, allowing for guaranteed crits for X seconds. I don’t think any mechanics here should be linked to utility, since not all champions have projectile specials you can evade, making him potentially too situational. It should be a nice damage boost to utilise, but not rely on.
He could also do with a general damage bump, in line with DDHK you could use the righteous wrath passive for that. Let DD classic proc it after intercepting to encourage skilled play (he’s a skilled fighter after all). Another way to boost damage, using furies or cruelty buff/passives would be needed.
For a utility bump he’d need something to bring him in line with other skill champs. You could go the DAAR, debuff shrug off, evade counter route, the classic skill abilities. Or you could throw some lengthy unblockable attacks for countering autoblock/getting openings. Another option is to use cleanse, which is a great new skill mechanic.
Daredevil’s sensory abilities could easily be used to give him an evade counter, sensing when the opponent will evade.
Or something new could be tried. Daredevil is a notably resilient fighter, and a mechanic that used that could be quite cool. I’m thinking that throughout the fight, daredevil could build up a resilience gauge which goes up to 100%. This gauge makes non-damaging debuffs X% less effective. So debuffs like weakness will reduce attack by less, fatigue reduces crit rate by less, power drain will drain less power, a power sting will do less damage, disorient won’t reduce your block proficiency by as much etc. And at 100%, these debuffs will essentially be rage debuffs with no effect allowing you to heal from willpower.
At 100%, you could also give a nice damage boost to encourage going to 100.
Non damaging debuffs like stun and heal block which have binary effects (stunned or not stunned) won’t be affected by this gauge. And there could be a DOT added in as a line on his sig ability too, bleed debuffs do less damage with the gauge or something.
The gauge itself could be increased by anything really, intercepts, stunning opponent, hitting opponent, whatever worked.
I’m really excited for a DD classic buff, I have a sig 176 6* I’m working on R3ing because he’s cool. But he definitely does need a buff, he just doesn’t have the damage to keep up nowadays and even if he did, I’m not sure his utility is there either
game bugs
Communication problems
silence always
all that tired me and wanted to defintively stop playing
It's pretty clear that they will tell us who is getting buffed when they decide to.
I always hope that one of the champs is someone I want to get a buff, but honestly I didn’t care about Diablo and now I love him so I kind of have an open mind.
I just want the buffs. Every month is like Kabam Christmas
