Dude he's already one hellish defender with undexable specials, insane power gain (and by insane, I mean really insane!), and so much block damage. Imagine him on any node where u can't block his specials, or he has an unblockable buff or passive(in any general quest), what will u do? Forget that, remember the invade node, where block penetrations of both the attacker and defender are increased by 300%, how will I survive even a single special? Imagine him with those nodes and on top of that, power axis, or enhanced power gain/energize, will u even be able to hit him in between his specials? U guys saying that he will be getting counters so no need nerfing him have clearly not understood other player's POV. Don't get me wrong but I'm assuming 90% of those players are P2W players, so they can probably get that champion from opening couple of crystals or buying the early access bundles. If the quest node gives him immunity to power alteration(which is very common nowadays) or empyreal defense(if u don't know, this node is made to make 90% of mystic attackers useless), how will u counter him. Not always can u have a Kushala on your team, because the quest nodes moght be restricting, or maybe she might get banned in bgs, so what are u even supposed to do in long fights. The person who said that not every fight is supposed to be solo, either he's P2W, or he's having tons of expiring revives, or hasn't fought serpent much. In the boss island in aw, serpent takes the place of rich get richer, or enhanced power gain/buffet/masochism(power gain) or aspect of chaos(whatever the name is, where when defender gains a bar of power, they gain many boosts for rest of fight), extinction protocol(enhanced combat power rate for rest of the fight when gaining a bar of power), will u even survive throughout that fight. To the guy who said not every fight has to be a solo, enter a quest and play using unnecessary counters, and then complete the entire quest with 20 deaths, i am waiting here for your response on that topic. I haven't even mentioned other such nodes where he can be a nightmare. Before u even counter his power gain, he's already used 2 specials, which ain't no joke. So widen your thoughts and speak up for the entire community like I did. Whoever now comments that they are ready to get new counters rather than getting him nerfed, cheers, coz you aren't supposed to be here then. Kabam is 'happy' with his current state, but the only point is that it shall be us who should be happy with the game and its state, not them. Hope my argument has made the sense which some of us had probably lost.
Bans for BGs with those nodes , and common sense that kabam will introduce more champs that can block unblockable attacks and evade serpent specials , people is overreacting to a defender that requires skills to play against and forgetting that every month we got 2 new champions , those counters are definitely coming
Skill as in not being able to dex undexable specials? Not being able to deal with ridiculous power gain once he gets death immunity? Not being able to nuke him quickly under 50 seconds?
I don’t think that is a skill issue or aspect in fighting him
U can parry the specials ,that requires skill , You can save energy and the relic to keep him busy during the Immortality also requires skills Not being able to nuke him , so you want to nuke him in 30 seconds but you don't want to have a challenging fight , I call that skill issue
Y'all want boring defenders and busted attackers , never been so happy for kabam not caring about players opinions
What a horrible take. He’s a busted defender. He’s not like any of the others before him, and he’s the only one who can stall even his best counters so long. What if he doesn’t throw specials? He’ll still stall for 12 seconds guaranteed at the end. Lmao yeah totally a skill issue that no champ in the game can take him in a sufficient time. What a joke
Yeah y'all definitely want boring defenders, I hope kabam keep sending champs like serpent more and more so y'all can find new champs to hate , why y'all so worried about finishing him under a minute , should be focused on just staying healthy is not impossible y'all just lazy , why learn something new and get better at that if we can just complain until is nerfed .
No offense but I can tell you don’t play battlegrounds at even a semi-competitive level if you don’t see the issue with being unable to take down serpent in a minute consistently.
Ever heard about strategy? Or do you always places a defender that can get nuked in 30 seconds when you're opponent places serpent? Like you're talking about competitive gameplay but you seen clueless
This bot keeps talking about skills and competitive gameplay but forgets 80% of the people pushing for a nerf are also top BGs players who are probably better than him (two of them were in the tournament in Vancouver lmao).
So what? New challenge there are multiple work arounds and its same for everyone.
And if we really are going by skill, then let's bring MSD in the chat as well, haven't seen him complaining?
There is always a higher skill ceiling.
What work arounds? Pausing at 1% or straight up permabanning him like last season? Cause those were the only work arounds that worked consistently, if you weren't playing in Gold 3 you probably would've known this.
MSD never grinds BGs like Trappy Lagacy Nagase or any of the other top BGs players asking for the nerf, you really don't know what you're talking about lmao.
Buddy I am valiant and I always reach gladiator circuit. This season also I started in diamond. Still doesn't justify a nerf, it's same for everyone. Since when did this become about a defender has to get nuked else it's not justified and needs a nerf. BG is not the only node.
