Fix Gentle

The recoil thing is an interesting idea but ultimately sucks, during rebalanced just drop it, keep the light combo ender for an increased rupture. It isn't like the sp2 damage is so strong that it needs a drawback. Listen to people like msd and fix it, thanks.

It's lore accurate, the whole reason he's always meditating and is literally called GENTLE, is because using his powers causes him pain, the amount of pain is proportional to the amount of strength he uses. He's really strong but using his full power for long durations could LITERALLY KILL HIM.
Plus it's not like you can't mitigate it, so if you don't like it like a lot of people just move on. There's literally hundreds of other characters

except, it’s not anymore. jean grey worked with him and discovered that the pain he experienced had nothing to do with his powers. in their therapy sessions, jean discovered that his pain was the result of psychological blocks he placed on himself (resulting from the abuse he would suffer at the hands of his mother whenever he manifested his mutation). jean removed those blocks in an effort to help him reach his full potential; so, he no longer experiences any pain when using his abilities.

It's only 2.5% damage at max sig, it's an intentional part of his kit and there are ways around it if you don't want to deal with it. It's not getting fixed because it's an intentional design

And in the comics kitty pryde goes by Kate, but the version we have is from before then. Lore accuracy isn't the be all end all

Kabam changed Black Bolt when his sp2 used to do damage to him, now they released Gentle, make it make sense

Same Leader and Nefa release situation once again,

Where a hero marketed to do a specific job gets out shadowed by other hero released on same day who do the job better.

You're saying that in the comics he no longer feels pain when attacking so he shouldn't in game, but the games character isn't based on the most up to date version clearly

Gentle has ways to mitigate the damage but a lot

captain_rogers

Atleast give us ways to regenerate the damage lol.

BringPopcorn

Maybe he is so Gentle to the defender that it ends hurting himself....

Lokx

In my opinion, he doesn't need the recoil damage to be removed since you can just not trigger it, what they need to do is increase the pay off by increasing damage overall or on the burst.

not once did I say anything about changing him. i just pointed out that he doesn’t have the “pain when he uses his mutation” handicap anymore.

Oh nice I didn't know that, I guess this is the version of gentle before he was healed

The problem is that his fully boosted damage isn't great enough to deserve a drawback. It isn't like it is some top tier sp2 damage. It would make sense to have the recoil if so but it just isn't that special at all, especially compared to other recent mutants.

Potatoslice500

It's only 2.5% damage at max sig, it's an intentional part of his kit and there are ways around it if you don't want to deal with it. It's not getting fixed because it's an intentional design

Then boost the sp2 damage at full charges bc it just doesn't justify the recoil

Potatoslice500

Yes some sort of regen would also work, even if on the sp3

Potatoslice500

I would agree w this, the damage doesn't justify the recoil. Not even close.

Vanitelia

Maybe if JG comes to MCOC, she'll have a synergy that mitigates it. Maybe this version of Gentle came from another timeline and never came across JG. At the end of the day, it's a game. Still a pretty cool champ.

What's the point of a risk reward character that already allows you to mitigate 75% of the risk if you can just regen

I mean the other champ I could think of that has self damage mechanics is ihulk, and he has great regen to compensate that.

In response to someone stating why he has the recoil you say that he doesn't actually have that reasoning anymore. I'm merely saying that

I mean the other champ I could think of that has self damage mechanics is ihulk, and he has great regen to compensate that.

Because he was designed around regenerating and also deals much more damage to himself. Losing 2.5% health per sp2 for essentially double damage is only an issue in super tight bg matches.

The compensation for dealing damage to himself is that he's much more suicide friendly than a lot of characters and can reduce the damage he would take by a massive percentage

Okoye being faster and losing less health to bullseye is comical

Reminds me when they released Negasonic to counter him only for 30 different champs to outspeed her

It's lore accurate

You really wanna say "lore accurate" in this game 😂😂

MaxAHR

Lore accurate? Lol. Get a life or get out from this post man. Gentle is not a good champ. He needs a rebalance. What's the point of going after him?!
