Bullseye or Yelena Belova?

Who is the better defender? Who is the better attacker? Why?

Polygon

Depends on if we're looking at the present moment then Yelena since Bullseye has a ton of counters.

But if both were released at the same time I think Bullseye would win in a landslide easily

Yelena is the better defender but bullseye is still super valuable. The last few metas (including this one) he’s one of the best champs

I think Bullseye is probably the better attacker cause he has a lot of safety built in and he’s come in clutch for a lot of endgame stuff. Idk how good Yelena will end up being tbh

Bullseye better attacker Yelena better defender but these past few seasons have been nodes that benefit bullseye alot like power gain, high block damage, and stuff like that.

Well I still haven’t relaly done the research on how to deal with Yelena’s weird counter so for now I will put her as more difficult

I see people using Mr Sinister and Onslaught as the best counters

Those nodes do benefit Yelena as well, as she can crit through block

Me personally I'd say bullseye is better. Yelena is the better defender, not by much but still better. Bullseye is a better attack by a mile though. More damage, more utility, a safety net feature and he is more usable on bgs attack. If you are looking solely for a defender Yelena is the play, if not bullseye.

Bullseye is easily the better attacker. Not only does he get guaranteed crits and instant bleeds, his basics straight up can't miss and he can counter evade with true strike from his sp1. That's as close to full utility out of the box as one can get.

Yelena on the other hand, needs a 100 combo + sp2 to get into elim mode to get to her guaranteed crits, instant bleeds, and miss/evade counter. You get them until your combo runs out, then you build up to 100 again and so on. There is literally nothing going on offensively with her during that build up to elim mode. It takes 5 heavy attacks to get there, so no miss/evade counter or guaranteed crits till then.

I don't really see the point in using her offensively over bullseye.

Bullseye is actually the only character who can reliably counter evade, autoblock and miss, without AAR.

The only one closest is Serpent (True focus counters evade and miss, and can bypass autoblock with Unblockable specials)
