I have a 5* sig200 only rank2.. maybe rank up is in order
if I like him enough I think I’ll still commit my meager five star sigs into him
Hawkeye's main use was to play with making enemies do as less specials at all, in the hands of a good player you could have played in a way enemy never throws a special. bye bye to that.
"Hey this guy has synergies so we are not gonna add it it base" sounds like a bad excuse here. His synergy with tigra could have been moved to base kit . Only added benefit here is slow and bleed damage. Kabam clearly didnt learn from Guillotine buff backlash. The tigra poisons does not benefit from his base kit whatsoever, nor from deep wounds.
There is at least 10 great hawkeye buff ideas submitted by players in forum and kabam could ve picked a few of them and we would have had a better champion but no. Against bleed immune he may as well be a potato. If he could trigger shock against bleed immune champs that be something. No anti miss mechanic for the best marksman in Marvel? Really?
Hawkeye was one of those champs in a class who did something most champs in class didnt do. Control. He had so much potential and is now another one trick pony. Useless versus non bleeders .
Assume you have one champ in quest who he cannot bleed and now you want to switch to poisons and bring tigra. He will be significantly worse vs everyone else in path. This could ve easily circumvented by giving him a pre fight arrow selection. Or if he triggered shock vs bleed immune champs.
All in all this seems the bare minimum they could have been done to a champion buff that has been requested for over 6 years. You could have slapped this on BPCW, Elektra and called it an elektra buff. This is not a hawkeye buff. I doubt there is much hope for og avengers to be decent from this info.
This is another "Oooh Damage" buffs. And an extremely missed opportunity to show kabam's creative side. The mechanics already exist in game to do this.
If you need more time take it, take more time that stick to 2 champ buffs a month or dont feel obliged to deliver buffs same day the patch gors through. We can wait, as long as you deliver good content we are ready to wait, pay and play. Please stop taking the easy way out.
PS: Saw a tweet saying people just want all buffs to be magneto or ultron.
Ultron has been bugged for months and magneto can easily be countered by 1-2 basic of basics of nodes in game.
Not all champs has to be game breakers but they should bring something thay makes a difference, unique to the character that has use within game universe at present and not unique for name sake. A buff in 2021 Nov should not look like it was cooked up in 2017-18
Regarding his damage, you said that most of it is locked behind his sig ability and that is not true. Each basic attack will be able to pause the bleeds for 1 second, which is more damage in the long run, and most likely we will be able to maintain those bleeds for the whole fight. You say against bleed immunes he's a potato, and yet, that's the case for other skill champions. Nick Fury's damage output is significantly reduced is the opponent can't be bled, but no one says he's bad.
And the best thing to me is that he seems like he will be really fun to play. I will reserve my final judgment for when the buff goes live, and if it turns out to be as bas as you say, I will eat my words. But I think you're being too quick to dismiss it.
Should leave sp1 as is and focus the buff elsewhere
He can do a lot. How effective it will be determined when the buff is live.
Question on the SP2: why is it called incendiary when there’s no incinerate? What’s the deal there?
Incendiary definition - (of a device or attack) designed to cause fires.
?
I’m choosing to be optimistic and have taken mine to R2, I liked him a lot already. I just wish they had added in another DOT mechanic so that he had some way to deal with bleed immunes (again, huge amount of feedback asking for this). He doesn’t have to be the best character in the game versus bleed immune characters but it would be nice if he was still effective against them instead of being effectively nerfed when bleed isn’t an option.
They need to change that.
If you don't see a crit bleed say half the time Hawkeye may be a worse champ than he currently is. The trade off seemed to be a lesser power control in exchange for significantly more damage, but that seems to be tied to landing crit bleeds and needing a longer fight duration to build up things like the fragility to enhance them. If it ends up being the case you land a crit bleed one of out every four or five specials then you're doing potentially less damage to go with lesser power control and what exactly? He's still a power drain and bleed champion only both of those are weaker unless RNG is in your favor, am I seeing that correctly or am I missing something? Pausing the bleeds is awesome, but only if the potency is up to par to be worthwhile. On further evaluation I went from really stoked to somewhat worried, I really hope it's what I first envisioned.
