In six months or so, we will find out what they truly think of Blade -- once he gets in the Basic pool and more people get him, you are right: If he tilts the game to where his metrics are out of whack, they will nerf it.
Some people forget DS was actually nerfed twice. OG DS was basically unstoppable. Red Deadpool was unkillable at one juncture of the game, but he wouldn't be now with things like heal block...pre-12.0 SW was definitely a cheat code.
I don't know. Blade is a very good character. We will find out if Kabam thinks he is OP in a few months
Power control anyone ?
That’s a pretty huge lack in this game.
Those arguments are weak. Thor was useless against stun immune nodes, safeguard nodes as well. You needed skill to get the armour breaks and you needs a short parry time which affected the other champs on your team.
SW couldn’t stun lock a stun immune champ either, have you tried her VS a Mordo?
DS needed skill to be good, he also has his weaknesses. He is no different than the power gain king that is now Hyperion, who also has regen, hits 20 times harder and can also spam SP1 over and over.
Some of the champs these days have much more OP abilities and there are enough new nodes to prevent them from walking over content like they once did.
Exactly my point. They all have weaknesses. The old and the new. How do you think DS would go against dorm? He would get smashed by degen with all those buffs. The old system yes, but they changed all that. They wouldn’t be OP in the current game if their former abilities were returned to them.
You keep thinking that lol. Just give me a pre-nerf SW and I'll smash through 5.4 with just her and a crit team
Oh really? How would you go on the bleed and poison paths? Or debuff immune paths?
Prior to these champs getting nerfed we didn't have things like stun immune nodes or safeguard. Nodes didn't exist. So there is that.....
They'll wait until his second run in the feature 5 star crystals though. Lol
She had one of the best regens in the game. Easily outlast anything thrown at her. I have mine maxed fully and only see her regen like once a week in War. Before it happened all the time. Beat the RoL with only her and 1 revive. Messed up fighting myself. They nerfed her cause she would have destroyed the LOL. Same with DS.
False. He can bait them with ease with Taunt. Or he can drop a big power drain with his heavy. Or he can fire off a special 3 and disrupt their ability accuracy with Ensnare for 30 seconds.
Just because in other fights you might use Spark to evade a bunch to build charges doesn't mean you have to approach every fight the same. Spark is very well equipped for fights against defenders with 5/5 MD.
After that maybe Thor. In the right hands his old damage was off the charts - 5 armor breaks - fuggedaboutit. But that took a lot of skill and luck to achieve. I've seen other newer champs like Morningstar do similarly crazy stuff lately. At any rate, I understand them tweaking him but his first nerfed version was just absolutely horrible. The re-buff made a big difference but he's not better than Hyperion and he is weak sauce against stun immune. I see no reason he cannot be in the 5 star pool.
What happened to DS was just wrong - plain and simple. They could've made him weaker. They didn't have to make him hot garbage. Not that I even care but why is he not in the 5 star pool now?
BW still has her uses but she's another one who was overcorrected. Like DS, they took away and gave nothing back. She's totally niche and for what she does you have a lot of better options these days.
Bleed nodes can be easily overcome with SW (and I speak this from experience. I've cleared bleed nodes with SW and DS and ended fight at full health). Didn't attempt poison nodes but pretty sure it would've been the same case. As for debuff immune—it doesn't matter with SW. You could just keep blocking and hitting opponent during openings and kill them. She would regen back all the block damage and buff herself enough to finish opponent in 1-2 L2s
I was referring to the comment about clearing act 5 with just her and a crit team. I guarantee a 4* 5/50 would die real quick on poison and bleed nodes when the oppents have 7+K attack. Not talking about about running through a bleed node in master mode of the monthly quest lol
Many champs can clear ROL easily. Not sure what that has to do with anything.
They had a node called “dulled” in LOL, which basically made her useless in there. And DS would struggle to do any damage in LOL, cant see him destroying anyone in LOL, especially since he will have such a short enrage timer.
So again, the could have created nodes that prevented these champs from walking through content, didn’t need to nerf them to the ground.
this isn't true at all.
i don't think you understand how strong SW was. it wasn't uncommon to have 5-7 regen stacks at any given time.
I am fully aware thanks. She would have died quickly.
And they could add a heal block to that node. Done, she’s useless. Or dulled node, or many others that could make her not so OP.
Nerfing champs is never the answer
The dulled node was implemented after first few guys rolled over paths with SW. As was limber
