Honestly, this guy has even more unavoidable damage than Photon + an extremely annoying evade that will be triggering throughout the fight and if you don't have a counter you literally just have to sit there and wait it out.
It's truly laughable that some people think he's "not that hard" like guys I promise you, I can one shot him with my r3 7* Bishop in EQ in 30 secs too because of the nodes but I don't think you've realized that in a BGs scenario, that won't be the case 🤣 he could be just as much of a problem as Maestro.
At the moment, there are only two mutant hard counters who can shut him down 100% and that's Iceman and Kitty (and this assuming you're a great Kitty player cause it's still a tricky fight). Anyways yeah, can't wait to see all the complaints when people start pulling him and adding him to their decks, it's going to be absolutely hilarious.
Ps. I don't think he needs a nerf either btw, I'm just saying people are underestimating him waaay too much on this thread.
What happened is I got really good at fighting Korg. Just like I had to learn how to fight him when IMIW got placed consistently on The One Node in war. Or when I had to learn how to fight Quicksilver, or AbsMan, or Mystic Spiderman, or Photon.
We all have to face the same defenders. If Celestial players are saying Bullseye is a super tough defender that’s fine: I believe them. If they are saying he’s so tough they are actually afraid of him, which I doubt, that’s even better because that just means if I get one I’ll be getting wins against those players.
But I doubt there’s a lot of Celestials asking for him to be nerfed, and I’d be very disappointed if I turn out to be overestimating their competitive instincts.
As for hard counters, yes he will get hard counters eventually, that's how the game works. I'm just saying, don't sleep on him cause he's going to be a very problematic defender in BGs until that happens.
I went a lot more into detail in my comment above but I'll just put it this way to make it simple: if you have evade counter but no bleed immunity you will take unavoidable bleed damage and probably lose the round due to health, if you have bleed immunity but no evade counter you'll have to wait out his evade every single time it procs and probably lose due to time. You need both.
Now, do I think he needs a nerf? Absolutely not, I've been wanting strong challenging defenders in the game for a very long time because at this point I'm sick of Korg and Domino lol. All I'm saying here is don't underestimate him cause we're looking at the next big defender who's imo going to dethrone Photon, people just haven't let it sink in yet but they will soon enough.
Evade counter
I posted that he’s tough and you need a counter (used Photon and Onslaught as examples). Someone proceeds to tell me that there are lots of counters, one of which doesn’t even work… lol
This dude claims BE is easy and his proof is TB EQ… why don’t you chastise him for his condescension earlier?
Why are you having so much trouble?
The overwhelming portion of people who bought this champs pre-release bought it for BG defense.
Using TB EQ (for players who are Valiant) is just a bad argument so stop defending it.
In PvE content he’s going to be beatable because in PvE content everything is balanced to allow moderate skill players with strong rosters to beat it. In competitive environments I’m not competing against Bullseye, I’m competing against some other player, and we both have to overcome the same challenges Bullseye presents. Even if Bullseye was ten times harder to fight, the competitive situation would still be the same. Even if he was a million times harder to fight, the competitive situation would still be the same.
The question is not is Bullseye difficult to fight. The question is does he present an unfair challenge to players. And at the moment, there’s nothing I see that would make me believe he is an unfair challenge. Here's a 4* that has no way to counter Bullseye's evade and is not bleed immune defeating 7* Bullseye in 21 seconds with 86% health remaining..
It was honestly the first option I thought of, because no matter what sort of offensive firepower you're packing, if you aren't immune to bleed or poison, there's at least one champ that is going to take your head off.
Sure, that option isn't always going to be available in every BG meta, but I don't offer it up to show Bullseye is an easy defender with easy counters, or even that I'm a particularly good Bullseye fighter. Rather, I offer it to show that Bullseye is just like IMIW or Korg in that people tend to tunnel vision on "perfect counters" and thinking that only perfect counters will do. Just because Bullseye's specials are difficult to evade, doesn't mean players can't learn to evade them like Korg's special 1. I even managed to block the first few hits of his special then evade the last chunky hit, and I haven't really fought him all that many times. And just because he deals "unavoidable damage" doesn't mean that's the end of the world. And just because he has an evade mechanic doesn't mean you need an evade counter.
Every champ has weaknesses, and while Bullseye looks to be very dangerous if you don't know what they are, that doesn't mean they don't exist or that players won't eventually find them and mitigate his threats. That doesn't mean Bullseye is, or ever will be an easy defender. Korg still gets kills. IMIW still gets kills. But we adapt and move on. It is noteworthy to say he's a tough defender. And maybe players are a bit cocky when they say there's lots of ways to beat him. But history shows that sort of cockiness tends to end up winning in this game. Some individual players get cocky and live to regret it. But the cockiness of the playerbase as a whole is not something I find to be problematic in this case. It is that cockiness that eventually overcomes all the difficult things in the game.
