The issue with Bullseye is that to give him more attack in rebalancing (which he needs) would make him an even harder defender, so they would need to make him less difficult on defense as well. Not sure anyone would be happy with that.
I say leave him as he is.
Like several others on the thread pointed out, it is already a given that investing in champs ahead of their balancing is always a risk. However, this is more prevalent in the case of Bullseye because of how “hot” of a subject he is as a defender at
the moment.
One great form of advice I can lend you is before you comment , try to actually consider the argument of the other side before you just squabble some nonsense. I’m not sure how you missed it in this case given that multiple others also commented on the risks of investing prematurely.
He loses the instant bleed damage, but he effectively counters a lot of Photon's defensive mechanics pretty effortlessly.
He isn't a perfect counter like Mantis / Zemo / Crossbones, but he's very solid against her.
Yes, the stronger a champion is at release, the more likely they are to get rebalanced downward. That of course is obvious. But conversely, the weaker a champion is at release, the less you actually gain from investing in them in the first place. So it is unclear to me that the overall risk/reward for Bullseye is worse than it is for other champs.
Whats everyones thoughts on that? He does have a very tiny healthpool so in terms of fight duration, the r5 or ascended r5 wouldn't make too much of a difference.
In completely unbalanced BG match ups this won't matter much. But in tighter ones, it could matter. Bullseye isn't guaranteed to be an auto win, if your opponent places other tough defenders in the same round (or if they place a stronger one than you do). In those kinds of matches, the extra rank could make a difference. How often that would be, I'm not sure.
If your strategy is ban him unless they don't have him, and then place him whenever you can, R4 will get you some wins. R5 will get you more wins, but maybe not a lot more, until you get into higher competitive tiers of BG.
But given you're saying he is, I believe it.
I did see your response down below so hats off to you, I'm gonna do some practicing against her.
However, I don't really agree with people who say that they should hold off because "he'll just get a hard counter". Yes, that's a fairly reasonable assumption to make. Down the line, someone will come along and be able to tackle him into the ground. But I do think it's worth pointing out that those champs don't come immediately. Taking the Peni example, it took almost a year for Hulkling to come out after her (I think it was ten months), and then Galan a couple of months after that. Gorr came out between them but had to go through his own rebalancing phase before becoming the great Peni counter he is today.
Kabam won't release a hard Bullseye counter anytime soon. If the fear of him becoming obsolete is what's holding you back from investing in him, I wouldn't worry about it.
