The abilities that it multiplies is listed in each of his States. I'm trying to see if we can get this clarified for a future release.
For example, under Overpowering Light, it reads: 30% chance on entering this State, Sentry's Special 1 Attack Damage is increased by 842.8 per Reality Warp and is Unblockable.
In this State, it's his Special 1 damage that is increased depending on how many Reality Warps he has on him at the time.
I just wonder if any of them have even used him? Already weak charecter and even after 400+ plus hit combo his hits are still beyond weak not just weak. I mean even youtubers of the game say he’s trash
Kabam doesn't know that. Kabam looks like most MMO companies I've seen: their definition of performance is strictly datamining-based. Sentry will be considered underpowered or underperforming if they see underperformance in their overall game datamining. Sentry hasn't existed long enough for that data to exist.
This is problematic for a lot of reasons, but it is also extremely commonplace.
Of all the issues with Sentry, this is a silly nit pick. Only an unreasonable person would choose to interpret "Reality Warps are used as a multiplier for his abilities" to mean that every single ability would have such a modifier. The character description details what that multiplier means.
Lol.. I knew what they meant. But to play devils advocate it wasn't very clear.
Btw if it takes kabam 12, or whatever, months of data mining to determine Sentry sucks we are in worse shape than I thought. With all the feed back all it takes is for one of their employees to play the game while relaxing in one of those fancy nap bed at work to figure it out. No doubt lots of work is done looking at spreadsheets but don't make excuses because of lack of data. They all have phones or tablets.
And the reality warps.. 40 hits for one. This should be brought down. That's all he needs really. But of course they won't listen. They never do.
Miike et al are pretty confident in the champ they released, and they may eventually be proven right for sticking to their guns. I personally hope the synergy barely does anything as I don't want a champ to need another champ to be at par with the rest. Again, a champ should stand on its own--synergies are just to better them
Now, I just want Kabam to admit that Sentry is underwhelming and what they thought the community would say other than he sucks. Would also love to see more transparency regarding the design process.
Is this now the way champions will be designed. Only work with other Champions an depending on the user to use items?
Also, why Kabam is creating on purpose mediocre champs? This is what Miike confirmed in his post "not all Champs can be as good as others"?
Also with the abilities actived the damage is ridiculous....
Would've loved to see it crit.
There is no vendetta on Void. There's also nothing that says both have to be OP. I can see people aren't happy with Sentry, but there's also the fact that his complexity would make a Champ that is too powerful if any small part is altered too much. I've seen the videos. I know what people are referencing. He's complex. He has carry-over. His Damage is on the low side, yes. If you add the Void Synergy to that, it supposedly increases. What would happen if they amped him up too much and then added that Synergy? I get people are frustrated. I'm just pointing out that we have to look at the design overall to understand the logic behind it. Not so much the Bio or Comics. Balancing a Champ goes beyond that. Besides, we don't have to have over 100 OP Champs. Then they wouldn't be OP. They'd just be equal strengths of varying Abilities, and that would be incredibly boring and arduous to design.
You're on point my man but he depends on his modes/states of mind to deal insane damage. But those modes have to activate one by one the more you hit the opponent, and 30%.. Doesn't activate much.. That's why I think they should increase the % and he'll be alright.
Think of it like Ghostrider's Judgements.. If they all had 30% chance to proc. He'd be serious trash.
So, he's been out for 5, going on 6 days now and lots of players have tried him in almost every aspect of the game and found him sub par. I'm just curious, how much data do you think needs to be collect ? A week, a month, a year?
That's all well and good, but if they aren't good enough champs to make it to multiple fights then it's kinda pointless.
