GENTLE - HOW TO DESTROY A CHAMPS POTENTIAL WITH 1 BAD MECHANIC!

The last thing a Bullseye counter needs is a mechanic that inflicts self-damage. What’s the point in being able to counter bullseye’s evade or bleed if you still lose 10% - 2% Health anyway if you play perfectly. This will happen against any defender that you fight with gentle, as long as you want max damage output. This will be a nightmare in battlegrounds because losing 10% health will lose you many matches over time… even the 2% health loss will cost you a win now and again. This mechanic basically punishes the player for playing well and going for max damage output… how satisfying is that right?! There’s nothing more satisfying then throwing a fully ramped SP2 and seeing your healthbar drop down. 👍🏽
Gentle is a 20% revives worst nightmare… throw 2 specials for max damage output and you’re KO’d without the defender even damaging you.
Gentle’s signature ability reduces the 10% health loss down to 2% at max sig. So basically… you gave Gentle a weakness that has no valid reason for even existing… and then making players have to invest sig stones into him, just to take away only 80% of this weakness… 🤕 what a waste of a signature ability.
MSD made a video that shows that Okoye is capable of being a better Bullseye counter than Gentle… who was made to be a Bullseye counter 💀 Okoye can counter bullseye’s evade without losing 10% health for playing her the right way. Okoye wasn’t even created to be a niche counter to bullseye like Gentle was… 🤦🏽♂️
These niche champions that are made to counter 1 champion out of 200+ is getting ridiculous. Gentle & Patriot seem to be in the same boat. Both champions aren’t even the best at countering the single champion they were made to counter… No reason to use either of them over any other champion for anything! Please remove this terrible mechanic from Gentle… that’s literally all you have to do. Self-damage mechanic is lame. Ihulk is so unsatisfying to play because of it too.

On a serious note don’t even bother with the 7* if you are serious about Gentle just go for the 6*.
💀💀😱😭😭😭
Good luck taking out 7r4 Bullseyes with 6* 💀
I think Gentle is here to teach us a lesson on empathy for our champs, we will get emotional when he faints every match telling us "I did it for you master".
The worst part imo, is the fact that he can't willingly activate his own utility. It sucks. He NEEDS the opponent/node to trigger sth for them to activate. This makes him only a specialized counter, when he could've otherwise been an amazing general questing champ. I just feel that his kit is kinda wasted as it is now...
It's a shame that the success of every champ that comes out is dependent upon them being either a Serpent or Bullseye counter. We already have plenty in the game.
Character fantasies are just broad aims for a character.
Pursuit, miss , evade, all of those only make proper sense in game. What even is a true accuracy? Why can bullseye counter miss? It does not make sense that he can hit Ghost while she's in the quantum realm. Yes bullseye does not "miss" . But character wise that just refers to his aim. Not at the ability to make contact with intangible objects.
R5a Bullseye using R3 unduped.
