Captain Britain Buff

TheHunter3779 · June 2

I dont know.It seems a bit weird that they removed 90% of her old kit that made her unique and made her into an annoying defender. Plus she only has 1 viable rotation (sp3 into the rest), for any meaningful damage.Seems lame to me idk

I like it damage wise its a little stronger since dot ticks instead of fury and cruelty which basically was too unnoticeable also she now can crit so bit more base damage in that sense but the big buff is that she is now potentially useful as a defender

TheHunter3779 · June 2

Damage wise is good if you use the sp3 rotation but she doesnt have any other rotation thats kind what bums me out

Bendy · June 2

Yeah for me i like it as i do love her sp3 animation so if its a reason to use it im down

wish the sp3 were more of a big bonus rather than the keystone of her playstyle

For sure but it is just for attack shes main goal is a defender which will be using a specials so will be getting lots of prowess so its more tuned defender side of the rotation than attacker the only thing i do hate what she lost is energize buff

I mean her kit is basically the same just recontextualised. Instead of energise she has power efficiency, her slow is actually usable now that it doesn't have to get consumed for her abilities, she can now spam specials instead of having damage only every other, she still ramps up her prowesses over time.

I loved her old kit but she's just objectively better on attack and defense now

100% the slow is big being now on sp1 than heavy and not being consumed

It aint basically the same though.Its completely different from her old kit.The loss the ability to punish purify(which isnt even that useful) and shes just good for medium to long fights.The thing that pisses me off is the fact that the sp3 mandatory now (like her damage just isnt good without it). I really dont get what they were going for other then just adding yet another defender

Well its still the same you cant maintain her slow consistently( if you want to maintain your damage).So yeah,other than the damage and the miss counter she has no permanent utlity.Unless you consider energy damage utility (Is good sometimes e.i korg)

She explicitly does punish purify? Her slow reapplies if purified. I played her a ton before the buff and I struggle to see anything major she's missing, the buffs she gained were pretty weak and required a very rigid rotation of combos and now she replaces that damage with stronger neuro shocks which also counter miss and whilst sure her sp3 rotation is pretty vital it's also way way quicker than any rotation she used to have.

All these supposed captain britain fans coming out of the woodwork to complain now she's been buffed is hilarious

Before buff: No one played her aside from players like OP who enjoyed her playstyle.
After buff: No one plays her since now she specifically is put on defense to not play with.

At the end of the day, taking a Non-Defender and turning them into a Defender subtracts a usable champion from the game.

not sure why Kabam felt the need to turn Captain Britain into half an Onslaught but alright ig

She's objectively better on attack than she was before? They didn't remove her offensive potential to make her a defender, they made both better

She is still very rigid on attack better than pre buff, but her playstyle is not a very fun one. Not a good buff imo.

I don't know that rigid is the right word. Sure you've got to use the sp3 but after that you can just spam specials and get great damage
