And your brilliant idea is to make him an even harder counter even though she already has a hard counter, making her more irrelevant on defense? Lol you literally wrote down like five new abilities and a bunch of number tune ups that's not even a buff at that point that's a rework, you're delusional.

It's not the increased potency that's the issue, it's the other ten things you want them to change on his kit 💀

As for your other comment, the reason that matters is because he already shuts down Bullseye's abilities completely. If you give him guaranteed crits he will single handedly make Bullseye irrelevant on defense the same way they killed Bishop with Iron Doom and Peni with Galan and they already stated they don't want a situation like this again because it makes designing strong defenders a waste of time and it's not healthy for the game on the long run. Counters yes, hard counters that shut them down completely and kill them in 30 seconds no.

They literally haven't done that with any attacker that counters any of the current meta defenders so far so I don't know what you mean by what's stopping them from doing this with the next champ.

As for Torch, it is absolutely baffling to me how you think that Torch can handle half of the current meta defenders when he straight up can't do Domino, Serpent, Red Skull, Dark Phoenix, Bullseye, Attuma, Yelena, Onslaught, Bishop or Maestro and he will take chip and block damage against Photon, Dust, Zola, Deathless Thanos and Spider Woman. You are very wrong if you think Torch's score against these defenders can't be beat by other champs that counter them better, Torch's only purpose now is shutting down the mystic class and that's it.

Beaucase he still mostly attacker and he still incosistent against his ideal match ups? who his fighting does not determine whether S2 will do enough damage unless he has rarity disadvantage, He should not be soo RNG reliant even more that you are trading part of your HP for that damage

GilbertoJunior

Why people say this when the main match Kabam show us is against enchantress? do people seriously still believe he wans't design to counter enchantress when he has abilities to counter all her spells including a debuff that negates part of her spells

And the reverb does not justify losing 50% Flat crit damage, it's 25% to 50% and the Daunted is what makes the actual damage for the reverb

I like him and I don't care about the crits being inconsistent, I've used him every BGs season since I got him and this last AW season as well for a bunch of Bullseyes. You're being overly dramatic here, just learn to use him and use sp2 spam rotation instead of asking for a buff it's really not that hard.

ItsClobberinTime

It takes 40-50 seconds regardless of class advantage to: throw one sp2 at 12 mass or below and only the second at 13 to guarantee the final sp2 kills and you lose zero health as seen here

40-50 seconds for 550k hp too slow for you? Not enough damage? Come on lol.

GilbertoJunior

He can do Onslaught,Spider Woman, Photon,Zola,Dust,Bishop None of them are immune to Nova flames and one of the reasons people wanted 7* Torch is beaucase of the Block proficiency stat increase,the block damage ins't just Torch problem , there are alterar videos out of people trying him and testing against Non Mystic and his working, Thats why i said half and not all defenders, nobody is using him against Bullseye just make it make sense

"If you give him guaranteed crits he will single handedly make Bullseye irrelevant on defense the same way they killed Bishop with Iron Doom and Peni with Galan and they already stated they don't want a situation like this again because it makes designing strong defenders a waste of time and is not health for the game in the long run"

Bishop still relevant defender even after Idoom release even as 7*,Peni has been getting heavy counters from a ton of cosmics not just Galan and even before him she was taking punches with easy, Hulkling is a better counter than Galan, Bullseye is already irrelevant since they already released 5 characters that can counter him and somehow people still using him on ther deck and they are releasing more

And you know what else Kabam said last year? they wouldn't be releasing more defenders and they would tune them down and look where we are today at 1 per month and with new characters to counter those new defenders above already existing characters that can partially deal with those defenders

As for my Falcon kit you can cut half of the changes and leave the numbers increase and thats basicly all he needs

GilbertoJunior

You like him on BGs and don't have problem with his lack of consistency? ok good for you It won't change the problem me and others

You did a good time and damage against 4 stars on realm of legends? good i also did 47 to 52 seconds with a R4 Ascended Gladiator and even then i know it doesn't work the same as BGs and Realm of legends doesn't have nodes or actual defenders with the same rarity to not give you crit rating advantage against lower rarity, why are you mentioning damage if the problem that is being point out is crit rating not how much damage he does

Funny i'm the one being called overdramatic while you are making intire essays to say a character doesn't need change beaucase me and others said he is incosistent and thats a problem

If i have to use a completly different rotation than what the devs themselfs intended for the character properly somehow i'm the problem for asking for simply 2 changes not even a full rework or removal of his recoil that is the reason many side eye him

ItsClobberinTime

He can't parry Onslaught, Zola or Dust therefore he has to do ML and stick to intercepts which will make the fight very slow or else you take block damage (he was literally losing 20% health on the videos Lagacy uploaded yesterday), that score is easily beatable by other champs.
Spider Woman and Photon require very slow play so you don't get caught with undexable specials, Nick showcased what that's like and he was not fast in took him 55 seconds to take out Photon with slow play to prevent chip damage, again another score easily beatable by other champs that aren't even meta like Mantis and Sable.
As for Bishop, he will be at max prowess during the whole fight, he throws one sp1 or you fail to dex sp2 and you're dead, not to mention you will take some block damage because you have to force him to throw sp2, again another defenders that has way better counters who can beat Torch's score easily.

None of the current Peni counters can kill Peni in 15 seconds at full health like Galan, once again you miss the point entirely.

So your brilliant idea is to make Bullseye even more irrelevant? Lol.

They have toned down defender strength since Serpent was released, I don't know what you're even talking about none of the defenders released since are as strong or stronger than Serpent, they stayed true to their word.

ItsClobberinTime

What lack of consistency I just showed you screenshots of him doing 550k hps in 40-50 seconds lmfao.

Yes, ROL with bad AI that constantly holds block and the hps are 200k bigger than the ones in BGs, and he still finishes in under 50 seconds it's exactly the same in BGs when you use the rotation I've been suggesting but you're very dense. You're asking for guaranteed crits as if the damage wasn't good enough as is, it is when you use him properly which you refuse to do.

That's not me being dramatic, that's just me spelling it out for you receipts included. You're obviously not getting it so I'll just stop here 😂

Many? Who's many you and the ten other TBs who don't have the 7*?

So what is he designed to be? I’ve got a duped seven star sitting around waiting to be used for something.

Buttehrs

At this point id just give up trying to convince them. Kabam already told em gentle is great currently. They refuse to see it. Like talking to brick walls.

peixemacaco

With a 6 stars dupped and after knowing he is an Amora counter, yes...

Buff the Falcon

But... sadly they will say ,he fits what they wanted
....
Vai Corinthians!

ItsClobberinTime

It's just crazy that people are asking for a Gentle buff when he's already very good you just have to know when to take the risk with max muscle mass, he isn't slow even when you play him safely this way.

WednesdayLength

He's a counter to enchantress that can make certain parts of her kits easier to manage, but he was never designed or advertised as a hard counter. The idea of hard counter or nothing is just not in line with how the game works now

WednesdayLength

A champion with some abilities that make enchantress easier but not completely useless

Herbal_Taxman

What about non-enchantress fights? I’m honestly curious if there is some use for him I haven’t discovered yet. Sounds like I’m still much better off using Photo or S-woman for Enchantress.

ItsClobberinTime

He definitely needs a buff because right now he isn't good for anything but op is asking to make him a counter so strong he makes Enchantress completely useless as a defender, we all know that's not going to happen lol.

WednesdayLength

He has incredibly easy to access slow, lots of debuffs, fairly solid damage and good tankiness with inequity and his regen. Given that were now in an age where we need 15 champions of each class per month for eq the idea that one champion being better than them makes them bad is just not true. Besides that, if someone is bringing a beefy enchantress in bgs and bans all of the big counters it's certainly valid to have one extra that can also be used as a general damage dealer with good evade countering. Champions aren't just designed to do one single fight
