Why MJ need a buff

[distant iris]

I think if she has to sacrifice her health, she should be more threatening, like an assassin. Someone mentioned before that backstab is a good choice.

ECHO LOCATION (Default R ability) is for gathering intelligence. Wouldn't it be better if it could also detect traps? If her role is to gather intelligence, then her health should not be reduced.
KNITTING BAG (left click) the picking time is too long. They can hear you picking locks. And if you interrupt, you must pick locks again. Yarn ball (right click) is the most useful skill and FAN OF NEEDLES (level 5 ability) also good.

I am level 20 on MJ and a genre of ASCENDING NEEDLES(level 10 ability).It seems a bit weak in comparison.I mainly use it for parkour, stealing over the fence or walking on the wall because it only exists for about 3 seconds, it is difficult to use. If you fail, you have to start over again. It has no other use. It's a bit of a waste. Get a Yarn ball (right click) instead. I think it could be possible to add the function to disable traps and turrets.

This is just my small suggestion, I hope it helps you @neon lagoon

sorry for my english

Well written 🙂 Will take it into account! Thank you!

Love this feedback🎉 I am curious to know if you @distant iris and @near pawn want to play her mostly as an assassin for knocking people out, or as a stealth character that is weak at knocking out people, but good at swiftly breaking in undetected, smashing a house essential and escaping again? Or perhaps being able to swap between the two playstyles with perks?

a stealth character that is weak at knocking out people, but good at swiftly breaking in undetected sounds good. Assassin can be a new character

Being weak is all she is. She’s not stealthy outside of her lockpick which is completely not useful

She can’t 1v1, her projectile (the only decent thing she has) is 10x worse then Kim’s who is better in every other way, 2 of her abilties are nearly useless.

I’m definitely more interested in her playstyle of sneaking in and breaking things, though I do also believe that giving her either a bit more offense or a bit more mobility wouldn’t be a bad idea, since other characters like P.A can generally do her same job more effectively, even though they can’t be stealthy until after having broken a way in (better for long-term in a match and more versatile, but MJ is the queen of getting an early game appliance destruction)

I think her best possible change would be to make her lockpick like 3 seconds faster - it’s also worth noting that if the enemy team has a good defense player, they will generally be able to hear your lockpick regardless of which door you’re at as long as they’re in their house, which makes your stealth almost comparable to just breaking in anyway, except they can undo your “damage” by closing the door or window. I don’t think the lockpick should be quieter, but making it a bit faster would be reasonable compensation.

I also think her only good character-specific perk is Fan Of Needles; Echolocation is generally not useful for experienced players, but I do think it’d be better if it also revealed traps in a radius around her or something. Aside from letting you skip one stage of lockpicking via jumping the fence, I don’t think her level 10 feature has much use either when compared to Fan Of Needles. It also takes away your right click yarn ball from what I’ve heard, which is not good since your yarn ball is generally your best tool. I think currently Fan Of Needles overshadows her other options, because her other options are pretty bad and are competing with one that is a bit too good.

…Wow that was a lot of text, sorry for yapping lol! TL;DR is the stealth and breaking in sneakily to break an appliance is her most fun aspect.

[regal sequoia]

Echolocation needs to just reveal everyone to your team on the map, give it a higher cooldown in general.

Lockpick should be much faster and keep whatever is lockpicked permanently unlocked.

Yarn ball could probably have a small damage buff.

Her needle bridge needs a big buff, it’s fun but useless.

Fan of needles needs toned down big time.

I agree, she is supposed to be a stealth character so giving her some kind of stab attack would match her and give her a small buff

[warm garnet]

I don’t think she’s in a bad spot besides her lockpick could be slightly faster and maybe rework her level 10 perk

She has the fastest movepseed in the game. As long as I’m not too greedy and plan a route out for where I’m going I hardly get caught unless cornered.

[near pawn]

Does she? According to prior information, all characters have the same move speed except Doreen, who is slightly slower

Oh interesting, thank you!

No problem gamer 🙂
