(The "(op)" means i think they were truly op last patch)
High-Tiers
Brall(op) - buffed
Ghost(op) - untouched
Shiv(op) - untouched and was buffed last patch for no reason
Tetra(op) - barely touched, somgbow nerf supposedly gonna hurt her but I didn't even see her run that much tbh.
Elluna(op) - nerfed
Merc - nerfed
Beebo - buffed
Bishop - untouched, can't wait for her to still basically just delete me

Low-tiers
Hudson - nerfed due to dash engine nerf
Crysta - hearing that this might be a nerf instead of a buff
Felix - hearing he'll be weaker this patch as well. How true that is idk.
Wukong - i am literally only hearing about him being weak from wu players. Moat other top players I've heard from don't find him to be weak. But he still has his big bugs i think

There is a mix with the S tier nerfs but the biggest offenders were not even touched, and aome even got buffed. Where are their nerfs? Why was hudson's dash mana ignored when he relied on dash engine 2x more than brall(hearing he didn't even rely on it much)? Crysta could probably use a cd buff and where is that? Hudson's wires have needed some help but we're ignored again, why? Felix is currently being locked into a frontline build which a lot of felix's i hear aren't a fan of, even then with the whole cdr shit he strugfkes to have shield up enough.

Ghost(op) - untouched

good patch

The Shiv one confuses me as well. Though bishop being unnerfed isn't surprising, there's like 5 good bishops and everyone else is really bad at her.

#

I think if they nerf her she becomes even yes less usable for the every-man

That is fair perspective on bishop. Just so tired of shiv 4 shotting me without much counterplay to it.

Oh yeah I did forget saros. He's just been doing fine. But with the item nerfs I see him struggling

#

To add to this -
Anyone please, give me 1 other D-tier character than joule who has received actual buffs. And by "actual buffs" I mean smth that isn't just a little mana changes like crystas "buff" or Eva's buff that impacted the character so little.

#

They focus someone hard on nerfing the problem hunters that all the struggling ones have felt ignored to me.

Doesn't ghost have the dash engine tax? And dash engine was nerfed heavily with no compensation. Solid nerf if true

normal osprey
#

Did he run dash engine? I really didn't think he did.

#

At least he won't have bs mobility then

From what I've seen, it feels like a lot of already powerful characters got buffed even more.

#

I'm not sure why they didn't buff Hudson. He feels really weak for a big dude with a minigun.

I've also been playing Beebo recently, and I feel like he's got a lot of skills that are super overpowered when used right.

#

I know that's probably the point of the character, but I don't think strapping a jet engine to a race car is fair for other racers.

#

I spent an hour on brall, and I was doing bettwr than on Hudson whi ibhave hundreds of hours on. that shit is not ok nor is it insanly hard.

#

I feel like they might be balancing around some hunters being hard but ao many of the ones they are balancing like that just, are not that hard.

But sure, TheoryCraft. Tell me all about how Hudson is perfectly balanced.

#

I imagine it's the same reason you refuse to make female characters that aren't the same Barbie doll mold: You're just too lazy to do anything else.

Bro had to bring another design problem to another threads

#

I can also tell he didn't play beebo by saying it's finisher

#

Also they nerfed a lot of the high tiers with items, high tops gone, cdr in exotic class now

Having lower mobility profiles allows Hudson to at least have a technically slight buff due to lower mobility = harder to dive personally think brall should have had a little bit more mana issues would’ve been fine

(also i haven't played yet ao be aware)

For brall he was pretty reliant on dash engine since he would actually run out of mana from dashing. Dash engine on ghost tho I’ve never taken even when songbow lowered his dash cd

normal osprey
# limber hearth It’s less so about catching people in my eyes and more so being able to play def...

Idk if hudson ever really even wants to play defense tbh. With a healer he can do that ok ish but it still tends to be better to just play more offensive. It's also when his wires can get the most value, amth like a felix Q into them or kp stun or zeph nade; thwt gives him the most value with them and they are all offensive.

The less mobility csn help but the main reason I think it might help is due to being able to catch people better, especially since it's the biggest thing he lost with 1.0.

Yep guys, hudson is even less of a character than he was last patch. And idol and songbow are pretty mid on him cus they don't work on dashes. Oh how great that is.

no the other guy

#

the guy who talks about nothing but female design

#

in literally every thread

#

pretty sure hes an elaborate troll and if thats the case i love it

wide tusk
#

While i agree the female designs are uninteresting, that's honestly like the least of the issues with the game. so annoying seeing that everywhere
