WE BACK BOYS!!!!

That means we all gotta run way from Barbatos cause you know his ass was broken last time. God I hope they fixed him.

[Ectior]

"I want every gun we have to fire on that suit!"

[carver]

he was broken if you refused to simply get out of the way, yes, but most suits in this game are broken if you sit there and eat all their damage

[Just Life]

In a old dev blog after the Steam Network Test, Barbatos is being looked into.

well nobody knew what hit them if they didn't see it coming but when you are ready for it Barbatos won't come

[BreadWinderZ]

your average joe didn't know what hit them, if you have experience with mixed combat games like these and knew all the unique sounds barbatos puts out (listen for them, btw) then you can hear him coming from a mile away and simply not get hit. every single move he has plays a unique sound

[k-ricks]

well you don't need to listen just wait for him like Sombra waiting for DF to slam someone

I was annoyed at Barbatos at first. Sure, he kills you if you aren't paying attention. If you are, he explodes like wet tissue paper. He is not "S Tier" like everybody and their grandmother will tell you. He can be countered, and he isn't that big of a deal. Barbatos will never make a move against a well coordinated team. Because he knows the moment he does, he dies.

That's why you play the Zaku II [Ranged] and take the fight to them. Spent a lot of the CBT cheezing Barbies like that. Zip in, mag-dump, zip out - smokescreen if he tried to take the fight back to you. If you didn't kill him, no worries - next person who ran into him generally did and you've made Barbie's life difficult-to-miserable. Win-win all around.

Barbatos is counter-able, just have to stay at range and keep your ears open.

MF is like the 4th Hokage. Instead of marking someone. He just gotta look at you and hes right behind you. Smashing your face it with that mace of his.

I like how the vast and overwhelming majority of the community, reviewers, influences, and the developers themselves pointed out how obviously busted Barbie was during the tests. Yet you still see the odd person swearing on their grave that Barbie being able to 2 shot every suit in the game with the ability to catch even the fastest suit with its aerial combo was totes balanced and easily countered... Stop munching on crayons for a second and actually think how ridiculous y'all sound when you say that.

The developers themselves actually said Barbatos effectiveness died down as people continued to play, not that Barbatos is busted 100%. It being good at low skill levels and less good at high skill levels is perfectly logical for the kind of suit it is.

You do realize that the devs already announced that Barbie has been nerfed, correct? All they said is that he wasn't as bad as people might have initially thought, but he was still overpowered, hence the nerf. In fact, Barbie had the highest win rate in the entire test period.

Edit: I should point out that Barbie was nerfed AND Barbie counters were buffed. So people can argue about this all they want, but it has already been done.
