Nerf the Queen

[Chaoz]

Everything about it is frustrating but still fair, it isn't unbeatable.

But the fact its throw ability is an INSTANT KILL? That makes most matchups end before they even start, it is freaking ridiculous, especially since the only other way to get an instant kill is to headshot via Rook, who is ALSO another overpowered piece, but thats mainly through its grapple rather than its weapon. Headshots actually require aiming and positioning. The Queen can just lob a piece at you right from the get-go (or even just have it freaking touch you)

you can counter the queen by running really fast

Not every piece can do that.

OP implies lack of game balance, and also just not a fun experience. It is not fun to instantly die to a move that feels like it requires little effort besides pointing in the opponent's general direction or just shoving the piece into the opponent (because that seems to also instantly kill). The Queen in standard chess is the strongest piece but it isn't freaking unstoppable, in normal chess it can be eliminated if you're smart enough. Nothing about this ability is smart.

Something can't be OP just for the sake of it, it can't be OP "because it is", because something being OP isn't fun to play against.

That's the entire chess part of the game, which takes up over half of the letters of the name of the game. Play your pieces around the board in such a manner where you can get good match ups. Learn how each piece moves around the board and learn how to move your characters in ways where you can either bait the enemy into taking bad matchups, or force them to fight you out of fear that you will take out the enemies king, you can't just win the game by brute forcing it unless you're insanely good at fps games.

You can also use the other pieces as cover to avoid the throwing attacks, and remember you also have a queen. It should self-explanatory that the queen should be able to easily dominate a pawn

They need to buff her machine gun though, I've held fire for ten seconds, hitting every shot, but in the opponent's killcam it does hardly any damage

There shouldnt be a nerf to the queen, but there should be a cooldown for all abilities before the match starts for every piece

Ironically my point was that the queen can get away with brute-forcing. But they nerfed the throw speed so that's something.

Actually, Pawn is one of the pieces that is best at avoiding the throw, due to sprint. Bishop and other Queens are at the highest risk

Bishop’s grenade jump can avoid the piece if it wasnt thrown from above, and the grenade can also destroy or knock the piece away mid flight, just by hitting the nearby ground. However, if the queen is above you, no such luck with this. Thankfully bishop is also pretty vertically mobile
