Balancing still hasnt learned and its nearly 2025

[Forager]

there should not be any character that one shots other characters. you have hawk eye in every replay shooting peoples knees, critting and one shotting. Hela nearly one shots, shoots 3 times as fast as namor and has an overwhelmingly better kit.

The game is new, which is understandable, this should have been caught right at character design though, on top of that its taking ages to get a balance fix out of this common sense issue.

How dumb are you?

If you want a balanced game just play overwatch. Rivals is just a chinese cash grab blow everything up game and is hard to take seriously when games like overwatch exist in the genre. Rivals isnt meant to be taken seriously though so there wont be any balancing.

yeah the balancing is currently cheeks

Hela and Hawkeye are buffed by the seasonal buff. They straight up do more damage just because.

seasonal buffs? that's really a thing where they decide A,B,C character is going to be overpowered this season?

Unfortunately they are very slow, perhaps intentionally, so this may just be an entire season thing where they don't fix their mistakes and couldn't be bothered to. Hope I'm wrong and a patch comes out tomorrow, but this has already gone on too long so hopes aren't high.

Some guy had an easy solution in his comment, just start by removing the season buffs from them until a better fix is implemented. There are alot of good corrective possibilities just sitting out in the open.

Both side of the team has the same characters, where is the imbalance you're talking about here? If Hawkeye is OP, then he's OP on both teams thus making the game fair and balance.

There's no such thing as a seasonal buff in this game, the buff you're seeing is for when they are the anchor for a team up. Hate people spreading that rumor.

They are glass cannons with low mobility... It's balanced. You just have to work around it. Hela's are very easy to kill. Switch to Starlord, flank behind her. Unload a full clip, right click insta-reload, unload another clip. Press E. She's dead. If she uses bird to escape just follow it and finish her. It's got about 10 feet of range. Aside from that she has no vertical movement so she's just stuck slow and grounded once the bird is gone.

Against a Hela who cant aim that will work, but theres a reason shes banned in 100% of matches in competitive. Its actually higher than 100% statistically, because each side uses 1 vote to ban her, so she receives on average more than 1 ban a game. The top player in the servers were playing Hera before the ban popularity kicked in, now its Dr strange and panther etc.

This point is too strong to be countered by simply "just do this" a casual argument and at other times possibly valid, but not in this situation.

I believe its called that way cuz they are planning to change the team up skills every season?
But basically by if you give other players the set bonus you get a stats bonus like 15% more damage.

I think the problem is that they're counter play(flank/dive) is harder than going poke as well.
By getting close to hawkeye make him easier to hit you and he also has a reposition skill to buy some time to shoot you multiple shots before he gets kill and every shots has chance to oneshot.
Best way to balance this is to give him reverse damage falloff so he can't oneshot ppl close range.
