They really need to work on Hero Balance, at some point.

[Samnson]

I'm frustrated.


Star lord is outright busted:

-He has aerial hyper mobility
-3 of his abilities grant him a free escape
-His Attacks Range covers basically the entirety of most Objectives Arenas
-His Attacks are basically a laser beam. even worst of a laser beam when the player is getting overly generous Aim Assistance and magnetism with a controller.
-His Difficulty rating is a 2, and all his abilities are 1 Button Freekills.


Venom is irritating for his low difficulty rating.
And is thee meta tank as far as I've been watching.
-Tons of Free Bonus Health,
-Crazy amount of mobility, crosses entire Arenas in 1 button press.
Only 8 Second Cooldown.
-His Basic Attack + mouse Attack and 2-3 half the Roster
-2 abilities have built in CC

The most common Start appears to just be a Flank Tank,
An assassin this isn't punished for bad positioning.


----------

And on the Opposite end, there are some characters that are objectively just worthless.

Wolverines DPS is too low to kill anyone,
-His one major movement ability, ONLY for getting into fights; only against a single target.
-His E Supposedly grants damage reduction, but it isn't strong enough to keep him alive.
-His M2 has a pathetic dash range and does the same amount of damage as a single basic attack.
-HIS PASSIVE HAS A 90 SECONDS COOLDOWN.
Its designed to give him sustain in a fight;
But the likelihood of you actually surviving a fight, let alone killing anyone to reduce the passive? yeah, no wolverine is basically worthless in all fights; without his passive up.
the second he goes in the second the entire enemy team DPS dumps him.
And he has no way to escape.

The design of his kit Screams "I want to be an assassin but I have 1/3 Tank parts shoved into me".

And ultimately he is neither.

Wolverine not being able to wall climb is a problem. He should always be healing as well, maybe stop it for a sec if he goes critical, making the damage redux skill more valuable.

I agree the balance in this game is horrible.. i mean its a new game they need feedback but idk man there isnt any balance patch coming i heard..

[cloudtwirl]

I love this its so cute. Game launches hardly even 10 days old and you want balancing done. With what data?? First off ...TLDR... However im sure you're asking them to completely rework most if not all the characters to your own desire specs with only about 10 days of data to show what is actually good and what isnt.

Now i wont lie there are a bunch of things that need to be reworked like Iron fist literally being able to deflect ANY ult kind of insane to me. However unlike you i seem to be a realist and understand they cant just bippidy boppity boo this ♥♥♥♥ to be completely fine tuned.

Balancing character is something that take a lot of time and man power to put it lightly. Chances are with 3 month seasons they are going to focus on 3 characters to do big changes on and then the rest small changes all to be done at the end of the season. They MIGHT do small tweaks here and there with them but what yall need to understand is they cant just do big changes with character in the blink of an eye b/c people are bad with them b/c changing one thing might make that character OP and changing another might make a good character useless.

You claim Wolverine is to low DPS to kill anyone yet when i go up against good Wolverine players as hulk i still get killed. Yet when i go up against a bad player i stunt on them as Bruce banner...

Again i do obviously think characters need balancing like Hulks ult doing absolute trash dmg and being able to be healed through like its nothing... But im also reasonable to know they aint about to fix this 10 days after launch... Just chill if you dont like the game in its current state come back after a few patches nbd

lol clueless people no one plays Starlord at high elo, hes weak his rightclick is not an escape you can still shoot and kil him in the air no problem his range attacks do low dmg at range and you can kill him during his ult

meanwhile Hela mains are 50% of the ranked ladder, Hela almost every game gets 30+ kills mvp, invulnerable escape, invulnerable ultimate that does AOE and 2 taps, 2 taps hitscan left click compared to her starlord is utter trash. Her left click is better her ult is better her dmg is better she is picked 10x times more

[Joeycentral]

Agreed. I main Psylocke and I absolutely HATE her design in this game and how she plays. She should have been lore accurate to the comics using her katana similar to magik but with steralth. Instead they made her a cheap Genji knockoff. I hate the way she plays. I try my best out of protest to use her as a steath blade at the detriment of my team, but sadly, it just doesnt work. My hope is they get rid of her crossbow and replace it with a katana and give her a moveset similar to her comic book design because right now, she is in desperate need of a rework.

You basically agreed with the op but not about heroes..

I think all the heroes need balance passes, there are some huge disparities between them.

starlord and venom are never banned in ranked lol

That doesn't mean anything. Close to every lobby has Hela and Hawkeye banned and at least one gets banned by both sides. Leaves only one other ban and that's usually Luna/Psylocke/Mantis/Punisher/Magik/Wolverine. Just because these are STUPIDLY broken, doesn't mean others aren't OP.

Also, for OP, Wolverine is surprisingly prevalent in high elo. Most lobbies either have him played or he's banned. Would say he's played/banned in about 1/3 of the games. I never played him, because I rarely get to DPS and when I do it's on Psylocke or Moon Knight, so I don't know what exactly they see in him, but it's probably something about knowing how not to get instantly boomed by everything.

Or the fact that he does 233 dps with his first three strikes at max rage and can hit for 420 in a single hit with his skill on a tank. He is every vanguard's nightmare. Just when you thought being healed made you invincible, along comes a guy whose dps outscales your healer and still chips away at you.

I think if Wolverine had ana ctual hearing factor he'd be viable.

Wolverine keeps trying to dive me in the back and I keep killing him. As a support. And not even one of the strong dueling supports. I can kill him as Adam Warlock for crying out loud. Consistently. He's that bad.
