Rework Berserker

[ClericMan]

Seriously! Berserker is worth big sticky s..t. It is absolutly useless if u are not some grandmaster skilled 100rep guy. His attacks are slow, no specials..simply boring and it is really shame, cause I find him interesting in some way.. need to be reworked from the ground..because changing attack speed is really not enough

400ms hyper-armored light attacks into unblockable mix-ups need buff plz.

[Trippy Drug]

I don't think that's necessary.

I mean, I would like it, honestly, because I am not particularly a fun of how basic berserker feels. He doesn't have any special tools, it's just feints left and right combined with fast attacks. And that makes him boring at least for me.

But as far as balance goes, my problem with him is his hyper armor. Tone it down by reducing how fast he can get it in his infinite it and remove it from the lights and I'd say that he'd be good.

Berserker has already received a rework at the start of Season 5 and there are no plans to rework him again at this time. If there any balance changes that are made to him, we'll be sure to let players know!

As a tangential question with a less flippant tone than my previous post: Were the changes made to Nobushi for Season 5 considered her one-time balance pass, or is she still on the list of "Heroes yet to be addressed"? I know the devs have said all the heroes will get a pass, but I'm unclear on whether or not Nobushi and Highlander are considered to have their boxes checked yet.

I would actually like to know about this too.

And in addition, while the devs have told us about the 12 original heroes being sure to be reworked in the future, what about the season pass ones? Can we expect reworks for some of them too, at least in the sense of large buffs, like what Highlander got?

so you're telling us that the hero that is considered top tier in Competitive because of his insanely good moveset & hyperarmor should be buffed ?

Well he is a top-tier pick in duels, making him a hero with extremely good offense & few weaknesses

I don't know if you're a very bad troll or you're just brand new to the game.

dude, a lot of people play zerker, even new players.

also why did you ignore my post showing proof that he IS a top-tier hero & he dosen't need a buff ?
