So Sick of Gilgamesh

[Lord of the Brettons]

Such a broken god. Why Hirez sucks at design SOOO badly is beyond me

Welcome to most competitive games on the market. Where balance is often thrown out the window for weird purple monkey dishwasher reasons.

-Ah this thing that's never played people really whine about playing against? Nerf!

-Hmmm we made this character for a specific role! Oh no people are stomping in a weird role, better nerf it to the point that it can't even handle its main role anymore!

-Ah yes, we have this brand new skin for this hero we -just- did a touch up on. I know... I know... they might be op now, but don't worry we'll nerf it by the time people stop buying the skin en mass because they're abusing the character.

-Ahh those characters aren't popular in e-sports? Ehhh let's ignore them, nobody cares anyway.

-Ahhh those characters are popular in e-sports? Hmm,, they're not 'fun' enough to keep the crowd interested. Let's make THESE heroes more appealing ( also we have new skins! )

Them's the wacky world of video gaems.

Also you know, balance can be so overly complex in some games and some people have the wrong idea of how to balancep refering to nerf everything down in weird way instead of bringing up the rear. It makes for really strange decisions if you factor in that they also pay attention to a loooooot of whining from usually a lot of people won't don't understand what they're talking about.

It's a new god, it's going to be busted or else no one will really want to play them (like baba, mulan, etc)
he's getting nerfed, you jsut need to wait

I think Gilgamesh is one of the most broken gods that got released up to this day. Yeah, he can be OP, but he can also screw up team fights with his kick, just how many times friendly Giglamesh kicked someone out of my ultimate either as Kukulkan or Scylla, doesn't matter. Its very easy to troll with it.

main issue is his buggy as hell drop kick.

Drop kicked into a Janus portal? whelp now if you touch a wall you're dead for the rest of the game

Drop kicked into a Ganesha Silence/hold as Odin? Your 1 and 3 are locked out for the rest of the game

I still remember that one game where I did 56k damage with Tsuku as jungler with a damage build while Gilga did 62k damage with a solo build as enemy jungler.

Always love to read, even if it is outdated, posts made by people defending their main who STILL needs a nerf even now.

It makes discussion moot. The fact is, he is overpowered, even as of this writing and people defending it do it because they play him. From casual to pro, it is always the same. Mindlessly defending the main and trying to insult others for pointing out the situation and deflect from the fact a certain character needs to be adjusted.

He needs to be fixed, but the whales will buy him so it will not happen. When a free character needs a nerf, Yomeja and her healing, it happens almost instantly as they remove an entire item to nerf her, but every time Gil or Heimdallr or Odin...especially as it relates to arenas, you kids blindly defend your simple builds and simple rotations until you are blue in the face.

Welcome to the world of reality, in which you have been missed. Gil is broken and they are never going to make attempts to fix him, REALLY fix him, because of people like you who will blindly defend it and go on and on like a Blizzard fan boy but with Rez and Level Up.

Keep being toxic net tough guy though. MIght want to go back to LOL. They have that same toxic mindset. It will do good for everyone, no more blindly defending Gil, a toxic member gone = win/win for everyone.

I'll be honest, hi-rez is just too slow, in my opinion, like, look at baba yaga, she got buffed every single patch almost since her release (where she is mentioned), and stills hard to see people playing her (but she is quite strong against specific matchups, but for most cases not, i would say cause of the animations of her skills). Gilgamesh is strong, and got little nerfs, i believe they will keep nerfing him bit by bit, hi-rez usually dont do big stuff anymore like they did in the past, so a char buff or nerf will come in very tiny slices each time, if you give enough time, it will become okish at some point, problem is that they launch more stuff faster than they fix.
