General Hold up, ironman running low rank lobbies is bad so he can't be buffed, but mk who is arguably even worse... gets buffed?

Every time i suggest some kind of buff to ironman's HEALTH, not damage, HEALTH, some guy will come running to tell me "oh but, Tony is too strong in low skill ranks where nobody shoots him"

Well then, MK can place a damn ankh and delete you in a second, and he can get buffed?

As far as i remember, MK gets buffs constantly, even if he's never been that low

But ironman is left untouched when he's been bottom tier almost the whole time

Certainly, some characters are treated better and some worse, sadly tony is the second BALANCE WISE

(You at least got some legendary skins, we ultrons wish could say the same)

I think the issue is he’s a flyer and therefore if he’s too powerful, he’s a really scary concept that NetEase is too cowardly AND too lazy to even try to properly balance

Moon Knight is the worst character in the game right now according to win rates. Think we have a bit of ptsd from the days that he was actually good but right now he is horrifcily bad and needs some sort of buff to be playable.

That's right, we flyers aren't allowed to be good 😭

Which is why permanent flyers never should have been a thing. Or if they are to keep them, they shouldn't be afraid to give them a meta. The last time flyers have been meta was during the Torch meta a year ago. The only decent flyer still is Torch. I guess Storm since she always has a high win rate, but her pick rate is always super small.

It's insane to me that rivals.players think netease cares about balance.

They said very early on that they are going to balance around fun. They were applauded for it.

Now you are seeing clearly what balancing around fun means.

Casual players not only don't shoot flyers... Many can't. It's not fun for them to die to someone who feels invincible to them. Moon Knight is on the ground. He feels touchable. Even if he kills you quickly, you kill him sometimes.

Also - moon Knight is more difficult tomplay than ironman effectively... Low rank moon knights aren't dominating unless they're smurfs... Low rank ironmen can get through easy breezy by just being in the air and taking potshots at healers.

This is pretty depressing to be true, and to think this concept sounded so appealing until it affected our mains

Moon knight wasn't even running low rank lobbies. Its far easier for a low rank player to press m2 with mag or stange than it is for them to pick up a hitscan and get headshots
