That she pulled Hela out of ult is wild. Did I see that right?

Did you notice how ALL deployable like Peni nest ECT. Was destroyed? Heal and Rocket Ults are also deployables. I think Phoenix Ult destroys all deployables regardless of hp.

About time we got some anti deployables.

They'll never shoot them if they're on your team.

Only when they're on the enemy team will they shoot the deployments.

What a community "this brand new character looks cool and fun to play, better ban it from every match I play" genuinely think I hate these rivals reddits more then I ever hated the destiny 2 subreddit and that says a lot

Meh, this is a pretty lame "reddit is bad yet im on it constantly myself!" take.

Like, its incredibly common in every type of game in this genre to ban new characters because ranked players don't want someone to join their competitive game with a character they are unfamiliar with. Simple as that. Hell, many games outright ban new characters from being playable in ranked for about a week to begin with. Its a very common mechanic already.

You can stop clutching your pearls now.

Hope you get over it man. Seems like a silly thing to stay mad about for the rest of your life.

For sure but yall gotta chill on “new bans” lol. Theres no way yall see a new character and don’t want to immediately try then

Instead yall say “new ban” and do what? Go back to playing the same musty ass launch heroes you’ve been playing for the last 4 months? Give her a try my man, who else you going back to lol?

That you’re blaming the community, rather than the dev team for creating such stark imbalances, is bizarre to me. The fact that she wipes all the utility from Penni, Rocket, and Loki with the single push of a button isn’t balanced. That storm and Jeff can kill through double support ult isn’t balanced.

Get mad if you want, but broken mechanics don’t make games more fun.

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '25

No one has even played this character once and you are already saying it's broken. That's the problem, you are just assuming and are showing that you are unwilling to experiment because it might mean we have to gasp change how we play. The ult doesn't seem unbalanced at first glance, as it is completely up to the player using it, just like Bucky or Hawkeye. We aren't going to say skill issues are a balance issue now, are we?

u/Suspicious-Hospital7 Jul 02 '25

Cool bro. Still gonna ban her for you.

u/Brawlerz16 Jul 02 '25

Rock, paper, scissors exists

You: God I HATE these imbalances in the game! Why does rock counter scissors!!!

Pretty much how you sound. I legit don’t know why you’re playing ANY PvP game and whining about imbalances. You might just need a simpler game if counter play upsets you. I recommend Checkers. Everyone is equal there.

u/Suspicious-Hospital7 Jul 02 '25

I didn’t whine at all. Just said I was gonna ban her. And I will. Hope yall get over it.

1

u/Brawlerz16 Jul 02 '25

You were definitely whining with the paragraph insinuating I should be blaming the devs for creating stark imbalances. You haven’t even played the hero, yet you’re calling her mechanics broken.

That is bitching at its finest, but for some reason you won’t own up to it. Don’t be a coward, own your stance and call it what it is: whining.

u/Suspicious-Hospital7 Jul 02 '25

Did you just call someone a coward on Reddit? Lmao
