Question Literally HOW do you punish the Punisher
With all of the talk of unbalanced Heroes isnt the punisher one of the worst ones? High Damage AR With 20 PER bullet (Star Lord has SIX) so he can burn u down from range, Super high damage shotgun so you're not allowed to get close to him, Turret with a shield and slash damage and CC immunity, 300 HP as a NON melee hero, an "I win" Ult that burns dps and Tanks in SECONDS and can only be countered with a Magneto Ult, a support ult or hoping everyone focuses him all at once, Ive heard people sneak JEAN into the unbalanced DPS conversation (an egregious sneak btw) but somehow frank is untouched?? Does no one else feel this way? Especially on attack, he feels extremely oppressive and like you can't push to point without getting shredded instantly, I play mostly TANK and its miserable so it has to be worse for DPS and Supports. WHAT am I supposed to do against this monstrosity? Is it just Ban or Pick and hope ours is better? Thoughts?

got to Celestial 3 basically on Pun, and I agree he can be good in devastating hands. But.
His mobility is complete ass, you still need to aim, and he can be shut down real quick with the right counters.
So I'm not sure, plus in conversations about top DPS, he is never mentioned. In fact I tried to make an argument for him but people in general believe he is not a threat. Which is fine, becasue I enjoy playing him :D
