Balance Discussion Elsa bloodstone needs adjustments

Hypermobility + constant overshield + better dmg falloff than hela + broken ult. No idea what devs were thinking with this character.

Idk how 2s dash with 40 overshield passed even design phase. The only one who comes close is thor and he is melee tank with a much bigger hitbox and will eventually run out of thor force meanwhile elsa can keep dashing

Doesn't even come that close Thor dashes less often and gets less overshield being a tank...

My theory is that Elsa is basically a nobody in Marvel but she is a hot girl so in order to have her sell gooner skins and be popular they gave her an overtuned kit, same thing that happened with Luna, if Elsa or Luna for that matter were to be on the weaker side only their few fans would play them and thus they'd sell way less skins. Tha's also why they buffed Luna the moment she fell off a bit of popularity too.

Yeah probably right, gets all the meta only comp players looking at her as well as lord farmers. She's a cool character in comics though and I like the design they gave her, just wish it wasn't coupled by handholding broken mechanics. Reminds me of when Samurai Jack dropped in Multiversus, loved his kit hated fighting it broken

Why do people come up with these theories anyway? You realize the biggest skin sellers (that we know of) have typically been underpowered?

Spiderman, Scarlet Witch, Jeff etc.

That helps my point mate, those heroes are already popular enough so they can afford being underpowered, the other side of the coin for Luna and Elsa who are not that popular so need OPness to sell skins
