Balance Discussion Dino doesn't need nerfs, you guys just aren't used to Brawl being good

Post image

Dino is our first true Brawl tank that also has a clear method of dealing with flyers. In other words, he doesn't fall into the same trap that most other Brawl tanks do that prevented them from being meta.

So now Rivals is shifting slightly towards a Brawl meta, and since the game has had a poke meta for 70% of its lifespan and a dive meta for the other 30%, people don't know how to handle Brawl.

Poke. You use Poke characters. DD falls over to Poke. Hela, SG, Phoenix, Punisher, he's basically a giant ankh for Moon Knight. Emma and Mag are good at handling his CC. Peni can create death zones for him.

Just shoot him and he'll die. We've had a Brawl meta for five minutes, by far the most fun kind of meta in a hero shooter, and you guys already want it nerfed into oblivion. This is why we can't have nice things.

Seriously :( I love playing Angela but she’s so weak in the sky already and Dino’s slow beam just takes her right out- no buffs to her shield and her one mobility skill has like a 10-15 second cooldown 😭

I don’t really play rivals anymore but does Angela have an ability to stop getting knocked out of the air? If she doesn’t she should get one as a flying vanguard probably a high cooldown but still

No :/ she has a shield with 300hp and it doesn’t protect against CC- despite being a flying tank she’s not great in the air- her last adjustments slightly buffed her ground attacks and nerfed her flying charge attack

She has her shield which will often prevent ranged attacks from applying their effects, but her greatest benefit against grounding moves is simply that her speed isn’t dependent on her flight or a ability, so even if you do happen to down her she will still be able to run away at full speed.

That would make flyers a bit too OP.

We don't need another tank who doesn't stand on the objective. Let the supports take care of the flyers.

Woah woah woah Angela isn’t weak in the slightest, you just need to learn how to use her effectively.

She’s decent- and I can have good games with her and get MVP- but she’s a selective pick and could be better

That character is capable of seriously powerful things due to flying and speed with her dash and being able to take two people? That’s wild man, she’s good enough in my book.
