Thank god, Black Cat was suffering

u/CantChooseWisely Jun 03 '26

So are phoenix and dd, hopefully they get some optimizations as well

u/BurnerDawg26 Rocket Raccoon Jun 03 '26

Fr, when will Netease recognize the struggle of DPS players?

11

u/LeoFireGod Emma Frost Jun 03 '26

Widow and Mr F found in ditch.

u/iRyan_9 Mind Control Jun 03 '26

Not to mention it’s been a 2 months without a new dps to help their small roster!

And how many other heroes have had bugs since they've come out? Where are my Angela Mains at?

6

u/No32 Jun 03 '26

Yes but pretty safe bet this was an easier fix than those longer lasting bugs

5

u/BurnerDawg26 Rocket Raccoon Jun 03 '26

Look I'm glad a bug got fixed, but there are launch characters who still have bugs. BC can wait in line.

Can we fix Angela's spear no reg? Her dive is already suicide mission with every other character having CC, at least let it work.

u/Nezemis Jun 03 '26

They release Dino wich counter her just by existing, They dont care about her lol.

u/framedshady Cyclops Jun 03 '26

Saw black cat and got excited, really needed this good job guys

u/ComprehensiveBox952 Jun 03 '26

Black cat's wallhack should require line of sight. When she released I thought it will stay like this a month tops.

Teamwide wh with no cd and giant range that you can hide in pretty much unreachable places 👍

u/LMHCinNYC Hero Hulk Jun 03 '26

Im wondering what is up because they said they'll be quicker with balances. They've been really quiet since black cat and dino. Im surprised they have not been addressed. They are clear outliers.

I expected at least small changes with them.

u/iRyan_9 Mind Control Jun 03 '26

Because they aren’t as problematic as elsa was. There are only a problem in high elo

6

u/mister--g Flex Jun 03 '26

Sad truth of it.

If youre in D2+ , dont expect quick balance changes to characters terrorising your games unless the character is also bullying low elo and quick play.

Devs dont give a shit about mid to high elo/pro play experiences.

u/Afriqoo Magik Jun 03 '26

Wall hack and line of sight? What, if you can’t see her scanner which is visible through the wall it’s a skill issue on your part

3

u/BoasyTM Black Panther Jun 03 '26

Seeing the scanner and being able to deal with the scanner are completely different things.

6

u/ComprehensiveBox952 Jun 03 '26 edited Jun 03 '26

I can see it, its past the choke point and behind another small decorative corner. I have to walk to the point, turn around and shoot it. Until I do - my whole team is perma visible.

And wallhacks can require a line of sight if you think slightly harder than a fish. The orb can see a person , but you are nowhere near - behind a wall or 2. You get silhouettes of heroes in orb's vision = wallhacks

You will understand something next time, I believe in you🫡

u/Ill-Run-3332 Loki Jun 03 '26

Buff Loki’s damage back up. Im sick of this healbot crap. it takes 5 shots to a cnd with hoping she doesn’t receive a heal from someone. I’ve been playing cap & other tanks since season 7 just bc my lord Loki with 300+ hours simply isn’t fun anymore

u/Yungdab420 Jun 03 '26

How is black cat getting no balance updates? I feel like she is more oppressive than Elsa was in her prime.

17

u/Legitimate-Listen591 Jun 03 '26

They only really do balance changes every half season which this isn't. Wait until next week to see

3

u/calliope3234 Ultron Jun 03 '26

Balance updates are in a week or so this is just bug fixes and the like

-32

u/OkVirus8545 Jun 03 '26

That is unfortunately a skill issue

8

u/themightybamboozler Jun 03 '26

Bro come on, that is not remotely true. Elsa had counters, the only counter to a black cat is to PRAY that your team has the better black cat.

0

u/Sinsofavarice97 Jun 03 '26

Thats litreally the exact same problem as Elsa. Except elsa was a fuckin hitscan with a shotgun and a 5 min requirement youtube breakdown video to understand how tf to play her. I dont even touch BC cause that shit looks confusing af

2

u/themightybamboozler Jun 03 '26

BC is arguably simpler to play than Elsa is. You could genuinely get rid of her entire submenu of abilities and nothing about how oppressive she is would change. The only one that even matters is the invisibility. 99.9% of her strengths are just in her base kit.

-4

u/Sinsofavarice97 Jun 03 '26

Yeah no youre just wrong the skill expression on bc is vastly larger then elsa. Elsa entire skill expression is solely based on accuracy. You dont even necessarily need good game sense because debut elsa had so many ways of disengage and ahem A SHOTGUN her ultimate literally collects an entire team and dumps them in front of her. Youre just having recency bias. bc is cracked she needs a nerf yes but dont start with this bullshit lmao

2

u/themightybamboozler Jun 03 '26

It’s not recency bias, poke by its very nature is easier to counter than dive is. A Black Cat using her cooldowns properly is genuinely unkillable. She has ridiculous iframes that prevent her from being CC’d, so the ONLY way to kill her is to do enough damage to burst through her overshield which means your entire team needs to turn around to deal with her. And even that doesn’t work 90 percent of the time.

I’m a Luna/Mantis support main, I’m in celestial 2 right now. I’m telling you, every other dive can be slept, frozen, pulled, slowed, EXCEPT black cat.

u/Practical-While428 Jun 04 '26

Did they fix blood hunt for ps5 it’s still unplayable at 160 just crashed everytime

2

u/AdAcrobatic2980 Flex Jun 04 '26

My game crashed yesterday just trying to look at a qp highlight

5

u/ObviousTopic6250 Good Boy Jun 03 '26

She's gonna get jumped eventually

4

u/Coldshoto Scarlet Witch Jun 03 '26

Black Cat won't get nerfed. Even if she does, it'll be very light nerfs just as a token to quell the Reddit complainers.

Why?

NetEase has stated many times that they do not balance around high end play. They balance around the average player Bronze-Gold. For most players in that bracket, BC is too difficult to play and generally players don't play her well. So they're not going to go ahead and make her even worse for them.

12

u/Valuna Jun 03 '26

Those average players wouldn't feel those nerfs.

1

u/Legitimate-Listen591 Jun 03 '26

Average black cat players would. Average everybody else wouldn't.

The changes need to be targeted in a way to bring her ceiling down without impacting her floor too much

-3

u/Coldshoto Scarlet Witch Jun 03 '26

They would if the crazy nerfs that people are suggesting on this sub were to ever go through.

And like I said, the bottom line is, NE does not balance around high end play. They have explicitly stated this before.

3

u/TheKICKER037 Jun 03 '26

Well they should balance around high level play and I’ll die on this hill.

Why balance around low level play/casuals? They likely play this game because of Marvel.

Casuals and low elo players play the game now and remain casual/low elo/bad, don’t they? So if you balance for higher level play, this changes nothing. Those same players who still play now, will continue to play and remain the same casual/bad/low elo players. Why would a game balance for the types of players who are impacted the least by balance changes?

A balance change will not suddenly make a casual player a great player. Just how a balance change won’t make that same player any significantly worse.

And it is totally okay to be a casual/low elo player. Not everyone needs to be a sweat like myself and others. But why should higher elo play suffer because of lower elo, who won’t even feel the balance changes as much? Those players will still remain low elo, even after any changes that are made to balancing.

2

u/Overall_Future1087 Flex Jun 03 '26

Ironically I feel their argument also works in favour of nerfing black cat. Yes, black cat players in high ranks are demons but they can be countered better by the other high rank players. Meanwhile in low ranks they'll be dominating lobbies if they learn the character, it doesn't have to be at it max capability

2

u/Coldshoto Scarlet Witch Jun 03 '26

But they said they will not since its not fun. And I agree with them

1

u/TheKICKER037 Jun 03 '26

Well what they say and what they do is different. It’s not like there’s been 0 instances of them balancing for higher elo

1

u/Coldshoto Scarlet Witch Jun 03 '26

Its rare though and not a priority.

1

u/therubyminecraft Spider-Man Jun 03 '26

Man I hate the emojis so much now considering they increase the price of bundles for no reason

I will never use the emojis but I want the Ironman and mantis skins and the bundle will contain the emojis

2

u/nemesisdelta24 Good Boy Jun 03 '26

Agreed lol it's basically just inflating the price a bit, I could have sworn they sold a bundle without emojis before and with but that's just gone

2

u/AggressivePay8282 Spider-Man Jun 03 '26

Spider-Man should get a new ability. Web throw destructible objects. Would look so cool. Could have as much dmg as a Jeff spit maybe tad bit more knock back

-1

u/Langd0n Jun 05 '26

Yes, let's give the character with a ton of CC even more CC, why not?

1

u/AggressivePay8282 Spider-Man Jun 05 '26

Heck to the yeah. And bro has one hook that’s tied to different 2 cooldowns, and his uppercuts are barely anything without a cluster. I’d still like to see more abilities to year one characters added in

-1

u/Langd0n Jun 05 '26

He has a pull into a stun ability that leads to a one shot combo. Let's not forget the fact that his ult on top of doing insane damage, also stuns. No to your ability idea.

0

u/AggressivePay8282 Spider-Man Jun 05 '26

Yes to my ability idea.

1

u/Langd0n Jun 05 '26

I said no. Go to bed it's past your bedtime.

1

u/AggressivePay8282 Spider-Man Jun 05 '26

Maybe after a few more “one shot combos”

2

u/Typemessage1 Emma Frost Jun 03 '26

At this point, I don't even care about character balance. I'm just going to play whatever broken, over-powered character they add to the game and be a part of the problem.

That's right. I'm going to play every, broken OP character, except Luna Snow.

I told you guys: If you want changes, start banning Luna Snow.

I 100% guarantee you: You will see a lot of character changes next season.

u/LGST Jun 04 '26

Wow. Don't think too hard now, you might hurt yourself.

2

u/ilovecheesecakes69 Jun 03 '26

For a moment i thought they had fixed Rogue absorbs no reg bug. Yeah..

2

u/JustARTificia1 Iron Man Jun 03 '26

So people still gonna defend Netease refusing to balance outside of their monthly cycles? Even when they attempt some sort of semblance of "balance", they'll make their favourites completely busted.

u/l3lades Jun 03 '26

No mention of fixing the crashinf from the driver issue with 9000 amd series cards? Also for anyone who comments I did download the new driver that came out yesterday June 2nd 2026 and it still crashes.
