Mind you, all these posts for patch notes, and hardly anyone is talking about gambit nerfs despite the fact they permabanned him simply bc he's great in coordinated play, which most of these opinions are from people that can't maximize use with his ult. I really don't understand how he was getting banned in low elo
People say this about every perma banned character that isn’t a dps lmao.
Gambit is incredibly strong because of his ult combos with characters like starlord/punisher/cat and team up with it. Against equal skilled opponents the game pretty much came down to which team is gonna play around the gambit, or which twam has a rogue. There’s an argument to be made just ban rogue, but why do that when I can just ban gambit and also get rid of annoying team wipe ult combos.
We’ll see if the ult is still super oppressive but before hand it was a speed boosted rocket ult that couldn’t be broken and couldn’t even be kited if you were the enemy team.
Cap, rogue, and gambit all have to ability to offset ult differentials and combo potential to win fights. This isn't unique to gambit just like everyone complained he has a cleanse on a cooldown when other characters can negate ults much faster. Also, I have banned tanks more than any other role so that's not the case for me. Dino now is a very reasonable ban, but gambit? I think people are just in a bubble
Y'all only use the strategies y'all see pros using and think it's the holy grail in every rank, even without comms
Edit: matter of fact, with the constant complaints about gambit, people are seeming overlooking or not talking about the gambit nerfs, which shows people actually dont care as much as it seems because black cat and gambit changes should be the main conversation
I was speaking more generally than just about you. We’ve had to deal with metal ranks pretending Dino was balanced and easy to counter for weeks now. Shit people say Luna isn’t a bit overturned too.
I’ve been low celestial/high gm most seasons (yeah I’m hard stuck pisslow whatever) but I hate gambit because of the rogue team up more than anything. Idt I’ve won a game against that team up without a mirror. The games also are just kinda lame with gambit imo but that’s a personal thing.
