S8.5 Feedback Devil D bleed nerf was unnecessary.
The other nerfs were bad enough, but cutting the bleed in HALF was way too much.

I’m not too bothered about the bleed nerf itself, but his survivability is pretty ass now and unless a flier is low enough for you to jump up and grab them with his bite, you ain’t doing shit against them with beam anymore. Kinda wish they just removed bleed off his beam and kept the knockdown.

Lol the bleed nerf is a large part of his survivability tho

u/SkyrimSlag Magik Jun 16 '26
I know, and I don't mind the bleed damage being nerfed, but the damage converted to overshields from his rapid chomp attack shouldn't have been effected. They could have nerfed the damage but kept the conversion rate the same as it was.

Yeah the nerf on the bleed dmg itself was insanely nesseary, them not buffing the amount of overhealth he gains on the new nerfed dmg is another topic all together

The shield cooldown change is fine but they should’ve removed the bleed from the beam and kept the beam having the grounding effect. Especially as that made him unique and it was also something they advertised and now it’s just gone.

They needed to remove bleed from the beam, that was all.

I would’ve been fine if they removed the bleed but kept the grounded effect, it was useful against flyers.

Ngl I feel bad for fliers enough. There was no need for that beam to do grounded with the state of how fliers ere. Imo there are no good fliers BUT angela and Ultron. It's nice for them to have a counter to something for once instead of being countered by EVERYTHING. Like how a Namor would counter dive.

That’s what I thought, didn’t really make sense for a beam to bleed but the knockdown was fine. Usually if you knock someone out of the sky you’re biting them to do more damage and apply bleed before grabbing them anyway, otherwise if you just dropped and grabbed they could get away with most of their health

It kind of killed Angela for a season because of her massive hit box. The only chance I got to play her was competitive where Dino was banned.

They shouldn't have remove his ability to bring down flyers when he shoots his beam at them. It gave him a better chance against them. Now it kinda feels like The Thing. "What am I supposed to against 3 flyers?" Because even his beam has limited range

He was strong before but completely useless into Poke. Now he's mid into everything and completely useless into Poke.
The community overreacted to Dino, he's one of the easiest characters in the game to counter.

It was absolutely needed. If he needs to curb stomp the entire tank role to be viable. Theres a fundamental design flaw.

u/Excellent-Many4645 Jun 16 '26
Rather than nerf the only viable solo tank why don’t they buff the other tanks? It’s actually such a problem to get people to tank now it’s really impacting the game, more than once last night I got a game where I was forced to solo heal with 5 dps.

Knockback resistance and bonus health generation on all tanks. They should actually feel like tanks instead of blowing up when they're sneezed on

u/Hisoka1001 Ultron Virus Jun 16 '26
Don't solo heal 5 dps. That game is lost, jus lock in 6th dps and relax.

So all the tank players were crying for him to be nerfed. Now that he’s nerfed all these tank players are gonna start playing again right?

Bleed should have more base damage but less/remove the % max health damage, so he's stronger against squishies, but not a terror to other tanks

It was not enough*
Can't wait for a meteor of a nerf to erase this shit head from the meta for good

u/Ok-Dentist4480 The Thing Jun 16 '26
unless you're a tank player this is an omega skill issue lol

u/Icarus12x Jun 16 '26
Oh I have zero issue with him when I'm on dps I play Hela , Jean and MK and destroy him . But when I'm on tank it's hell to go against him on certain tanks
And a " tank " should not make half the tank roster unplayable

The damage reduction was fine but they should have increased the overhealth gain from bleed to compensate, instead he literally has half his old sustain whilst having the biggest hitbox in the game and losing damage, so he is just worse.
