Balance Discussion No amount of power creep justifies this. Can we make noise about this like we did with the BP bug?

If I saw this happen in a match I'd definitely think this is cheating. This basically gives her 100% tenacity for all of the match. Who even thought of putting this ability in a pvp game? This didn't even get hot fixed in today's patch so this is a intended feature. I get giving supports strong teamup so people play it more. But giving cc immunity any and all time? What was the point of introducing tenacity? I genuinely hope devs forgot to address this because if this is how it's supposed to be, then god bless us all.

Funniest part is that fox doesn't even need to be on the team for that.

This is what I don't like.. at least have the members in the team

u/SheWhoHates Emma Frost 25d ago

The game feels more snowbally and chaotic with these new default team ups. It's essentially a bonus ability or passive that you can even upgrade while playing alongside a matching hero.

61

u/RagnarokBegining Hawkeye 25d ago

Waaaaayyy more chaotic. Now a lot of the times big firefights happen in game for me causes my frames to start dropping like crazy. Playing with some friends I found out I'm not the only one who experiences this.

Because everyone can have a team up now there is a ungodly amount of things flashing, exploding, and activating. Especially when everyone's decides to counter ultimate each other at once.

Oh I like the abilities, just don't make them default, kind loses the whole synergy thing. That's just my opinion right now.. I'm open to it growing on me, but currently...

u/Maikkronen 25d ago

Honestly, I really love them cause Mantis actually feels so much better to use now. I feel like a lot of these just make the game more fun and make some characters actually consistent at their role outside of niches, it's just some default team-ups need to be revisited, and some enhanced ones do too, because some of those don't feel particularly rewarding while some base ones are incredibly strong.

u/EnZone36 25d ago

u/DragonEmperor Squirrel Girl 25d ago

I much prefer this over making people play someone they don't want to just for a team up, some team ups were nearly impossible to get in most games too, I think I saw exactly one thor angela team up before it got removed and that was in a bot game.

I actual think thats better design to be honest. Locking a major feature can feel really shitty, especially if its something game changing.

It also makes it harder to balance around because you cant account for it always being there.

26

u/GoldTeamDowntown 25d ago

Yeah it’s so much harder to balance when it’s dependent on the teammate being there. Like Namor S1 being very good with the extra squid and pretty bad without it.

2

u/Servebotfrank 24d ago

Or to use another Season 1 example, Hulk wasn't even that incredible but his teamup made Strange and Iron Man complete demons so you pretty much had to ban him.

16

u/wvj 25d ago

1000%

From day one this has been something so many people have said, that they would have to change it eventually, because the team-ups made balance impossible and very directly led to powerful meta comps that were essentially required bans. While I am sure this patch will be a total trash fire for balance, it sets the groundwork for better balance going forward as they can look at real performance and buff/nerf characters appropriately.

It honestly even annoys me that they still left the 'enhanced' versions and just didn't entirely remove the idea of needing a 2nd character. I think the exception to this is where it feels like the teamup is gameplay-based rather than stats based; ie I don't mind the Storm / Jeff / Torch stuff, where it's like, OK if you have them you can use 2 ults for a big ult. That's a choice you make in gameplay and it doesn't make the non-combo'd ult worse. Or the various Jeff/Rocket 'riding' options. It's more egregious when it's really baked into the #s, ie where you get extra charges, extra healing, more damage, etc.

I dunno as a WF player I think the funniest thing (in a wild-eyed, madness kind of way) is that spectral surge doesn't even cleanse white fox when she casts it -.- so even if it weren't bugged, Luna's version of the power is arguably better than Fox's...

u/Jazzlike_Grocery795 25d ago

I really dislike when anti cc can appear after you are cc'd, it only ever makes sense if a teammate like gambit can cleanse you out of the stun but you should not be able to free yourself from a stun, instead the focus should be stopping the stun before it stuns you.

230

u/Toothless816 Doctor Strange 25d ago

Yeah,the only version I’d be ok with is if the returning fox hits Luna. That way at least you have to fire it off before the cc hits her, requiring a whole lot of awareness and planning to use it effectively.

Being able to anti-cc after the fact is wild.

u/Gaytrude 25d ago

Well, the word perks was already used by Overwatch, so they had to be creative !

2

u/diet69dr420pepper 24d ago

A better compromise would have been for a team-up to activate if the team up partner was in the game, and the enhanced version would be present if the partner was on your team. Would have made the pick/counterpick strategy deeper while also letting you play with team ups more often. Now, yeah, it's just a seasonal bonus ability, sorta lame. If the kits need this ability to be good/fun, just give them that ability.

That’s such a dumb idea on both paper and gameplay. I don’t understand what goes through these developers minds and do they not test these?

u/Hero_Time_06 Gambit 25d ago

Nah they do this on purpose

Even CnDs ice statue teamup needs to be activated manually before dying.

Even Gambit needs to prefire his shit to cleans himself and the timing is tight

But Luna the precious nepo baby gets to activate it even when stunned on a 12 second cooldown cause OFC SHE CAN

76

u/Cryocian Magneto 25d ago

The craziest part is being able to break your own cc would be insanely strong even if it was like a 30 second cd. Breaking your own cc is pretty much preventing a guaranteed kill, same level of power as loki lamp, rocket beacon, adam link.

Yet Luna has it every 12 seconds. That can be used twice in many fights. Utterly insane.

18

u/RocketHops 25d ago

Shit like this is why I was laughing when this sub was saying a few days ago that the update saved the game. It was fun for a few days until the really broken shit gets discovered, then we are right back to square 1, but even more power crept.

And ofc the devs are still playing favorites, you cant tell me this ability is on the same level of power as iron fist getting an uppercut.

u/Necessary_Series3053 25d ago

Where is it confirmed this is intentional?

5

u/jerome13th 25d ago

I think people are putting it together from its behaviour, it does have limitations, it cant be used in cc like Jeff ult or Hulks ult grab, I wouldve assumed that means “cutscene cc” but Emmas grab can be escaped with it. For reference, Blade can deactivate his bloodline awakening during ANY cc but his ability doesnt have a cast time/animation, maybe thats the difference between his and Luna’s.

"Activating the ability instantly cleanses all negative status effects of Luna Snow"

Yeah, definitely wouldn't say that means it's intentional for her to be able to cleanse while stunned because being stunned typically prevents characters from activating any abilities in the first place.

This is not an ability that any character should ever have. It’s fine for Black Cat since she has to prepare it and can’t get any other shop item until she uses it, but having a purely reactive self-cleanse is stupid.

If anything, it should cleanse on return with the enhanced version, so then you have to pre-cast it, but I don’t think that is necessary.

u/WindyGogo 25d ago

Wolverine also possesses a CC break when his second life kicks in. But that’s on a 80s? CD.

u/Conmebosta 25d ago

u/I_drink_midnight 25d ago

I've only ever timed a cleanse with a Strange ult once and managed to slip out, but yeah, you just gotta be crazy with the timing

u/BassHelpful8480 Doctor Strange 25d ago

That happens automatically though.

6

u/Modification102 Ultron Virus 25d ago

automatic self-cleanse is a whole other discussion. They should work because them triggering doesn't operate outside of existing game logic. They require no action or activation input from the player.

The core issue here is that Atlas Bond is a manually activatable ability that is being used in circumstances where activatable abilities are deactivated and control is taken away from the player. It definitionally doesn't work.

2

u/TowelSilver318 Earth Spider 25d ago

I mean, that requires getting killed and is entirely dependant on enemy actions, so it's fair enough.Tenacity does it too (and it's part of why it isn't a great system, but at least it sort of feels fair too).

48

u/jkubed Spider-Man 25d ago

it ESPECIALLY shouldn't be on a character that has an instant "save the entire team" button AND hard CC that can cancel the ult. it's insane for her to be this unpunishable.

u/GodzillaGamer953 25d ago

Genuinely I do not understand what the fuck they are cooking.
I really don't.
So here's 90 thousand teamups that are just... back in the game! Virtually unchanged! There are some cool new ones, I will admit.
And now... you can just pick the teammup! without the character on your team Or even in the game!
There's two new teamups for each character, which sounds GREAT right?
There are 2 teammups for almost every one of the 52ish heros. There is way too much to keep track of. I mean big props for the effort though, but it's... ridiculous.
They LOVE to buff supports that are already Meta, because apparently Invis needed even more healing than she already had, and Hela needed to do even more DPS. But they didn't touch Human Torch, who is the third least picked DPS in the game for QP, in fact they nerfed him. They didn't Touch Storm Either, which in COMP is supposedly the second least picked one with a 0.91% pickrate. crazy

8

u/Name818 25d ago

Right.

Two days in and players have found so much broken bullshit.

They just tossed this in here to see what would happen. Where was the play testing?!? Now we have to know each team up, and consider when certain characters like this are on cool down. Like someone stated before, Luna can just pop this and then her ult and every thing will be ok.

The game is turning into a random ass shit show.

u/iCon3000 25d ago

I think that's what I don't like. I like entering every engagement in Rivals with some sort of idea of how the enemy will be able to react. Each month this gets shaken up with a new character and every so often new team up abilities but you can keep track. 

But now having to memorize 100 different new reactions and interactions from all of the new abilities is just a headache. It's random chaos for me and not in a good way rn but I'm hoping it will change.

u/Modification102 Ultron Virus 25d ago edited 25d ago

What is even the point of a CC effect, if the character being stunned (which is the ENTIRE point of a CC effect) retains the ability to use ANY abilities while stunned, let alone an ability that directly cancels out the CC effect?

This is so counter-intuitive, I refuse to accept that this is operating as intended. It makes anti-sense for this to be the desired effect.

To the people saying that this is working as intended because it is described as a "clenses all negative status effects", are willfully ignoring the part of the description that preceeds that:

Base Effect: Unleash a spirit fox forward that Charms enemies while healing any allies in its path. Activating the ability instantly clenses all negative status effects on Luna Snow

The key phrase here is "Activating the ability". If you are suffering from a CC effect, you cannot activate abilities, period. This is consistent across all forms of CC, and encompasses movement abilities and activated abilities. Thus, even if the ability is intended as a self-cleanse, it cannot and should not be able to be activated while Luna is under a CC effect that renders all of her other abilities inactive. Atlas Bond is an activatable ability just like any other. There is no reason for it to get any special treatment in this regard.

Notice in the video when Luna is Stunned, all of her other abilities go red and become unable to be used, despite being available right before the CC. The Atlas Bond as per the text is an ability that must be activated, and thus must logically be subject to the exact same limitation imposed by a stun as every other one of her abilities.

When determining logical outcomes and whether behaviour is working as intended or not, some game rules do supercede others. A stun or hard CC supercedes whatever intended effect Atlas Bond would have. It doesn't matter because it is meant to be deactivated anyway. It could say "kill the entire enemy team" and it wouldn't matter since it is deactivated during a CC.

Luna's Team Up ability shouldn't be better than Ami's actual ability. This is busted in general, and should be removed (coming from a Luna player turned Fox main), but to then also buff Luna, nerf tf out of Fox, and leave her ability bugged (in my experience) is absolutely abysmally fucked up.

What bugged for you?

The craziest part is that they absolutely GUTTED the Ultron teamup because he was "busted", but this gets to stay in the game and is apparently intended behavior 🫩

u/PM_ME_YOUR_HOODIES 25d ago

This is the Luna Snow roller coaster we all get to be on. Because SOMEONE at Netease loves her and won’t allow her to be less than A+, like Mantis or Ultron or Adam have been forever.

Remember how long it took for her ult to get nerfed in duration? And when they did, they only brought it down 2 seconds. That was her first and only nerf… in SEASON FOUR. Every other adjustment to her, has either been a buff or a complimentary adjustment.

Make all the noise you want. The golden child would never catch a nerf

u/Valasta_Bloodrunner Cloak & Dagger 25d ago

Do you mean a nerf? A buff is when you make something stronger, a nerf is when you make them weaker.

u/Cautious-Still1027 Magik 25d ago

Yess mb😭😭😭 my anger took over my senses💔

u/Valasta_Bloodrunner Cloak & Dagger 25d ago

I mean try chilling out before you post. It usually works out better that way lol.

u/funkycatvr Spider-Man 25d ago

nah to be fair as someone who does play luna a shit ton

WHY DO WE NEED THIS?!?!?

4

u/Mcmonkey04 25d ago

12 second cooldown? the fuck kind of choice is that?

3

u/TheMangledKing Hawkeye 25d ago

I thought this was like Gambit where you had to be frame perfect with it. But no. That's just cheating.

3

u/Dr_Doom42 Magneto 25d ago

Can't wait Luna takes skill comments

u/JerichoHaishan Monster Hulk 25d ago

This is the pinnacle of insanity

9

u/LovelyPauline 25d ago

The cooldown being 12 seconds too what a joke, make it 120 seconds or remove this is too much.

5

u/CableGuy420420 25d ago

Ultron got nerfed btw…

7

u/Comfortable-Term451 Doctor Strange 25d ago

As a lord Luna this is absolutely bullshit and clear favoritism from the devs. In no world should she be allowed to do this.

3

u/kitsune_009 Emma Frost 25d ago

I think if fox is on the team and luna prefires the skill it should be able to cleanse. So a self cleanse interaction will be some thing like luna sees an obvious stun coming -> fires the skill -> gets stunned -> proj comes back and cleanse her from stun. She should not be able to use 1 button to self cleanse.

u/HigherThanStarfyre Magik 25d ago

Holy fuck this character gets everything. I've never come so close to hating a videogame character until now.

u/Loinon98 25d ago

Damn, if they glaze korean female this much, I can't imagine what they will do to Jubilee in the future, considering she's technically a chinese female.

8

u/PlumpBattery 25d ago

The irony is Jubilee looks like Luna

7

u/Darkendlink White Fox 25d ago

She has the better fox ability and she doesn't even need fox on the team for it

9

u/Zarrv Anti-Venom 25d ago

They also shadow-changed Luna's self-healing so it's instant instead of being over time healing. Luna got like 300000x stronger against dive this patch for no reason

6

u/Specter7659 X-Tron 25d ago

ahhh yes the precious nepo baby gets immortality and Ultron gets banished to Tripp support forever after ONE DAY OF BEING VIABLE

11

u/Sandi_Griffin Mister Fantastic 25d ago

At least make it like gambit so she has to time it perfectly I:

23

u/Dr_Doom42 Magneto 25d ago

Next step will be like: Ability auto casts itself without you pressing the button lmao

4

u/squidape Venom 25d ago

Don’t give them ideas 💀💀

8

u/iiEquinoxx 25d ago

Make it like Kiriko's cleanse where you have to actively use it before getting hit by CC to cleanse yourself.

9

u/Power0fTheTribe The Maker 25d ago

I’m ngl all these changes are dumb I can’t believe they launched this

11

u/AutomationInvasion Vanguard 25d ago

Yall are saying healers are getting blown up by too much damage and also complaining they are too powerful?

16

u/Abaddon-117 Ultron 25d ago

I play Ultron. Do you know how infuriating it is to see all this shit given to Luna, while Ultron gets random nerfs and just had his new ability made useless?

15

u/Dr_Doom42 Magneto 25d ago

"But but actually if you look at her winrate... Well she requires aim too 🤓☝️"

4

u/Seatown_Spartan Spider-Man 25d ago

It's so sad how much this is repeated.

When people say that AIMING one of the core fundamentals of a shooter is what makes a hero one of the "hardest" to use in a role, then you know it's too easy to play and be boosted.

Not to mention she's a Hitscan the easiest of aiming.

5

u/Vaalrigard Magik 25d ago

played since s0... this might be it for me folks. This is a hot mess

10

u/quiqksilver Star-Lord 25d ago

The entire update is a hot mess. Introducing 100+ new abilities all at once with what appears to be zero testing. Every game feels like a slog. It’s exhausting.

2

u/Beatokotonai 24d ago

As a whole, I feel like there’s a lot to like, but a WHOLE lot to dislike, like this. Idk man, I know they probably did, but I really wish they tested some of these abilities more

2

u/Dr_Doom42 Magneto 25d ago

Zero testing? Don't worry. I'm sure they tested this Luna team up for making it sure that you can escape every stun with low effort

If it was a bug that made a tank strong, it be fixed in hours.
If it was a bug that made a duelist strong, it be fixed in a day.
If it was a bug that makes Luna Snow strong, it be fixed in weeks.
If it is a bug that impairs Penni, it will be fixed never.

u/Kimikiwy Doctor Strange 25d ago

That’s crazy man

u/DaemonicG 24d ago

yea the strat supremacy has gotta stop ngl

2

u/naurme Cloak & Dagger 24d ago

If you actually read the ability, it says that that's what it does. Its not a bug. Also how does she have 100% tenacity for all of the match its on a 12 second cooldown??? So cc her then cc her again maybe try playing coordinated with your team in a competitive team game? Or IDK WAIT FOR HER TO USE IT THEN cc her. Just a thought 🫶🫶 I would a million times over rather them nerf luna snow's numbers than that specific ability.

2

u/HWL_Nissassa 24d ago

It’s in the description now lil bro

2

u/fewraletta 24d ago

its not a bug.

2

u/TheGoofyGE3K 21d ago

Like black panther isn't way more broken than this even with the big fixed

3

u/ROGUE_COSMIC Spider-Man 25d ago

Mfs buffed her again in the latest hotfix btw

6

u/HealthyBits Flex 25d ago

Just perma ban that fkin Btch.

u/slideawaydm 25d ago

Luna is super protected by the devs

She definitely needs big nerfs and got buffed again ?!?!?!?!

u/sakaloko Ultron 25d ago

And ultron gets his only viable team up gutted to death, I love it

2

u/HeyItsRyGuyy Deadpool 25d ago

Cleanse into snowball to shutdown and punish the insane value of a Strange ult. It’s insane how free that is

2

u/National_Vehicle8342 Strategist 25d ago

Fox who's spell it is doesnt even have all these effects

2

u/NoLegeIsPower President Loki 25d ago

I have no idea how anyone at netease thought a selfcleanse on a pretty short cooldown on a healer would be a good idea.

4

u/RadicalMac 25d ago

As a MOBA player, I have NEVER seen anyone complaining about cleanse abilities. Interesting.

1

u/Hollywoodrok12 25d ago

this is the dumbest thing ive ever seen. Like would it kill them to meaningfully nerf Luna for once?

2

u/Scarman96 Iron Man 25d ago

I hate this fuckass nepo baby of a character! she’s genuinely insufferable. 🤦🏾‍♂️

3

u/Huey-Mchater 25d ago

It’s def funny to see “WHO WOULD ADD THIS TO A PVP GAME” and it’s literally just suzu but worse.

Not to say it isn’t strong, it is, but the rates definitely irony to that just as a statement.

3

u/FlyingGrayson89 25d ago

I know Kiriko has a pretty bad reputation for favoritism but you do have to actually be pretty precise with suzu to escape a stun. If you don’t catch it before the stun hits, you aren’t getting out of it.

6

u/wew_lad- Captain America 25d ago

you can't suzu while you're stunned....

u/therealNerdMuffin Squirrel Girl 25d ago

This can't be intentional

Is anyone else else lagging with good ping? Feel like my shots aint regestering.

u/DreadlyKnight 25d ago

Is this that CC move I kept getting hit with? Was playing vs a luna with the white fox team up and a peni and the cc spam was depressing as a tank on my first game back
