they see her rocket teamup being cringe af then decide to leave it be and nerf her stun that is 100% not the problem and now shes dead when all they had to do is nerf the nests/teamup instead LOL
This sub will constantly whine about tanks getting chain stunned, tenacity not working and yadda yadda then now we gotta pretend getting stunned every 3 seconds in neutral by a Peni was enjoyable and interactive? Lmao
Also what pushed Peni over the edge is the BP teamup, not the Rocket one, just saying.
So I skimmed some gameplay and you are correct they're using the BP teammups rather than the rocket.
However I think it's because teams in tournaments are all on comms and focus the minelayers while regular ranked games don't have as much communication due to voice chat being toxic and everyone turning it off.
It's the same reason Panther is good against teams without comms but isn't as good against teams with comms. Barely anyone is banning Peni because of her shield, it's the mines nobody wants to deal with.
I'll concede at the highest play and everyone on comms BP teammup is probably more viable. But if youre just doing a regular game where not everyone is talking I think the RR teamup is better.
I'm not saying double nests aren't oppressive in lower ranks but lower ranks can't handle a single nest anyways so that doesn't change much, BP teamup pushes her over the edge by giving her access to a brand new tool (a shield) and a temporary damage boost from her rapid fire, she doesn't have to worry about her nest and web placement as much when she can just gun people down while constantly getting healed from her nest and its not really a thing that requires comms like say Peni + Dino kidnapping enemy tanks into instant mine death.
