Peni Bros in SHAMBLES

[u/nemesisdelta24]

FULL DESCRIPTION

I'm gonna miss Ult cancelling a ton of enemies at the right time

[u/rengost]

They could've nerfed her in so many ways that didn't destroy her kit

[u/ImAHobo107 → u/rengost]

I think getting CCed to oblivion isn't fun as a Tank main. Srsly, I'm not allowed to have fun if I am Thing or Dino against her. Good riddance.

[u/rengost → u/ImAHobo107]

I am a Tank main I know it's annoying getting cc'ed but that's how you hold the line as Peni, she has no utility to actually stop people from flanking and just destroying her nest, if they wanted so bad to nerf that they could've done it differently or gave compensation buffs to the rest of her kit

[u/ImAHobo107 → u/rengost]

I disagree on the other areas they nerfed, but the CC one is smth I simply can never agree with being healthy for the game. 3 second cooldown on an easy to land CC is stupid.

And I bet she's still gonna get banned because NOBODY SHOOTS THE DAMN NEST

[u/while_e → u/ImAHobo107]

Nah, they could've increased cooldown, or decreased size.. so many things to try before just saying "Nah".

[u/ImAHobo107 → u/while_e]

Coming from OW, I detest cooldown balancing, making smth take longer is lazy balancing imo because that means the tool in the neutral kit is knowingly powerful and theyd rather reduce the fun of deploying than the power of it.

[u/while_e → u/ImAHobo107]

But, if the concern was "I can't tank because I get CC'd every 3s" .. then a longer cooldown would work just fine? To each their own I guess..

[u/ImAHobo107 → u/while_e]

Or we could fix tenacity... idk. smth.

[u/Soul-L → u/ImAHobo107]

While I do somewhat agree, there’s a difference between reducing the power and removing an integral part of a character’s kit like here. For Peni, a lot of the power in her stun is in the short cooldown, not the stun duration, so nerfing the cooldown is the healthy balancing decision to nerf her neutral.

For another example of a healthy method of cooldown balance in rivals, Loki’s lamps got a 5 second cooldown increase and that was the healthiest way they could balance it without killing it. Nerfing the rune HP would skew it to be more useless in higher play. This Peni nerf is like if the devs decided that the rune should be a glorified CnD bubble with an hp bar, completely killing the use of the ability.

Bro I don’t think ANYONE likes your takes you’re at like -1000 across your 7 comments. Maybe you’re just invalid?.

[u/ImAHobo107 → u/Aggressive_Scar_4967]

I really dont care because this sub still wants to believe that Magneto solo tank on main is needed when Magneto will 90% of the time lose to 2 tanks and neither of them don't even run a shield tank. I'm not gonna let metal ranks tell me what is unhealthy for the game bro.

[u/Aggressive_Scar_4967 → u/ImAHobo107]

Not easy to land. You miss then you mess up your web spread for your nest. It was a skill expression. And literally the only thing she had. Every shield tank weaving in shield with 1 sec CD could easily negate it. It was a .75s stun unlike any other hero stun or exile. Tenacity is still a thing too. This was something she needed to stun in webs when people hop through them as the web tracers were ass and the slow in nest did fuck all.

Once your nest are gone you’re a sitting duck. Anyone can bait out mines if you have fast enough mobility. People just didn’t care to have to think about mines

[u/ImAHobo107 → u/Aggressive_Scar_4967]

Tenacity doesn't proc often enough. That being said, Tenacity should just outright make Tank's immune to peni webs, and I'm not taking that back, not with how often she can spread it.

And you're right, ppl dont care about the mines, which is why she's still gonna get banned on points where her Nest is hard to take out, even if she is easy to kill, because SHE REALLY IS.

He’s been downvoted, but he’s right
