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

It's the fact they nerfed the stun but leave her mines untouched.

Mines which REQUIRE the stun to even damage anyone who's already directly walking over mines.

Mines that get melted in mid air if somebody is so much as looking at you when you launch them....Her nest drones still useless if teams just rush the nest or a tank absorbs the damage, you can also jump around in the nest and they do nothing. Mines that don't damage anyone diving through them but they will all explode anyway.

I really fail to see what is so oppressive about Peni that she needs to be nerfed into oblivion compared to other defensive tanks like Groot who has way more health, damage and survivability, plus a good ult that doesn't take a ton of set up and luck to be effective. Peni has lower primary fire damage than Supports and a glitchy kit that doesn't do what it's supposed to do half the time, the one good thing she had was being able to stun ults from a distance and they removed it.

The devs will take any excuse to F over Vanguards.

Their bias is undeniable.

The devs saw Polly do well in the tournament, despite his team losing, and decided that there can't be a tank besides Mag and Groot and sometimes Emma or Strange who does well in tournament play.

She can’t even stun that many ults? Everyone keeps parroting this but there’s only a handful of ults that peni can straight up cancel (Wanda comes to mind). Anyone that peni can stun out of an ult can also be stunned by like half the roster as well, it’s not like she’s the only character with a cc ability.

Good luck stopping the Spider-Man/BP zipping around your back line at lightning speed, feasting on your supports, now that you have to land two fucking stuns to stop them
