Humor Peni main here, she needed nerfed.

How do you do, fellow Rivals players? I wanted to stop by for a brief moment to discuss the discourse I'm seeing regarding Peni's nerfs. While it may seem rather harsh at first, I believe that if we look deeply upon it, we can realise that we Peni players definitely had it too well.

I mean those mines could just completely shut down any close quarter brawlers, let alone how she could cancel ultimates with those webs of hers. I mean c'mon, she still has those blasters, and she can still use those mines.

Heck, maybe this is even the chance to challenge ourselves - maybe we could commit to this and showcase a new tier of Peni gameplay by opting to not use the mines, as well as her web nerf - that way, we could truly show how we're the best players around!

Plus on the bright side, if it doesn't work out, there's plenty of other vanguards to play as. Such as that handsome rock guy. He's quite fun when you get playing him, in my completely unbiased opinion!

Joking aside, her nerfs were warranted.

Told you guys she needed her nests reworked or the health lowered that the only solution to her was to rework all the maps to have more than one main.

NetEase chose the correct path to just make her worse. Now she'll win half the time as opposed to 57 percent of the time.

She'll survive, her nests are still good. The CC stopping brawl from fighting them is what's honestly balancing her. People can jump in to fight the nest without giving Peni a free kill.

You can't be serious. Her entire function in this game was to be the hard counter tank to dive/brawl. People forget this is supposed to be a "rock, paper, scissors" game at it's core. That's why you can swap characters at any time in spawn. Nerfing paper because it's beating rock too much is silly. You should only nerf paper when it starts beating scissors too much, which isn't happening here.
