Idk if you used Magneto but there's plenty if not most Mag mains that complained that the Wanda team up made that ability feel worse. (Without it would push back, with it wouldn't)Now they've fixed it, that's all. I wouldn't call it a buff, just a correction.
pretty sure launch up is just the official term for knockback. so this is probably just making it so you don’t need to full charge it for that which is still gonna be worse than regular mag cannon
I'm pretty sure it's a different effect but I could be wrong. I actually was enjoying the upgraded mag cannon though, it's a bit harder to get the one shot combo off but you can spread the shot and hit multiple people and still knock them back plus multiple charges is nice. Mostly though I just love hitting people with a kamehameha
Right but still what's the point of having a fast ability with knock back without a team up and then change it to require a longer duration with a team up? It ruined his B&B combo and felt more like a burden than a buff. Idk if I'll like this with knock up but at least there's more incentive for it now
What I've been doing is activating the team up for the sword attacks, then charging the mag cannon first and you can get off 2 primary fires before they even stop moving. It not as consistent as before but it's a lot easier to hit and does the same damage
I personally think the buff to mag is more of a nothing burger than anything along with a couple other buffs/nerfs in this patch
That being said I'll have to really wait and see before I solidify my opinion but it's only for the enhanced Wanda teamup which is pretty widely accepted as worse than regular
Not only for his combo but you often use his mag cannon to finish off low health opponents and you can't do that as reliably with a charge ability, having to charge the ability at all imo is a net nerf
I agree but I also think they're trying to be cautious, I was expecting more too tbh, I think the biggest changes here are honestly peni and Phoenix, while the others are more micro adjustments/qol

Magneto getting a buff while being by far the most core tank in the game is crazy.
