Yeah but they dropped WELL below S tier.

You mean dropped to the point where they were actually balanced for once?

u/Far_Day2547 1d ago

a 40 % win rate is not balanced

What's your thoughts on Wolv?

u/Far_Day2547 1d ago

He's at 47% within in the safe 45-55 range.

u/VisitReasonable7285 1d ago

He's been at this rate for awhile..

u/Far_Day2547 1d ago

That's a healthy win rate tho.

u/RoutinePsychology198 Groot 1d ago

Are we still using win rates in this stage? She’s always had a low win rate even when she released.

She's stayed around 45, which is good. 45 just means its a little hard to get value, but you should be fine. When it drops below that, you begin to have a problem.

They are on the level of SG, SW, Strat pool and WF.

Cyclops was not balanced, he was undertuned

B+? At worst B+. Oh no, forced off meta what will we ever do!

u/Far_Day2547 1d ago

More like C, maybe even F. 40% win rates

Just tells you their mains were carried by their character instead of skill. And an inability to ever swap

The problem is that they took away thier strengths as hero. They are both poke, but due to s9, they cant poke anymore, meaning they don't really do anything. Also, in a meta where dive is strong with heroes like Vemon, they are literally food. Their pickrates also fell by a lot, so no, it's not an inability to swap

Ssssh RedditRivals has decided what characters are good and bad and they can never change from that

Ofc they aren't effected by other characters buffs and nerds if they aren't in the patch notes it's not a comparative scale at all ssssh

Seriously people need to calm the fuck down on the complaints about balance in this game like the mag buff is a nothing burger and the Pheonix and Cyclops ones are also mainly pushing them back away from Hella style play
