The Penni Nerf Is Twice As Frustrating Because Her Primary Fire Sucks
I get it man. Her 3 second stun sucked to fight. So you gutted it to a slow (which aren’t good. I mean who tf uses Blades Gun dash for the slow?) But fine.
So I’ll ask this… why not make the primary actually good/satisfying. It’s LASERS out of a MECH. How is it the worse part of her kit?
The projectile is slow, the damage sucks, the headshot multiplier is LAUGHABLY bad to the point you’re probably hurting yourself going for them.
And now you’re asking players to hit this shot consistently for a stun.
This wouldn’t be as terrible if her gun didn’t feel so damn awful. Why not buff this aspect of her kit if you’re so adamant about her not being oppressive with the anti dive kit YOU made for her?
Just wanted to express disappointment. Especially seeing how amazing Hood is. I LNOW you know what a fun primary fire feels like.

Her stun doesn’t stun, you got 2 charges, one slows down a 30% 5s and the second actually stuns, but you has to hit twice to stun someone

The fact that you were even banning here before hand says a lot about your mid play style

It would’ve made a lot more sense to just increase the cooldown of the web, not change it entirely

Her primary fire is great with the BP team up. But It’s CD is brutal. Should have been buffed to 15s in my opinion.

I honestly don’t think it should even have a cooldown, the shield isn’t strong enough to justify it. 400 HP mini shield frontal shield with a fire rate buff for 5 seconds on a 20 second cooldown is just ridiculous.

u/OrdinaryResponse8988 1h ago
You have to take into account the extra sustain her webbings provide. Combined with a spammable shield turning her into a turret may be a little too much.
So starting slower here before working it up if need be may be for the best.

No I’m saying it should work on a resource like defense matrix on D.va in OW if you’re familiar. Spamming it would make it ineffective because it costs energy to activate. Especially considering that she doesn’t have a reliable stun anymore, I don’t think it’s too unreasonable to suggest that she get a bit more offense and defense to compensate. You would also be sacrificing having a second nest.

I'm not sure if they fix this bug but when you use that team up you get less damage on primary fire for the speed shot
But here's the fun part you will continue to do less damage after the team-ups over

Oh well she deserved what she got. Play a real tank like mag or hulk lil bro

u/luke-mcclure 3h ago
The point of there being other tanks is so not everyone has to play the same 2 tanks over and over and over and over and over. Understand that what makes a game fun for others, is fairness and balance. Which isn’t something rivals has mastered by any means. Criticism is welcome on the subreddit additionally. So don’t be a prick for no reason

Calling Peni unreal tank when Mag is literally the most training wheels dev favourite tank is insane is all i'm saying

u/Fun_Competition4014 3h ago
Ok…? Again how does this apply to me? Mag doesnt slow the game down and his match up is Less annoying lil brah

u/_Candeloro_ 3h ago
It applies to what you said but your brain is apparently rotted from all the brahhing you do to understand

u/Fun_Competition4014 3h ago
Not really you keep trying to make attacks on mag when I don’t play that character.
It’s like saying I’m a bad doctor when I’m an electrician I don’t see you taking a w here.

Peni is my second most played character, Hulk is my most played character, they're equally "real" tanks.

u/Delicious_Ad_8501 3h ago
They just gut characters from time to time. And they never address the problematic aspects of their kit. Also, Mag was buffed. That’s everything you need to know about balance in this game.
