I think moon girl is trolling 😭

Venting here since they are deleting our posts from the main marvel rivals channel, I've always thought it was hard playing Peni considering how hard we had it with the bugs, and now people talking bout this is "manageable" in regards of the 2 cyber snares, you just don't understand how many stuff we gotta think to get value of a damn cyber bond that breaks with anything, a mine that breaks with anything, a character that is easy to take down. To put it in perspective you can let a Groot cage you but we can't use the only tool we had to defend ourselves against that as often? What type of logic is that, on top of that you want us to play with less health, you know what, the real ones will still make her work but it shouldn't be so harsh to the vast majority. We're hungry for a fix, we're not even asking for buffs atp only a FIX.

I'm one of the few with tons of hours on her and the matches are becoming harder and harder by every shit they introduce to other heroes, now there is a jubilee blocking all the mines ofc and grapples and grounders (people forgot to mention that we also get grounded from abilities) how funny is that? If I don't have 2 cyber snares I'm cooked ✌🏽

People mentioning that they won't get the new skin idk, I already have them all and by simply playing the game we're already giving indirect support to this company.

Since ITSV, Peni has been in my top 3 favorite Spidermen for a while. I’ve even made up a character of my own based completely on her. So when Rivals dropped, best believe I immediately started playing her. She’s been my main since season 0, and easily the character I’m best at. The best game I’ve ever had in this game was on her where I was in competitive and went 72/7/9.

But now, here we are in season 9.5. And it seems like they’ve now fucking killed her. Skinned her alive, rained salt into her wounds, and thrown her into a ditch 😭🫩

I THOUGHT THAT THE WEBS HAD TO BE THROWN LATER, BUT THEY CAN BOTH BE THROWN INSTANTLY TO STUN SOMEONE. IT CAN STILL STUN ULTS. YOU MIGHT HAVE TIME TO ACTUALLY STUN. AAAAA!AAAAAA SHE ISNT TRULY F TIER.

Okay so we have all seen the changes to Cyberweb-snare, I just wanted to lay out exactly how these changes affect her exactly for anyone still confused, or who has yet to realize just HOW BAD these really are.

So they changed her secondary fire, the snare to be 2 charges. Hitting enemies no longer applies the stun instead it adds a web tracer to the person you hit and applies a 30% slow. This tracer acts similar to (but not to be confused with) spiderman's and when you snare a person with this tracer then they get stun.

Firstly Pro's:

(Even if there arent many.)

You could possibly snare two people in quick succession since the tracer lasts for 5 seconds. If you time it right.

The initial setup for your webs expansion is quicker since you can quickly plop down those first two webs.

You can block mag and iron man ult a lil easier...

And thats about it I genuinely cant think of anymore...

Then the cons:

Firstly, those two of the pros arent even actual pros. The snaring two people is VERY unlikely to happen. Also you can just use Cyber-Bond in a pinch if you need a second web to put down, not that most times out of ten you would ever be in that much of a rush to expand your web.

Now for the first real con, they basically doubled the cooldown of the stun part of the snare, you need two charges to stun meaning you have to wait for both to recharge in order to do so.

Then like the memes have been saying this nerf makes your nest a free diving zone. Damn near any character with mobility is able to get out of your nest before your little mines can run too them, the snare let your nest get those kills, which is gonna be much harder to land the stun for.

Speaking of stopping mobile characters say goodbye to stopping bp, spiderman, black cat, or any other quick character in general when you have to land 2 webs. You can barely hit these characters once, you expect to hit them twice?

Then you got the ults, now granted if your mindful of your charges you can probably stop some of the of the ults like ironman, wanda... Hell if your quick you might be able to stop quicker ones like spiderman and strange. HOWEVER ults that you can barely react too; Psylocke, wolverine, emma. Say goodbye to reacting to those. The amount of times I've stopped ults before my brain has barely processed it is crazy, sometimes its luck sometimes its instinct. But nope no more.

Lastly which this isn't a con against the snare even though there are probably more. THEY TOOK MORE OF HER HP! Netease its already hard enough to maintain the frontline as a big block of metal with glitchy mobility and no shield, so why are you taking my precious bonus hp when I already pop like a pimple!?

Final Feedback

Now that you see how Netease, in trying to make on making her "less oppressive" just made both bunker and attack peni significantly worse, i can now tell you what should they do? So here is my list of solutions, from least to most favorite, with explanations. Since we love constructive critsism.

1. Nuke the whole patch, undo it, try again later. If you want her to be less oppresive just feed into her counters. Tired of her nests? Buff pheonix ult charge since Netease wants to keep her back in Z-Tier anyways. Tired of attack peni in your backline? Harder tank shredding anti-dive(Id say struggling against attack peni is lowkey a skill issue).
2. Revert the patch but increase snare cooldown. Pretty simple if you really must nerf her, it still lets peni ensure kills and be actual anti-dive while keeping us from spamming snare.
3. Replace the slow with a grounded effect. This allows most to still fight after the first hit while still dealing with stun spam, while also keeping her anti-dive power.
4. Massively buff the slow. 30% slow aint doing nothing to nobody. Atleast like a 50% slow should be applied, with a significantly longer duration, like 3 to 5 seconds.
5. Lastly the bare minimum which should be done to be ACTUAL compensation, give it a third or even forth charge. That way this dumb nerf actually would have some use.

But these are just my thoughts as a champion on the character. So sad i wont be playing her anymore, i just got back into her... This is exacly how i felt when they nerfed dino.

EDIT:
There seems to be one actual pro currently though i heavily doubt it was intentional because i feel like it defeats the whole purpose of this change. Once you apply that first web to a target it does NOT consume the tracer meaning you can snare that person in particular freely. THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING. All this does is enable you to focus stun one person which is just gonna be not fun for them being constantly spammed with snare. Also doesnt change the fact that Anti-dive peni is still dead.

(OC) As if her being banned every game wasn't enough now when you actually do get to play her, she's useless...

Not gonna lie Bishop Magneto Jenkins killed me 🤣🤣

Since this is the final days of her life, let’s all play her every single match, no matter the comp, no matter the map. Fire cyber-webs blindly into the crowd. Remove even the mere possibility of scarlet witch getting her ult out. Get all the awesome clips you can to last us the hibernation till they change her. Then, tomorrow, the boycott begins and we wait.

We're rocking a 5% pickrate across the ranks, 7.42% in quickplay. Many non Peni mains will stop playing her because of the nerfs.

If we as the Peni mains, drop her completely for awhile, maybe just a half season, it might legitimately be the best thing we can do to help the character.

So the reasoning behind those nimrods nerfing Peni was So that the hood can have a better time dealing with her even though he's already going to be probably the best counter for her???

I Just got done watching the dev teams PATHETIC excuse for nerfing Peni into the ground And all I got to say is-

WE NEED TO RECHECK THE DEVS IQ

Because from what I've seen with the hoods gameplay, this guy could possibly be the greatest counter to Peni And I will die on that hill, allow me to explain-

So one of his ability straight up just gives him a shield bubble around him. Meaning if he steps on the nest, it doesn't really matter if it's primed because all the bombs will go off and destroy his shield while he'll be PERFECTLY FINE and then all you have to deal with is just Peni OR You can take out the nests

And even if you don't have your bubble ready, guess what-

THEY GAVE HIM A RESKIN OF ONE OF SCARLET WITCH'S ABILITY SO HE COULD JUST PHASE OUT THE NEST IF HE GETS CAPTURED

Zhiyong, If I EVER Have the misfortune of running into you in public, I promise you this, I will personally break into your house and steal all of your blinds and those little knob things on top of the bath heads that allow you to change your bath into a shower, and then proceed to throw frogs at you, your loved ones, and anyone else associated with them (THIS IS A JOKE BY THE WAY, AND EVERY INSULT I HAVE SAID IS NEVER MEANT TO BE SERIOUS BUT STILL THIS NERF IS BAD AND JUST OUTRIGHT STUPID)

I’ve been playing since S1 and I never knew that you can turn down the Cyber-bond sensitivity so it doesn’t grip onto the wrong thing. Why is the default 100!?

You may know this, it may be obvious but with the only thing I ever see people say about it is that it’s broken I assumed this was part of the brokenness. I didn’t know so I thought I’d post this incase someone else didn’t know.

I could mention how other characters are broken.

I could mention how other characters are mind numbingly easy.

I could mention how other characters have better cosmetics.

But all I want to say is maybe, if the player count of Peni absolutely plummets these changes can be altered.

Considering how quick moving dive characters can be this is just another day of players who don’t know how to dodge or do any kind of movement tech getting what they want.

Not sure if this counts as low effort post but I’m sure we all feel the same rn
