Little Rant
Queens, I am so TIRED of the characters playstyles that I enjoy playing being flipped upside down and killed. I really enjoy brawl but 4/7 characters have been shot in the head playstyle/balance wise.
Angela: Completely changed her charge into a pointless cooldown while she STILL gets knocked out of the air from anyone's hot breath. Before dino was added she had several distinctive counters but you could atleast play around them, now with DevilD in every game shes damn near unplayable. She also has a handful of no regs and glitches that completely ruin engages.
Emma: Shes honestly fine and I think they've nailed everything about her from her personality, voice, kit, and some of her outfits, with them (hopefully) improving after the gala skin
Gambit: Nailed him perfectly and I really like how thay made himself a strat. His ult is still overturned but let's keep nerfing his neutral instead of the actual problem, but what do I know.
Human Torch: OML don't get me STARTED on this shell of a character. He was good for a single season due to the melee tech glitch thing that they could've easily removed. But no, Big Z. And co simply nerfed his kit around it then later removed it entirety, leaving him in a terrible spot. They then changed his plasma body and not his base movement speed so hes now slow as he'll and well as his Pyro prism is so glitchy.
Invisible Woman: She went from a strategic healer that had to think about positioning, jump cooldown, and balancing when to go invisble to heal herself or to stay in the fight to heal the team. To a character that didnt have to rely on invisibility or playing around her team mates to get through befits of her sheild with a single balance change. The season 5 (?) Balance changes to her were cool in the beguining but they were way overturned. Her self sheild made her so self sufficient with the added bonus to her range. This completely changed where she plays in team fights and removed her risky playstyle completely. She then became "Invisreal" and the devs freaked and nerfed her self fields healing, making it a worse option than just going invisible.
Iron Fist: I honestly dont mind his changes but I do wish he was less tank buster and more dive/brawl. But other than that I think hes fine.
Pheonix: Jean Grey is such an amazing character and I do wish they played more into her mental powers. Making her a CnD like support would've helped blend her with the Pheonix force like how she is now but nevertheless. I LOVEF her old playstyle when she had her melee sparks. She played more in the Frontline with tanks and could brawl easily. Yes, the bayblade tech was broken and her primary was very strong, but that coulve been fixed with a few number changes. But just like Johnny, they balanced her around a bug and then straight up removed it without any compensation which removed all the fun from the character. And now with her damage being outrageous and her explosions being season shes just another hela clone ( dont get me wrong I do enjoy hela but if I wanted to play a far ranged hitscan, I would've just played hela) Another thing that is the same with Invis is there reputation in the community that prevents any discussion of them being changed just because they are strong.
The devs have show that they really do not like to revert characters back to what they were in older seasons, but I really hope they fix these characters because they are so cool and could really use some changes.
Anyways sorry for the long vent but this feels like a place that's more accepting to criticism and feedback. Happy pride😝
