As a Peni main, I really, REALLY don't understand why they brought back Rocket Network. It just makes Peni too good at her job, without really adding anything interesting or fun to her kit. They either need to replace it, or massively nerf it.

Currently, it produces 10 Spiderbots, adding 400 (40 per bot) potential damage to Peni nests, effectively doubling her nest damage when deployed, which is far too much damage. Lowering the max amount of bots for the second nest down to 6 (240) or 4 (160), would likely be the best way to nerf it. However, I still believe the teamup being removed is best for the overall health of the game, and Peni as a character.

Now Vibranium Mech on the other hand, is an absolutely amazing teamup idea! I'd argue the only problem with it is that the shield health for that duration just feels too long. 20 seconds for a 300 HP shield (400 HP with BP on your team) could probably be taken to 18 (maybe even 16) seconds with how quickly shields break.

Is it skins? Balancing? Hero fantasy? Difficulty? What exactly leads to these being our current (as of the 8/4/26 data) bottom 10?

Repost since the original got taken down on the main sub.

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.

No Hulk, No SP//dr, just hands.

Such a shame we'll never see this happen in game.
