I wanted to see what others think of for patch 3.9.
I would generally write my own opinions in a lengthy fashion, but I feel they are not fully formed yet and lack proper arguments.
In a TL;DR fashion:
-
Most Captains are ok, but I feel like they should adjust Phinn’s perk if they want to kick him out of the meta and stop buffing Lance cause his kit is simply not suitable for the 5v5 environment.
-
Anka is just too relevant. For me personally, I think they should nerf the damage on her A’s on-hit damage and Blink damage, so she has to use her B before landing a basic attack to finish her target off.
-
Baron nerfs in 3.9 really took CP Baron down decently. I haven’t seen much of him in Blitz spamming his A with his Epic Talent. Good riddance to a near uncounterable annoyance.
-
Magnus I feel was already in a good spot prior to his buffs. The certainly buff parts of him I think we’re already good. It’s not his late game that should be buffed, it is his wave clear that needs attention I feel. But hey, guess we’ll see how this will go down as we head to 4.0.
-
Blackfeather is still nowhere to be seen despite his buffs. I feel he is like Lance - good kit but overall unsuited to the 5v5 landscape after his B lost its slow.
-
Same can be said for Kestrel. Where is she? Haven’t seen her past the previous One for All game mode last weekend.
-
I feel they should tweak Ozo’s B a bit. Something to make him a bit more relevant. Other than that, he seems pretty balanced overall.
-
Petal… well poor her. She’s just doesn’t seem to be loved by anyone nowadays.
Well, those are what I feel like saying.
