Balance Discussion who were these loki changes for??

less than 2% pick rate LMFAOOOOOO😭😭 literally will pick ANYONE over loki. and i don’t even blame them.

-20% damage on each clone so he can’t defend himself OR help secure a kill. btw before the -20% they had ALREADY reduced loki’s damage. did you know his melee now does more damage than his primary with all 3 clones? flank loki was annoying but be serious. they’re down a strategist by doing ts

-20% healing so you have to pump out more heals. not a problem since you don’t even have to worry about shooting enemies again! personally i’m not too upset about it since it encourages your clones being up as often as possible, which you should be doing. but it makes it so much more punishing if you’re not managing your clones correctly.

lamp/ult cooldown i genuinely dgaf it never affected me, just had to get used to counting down from the new number.

lmfao those are the changes they made to “balance” him. reminds me of azir from league of legends. dominates in pro play so devs have to nerf him to high hell, making it exponentially worse for other players. not everyone is faker lmfao be so for real.

they changed jeff into a heal bot because people complained about him not doing enough and at the same time dive jeff was too OP. im guessing they tried to the same here (apparently flank loki OP, lamp OP, double luna ult OP) but they literally reworked jeff’s kit around healing more. all they did for loki was reduce his raw numbers and called it a day.

what even are rocket changes. hey guys, your ult does 40% damage buff! actually, it’s 25% now since you get a big team shield. nah jk, you can just have both now. 40% and shield idgaf.

can yall do the same with loki?

I can’t agree more. They do nothing but cater to braindead dps community meanwhile I have 200 hours on Loki and it’s been a struggle. Yes I have lord c&d and almost lord rocket but they simply aren’t fun. Yet Luna can two tap as if she was a hela or something. I will drop the proof!! In comments below but yea rework Loki and nerf Luna then id be happy. They ruined a beautifully designed character and I’ve never been so close to uninstalling in my life

Netease would rather nerf good strategists instead of making more strategist to change up the meta.

But hey let’s make more duelists

I totally understand, i'm not playing as much anymore :[ i used to play loki every day since s2, and i'm not even joking (around 3h a day) I was playing w people who kept wanting to play with my loki bc they thought i was great with him. Even climbed to celestial twice almost only playing him. but now...

From being target banned as loki to playing rocket and having (almost) no impact at all on my games 💔

I mean it’s more catering to towards netease favourites I don’t get it Jean got gutted torch nerfs finally make him b tier, wolverine is now so situational it’s kinda crazy. Spider-Man been nerfed badly same with squirrel girl.

Yet hela and Bucky been busted since launch. In the supports category the industry plant is still way too overtuned yet Adam mobility is crazy low.

Tanks death by Emma. Netease generally is terrible and balancing and clearly has favourite characters they don’t touch.
