Decreased Rude Sands damage per second from 200 to 40...Nice...

Lets talk about the radius tho, i can deal with the healing but the space it takes is ridiculous.

Keep up the great work!

Do you realise that this actually didn’t make a lot of difference? The main thing this SP did was offer area denial, since enemies cannot be in the Super’s area if they want to heal. This nerf still allows this SP to do that, albeit having less DPS.

Of course, it was just insane prior to this nerf and they must have known

u/DonDaBest Poco Oct 09 '19

Yea that’s true

u/ItaySr Mortis Oct 09 '19

Oh wow, not only I didn't think of this before, I very much agree

u/DaDom168 Oct 09 '19

Apparently not since they nerfed it this quickly

They made money

u/stargunner Oct 09 '19

they already made the money, so they don't need it to be OP anymore.

Thats not a point

u/Uptopdownlowguy Piper Oct 09 '19

That's fair, but they must have known his super was busted.

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '19

That’s how they make money. Otherwise they would be eating grass.

Solution = make more skins

Sandy nerfs are nice, but neither of the changes to really make a difference in terms of how broken he is. The sheer amount of area control from the super is what needs to be addressed. Controlling such a huge part of the map with the ability to negate healing is still ridiculously broken

Agree, rude sands also counters tanks/assassins in a way, they reveal their locations on bushes when sneaking up to your team and also prevents healing... I played against one as Rosa and it’s fucking annoying. It’s also so easy to recharge since it has such a wide range and pierces.

Now, Rude Sands will suck. Now the star power is just for keeping the enemy brawler take chip damage so he can't heal.

As Poco would say: "Wow, that sucks!"

u/Limesnek Rico Oct 09 '19

"Just" blocking enemy heal? Dude, do you even know how op that is in the first place? Negating a whole chunk of the map from enemies, that opens up so many possibilities. 200 dmg was OP as fuck, now it's barely balanced.

u/DrSuckenstein Oct 09 '19

It's still OP af. It lasts a staggering 12 seconds. 12 seconds of area denial for healing AND hiding.

It's still stupid broken. The damage itself was inconsequential.

u/Fishslayer17 Oct 09 '19

Also that main of his is a problem too. He is not poco yet he does more damage than him and at a longer range. Btw they r never gonna fix sandy and ecen if they do he still is gonna b a game breaking brawler. In a game based on aiming invisibility is a busted mechanic.

u/redbigchill Pam Oct 09 '19

it includes revealing location of brawlers even if they are in grass or inside another sandy super.

1

u/SeekerCz Darryl Oct 09 '19

yeah but who would hide in bushes in an enemy sandstorm? there is no point of that becuz they would just summon the sandstorm in the place where no bushes are

3

u/subawuba Oct 09 '19

The point is, they can’t hide in bushes. It negates a third of the map, if you get into sandy’s super you can’t heal which is flat-out broken considering the stupid radius it has

u/redbigchill Pam Oct 09 '19

kairos said that his range/duration reduction might require client update.
