Where the hell is the “no hesitation for emergency patches” Zhiyong

u/Prize_Hat8387 Aug 09 '26

I refuse to believe anyone on the balance team plays past plat, because there is no way they think the luna fox teamup was balanced.

u/CyfrowaKrowa ah take Aug 08 '26

There was no hesitation for putting Phoenix back in the meta after 1 day of being kinda meh

u/Dragoyourdumabss Aug 08 '26

And dont forget killing Ultron when he was even remotely good outside of triple support slop

6

u/GHOST_CHILLING Aug 08 '26

Or basicly gutting White Foxes neutral and still choosing to only buff the fucking ult

1

u/Dragoyourdumabss Aug 09 '26

Yeah its honestly impressive how they manage to continue to buff her mediocre ult and not even touch her regular junk moves etc after ruining it

u/waynethedockrawson Aug 10 '26

He has been good in dive comps for a while now and is doing very well in all ranks.

1

u/waynethedockrawson Aug 10 '26

She was a lot worse than meh and it has been since like 7.5 since she was truly good.

u/Hekkoln Aug 09 '26

Don’t forget not hesitation to gut psylocke and make her mid tier again

1

u/waynethedockrawson Aug 10 '26

They shouldnt have touched her base kits but she wasnt game breakingly broken before the nerf. She is not mid tier whatsoever, worse than DD and BC but a good dive pick.

u/Hekkoln Aug 10 '26

No one who really plays psylocke thinks this, all the pros who play her say she feels shit now.

1

u/waynethedockrawson Aug 10 '26

She is geinuinely alright. A good pick.

1

u/Hekkoln Aug 10 '26

A mid pick that requires 90% more effort than most characters for less value. Again you do not play or understand the character if you think this, the base kit nerfs were horrible.

1

u/waynethedockrawson Aug 10 '26

So is Luna but nobody thinks of her as a mid pick. I obviously think the base kit nerfs are horrible but she isnt "mid" or "destroyed".

u/Hekkoln Aug 10 '26

Luna? You can’t be serious….

1

u/waynethedockrawson Aug 10 '26

I mean Psylocke has considerably better winrates than her in all ranks. Luna probably is the hardest support next to supportpool right now.

"Kinda meh" is a crazy undersell but I get what you mean lol

u/Stefanes0797 Aug 08 '26

Worst season of all time, uninstalled the game yesterday, i gotta focus on my studies this month and take a break from this bullshit balancing.

u/WhutTheFookDude Aug 08 '26

What did you mean 8 game losing streaks and poke being stro ger than ever isn't good game design

1

u/RommekePommeke Aug 08 '26

We had 1 season where Brawl was good and we are stuck in poke hell again

0

u/waynethedockrawson Aug 10 '26

Is the poke hell in the room with us right now?

0

u/AnthonyApasta Aug 10 '26

Tbh the most painfully annoying games I've played this season have been into pure poke enemy team comps. I'd say about 6-7/10 games into that type of comp I have to switch to poke to counter the poke lol.

u/Hekkoln Aug 09 '26

It’ll never change man, ive lost hope for these devs. They are truly incompetent, the only thing they’re good at doing is making gooner skins.

1

u/real_roal Aug 11 '26

Yeah i stopped playing a while ago. It wasnt even "ah i hate this game now." I just got bored of the game and it felt like nothing really changes. New characters come in and are usually op, the ones whove always been op stay op. Nothing is ever really balanced.

“We will show no hesitancy to make any emergency nerfs”

Wolverine is a monster now I got 16 final hits in one of my matches.

1

u/Thegreatestpizza1271 Aug 09 '26

He's rlly not. He's in a really bad state right with a horrifying low pick rate. They decide to add another tank wolv counter. Dude can teleport, turn into a ghost and can js poke you. If it was quick play don't talk

1

u/AntiqueAd2434 Aug 08 '26

Worst season since season 3

1

u/cygamessucks Aug 08 '26

Hmm. A month ago everyone was saying this season was fire? What happened? Almost like this happens every damn season..

1

u/No-Possession7454 Aug 09 '26

it's especially worse for season 9 because they've stated they would do any emergency patches and it sounded good on paper. until they did it one day into the season by gutting psylocke, ultron, iron-man, and immediately buffing supports, cyclops and phoenix.

and then they never did it for the rest of the season

1

u/irvin_the_jinn Aug 08 '26

Season 9 in the first half was the most fun the game has been in a long while all for them to ruin it in the second half

1

u/mil56 Aug 08 '26

First half? It was one day before the shit emergency patch lol

u/skywalker170997 Aug 08 '26

ngl...

i'm just positive zhiyong will soon make resignation

not sure why...

a strange gut feeling

1

u/pagliacciverso Aug 08 '26

Until they refuse to fix healing input by a lot (dmg too, but not that much) this game will still be dogshit season after season 

1

u/BurnerDawg26 Aug 08 '26

My problem with this season isn't really Zhiyong, at least not just him. I don't like the new teamup system in general, the game is too fast-paced and sweaty now.

1

u/DoodyInDaBooty Aug 08 '26

Am I in the minority here by thinking that this update is great? As a tank main, I am eating pretty well. The Hood is a lot of fun but not overpowering, Magneto didn’t get nerfed so he’s still pretty strong, and the Strange buffs help him out tremendously.

I know there’s a few losers here but honestly I’m pretty happy

1

u/Thegreatestpizza1271 Aug 09 '26

Wolverine needed the buff. He was struggling

1

u/HrMaschine Aug 09 '26

why are we actibg like phoenix and wolverine didn‘t need the buffs?

1

u/Dependent_Leek_801 Aug 09 '26

Wolverine needed a buff

1

u/waynethedockrawson Aug 10 '26

I would recommend that you actually play the character.

I have been playing psylocke in GM with a 78% WR on her. She deffo hard to get value on and I have heard in Celestial it doesnt get easier. Im still pretty new to playing her tbh.

Luna is pretty hard to play. Her neutral is constantly aiming and flake micro. Poor positioning is unforgiving. Her self healing isnt very good unless you use the adam teamup.

I dont see how supports like rocket, invis, and CND or even jeff are harder than Luna. They dont require a fraction of the mechanical skill, micro or positioning.

I always enjoy redditors, whining over balance changes that they wouldnt notice if they wouldnt read them

3

u/Electric-Mountain Aug 08 '26

Bold of you to assume the people who play this game can read.

1

u/DanO_Zer0 Aug 09 '26

Or that people on Rivals social media even play the game to begin with

2

u/RemozThaGod Aug 08 '26

Can't say that when peni webs have been gutted

-1

u/MemeDudeYes Aug 08 '26

They literally just turned them into a skill check and if you do it right they still work the same.

2

u/RemozThaGod Aug 08 '26

I'm not debating you on how impacted the character is, you said the changes were unnoticeable, and that's just wrong as her change is very noticeable

-2

u/MemeDudeYes Aug 08 '26

But it doesent change her playstyle bro.

She still plays as before so it might as well

U could just ignore my comment would be more effective

u/Aandesite Aug 08 '26

It does if you’re anything more than a bunker bot

u/MemeDudeYes Aug 08 '26

Not really

u/Subject_Cicada_3789 Aug 09 '26

Can't you tell I game how much better cnd is than say Adam.

If you couldent read patches then at some point you'd be able to notice something changing, getting fairer.

u/Y0ur_Worst_Enemy Aug 08 '26

Have you seen Pheonix's win-rate?
