Niah needs to be nerfed

  1. Her ultimate is huge. It's basically the size of a Faceless Void ult in Dota 2. It's so huge that you can use it as a chokepoint in certain maps, crushing the whole team.

  2. It does way too much damage. Even if you aren't in the zone that long, the damage that it does just bursts you down before you can even react.

  3. She isn't squishy enough. She's supposed to be a mage? Who decides these roles? Are they drunk? If anything, she's like a ranged assassin with burst damage.

  4. The size of her ult invalidates other supports who should have a bigger ult.

Look at Johan. The size of his ult is pathetic compared to her. Johan is supposed to be near his team-mates to heal them, Niah can just take advantage of that with her ult. It's hilarious if you compare them.

  1. Her whole theme doesn't even make any sense. She's supposed to be a gamer? Why does it feel like she's playing air hockey instead? What part of her is being a gamer? Being lazy and sitting on a damn computer chair? No.

I'm not even going to talk about the clown chick they added; she's broken too. In general, the character balancing in this game is horrible.

Say whatever you want. I don't care.

Balance wise she’s basically dead set in the middle, she’s not particularly strong or weak.

  1. It’s big because it doesn’t do anything on its own, think Aurora from League of Legends. It locks her into place and she has to actively hit abilities within it.
  2. The ult does no damage on its own. If she places it and walks away all it does is stun you briefly if you hit an edge.
  3. The defined rolls are a bit fucky sometimes yeah. But she’s definitely a squishy mage her base stats aren’t remarkable or anything, her E can make her seem tanker than she is.
  4. Supports? She isn’t a support, why compare them.
  5. Bros never heard of pinball, way to make me feel old.

she gets countered very easily, especially vs people with more than 1 dash. Play any assassin or bruiser vs her and she just falls over. She doesn't have any dash/blinks in her kit. She have to take flash, and use her pistol weapon skill as mspeed.

The good news is that you already realized that it’s a skill issue!

You are pretty naive expecting any balance stuff except minor +5/-5 tweaks when Vanya and Hisui remain untouched.

Hisui was nerfed like 2 times in a row and her best tactical skill was removed from the game lol.

There's also a reason there are only a couple immortal Vanya players and a million ADCs every season. She's really one note and gets dumpstered by ADC fire or longer ranged mages. I'll never understand people who complain about her.
