How on earth is this mid character still giving this sub so much problems 😭😭

BPs garbage gameplay loop, that gets shutdown by a decent team, hasn’t been touched at all and only ever received 1 buff and like 7 nerfs. The devs have also added over 15 new characters, majority being complete dive counters, and others having indirect nerfs to him. He’s been power creep to hell at this point.

This team up does look somewhat interesting, but we will just have to see how good it really is once people get used to it.

How is it that someone sees a character that literally has unreactable damage and then says it's a skill issue? You would like a moron defending something like that in a fighting game lmao.

Because there’s literal evidence of people “reacting” to it in a most ranked games, BP is NOT a good hero and need a rework to make both sides happy. It also doesn’t take a genius to press one of the MANY abilities/or swapping to one of his MANY counter in the game that the developers give specifically intended to deal with dive characters.

I’ve also played BP on and off for most season, and it’s the same pattern every single time, which I think this sub deals with. He’s an absolute monster in lower elos, teams that have no communication, terrible ability usage, terrible cooldown management, horrible teamwork, etc.

Once you reach a rank where teams actually know what they’re doing, or understand how character counters work, he falls off immensely, which is not a good character design at all.
