Character Balance: The Forum's Impressions Poll

General Discussion
1

I don’t want arguing, I just want to know what the general consensus on the forums is on the current character balance. I’d like as many people to participate as possible to give the devs our best feed back. Please be honest.

I will add Eyedol to the poll at the end of the week, because he’s too new to put on the poll today.

Jago: Very solid character, one of the best balanced characters.
Wulf: heavy momentum character in some MU. Once he gets it,he is really good
Glacius: a monster this season, can be very dominant. Maybe instinct tracking puddle punch could be toned down,not sure.
Thunder: a beast, hits hard, has options… IMO L shamannishm souldn’t be fully invulnerable, and skyfall sould be more negative on block
Sadira: underused character, some s3 MU can be very hard for her.
Orchid: very solid character, I like a lot her current version
Spinal: solid character, shadow searing skull not breakable seems odd, I dont know… but not a big deal
Fulgore: solid character. I dont have any suggestions about balancing him
Tj: underused character, a real monster in good hands. No suggestions
Maya: I hate Maya, I’m very biased here. She is pretty solid tho.
Kan-Ra: another momentum char. He seems pretty ok to me
Riptor: I like Riptor a lot, but I don’t have enough knowledge to give any suggestion for her.
Omen: one of the best (if not the best) character in the corner. Maybe the new changes are enough
Aganos: due to his design, has to work a lot in some MU, but his s3 changes are great and I love playing him. I like him as he is
Hisako: Very strong character. I have to play a lot more against her before any suggestion
Cinder: He is good as he is
Aria: Solid character, good as she is

S3 characters tomorrow

Good point. My bad.

HISAKO POLL IS HERE

Done

5

Also, apologies for the error in the Jago poll. The last option is the same as all the other characters.

6

Hard to place Raam on the poll because imo He is the biggest match up heavy character in the game, I feel he has some really good and some really really bad match ups, so tough to place him.

Wow, only 10 votes in and I’m already surprised.

8

What is surprising you the most? No one saying Rash should be toned down?

9

I shouldn’t say. I don’t want to start a debate.

10

Lol she is too good this season.

11

I’d ask you who you are talking about, but once again, I don’t want to start a debate.

12

How foolish of me, I thought it showed you which comment I replied too.

Hisako, there is no debate, we all know she got significantly better this season.

13

It did. I was able to track your reply to the post.

IMO there are characters that need some tweaks in specific areas, but overall everyone its pretty balanced. For example I voted Thunder as insanely powerful, but IMO he is more “very solid”, but IMO shammanism /skyfall need some tone down

15

That’s not how the vote works, I said be honest :expressionless:

16

My point is that Thunder is very solid, but shammanism/skyfall current state makes him to much powerful

17

Poor Arbiter :anguished:

18

Poor Kim! :frowning2:

19

i trust IG for the most part, everybody can be beat with enough effort.

like people that complain about campers, just seach for “trolling campers” videos to see that nobody is invincible.

Thanks for doing this poll.

I always had an interest in using TJ, Kim , Tusk and Kan Ra but I am maining Aria. After just 20 votes, it shows why I cannot enjoy the characters I really want to play.
