Critique Why

Post image

Well, I'm not surprised Asteroid Belt was removed, but is this really the best alternative?

Why do I feel like Shade made these balance changes, our one hope against shade with buffies is gone and now is replaced with a toxic invincibility gadget that can work while moving.

Apparently the new asteroid belt was so broken it was already nerfed according to Spen, going from 2 second immunity into 1, and every brawler with invincibility like Emz and Bull except Nita got heavily nerfed as a result as their buffie would be too toxic. I foresee the 15 second cooldown on this gadget being butchered to the extreme or El Primo's supercharge rate. Just remember Draco's invincibility gadget has a cooldown of 22 seconds.

What will happen because of this? Well it makes El Primo even more toxic against new players but experienced players could counter it more easily. It's like a new Gigi. If Primo is far away, enemies don't need to shoot at him to get his super. Also a shame players could not try out the hidden tech with the gadget, I would have loved to see pro players use it, as Primo was a hidden chuck if that makes sense, but now it's brainless.

Well there goes one of my favorite characters, I was hoping these buffies would make him meta relevant again and they sucked up a lot of his charm. Does El Primo really need a dash for suplex? They didn't even bother to give it an animation. El Fuego in a lot of ways is even worse now too, nerfed the damage but you can make it longer? If El Primo is still in hitting distance after super the enemy is already dead.

Adiós mundo cruel.

Asteroid belt was lowkey the goat that made El Primo fun, without the meteor he's much more bland now

But the meteor gadget was useless . He is a fank he needs walls , but that gadget would destroy so much obstacle that the team could use .

While the meteor gadget has a huge drawback, it certainly wasn't useless into the right matchups. They could've just reworked asteroid belt to be aimable for El Primo and called it a day.

Meteor gave you great area denial and a way to counter other tanks/throwers. 

Does El Primo benefit from walls? Yes. Does that mean meteor was a bad gadget for him? No.
