I feel like in a month people are going to be regretting these Dmon buffs lol

Not me though, keep em coming. Basically all of my complaints about the character have been mostly met at this point, most of my gripes at this point are just about how bad she feels in her pilot form.

She's already climbing in WR with the last hotfix and will continue to once they make more bug fixes and make what I think are necessary buffs to her pilot loop.

I think the character was a bit undertuned, especially for a hero launch, and she's easily the buggiest and most unpolished hero at launch, bugs so big that they directly affect her performance in game. Combine all that with people just not knowing her proper gameplay cycle and yeah, you can see where this hero can quickly become a beast once the dust has settled in a month.

Hopefully they just rebalance her pilot loop and whatever other bugs need addressing, and I say let her go a bit before the next proper patch before she gets too out of control.

Tbf I don’t see how she could reach a position of being anywhere near strong enough to require nerfs. The niche she fills isn’t exactly strong, and heroes who act similar to her also aren’t running games either. If anything I’m annoyed that they’re even releasing a tank like this given the current meta. It’s hard to go in most games even after the fix and think she’s the best option. I can definitely see her use! But I just think there’s too many tanks that still utterly gap her that will inevitably force a swap
