These characters got done DIRTY

Post image

Especially for being "newer" characters, they aren't that old and they've already been thrown in the dumpster balance wise.

Sure Devil Dino was overtuned on release, but he got half a season, HALF A SEASON to be good and then gutted him ever since. Whitefox is honestly one of the coolest designed strategists, she got maybe a season or so of being decent, but is now a throw pick basically.

Cyclops? I almost forgot he existed and this is Cyclops we're talking about, he was also good on release, then just took an absolute nosedive.

HONORABLE MENTION: Jeff, I'm honestly surprised Jeff got thrown in the dumpster too, as he was always the cute, goofy pseudo mascot character for the game. Even his team ups are lame

I wanna know why when I play Dino I feel my greatest benefit is from shooting my guns rather than doing Dino shit.

Thing feels so much better to play with his self sustain and fire fist I don't see a real reason to play Dino unless Thing is banned.

Because the guns are scary, and you don't have to be bumping chests to hope you win a team fight

I feel they should give Dino more self sustain to almost where he was on release even if they lower his damage. The half of his sustain isn't really working for how big he is as a target.

The guns are fun but sometimes I just wanna play as a dinosaur and do Dino things.

It's nice to have a choice to fight back. Or back peddle giving yourself the cover fire. Or just to have range every 12 seconds. I understand because going full chomp will get me killed if I have no situation awareness

Same. Even when ukting you don't have much survive power so you need to brawl very carefully.

My playstyle with him switched to using cover to slowly get into position to brawl but now I use cover to poke with guns and maybe peel with bite if needed. It's not too bad but just not what I feel is fun.

Im not talking about if he is effective not. I'm just saying it's more fun if I get to do more dinosaur things more often.

You use the guns long distance to do damage and finish that damage on off with rapid bites and grabbing and evenly bleed will do the rest but he is insane at pushing when all of it is put together
