I REALLY dont intend to say this in a rude manner but I am genuinely curious what is the thought process leading to an ability which can:
give wallhacks for 8 seconds
reveal health info
IS NOT 1 person wide as DZK said
stun
flash your screen
slow
deal damage
cancel heals
cancel revives
and applies all of the above effects through walls, and has 75 meters range
Even on paper, how is this fair, fun, and balanced in any way?
Tough question, but I'll try to answer sincerely and in good faith since you aren't being rude! We have a strong culture of playtesting at Respawn and have multiple playtests per week where everyone on the team is welcome to join in, play the upcoming content and provide their feedback. We also will occasionally host playtests with pros and content creators to get their feedback on upcoming content. Despite all of that playtesting, nothing can match having content be released into the wild and played by the players to see how a piece of content actually ends up performing. Seer specifically went through multiple gameplay kits and iterations before shipping which was shaped directly by both internal and external feedback. With that being said as I mentioned in another comment we will be adjusting some of his power in an upcoming patch.
