External link →why must they nerf omen just to make other agents viable? brim is deffo viable now, but this just hurts any players who dont play duelists in solo q alot worse now, like we didnt need any more incentives for people to f**king play duelists
Omen’s entire kit was not very economically demanding and his Q has proven to be incredibly strong on both offense and defense. In making balance changes, we also want to be future-facing and aim to carve out design space for what each controller is meant to provide - Omen having global smoke pressure, recharging smokes, a boost AND a powerful site taking/stalling tool with low ability costs was just making him a bit too good at everything.
If he ends up being too weak, we’ll buff him back - but hopefully these changes can help sharpen why you’d want to pick Omen or Brimstone more clearly.
We’re looking at Duelists in general right now for similar reasons, fwiw.
thanks for the response, im just upset because i feel like i can impact games even lesser now. thats all. i just hope you guys can add some more naturally fun controllers to play, as of rn omen is the only one thats interesting to play, when i played brim i felt like i wasnt playing a game but performing a chore..
i just hope you guys prioritize interesting new initiators / controllers / controllers, specifically controllers because those are the most lacking in choice and versatility imo (less with the brim updates). it really really feels unfair that playing jett / reyna is the only reliable way to carry yourself out of a lower rank, and that controllers cant have as much impact as duelists can, whilst also have worse stats in game, and dont have the ability to make any innovative plays either...
I totally get where you're coming from, and just to be clear - it's perfectly healthy to question our decisions and levy criticism at us. We are definitely going to be wrong sometimes and are learning alongside you all. So don't feel the need to justify your skepticism! It's all good.
I think in general, Brim is a bit more straightforward and less of a playmaker than Omen for sure, and that's a future opportunity in Controllers as a role in general like you said. In regards to your other concerns - Yoru will be the last Duelist for a little bit, so the other roles will be getting some more agents soon, and ranked changes are underway (but I don't work on that side of the project, so I can't speak to anything there personally).
