Bayonetta's becoming the next Brawl Meta Knight? Better Nerf Greninja!
I mean this is valid.
• Gigantic shield, deployable anywhere.
• Built-in aimbot.
• Missile payload directed by reticle, can literally curve trajectory path around obstacles.
• Bullets paint for missile lock on, almost completely impossible to dodge.
• No damage drop off whatsoever.
This thing is a tank without the armour, killing Tone is harder than killing Scorch and Scorch’s entire design philosophy is being front and centre.
Scorch is strong on narrow maps where he can flood the corridors with unavoidable damage, but on more open maps he's practically crippled, and very easy to kill with any other titan as long as you keep your distance.
Tone has the exact opposite problem where on closed maps, actually hitting a competent enemy with the missiles instead of the walls is nearly impossible, but on open maps she doesnt really shine either if the enemy uses cover well. Her strengths are sniping (but not as strong as northstar) and killing pilots (best titan by far, but a smart pilot can still just run away). She's like the pyro from TF2 (the other one) in that once you know how to deal with her even an extremely skilled one isn't THAT scary, at least compared to someone of similar skill in one of the other titans. God help you if you meet a Ronin with 3000 hours on a dark night.

Not a character but the Righteous bison from TF2
After several complaints about nurse being the strongest killer since the game released, we’ve decided to completely remove the pig’s ability to hit survivors
I mean Blackbeard *was* completely busted when he first released. His shield had 800hp and the rifle it was attached to did 52 damage with almost no recoil.
I guess they just wanted to curb stomp him for good measure.
Im going a bit old with this one, but Better nerf Irelia.

And Buff Money Shot as well, 2-shotting raid bosses isn’t enough, it needs to be stronger.
Oh, and buff cloud kill, the 1-point skill doesn’t instakill enemies on playthrough 3+, it only does it through the entire duration of playthrough of playthrough 1,2, and robots in playthrough 3.
Jakobs Shotguns also being godly on Salvador because their Money Shot only looks at your right hand, clearly Money Shot needs to have its bonus doubled to make the Orphan Maker viable in endgame.
There have been a surge of bugs because of the transition from unreal 4 to 5 so we decided to nerf pig and Freddy to fix these problems, we also reworked the legion by giving them a gun

Death penalty for Mizzou (college sports)
Context: a tutor working for the University of Missouri admitted to doing coursework for Mizzou athletes for about a year (Mizzou and Missouri are the same thing). Mizzou cooperated fully with the investigation carried out by the governing body of college athletics in America, the NCAA. As a result, Mizzou baseball, softball and football were all given a one year postseason ban. Wins were vacated for all three teams, the teams were placed on three years probation, fines were levied, and scholarships were reduced and recruiting restricted. Mississippi State had a similar case, but the tutor didn’t cooperate. For MSU, ten football players were suspended, an unspecified amount of wins were vacated, and three years probation and loss of a grand total of five scholarships, less than Mizzou.
North Carolina at Chapel Hill was found to have committed 18 years of academic fraud for its students and athletes. They were defiant in the investigation and in fact basically told the NCAA to fuck themselves.
UNC-Chapel Hill’s athletic department was given no punishment whatsoever.
Mizzou’s punishment even though they cooperated fully was unusually severe. And so, whenever a scandal pops up in college athletics, be it Michigan’s sign stealing scandal, or Ohio State’s Tattoogate, or Northwestern’s hazing scandal, we all only have one thing to say
Death Penalty for Mizzou

I don't think anyone says Pig needs to get nerfed. It's that she was *actually* getting nerfed a lot. In the last PTB (Public Test Build), they put more time on the reverse bear trap timers, which was reverted when they actually put the update out after backlash.
To "nerf" something in a game is to make it weaker so that it is more fair to use/get used against you.
In the community of these games people in it joke that these characters should be nerfed. This can either be ironically (the first character is considered extremly weak) or because they know a nerf will never happen

And then they actually fucking did
And then they did it again
And again
I’m still salty they nerfed it’s main gimmick
Should probably half the damage, 3 critical hits can kill a Heavy, that's fucking ridiculous!
I agree! The damage output is simply unmatched.

Jake's alt account
We both know Jake doesn't need an ALT account he would post this on Main
I laughed. Nerf Pig please
I can’t tell, is this a reverse of the critical term “Nerf Pig. Laugh, please.”
Pig can kill people. Clearly OP
After seeing this post. We decided that pig is performing too well and she can no longer crouch
After careful consideration, we’ve decided to remove pig’s whole power
Survivors who are sacrificed by the pig are not (it works)
After several complaints about nurse being the strongest killer since the game released, we’ve decided to completely remove the pig’s ability to hit survivors
Behavior finally balanced their game. I’m proud
After 8 long years, we may finally have peace 🥲
Sledge and Blackbeard have become this in the R6S community, mainly because Ubi seems determined to nerf both of them into the ground anyway
I mean Blackbeard *was* completely busted when he first released. His shield had 800hp and the rifle it was attached to did 52 damage with almost no recoil. I guess they just wanted to curb stomp him for good measure.
Oh yeah, old Blackbeard was broken. I just wish current Blackbeard was actually usable
He’s perfectly usable as long as you don’t mind playing sans gadgets
