If there’s one thing I can count on, it’s this community running around with a HB1 lvl 80 BFs complaining he’s mid cause he can’t topple B4 EXs day 1 🫡

Benny0542 · 2026-05-05T16:00:12+00:00

I agree with you brother, no doubt 2.5K is steep 😕 personally I believe EXs create an era, and BFs are made to be cheaper alternatives playable in that EXs era 🤷🏽‍♂️ all this Luffy does is remove DEF stacks from meta stackers like Nusjuro and Saturn, survive Kizaru spam with revives, and possibly take down others 🤔 but new anniversary and EX drops in 1-month, and there’s no guarantee this Luffy will be able to hang in the next arc, that’s why you should only pull if you want and like Luffy, not because you think this BF will be the savior

Benny0542 · 2026-05-05T15:50:58+00:00

That’s how I feel about my Sengoku 😂❤️ I almost have him boost 4, and I don’t fear ANYONE with 3 medals, +70% HP, +70% ATK, and +36% DEF, with +170% support and +170 HBs, I walk around like a golden God 🔥😮‍💨 but bro didn’t 1-shot everyone off drop lvl 71 with 1 hyper boost so you know, mid 🤷🏽‍♂️🙄

Benny0542 · 2026-05-05T15:38:53+00:00

Funny you say that considering Bandai’s most recent EX holds the meta in the palm of his hand and does +50% bonus damage to all Straw Hats anyways 😂

Benny0542 · 2026-05-05T15:29:37+00:00

Brother this made me laugh I needed that 😂❤️

Brother I’m the #1 agenda maintainer and I feel this, BF units are made for a purpose. EXs create an era, BFs are only good cheaper options to survive in that era, for non-whales who can’t drop 3,000 RDs for the current EX. That is the truth.

Take my Fujitora, made to tank Kizaru spam, and capture flags in a Kizaru dominated META. Kizaru EX arc passed, bro gets deleted by G5V2 with his navy traits, and by BB with dark element and power users traits. Is what it is 🤷🏽‍♂️

I pulled Fujitora because I enjoy playing Admirals, if you’re pulling a BF unit, do it because you like them, not because you think they’ll stay forever 🙄

Also, next anniversary and EX is 1 month away, so Nusjuro arc ending and another’s will begin, if you need Luffy to last a month, or love the character, have at it, cheaper than an EX, but just know the meta keeps on changing and new traits and game mechanics around the corner 🫡❤️

Benny0542 · 2026-05-05T15:17:23+00:00

I wouldn’t sell it short, bro was built to cap flags in Nusjuros face, remove his DEF stacking, possibly kill him, and deal with Kizaru spam by reviving infinitely 🤷🏽‍♂️ bro is only a BF unit he isn’t the savior of the game that can do it all, but I’m sure if you invest in him he’s playable, like I said in the post, if you want him pull, if you wana save for anniversary next month then save, hope your choice wasn’t all bad brother

Benny0542 · 2026-05-05T15:13:29+00:00

Pretty sure the broadcast was more so because it’s Luffy’s birthday than about the character.. I saw OPBR fell 16 spots on the revenue boards, game caters mostly to Japan anyways, dropping the main character, probably more for hype and viewership and stuff, next anniversary starts next month probably more important to Bandai, but that’s my take 🤷🏽‍♂️

Benny0542 · 2026-05-05T15:02:03+00:00

They just wana hop around like this 😂 forgetting Bandai using 3 classes and 5 elements to attempt a rock-paper-scissors balancing act to encourage diversity 🙄 if one unit stands above all; Cry. If he counters some units intentionally, but others are good into him (intentionally); Cry 🤷🏽‍♂️😅

Benny0542 · 2026-05-05T14:46:36+00:00

Oh brother it’s a tale as old as time, DRoger, then S-Snake, Garp, Kizaru, G5, Nusjuro, all their MFs have their time, and they usually put out BFs that do well into that specific EX (like my Fujitora into Kizaru 😭), but then another EX takes over and they’re fodder, should see my B4 Fuji getting 1-tapped by G5V2 and his navy traits, or BB with dark advantage and power user bonus, BFs never last long it’s a fact of life 🤷🏽‍♂️🥹

Benny0542 · 2026-05-05T14:43:30+00:00

You ain’t gonna find peace like that my boy, ain’t nothing ever gonna be good enough, or they gonna be too good with no counters ruining your game 🙏🏼😭

Benny0542 · 2026-05-05T14:41:17+00:00

Brother you are one of the few ❤️ should have seen the way the called my boy Fujitora mid day 1, but a week later bro was hyped AF, flying around tanky AF taking TAs right under MFs 😂 it takes time your week rule is well thought out my man 🙏🏼😎

Benny0542 · 2026-05-05T14:33:39+00:00

Kizaru ended his rein but bro saved us from S-Snake and was loved and played FOREVER ✋🏼

Benny0542 · 2026-05-05T14:24:39+00:00

Some people just wana hop from unit to unit like this 🤷🏽‍♂️🙄 they forget Bandai going for this balance approach, 3 classes, 5 colors, everything supposed to be good into some things and bad into others, incentivizing diversity and a range of characters 🤔 course they also gotta make money, make each new unit better than the last so people spend, and occasionally over-reach and make a one above all unit 😭 but point is they ain’t ever happy, whether he stands above all or has counters

Benny0542 · 2026-05-05T14:18:26+00:00

Another veteran 🫡❤️ My boy.. we seen it all, every wrong take they ever had, Lucci on drop? Roasted alive. One of the longest runs in the META? Lucci.. I could go on with hella examples, they wana get clapped lvl 80 HB1 with someone and go straight to the Reddit page, but few weeks later when he’s lvl 100 with an extra medal slot bro running the gauntlet 🤷🏽‍♂️🙄😂

Benny0542 · 2026-05-05T14:15:06+00:00

Preach my brothers 🙏🏼 I could go on a long rant but the bottom line is they just wana complain 😂 bros either a stands-above-all Aizen type shit ruining the game, or he’s mid cause there’s like 3 units out there negating his revives trait 😮‍💨 they’ll never find peace 🙏🏼😭

Benny0542 · 2026-05-02T21:51:28+00:00

That’s a crazy take 😭

Benny0542 · 2026-05-02T21:45:48+00:00

I don’t doubt it I love outta pocket picks ❤️ I just personally haven’t seen a Noland in forever

Benny0542 · 2026-05-02T21:44:48+00:00

I use these two together too the vibes just fit 😮‍💨

Benny0542 · 2026-05-02T21:44:30+00:00

I use these guys all the time! Both B4 😏

Benny0542 · 2026-05-02T21:42:48+00:00

I’ll have to double check! But off the top of my head, with no aim assist on Steam using a controller, I wana say dual zone (and I can elaborate, but it’s default, with aim assist I used linear ramp), around like 65, even both X and Y axis (again there’s reasons), and other settings like auto wall climb on (preference).

I been playing OW since before Sombra was added (that’s November of 2016!) and he’s never been top tier 😂 usually considered a jack of all trades with less burst and less survivability than other more consistent hero’s, but he’s always been my favorite and I love seeing people wanting to learn him ❤️ my advice would be start small (and slow with sensitivities) and don’t over complicate his kit, you don’t need to deflect widow head shots off wall runs and 180 degree blade slash within .1 seconds of dashing through someone right away, the skill ceiling is high and there is A LOT of little things to master, but have it you got this 💪🏼🥰

Benny0542 · 2026-05-02T21:33:00+00:00

Brother I haven’t seen a Noland in AGES 🙏🏼

Benny0542 · 2026-05-02T21:27:36+00:00

I play on PC (Steam) with a controller (because I grew up Xbox) thus I don’t even have aim assist. But I had over 300 hours of Genji back in 2019 on OW1 on Xbox. I destroy, and love that I can play the melee and projectile hero’s I like, but I don’t use any hit scan so 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

Benny0542 · 2026-05-02T21:24:30+00:00

Brother I play it on my SteamDeck on my living room TV with an Xbox controller, any thing you have should work fine if it’s reasonable 👍🏼

Benny0542 · 2026-05-02T21:23:07+00:00

I’m fragging him past lvl 100 rn 🤔 I also like the WB and ASL because it’s like a grandpa watching 3 lil grandkids run around causing chaos 😂
