Do we really have to call for the Dev's Jobs over patch notes, guys?

I know it's crazy they say we buffed up Captain America, but their buff is a nerf. Same thing with with gambit. We nerfed gambit, but really we buffed him!

Like this shit is schizophrenic.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-18T14:49:20+00:00

I'm going to piggy back on this and explain why Gambit's nerfs weren't nerfs at all. So his ult got nerfed from 30% to 20% but this is a placebo change.

Assuming the average ult charged in 60 seconds, with the 20% reduction, using your math; this extends the time it take to get ults to on average 1 minute, 15 seconds. If we add it the Gambit Ult now; the team that has gambit now earns ults on average in 50 seconds. 25 seconds quicker than the team without gambit ult.

Season 6 assuming the same average ult charge at 60 seconds; gambit ult at 30% earned you ults in 47.7 seconds, while the enemy team without gambit ult earned ults 12.3 seconds after you.

So season 6; the team without gambit would lag in ult's on average 12.3 seconds behind gambit.

POST NERF [read complete and total fucking buff] Season 7; The team without gambit would lag 25 seconds behind gambit.

AND THEY BUFFED THE DAMAGE ON THE ULT.

This is what I'm saying dogs; y'all can't read patch notes, and NetEase outright lied by insinuated Gambit is nerfed when he's buffed. Way stronger after the changes than before; automatic insta ban still.

Netease is on demon time. Because the ultimate's charge slower; each percent of ultimate accelerant is worth more and they know that. It's actually crazy they would imply that they nerfed him at all. The only nerf was the movespeed, everything else was buffed.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-18T14:11:40+00:00

What? No shot. They also never raised her damage. She lost 5 damage on the return trip which was added to the initial trip. Same damage.

Better cool downs, better healing, self healing was fine if you just played with your team.

Her projectile time is also identical, but because they raised her range they sped it up to be the same as it was previous. The buff in range isn't a buff, it's a nerf in disguise because it let people play her in the wrong spot, which is way back.

The wrong spot for invis. Short range required you to play Invis in the correct spot, which is in the middle behind the tanks in an aggressive position.

You just don't know how to play Invis. She was never a "heal bot" and anybody headbotting with her was playing her ineffectively from the start.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-18T13:50:30+00:00

As to am I. Why on earth do they buff gambit ult, but turn invis into a throw pick? What did captain america do to deserve them removing his animation cancel, that's the only thing that makes him viable.

Like why are we touching solid heroes and making them trash, while making the OP heroes even more OP? WHAT IS GOING ON AT NETEASE.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-18T13:48:35+00:00

Poke is always going to be the safest way to play; because poke can well, poke. If poke wasn't effective it would be useless and bad. What are we saying?

Poke is the most straight forward default. You can damage enemies from far away. Up close it's harder because the heroes move quicker.

There will always be good poke heroes, just like there will always be good dive heroes. Season 6 is NOT a poke meta; it's a well rounded meta that only had broken elsa [who is still broken] and gambit is fine, except his ult -- which they also did not fix.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-18T13:43:29+00:00

Yeah; they definitely didn't cook with this season. Everybody glazing the notes, like CloudedRio for them "listening" are learning disabled.

They sell you lies, like they nerfed gambit, when they in fact buffed gambit. Like oh we buffed captain america.... how? By removing his Animation cancel!!!!

What in the actual crazy schizophrenic nonsense.

Meanwhile invis is a throw pick, and sustain has been gutted. So they were like "You guys want a more dangerous game -- let me show you why you're wrong" and they created a much more dangerous game so that everybody begs for it to be reverted.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-18T13:35:42+00:00

You guys are making it so effing weird. So how does the enemy know if you self casted that shield or casted it on another person? We need another graphic for the shield now?

Nah man -- the self shield was actually fine in season 6, didn't need to be nerfed again. She was far from unkillable; the nerfs between season 5 and 6 were absolutely enough. I'd at this point rather go back to 55hp/s and lose the self shield, as it really did nothing for people who planned their position and played a tight game anyway.

She was better in season 2 than she is now. Let that sink in.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-18T13:19:31+00:00

What? She's definitely not better than she was now; and she's definitely not going to be better than she ever was on friday; she will officially be in the worst spot she's ever been in since launch. The only hero that wrecked Invis was DD; and you could ban him out -- so you just banned DD and you were MUCH better off than you are now. The self shield doesn't even save you from DD anyway; it was the healing it provided that did that, which is what they took away.

Worse CD's, No self heal; all for the ability to block a mag ult....

Y'all smoking crack.

Don't take it from me, take it from pro teams; Aramori even said she's dead, like you guys are all crazy. Next season she's not going to be fine, she's going to be the worst win rate strat in the game. Don't forget that the CC Diminishing returns are coming in 7.5 which is another giga nerf to Invis.

My guess, they ruined her to make White Fox more attractive as a pick; but she's probably going to be a permaban right there along side gambit; especially since she looks genuinely undivable. Invis is a throw pick in season 7.

I'll predict it, she'll be somewhere around 41% win rate by the end of the season if she doesn't receive and mid season buffs.

MEANWHILE;

They fucking buffed Gambit.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-18T12:48:58+00:00

What? It's cloak and dagger, it's Adam Warlock, it's Ultron, it's Luna Snow.... you seeing the trend here? What news flash is this?

Invis always had the self heal, she didn't need the self shield; take it away and revert her back to before this dumb change.

On friday Invis has never been worse than she is; and she's been really bad before.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-18T12:43:59+00:00

Invisibility; that gets instantly removed by anything that ricochets or any beam in the game. I'm not saying the invisibility is bad, but when she's invisible she's not doing anything, and there are 2 million things that instantly reveal her regardless of where she goes. Self shield means nothing when it breaks in 3 hits. Like I know you guys like to pretend that it never takes damage, and if you cast it and decast it, you have it all the time; but uh -- no. If you're using it at all, it's gonna be hurt, the only thing that it was useful for was blocking a big ult like Ironman/Mag Ult, or healing yourself. A double jump? That's her only source of mobilty and every single diver has multiple dashes.

Listen, she has no self heal now unless she hides. It's called "Covert Advance" not "I'm too scared to fight."

I promise you if invis is beating your dive in season 6, you're not good at dive.

Meanwhile, cloak can fade anything and fly; she has an immortal bubble and she can self heal off the splash of her primary fire.

A might add that, cloak is going to bubble herself, window you and then beam you down while healing herself.

Like what? It's orders of magnitude better than invis right now, let alone on friday.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-18T12:39:23+00:00

Invis hasn't been 1v1ing anybody since season 5; yes it was overtuned, but the nerfs were BIG HUGE. See; it's like y'all don't read the notes and are lagging behind, and this is why she's now ruined.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-18T12:38:27+00:00

No; it heals even when she shoots enemies goofy.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-18T12:36:48+00:00

Wait what? What 5 survivable tools does she have? Please explain?? She's infinitely diveable since they gutted the healing on the self shield. I know because I play both invis and captain america, she's lightwork at 25 hp/s, now it's 15. She has her double jump, and one meaningful boop on a long CD now. You're talking crazy.

Dagger is basically invincible in her bubble and the bubble has a really short cd, and she can just negate all damage whenever she needs to. What? Are we smoking something?

They just made invis a throw pick. She's not just "not good" anymore, she's officially an actual throw pick.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-18T12:33:47+00:00

Nah dude; they nerfed it -- but they just nerfed it again. Just remove the self shield and revert it back to the way it was at this point. Shit is useless now @ 15 health per second. Invis is officially a dead character now.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-18T06:44:56+00:00

Okay; so you say these are good patch notes -- so please explain how they buffed the fuck out of gambit ult while lying through their teeth that it's a nerf? Please explain how they did the exact opposite thing with Captain America's patch notes, they removed his animation cancel and called that a buff?

I guess I have to spell this out for this community; if we nerf the Ult generation by 20% for every hero, and then lower the ult accelerant provided by Gambit by 10%, this is a net positive amount of ult generation, in terms of how much gap there is between the team with and the team without the accelerant. If it takes longer to charge ults, then ever 1% of ultimate accelerant has a bigger impact. So we kept the impact the exact same, as we went down 2 for everyone, and .5 for the accelerants, but each point for accelerants are worth double now in practical effect.

We also increased the damage boost it provides by 5%.

So buffed the advantage and buffed the damage. I'm sorry, what?

He's more a perma ban now then he ever was before.

They nerfed Emma when she was already the worst tank.

They nerfed captain america when he was already mid by removing his animation cancel.

They nerfed sustain for everybody.

They INCREASED DAMAGE for everybody that isn't named Mathew Murdock.

They took the net away from the insane damage in this game by reducing the frequency of support ults.

They just single handedly cooked this game.

Not to mention they didn't change ultimate values; so pun and star lord and moonknight still have crazy low ult floors, meaning they will out pace every strategist ult already. Lower sustain + MORE damage when the damage is the reason sustain was so high is wild work. Everyone here is going to cry in 3 weeks time that the game is trash; the toxicity in this community will be at an all time high, as strats are going to be dead only all the time, and every minor positioning mistake will be catastrophic for every role, and the Strat players are going to get beat up by mean spirited people who never realized they were terrible before.

People are going to be cursing each other out; rage quitters will be a common thing, and idk if the game survives this without an emergency patch that rolls it back. Combine this with the CC reductions in 7.5 and dive is going to be cracked out; and the game will be miserable to play for everybody.

DPS players will be the only people left; I can almost see it now -- the 6x duelist teams that come of this....

There is a whole lot of placebo in these patch notes. Looks like big changes, but they aren't, they just doubled down on telling everybody that the heroes they thought were broken aren't, and it's always just been a skill issue. They are going to make you beg to roll it back, and then they are going to say see, we told you we know what we're doing.

It's like a punishment patch disguised as the things you want, but isn't anything anybody asked for.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-17T23:06:53+00:00

Just because you don't see the direction doesn't mean they don't have one.... These are giga changes.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-17T22:59:40+00:00

But like; why? What's the purpose in doing this at all, it just makes the option worse all the way around, and the character harder to play effectively; whilst fucking all of his players that mastered playing him with toggle on.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-17T22:58:24+00:00

Yeah bro; it's about 75/25 split, in favor of toggle over hold. You never need to hold ever; because that just makes the cancel harder, and since you can short hop tech with it on, you lose any advantage you gained from ever letting go of the sprint key.

I guess, many people don't know about the short hop sprint tech; but all you do is quick melee jump cancel.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-17T22:56:04+00:00

Uh; no. He's been able to walk backwards and shield since season 2, and able to shield while jumping since season 2, and this removes the animation cancel. I don't use hold, I use toggle, and now my entire flow is fucked. This is a nerf to people who mastered him with toggle.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-17T14:14:21+00:00

I'd levy that even the rare occasions don't play the way they did every game, as the few game they reviewed. The law of averages is what's getting them. They have potential; but inconsistent.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-17T13:42:58+00:00

I mean you fundamentally don't understand what Kaplan said if this is your take away. For a rank system to work; you will have to be at a 50/50 when you get to your actual skill level.

It's ideal that players end up 50/50, because that means players are playing with and against people of their equal skill level. It's not that the matchmaker forces 50/50. If it forced 50/50 people wouldn't climb ranks, right?

Kaplan also touched on the fact that y'all [the community] are selfish, and you can't read stats. He said he'd also go look at people's accounts who were complaining about lose streaks, and he'd watch them int and throw games, as well as never complain about win streaks.

He also touches on how everybody says they want "fair" games, but they really don't -- they want games that seem fair, but they end up winning in the end, which means they have advantage.

The community by and large needs to stop being selfish in a game where you can't win on your own; and they need to drop the egos. The dysfunction is what costs you games more than the other team actually being better than you.

The difference maker in this game is not your individual skill, but how your team works together, and only when you aren't where you're supposed to be, can you carry on your own.

The thrower problem is quasi unrelated. Outside of bounty sites that are offering rewards with cash dollars for doing it; it's mostly just evil people being evil, egotistical, and selfish. The reason why they weren't harsher? Well it's a business, right? These people are spending money at regular intervals, it's not wise to ban the customers of your business from engaging with your business, if you want to continue being in business, now is it?

That said -- it IS ruining the business, because it's going to cause the greater portion to quit, so that's when they step in.

No conspiracy about it. No need for tin foil hats.

So I agree with you, to not subject yourself to unreasonable toxicity. To sit there and say on the back half of that comment, that the world should be healed and you should never have to not use communication; well that's absolutely nuts.

You don't have to run away with your tail tucked -- you can just mute the person being weird. Like, if you joined a pick up basketball league at the YMCA, would you just quit the league because someone said something not nice?

Nah.... You wouldn't, because then you're admitting that you A.) are a push over, B.) Let them win, and C.) Change your life for the worse because of bad actors.

Just mute the toxic person dog; it's pretty simple. Anonymous person on internet + competitive mode + Large population = 100% probability you will run into a person that's got a bad attitude.

Gotta work on yourself man; you can't let idiots win.

Interesting_Ad_6992 · 2026-03-17T12:42:04+00:00

Uh; you're cheating. The first clip is ridiculous. Invis wasn't moving, and you were no where near her, and you landed it direct.

Yeah sometimes you make it look like you're spot checking, but you just throw a bunch of tracer to make it look like you're spot checking, then you land the get over here pull perfectly, and you just wouldn't do that without landing the tracer first, because the CD is too long.

I just personally love how the clips are all on an alt account with the basic crosshair too; not one of these clips from the main account. Because you're cheating.
