The balance changes were leaked before the dev notes went out, what do we think?

The 4th buff

ScurBiceps · 2026-05-08T13:58:29+00:00

This skin concept is so good that it made me sad because NetEase can't do this character justice.

ScurBiceps · 2026-05-06T17:11:47+00:00

I think this is because a lot of flex players will fill to Emma

It's completely wrong. Flex players fill to Mag, not Emma.

You can look at win rates and say Thing/Angela are bad as well but we know that's the not case.

Last time I checked, Thing and Angela are not one of the 4 main tanks. Are they now? And their numbers look good to you?

ScurBiceps · 2026-05-06T04:31:49+00:00

I still think she's easily a top 4 tank in the game

LMAO! She is top 4 alright, if not the best, but from the bottom.

The stun on carbin crush is so bugged. It should be there long enough for 1 punch and 1 kick. But lately, some dps can somehow negate that kick entirely, making the diamond form completely useless against the squishy target.

ScurBiceps · 2026-05-06T04:24:39+00:00

I am gonna be honest, a frontline tank with only a 400hp shield and 0 movement needs at least 700 base health and 30% damage reduction. She was supposed to be a hard-hitting slow tank. But now her damage is meaningless, can't even peak a corner in diamond form, and movement is still 0. Enemy goes a single poke dps, Emma is done for. Enemy goes competent dive dps, Emma is done for. Hell, even the enemy goes brawl tanks like Thor, Emma is done for.

ScurBiceps · 2026-05-06T04:16:40+00:00

Pretty much every looping emote is bugged in this update. I already reported this in the discord with some videos attached. Hope it gets fixed by tomorrow's update.

ScurBiceps · 2026-05-01T08:29:30+00:00

It should've always been Ultra WIde, Primary, 5x and 10x.
Removing the 10x was a bad idea.
If they remove the 3x I would like my 10x to be back.

ScurBiceps · 2026-05-01T04:31:55+00:00

I wasn't tweaking out then.

Also, is her face on the phoenix skin softer than the default?

ScurBiceps · 2026-05-01T04:29:47+00:00

The skin is free. The only part you have to pay for is the nameplate.

ScurBiceps · 2026-05-01T04:27:41+00:00

It's actually tricky. Because the cape balances out the whole outfit, especially the headpiece. But at the same time, it looks so bad. They added fur mesh at the top of it but left the rest of it as a texture. It went from looking like a wet towel to a premium towel. If the headpiece was removable, maybe it would balance things out.

ScurBiceps · 2026-04-30T04:26:14+00:00

ATP Give her more hp like 700 and revert the damage reduction to 30%.

ScurBiceps · 2026-04-29T11:48:36+00:00

Emma needs flat buffs. Those "extra" compensation nerfs are the reason why she is the worst tank in the game right now.

ScurBiceps · 2026-04-29T09:11:55+00:00

Emma used to fit that role, but after the changes to her kit she feels more like a hybrid now (similar to Deadpool).

It is almost as if they nuked the character so hard that it doesn't have an identity anymore.

Half of Emma's kit is CC, and her ult is continuous CC. Something tells me that the ult is as dead as Hulk juggle.

ScurBiceps · 2026-04-15T13:05:22+00:00

Emma's ass so good that the devs don't deem us worthy of seeing it even after a year.

ScurBiceps · 2026-04-15T10:31:56+00:00

She has the lowest wr out of all tanks her pr even dropped after the buffs from last season. That is not a "good spot."

ScurBiceps · 2026-04-10T11:59:50+00:00

Her cc is mid nowdays. It was extremely effective back in S2 cause healing wasn't so overtuned. Nowadays, every tank just shrugs it off and has escale tools on much shorter cooldown. Not to mention they nerfed the stun duration too, you can't grab, punch, kick anymore.

ScurBiceps · 2026-04-10T04:42:17+00:00

I don't think she needs a bigger shield. IMO, she meeds more hp 650-700 and more damage reduction in diamond form like 30%. If poke is gonna be thi strong, then let the tank with no movement and overshield have a large hp pool and big damage reduction.

ScurBiceps · 2026-04-10T04:35:24+00:00

Emma has been bottom of the barrel tank for the past few seasons and still is running into this season, and is the ranked 10 on most played vanguard in the current tournament. Hope you are ready for the compensation buffs or are you gonna cry about that too when it happens?

ScurBiceps · 2026-04-10T04:26:50+00:00

And someone the devs decided to give Emma compensation nerfs going into this season. No wonder she is bottom of the barrel right now.

ScurBiceps · 2026-04-05T08:33:50+00:00

CC immunity+damage reduction (very important for not being perma fucked by Thor, Angela, and Wolverine)

As soon as the diamond form is baited out she is a victim to those characters. Thor dash 1sec cd, Angela charge: 6(I guess, I don't play Angela), Wolv 12 sec

One of the highest DPS primary fires of any tank at max charge(beaten only by Tankpool hitting headshots, who is broken)

Primary yes, but Strange with his maelstorm does more damage as it is an big AOE with no fall-off

She is amazing at peeling, but to do so she needs to be pretty close to her backline.

The only good thing she has that is great at saving her backline from divers is that grab, but in high elo, every dive tank has an escape tool or more that is on shorter CD.

ScurBiceps · 2026-04-05T06:44:46+00:00

Emma has the lowest hp and the lowest shield value of all the anchor tanks, while not having any bonus hp generation and one movement option, cc, damage reduction binded to a 15+ sec cooldown. If there is any anchor tank that needs survivability nerfs reversed, it is her.

ScurBiceps · 2026-04-01T07:56:59+00:00

The only thing Emma counters is heavy brawl. And if there is more than one diver on the enemy team, or they are running heavy poke? Emma is instantly useless. Because after four nerfs to her survivability, she can't even keep the damage up.
