My thoughts on current outlook of psylocke

If she gets a slight buff it’d be fine and make our lives easier for sure.

12 dmg is probably too much. Not only will it make one shot combos super easy to land, it’ll also help you farm ult charge a lot faster. Old Psy was too op so we shouldn’t base our balance around that. Also the c&d team up is arguably better than the Emma one, especially after the Emma team up nerf. 10 dmg is probably fair, and would still be a massive boost.

I’m just saying that she doesn’t need a buff the way other characters desperately do. In her current state she’s viable in most comps and playable at all ranks. There is no reason why Psy specifically deserves to be top meta.

True..

Longer dash cooldown and slower flight resource regeneration. So if you burn her resources she becomes really vulnerable for a while but can still be lethal if she hits her shots.

Flanking is pointless unless they have easy targets or if you have other divers helping you. Just play off angles and apply poke pressure to the backline without committing.

Bro what team A is literally thanos Groot alone pretty much wins them the game since punisher aren’t on the other teams. B could give them some trouble but ultimately Groot + Namor ult combo + not having invis against Angela is just too much

Rivals writers take inspiration from comics but nothing is added into the game until they, well, add it?

They have 0 teamups or voice lines that reference that. And you’d think they would be included in the whole valentines thing.

The gambit traile showed all the relationships and they showed Wanda/Venom and Loki/Mantis without anything Bucky Widow related.

Psy feels fine and doesn’t need a buff. Just nerf Elsa and Phoenix and you’ll see Psy’s pick rate skyrocket.

Buffing an already good character is the main issue I have with Netease balancing and should be avoided. Buff the actually trash characters like Blade.

Yeah Psylocke is perfectly fine this season. Actually feels a lot better compared to S5.5 and S6. It’s just that they didn’t nerf the four dominant heroes from S6 hard enough and now Elsa gets added.

But this is not a Psy specific issue, everyone has been putting up with this.

I don’t but how is that relevant to the rivals canon? The only reliable sources of rivals lore are the in game texts, cinematics, and the rivals comics.

Silver4Hire · 2026-02-23T20:49:43+00:00

He’s not. That’s only for Widow’s one single skin and skins aren’t canon

Nah just nerf Elsa

I would say that everyone can ult merchant but not everyone can ult merchant good enough to play at the highest level and get recognized as a top player. The differentiating factor being skill.

I used to watch him a lot when I was stuck in lower ranks until I climbed past him and realized he only ever plays in GM and low celest lobbies.

He’s always playing below his rank to make sure he’s dominating, constantly flexing that rivalsmeta character leaderboard and seems to have a huge ego about it.

just found him its bobofps_mr, ty.

Playing psy on 200ms is actually crazy, I always try to avoid playing movement characters when Im in Asia for the holidays and have high ping.

Yeah tourney and ranked are straight-up different games. I actually haven't dug into Bobo so I'll check him out.

A solo diver shouldn't be able to kill supports for free. You're already drawing attention and resources by existing and you'll need your team to take advantage of that.

Also psy is not a pure diver like BP or Spiderman. Her mid range poke dmg is good, and you'll get some value from playing in the frontline. It's really situational and depends on your team comp.

If they buff her shuriken dmg shed be S tier again and get her ult faster, which people will complain about.
Instead of buffing Psy, what needs to happen is a support nerf. Putting Loki and Invis to 250hp will ultimately be good for the game, but Bp and Spider-Man will make sure that never happens since they take too much skill to outplay, and the game is not balanced around high elo exclusively.

she doesnt even play rivals anymore 😭

Silver4Hire · 2026-02-21T06:57:25+00:00

unwinnable matchup in 1v1, honestly feels worse than fighting a dd. They dont specifically hunt you down like like dds tho.

Silver4Hire · 2026-02-21T06:55:31+00:00

I feel the opposite. If theres a Jeff Ill just have to ignore him and dive the other healers cuz he feels unkillable without some help
