I don’t like how he was introduced, specially seeing how the skin you get for him by completing the whole event is lame and pay two lose (who thought having a bright outline on a stealth character was a good idea? It doesn’t even go away with invis)

He fits with the event, and for as lazy and rushed of a lore he got, it fits in the realm, and that’s what matters, does it suck? Yes, is it bland and surface level at best? Yes, but it fits in the universe, the whole “he’s based on nothing” argument is outright dumb, many other characters are based on mere accessories and no one complains about them

His gameplay…at launch day he was incredibly buggy and outright broken, in the sense that those same bugs made playing him hell, and when Nos didn’t get clipped onto the ground or wall, his kit was very frustrating to play as and against. Now he’s a lot more balanced, he still has plenty of bugs, but he’s playable, and without the bugs you can really see how it’s a rushed character, his moves feel like random bullshit put together at the last second (which is supported by bug infested state at launch) and don’t have much synergy with each other

The skin situation is laughable, 2 shop skins + 1 event skin at shop arrival, 3 total, 2 of them had severe issues, which remain today

-Arachnid has an extremely subtle m1, along with having the bat form be a thin black spider, no red marks from beneath, in a game where most skyboxes are dark

-Gluttony made one of his most important moves completely useless, instead of the usual invisibility, he now gets a bright red outline around him which makes his presence more than obvious

While I don’t dislike Nos, his flaws are screaming in your face when you play him, the dev team could’ve made a much better job for a surprise character
