Paradise : you can reach everywhere with every character (except the round wall above the MX Elite Spawn)
ColdSnap : never seen any high places
Overgrowth : yes there are walls that only Deande and Benedict can reach (Phoebe and ISIC too with their teleport), but you have nowhere to hide and the sentry shoot you when you are on theses walls
Echelon : don’t think there are any high places
I didn’t played enough Capture to tell
Now we’re complaining that BENEDICT is OP???
I give up…
Lol, not ANY of those places. You honestly haven’t seen a Benedict on top of the sniper perch roofs on Overgrowth? I’m pretty sure it’s an unintended glitch, and that he is not supposed to be able to stay up there; you know, some sort of forced push-off, like when you jump on a sentry.
Right? Thorn too, apparently…
This is exactly what i said :
But like i said it’s too dangerous to go up-there… the only problem is that the sentry doesn’t always shoot at you when you are on theses wall
All character who can reach thoses walls : Attikus, Benedict, Caldarius, Deande, ISIC, Kleese, Mellka, Phoebe, Whiskey and Thorn
All the character who can counter them when there is someone up there : Alani, Attikus, Benedict, Caldarius, Deande, Galilea, Ghalt, ISIC, Kleese, Marquis, Mellka, Miko, Montana, Orendi, Oscar, Phoebe, Reyna, Shayne, Thorn, Toby, Whiskey
Only Ambra, Boldur, El Dragon, Kelvin and Rath can’t really counter them (you can still hit them)
So there is no problem (except the sentry bug)
I know right. I got why people were saying alani needed a nerf(she did need it lol) I can even handle the occasional debate on weather or not rath is op(he’s not) but everybody else is pretty well balanced except for a couple of characters that need a buff(ambra, Toby, WF, and a couple others we could debate on). We need to worry about the bad characters right now instead of the good ones
Okay, nevermind, i’m done; we are NOT talking about the same place. I’ll try ONCE more… The sniper perches where Marquis previously used to cheeze from; you can get on the roof with Benedict. If ANY OTHER characters can get up there, i’ve yet to see it. I believe you are referring to the “walls” overlooking the thrall mercenary area; where i am aware the aforementioned characters can reach.
EDIT: Also, you edited that part of your comment since i responded, as there was no mention of the sentry when i first read it. So maybe other characters CAN get up there; i’ve just never seen nor heard of anyone but Benedict exploiting this.
The walls i’m talking of :
All the characters i’ve listed before can reach them
And on Paradise everyone whith at least a mouvement speed buff, boots, double jump or a dash skill can go up there…
Well, i’ll be a ■■■■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■■■■ ■■■■; We WERE talking about the same wall. Still, like i said, i haven’t seen anyone but Benedict up there; maybe i’m just lucky. My apologies for doubting you.
Benedict has always been very powerful.
Early threads asking for him to get buffed were pretty weird, and obviously not very well thought out.
But I think you’re pushing it a bit trying to claim he’s OP because of his map control… I’m of the opinion that his map control and mobility is the thing that makes him balanced against the rest of his kit.
He’s actually a bit weak “at ground level” and people who think he needs buffs probably spend to much time below the horizon.
How? Any chance of a vid? I assume something about jumping on those pedestals in upper mid to get on the railings?
Mellka and Caldarius can also although it’s slightly harder.
Other than being able to reach places where you cant reach, i find him pretty bad. His attacks are SO SLOW that its very easy to dodge. And if they do hit you, its not amazing damage.
ive personally never been a huge fan of any character having attacks that auto lock on targets. so that means benedicts rockets and reynas plasma shots that auto lock. i have also never been a huge fan of anyone having unbalanced movement mechanics in any game. i hated blink and shadestep in destiny, and i hate benedict, caldarius, and melka’s movement mechanics in this game. i would personally always prefer that everyone had the same basic movement mechanics, with some being able to move faster or slower than others
I Dread seeing them on other teams at times but coming from another benedict player, his extremely low Attack speed is balanced with his rocket power,(his hp is also rather low). hes constantly reloading as well, which yes you can use gear but you are reloading allll the time, you need to be good at aiming to play this guy, if your opponents are good at dodging/aiming or CC you you’re as good as dead.
So is the problem that when he’s flying you can’thir him with a sword. Cause I feel like that’s the point.
Plus he super low health, slow rocket and reload speed balances out his high damage potential.
There are some cheese spots he can stand in but just chase him off and than go back to pushing.
I’ve never had a problem with rockhawk. He’s a massive target so anyone with a gunpws him down.
As Toby I feel like I’m playing Duck Hunt as I shoot Benedict out of the air lol
He’s pretty good in meltdown… the slow and steady trundle of minions make for easy rocket targets, but players juke too much for the rockets to pose a reliable threat.
As for him perching up high, you should always have at least one decent long-range character on your team (not just for anti-Benedict). Toby, Marq, OM, WF, ISIC, Mellka (with good poison canister aim), Ghalt (with slugs helix), and many more can harass him down off a roost if he’s trying to set up shop.
I heard Attikus is OP dropping near 50 kills a game
