And now Ernest is useless in pvp.

He usually gets 240k damage in incursion. Even if the entirety of that damage were from his primary (it isnā€™t), he would still get 192k AND still buff the rest of his teamā€™s dps extremely high, speed boost minions and teammates etc.

A high damaging game for me as any character is around 190-200k. Only really Toby and Orendi clear that in my experience. In my first and only game with Ernest in incursion I hit 230-240k. By putting an egg behind a wall and spamming primary fire from miles away.

There really needs to be a moratorium on the word ā€œuselessā€ the absurd way it gets thrown around.

I donā€™t mean to be provocative but seriously now! There are 28 (soon to be 29) other BB in this game. Ernest, a support character with a ton of team utility, a high-damage ult, and a weapon that fits perfectly into Incursion and Meltdown, did way more than 20% more damage than most of them. If heā€™s useless now, then a lot of other BB must be useless as well.

Moratoriumā€™s are useless now!..Iā€™m horribleā€¦

But seriously I think that Ernestā€™s kit has got to be a pain to balance so Iā€™m not going to bitch
