Losing my Patience with Pendles

Battleborn Battleborn General Discussion
#24

I really hate Pendles in all aspects, specially his design and ability to kill all buildables without been noticed in most of the times. All games that I play with a healer (I play mostly with Miko and Alani) and he attacks me from stealth while I’m healing my allies and I’m in back lane, is REALLY annoying.

But I think he don’t need a nerf at all.
Skilled players can hurt a lot and can make a huge difference in the match when they’re playing Pendles well. However, bad players with Pendles will make little or no difference at all in a match. And that’s how ALL Battleborn should be. He’s very balanced, in my opinion.

Oh, and I love to kill all that sneaky Pendles with my mighty Boldur. :smiley:

sorry about any english mistakes

No worries you did not make any mistakes, yeah he is frustrating and a skilled one is OP in pubs, but at highlevel he is balanced

Console Issue IMO. Pretty certain PC usually always has a decent mic on standby. as my good friend whos a PC gamer suggested before.

Thank you!

Now that make a lot of sense lol, I fear a lot Pendles when I’m playing solo random games and I can’t call for help or warn my team when he is chasing my Miko.

No problemon, also poor miko all I do is wait for him to use spore then I ambush and kill him before montana (any partner) can do anything about it

what if miko uses stun and then you get stunned by montona followed by aleni wellspring? :unamused:

But WITHOUT a Stealth approach? That’s my take on 1 vs. 1, and why I also said “unless he lands the first pivotal hit(s).” :wink:

While I don’t doubt you can effectively merc the characters you mentioned, I’m betting it’s also based on player skill. With players of comparable skill, if Pendles and pretty much any BB start an engagement facing each other with no other obstacles in the way, you can pick any engagement range you’d like, I’m saying the other BB will PROBABLY win that fight. Hence, why Pendles IS NOT “unfair.” He NEEDS to dictate the terms of engagement and be opportunistic.

Don’t worry about it, your English is actually quite good, as are the points you make in your post. :wink:

Thank you very much. :smiley:

Mhh, we play in PUGs mostly (so 2 as pair, 3 randoms) and we rarely need to communicate, at least in Incursion.
Of couse in such groups it can be that we get stomped by a 5-man-premade with excellent military & tactical communication - but such a thing is a rare case.
Helpfull military communication is a task most people are not capable off, instead its wild jibberjabber that distracts more than being a tactical advantage. At least thats how I perceive it so far.

Worst is when all 4 players try to communicate as much as possible to get the “tactical advantage the rival premade team has”. I rarely works, it gives me headaches and I can barely concentrate if all are pinging & talking…

At best is to flow with the team and make best use of situational awarness, that way you rely less on loud communication.

PS: Sorry, its totaly off-topic I guess >.<

@cadecampbell is right on with the definition @francisconros, but these kind of games are also sometimes called PUGs, or “Pick Up Groups,” just so you know. :wink:

#37

Oh yeah I mean I take the stealthy approach but I can sneak from a montana to miko and hit that giant crit spot, get the kill and smoke bomb out

And we’re on the same page.

Pendles, 1 vs. 1 in a pure slugfest, loses to just about any other BB if players are equal skill. It’s just the nature of his kit, and a big part of why I don’t think he’s unfair, cheap, or OP.

Pendles requires a unique mindset and skills to use effectively, and if you don’t have it (I DON’T!!!), you’re essentially a sub-replacement-level player.

#39

And that is why I like him

EDIT: his lore kinda where benedict talks about him shows what happens even if you win a straight up slugfest with pendles
