That last line.
They literally made the game. They spent the time making him fit into it. It was made to deal with it. Or, more properly, he was made to be able to deal as well as he should be. Or do you claim better knowledge than the developers?
EDIT: Furthermore, even if he is as OP as you say (which is an opinion no one here has agreed with), people would riot if he was removed. Credits gone, season pass not following through, meta switched back and forth. This request is not viable.

You are asking for Pendles to be removed because of his invisibility. Meanwhile, this thread pops up:

I am now suffering from some degree of cognitive dissonance!

The way I see it, he’s just infuriating. Not OP, just super annoying. I just realized that although Marquis was nerfed, he was also buffed cuz of Pendles. And then nerfed because of his bubble no longer slowing attack speed. Isn’t meta fun?

#13

You are absolutely right. Not to forget the number of characters that have silence and Stuns to keep him from going back stealth. Maybe troll thread?

Yeah, I know that he can’t do anything while stealthed. The point is that it facilitates him doing whatever he wants whenever he wants, and is then there for him to get away whenever he wants, too.

And no, you can’t easily spot him. Or rather, you can’t really do anything if you do. Character animations and everything else going on in the game is enough for him to get lost, especially considering his obscene move speed.

Only a few of the characters listed actually reveal with their revealing abilities. Most of them just put a red outline around the character that only they can see while still allowing him to remain invisible and have his move speed bonus, while the rest require you to save your skill to use on him specifically and then land it on him while he’s invisible with insane move speed.

I think it’s absolutely hilarious how much trouble you people have with Pendles

I’m positive that it’s posted by somebody who’s using his L1 offensively. Otherwise you have unlimited invisibility until they land a reveal, and then a skill to just turn it back on if they do manage to hit you. Or, if you don’t feel like using it, just step out of site again. The reveal is instantaneous, not a debuff, so if you break line of site again you’re invisible again. Most (all?) of the skills that reveal either propel you or the enemy in a different direction, other than sunspot, which is a stationary skill that’s not likely to reveal the enemy while you’re near them and able to capitalize on it.

Remove Miko as well. He isn’t balanced because barely any characters can heal others. In fact, remove every character. None of them are balanced because I’ve been killed by each of them at least once. I don’t like that and, as we all know, MY opinion and what I want is the only thing that matters.

Healing is countered by damage, and now has its own special counter debuff that usually doesn’t have to be specced into to counter.

Also, it’s neat how you aren’t willing to actually argue against any of the points being made.

#19

If the totality of your argument here, is as you have presented, then I and a few others stand in disagreement of you. Obviously you won’t be swayed from your opinion…the character won’t be removed, he will be modified over and over as the game evolves. I’m very sure those modifications won’t include removing him OR his ability to stealth from the game. I believe your petition to have him removed is a fruitless endeavor and honestly find the points your trying to make a group of moot ones.

Pendles is overpowered, for sure. I played him over the weekend to do all his lore. After two or three games of messing with him I really got the hang of him. After the first game with him I was killing Battleborn left and right. I would capture points and hold them for two minutes, just circling the pad while the enemy tried to blindly fire at me. Incredibly fun to play as, but I know that it was annoying to the other team.

They will definitely nerf him soon, but take him out of the game entirely?! Nah! Alani was overpowered at first. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ernest is either over or under powered at first. Gearbox relies heavily on community feedback, so how can they be expected to release a character and have it be absolutely balanced? They can do all the in house testing they want, but the real test is how they do once released.

Guys, his invisiblob isn’t hard to spot. If you’ve ever played Pendles (or any assassin character) you should be able to somewhat predict where he will be at any given time. That’s what I do, and I have absolutely no problem with him. Sure, I’ve come across good ones, but that literally goes for every Battleborn in the game

Please remember to keep the discussion friendly and condescension-free.

You forget that invisibility in this game is just a Predator Cloak. Anyone who’s been playing long enough can see him clear as day.

Also, where were you when Alani was overpowered? If he really is unbalanced (which he’s NOT) they’ll patch him next week. If they don’t, I don’t want to see ONE more Pendles is OP thread. He’s not. He’s got no health, no damage, and no wave clear potential. He’s just sneaky, and annoying at most.

In capture he’s very strong, as he’s bad with minions. But he really can’t 100 to 0 someone, just finish a weak player.
EDIT to expand cuz my dog won’t let me sleep: he doesn’t necessarily earn his kills. He’s just the janitor. If you get killed by him, it’s because you were almost dead already, and a Deande could have followed you just as he did.

THAT is an incredible point. He’s an assassin who specializes in killing retreating characters. His level 10 helix even increases damage to enemies under 50% health while Miasma is active.

Bravo. Why the HELL didn’t I think of this?

What I find funny is the fact that you’re going around the forums complaining about Pendles. Isn’t this your second post trying to debate the exact same things? Maybe YOU should try reading what other people are saying about Pendles instead of constantly complaining about the exact same things. I don’t need to argue against your points because 1. I already have elsewhere and 2. plenty of other people here already have and make incredible valid points that I don’t need to restate another 10 times for you to be able to comprehend them.

Ok. I feel like this thread is just in a downward spiral.
