Possible Characters.....?

Battleborn Battleborn General Discussion

The problem seemed to be how quickly she could kill compared to her incredible level of self sustainment - she is draining life rapidly, dropping orbs that both heal her and damage enemies and her passive drops an overshield on her if her health gets too low. I didn’t notice her killing me but she was next to impossible to chase down because she simply wouldn’t die and her team would end up chasing me off. In this game healers are great at healing themselves and usually move fast as well as not having huge profiles.

People keep saying Miko is balanced by the huge head crit-box but Miko can heal out of virtually any damage so what does it matter? I don’t know what the answer is there exactly. I kind of wish the Biosynthesis ability just healed a blanket amount to Miko and healed those nearby as a one shot burst.

Miko is not balanced there are things wrong with him if he heals as much as he can he should do less damage but those kunai are destructive.

If anything there should be the most support characters. Every team needs support but it isn’t always a desirable role. If there are a bunch it will keep support fresh.

#72

I completely disagree with that statement. One there are only so many support styles you can do. But the bigger thing is supports shouldnt be numerous no matter hos you look at it each character has some support abilities as is but pure support characters should be limited. With that said multi diverse roles like Ambra should come sure. Ambra is both a healer if you spec one way or a Killer if you spec another way or a bit of mix depending on preferences.

Eh, Miko is very balanced. I feel like a lot of people just don’t know how to deal with Miko yet. Miko has to retreat really fast when Miko gets targeted,

But this is not about Miko. ;p

I now think Nova will not be one of the next 5 characters, but maybe she will be in the game later. And I also hope that Rendain gets playable once. :open_mouth:

They all have multiple roles. Kleese is shields and zone control, Reyna is single target buff/debuff, Ambra is an offensive healer, and Miko heals and does cc.

#75

I agree, too many full support characters would clutter and slow the experience. Imagine a world where every bit of ground had some kind of AOE going on… lol

I’m not suggesting all the supports play together just that there is enough of them to keep people who do support from losing interest and teams going unsupported.

#77

The person above u doesnt realize crowd control is support the only one in the game imo who is support thats not full support is ambra

aoe’s are already numerous i want more charaacters with straight up abilities like whiskey he doesnt have a single aoe

How much did you play Kleese and Reyna?

#79

Attikus and Kelvin are similar in terms of straight up abilities unless you count the effects of their ult but not really an AOE. They are my favorites cause I like punching faces, but yeah more of that would be preferable since most do have it.

I played both quite a bit reyna is the very essence of a pure support kleese a bit more versetile but still pure suppirt imo i had both up to level 8.

#81

I played Reyna a little and Kleese a lot. Good bit of Miko and Ambra as well. If you feel that these characters were somewhat one dimensional then that may have just been the way that you felt they were effective not necessarily a reflection of their versatility. Also even if you are correct in their one dimensionality then doesn’t it support my argument that they might get stale and we will then go unsupported due to lack of interest in the support role. You also act as though I’m campaigning for all support dlc characters. You just seemed a little against adding more and I suggested that we could use them. I’m sure whatever characters they add they will be a unique experience.

#82

Im saying if we get more support like ambra we dont need a ton but a handful or 2 more i would be fine with but u said most should be support and i disagree with that we need a smaller amount of versatile ones.

#83

I just meant more support than others overall. Currently 4 out of 25 it could use a small boost.

#84

My opinion on this is that one more healer would be nice as Miko is currently the only “true” healer, but Alani is coming. I think Reyna and Kleese are too good at their jobs (which is a good thing with support characters) and Ambra is a great spot healer but Miko is, well, Miko. If we had another healer to compete with him, well let’s wait and see what Alani can do.

#85

Anyone notice the Dr. Fist quote was all in caps? After reading that how could anyone get anything other than a Mr. Torgue vibe off it? It screams Mr. Torgue to me, just missing the bleeped swear words.

#86

I still feel Miko needs a bit of a nerf either speed healing or something. And i think i still prefer more characters like Ambra.

#87

Yeah, can’t remember if it was with you or who the OP was but I discussed that in another thread. I don’t think Galilea or Ambra are “OP” but Miko can be a nightmare to kill when in the right hands, slippery little bastard.

Well I am the OP of this topic and thread, but I do remember seeing you on other multiple threads talking about that problem. It is reassuring that I am not the only one who things what I do about Miko.

Either way im not against more support I just don’t think we need more pure support we have plenty of those already.
